SPEAKS AGAINST NEWSPAPERS
AS PUBLIC UTILITIES
Daniels Says Measure is Vicious One
Proposed by WOuld-be Reform
ers

iels of this city today in speaking of
the attempt to foster on this state
through initiated bills some vicious
measures, calls particular attention
to that which would make newspapers
public utilities. He takes occasion to
show up those who have done Colo
RADIO so much damage through their
many would-be reforms. Mr.. Daniels
says:
"The proposition to place newspap-
ers under the control of the public
utility commission, is certainly vic
ious one, and it is difficult to believe
that there is the slightest danger Of
its adoption by the voters, unless it
is, as much vicious legislation has
been adopted in Colorado and else
where, by an active minority through
the neglect Of the majority.
"But is it any more vicious than
the half-baked and i'll considered leg
islation that permits its submission,
again as so many other vicious and
mischievous propositions have been
submitted, through ignorance, not
only Of the general public, but of the
most Of those who signed the petit
"The law which for illustration per-
mitted the submission Of no less than
thirty-nine propositions at a recent
state election, but one of which was
adopted, and that so ill-considered and
ineffective a proposition Of our Little
Bennie' that many in favor Of the
principle, voted against it.
"Surely some will remember that
during the campaign for our present
vicious initiative and referendum law,
when the matter Of the expense Of
the submission of twenty propositions
in Oregon was mentioned, we were
told that it was trick of the Beast
to make the law unpopular but that
nothing of the kind could happen in
Colorado and yet the 'thirty-nine'
were practically all by our reformers
who haven't had initiative or ability
to correct the abuses demonstrated in
the pure recall, initiative and refer
endum and other pure reform legis-
lation, in places where they had been
in effect before being considered here
"The republican proposition to re-
quire signatures for reference of leg
islation from the judicial districts of
the state in proportion to the vote, is

Az d late hour this morning the
mercury in the thermometer had not
dropped to twenty degrees as was pre-
dicted yesterday, but the forecast for
fair and continued cold weather has
about e. borne out by the changes
hat came about since 8 o'clock last
night.
Fair weather is also expected to-
morrow, with a slight moderation in
the temperature, and possibly a fol-
lowing of rain late in the day. The
cold wave which struck Raleigh late

ground. The ground was wet N the
snow melted almost as fast as 1t fell.
The temperature at 8 o'clock yeSter-
| day morning was SO degrees, and had
dropped to 80 degrees at noon. At 5
| o'clock in the afternoon, however, it

London. March 22.-An official re-
port issued tonight says all the pro-
posed troop movements in Ulster have
been carried out
These movements the IT ,ort as
serts, were Of a purely precaution-
AIRY nature, with the object of giving
adequate protection to the depots Of
other government property against
possible risks. There has not been
and is not now my intention to move
troops into Ulster except for these
and like purposes"
The Powers Confer.
Conferences between King George,
Premier Asquith and other ministers
Wit reference to the Ulster situation
continued all day. Winston Churhill,
First Lord Of the Admiralty twice
visited the Prime Minister and Angus
tine BirTell, chief secretary for Ire
and likewise conferred with Mr.. AS
quith. Colonel Seely, Secretary Of
State for war, had a long audience
with the King while Premier Asquith
and Field Marshal Sir John French,
chief of the general staff, spent an
hour at Buckingham Palace, after
The Prime Minister had been visited
by the Archbishop OF Canterbury,
head OF the English church.
Public Patiently Waits.
In a general way the situation to-
day seemed easier, the public being
inclined to await with patience the
expected statement in the House Of
Commons tomorrow regarding the
movement OF troops and the r~esigna-
lions of officers.
Lord Charles BereSford, q strong
Ulster advocate, in a letter to the
press, says:
Il know for q fact that many naval
officers, including those Of high rank,
and some OF the best Lien we possess
will resign If ordered to take part in
the coercion Of Ulster, OF even if the
army alone lis utilized for the pur'
pose"
Lord Charles contends hat the ar
GuInent hat officers and men who re
tuse to coerce Ulster might refuse, *
tn future to participate In the quell
Ing Of riots e not hold good. Their
being no comparison. he says, be
tween civil war and a riot.
Speaking at a nationalist demon
stration at Glasgow today. JOSEPH
Deviin, NJ. p. for Belfast, said tn
irish party never had asked for I'll
army in Ulster. Ii the government
felt its duty to see hat law and orde
were preserved in the face OF threats
the responsibility was the govern
ment's. IF there should be riot an
disorder, the responsibility was no
the N~atiOnalists'.

Dean c. Worcester TO Tell
About The Philippines

The New York Tribune in reviewing
he address of Dean c. Worcester OF
he Wild Tribes Of the Philippines, as
delivered at Carnegie Hail. New York,
and which is to be delivered at the
Playhouse on January p, printed the
following tribute to Mr. Worcester, de-
livere, by Bishop Samuel Fallows OF
illinois. who introduced Mr.. Worcester,
10 his audience.
Through the unexpected fortunes
OF wsr, by the overruling Of divine
Providence, country OF great fertility
and boundless opportunities embracing
many varied dependent peoples, came
lnder the American flag.
AT the close OF the Spanish-Ameri-
AN war President Mckinley, during the
)eace jubilee held in Chicago, was asked
BY some Of us why he did not let go OF
ihe Philippines. He answered Let
lhem gog II is lie taking hold of a
i've wire. we cannot let it go.
"The story Of the beneficial influence
ii American occupancy upon the Philip
,ines is without parallel in the worlds
snnals. It transcends Aladdins lamp
N the Arabian Nights or the marvel

Verne.
"The gentleman who is TO address
1s was formerly a distinguished pro-
ossor in the University of Michigan.
Ie went to the Philippine Islands when
.hev were under the regime OF Spain,
md won an international fame hy his
scientific attainments and researches,
md was honorcd for them by an cleo
ion 20 the ROYAL Geographical Society

"He was a member of the first two
Philippine commissions appointed by
ne government of the United States,
md served with MT Taft. Admiral
Dewey. General Otis and other emin-
,nt men. He occupied the important
position OF Secretary Of the Interior
rom September 1901 to September
1918. and had the direct executive
control of the bureaus of Science,
lands. Forestry and Health. BY his
nwearied lahors among the wi d
ribes of the Philippines he has been
fratifyingly bringing them from
,avapism TO civilization, and has so
won their respect and reverence that
.hev call him the Great White Father
-Presid mt Taft has paid him this
.rihute:
"My friendship for him is founded
on profound respect for his ability,
his high sense OF duty and his
courage. out of the twenty-five years
of his public life he has spent
aightteen in the Philippines. There
Is not a man in the whole history OF
our relation TO the Philippines who
has done more for the Filipinoa than
ae."
Ex-Governor Forbes said OF him:
His ability is wen known to be sup
r.riative He has one of the most re-
markable minds with which / have
ever come in contact. He has certain
