The Arvada enterprise., 1915-11-25

beyond words of expression
when the news of the death of
A. B. Cole was received and sad
ness is depicted on the counten-
ances of the many citizens of Ar
vada and Jefferson County and
of Denver, where Mr.. Cole was
born and reared to manhood.
Few even knew that Mr.. Cole
had been i'll as it seemed only a
few days since he was seen on
our streets apparently in usual
health. But on Wednesday of
last week after having been un-
der a physicians care for three
weeks, it was found necessary
for him to undergo an operation
for intestinal trouble. Accord
ingly he was taken to st Joseph's
hospital, where Friday morning
he was operated upon by one of
the best skilled surgeons of Den
yer with several noted specialists
in attendance and it was found
that his case was most critical.
He rallied, however from the
effects of the operation and his
friends entertained great hopes
for his recovery until at about
six O'Clock Saturday evening
when he took a sudden change
for the worse.
Mrs. Cole, his wife was con-
stantly at his bedside and his
mother Mrs. Edmonds S and Mrs.
j. R. Champion hia cousin were
summoned to his bedside, being
driven over by Fred Tyrrell, a
neighbor.
Even upon their arrival the
seriousness of his condition was
not realized as Mr.. Cole an hour
before his death was perfectly
rational and spoke in his usual
.iovial manner.
He relapsed into unconscious
ness about ten minutes before
the end came and did not rally
again.
The deceased was born in Den
yer November 16, 1867, being As
yrs, 4 days old at the time of
death. He finished school in the
same city and afterward gradu-
ated from the law department of
Cornell University, Ithica, N. Y.
He was admitted to the bar in
1891, and worked in the Office of
Benedict & Phelps until the
death of his father Lyman H.
Cole in 1895. He gave up his
practice to attend to his fathers
business.
He was married to Miss Mar
garet c. Cheatly of Central City,
on the Sth day of June 1896.
A son and a daughter were
born to them, Lyman and Kath-
ryn. The former departed six
years ago on the 10th of Novem-
Der.
His death was a great shock to
Mr.. Cole and altho he lost inter-
est in life, he always looked on
the bright side and tried to
make things pleasant for his
family and friends.
Altho he was not a member of

F Farmers' Institute
For ArVada

1t has been some time since the
farmers of this community have
swarmed into town to spend a
day together in friendly conver-
sation and have their families
mingle together and get acquain-
ted. Everybody has been very
busy and little thought has been
given to advancing the social as
well as the practical phases of
life on the farm.
About all that has been done
along this line has been done by
the Changers and some of these
seem to have been quite success
full in this respect while others
have succeeded only in small
way.
However, this community is to
have an awakening in this re-
spect, thanks to the efforts of
State Secretary Clarence Swayzze
of the Colorado State Grange and
the State Agricultural College.
In accordance with these eff
forts Arvada is to be host to
a large crowd of visitors on Fri
day, December 3rd, when a far
mers' institute will be given in
Barth's hall under the auspices
of the Clear Creek Valley Grange
and thru the courtesy and gener-
osity of the State Agricultural
College and the State Grange.
Every farmer and especially
all Changers are urged to attend
an all day session in Barth's hall.
The program to be rendered is
as follows:
9.00-Visiting Schools.
10.00-The Home Garden, DR..
Sandsten.
11.00-How to make the Farm
Pay, Mr.. Foard.
12.OO-Dinner served at M. E.
church by the Ladies Aid.

l.30-Farm Management and
Farm Profits, Mr.. Foard.

session and Misses Carne and
Keener will favor the audience
with some splendid instrumental
music in the evening.
Don't forget the date and
come and bring your familihs and
have a good old fashioned far
mers' institute. You will be
greatly benefited in every way.

The Ocala evening star. [volume] (Ocala, Fla.) 1895-1943, 1915-05-26
WHY THIS OUTBURST?

