Governor Adams petition charges
that certain persons are using the
disclosures made before the supreme
court as a cloak under which they
nulIify the will of the people as con-
sttutionally expressed at the polls.
The petition recites that prior to the
recent election the supreme court ap
pointed watchers named by the Re
publican organization, and that these
men were at the various polling plac-
es. Following the election of Adams,
the petition AYERS the Republicans
charged the Democrats with whole
sale frauds, and the matter was then
brought before the supreme court.
That tribunal ordered some ballot
boxes opened and experts allege that
they found hundreds of spurious bal
lots. These disclosures were follow
ed by even more extravagant claims
of fraud and exaggerated reports
were published all over the country
causing much injury to the state and
city. The petition insists that how
ever extensive the frauds perpetrated
the legal voters have a constitutional
right to have their ballots counted.
To that end the court is asked 70

Denver and scrutinize the contents.

A TRIP To ZION"

Several days ago mention was
made of the return of II. IL. Croft
from an extended eastern trip. and
especially of the fact that he had
visited Zion. the home of Alexander
Dowie, the first apostle" of the
Christian Catholic Apostolic church
in Zion.
Yesterday a more extended inter
view was had with Mr.. Croft on the
church and the wonderful man-for
he is a wonderful man, whatever his
belief-who is its sole head. While
at Zion Mr.. Croft says he did not
miss one single service of the church
that it was possible for him to at
tend. He was at baptism at which
more than thirty were baptized in
what is known as a "triune" bap-
tism. He also was present at a sac
rament. at which it required more
than 120 assistants to administer
pie partook of the wine. For this
service alone there were between
eleven and twelve gallons of unfer-
mented wine used.
Dowie, when he breaches, wears
his apostolic robes. Mr.. Croft says
that Dowie wrestled with the Lord
for twenty days before he would
consent to wear the robe, which
looks like and is modelled after those
which have been brought down to
us from history. sacred history,
as those which Elijah wore.
Dowie. 1t is said. did not want to
wear the robe at all.
Mr.. Croft says that Dowie does
not assail the other churches, but
he is not chary in calling his own
flock to account for their shortcom-
ings.
The great tabernacle in which the
main services are held will seat over
1900 people, and it is generally
filled to the last seat. In beginning
the services there is professional
and a recessional service. in which
all the church officers participate.
all of them wearing robes.
Dowies personality appealed
greatly to Mr.. Croft and he believes
that he is sincere in every word he
utters. There is nothing sacriligious
in any of the services. and Mr.. Croft
says it Is most surprising at the
wonderful influence with which Dow
lie sways his hearers. made up of
thousands of men and women of in
telligence and culture. Mr.. Croft
does not say, or at least did not say.
that he embraced the religion of
Dowie; but. to hear him talk, it
would be readily understood that
such is his ultimate intention. Mr..
Croft is a man who has searched
the scriptures He is well versed
in what is demanded of man to ex-
pect to obtain heritage on the
other side" and he is intensely in
earnest when he speaks of this new
found religion to him.

"a WHITE CHRISTMAS" :"

If there is one condition of the
weather more than another that the
average individual likes to see. it is
white" Christmas day. We had
intended to say something about the
ideal weather of Christmas in yes
terday's edition. but there was so
much other matter that 1t was
crowded out. Then again there is
saying in newspaper offices that
when you have nothing else to write
about, write about the weather. But
the snowfall of the night of Christ
mas eve and the day of Christmas
reminded us so much of the other
days of youth that we may be par
doned for drawing attention to the
fact.

have had white" Christmas day

Aside from the beauty attached to

Christmas present that anyone could

ground is well covered early. we may
feel pretty sure that IT Will perform
great service and that more will
follow.
1t was about the first real winter
weather, was the storm the days pre-
ceding Christmas and of Christmas
day. People, however. were sort of
anticipating genuine Christmas
snowfall. and they were not greatly
surprised.
Anyhow, we are glad the snow
fell, for many reasons. 1t settled the
dust, which had become deep in the
roads and which in fine clouds set
tied on everything; 1t clarified the
air, which had become dust-laden,
so that it acted as restorative to
health with all.
The snow was good.
