EX-CONGRESSMAN HILLARr
SPOKE AT LABOR LYCEuM
SUNDAY NIGHT

Lincoln, WilsonAand Dcbs was me
topic of a speech delivered by our eN-
congressman. Hilliard nt the Labor
Lyceum last Sunday night. Julian and
Conejos Place. The speaker briefly re-
viewed the lives and activities of these
great personalities, emphasizing that
Debs who undoubtedly deserved 10 he
president of the United States is the
greatest of the trio. the greatest in love
and sincerity, courage and. devotion
to his ideals. Mr.. Hillard is II very
en-. husiastic speaker. Sincerity. VII
and humcr are distinguishing features
of his speech making. While the topic
presents rather nm ineShaustible ma
teral for discussion, still Mr.. Hiliiard
made his best within the limits of one
hour. / am also tempted TO say n rev
words about the audience. 1t was
gratifying to see the comparatively
small hall crowded to its full capacity.
There were old folks as well as young
ones. 1t was particularly encouraging
to gee here and there in the hall young
men and young ladies' in their higher
teens these prospective fathers and
mothers of our future generations. In
Denver with no Jewish educational CEN
ter. aS spiritual guide for our young
ones. these '.teens'' were both Won
der and an inspiration. While 1t is
true that the names of these interna-
tionnlly prominent figures as Lincoln.
Wilson and Debs are attractive enough
to draw large crowd. still one could
easily observe that all those faces pres
cnt showed a keen anxiety for more
light for more knowledge, for some
thing more of an educational character.
which would decorate and flavor up the
IncnOtonous grind of everyday life. 1t
was with feeling of profound adj
mirntion that l personally witnessed
a woman of middle age to rise from
her seat and ask the lecturer questions.
With II feeling of pride wish here to
exclaim that the spirit of Israel. its
everlasting craving for more and more
knowledge is sill alive. II is to Ike
highly regretted that up TO this time
the Denver Jewry has not as yet Great
ed a larger temple. which would EN-
brace that wonderful undying spirit.
The workmen's Circle members of Den
YER were the first ones to establish
such an institution sometime ago. but
as the Jewish population of our City
has considerably increased for the last
few years they seem to be the first
ones again to realize the necessity of
larger edifice, which they are con-
templating to build very shortly. They
certainly deserve TO be congratulated
upon this inspiring initiative and l
would mos earnestly and respectfully
urge every man and women of Denver,
who are interested in the educational
progress of our community. to contri-
butte their utmost to help make this
idea successful reality.
