WANTED TO VISIT
HIS MOTHERS GRAVE

A pathetic incident occurred last
week in connection with the recent
death of Mrs. Thomas Colmer of Sill
verton, who was buried in Greenmount
beside the remains of her husband.
The baby of the family is Vincent,
lad of ID, who on account Of ex-
treme deafness and other Affections,
has been petted considerably and
shielded in every possible way by
other members of the family.
A few days ago the boy, without
saying anything to any one else, took
the money in his savings bank and
purchasing ticket with part Of the
coin, boarded the train for Durango.
1t was not until the train was well
on the way to this city, that Vincent
said in reply to questioning, that he
was going over to his mothers grave
in Durango, to die.
When the train reached town, the
boy was sent to friends at the Roch-
ester hotel and the family in Silver
ton notified Of his whereabouts. La
ter he was taken to the cemetery and
after visiting his mothers grave, went
back to Silverton contentedly enough
the next morning. Before the train
pulled out from the Durango depot
he said he was satisfied now.
Just what was his reason for want-
ing to make the trip is puzzling, but
at least he has ceased to grieve so
deeply or so constantly as in those
first days after the funeral.

STATE LEGAL DEPARTMENT
Denver, Colo, April Is, 1912.
Mrs. Rosepha Pulford,
County Superintendent of Schools,
Durango, Colo.
Dear Madam:
Some time ago, when you were in
the office, believe you asked for a
copy of the opinion with reference to
the Fort Lewis school, when the same
was rendered. / have this day for
warded the opinion to the state treas
urer and enclose copy herewith.
1t is with regret that I feel con-
strained to render this opinion, not
only on account of the immediate ur
gency Of your situation with refer
ence to the Fort Lewis school, but
also on account of the fact that the
Grand Junction school in my own
county (Mesa) is quite as much in
terested as your district in the matter
of classification.
However, am unable conscienti-
ously to construe the law any differ
emily, and believe that if any other
classification should be adopted than
the one heretofore adopted, it should
be by court decision, and not upon the
opinion Of this office.
If any of the commercial associa-
tions interested has any regularly re-
tanned lawyer, shall be pleased to
have him look over this opinion, so
that he may see the legal grounds
upon which it is founded.
Very sincerely yours,
BEN GRIFFITH,
Attorney General.

1t is summer when the emperor says
II Is summer. As soon as the emperor
declares that summer has come every

LENT AND PENlTENTIAL WORKS
Extracts from a Recent Sermon by
Rev. c. &. Provost.


Rev. c. E. Provost.
Rev. Charles e. Provost, pastor of
the church OF the Sacred Heart, on
Sunday last delivered a sermon on
Lent and Penitential Works" from
which the following extracts are
made:
Christ our model: "And when He
had tasted forty days and forty
nights, he was afterwards hungry.
Matt w 2" Our Savior fasts as man.
The Divinity of the Goldman did not
prevent Him from feeling the pains
and inconvenience arising from his
tenance. He fasts as one charged with
lusterities and long privation of sus-
the expiation of the sins of men
Practice Of peanence is of the most
Imperative obligation. The life OF
Christ, from its commencement to Us
close. was a continued series OF bri-
vation and suffering.
But not content with setting the ex.
ample, He has enforced the doctrine
Of the cross by repeated precepts.
He that would come let him deny
himself and take up his cross and fol
low me. Take heed to yourselves,
lest your hearts be overcome with
gluttony and drunkenness. Unless
yod do penance. you shall all likewise
perish.
The name Christian, as defined by
rertullian. is "One born to penance;"
and indeed by assuming the name of
Christian and followers of Christ, no
duty can be more evident In all
walks Of life. the practice of penance
and self-denial, is OF the first neces-
sity, or your ruin is inevitable If
the Lord be your God follow i'm, but
If Baal, then follow him.
Our holy book, 3 Kings q, q and

solute of the kings Of Israel, Achab.
Prophet Elias tells him that by his muir
ders and denominations. he has
brought ruin on himself and his
house He is rejected for his iniqui.
ties and doomed to a complete destruc.
ton and determination OF his genera.

these words, he rent his garments and

lie opinion. II in any state the legis-
lature is not responsive to the pop
ular will Mr. Roosevelt would pro-
vide for the initiative and the refer
endum, and he would have this posi-
bility provided for by law.
In addition to the foregoing Mr.
Roosevelt's political creed as now
enunciated may be stated to include
the following:
Belief in a pure democracy, when
representative democracy ceases to
represent the people
Belief in constitutionalism but not
so restricted as to prevent actual
self rule by the people.
Belief in the election OF United
States judges by direct vote.
Belief in direct nominations by the
people.
Belief in the selection of delegates
to the national conventions.
Belief in compensation for disabled
workingmen.
Belief in the absolute maintenance
Of property rights.
This must be regarded on the
whole as commendable creed indie
pendent of ones personal preference
for the presidential nomination, but
there are points here and there to
which many people will take excep-
tons, and this is particularly true re-
garding any change from the consti-
tutional methods of electing United

CHARGES BROKEN FAITH
La Toilette Manager Says Roosevelt
Asked Senator to Run

Portland, Ore, Feb. 2S.-Walter
Houser, chairman of the National La
Toilette committee, broke the long
silence of the ultra progressives here
today. Houser came out with an in
terview in which he charged that Col
Roosevelt had broken faith with La
Toilette, had pulled wires to win part
of the Wisconsin mans support after
it was seen La Toilette could capture
Ohio, and had stolen La Follette's
thunder by means of which he rather
more than intimated were unfair.
Houser said:
Roosevelt and other progressives
urged La Toilette to enter the cam
paign as the progressive candidate.
He sent his message of earnest sohc-
itation to La Toilette through ellison
Gardner, a Washington correspondent
but when La Follette's enemies saw
that La Toilette could carry Ohio they
injected Roosevelt into the fight.
Roosevelt is not a true progressive,
and if the progressives split and Taft
is nominated they can blame Roose-

After an illness covering a period
of several weeks Mr.. John Vincent's
life closed at Moscow on Thursday
December S, 1912. at the age of
sixty years nine months, and twenty
eight days. The cause of the de-
mise was general breaking down of
the system, fastened by his advanced
age that of sixty years. He was
born in Germany February 7th,
1852. AT the age of eighteen he
immigrated to the United States and
after living in various places he
finally located in Nezperce county
near Leland where he was united in
marriage to Emma Woodard in 1885
who acceeded him in death. He
and his wife endured many hard
ships incident to pioneer life, but
lived to see the unbroken soil of the
Potlatch ridge transformed into
rich farming country. To this union
nine children were born. of whom
eight still survive. On August 81,

Amanda F. Raines who still survives
him. Interment was made in the
