GLENwooD is the prettiest and, al

GLENWOOD is the prettiest and, all
things considered, is one of the best
and most desirable towns in Colorado
in which to live. Nature has been Law
ish in her favors and furnished much
to charm and delight the eye and min
lister to tht ailments of the body. We
now have one of the best school sys-
tens in the state, including a high
school whose graduates are now admit
ted without examination to the fresh
man class of all of Colorado's state in
stitutions as well as Colorado college
and the University of Denver. This
latter condition has not long existed
and because of it, and the other condi-
tious mentioned, and others which
might be mentioned, our people should
be happy and contented. They may be
if they will be. They should be any
way.

and particularly of the great work of
reforestation, except in so far as the
public forest reservations NAV be con
cerned.
What is to be feared is that the pub
lie may conclude that the government
is to DO everything, and that apart
from the government the people are
without either individual or collective
responsibility. To the extent that this
impression may be formed both the
policy and the purpose of the govern
ment will be misunderstood.
In the last analysis, the burden of
responsibility and the obligation of
forethought rest upon the people of the
country and especially so far as the
trans Missouri region is concerned,
upon those of the Far West. This is
fully recognized by President Roose-
welt and his principal advisers, and it
should be recognized by every man who
makes his home in this part of the
country, The people should be alert TO
the urgent Importance of so conserving
all natural resources that there would
be no waste and no development of
great monOpolies tending to prevent
that competition in supplying the
wants of the public which is essential
to and the very soul of healthy growth
and progress.-Denver Republican.

THIS HAS BEEN by far the best
se;tson Glenwood has ever known, not
withstanding the forebod'ngs of few
carping critics who apparently wish
that it might have been otherwise. The
fact is, we have the natural scenic
mar, and we have a most desirable eli
mate, which, fortunately, the knockers
cannot destroy. There are yet many
things needed, chief of which are more
and better driveways and the develop
ment of some nearby attractions. The
former matter should be given atten-
tion by our town council and county
commissioners before another year,
and it is to be hoped some public spir
ited individuals, looking into the fu-
ture may see their way clear to provide
some attractive points which may be
enjoyed by future visitors, and the
Post is unselfsh enough to hope that
such may reap reasonable profit for
the time and money invested. 1t is
gratifying to know that the present
season, which is rapidly drawing to a
close so far as the heavy business is
concerned, has been so thoroughly sat
isfactory and to realize that Glen
wood s fame has so reached out to the
four corners of the earth, as 1t we, t,
that we may hope for many similarly
prosperous seasons.

The Fort Collins Courier mildly com
ments on the episode as follows:
The murder of Charles X. Lewis
at Kersey a few days ago was
deplorable affair and sentiment

in the way of melting out justice to
the murderer. Yet there is this to
say-had Lewis confined his eff

There are certain bounds of pri-
vacy beyond which newspaper
dare not venture. Lewis invaded
the family life of Simondson, and,
right or wrong, Simondson would
have been less than a man had he
failed to resent it. a newspaper

DON'T GET RATIFIED BY PROS
PERITY.

WWilliam B. Ridgley, comptroller
of the currency, finds the country to be
in most prosperous condition ana
strongly commends Secretary Cortel-
you's policy of sending money to spots
where it is most needed for moving the
crops and for legitimate business en-
terprises.
Prosperity" he says, "is proven
bially hard to stand, but there is no
sense in letting such evidences scare us
to death.'
He has touched the sore spot We
are prosperous and actually we are
getting frightened at our prosperity.
But there is no cause for alarm There
is no reason why we should overreach
ourselves. If we are developing too
rapidly, require more money than can
readily be had for pushing develop
ments, we have but to go bit slower.
Everything will come right in a little
time, is bound to settle down.
Never in its history has the country
enjoyed such wealth. Prosperity
abounds. What is the use of getting
nervous because these things are so ?

CHANGES IN CHURCH
One Department of the First consre-
gationaI Church at Grinnel Drops
Out of Existence by Change in the
Constitution.

Special to Times Republican.
| Grfnnell, Dec. 30.--The First Congre-
gational church Of this city is making
radical departure from it's time hon
ored methods of doing business. Here
tofore there have been the two separ-
ate departments, the church and the
society" the latter being an incor-
porated body holding in trust all
church property and doing all business
Of financial nature. The Church"
had no articles Of Incorporation. Mem
bers of the society We're not, neces-
sarily, members of the church. Quite
recently this has been changed, and
the church" Is now an Incorporated
body, while the society" goes out Of
existence as speedily as possible, after
more than fifty years of continuous
and practical service. Another change
that is taking place is the introduce
ton Of democratic methods in the cleo
ton of all church officers Ballots
were prepared anu given out TO all
adult members of the church, being de-
posted in boxes for that purpose
placed at the church doors, Sunday
morning, and the names so nominated
will be voted upon at the coming an
nual meeting next Friday. 1t is the
desire of the pastor, Rev. III. N. Das-
com, to thus interest the large body of
church members who are usually quite
largely passive, and secure active CO.
operation from ALL The great body of
the church seem to be in hearty SYM
pathy with these plans and the utmost
harmony prevails in the attempt to
carry them to a decisive test. The
number of trustees, which has hereto
fore been three, has been increased to
nine, and the number of deacons to
twelve. An advisory board" takes the
place Of the former standing
committee" and is composed of pastor,
clerk, six deacons, two deaconesses,
three trustees, and the Sunday school
superintendent. The last named is
also made an elective officer by the
church, under the new constitution just
adopted.
