EVENTS IN FEBRUARY

February is the shortest month in
the year, but every four years it has
added to its length one day. In this
year of 1924 it has 30 days, hence the
term Leap Year'-that is, it leaps
one day ahead and then slides back
to its routine of % days.
Leap Year is usually looked forward
to by some of the fairer sex as an OPP
portunity, and a. privilege, to choose
life mate. Whether any of them
are ever bold enough to do this, we
do not knew At any rate, it's their
unquestioned right to say wilt
thou?" and if he willis" there has
been no breach of ethics.
In fact, if women were given the
privilege of proposing" instead of
having to choose from "what comes
TO her. there would, in many cases,
be better matches, happier homes,
brighter children and less divorces.
But here are some Of the events
that have happened and do happen in
February:
February 2-Ground Hog Day.

A SENSIBLE VIEW

) A movement has just been started
in Grand juno tion to ask that the
Western State College now located
at Gunnison be moved to the juno
ton. 1t is just such shortsighted
policies that prevent the proper
Growth of the Western Slope and
tend to keep all the state institu-
tions on. the eastern side of the range
The Gunnison Normal has been @
source of jealousy over the slope
generally for years and Grand juno
tion can always be relied upon to fos-
ter any movement to disrupt the in
stitution. At present Gunnison has q
spendid campus and site, many
thousands of dollars have been spent
for buildings and the institution has
heen steadily growing. The present
difficulties have nothing to do with
the location of the school but could
easiy have happened in any Other
town on the slope, in fact other state
institutions are under fire on the
same grounds. If Grand Junction
wishes to become the jobbing center
it aspires to be such jealousies must
be overcome. Instead of asking fol
the removal of an established institu.
tion the Junction and other towns Of
the slope should unite in asking that
the institution be assisted financially
to point where it can become eff.
cient in handling the needs of this
section of the state. There is much
to lose and nothing to be gained by
such tactics.-Cedaredge Champion

WESTERN REPUBLICANS WANT
ROCKWELL FOR GOVERNOR

Paonia, Colo, Feb. 5-Neighbors of
Robert F. Rockwell, lieutenant gov
ernor of Colorado, and his friends
from all parts of Delta county, met
here today and formed the first Rock
well-for-G Governor club. Others will
speedily be organized throughout the
state, they said.
The movement launched here today
is expected to result in formal an
nouncement from Mr.. Rockwell with
in few days. He has made it clear,
according to statement to the Pao-
nian, that he had not been consulted
as to his willingness to run again for
lieutenant governor with former Gov
ernor Oliver H. Shoup heading the
ticket.
Charles J. Moynihan of Montrose,
and Merle D. Vincent of Grand juno
tion, according to the Paonian, were
active in forming the Rockwell for
Governor club here today. Speakers
at this meeting recalled that the
western slope has never been repre-
sented by a candidate for governor
on the ticket of either the Democrat.
ic or Republican party. They point
ed out that Rockwell is one of the
leading stockmen and farmers and
that the Republican party has never
selected candidate from either Of
these groups.
Speakers also eulogized the record
of Rockwell as member of the house
of representatives in the state legis-
lature. in the state senate and as
lieutenant governor, where, they said
his services have won admiration an6
confidence of the people all over Col
orado.
Taking cognizance of the demand
on the part of'friends and the press
of the state that he be candidate
for governor, they declared here that
1--WE, his neighbors, who have known
him since boyhood, recognize in hin
all those qualities which make great
executive, regard him as the logical
candidate and believe him the mar
best fitted to assume the duties OF
that great Office"
Later:AIn telegram received to
day, Mr.. Rockwell announces himself
as a candidate.-Ed.

PORT ARTHUR
FLOGGER CONFESSES
II. X. X. Leader Pleads Guilty and
VIII Name Ten Men

The promise of H. E. Mcbride, in
confessing in court his own guilt, to
reveal to the grand jury at Port
Arthur, Texas, on February 4th, the
names of ten other Klansmen who on
June 80, 1928 fogged James E. Hol-
land and John Murray, members of
the Industrial Workers of the World,
marks the end of Klan violence in
that section, according to the estima-
tion of the American Civil Liberties
Union, which helped finance the eff
forts to bring the mob leaders to
justice.
Mcbride, according to the Civil
Liberties Union attorney, entered a
plea of guilty after change of
venue to Galveston county had been
granted by the court. Galveston
county is anti-Klan. He was fined
fifty dollars and costs.
The indictment against Judge A.
w. Dycus, an alleged participant in
the fogging, was dismissed upon Nc
Brides sworn statement that some
other person resembling the judge
was in the mob. All the foggers
were members of the Ku Klux Klan.
The Port Arthur fogging won
nationwide attention last June as a
result of the announced march of I.
w. WIS on the city. The demonstra-
tion was undertaken to focus public
interest on the outrage against Hol-
land and Murray, but later was
called off.
