His subject was "Individualism and Socialism." By means of a "Photographic Record of a Colorado Winter" Dr. Mc- Kay in trying to dispel the Impression very commonly held by eastern physicians that Colorado winters pre cold and accompanied by a great.ideal of snow. Certainly he presents unanswerable proof of the asserUbn that Colorado, outside of Its Mountain districts, does have a most enjoyable winter climate. This record £0ftslst8 of 78 snapshot pictures taken, one each day, from Jan. 2d to March 20th of last winter, which show In a most convincing manner tfiat with thermometer records, which in our humid climate would be productive of discomfort and suffering, especially in invalids, in Colorado is conducive to outdoor life and activities on the part of invalids, as well as Its most active citizens. Sentence will be pronounced toiuor row morning, to which time court adjourned after the jury had reported. Former Senator Mills, Gillette's counsel, before adjournment announced that when court reconvened he would move to have the verdict set aside.

Many expressed their determination to remain until morning. The buzz of conversation was continuous as people discussed the phases of the case. .Now aud then there was a stir as rumors spread that a verdict hud been reached, and every movement in the direction of the jury room was watched with intense eagerness. Dr. Schurman said the chief objection to the system of Individualism was unjust distribution of the profits of industry. He discussed the wage earners' indictment of the present system, admitted its justice, but declared that there had been such an enormous cheapening of the necessities of life which benefited all classes that society would he willing to submit to the changes rather than for sentimental reasons to forego these advantages.

The people of the east have formed their false impressions of Colorado winters largely from press dispatches of blizzards and extreme temperatures In the west, without the knowledge which Dr. McKay's photographic record furnishes. These reports, besides beinK frequently gross exaggerations In general, do not convey the exceptional climate conditions enjoyed by Colorado outside of its mountain districts. The pictures of this record show most conclusively that Colorado snow storms are not only infrequent but of such character as to constitute only a pleasant change from the almost monotonous sunshine of winter.
