OBITUARY

Elanor Boston, known to most OF
US as "Aunt Ellen" the eldest daugh-
ter OF william and Mary Boston, was
born at FrederIcktown, Fredrick
county, Maryland. on the 10Th day OF
September, 1926, and died at Ordway,
Colorado, Sunday, June IS, 1911. at
lO:I5 O'Clock In the evening; being
thus at the advanced age Of "a years,
8 months and l5 days.
The father and mother, three bro
thers, Bazel. Joshua, and Israel; and
one sister, Harriet, besides two, who
died In Infancy. have preceded her to
the Great Beyond" The remaining
brother, Andrew, with whom she lived
for ten years previous to her coming

ter, Minerva. Is an inmate Of an Old
Ladies Home 10 Ohio; and we are all
well acquainted with that sister, who
for twelve years has so tenderly cared
for the deceased. Mrs. Sarah Roberts.
"Aunt Ellen" never saw the light Of
day, being blind from birth.
At the age Of eight years, she re-
moved with her parents to Delaware
county, Ohio, where she spent seven
years In u school for the blind at Co.
lumbus, Ohio. She became a very pro-
ticient reader OF the raised type; was
ii great knitter, In fact, she was very
apt at many kinds OF household duties.
Fourteen years OF her young woman.
hood was spent In the home OF singer
and music teacher OF considerable re.
pute, Mr.. HodS McCutchen OF Ohio.
Here her aptness for music was culti-
waited and trained, and she cheerily
passed In song many an otherwise
lonely hour.
While girl In school, she became a
Christian. Her first church atiiliatiOn
was Presbyterian, which was con-
tinued until her coming to Ordway
twelve years ago, when she united
with this church Methodist EpiscopaD
OF which she has since been Il faithful
member. Among the many noble
things said Of her, we note two: viz,
"Unseltish" and "Strong for the
Right" These describe her life and
Christian integrity.
When God called her home, she was
ready, yea longing for and rejoicing in
the moment when her eyes should be
opened for eternity, and she should
see with vision undimmed and glor-
ious, as do the righteous, only.

Valuations Raised

Last week the state board OF equali-
zation met in Denver and proceeded
to raise the ante on the corporations
to the tune OF 81. 40, ,265 over the valu-
alton OF one year ago. This is only a
temporary arrangement, however, as
the corporations have Il chance to pro-
test and obtain rehearing, OF which
fact they will doubtless take advant-
aye. The following figures show the
valuation for the two periods:

know the referendum, have used ii once and want to use it again.
 Any attempt to destroy the refer endum. and to mortgage the city without consulting the voters, will meet with their resentment.
 Let us suppose that Warner, La very, King and the coroner, in pur- suit of their promise to "bond the city for all permanent improve ments' try to do it by main strength and awkwardness," that 1s' without consulting the people. This will happen.
 The coroner will wish to be elect ed again. Warner, Lavery and King will wish to be elected again.
 The last time they ran they jump ed the Socialist vote 800 per cent and skinned through with a bare plurality of 2So, over the next man, and a majority of thousands of bal lots against them.
 Fancy that plurality of 2S0 face to face with 3.6oO voters who have us- ed the referendum once and want to use it again.
 THE REFERENDUM IS SAFE.

A DIsCREDrrABLE TRICK
Bridgeport Telegram.

Bridgeport Telegram.
 A week or two before election The Telegram protested against the grow ing practice of offering candidates for the Board of Aldermen whose gener- ally good characters render them cer- tain vote getters, and then rewarding them with some paid office in order that they may resign to make room for men who would never have the slightest chance of being chosen by popular vote This is an indefensible practice which should be resented by the whole electorate. A man whose character or record will not bear the scrutiny to which all candidates for public office are subjected, has no place in politics.
 There are unpleasant rumors that this evil custom is to be extended be- yond the Common Council. There are indications that the office of city sher- if is to be one of the next points att tackled and that even the Board of Education is not to be immune from this interference with the rights and privileges of the voters. The party which lends itself to such underhand work demonstrates that it is unwor- thy of public confidence. Both the man who gives the place and the man who takes it should receive all the advertising the case demands, and the party machine which indulges in such breaches of the laws of fair play should be fully informed of the state of public opinion in regard to 1t.

AGAINST BONDING

The esteemed New Haven Union is conducting an agitation against bonding, in that city. Issues rep resenting some $85t,00O of proposed expenditures are to be voted upon in a special election, Nov. 14. The amount of debt which certain factors in the government of New Haven will create, if permitted, is about the amount which would have been created here, had the voters consented.
 But the New Haven proposals are somewhat less objectionable as to form, than the local proposals.
 The longest period provided for any issue there is 30 years. The chief Bridgeport issues were consti- tuted debt inextinguishable for 50 years.
 The Union presents excellently the arguments for the pay as you go pol icy.
 It suggests a simple method of raising money for improvements that are necessary.
 It is simply to create a one-mill tax for permanent improvements, af- ter the manner used in Bridgeport to build school houses.
 In six years this addition to the tax rate, not at all excessive, would provide a sum of money equal to that which it is proposed to raise upon mortgage, and New Haven would es- cape interest payments of almost a million.
 The Union suggests the safe, sane and intelligent way. New Haven is a rich city. It has no need to seek bond brokers to raise money for un productive things.

THE FATUOUS POLICY OF .IMPUTING
 SOCIALIST GAINS TO "LOCAL CONDITIONS

cal conditions is to betray a mental incorrigibility to the discipline of facts. only exceeded by the attitude of. balky mule which stands im- movable over a bonfire.
 The cause is general one. The malady is constitutional. The new movement is the product of grave dissatisfaction with existing social conditions, inequalities, injustices.9 vested wrongs.
 The remedy does not consist in putting on binders, nor in protesting that the cloud in the sky is not a cloud.
 The remedy does consist in a rec ognition of the conditions which create dissatisfaction. and in substi- tuting justice for injustice, If the old parties refuse to enter intelli- gently upon the work of progress they will be wiped out by the forces of change. If the old parties and the old leaders will not have EvOLU- TION they will get REVOLUTION.
 The revolution will not be by arms, but by ballots. In this country, though the people do not govern, they CAN whenever they want to. The people demand intelligent con sideration of their forming purposes at the hands of their servants. If those servants are too imbecile to get the command, they will be chucked out, neck and crop, as they ought to be.
 The old parties must spew out their crooks, kick out the beneficiaries of special privilege, give the people the benefits of public service, enact leg islation guaranteeing wage workers protection against the viscissitudes of employment and unemployment. Must follow in short, the policy of Bismarck, plus intelligent humanity and minus blood and iron.

Or must it be peremptorily admitted that pure considerations of territory make Governor Baldwin a rank inn possibility? Shall New Jersey be the potent mother of potential pres idents. and not Connecticut?
 And, one might also ask, what statesman has New Haven of half the sapiency and a quarter of the accom- plishments of Senator McNeil? The bill granting suffrage to women went through the Senate under the impulse given to it by this young ster." The direct primaries bill, product of the brain of several lead ing editors lay a dead thing for years until Senator McNeil made it living issue. Is this the ''youngster'' whose bills for the initiative and referen- dunn placed the state at least in line with the great progressive states of the union, even though the line IS perpendicular to progress and the rank of Connecticut is far in the rear. Is his advocacy of the Work ingmen's Compensation Act, the in- surance investigation, the election of County Commissioners by the people, many labor bills and his strong sup port of all of the Governors vetoes, to be forgotten But what is the use of cataloguing Senator McNeil's accomplishments?
 Enough has been shown to prove there is no possibility that young man misconstrued the silence of a venerable one. $
