La Junta tribune. (La Junta, Bent County, Colo.) 1881-1939, 1898-07-27

The city council did not meet
Monday night. quorum not being
available. There was considerable
discussion Of the subject Of build
ing the ditch in the south part OF
town to afford an outlet for the
storm waters that have caused con-
siderable damage to down town
property in times past. T. T.
Woodruff, who has subscribed $3oo
for the carrying out Of the project,
was present prepared to demon
strate its feasibility and to urge the
council to appropriate $Ioo toward
the scheme. 1t was first proposed
to build the ditch from the south
along Ration avenue to Montana
street and then east to the arroyo.
The property owners along Ration
avenue objected to the defacement
Of the most beautiful avenue in the
city with an unsightly storm water
ditch and with very good reason.
Il j. now proposed to construct the
ditch east to Home Place, and
thence along the county road to
the arroya, which is avery sensible
change.

Normal Institute.

The Normal Institute of District
No. s. comprising the counties Of
kiowa, Bent, Baca, Prowers and
Otero, will be held at Lamar from
August sd to August 18th inclusive.
II is earnestly hoped that all
teachers, as well as others who are
interested in the cause of educa-
ton, will attend. The executive
committee feel that they are ex-
tremely fortunate in securing an
able corps Of instructors and lee
turers. The people Of Lamar are
offering every inducement possible
to secure good attendance and
have made arrangements whereby
persons may be accommodated at
very small expense. The regu-
lar examination of teachers follows
the close of the Institute, but one
day intervening, and FIVE per cent
will be added to the grade acquired
at the examination for attendance
at the institute. We hope to make
this Institute success, but il will
take money to do it. Teachers OF
Otero county and those contem
plating teaching should attend. II
you find that it will be impossible
for~y to attend you can assist in
the work by paying the enrolment
fee Of 81 to help defray the ex-
penses Of the meeting.
Respectfully,

NEW CONDITIONS AND NEW ISSUES.

III pOltlCS II Is nuCn SAFER 10
wait until an event transpires than
to prophesy what will happen. In
times of business depression it is
safe to prophesy that question of
finance will be the issue upon
which the people will line up in
battle array. Give them an era of
OF prosperity, however, good crops
and consequent revival OF busi-
ness and hard luck stories do
not appeal to them with much
force. They want some vital and
living issue. The silver issue is
essentially a hard luck story. The
alluring promises OF revival OF
business, a boom in prices and
money to burn appeal to man
who is broke, out of work and gen.
orally respondent. Any old change
could not make his condition
worse. He has nothing to lose in
case the gold bug calamity prophe-
sizes come true, and everything to
gain in case the .ssilver promises"
materialize. He is willing to take
the chance on single cast OF the
die.
So many people have become
impregnated with the idea that
free silver is the universal panacea
for all the ills that attlict human
ity that they are Impervious to
new idea nor will they entertain an
economic thought that has not
silver lining. The fallacY OF the
silver argument has been so clearly
demonstrated by recent events
that many have arrived at the
doubling period. They begin to
reaiizc that wheat can command
fabulous price without the aid OF
free silver that we may have good
crops without free silver that the
farmer may laugh and grow fat
without free silver that all the ills
with which we have been afflicted
are not directly traceable to lack
of free silver. In fact, it has been
demonstrated that we can be un-
usually prosperous without free
silver. Free silver is but theory,
and it is a condition that confronts
us and OF which. we should strive
to make the most Of.
In times of business prosperity,
good crops and plenty Of work for
every man who will work, financial
theories which promise improved
conditions do not appeal to the
average man. The past comes
not again, he wisely improves the
present, and if he is prosperous he
is happy and has no fears for the
future.
These facts are very CALLING to

A great effort will be made in
the fall campaign to have "princi-
pie" cut very large and impor-
tant figure. The "combine" will
endeavor to blind the eyes of the
voters with silver goggles and thus
gather unto themselves the spoils
OF Office. There never was cam
paign in which the slogan OF the
Texas statesman could be more APP
propriately used. He sprung it
on a national convention years
ago-"What are We here for. if
not tor he offices7" In reality a
division of the spoils Of Office is
the only thing that is worrying the
advocates Of : triple combination.
Any old principle is good enough
SO long as it makes votes-that is
the principle" thing they are
after.

~ left behind curious request to his
family few days prior to his death, which
occurred the other day in his native dis
trict of Hizen. He observed to his fam
lily that as he had never had the time to
Investigate religious questions deeply
enough to enable him to determine which
faith he should embrace, he was neither
prejLdiCed against nor partial toward any
form of religion. However, he himself was
OF opinion that his soul would perish with
the cessation of his life, while his remains
would crumble to dust. Therefore he did
not wish to have any religious service per-
formed on his behalf. The funeral also.
should he as simple could be, and flow
ers and similar offerings be strictly de-
ciined. No announcement should be made
of his death to friends of his until four
or 1--WE days after the funeral. Two or
three weeks after his death his relatives
and friends should be invited to a banquet
and they should De asked to enjoy the
occasion as heartily possible A priest
might be invited. If the presence of such
a parsonage were deemed desirable At the
funeral. also, nobody should accompany
the bier; except, IL considered necessary,
one or two representatives on behalf Of
the family and relatives might follow the
remains to the grave. The tomb was to
be or the simplest description, only his
name being inscribed upon 1T. A memorial
tablet was entirely tabooed.
