been at fault She had conceived it to
be the power that conquers and then

roots firmly in its native soil In i'm

She found them at odds The question

think it the desire" as Uncle John
called it. To her it was craving for
the understanding Of those who thought
as she instinctively thought She must
foster in Henry's mind the belief that
social recognition was only the natural
consequence of success. In her hus-
bands absence she felt herself able to
accomplish anything
She fastened her dress and pinned a
white bow at her neck, looked at herself
once more in the glass, touched her hair,

these gentlemen think about the state
schools and bankrupt state treasury
when they were initiating and referring
the 80 bills that were voted upon at the
election of 1912? No, they were simply
exercising their rights as citizens of
Colorado under the direct Legislation
provisions of the constitution and that
is no more than the petitioners for the
referring of this bill have done.
The fact of matter is that the boost
ers for this particular public utilities
measure are afraid to see their pet leg
islation submitted to vote Of abe peo-
pie. They are determined to force this
measure upon the people regardless of
the wishes Of the great mass Of the vo-
ters. They are showing by their nc
tons that they have no regard whatev.
er for the enforcement Of the correct
principles Of direct Legislation. They
have learned from their experience with
the voters Of the state in the last elec.
ton that the people sometimes do lit
tie thinking for themselves and that II
is not always safe to submit pet meas
ures to them for their approval. They
are not willing that all measures passed
by the state legislature shall be subject
to vote of the people which the prin-
ciples Of direct legislation always de-
mand.
We are not commenting on the mer.
its or demerits Of the public utilities
bill neither are we considering the mer-
its or demerits of direct Legislation but
desire to simply call attention to the
gross inconsistencies Of woul,l be re-
form leaders who have been shouting
for direct legislation one day and the
next day Matching plots to thr ottle =
free expression Of the people under de
rect legislation. There are reformers
and reformers but not every man who
shouts the loudest for reform can b
safely trusted as reformcr by the peo

Rev. Waller leaves Holyoke

Rev. W. D. Waller, who has been
pastor of the Methodist church Of Hol-
yoke for close to three and half years
has been transferred to the pastorate
Of the Methodist church of Julesburg
much to the regret of of the members
of the Methodist church and congrega-
ton in Holyoke.
1t seems that the church authorities
had slated him for Julesburg following
the next apnual conference to be held
about the first of September. The poor
health of Mrs. Dye wife of Rev. Dye
of Julesburg made it necessary that he
should leave julesburg before the close
of the conference year and take her to
lower altitude. Rev. Dye had arrang
ed'a change of pastorate with Rev. os-
borne Pastor of Harlem Place Metho-
dist Church, St. Louis, Mo. The church
authorities had consented to the trans
fer on condition that Rev Osborne take
the Holyoke pastorate and Rev. Waller
the Julesburg pastorate. The certainty
of the transfer was not known till the
close of last week and came as great
surprise to the Holyoke church.
Rev. Waller has given eminent salts
faction as pastor of the Holyoke church
and the entire church membership and
all who were accustomed to attend the
preaching services would have been
greatly pleased to know that he was to
remain in Holyokc for another year and
regret very much the necessity of his
transfer to another charge. Rev. Wal
ler has done splendid work both in the
pulpit and in the social work of the pas
torate. He'is one of the ablest minis.
ters that Holyoke has ever had and we
feel perfectly safe in saying that no a.
bier man in the pulpit has ever been
sent to northeastern Colorado. The
Methodist church of Julesburg is GER
tainly to be congratulated on securing
Rev. Waller as pastor. He and his ac-
cumplished and estimable wife will be
much missed IN Holyoke and long re-
membered for their faithful and sue
cessful work and their ever social and
courteous treatment of all with whom
\ they were associated.
