ADVICE FROM THE BENCH

Judge o. X. Reaves on his retire
profitable advice which it will be most
profitable to remember.
Among other things he said:
ITO one who has tired to administer
the law and who knows that security
of life, liberty and property lies only
within (neyer without the law, 1t is
appalling to read of so much lynching
Give the courts a chance. They will
punish crime according to orderly pro-
cedure under the constitutional guar
antics which the people have prescrib-
ed for their own protection and there
by deter crime. Lynchings directly
and logically produce other crimes,
especially of the nature charged
against the person lynched. This is
true because of the law of suggestion
and imitation (Which so largely gov
ems human conduct) aggravated by
the spirit of revenge
Let no man assume to be wiser
than the law The law is nothing
more nor less than the rules which
the people have themselves made for
their own government as members of
society These rules (The Constitu-
tion-the organic law guarantee to
every person accused of crime (1)
The right of trial by an impartial
jurys CD To be heard to demand the
nature and cause of the accusation
against him; 90 To meet the witness
against him face to face; (4) To be
furnished with copy of the indictment
against him; CD That cruel or un-
usual punishment shall not be admin
istered aAd (6) That no person shall
be deprived of life or liberty without
due process of law, All of these guar
antees are violated in every lynching
Moreover every voter imam and wo-
mani when he or she registered took
and subscribed to an oath that he or
she would protect and defend the
constitution of the United States and
of the state of Florida" etc, there
fore if We participate in mobs, we
only assault organized society, be-
come false to a fundamental duty of
citizenship; break down government,
breed crime, participate in murder,
but directly violate the sacred oath
of citizenship by going against the
very constitution that we have sworn
to protect and Defend

TALKING WITH THE DEAD

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's visit will
awaken an unusual interest because
of its unusual object. If the distingu-
ished author came to lecture on litera-
ture he would be assured of warm
welcome. Coming as he does to
preach spiritualism and to prove both
the existence of life after death and
the possibility of communicating with
the spirit world, his mission tran
scends that of most lecturers from
abroad.
He has talked, he says. with more
than twenty members of his family
who have passed from earth He
knows there is no hell He is just as
positive in his conviction that the de-
parted are happier in their spirit life
than they were here. Surely this is
a message calculated to appeal to the
most indurate materialist.
1t is a message that a public less
skeptical than it was about the cruder
spiritualistic phenomena of a former
thine will receive with open mind.
The world generally is in a more re-
ceptive mood as regards the possible
truth of the doctrine of spiritualism
than was the case before the war. All
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's audiences
will ask is proof; they will no doubt
be content with proof of one alone
of his claims-that he holds commu-
nication with his dead soldier son.
The credulous will believe as a mat
ter of course; the doubters. will de-
mand positive sign and token, and
it remains to beeseen how fully the
lecturer can supply that need. 1t is a
disadvantage, as respects convincing
the sceptical. that the lecturers talks
with his dead have been conducted
only through a medium. "a delicate
naturalization being necessary as
he says, "as means of communica-
ton" That is the veil behind which
imposture has hid in the past, and

FISHING SEASON OPENS THIS
WEEK; RIVER RISING RAPIDLY

Of trout per day in the state, instead
Of ten pounds, as heretofore.
Fishing licenses are not required
by women or boys under Is years Of
age.
Boys under 16 years Of age are al
lowed to catch and have in their pos
session only one half the amount Of
fish permitted to those having icenss.
Aliens are permitted to fish with
nonresident license.
The provisions Of the old law, for
bidding night fishing, forbidding the
catching Of fish under seven inches in
length and forbidding seining Of trout
are still in effect.
The entire regular force of Rolla
G. Parvin, state game and fish COM
missioner, and number of special
deputies and the Colorado rangers
will patrol the trout streams during
the summer to enforce the provisions
Of the law. They have instructions
to arrest any and all violaters and to
prosecute them to the full extent Of
the law.

They're OF! Yesterday witnessed
the opening Of the Umpty- -Umpteenth
Annual Fishing season on the Gunni-
son river and tributaries as well -
on certain other minor brooks thru
out the state.
The weather was fine, being sliRht-
ly cloudy in the afternoon, and threat
ening rain drove some Of the less en-
thusiastic into town.
The Gunnison itself was extremely
high, as high as it has been, accord
ing to Judge McDougal. who hasn't
missed an opening day since opening
days came into being, and then some,
spent an hour under the Palisades
and averaged four out of seven.
A large number of fishermen tried
out the Tomichi and were exception
ally well rewarded. The Tomichi
seems to be lower than usual for
this time Of year, and is in excellent
bait-fishing shape.
Reports from whaling grounds"
down the river, are not as yet avail
able.
Any fisherman will do well to make
a study of the new fish and game
laws enacted by the 23rd general as
seHlDiy year ago. NuiHerOuS I'M
portant changes in the law regarding
trout fishing have been made and a
study of the law will keep fishermen
from violations, which may land them
in some justice court.
For the benefit of fishermen, the
principal changes in the law are here
with given:
Fishing licenses for residents Of
the state cost 81 this year instead Of
81 as heretofore.
Fishing licenses for non- residents
cost S5 instead. of SO, as heretofore.
The bag limit for one days catch
of trout is ten pounds, instead Of fif-
teen pounds as heretofore.
A fisherman may have only twenty
pounds of trout in his possession at
one time instead of 25 pounds as
A fisherman may ship five pounds

