|ELY EDUCATORS
| AT CONFERENCE
Attend Sessions in Virginia
Today to Discuss Help
for Needy Students.

Heads of the Ely school system are in
Virginia today attending conference
of 10 Junior Colleges of northern Mimi
esota. Under consideration are plans
for better educational service to the
out-of -work, out-of-school people of
their areas.
Representing Ely are Sigurd F. Olson,
college dean; Conrad G. Haugen, high
school principal; Miss Jessie H.
Michaelson and Joseph Fleming.
The conference was called by the
Minnesota Junior College Deans associ-
alton, of which Dean H. A. DreScher of
Hibbing Junior College is president, and
Dean Vernon E. Anderson of Worthing-
ton Junior College is secretary.
This is to be one of 26 regional con-
ferences planned for the country at
large and intended to include all the
575 junior colleges in the United States.
The six southern Minnesota Junior
College will meet with the Iowa Junior
Colleges in Des Moines, Iowa, May II.
DR.. Walter c. Eells of Washington,
D. c., director of the recently organized
Commission of Junior College Terminal
Education, will lead the discussions
The purpose, as explained by DR.. Eells
is ito discover what the junior colleges
are offering, and what they ought to
offer, especially for students who will
not continue their formal education
beyond the two junior college years
That is the problem of terminal edu-
cation"
| Each institution has been invited to
send representatives of the faculty and
also of the student body. DR.. Eells will
explain the present status and needs
of terminal education and will ask the
conferees to help define the prob
lens and to discuss methods for theil
solution. Special attention will be giver
to problems peculiar to Minnesota.
with 100000 young people out Of
school and out of work, there ought tt
be four times as many college freshmen
and sophomores as there are" says DR.
Eells. Large numbers of them coule
profit by courses designed to prepare
them for semi-professional and skilled
vocations. In the study now being
undertaken, the junior colleges vii
survey the courses they are offering
so as to decide what additional courses
they should give.''
The Commission on Junior College
Terminal Education was organized thi
year by the American Association O.
Junior Colleges under a grant from TIT
general education board.

Naming of Ely Streets
Pays Tribute to Pioneers

Hardly appearing old enough to have
been actively engaged in ushering in
the newborn townsite, he has given
than any other living person.
From the days when the cruisers
used to walk into this territory from
Duluth to what we now enjoy as resi-
dents of the Vermilion ranges principal
municipality was a long hard struggle.
Many of the early pioneers received
little for their efforts in developing the
country, with now and then only
street or an addition name paying
indeed small tribute to the fathers of
our now prosperous community.

sensed that it typifed that very
thought. Here were hundred thou
sand Americans from every part of
the United States, representing ev-
cry faith, every station of life, yet
Carried away by a single devotion.
Mr.. Willkie briefly sketchcd his
boyhood in Elwood and told of his an
cestors who, "like the ancestors of
millions of Americans, lived in cen
trail Europe. They were humble
people-not members of the ruling
or wealthy classes. Their opportu-
mites were restricted by discrimina-
tory laws and class distinctions. One
was exiled because of his religion;
another was prosecuted because he
believed in the principles of the
French revolution; and still another
was jailed for insisting on the right
of free speech. AS their descendant,
have fought from boyhood against
all those restrictions, discrimina-
tions and tyrannies. And am still
fighting"
Foreign Policy.
Mr.. Willkie compared the peace
of America with the conditions in
war-torn Europe, and defined his
foreign policy by saying:
J. "No man is so wise as to foresee
what the future holds or to lay out
a plan for it. No man can guaran-
tee to maintain peace. Peace is
not something that a nation can
achieve by itself. 1t also depends
on what some other country does.
1t is neither practical, nor desirable,
to adopt foreign program commit
ting the United States to future ac-
ton under unknown circumstances.
1.-THE best that we can do is to
decide what principle shall guide us.
"F'or me, that principle can be
simply defined:
"In the foreign policy of the
United States, as in It's domestic
policy, would do everything to
defend American democracy (,
and 1 would refrain from doing
anything that would injure it.
1--WE must not permit our emo
tions-our sympathies or hatreds-
to move us from that fixed prin-
ciple."
Again the crowd let out a deafen-
ing cheer. 1t was an exciting mo-
ment. A nation was waiting anx-
iously to hear Mr.. Wilkes views
on foreign relations. The enthusi-
astic response OF the crowd reflect 4

