Did you ever know an architect who would under

omit to prdtlde a suitable foundation?
Have we realized fully that well-rounded deyel-
opment depends in large measure upon earlier infu-
ences and the habits acquired in the formative period
of life?
1t is now generally understood that the function
of the kindergarten is to nurture and develop the

entitled Diamonds and Hearts. The

the convenience of the spectators. An
orchestra, consisting of members of the

which was thoroughly enjoyed by all

was exceptionally well presented. The
play, with the usual amount Of comedy

first three reasons are all taken

tirst three reasons are all taken
care OF
Do the people want it9
The only authoritative expression
taken was two years ago last fall
when out of a total Of 1859 voters
only 2S2 registered opposition to
the proposal, while l,407 expressed
their approval. That election has
been criticised to some extent, but
we have never seen any reason to
believe that it was not a reason
ably fair expression Of the desire
Of the people at that time.
We admit that it would have
been we'll to have had another bal
lot, but we are inclined to believe
that the proportions of such an
election today would not be mater.
tally changed. es
The result of that ballot was
claimed to have been influenced
by Misrepresentation and false
statements, about cost Of maintain.
ing new county, and about the
prospects OF new court house at
Greeley.
We are inclined to believe that
the estimated costs of a new coun.
ty were lower than they should
have been, and expect that we
may find the cost higher than we
have anticipated. The cost was
estimated then, and We think hon.
estly estimated. But estimates are
always liable to error, and the
public knows this and they were
not deceived.
As to the statements made about
the new court house, the only mis-.
take made in that was that We
were too conservative. It was
claimed that a new court house
was likely to be built, and it has
been built. 1t was claimed that Il
would probably cost not less thar
$500, 10000, and it has cost far in
The Raymer enterprise., 1917-03-08

excess Of that figure now, and is
still incomplete.
So the claim that false represen-
tation influenced the vote two
years ago fall to the ground
The fourth reason may have
some merit, but others will claim
that land values will be higher
with separation than not. We be
lieye that our lands can sell on
their own merits, and that is what
they will eventually have to stand
upon.
This is a question upon which
good men may disagree. We have
endeavored to make our position
clear and state the objections fair
ly as given. II wrong we wish to
be corrected. The Enterprise is
perfectly willing. yes anxious to be
the vehicle Of discussion against
as we'll as for the proposition.
We would like to refer to anoth-
er matter. We learned some two
weeks ago that some Of our best
and most respected friends at
Buckingham believed that Raymer
and others we're trying to prevent
the establishment Of a bank at
their town, by trying to get the
bank commissioner to withhold a
charter. We inquired Of the bank
commissioner about this and be
said there was no foundation for
the suspicion go far as he knew.
We heard the same charge repeat
ed last week, and again we saw
the bank commissioner, and infor-
med US that up to last Friday nc
objection had come to his Office
from any source on this matter.
We hope TO Gee q successful
bank at Buckingham, and we
want to see all the towns along the
Burlington grow and prosper.

county has population Of $500 and a
property valuation of s6,s12, 5000.
Mr.. Graves writes from Denver, the
following letter:
Last Saturday and Sunday l
was busy visiting and talking with
many of the readers Of The Enter
prise who were in Denver, 90 did
not have time to write, but | pre-
snme that yon have read accounts
OF the demonstration made, in the
Denver papers. Those accounts
may have been a little strong, but
no legislative committee has be.
fore seen such a demonstration. A
delegation Of at least 200 people
coming from 100 to l50 miles on
about forty-eight hours notice to
ask for legislation, sets a new
mark in such incidents.
In talking with Buckingham
people here Monday / learned that
in some places; The idea prevailed
that the supporters Of the bill had
proposed the hearing before the
committee, kept it quiet from pos
sible opponents Of the bill, and
that | had been working overtime
and for some time on getting up
the demonstration
The facts are that | am not a
member Of the committee, and /
did not ask them for the hearing
Judge Jacobs, of Greeley, asked
for a chance to be heard, and the
meeting Saturday evening was
called for the benefit and at the
request of the opponents Of the
bill. But l was told the date, and
| wrote Mrs. Graves the date and
told her to tell the boys, but did
not urge any biz crowds or pack
ing any committees, nor did sug-
gest any attempt to conceal from
anybody the date Of the meeting
or hearing. l should Judge, from
the numbers appearing that in
stead Of concealing the time Of the
meeting, it was well advertised.
II there was concealment, / and
the friends of the bill were
the victims. After the meeting
was called and the date fixed, the
Greeley people asked to have the
hearing postponed until Monday
noon. Their request was granted,
But the word got to Grover and l
was asked about it from there by
telephone on Friday, ana it was
the first | had beard Of the post
ponement. Suspicious natures
might discover ways that were
darl in this, but life is too short
for such speculation.
The Greeley people did come
Monday. TheGreeley paper said
twenty farmers opposed the bill.