SURPRISE DOUBLE WED
DING 1t sAGuACHE

Two of Gunnison's most popular
young couples started out last Sunday
morning on a1picnic, in all due form,
and before noon word was received
that the picnic had resolved itself into
q quiet double wedding at the Baptist
church in Saguache. The couples
were Miss Katherine Lashbrook and
John F. Andrews, and Miss Mary
Blanche Adams and Carroll G.
Christie.
Miss Lashbrook is the second
daughter Of Mrs. Efie Lashbrook Of
Gunnison, and was born and educated
Of this city. For the past year she
has been one Of the efficient clerks
behind the counters Of the s. ]. Miller
& Sons store. "Jack" is tho son of
Mr.. and Mrs. F. H. Andrews, and is
likewise one of Gunnison county's
prize products. He is an expert auto
mechanic, and during the late war,
served with the Aviation section, U.
s. Army. Since his return from SER
vice, he has been connected with the
Rainbow Route Garage.
Mr.. and Mrs. Andrews expect to
short visit with Mr.. Andrews moth
leave Sunday for Canon City for q
er, after which they will make their
home in Gunnison.
Miss Adams is the daughter Of Mr..
and Mrs. Walter Adams, prominent
Doyleville ranch people. She attend
ed high school here, where she became
acquainted with Mr.. Christie, who at
tended our college in 1920-21. Mr..
Christie's home Is in Olathe, but at

sion business at Montrose, where the
couple will likely make their home.
Mr.. Christie came up last week for
q few days visit, but was called back
on Monday. He will return the lat
ter part of this week.
The double wedding ceremony was
performed at Saguache at the Baptist
church, the Baptist minister from

ing, but when found, ,>he obligingly
opened up his Office and issued he
licenses.
Congratulations and good wishes
are extended the happy young people
by q large circle Of friends thruout
the county.

OF COMMERCE

The regular May meeting Of the
Chamber of Commerce was held on
Wednesday evening at the Tea Room.
The warm spring weather showed its
effects, attendance dropping to only
35 as against the customary average
of As or SO.
Preceding the seven o'clock lunch-
con, the College High School band
serenaded the gathering, in apprecia-
tion of the efforts of the Chamber Of
Commerce in aiding in the band trip
TO Denver. Their concert in turn
was much appreciated and drew
forth much applause from the crowd
gathered to hear and enjoy it.
b. II. Jorgensen, chairman of tho
band committee, reported that suf-
ficient funds had been raised to make
the 5000 contribution toward the
bands trip to Denver last week, and

monstrated their capabilities as fire.

run contest from the Town Hall to

: Some weeks ago, Fire Chief Brew
er announced that he would give .
dinner to the team winning this con-
test, and for the past month the four
teams have been practicing deligent-
ly, and the good results Of their
work are apparent in the speed and
smooth action with which the truck
was brought to the designated point,
the hose unloaded and coupled, and
wster turned On.
The runs had been advertised, and
. big crowd waited at the La Veta on
Sunday afternoon to see the finish Of
the runs.
The first team made the six blocks,
unloaded and coupled the hose and
had water in one minute and forty
seconds, extremely good time, but
not nearly good enough. The second
team made It in 1911, putting in q
perfect exhibition. The third team
made the run in 1881, and the last
and winning team made Il IN 1880.
The second and fourth teams were
apparently equal in their skill in
/ handling the hose at. the end Of the
run, but, tie fourth made better time
in running the truck to the scene OF
action. Prof. J. s. Ferris acted q

Wheree'er the grave grass Wdres green broiOn,
There, in their ndrr0,0 beds, heroes lie.
Beneath the southland's laurel bush they sleep;

On Flanders fields, schere bl0od-red poppies peep
At home, amidst their boyish paytine scenes
Whereer the flag asked but their help to saue-
There sleep the brave!
Where sleep the brave? Where'er grin, dutys call
They heard and dns,OereG acith a freemdn's might,
And daring all, they gave their country all,
For God and native land, and home and right
In faded blue, or in the khaki.bs0pn,
Beneath the little mounds they scattered lie
Near by each UiLage city, hamlet toCn
Or in the seas, beneath kindly sky,
Whereer the flag floats orer grass-grO,cn grave