In yesterdays Star appeared the
following list of questions:
"Why should any measure pertain
ing to the public affairs of Ocala, or
any other city, be gumshoed thru the
legislature without the knowledge of
the people? Is it not the truth that
to fully discuss every law passed is
one of the principles of democratic
government? Does any public-spirit-
ed man ever try to hide anything he
believes is being done in the public
interest? Is it not true that some of
the most corrupt schemes from which
been passed by legislatures or boards
of aldermen without the knowledge
or against the wishes of the people
concerned? What is the use of having
representative government if laws
can be passed to suit one man, or
two, or three, in community? Why
not have an autocracy and relieve the
people of the trouble of looking after
their own affairs"
These remarks were all of gen.
eral tendency, based on fundamental
principles, did not refer to any par
ticular person, and there was no rea-
son why any one should be offended
at them.
Nevertheless the Banner this
morning contained a double-leaded
warwhoop in defense of Mr.. Camp,
whose name did not appear, so far as
we know, in yesterdays paper.
Following up this probably I'M
solicited defense, the Banner pro-
eeeds to give the people of Ocala a
severe lecture, in which it says the
interests of the city are retarded by
private interests intrenched here, and
which object to interference with
their monopolies.
We have no doubt that the Ban
ner believes what it says, but in the
course of twenty years work in this
city, the Star had formed a directly
opposite opinion of Ocala.
Be that as it may, the present is
sue before the people is that of the
people trying to retain something
they already have and which a pri-
vate interest is trying to take away
from them. They are endeavoring to
keep the most powerful monopoly
that has ever yet attacked the city
from intrenching itself in such a way
that its control cannot be shaken off
without great sacrifice if at all.

ELECTRIC BONDS
VALIDATED IN THE HOUSE

There is good news for the people
Of Ocala in the dispatch from Repre-
sentatives Crosby and Henderson,
printed elsewhere. 1t informs them
that their electric light bonds have
been validated by the House.
A bill to validate these bonds was
introduced by Mr.. Crosby some weeks
ago. It was turned down by the
committee, for no good reason that
has ever been stated.
Mr.. Crosby, however, seems to have
gone after the measure in his usual
persistent manner, and the telegram
this morning says that he succeeded.
We do not suppose there will be
any opposition to the measure in the
Senate, and of course there is no rea-
son why the governor should oppose
1t.
The Star congratulates our repre-
sentatives on their work in this in
stance. AS a general thing when a
bill meets an unfavorable report from
a committee, it is killed; and if it is
finally passed in spite of such re-
port it is only as a result of much
more vigorous effort.

ATLANTA MINISTER'S
FOR CLEMENCY

A special from Atlanta to the New
York World says:
Believing that too much mystery
still surrounds the murder of Mary
Phagan and that there is a reasona-
bic doubt of the guilt of Leo NJ.
Frank, prominent members of the
Atlanta Evangelical Ministers As
ISOLATION have decided to petition
Gov. Slaton to commute the sentence
from death to life Imprisonment.
At conference just held this de-
cision was reached, following visit
to the cell of the prisoner by DR.. C.
B. Wilmer, rector of st. Luke's Epis-
copal church.
At the meeting DIR. Wilmer recited
the details of the case, telling of the
doubtful points, and urged action.
Other leaders in the movement are
DR.. j. E. White, pastor of the Second
Baptist church; DR.. C. w. Daniel of
the First Baptist church; DIR. C. O..
Jones of Trinity Methodist church;
DR.. Richard Orme Finn of the North
Avenue Presbyterian church, and DIR.
A. R. Holderby, pastor emeritus of
Moore Memorial church.
The ministers decided to go in a
body before Gov. Slaton when the

AN UGLY INCIDENT

The dispatch elsewhere telling of
the torpedoing of an American steam
ship off the coast of ireland relates
a very ugly incident. In view of the
American note of few days ago, un-
less Germany disclaims the act it is
difficult to see how the United States
can refrain from the most summary
measures.
President Wilson's note to Ger
many contained the following para
graph:
Expressions of regret and offers
of reparation in case of the destruc-
ton of neutral ships sunk by mis-
take, while they may satisfy interna-
tional obligations, if no loss of life
results, cannot justify or excuse q
practice the natural and necessary eff.
feet of which is to subject neutral
nations and neutral persons to new
and Unreasonable risks"

