Rocky Ford watermelons have a
country wide reputation. They oc-
cupy prominent positions upon the
menus Of the greatest American
hotels. The deserved reputation
they received did not come from a
conspicuous hiding Of their quality
under a bushel. Grand Junction
fruit needs the light of reputation
as broadly distributed as the Rocky
Ford watermelon. The natural
way to secure it is through the
celebration of Peach Day, at once,
among the frst and greatest Of
Colorado's fste days.

Yesterday the editor of this pa>
per met on the train the manager
of one Of the cyanide smelters,
smelling Cripple Creek ores. The
gentleman talked very freely Of the
strike situation, deploring deeply
that when Colorado was about
ready to secure its share of pros
perity, labor should become en-
broiled with capital. To give con-
sequence to the remarks of the
gentlemen upon certain question
asked, it should be stated that the
gentleman seeing the difficulty,
which was sure to ensue, when the
eight>hour law was enforced, placed
his hands on the first Of June
on the eight-hour basis. The ques-
ton asked of him was, "Can the
smelter owners afford to pay the
advance Of ten per cent. asked by
the smelter employees and work
eight hours7' The very prompt
reply of the smelter man was that
they could readily afford to do so
and their contention that they
could not successfully and profits
ably operate their plants was in no
wise fact. He said further that
in the minds Of the smelter owners
it was not a question of the pays
ment OF the wages asked for by the
men or their inability to success
fully operate their plants under the
eight hour law, but it was a guess
ton with them OF destroying the
labor union of tho smeltermen. If
the smelter owners can make
money under the new law and the
advance in wages and are standing
out because they desire to oppose
organized labor, the entire fault lies
with them. 1t seems under the
words Of the smelter manager that
it was case Of all no. with the
trust smelter owners. Men have
good right to organize for their
protection. so long as they keep
within the bounds Of the law. When
they are assured that their employ
ers are using very thin and speci>
Gus pretext Of losing money, when
asked to comply with changed cons
ditions Of the new law and the ask
ed for advance in wages, to defeat
their labor organization it does not
help matters materially or win
friends for the trust smelter owners.

SLOCOMB'S CASH HARDWARE.
Wants improvements.

T. G. Lennon, superintendent OF the
Indian school at Grand Junction, will
go to Washington in few days to inter-
eat the secretary of the interior in some
changes at the institute.
Prof. Lennon would have regular
dress parade drills, by the students each
day, instead OF semi ENTHUSIASTICALLY, as at
present. He also desires to beautify
the grounds more ard make improve
ments in keeping with the remainder OF
the city.
An ice plant and a sewage system are
among the contemplated.
In letter to Col. T. B. Crawford, who
will convert his horse car system 10
Grand Junction to the more modern
method Of electricity. Prof. Lemon
makes a proposition that will doubtless
be taken up readily to the advantage Of
both parties concerned.
When the street car line out to the
Indian school at Carlisle, Pa, was con-
Lstructed, the male students performed
the work free of charge and gladly, only
asking gratuitous transportation.
This plan is submitted to Col. Craw-
ford. The Indians will construct the
line, he furnishing the material and
competent superintendents, provided
they are given passes. They have very
small allowances each month and other
wise would walk into the city when
visit is made rather than pay the car
fare.
The saving to Col. Crawford will be
large in manual labor and tend to ulti-
mately advertise the attraction at the
school terminus, by showing more In
dians in town.
In the meantime, work not being con-
templated for six weeks, Superintendent
Lennon will visit Washington to secure
deserved improvements at the school. -

A BIG PINE BLUFF MER- CHANT WILL CEASE
 BUSINESS.
PROGRESS IS IMPOSSIBLE
Without Insurance Situation Very Alarming and DiStressing---
 A Letter.

With the passing of each day the insurance situation appears to grow more alarming and distressing and the indications are that if the pres ent conditions exist much longer the damae e. to our business con cerns cannot be estimated Large amounts of insurance contracts come to expiration each day, ard despite the efforts of local agen ts and property owners It is almost an impossibllity 10 place any of the in surauce for renewal. The compa- mes which do not belong to any rat ing bureaus anywhere have been asked to take the bus ness, but they refuse by saying they do not care for any business in Arkansas. To day the manager of one of the larg- est business concerns in Pine Bluff stated that if he could not get his insurance renewed at expiration he would at once cease business. Many loans are being called in, credits be- ing stopped and money lenders have quit making any further loans.
 1t is hardly probable the present legislature will do anything to re. iieve the situation. It has been given out that the insurance com panies cannot force an issue before July and probably September in the courts. What the property owners will do for protee- tioh in the meantime is a puzzle.
 As an evidence of what the com panies have been forced to do we quote the following letter, which was received today by a local agency fl om large company:
 "It is with a good deal of regret H e find advices indicating a change in conditions for the b5ttermant of our position, have proven anything but well founded, and we are there fore compelled to ask that you re turn your supplies to this office. We had hoped sincerely avoiding an entire severance of our connection but it seems the legislature 0: your State has gone into confscating your business aod we can do noth- ing to help the situation. You will always have our deepest interest in your welfare.

HOT SPRINGS. DISGRACE

4 few months ago foul blot was Derpetrated upon the good name and reputation Of our State at Hot Springs. It was a political riot n which four men were killed. It was clearly proven at the Coroner's in- auest that the trouble was pree:pi- 1ated by Sheriff Wllliamstand his senchmen aud heelers. Sheriff Will Hams and his confederates were placed under bond aud held to await she action of the grand jury. Sat arday the grand jury announced b Judge Duflie that they had dismiss sa the charges against the accused, and thus the perpetrators of the goul blot upon the civilization and character of the people of Arkansas go unwbipped of justice. Evident Y the grand jury was 'packed. Tbe good people of Hot Springs owe t to themselves to see to 1t that the suIprits responsible tor the recent murder and riot in their streets are indicted and brought to justice They owe that much to their fellow citizens throughout the State. The aisgrace should be wiped out.

DEWEY AND THE PRESIDEN
 CY.
fChioago Record. |


 Admiral Dewey's sensible re- marks concerning the tion Of himself in connection with the pres idency of the United States mus serve to raise the hero of Manila still higher in the public estimation. He shows that his head is not turned by the praise bestowed upon him to see1 honor in lines outside the sphere of activity in which he has proven himself such a master.
 ''l am a sailor" said Dewey. GA sailor has no poll ics. The admin istration IS his party, and, Republi- car or Democratic, it makes no diff ference. Admiral Dewey said that neither by vocation, disposltIon, ed ucation or training was he eapaci- tated to fill the presidency. He was too we'll along in life to consider such possibility.
 Dewey will continue to the end of his active days the admiral of the United States navy, in which posi- tion he will continue to receive the homage of the whole people, above and free from the partisan wrangles that must follow candidate for the presidency. As the hero of Manila Admiral Dewey is honored and loved by all the people. As an aspirant for the presidency he must become merely the party leader of part of the people.
 There is q world of good sense in what is apparently the admiraps no, ton that the political leaders of a democratic people should not come from their military and naval heroes, but from the ranks of those who have made life study of matters of statecraft. There are few men among those to whom honor comes in war who would so nobly thrust aside the temptation to ride into political power on wave of war enthusiasm.
