FESTIVAL PREPARATIONS

Preparation for the Festival of
of Mountain and Plain has pro-
crossed so well that no one CON
templating visiting Denver at that
time need hesitate through fear
that the entertainment will not be
interesting.
Denver will surpass all its other
achievements in providing for tho
pleasure of its guests. The plans
upon which tho directors are
working are very elaborate and
contemplate attractions differing
widely from those of any previous
year. The aim has hsen to avoid
repetitions which would be mo-
notonous and stale. This has been
done, and, while some feature of
previous festivals will be preserved,
there will be so many new ones
that the whole will appear new
even to residents of the city.
Colorado has during the current
year been so prosperous that the
residents of mountain towns will
come to Denver in great numbers
during festival week. 1t will be
pleasant vacation for hundreds of
them who do not get chance to
visit the city more than once or
twice year. 1t will be time and
money we'll spent to come when
the festival is in progress,
The invitation to attend tho
festival is extended not to Colo
RADIO people only, but to the citi-
zens of the adjoining states and
territories as we'll. Denver has
room for all who may come. The
festival is growing to be looked
upon as Rocky Mountain rathor
than n local affair, and visitors
from outside the state will find
themselves as much at home as
those who live in Colorado. Don

A Novol Candidacy.

The little town of Auxerre, in Bur

ing experience. The rival candidates,
Radical and a Republican, have deter.
mined to prove that an election can be
fought in spirit of true friendship.
They have accordingly come before the
electorate on the same platform and
hnrangued the astonished people in
turns They even make the round of
their constituency in the same carriage
and air their respective views at the
same time from either side of the ve-
hicle. After long days campaigning

living together and dino Mt the same

Auxerre are inclined to give these ami

naturally conclude when the two are
seen walking arm in arm to the sarae
meeting that there is something more

candidates. Rival politicians may dine
together in the commons or the senate,
but they must take care occasionally to

CUBANS DESIRE TO DISBAND

Santiago, Sept. 1.-THE resig-
nation of General Gomez as COM
mander-in-chief of the Insurgents,
has not yet been confirmed, but it
is accepted by leading Cubans
here as possible. Gen. Gomez did
not approve of the idea of turning
over the island to the control of
the United States, thus cutting off
all Cuban power as to the present
government of the island.
The Cuban army desires to dis
band since the United States re-
fused to pay them for their

CURRENT MISCELLANY.

The Spanish nation lost its colonies
not because they were strong. but be-
cause the home country was decaying
In 1895 Spain was swept into the mael-
strom of the Napoleonic wars and tho
French treated her in succession us an
enemy, ally, dupe, dependent province
and despairing rebel When in 1907 tho
king of Spain was put under lock and
key by Napoleon, the Spanish colonies
began to take charge of their own af-
fairs, and they never for a moment ac-
mowledged French domination. In
1874 they returned to nominal ale
glance to Spain, but they had tasted the
sweets of Independence; they broke loose
again, and by 1928 Spain had nothing
left on the continent of America except
an empty claim to sovereignty and the
two castles of Callao and San Juan do

DEMANDS OF VOLUNTEERS.

Inc great majority of the volunteers
are anxious to be mustered out, for
they find army life dull and monoton-
Gus, and without any promise of active
service to relieve the dullness and
monotony They regard the war as
over, and they wish to return to civil
life to re-enter the occupations they
left. They certainly should be mus
tered out as fast as possible, with due
regard for the public welfare.
This strong desire of the volunteers
to be mustered out should draw atten-
ton to the very important fact that
we are not a military nation, and that
our social customs and theory of gov
eminent are against turning us into
one. We are a fighting nation, as the
war has shown, but if military ser
vice were compulsory our soldiers
would lose much of their dash and
intrepidity; they would then be SOL
diers whether or not they wanted to;
now we have no soldiers who are not
volunteers, the regular army being
composed entirely of volunteers.
If the government adopts the policy
of a large standing army it will not be
an easy matter to raise it, if the case
of filling up the regular army to its
number is anything to go
by; it still lacks some twenty thousand
to make its quota complete.
If the policy of Imperialism is to be
the policy of the government in the
future, then there will have TO be a
large army, as colonies must be gar
risoned and the government must al
ways be prepared to put down what
we shall call instructions and rebel
lions, but what those engaged in them
will term struggles for liberty and in
When that time comes the
demands of volunteers to be mustered
out will receive no heed, in fact, they
will scarcely dare make such a de-
mand