SOMETHING ELSE

The Star this morning received the
following from our representatives at
Tallahassee:
Tallahassee, May 25.
Editor Star: Your article in yes
terday's daily was unfair and unjust.
The people of Ocala have not been
imposed upon.
"Your city charter and paving bills
were both passed.
"Your bill validating the electric
bond election passed the House today.
Eve have given you all you have
asked for.
Camps bills are with a referen-
dunn. We are trying to represent all
the people and not one faction only.
Grossly and Henderson"
Messrs. Crosby and Henderson
have missed the point the Star COM
planned of. The Star, in common
with the rest of Ocala, wanted to
know why these bills went thru the
House without the people of Ocala
being notified that they were under
consideration.
When these bills went to the Sen
ate, Senator Terrell, citizen of
Sumter county, did not think it was
right to pass upon them until the
people of Ocala had been notified.
Why should our own representatives
be less careful of our interests than
Mr.. Terrell, who has the whole dis
trict to look after, and is not suppos-
ed to be posted on our local affairs?
Messrs. Crosby and Henderson have
probably only been negligent on this
point. In regard to their remark
about faction, however, the Star
begs leave to inform then that the
faction that is opposed to measures
being gumshoed thru the legislature
is composed almost solidly of the
people who supported them in the
primaries, and who supported them in
the belief that they would not allow
any measure to pass without the
people had been fully informed of it.
Another matter needs explanation.
In passing the city charter, two sec
tions were left out. One of these
sections would have confined the vote
in bond elections to property owners.
AS this section was one that was par
ticularly urged by the responsible
element of this city and as it is par
ticularly obnoxious to anybody who
may have schemes to put thru by
means of the floating vote, as Messrs.
Crosby and Henderson both knew
this section was an important one,
why was it left out, and why were
the people of this city left in ignor-
ance that it was to be left out until
too late to demonstrate?
We have always praised Messrs.
Crosby and Henderson for what they
have done. We presume. that as an
independent newspaper, and one which
by the way doesn't represent either
a faction or personal interest.
that we have a right to ask them
about the things they do not do.
The Star believes that any citizen
has right to go to the legislature
with any measure he desires to have
passed. The Star also believes that
every community has the right to
know all about all measures concern
ing it before the legislature before
they are passed. We have always un-
derstood this to be sound democratic
principle, and we don't think Messrs.
Crosby and Henderson will dissent
from it.

case reaches him and make oral argu-
ment against the death penalty.
A strong sermon was delivered to-
night by DR.. Jacob L. White at the
Baptist Tabernacle, in which he de-
plored capital punishment. He said
the death of Frank would not restore
Mary Phagan to life nor aid her be-
reaved ones, and pleaded for commu-
tation.
The jurors held a meeting recently
to consider signing a petition for
clemency. AS all of them were not
present, another meeting will be held,
probably this week, at which it is
predicted Communication will be decid-
ed upon.

MELONS WILL SOON
BEGIN TO MOVE

Mr.. J. M. Douglass of Weirsdale
was in the city yesterday and said
the growers would soon begin ship
ping watermelons from that section.
There are now scattering melons from
the earlier paintings that are Is in
ches long or possibly longer and
these could be shipped in a very few
days, but there are not enough for
carloads. The regular crop is both
fine and large, however, with a large
acreage and the shipping will soon
commence in earnest.

A CORRECTION

Earlier in the term of circuit court
this paper erred in stating that Mr..
j. M. Douglass of Weirsdale was ex-
cused from jury duty owing to the
fact that he was member of the
Ocaia Rifles. Mr.. Douglass is post
master at Weirsdale and is therefore

disqualified from jury duty. At the
time Mr.. Douglass was disqualified,
one or two men were excused on their
militia membership, which is an ex-
emption but not a disqualification, and
the reporter got the names mixed.

His Recent AdversarIes Say He
Spent More Than Million Dollars.
Declaring that over s1,OCOOOO was spent
to re-elect Senator Boies Penrose to the
Senate. political adversaries of the Sena-
tor from Pennsylvania renewed their de-
mand yesterday before the Senate Com
mittee on Privileges and Elections for an
! investigation of his expenditures
Representative A. Mitchell Palmer.
Democrat, who made the race against
Penrose, and Representative A P. Rup-
ley, Of the same State, a Bull Moose, led
the fight for the inquiry. The Norris res
olutiOn calling for an investigation of the
expenditures OF Penrose and Roger Sulli-
van, of Illinois, is still pending before the
committee, and is expected to form the
basis for the investigation il one is or
dered, as now seems probable.
The committee agreed to invite Senator
Penrose to appear personally, il he SO
desired, and make answer to the charges
before it takes any further action. Sena-
tor Oliver represented Senator Penrose
and explained that his colleague was de-
taihed by Illness
Mr.. Palmer charged that local and State
committees in Pennsylvania who operated
in PenrOse's interest had already con-
fessed to an expenditure Of $432, 900, while
the county committees of the State had
in his opinion, spent on an average Of.
5000 each, which would make a total of
$I5O,OO0. Mr.. Palmer charged corruption
and declared the State corrupt practices
act was openly. hagrantly and willfuIly
violated" by the so-called Pennsylvania
Protective onion, a political-commercia
organization that worked for Penrose's
nomination and election. and which failed
to file any statement of its expenditures.
The same charge wasslodged against the
State Liquor Dealers Association.
