person as to the views he entertained
toward the plan. Decision to state
his position clearly, once and for all,
as he put it, is understood to have
crystallized at a conference which
Mr.. Davis had last night with party
leaders.
Mr.. Davis voiced his declaration
on the Khan at the conclusion of a
general address in which he vigor-
ously scored the Republican party
on the record OF the scandals dis
closed at Washington and pointed
out the chief points on which the
two parties differ.
Apparently few in the audience
looked for such a declaration When
the nominee with out-thrust jaw
and vigorous gesture, first named
the Klanfi there was hush. But it
was only for an instant-then
cheers broke from the thousands
present.
Again and again he was inter-
rupted by cheering and there were
cries of Good boy!"; That's the
stuff" from his audience.
Mr.. Davis said at the outset that
the issue was one that had no prop
err place in this or any other cam
paign and that he mentioned it in
the hope that he might dispose 4, of
it once and for all, so far as lie was
concerned.
Reminding his hearers that in his
his Clarksburg acceptance address
he had affirmed his personal be-
lief in the great guarantee of rclig-
ious freedom and religious tolera-
ton which have made this country
what it is" the nominee declared
he had sought to give his views in
terms sufficiently broad to include
any and all forms of bigotry, preju-
dice and intolerance.
ION that declaration l stand" he
said Whenever any organization
no matter what it chooses to be
called, whether Ku kluX Khan OIL
by any other name, raises the STAN
dard of racial and religious belief
as a test of fitness for public office
it does violence to the spirit of Am
erican institutions and must be
condemned by all those who believe
as l do in American ideals.
Hear me for one further word
/ repeat that these matters must not
be permitted to divert the attention
of the public from the vital ques.
ions now before them. To this end
and with this end only in my mind
/ venture, here and now, to impress;
the hope that the nominee of the
Republican Party will see fit by
some explicit declaration to Join m,
in entirely removing this topic from
the field of political debate"

Art Not Initiative of Nature

What essentially distinguishes the
artist is not ability to make himself
ineligible to others this is the
definition of craftsma nship-but the
ability to see more clearly and pro-
foundly than the average man the
aesthetic possibilities OF the world
about him. These possibilities may
not be realized in actually existing
particular things and their revelation
may consequently compel modifica-
ton or distortion of the actual: but
the purpose of the modification is not
to leave the stamp CT humanity of
spirit kindred to the observers.
upon the work; it is to make a more
adequate revelation. It is true,
doubtless, that we enjoy finding a
kindred spirit in the artist, but the
enjoyment in appreciation of art at
its best NAV be less that of recogniZ-
ing likeness than of recognizing I'M
likeness, less a discovery Of our
selves in another than expansion Of
cur own mind through the profound
er vision of acknowledgements

Improve Sidewalks
On Colby Campus

Among the improvements that are
being made at Colby college during
the summer months is the building
of several new concrete sidewalks in
place of the cinder walks that have
been used for many years. The walk
from Chemical hall to the sidewalk on
College avenue is being constructed
also a concrete walk connecting the
south entrance of Memorial hall with
the Chemical hall walk. A third con-
crete walk is being constructed di-
agonally across the campus from
South college to the College avenue
sidewalk.
These walks will make a decided
improvement in the appearance of
the college grounds and will serve a
very useful purpose in the early
spring of the year when it has been
necessary in other years to put
down boards during the wet season.
