No More Hysteria
The opposition of the Statesman
to the initiative and referendum, and
to recall of executive and judicial of
ficers, is of long standing and well
known. Therefore it is to be expect
ed that we are not in sympathy with
the Citizens’ Party and the commis
sion form of government. Yet we
realize that no public question is one
sided and that arguments can be
brought against our position, not
good ones we believe, but still argu
ments that are convincing to some
voters. Therefore we believe that we
owe it to our good sense to avoid
accusing our opponents of being al
together vile or foolish. Yet strange
to say, those who oppose us, spend
far more time in plain abuse than in
argument to show the need of a
change of system. If the Citizens
Party’ adherents were defending the
prevailing condition abuse might
serve, but since they are clamoring
for a change, it is to reason they
should appeal
Two years ago in a campaign char
acterized by the same methods, the
voters were persuaded to reject pro
positions to buy the water plant or
to grant an extension of franchise.
The arguments used to show that a
new plant could be built for half the
price of the old, were simply abuse.
The result was to be expected. “Those
who live by the sword shall die by
the sword.” Those who get political
success without a substantial founda
tion of fact and reason, shall fall
through their folly. For two years
the case has been in court and re
cently, the one man upon whose pro
fessional knowledge and skill the pro
posed plant rested, admitted under
oath in the United States court that
his investigations were inadequate to
show sufficient water to supply a
new plant, and such investigations as
he had made showed a considerable
advance in the cost of water rights
over the estimate he gave during the
progress of that campaign.
However, Denver people apologize
to their conscience for using abuse
as their guide in voting instead of
reason, they cannot evade paying the
cost,
So it is that The Statesman calls
the attention of voters in the coming
election to the need of judging the
proposals submitted, by facts and rea
son rather than by abuse of those
who oppose them. There are some
good points about them and it is for
us to see whether they are greater
than the good points of the proposi
tions they seek to supplant. It is not
an argument for the commision form
of government, for instance, that
Mayor Speer has been unsatisfactory.
A bad official does not mean that
the system is bad. On the other
hand, if we were to grant that the
commission form of government was
good, that would not prevent poor
commissioners from making it as
odious as do poor officials make pres
ent conditions undesirable.
Voters must learn to distinguish be
tween the means and the man.

NOTES OF THE ZION
BAPTIST CHURCH
The Easter services at Zion wet*
the most elaborate, the most insp.
ing and enjoyable of any we haw
known for a number of years. A
very entertaining program by the
children at 10 o’clock, the Easter s«
mon at 11, and a musical program
the choir at night made up the ord*
for the day. The perfect weather
brought out an immense eongreg
tion which taxed the capacity of t
building at each service.
By request choir repeated the
cantata which was repdered tin*
Thursday evening before. Too mu
praise cannot be given the choir, and
Mrs. Faulkner for the splendid ren
dition of this most difficult and plott
ing cantata, “The Seven Last Wore
of Jesus.’’ To be able to interpr
so successfully the tragic meaning
Golgotha is a triumph which mak
us proud of our singers.
' The Sunday school campaign dui.!
ing this hard winter has succeeded in
'more than doubling the enrolln • nt.
I At the beginning of the movemei in
the month of November, last, ill* roll 1
contained about 150 names which has
now reached about 350. There is
really no good reason why this num-
I ber should not reach 500 during this
summer .
I .Our B. V. P. IT. has also tak* i. on
1 new life. The attendance at th eve
ning meetings has known a con-.der-
J able increase and the general inter
est in the lesson study is makin- it
a live organization of young people.
A scries of home entertalnnu is
reaching our young people from the
social side in a way that is ph using
to the leaders.

Zion is now preparing for another
visit from the Williams World Fa
mous Jubilee Singers about the close
of the present month or the begin
ning of May. The coming of this
organization is always a treat to the
Denver public. We are planning to
make this the greatest ever. The
concert will be held at the new >
church, and we expect to sell a thou
sand tickets. Everybody will be
there.

the pastor to the effect that Mr.

King pricked her finger with a needle 1

THE CHURCH OF
THE REDEEMER.
Perfect weather, overflowing con
gregations, excellent music, impres
sive services, combined to make Eas
ter day all that could be desired, and
a day long to be remembered in the '
history of the Church of the Holy
Redeemer. A point had been reached :
in the spiritual life and material well- J
hieing of the church never before at
I mined. And the watchword is still
•forward."
It now becomes imperative upon us
to provide more room for the con
stantly increasing congregations so
that our members and visitors may
be made comfortable at afl times. On
Monday morning, therefore, while the
blessed memories of the Easter day's
services were still fresh and delight
ful. we sought out and employed an
architect to make plans and specifica
tions for an extension of the nave of
the church. The contract will be im
mediately let and the work pushed
so that when the record breaking con
firmation class is presented to the
Bishop of the diocese on the evening
of Sunday, April 2Sth, there will be
room to accommodate the large con- “
'gregation that will assemble to en
gage in the solemn and impressive f
service.
The formal induction of the vested
choir which was postponed from last
Sunday, chiefly because to do so
would have unduly lengthened a serv
ice already lengthy, will take place
j on Sunday morning at 11 o'clock. Th**
priest. Father Brown, will preach a
special sermon, subject: “The White
Robed Throng." It being Low Sun
day, there will be Choral Solemn cele
hration of the Holy Eucharist. At
the evening service, the sacrament of
Holy Baptism will be administered
to the last class of candidates prepar
atory to the Sacrament of Confirma
tion. The subject of the special ser-
I mon will be "St. Thomas, the Doubt
,er-”