liquor through local agents

|of liquor through local agents,
political or otherwise. All such
purchases of liquor should be
made directly from the manu-
facturer or importer, and thus
the State will thave the great
benefit of the saving that will
be effected by such a policy.
We believe that stringent laws
should be enacted and rigidly
enforced to prevent any liquor
manufacturer, liquor importer,
or wholesaler from making any
contribution, direct of indirect,
to any political party or to fur
ther any political activity. We
are opposed to the indiscrimi-
nate and non-selective licensing
for the sale of beer and we be-
lieve that vigilant care should
be had to revoke an licenses that
may have been issued to UNI
worthy persons.
To that end we advocate that
no beer license be issued or con-
tinued in any municipality with
out approval of municipal au-
thorities or outside of a NUM-
cipality without the approval
of the country court.
WaterpOwer
This state has suffered direct
ly and seriously from develop
ment of the New River water
power program. Millions OF
tons of West Virginia coal have
been displaced. Operators, min
ers, railroads and railway work
crs alike have been penalized
Expansion of this program is a
definite threat to our great basic
industry. We oppose its further
extension and pledge our candi
dates to work for its curtail'
ment when elected to office.
Protective Tariff
West Virginia, AN importan
thinning, agricultural and manu-
featuring state, has a vita
stake in preservation of the A
merican markets for American
producers. 1t has felt the i'm
pact Of New Deal trading in dc
lpleted markets, curtailed pro
duction and lost jobs. 1t has seer
| its coal displaced by imported

fuel oil. 1t has suffered the in
vasion of underselling foreign
manufacturers, with conse-
Quent shrinkage of buying power
for its farm products; all this
as a result of an ill-advised at
tempt to trade off the ninety.
per cent home market for the
ten per cent foreign market.
This condition can be correct
ed only through the election of
n Republican Congress which
will restore the protective tariff.
1t Is particularly important,
therefore, that we send to

interest necessities his repres-
entation on all boards, commit
tees and governmental agencies,
including membership upon the
Boards of Education in counties
having sufficient Negro popula-
ton to require a colored re-
preventative for the Negro
schools of such counties.
We therefore pledge our sup
port to these policies.
Labor and Capital
Labor and capital are equal
ly interested in the immediate
removal of the shackles placed
upon them by the New Deal.
To secure a sound, lasting and
permanent peace between CAPT
tai and labor, and to secure
stable business and a prosper
Gus people, we advocate more
cooperation and less conflict in
industry.
We assert that every person
who earns Il living by labor has
the right to collectively bar
gain" for the sale of his labor !;
has the right to be granted II
safe place to work, sanitary sur
roundings, and decent place
to live; and, has the right to
have good schools and recrea-
tionor himself and family. He
is also entitled to a saving wage
that fits the standard of living
of our nation.
We also assert that every
person, who is engaged in bust
ness and industry, is entitled to
safety and protection in the use
of his property from sabotage,
misuse, and destruction. He is
also entitled to fair and reason
able return on his investment
and a reasonable rate of taxa,
ton. Both capital and labor are
entitled to equal protection oil
and under the law.
The American opportunity
for an employee of today to be
come the employer of tomorrow
MUST be preserved.
Agriculture
We affirm the position taker
by us in our platform of 1886
an, accordingly pledge our sup
port to the State Department of
AgricuItur, the Agricultural Elk
pertinent Station, the College of
Agriculture, the Extension Di-
vision, and all allied agencies for
greater service to farmers and
aso to the development of poll
els that will bring about a great
er use of West Virginia's farm
products in w. Virginia homes.
We further pledge that, if
ditribution of farm products be
necessary in the administra-
tion of relief so far as practic-
able, such products shall be
purchased from West Virginia
farmers and shall not be pur.
chased i'm and imported from
other states.
