Congregationalists Meet

The Western Association of
Congregational churches held
their annual meeting with the
+locai church here this week. Tues
day. Wednesday and Thursday.
The sessions were all held in the
Friends church, and were quite
generally attended by the people
of our community. All of the
most important churches of the
Western Slope were represented
by pastor and delegates. except
those so remote in their location
that IT was quite impossible for
representatives to come at all
conveniently. The ministerial
members of the Association pres
ent were. Rev. w. II. Hopkins of
Denver. state superintendent of
Home Mission work. Rev. A. s.
Bush of Denver. superintendent
of Congregational Sunday school
work in Colorado and Utah. Rev.
G. A. Munroe. pastor of the
church at Grand Junction. Rev.
F. A. Ziekatoose. pastor at Mont
rose. Rev. James F. Walker, pas
tor at Redvale, and in fact of the
entire territory known as the Lily
lands, Rev. ]. A. Becker. of Mont
rose. and as corresponding men,
Der Rev. Brooks of Redcliffc and
Rev. Glenn Stewart of Chicago.
One of the pleasant features
of the Association. aside from the
actual business and fellowship,
was the trip to the mesas, Thurs
day morning. Five carriage loads
of delegates went out on the
mesas, and returned with nothing
but expressions of praise and ad-
miration for our beautiful homes
and orchards.
The de legates all left in a body
this morning, and were unanimous
in their thanks for their royal en-
tertainment in Paonia homes, and
most courteous treatment by all
with whom they came in contact.
The Association especially wished d
that their appreciation of the
kindness and hospitality of the
Friends church be publicly ex-
pressed.

LIVE POLITICAL ISSUES
STRIKE THEM ALL ALIKE
Public Sentiment Practically Unanimous in
Favor Of Carrying out Platform Pledges

Inc following editorial from
the Grand Junction News shows
how the situation looks to a re-
publican. Some of the facts
stated are commended to the
consideration of certain demo-
Gratis:
The voting strength of the
Union Labor organizations affili-
ated with the Federation of Labor
of Colorado is estimated by con-
servative politicians to be close to
10000 ballots.
The voting strength of the
Farmers Union and its affiliated
order. the Knights of Industry. is
declared to be over 10000 in Col
orado by its state officials.
Both of these great and power
full organizations arc pledged to
support and fight for direct legis-
lation.
The union laborer and the
farmer have joined hands in Col
orado in a mighty demand that
the Legislature give to the people
of Colorado constitutional
amendment calling for the initia.
tive and referendum and that the
Legislature pass an effective
direct primary law-and no pri-
mary lac is an effective direct
primary Law that has = conven-
tion clause-and the headless
ballot act.
In the face Of this tremendous
demand what is the republican
party gong to dor
The extra session is coming.
The votes of six republican state
senators must be had to carry the
constitutional amendments pro-
viding tor the initiative and ref
ercndum. The votes of these
senators are also needed for the
passage of the direct primary law
and the headlcss ballet act.
Those votes must be secured.
The people arc not in mood for
parley or for excuse or for tolcra'
ton or a straddle. They likewise
give not a hoot whether the bills
so introduced are from republi-
can or democratic sources. Both
parties have declared for these
things and the people are de-
manding them. If the bills in
troduced provided for effective
laws the duty of the republican
senators and representatives is to
vote for them.
Only the most bone-headed
politician OF the past generation
will object such policy in view of
the widespread public demand
tor the enactment of these mea-
sures. The allegedly practical
politician with a boiled owl eX-
preston OF counterfeit wisdom and
with brain capacity of peaked
pimple may howl that such a
policy would rebound only to the
credit of Shafroth but If Shafroth
gain some slight and heeting
popularity-and it would be both
slight and fleeting-yet it would
be as nothing compared to the
disaster that will surely overtake c
the republicans unless they sup
port and fight for honest direct
legislation in Colorado.
In this connection we refer to a

publican organ of power in this
state. 1t reads as follows:
The origin and principles of
the republican party should al
ways keep it the strong. progres
sive, popular party in American
politics.
OF course the selfish kings of
finance desire to own and operate
every political party for their
own errichment-the corporate

by the other two and who can
only operate through machine
methods. is eternally at work to
be the Man on Horseback" in
every political party in our be-
loved country.
The operations of this trio are
not confined to any one political
party and never will be 80 con-
fined.
For somc years they have gen.
orally owsed the demoratie party
IN the eommunisies where Il was
dominant and the republican
party IN communities in which il
was dominant.
Nationally they have their grip
upon both organizations.
These are such we'll know facts
that it would be idle to re-offer
the proof with which every voter
is familiar.
But over the entire country
there is sweeping wave OF reform
which is bound to swamp forever
this three-headcd monster of
America political life. and in this
reform movement I'm almost
every state of the middle west.
the republican party. true to its
glorious origin and history. has
taken the lead.
What will be the course of the
republican party in Colorador
Will it continue to follow the
riple-headed monster to constant
defeats in the future. or will il
justify its existence by reaffirming
the principles of 1850 and offer
ing battle against oppression in
every form and in favor of the rule
of the people everywherel
II the latter course is to be
pursued the party must imme-
diately drop the leadership of the
Buorbons. the Reactionarics. the
Corporate Dictators, and must
fearlessly enlist under the banner
of the people for the principle of
free government demanded by
the people.

make the great republican party
of Colorado an annex to the

as was attempted IN the recent

DUSKY CHIEF SHINES
 IN LONDON SOCIETY

London society has found a new lion in a Maori chieftain named Ranginia. whose native songs, taken from the old Maori legends and sung in a minor key are proving a weird attraction in fashi6nable drawing rooms. With his long dark hair and bizarre robes this dusky New Zealand chief presents a picturesque figure. Sometimes he will appear in a strange flowing robe of flax and at other times he dons a loose garment of royal blue embroid4 cred with gold.
 It was during the visit Of the Prince end Princess of Wales to New Zea- land that he gained their friendship, and this gave him the entry into Lon don society. His voice, a light tenor, has melancholy bell-like ring in it never heard in European voices. In his own country Ranginia is lord over f,000 Maori people.
 Sometimes he appears on the plat form in the full barbaric panoply of a Maori warrior. He carries a huge spear. waving his free hand in an undulating motion in time with the singing. A fascinating exhibition is his dancing of the Te Roy, a native perforrnance in which the Prince of Wales took great. interest when it was enacted by 1000 men.-New York Sun.

