Editors win Boost Their Bin.

Denver.-The executive and cam,
paign committees of the Colorado
State Editorial Association have out.
lined a vigorous campaign for the pur
pose of securing. the adoption of the
proposed law to reduce the cost OF
printing constitutional amendments
and initiated and referred bills. This
proposed law will appear on the ballot
in position seven in the list of bills
submitted for adoption or rejection.
1t reduces the number of publications
from, in one newspaper for four con-
secutive weeks in each county, to one
publication in two papers of opposite
political faith in each county.
The campaign COMMITTEES intends to
secure the cooperation of country
publishers in a campaign of education
among the readers of the various pa
pers in the state, through advertise
ments and news stories in their pa
pers and through sersonal work be-
fore election day.
When the direct legislation prin-
ciple was before the people for adop-
ton or rejection two years ago the ex-
treme cost of publishing the proposed
measures was one OF the principal ar
guments against the enactment Of
that principle into law Under the
old plan wherein only constitutional
amendments submitted by the Legisla-
ture were advertised the cost was COM
paratively slight. Under the new plan
where all submitted measures must be
advertised the cost was considerably
increased, but the editors, realizing
that this increase would act as detri-
ment to the submission of proposed
bills, have initiated proposed amend
ment which they claim reduces the
cost to figure that cannot be reduced
through any other method of advertis-
ing

James B. Weaver.

Over the bier Of no man Of the
present day could we bow with more
reverence than over James B. Weav-
er's. In an era of sordid reaction
his name was distinguished as that
of leader in the cause Of democ-
racy, and there he remained until in
the ripeness Of his years and serv-
ice death has relieved him.
General Weaver won his military
title in a war involving the issue of
a republic all slave or all free, and
won it on the side Of freedom. But
he had both the heart to feel the
sanctity of that cause in it's later
and wider applications and the mind
to perceive the marshalling Gifts new
er and more subtle enemies through
their most attractive DISCUSSES. He
was among the first Republican in
surgents. While La Toilette was yet
at school, General Weaver was turn
ing his back upon the political party
Of his early manhood, which would
have honored him with high Office;
and was defying it's plutocratic cap
tors who would have enriched him
had he bargained with them, and who
tried to ruin him because he wouldn't
bargain. 49,.
It was as candidate of the "Green-
back" party for President that Gen.
eral Weaver, Congressman and an
able one from Iowa, came into ma
tional notice. Whoever imagines that
this leadership of his was only as a
ichip upon the current of political life,
argues himself no interpreter of pol
itical history. Do they say that Gen.
eral Weaver represented only an
ephemeral financial fad7 Be it so if
they wish to think it so, but that 'in-
ancial fad" was the first concrete
expression in American politics OF
popular revolt against the plutocracy
which had been born of the Civil
| War.
i This revolt was quelled through the
ignorance and indifference of a PEG.

General Weaver, let it here be sait
that he had the acuteness to perceiv,

: throttle plutocracy and revive democ
