Hold Services in Their New Church
The Free Methodist people held
their first service in their new church
Sunday. They have shown q fine
spirit of progression under the minis
trations of Rev. Mr.. Austin, and having
oulgrown the small edifce whioh they
have used for a church several years
they cast around for something more
commodious and better suited for the
size OF the congregation. A church
building out at Mt. Vernon was pur-
chased and moved here with the aid of
two large threshing machine engines
and placed on the south side. AL
though the pastor of the church is
blind be succeeds in his work admira-
bly, and has the strong assistance of the
membership behind him.

With the rate OF taxation in the
city at 3IH mills, the public should
receive vastly more benefits than
they do. Tit is impossible with two
teams and one man to adequately
sprinkle the main thoroughfare Of
the city, if council will grant the
use of the team and the sprinkling
cart to a committee OF responsible
citizens, the aforesaid citizens will
guar antee to furnish driver at no
cost to the city. If this privilege is
granted The Sentinel will guarantee
to demonstrate that the whole OF
Main street will be thoroughly

LEE & BUNTING, Proprietors.

AS the days pass by Colorado
people will be more and more
ashamed Of the character Of the
punishment meted out to Preston
Porter. The atrocity of the punish>
ment almost equals the crime. In
our judgment the satisfaction over
the barbarous death of Porter felt
by Robert Frost, the father of the
little girl, will be succeeded by days
of miserable regret. Colorado, al
ready suffering the stigma OF
Waites' fanaticism can lily afford
to add this last crime to make it a
state looked upon and regarded as
semi civilized community.

Several years ago the question
was agjtated whether it would not
be a wise move to have the day as
well as the night marshal serve at
night. There is absolutely nothing
for the day marshal to do during
the day time and his services at
night would be an additional pro-
lection to the city. One man is
hardly adequate to p troll the busi-
ness and residence section Of the
city at night. Council could order
that such change be made for this
time of the year at least, when dam
ger Of burglaries, fires and other
crimes is increased, as it usually is
during the winter period.

If Edward Oliver Wolcott can
remain away from east a sufficient
length OF time and sit and work
within the shadow of the giant
mountains, where liberty has al
WAYS found its birth, he may re-
imbibe those sentiments for the
cause OF silver which brought him
to the fore in his own state and in
the nation. The influences of the
effete east robbed him OF his nerve
and patriotism, made OF him
pampered pet, taught him he was
invincible and planted within him
the seeds which brought calamity
and political decay. The atmos-

A cordial invitation is extended
to the street and alley committee

would be good idea to have the

them. The condition OF Grand

upon electing men to office, whose
only Recommendation is that they

The democrats can no more
afford to go it alone in the organs
zation of the legislature than they
could have done in the late election.
The allied silver forces OF Colorado
won the victory which dethroned
Wolcott and the allied forces should
organize the legislature. The cleo
ton of senator to succeed VOL
colt is not the paramount issue for
democracy. The paramount issue
to the silver forces is to maintain a
silver majority and supremacy in
the state. If the democracy should
go bull-headed into the legislature
bent upon separate and distinct
democratic organization, it will be
at the cost OF a silver victory two
wears hence. We have our choice
for United States senator and he is
democrat, but we cannot think
that because we have such choice
we should accede to any movement
which would imperil silver suprem>
acy in Colorado, for years to come.
The democratic leaders, who are
ambitious, may have other views,
but the judgment of the rank and
file is that all the silver forces who
were responsible for the election of
a majority Of democrats who will
take their seats in house and senate,
is to permit all to unite IN the l5gis>
lative organization.

The paper trust is getting in its
fine work again. There was a
slight reduction on print paper pre-
ceding the election, but that is all
off now and paper is steadily rising.
If only those would suffer who sup
ported the trust administration, we
would be glad to have them take
their medicine, but those opposed
to trusts suffer likewise. II Mark
Hanna was buying paper stock at
the present time, he would change
his mind about there being no
trusts. But Mark Hanna cares lit
tie about the price of paper, he is
watching the complexion and the
morality of the men who will cons
pose the new congress to see what
it will cost to insure the passage OF
the Hanna-Payne ship subsidy bill.

Gus Hanna for money and time
spent in tine late canvass.

sentiments expressed just previous
to his last senatorial election.
Stranger things than the regenera>
ton OF E. o. Wolcott have occur
red, and there is yet hope for him,
if taken just now at the period OF
his Christening. For the truth is
that never more bitter blow leveled
a man, than was Wolcott leveled in
this late election.

One of the elements which has
made the public schools of this city

Lingo for the current year, and audit
the accounts of Clerk Q. W. Kenney of

the accounts of Secretary of State
James HI. Hughes for State taxes and
other moneys received by him. This

poratlon fees and taxes on concerns
chartered under the new law will have
to be estimated and inquired into.

is the proper one fof vessels in Phila-

of William W. Bowiser, owner of the

which Judge Mcpherson entered de-
cree in favor of the libeant for 1914. %
for towing the bark fiom the Delaware