number was very Bccurate count
Of the people from Buckingham.

spokesman, and not one Of them

~ MIR. Darrow and the principal
objection raised by Judge Jacobs
Judge Jacobs made the state
ment that if our bill was passed it
would increase his taxes 20 per
cent. We only have one-tenth Of
the taxable property Of Weld coun
ty, consequently should not pay
over one-tenth Of the county tax,
which would only be 10 per cent.
II We paid all Of our tax into Weld
county and the county did not

erty and collect the tax, not a cent

side Of the line. Any school boy
through the eighth grade can see
that.

titude on the bill. One, and only
one replied that they we're against
the bill. s~
| am not finding any fault with
those who came from Pawnee
county to Denver to oppose the
bill. They did exactly right Ny
criticism Of those who opposed
county division has always been
that they did not take sufficient in
terest in the question. That they
did not voice their opposition, and
give their reasons; that they kept
still, and left those, who must
judge Of the will Of the people, in
the dark as to their attitude Those
objections, also should have been
made known in Pawnee county,
rather than in Greeley. The COL
umns Of this paper have always
been open for discussion Of any
question Of public interest to the
proposed county and it's people,re
gardless of whether it agreed with
the views of it's editor or not.
They did right when they came to
Denver, but they had not been as
diligent as they should have been
lin my opinion)in letting their op-
position be known in time to pre-
vent the introduction OF the bill.
We have stated the main objec-
tions given by the opponents liy-
ing in Greeley. We are going to
try and state the objections made
by those from within the proposed
county
They said:
LIST. We are not ready for it
now. End. They believed II would
increase expense and taxes.
Sd. They were not convinced that a
majority Of the people wanted it now.

in selling land TO be able to state
that it was in Weld county famous

that II the third objection was not

two reasons given would be the
main reason for the third and

We think it was admitted that

facts, then no division should be

RAYMER WILL HAVE
ACATHOLIC CHURCH
Non- Catholic Citizens Support
Movement With Financial
Aid. All Want Il.

The people Of Raymer and vi
cinity who are Interested in the
welfare and growth Of the town
have started a movement towards
the organization Of a Catholic
church for Raymer and the erec-
tion OF an edi6ce at this place.
Mr.. Martin Bommelyn made up
his mind that New Raymer should
have church building instead Of
continuing to celebrate mass in
private houses and such places. So
he started out with a petition and
succeeded within a few days, in
raising $662.5O in pledges for a
new church. He has definite PROM
ises which will raise these pledges
to $500. 1t is probable that some
aid will be secured from the Cath
olic Church Extension society, aud
that the erection OF the church will
be started this spring. s
All the citizens of Raymer con.
tributed to the cause regardless Of
adherence to the church. Among
the non- Catholics who subscribed
are: A. E. Pischel $25, Jay Hot-
man $25, Kotouc Bros. $40, Fred
L. Knapp $40, schmeeckle Bros.
$40, Fl. H. Northup $40, 7. V. Ad.

When the church building will
have been completed it will add
much to the town and will no
doubt cause many new families to
locate here. 1t is thought that a
resident priest will be in charge of
the church in Raymer.