"LITTLE JOKER, VS. PUBLICITY.

When the corporate income tax was so urgently advocated by President Taft, the argument was not merely that the Federal treasury badly needed the money, but also that publicity of thc sworn capitalization, assets, lia- bilities, etc, of the corporations would prove valuable to investors, affordlng them actual and reliable first-hand, in- side information as to the real value of securities a point jealously screened from the public by corporate manag- CTS who much too often. use their exclusive knowledge in Wall Street speculation Publicity was also, it was said, to serve the useful purpose of uncovering to the gaze of assessors taxable assets hitherto concealed and taxes upon which have been success fully lodged for many years, to the grave disadvantage of taxpayers whose assets are visible and who have hitherto paid more than their rightful shares of taxation.
 Of course the Corporations objected strongly to such publicity and have been beseiging the Administration and Congress for escape therefrom: they professed only a desire to have com Tetitors prevented from obtaining damaging knowledge of their inside workings. In reality. the corporations whose shares appear in stock market quotations, desired to continue the publics ignorance of their affairs, which has been great source of profit to their managers in Wall Street. Others probably desired principally to continue the lodging of local taxes upon considerable parts of their as- sets
 President Taft has discovered a means of meeting the wishes of the speculatively managed and tax-dodg- ing corporations. It is the little joker usually in some form found in Congressional acts affecting corporate interests. Congress, it seems, appro- priated for collection of the corporate income tax, and not for publicity of corporate returns, and unless Con- gress now appropriates s5o,OOO. these returns must be kept inviolate in the secret archives of the Treasury De- portment. Strange, is it not. that with departmental forces swel1ed to mammoth proportions, enough clerks to index these records cannot be as- signed to that work? Congress will not make the appropriation asked for, and the Treasury Department clerks are so busy in winding and unwinding red tape" that they cannot give pub licity to. the returns without a special appropriation.

BUSINESS MEN TO
 HEAR BLAIR TALK
1.-THE WHIRR OF THE NEWS PAPER PRESS" TO BE HIS
 STJRJECT

At the monthly meeting of the Bus mess Mems Association at The Strat- field, Thursday evening, Feb. 24th at o'clock, an address on ''The whirr of fthe Newspaper Press will be deliv- cred by Albert L. Blair of Brooklyn. He comes here on the recommendation of several members who have heard him and pronounce his talk remark ably interesting and delivered in a most engaging manner. The meeting will be free to members and their friends.
 Albert L. Blair is well fitted to talk upon the subject of newspaper makers, for he has spent his life amid the roar of presses and click of type. He is bright, witty and entertaining, and possesses the ability to turn phrase in a most interesting and unexpected way.
 In referring to the numerous remark able improvements in the mechanical he says: 'When one watches a mann moth Hoe press turning out say 96 900 printed papers in an hour he may feel that perfection cannot well any farther go Yet some invention may in tWen- ty-five years sweep all the idols of the press room to the scrap heap. A Brooklyn genius has gone to printing g with the x-ray. Who knows but that in a short time that magic pencil will have revolutionized the method of peo- bling the virgin page with messages of informaticn?'
 What is a newspaper?" asked MT. Blair, and then he answered it by saying: Put the accent on the first sylla ble of the word and you have a f1ash-light definition. It is a vehicle for the conveyance of information about currents events It is (to change the figure) literature that is born in day, and so far as the public in- terest is concerned perishes in a day. It is history written by hundreds of thousands of pens, driven by amateurs, by professional; by novices, by vet erans, by cobblers, by experts, by mediocrity, by genius, by fakirs, by truth-te -tellers, by the man with the wolf of famine at the door, by the gentlemen with plutocratic leisure; by the mental bum, by the intellectual emperor.
 In the newspaper, idiots full of sound and. fury, and arm-locked with slob- bering rhetoric, tell their tale by the side of the philosophical Plates and the gifted Maca ulays. No experience, no degree of capacity, no variety of mo- tives are absent from that marvellous workshop whence emanates the news paper I know of no other agency so constantly reflects the conditions, the progress, the aims, the achievements and the hopes of the race as the News paper"

Children Cry
 FOR FLETCHER'S C A s T Q RIA AUSTRIAN SMUGdLERS
 CAUGHT IN RUSE
Especial from United Press ,


 Bergenz, Austria, Feb. 1S.-Seven men are under arrest here today charged with smuggling saccharin in- to Austria from Switzerland by the cleverest ruse the customs officials have yet unearthed.
 When the Geneva Munich express arrived here, the station master had a coach containing seven travellers uncoupled from the train and held for detention. A telegram from Zu- rich had warned him that the men were smugglers.
 After an exhaustive search the of- f1cials failed to find any contra brand and were about to apologize to the men when one inspector accidentally kicked hot water pipe in a first class compartment Then the secret was out.
 All the hot water pipes in the car riage were in duplicate, differing in no outward detail, but one set was of metal and the other of papier-mache. The latter were all filled with sac charin which is about nine times as expensive in Austria as in Switzer- land.
