CITIZENS VICTORY.

The election in Denver Tuesday
was SO overwhelmingly in favor of
the Citizens party as to leave no
doubt as to the intent of the peo-
pie to have a change in municipal
government. The victory of the Cit
liens ticket, composed about equally
of Democrats and Republicans, was
unprecedented in it's completeness.
Bvery candidate from mayor down
was elected by surprising majorities.
1t was landslide in which the two
old parties were buried deep. With
the new lineup, the Democrats have
% officials and the Republicans 16.
The decisive defeat of the old par
ties can be attributed to corporate
control and bossism of which the
rank and file have had more than a
stomach full. Those affiliated with
both the Democratic and Republican
to purify their organizations. For
twenty years the corporations head
ed by w. G. Evans, of Denver, have
had hand in the nomination of the
two old party tickets and the organ
ization of an independent movement
was the only course that offered re-
lief.
Out of it all will result the for
nation of new Democratic and Re
publican organizations. The Citizens
movement will not become statewide.
Politics outside of Denver have been
clean, and free from the corruption
prevalent in the capital city. The
Democrats and Republicans elected
on the Citizens ticket Tuesday will
be marching behind their respective
banners in the fall.

METHoDIsTs AND DANCING.

The Methodists are going to lift
the ban on dancing. Well. that win
be a good thing. 1t has been noted
and with grief-that the Methodists
don't darce so well as they might.
The Episcopalians beat them. But
seriously, that is a ban that ought
to be lifted. Many good woman, a
helpful member of the Methodist
church, has suffered pangs of con-
science because she has yielded to
the temptation, and danced, when
she knew the rules of her church
forbid it.
She knew in her heart that she
wasn't doing wrong, but she wanted
to keep the ru'es-and she wanted
to dance little, too
OF course there was a reason for
old John Wesley couldn't have made
peculiar people of the "Metho-
dies" he couldn't have worked the
reformation which he did work. And

that was needed. and that brought
benefits in it's wake. 1t came at a
time when there was need of a pro-
test against excesses in all avenues
of life. And it was effective in the
betterment of the whole Christian
world.
But times have changed Methodists
can be as direct and intense and as
good as need be-and yet conform
somewhat more to the habits of the
world. And 1t wouldn't be a bad
thing. while the general conference
is in session, for some big bishop
to get up there and tell them what
they all know to be the truth. Meth
odist ministers ought to go to the
theatre. They have lost far more than
their church has gained because Of
their having missed means of
preaching more effective than their
own.-Goodwin's Weekly.

MRS. ALICE soL,rHo DEAD.

After short illness with heart
trouble, Mrs. Alice Bolitho passed
away at her home in North Golden
Sunday night.
Mrs. Bolitho was nearly seventy
years old and had lived in Colorado
since 1870, living in Gilpin county
until the death of her husband in
1886 when she moved to Golden with
her family. Here they have since re-
sided and the two sons, William and
Samuel are in business with the Koe-
mig Mercantile company.
The only daughter, Mrs. James
Smith, lives in Denver.
The funeral was held Tuesday af-
ternoon at the residence and the body
was laid beside her husband at Bald
Mountain.
From neighbor:
Mrs. Bolitho was one of the old
and we'll known residents of Golden,
having moved here twenty-nine years
ago.
At that time the family moved here
from Bald Mountain, but soon after
locating in Golden, the father Jas.
Bolitho, died and also the eldest
daughter, Ella.
Words are altogether inadequate
to eulcgize the worth of this widow
ed mother, who for all these years
has tried to fill the double place of
father and mother to her children.
A good christian, with a big low
ing heart that embraced everyone
with malice toward none, and a love
and trust that never failed even in
the darkest hours of affliction. Mrs.
Bolitho has left a memory that will
linger with many of her contempor-
aries as long as life endures.-Golden
Globe.
