WE note that many papers decaiming against the
campaign expenditures of Clifford Pnchot in obtain
ing his nomination for Governor of Pennsylvania Those
should take into the fact that there
is law limiting campaign expenditures in that state
and that Mr. Pnchot like all others is compelled to play
the according the established rules Also the de-
of the republican ring in that worth all that
it costs and possibly be placed the
cessful candidate for handling his according to
tablished usage.
WHILE they are hunting ways to suppress the Ku
Kux want to again suggest that the easiest is to
make it clear that the killing of Ku Klux is legitimate
and meritorious The present law permits taking of

citizen is warranted in shooting kill He may legally
assume that the attacking parties not officers and if
he happens kill sheriff district attorney all the
for the official 1t requires special nactment
merely the exercise of inherent rights
AT the Commencement exercises of the Gunnison
County High School last Thursday evening, i'm
with the evident sincerity of the young people who
were graduating We listened with interest to the class
prophesy the will and testament and the general
gram and thoughts back the years which

them, and parents hoped that they had builded
better world their children live in But how
mpotent efforts build better. While these
boys and girls have been striving for education what
have done help them? The writer really believes
the old live only in the hopes for posery But how
futile efforts In the last ten years have

lions of unjust and burdensome taxes their young
shoulders amount of which will be paid if paid at
by their children To that have not been
good fathers mothers We should have builded to
eve rather than burden their future lives We find
many excuses for what have done. We point to
better roads, better Schools higher conception of living
