Icommoniy accepted opinion is. that in- stead of finding the old, divinely-ap- pointed paths which never failed to lead to the largest possible prosperity. Israel conferred with flesh and blood.
 They discarded the theocratic for the
 monarchicai form of government. de-
 termining to have king. like the sur l rounding nations.
 The other view is, that the time waS wholly ripe for monarchy. 4 king was indispensable for unity and leadership. The very fact that. while monarchy was urged there was no candidate for the crown. proves that personal ambi- ton was not the impelling cause of this request. The voice of tho people was the voice of God. all apparent dis- cord to the contrary notwithstanding. Samuel was the Cavour of Canaan in this crisis. whatever view maintains. Ho effected this bioodiess revolution with the hand of a master statesman. He faithfully warned Israel of the dam gers of monarchy and uncovered the sfnfulness of the spirit in which the political change had been demanded. He announced the constitutional iimi-
 tations under which the king might
 reign and made them matter of public
 record. Having prepared the success
 sive steps with consummate skill, he stepped aside for his successor to the
 first power of the State with dignity and grace. magnanimity and courtesy unsurpassed. An historic parallel is found in Washington's Farewell to the American People" There were times in the careers of both Washing ton and Samuel when they might have easily made themselves possessors of ''that golden rim within which lies Elysiun." But both scorn selfish ends and thus made themselves immemor- ial models of lofty patriotism.

 Samuel joins Moses in being a seer of
 the Invisible. Most men require oc-
 ulAr demonstration. Few, indeed, are those who realize that, in the final an- alysis, the unseen is the only real and permanent.

Samuel suffers that imputation of almost insincere vacilation which fs placed upon a man in public life who Is great enough to radically change his views. He believed in the theo- cratic government. but when he found the people unequal to the high Ideal, he sacrificed his personal convictions and honors to give his age the best is was flt for.

LIFE
LAST NIGHT
John Taylor, Who Was Convicted Of Wfes Murder, Hang
ed Himself in Genwood Jal---Had Begged
for Death Sentence

After having been tried twice for
the murder of his wife, one in the
Aspen courts where the jury could
not agree and once in the Glenwood
Springs court where he was found
guilty or murder in the second de-
gree, and was sentenced to not less
than 20 nor more than 35 years in
the state prison, although he begged
the court to sentence him to the gal
lows. John l.. Taylor, had his desire
to die fulfilled.
Last night the wretched man
hanged himself in his cell in the
Glenwood Springs Jail, and thus was
written the final chapter in one of
the most sensational murder cases
that ever held the attention of west
ern Colorado.
Late yesterday afternoon Taylor
stood before Judge Shumate and
heard the sentence pronounced. His
old parents and other relatives sat
near him. He was then taken from
the court room to the jail. He was
shaken with emotion. At the Jail
door his aged parents and sister told
him goodbye and the scene was most
affecting. He was then taken to his
cell.
1t seems that last night the jailer
failed to lock the prisoners separate
ly in their cells. All cell doors were
left open on the corridor.
Al ! 1 pm. the jailer made a round
of the Jail and found everything qui-
ct and peaceful. The prisoners were
evidently sleeping. Shortly after
midnight one of the prisoners got
up to get drink. and. as he walked
along the corridor he came into con-
tact with the swaying body of man.
He called the jailer. A light was
provided.
Suspended by the neck from the
top beam of his cell door was John
l.. Taylor. The body was warm but
the man was dead. The coroner was
called and the body was cut down.
1t was found that Taylor had torn
off a cord which was bound around
The edge of his mattress. He had
thrown one eifd of this over the beam
of the door and had tied 1t there.
rhen he made a moose for his neck.
In order to keep his feet from touch
ing the floor the man had to draw
them up under his body and so held
them uptil he lost consciousness. The
man had evidently been hanging
about an hour when the body was
discovered shortly before 1890 am.
There was no note left in the cell
by the man regarding his determin-
alton to kill himself. As far as is
known he had made this determine
tion known to no one.

Butte, Mont, Apr. 24.-Lack of
nerve at the critical moment caused
the failure of a desperate attempt
last evening to hold up the west
bound North Coast Limited on the
Northern Pacific at a point 2 miles
west of Welch's spur and IL miles
east of Butte, where the same train
was held up once before. at which
time Engineer Glow was killed.
Rudolph Wenk, Paul Filenius and
AL Teasdel have been arrested for
completely in last nights affair and
are now in Jail here.
Teasdel was found in the vicinity
of the attempted holdup.
Wenk and Filenius admit having
participated in the tagging of the
train, claiming. however. that they
were forced to do the act by two
armed and masked desperadoes, who,
when the train stopped, lost their
courage and made a quick getaway.
Wenk and Filenius, who are Ger
mans and speak only broken Eng
linsh, declare that the bandits had
80 sticks of dynamite and had been
planning to blow up a portion of the
train if necessary to secure the mon
ey that was supposed to be aboard.
A stick of dynamite was found on
top of low bluff at the point where
the train was stopped.
What were supposed by the train
men to be the reports of torpedoes
placed on the track were shots fired
at the engineer by the two bandits,
according to the story of the Ger
mans.

TAYLOR BEGGED COURT
TO GIVE DEATH PENALTY

Yesterdays Glenwood Post says:
After listening to arguments on
technical phases of the case, Judge
Shumate of the district court this
afternoon, sentenced John l.. Tay-
lor to not less than 20 nor more than
:s5 years in the penitentiary.
Taylor begged the court to infiict
| the death penalty rather than the
| longtime sentence.
| Either I did or did not commit
the crime. / would rather have the
death sentence"
Before passing sentence the court
i stated that he had gone into the au-
thorities quoted by defendants coun-
sci while arguing motion for a new
trial which was overruled, quite
thoroughly, and had sat up late at
night and studied during recesses in
order that no mistake might be made.
Asked if he had anything to say
before sentence was passed., Taylor
said:
Yes, I have. ! was raised to be
man. | am not guilty of the charge.
but | wish your honor would make it
as light as possible
Judge Rucker, one of the counsel
for the defense, asked that the SEN
tence be made as light as possible in
view of the circumstances surround
ing the case. Sentence was then
passed.
Among those in the court room
were Taylor's aged parents, and the
sobs of his mother were the only
sounds that broke the stiffness when
the court had finished speaking. Dur
ing the two hours of argument he
held his little boy in his arms and
the presence of the child was ac-
knowledged by the court, who said
it was a powerful influence for leui-
ency in Taylor's behalf

ATTEMPTS
TO RUIN
PLANT
(By Associated Press.)

(By Associated Press)
Milwaukee, Wis, Apr. 24.-The
Sentinel today says:
desperate effort was made early
"Wednesday morning to destroy the
Allis-Chalmers plant at West Allis.
All that saved the big plant from
a heavy loss was the automatic
sprinkler equipment which extin-
guished the flames before they had
gained much headway.
The attack was directed at the
pattern shop, the most vital part of
the plant, as, If the patterns were de-
stroyed, all work would have to stop
until others were prepared.
The determination of those back
of the plot is shown by the fact that
they had with them a dozen 1-gallon
cans of gasoline which they brought
to the plant in three telescope wallis
es. From the appearance of the
shop it seems that premature ex-
plosion of the gasoline had scared
the wreckers away before their prep
arations were completed.
