The Box WorId-Peace FizzIe

Edward Bok's world peace plan has
failed to be taken seriously because
it is nothing less than an inadequate
modification and syllabus of the four
teen points, originally Incorporated
into the league of nations.
Several weeks ago the Evening
News gave notice that this precious
document was likely to be used as
propaganda in advocacy of the league
of nations, and that forecast has been
amply verified
The judges in charge of the Box
peace award, selected by Mr.. Box, are
all well-known advocates of the
league of nations, two or three
being ardent Wilsonites. 1t was not
difficult to foresee that the only
plan acceptable to such body would
insist on the league of nations as
the only way out for world peace.
This is very strange thing, when
you stop to think about it, because
everyone is perfectly familiar with
the fact that although the league OF
nations has been functioning for
three years, it has not had the slight.

W, H. Baldwin Seriously Hurt.

w. H. Baldwin was returning from
the hills with a load OF wood Friday
when he was struck by passing auto
and seriously injured. When the acct
cent occurred Mr.. Baldwin was walk.
ing by the side OF the wagon. In the
auto were three young men on their
way to a dance, who must have been
speeding as the force of the impact
overturned the car, tearing off all the
wheels save one, and the occupants
were forced to crawl out from under
the wreck, all escaping without injury.
A passing auto picked up Mr.. Baldwin
who was unconscious. and he was
taken to Cedaredge where he was
given first aid. Saturday morning he
was taken home and is resting as
comfortably as can be expected. One
limb is bruised from the hip to the
ankle, and there are several bad
bruises about the head and face.

THE FINAL PINNACLE OF FAME

The birthdays of two illustrious
Americans, Washington and Lincoln,
are observed during the month of
February. 1t might be remarked that
it is the final pinnacle of fame when
a man gets his birthday generally
noticed. America has been served by
many illustrious statesmen, but there
are mighty few OF them whose birth.
days are remembered by the people
To get his birthday observed, a man
must have reached a certain pre-
eminence, not merely of intellect, but
of sacrifice and service. He must
have so touched the imagination and
heart of the people that they 81 at
lection for him as well as generation
Roosevelt was one of those who
have reached this higher distinction
and his birthday on October 81 is
quite widely noted. Our statesmen
should strive for that popular affec-
ton that comes from lives of unstint.
ed devotion and service.

ROCKWELL FOR GOVERNOR

According to press reports from
Paonia, Lieutenant Governor Robert
F. Rockwell will be a candidate for
nomination for governor on the Re-
publican ticket AS a farmer and
stockman, he has strong support, not
only on the western slope, but
throughout the agricultural districts
of the state. He would make a
splendid race for governor and would
fill the office with ability and salts

JOURNALISTIC ACCURACY

The complaint most frequently
made against newspapers is that they
are inaccurate. There is a constant
spirit of jeering at newspapers be
cause of the mistakes that occur in
their columns.
People who take that view should
remember that the newspapers mis-
takes are specially conspicuous. The
business mans mistakes are usually
known only to the few people who
are affected by each error. But when
newspaper man makes a bull, which
is no worse than what occurs daily
in all departments of life, then every
one can see and scott
Newspaper work is done in a hurry.
The field to be covered is large. Very
few newspapers have forces big
enough to cover the field with ideal
thoroughness. In many cases it is
impossible to verify items completely.
The man who has the most reliable
information about matter may be
out OF town, or it may not be possible
to find him before an issue goes to
press. Yet the newspaper must have
an account of the matter, and in such
case it has to depend on the best
information it can get
In many cases the public are care
less in their ways of giving informa-
ton. They state facts in a loose and
, inaccurate way. The reporter who
reproduces exactly what was given to
him, is blamed for something entirely
wrong.
Still the newspapers should not
make too many apologies of this kind.
1t is their duty to get the highest
degree of accuracy possible in a
limited time, and to get material
from the people who really know
about things rather than by indirect
hearsay. The people who seek work
in newspaper offices should realize
the absolute necessity of precision in
their collection OF facts. 1t is diff
cult to make a success in the news,
paper field, unless a person is willing
to take very great pains to get things
straight

OPEN SEASON FOR SOME FEW

Each election year there appears up
on the horizon the usual number of
"bunk-slingers." There is always
someone who is detecting a great
split" here and a great combine"
there. Everybody is against him"
and the Lord only knows not what.
Usually we devote very little space
to such mugwumps, words of mouth
or otherwise.
A few days ago the Montrose Press
told of an impending Calamity" They
had reference to the recent meeting of
the Republicans of Delta county, at
which time the kwell-for-Governor
club was organized. They pictured
this writer and others as not having
been invited; in fact, they intimated
that it was a hand picked" crowd
This we do not believe is true.
We received an invitation in ample
time. As for the others mentioned in
that article we know not. While the
attendance was over 100, it is true
that this did not include all the Re
publicans or party workers in the
county. But in our opinion it was a
very representative meeting.
The Rockwell-for Governor organi-
cation will hold many meetings dur
ing the coming months, which the
Republican supporters will be urged
to attend We doubt very much
whether the propaganda which has
been advanced at this early stage will

from the wagon. His back was
broken and his skull fractured.
His clothing or body had likely
