DELTA COUNTY FAIR ADDS
MANY SPECIAL PREMIUMS

Despite the determined and per-
sistent efforts Of the officials Of the
Mesa County Fair to injure and de-
stroy our Fair. the directors and Off
GERS of the Delta County Fair Associa-
tion are counting on the loyalty and
public-spiritedness of the citizens of
this county to again make our fair
the unqualified success which it has
always been, and if the under current
of public opinion manifested to the
fair officials of this county means
anything it indicates that the blatant
advertising now being done by our
sister fair association in the papers of
this county only serve to increase
the indignation felt by the people of
Delta county at the overbearing and
domineering actions of the Mesa Co.
Fair.
The Fair at Hotchkiss always has
best, if not the best, county fairs in
the state, and this year will be no ex-
ception. Besides the wonderful ex-
hibits which are being prepared, an
adequate sport program will furnish
the visitors with plenty of amusement

ium list, additional special premiums
have been offered by certain of

The public library is an active
agency for mass enlightenment and
education. Once there was a theory
that library was for the man Of es-
tablished scholarship or place for
rest and recreation. Perhaps some
men hold that idea today. People in
fast growing number use a public
library as means to extend their
knowledge, and from books they get
ideas, reasoning and thought-training
they would not otherwise get. Chill
dren use a public library in meeting
tasks set by teachers. You will see

ence books looking things up" and
the habit of looking things up" is a
valuable one to form. The public
library is a distinguished feature of
our civilization. 1t has contributed to
that civilization and 1t is at work
raising the standard of civilization.

A Celebrated Case.

The contention growing out Of the
sixty-day Jail sentence imposed upon
Charles l.. Craig, controller of New
York city, for contempt of court, by
Federal Judge Mayer, promises to be.
come a celebrated case, and possibly
may result in curtailing the power of
the judiciary in such instances. Mr..
Craig had criticized the action Of the
court in a certain case, and Judge
Mayer promptly sentenced him TO
sixty days in Jail for contempt. APP
peal was taken to the Supreme Court
last Monday sustained the judge.
No one has questioned the action of
the court of last resort, but a storm
of Indignation and protest has been
raised in New York against Judge
Mayer. The papers are full of letters
from citizens scoring the judge and
calling for modification of the practi-
cally unlimited power now vested in
the judiciary in contempt cases. Con-
troller Craig accepted the verdict of
the Supreme Court without a murmur,
and has announced his willingness to
go to Jail as soon as the mandate
comes down.
His friends, however, have set out
to seek a pardon from President Cool
idge, and inquiries We're made yester-
day as to how to proceed in order
Some lawyers have raised the question
whether the President has the pardon
ing power in contempt eases. Another
angle of the case turns toward Con-
gress, where two senators, Norris Of
Nebraska and Walsh Of Montana. ad-
vocate changing the law so as to re-
Quire trial by jury in contempt cases.
The most serious feature of it all is
that once the subject of changes in
the power Of federal courts is taken
up vista is opened of many other
changes in judicial procedure.

The Public Library.

Two articles on the Public Library
as supplemental to the public school
system recently appeared in The Star
One was an address by William AL
len White in the course Of Education
week, and the other was by DR..
George f. Bowerman. librarian Of the
Washington Public Library, publish
ed in the American City and reprint
ed by The Star. The articles followed
the same argument. Mr.. White said
that the public library was Americas
continuation school. He said that 1t is
Americas most democratic educa-
tional institution. and that "if the
schools will only teach the reading
habit the library will educate the
world, for the public library Of Amer.
lea is free to every new idea, free to
every fresh point Of view-nothing is
barred because 1t is new or radical or
different" DIR. Bowerman said that
the library needs the school to give
the basic education to fit the individ-
ual to use the library, and it needs
that the school should point the child
to the library. where It can round out
and continue its education. He said
that the school needs the library to
furnish illustrative material and vital.

Seek to Reveal Color
OF Horse Revere Rode

Chexplored sources of American
history are to be dug into If Will
Hays and the motion picture people
carry out their present determine
ton.
1t all comes out of the fact that
they found that no one knows the
color of Americas best known horse,
the one ridden by Paul Revere when
he made his famous ride to Lexington
and Concord to warn the coloniStS.
Because of such inaccuracy in his
tory records the motion picture in
dustry has taken steps for the founda-
tion of an Independent historical re-
search bureau, under the direction
of Mr.. Hays.
Historians have told the main
events, but nowhere is there any au-
thentic record of exactly how things
looked. For instance. when we want
ed to know what sort of wagons
were used with the northern armies
during the revolutionary war, not a
single historical record described
them.
