While Mr.. Halves apparently has a

by up Judge Ewing Cockrell, a dry,

Both Williams and Halves are de-

been the opposition to the League

demand that the United States adhere,
with reservations, to the court.
The solidarity with which the Re.

Senator Curtis has been particularly
gratifying to him and to his friends
He took no part in his campaign, ow-

Gov. Ben S. Paulen, Republican, like
Senator Curtis, was without serious
opposition for denomination. Two
years ago he was attacked as the
Khan candidate, but in the present
race he was not connected with that
organization. Early returns give
former Gov. Jonathan M. Davis the
lead for the Democratic nomination
for governor. Should Davis lose, it

Whether any report that Col
Thompson may make can accomplish
this, however, is grave question, be-
cause all the indications from the
islands indicate that Col Thompson
is being greatly impressed with the
contrary view to independence. One
of the most significant statements that
he has made is similar to that just
expressed by Mr.. Firestone, namely,
that the Philippines posses the means
to break the rubber monopoly. After
that. the most important statement
he has allowed to be cabled back is
that apparently the Filipinos are not
vet ready for self-government. The
colonel also Is reported to have been
impressed by the lack of enthusiasm
among the masses for the self-govern-

Urges Attention to States.

This celebration is exceedingly ap-
propriate at this time" he added. THE
Nation is inclined to disregard alto
gether too much both the functions
and the duties of the States. They
are much more than subdivisions of
the Federal Government. They are
also endowed with sovereignty in
their own right OF course, one of
their chief glories lies in the fact that
they are all partakers of the Ameri-
can spirit, all a part of the American
Nation, but q great deal OF the
strength OF the Federal Government
lies in the fact that the States have
the power to function locally and in
dependently. subject only to the re-
strictions which they themselves have
invoked by adopting the National Con-
stitution.
This fiftieth anniversary is in cele-
bration of that principle. 1t was SO
years ago that Colorado put off the
garb of a. Territory almost exclu-
sively under the dominion of the Ma
tional Government and put on the
robes of a sovereign American State.
The great progress that it has made
in these years has been in no small
part due to the application of the
principle of local self-government.
OF all the wealth and eminence that
this State has achieved, this is its
chief treasure. 1t ought to be main
tanned undiminished and guarded
with jealous care through all the
years to come"

"It is related that Spanish explorers
in the middle of the sixteenth century
first set foot on the soil of what Is
now Colorado, and that Escalante Wis
tied there in 1916. But virtually it
remained an unknown area until
Lieut.. Zebulon M. Pike Of the United
States Army in 1906 discovered the
peak that became his memorial. Ten
years later Maj. Stephen H. Long,
also an Army man, gave his name to
another peak towering into the sky
for more than $4,000 feet Nowhere
in the world does scenery surpass that
of Colorado. She has a mountainous
area six times that Of Switzerland.
Nature wrought her with lavish
hand. Long was followed by Dick
Wootan, Jim Barker, Kit Carson and

of claims and the protection Of prop
erty in this region, which was then
included in the Territory Of Kansas,
were inadequate. Steps were taken
to form a new State or Territory, to
be named Jefferson, in honor of the
drafter of the Declaration Of Inde-
pendence. But it was not until the
last day of February, 1861, at the
close of President Buchanan's admin
istration, that Colorado Territory was
established. It's name, meaning col
ored,' and fitting so well the varied
scenic displays of the State, was
chosen by William Gilpin. One of the
first acts Of President Lincoln was the
appointment of Giplin as territorial
governor.
"The State was carved out of the
then Territories of Kansas, Nebraska,
New Mexico and Utah. A part of her
area had come into possession of
the United States through the Louis
lana purchase, another from the
Texas cession and the remainder by
the Mexican cession. 1t was gath

historic ownership. The people of the
new Territory were loyal. They raised