THE EVACUATION OF CUBA.

The president has said that the Span
iards must begin the evacuation of
Cuba by Oct Is, and that it must be
completed by Oct. 81. This is a proper
decision, and is in the best interests
of Spaniards, Cubans and Americans
alike So long as the Soaniards shall
remain in Cuba or exercise any au-
thority there. there can be no COM
mencement of the Inauguration of the
new order OF things, the better and
progressive order.
The war was begun for The purpose
of compelling Spain to surrender her
sovereignty over Cuba and to quit the
island. While the war is not over,
technically, it is practically. and Its
purpose has been accomplished. Inc
protocol provides for the evacuation Of
Cuba and had it not there would have
been no cessation OF hOStilities. The
Spaniards are to go from Cuba; and
this being the case, the quicker they
go the better it will be; the longer they
linger the greater the reluctance with
which they will go. Then, again. their
continued presence can be nothing less
than a source of irritation: ana IL is
but a short distance from irritation 10
grave misunderstanding and serious
complications.
Then, again. the presidents decision
is fully justified by the well known in
herent disposition of the 6paniards to
postpone everything until tomorrow. 1t
is this proneness OF the SDaniards to
put off until tomorrow everything that
has caused them to dwell SO long and so
far back in the past. IN the future
they may learn that the things of to-
day must be done today. and not put
off until the morrow. The first Great
lesson in this, to them, new knowledge,
has been given them by President Nc
Kinley, and they must have it learned
and have been examined in it by Oct.
81. They cannot set abort studying it
any 700 soon.

THE WAR AS AN ISSUE.

and it's dark and gloomy one. 1t was
most successfully fought on sea and
land, and the achievements there
thrilled the country as it has scarcely
ever been thrilled before. That is the
side on which all love to look, because
it presents a grand picture of which
all are justly proud.
But the other side, the dark and
gloomy one. That is one from which
the people shrink when they behold it.
1t is picture of intense and needless
suffering among the men who offered
their lives to their country, intense and
needless suffering, not on the tented
or trenched field, but in the detention
and hospital camps. And what has
caused so much needless suffering?
Bad management on the part of the
And whence come the stories of suffer-
ing and deprivation? From the vic
tins of this bad management, the men
in the camps and hospitals. 1T is what
they have written home that has
aroused the indignation of the whole
country; the press has but made com
ments upon these accounts. 1t is idle
to say that those who are not in ac-
cord politically with the administra-
ton are seeking to discover a mares
nest where none exists; that which has
attracted the attention of the nation
has been the Wailings and meanings
and the cries and curses of the soldiers

1T OUGHT TO KNOW.

The Republican organ invites The
Herald to point out the polygamists on
the Republican ticket, as if they were
not known to our morally indignant
neighbor.
That is a kind of work for which the
Republican organ is especially adapted:
it is fight which the Republicans Of
Utah are making; it is a method of
campaigning used by Republicans ex-
clusively sisce the division on national
lines; and. furthermore, it is not the
business of The Herald to arrange the
Republican ticket to make it consistent
with the Republican fight on Democrat
ic nominees.
1t was the duty of the Republican or
gan, engaged, as it pretended to be, in
a great moral crusade, to examine into
such affairs of it's own accord without
asking The Herald to do its work for it.
In other words. let our neighbor at
tend to the beams in it's own party
eye before beginning on the notes else
where.
