"Before people had any heart-filling sense that America vas beautiful, she was recognized under many other as pects. For the Spanish explorers she was El Dorado, rich in gold, jewels and spices. She was Christ's Kingdom for the Pilgrims. For the Adamses, for Washington, she waa Republican Home restored and stocked with Pluturchian heroes. For English and French revolutionists at the end of the eighteenth century, she was Utopia, Arcady, and the Garden of Eden. For one chorus she is the land of the free and the home of the brave. For another, she : the land of slaves and yokels and Babbitts. America re fuses to be put; she is constantly being discovered and l(-st again' In these words, Stuart P. Sherman, authority on Ameri can traditions, adds some light on that very moot question, "What is America?" That such a question arises in the mind of the public is not surprising in view of the many and diverse descriptions applied to the country by its for eign visitors and its own citizens. i In the. final. analysis, isn't America all ol thosii thinjjs Which its critics charge it to be? That is, America- is just what the individual desires it to be. It is the world's greatest department store where every human desire us supplied. Unfortunately, the world does not desire as one io that which is desired by some is undesirable to other. I In such a Babel of human wants it behooves those whoe. wishes are gratified not to deny the wishes of others. Two Colorado mount nlns urn moving. One linn moved luO few.

An opposite view was express ed by a local circus man. who uid lie "believed the publication of crime news is helpful. und 1 hat the "greatest correction of crime is the publicity given it by news papers.'

In their anxiety for pcimnnrnt peace the world over mine of the more aident. pacifists have none to the ex treme of openly favoiiug the h.tltmjr of those lines of science and invention which serve the ends of war. Kor these rea sons there i uppviriition to the dvclopmool of aircraft mi even trhemieal research. Thus would some deny humanity the necessary imple ments of peace for fear that humanity miht sometime use them for war. They would obstruct progress to stop wai , apparently not iealiinp; that there were wars before ther- was powder and cannon. They may be prompted by a dread that further development of aircraft and chemical research may make the wars in the future more terrible than tho.;e jii the past. ' This debate has i par.iMel in the history ol the educa tion of the masses and of free speech and free thought. For many centimes chinch and state mailed the minds and' tongues of the multitudes on the pretense that too much Jinowledtfe was a dangerous thiny;.
