Will Go on the
Ballot This Year

The people of Colorado will be af.
forded an opportunity at the elections
in November to vote for, or against
the organization of two new counties
in this state, The determination of
this question in that manner has been
under consideration for some time,
but it was not until a few days ago
that it was definitely decided that the
proposition should go upon the ballot
The Colorado Springs Gazette thus al
ludes to the matter:
Residents of the Pixies Peak dis
trict will be interested in a decision
Of the state supreme court last Mon
day in disposing of case brought by
the opponents of plan to create two
new counties in Eastern Colorado
which is to be submitted othe voters
at the general vote at the polls viii be
known as Limon and Flagler.
THE case originated with an action
brought in the Denver district court
against Secretary OF State James
Noland by a number OF interested par
ties who claimed that the petitions
fled with Noland were insufficient
because they did not, it was alleged
contain a submission clause. The dis
trict court held that the petitions were
not sufficient and the case then went
to the supreme court by action taken
by those favoring the creation Of the
two new counties
The supreme court now upholds
the position Of Attorney General V. E.
Keyes and those favoring the petitions
overruling the decision OF the district
court. Petition for a rehearing Of
the case was denied last Monday.

and placing the creation OF The coun-
ties in the hands of the voters"

Florence Men
Will Repair Road

FLORENCE, Oct Ga delegation
Of Florence business men. all of whom
are members of the Chamber of Com
merce. drove to the point on the Oak
Creek grade Sunday afternoon where
the road branches to Canon City, and
found that portion of the roadway
from Rockvale to the junction of the
road sadly in need OF repair.
The trip was made at the solicita
tion of Mr.. Slusser. who is developing
the Terrible mine at Use. and he is
desirous of hauling ore to Florence for
Florence people, who made the trip N
with supplies on the return trip. Un
der the present conditions the road
is impossible for heavy trucks. but IL
can be put into good condition with
the expenditure of 5000 or 500.
The grade from the junction of the
road to Florence is much easier than
the one from Canon City. and the dis
tance is less. Road Commissioner
White, who was a member of the
party. stated that the work of repair
ing this road was authorized some
time ago by the county commissioner S
and would have been completed before
this had the workmen been available
He expects to, commence work at
once, and unless hampered through a
shortage of labor, will have 1t com.
pleted within few weeks.
The party comprised the following
four automobiles: Mr. and Mrs.
Jackson Taylor. Jr., MI and Mrs. ]. NJ
Farley, Mr.. and Mrs. W. D. White, H,
NJ. Fox. T. H. Morrissey. E. L. Bever.
stock, George Palmer. Dan Isaacs, lr.
vine Meek and Lynn Smith. The re
turn trip was made down the Canon
City grade and then to Chandler
creek, where the party stopped for a
short visit before returning to Flor
ence.

THE WAY To THE FATHER.

To deny the reality Of evil is not
contrary TO the teachings Of the Scrip.
lures, as some aver. On the other
hand it has been demonstrated with
scientific certainty that an intelligent
rejection of evil gives one dominion
over evil not to be gained in any other
way. Jesus said 10 his disciples. Il
am the way. the truth. and the life.
no man Cometh unto the Father. but
by me- He taught that the way to
the Father is not through belief in the
reality of evil, but through the under.
standing of God. good, as the only pow.
er. cause and creator. He taught men
to think and do good. To the extent
that one does good. he makes nothing
of evil. for good and its supposed op-
man consciousness at the same time.
The reality of good was the key
note of the Masters teachings He
required implicit obedience to the law
of good at all times. His teachings
leave no room or opportunity for the
indulgence of evil. He taught men 70
love even their enemies. If one has the
abiding consciousness of God as Love
he will manifest love and he will eX-
perience none of the ill effects that
result from a sense of hatred. Jesus
demonstrated that evil is to be over
come with good; it is impossible to
gain the victory over evil in any other
way.
The illusion of evil always seems
real to a false sense, but sense testi-
mony regarding evil should never be
accepted. Is not all sin a deception?
Is 1t true that there is pleasure in
wrOngdoing as material sense would
have mortals believe? Did a man ever
gain anything really worth while by
resOrting to the methods of evil? If
nothing that evil can say of itself be
true, wherein is il to be accepted as a
reality? Let us go back to the first
appearance of evil as recorded in the
third chapter of Genesis. What was
at the bottom of it? Was it not lie.
even the belief that man would gain
something by accepting evil for what
it claims to be? Jesus called evil d
lie and the father of the lie. Where is
to be found a better definition of evil?
Knowing that all evil is a lie, the
Master said to his followers. And We
shall know the truth, and the truth
shall make you free"

CHRISTIAN ACTIVITY
INCREASED.

Christian Science has restored the
teaching and practice of primitive
Christianity. which included the heal.
ing of sickness as well as the over.
coming of sin, and so has enlarged
the borders of Christian activity. 1t
Is causing men to see that the Chris
tan religion is based on a divine Prin-
ciple which can be understood and
demonstrated. The Christian religion
Is the most potent influence for good
the world has ever known, and the
better 1t is understood the more i'm
portant is the place it occupies in hu.
man affairs.
Because of the great good Christian
Science has accomplished. men and
women of all classes are conscienti.
ouSiy devoting themselves to the study
OF this subject and earnestly striving
To put its teachings into practice
There is a rapidly increasing number
OF intelligent persons who rejoice ia
be known as Christian Scientists. and
it is impossible to say how MANY
thousands are convinced of the truth
OF this teaching who, for various rea.
sons. have not as yet openly declared
themselves.
Christian Science has rendered prac.
teal the essential truths of the Scrip.
lures, and this is the reason for the
marvellous growth of our cause. As
Christian Scientists. we believe in
one God, as do all other Christian peo-
pie. This God is the only cause and
creator. In st. Johns gospel we read.
All things were made by him: and
without him was not any thing made
that was made" We believe in one
power. Omnipotence. Paul declares.
There is no power but of God: the
powers that be are ordained of God.
We believe in one Christ, the Savior
Of men. There is none other name
under heaven given among men,

MENTAL CAUSATION.

If one gain the victory over sin by
making good real in thought and deed
and this can be proved in the daily ex
perlence Of anyone, he can overcome
sickness in the same manner. Sin is
an error of thought in the beginning
and so it is with sickness. Even from
medical point of view, based wholly
on material hypothesis, thinking and
talking about disease and suffering is
never helpful. No good can possibly
result from this practice and it is to
be condemned. Most persons admit
that thought affects the body some,
what. but they question whether the
belief in sickness and the fear of it
could produce a sicls body. If the
effect of thought on the body is &C.
cepted as an established fact, where
can one draw the line and say, Thus
far and no farther" Just how much
is it possible to think and talk about
sickness and experience no bad re-
suits? Since there is no satisfactory
answer to the question. would it not
be well to be on the safe side and
all thought of disease and in
harmony?
thinking makes a man what he is.
His present mental condition is largely
the result Of the thoughts he has en-
