wANTED..,AN ,EARTHQuA

A great many people are becom>
ing thoroughly, convinced that mu-
nicipal affairs in Grand Junction
need an upheaval OF some kind to
start the town moving at a some
what faster gait, thanit has moved
in the past few years. Considering
the reputation it bears, the size Of
the town should be double what
it is. F@H
Unhappily for the city it has
a sauguine people who have tutor
ed themselves into the belief that,
the town will grow anyhow, even
if its progress is somewhat slow.
This is an unfortunate condition Of
mind, for while undoubtedly the
town will grow sometime, but the
impetus to swifter growth is lack
ing and golden opportunities will
drift by unheeded. ~S'-'~' 80 . = :

No very definite idea can be

Our increase in population will
show possibly as large, if not a

New communities must bear the
burden OF "incompetents," "has

time when such should seek their
true level and permit men of push
ing business qualities to take the
reins.
j It-is the history of western towns
and cities that frequently the alb
sence OF brains is an absolutely es-
sential qualification for selection to
office. 1t would be unkind, per-
haps uncomplimentary to suggest
that municipal affairs in this city
have many times been piIoted by

Lincoln's wooing and wedding are of SO
peculiar a nature that they deserve notice
in the annals OF his remarkable life. as
throwing a side light upon one aspect Of
his character with which the general pub
lie is wholly unfamiliar. This popularity
can only be explained by his disordered
state of mind when he became acquainted
with Miss Mary Todd in 1889. His wooing
was a series of morbid misgivings Al to
the force of his affections, of alternate
ardor and GOODNESS, advances and. with
drawals. and every variety Of strange lam
guage and freakish behavior, continued
until the appearance of his omnipresent
political rival. Douglas, in the field Of love

courtship, the wedding day arrived, the
bride waited vainly amid her silks and
overs for the recalcitrant lover. Friends
discovered him IN the morrow, hidden in
an out-of-the-way corner. If not insane, at
least sunken in one of those absorbing fits

THE war TO VIM

With harmony among the leaders and
I'm the ranks, with the enthusiasm that
should be born of a platform that con-
tains the sum of existing political wis
dom and with candidates that challenge
the respect and admiration Of every loyal
American regardless of party feeling, the
republicans of Montana should carry the
state this year. If they divide, if they
become ~apathetic, if they do not work to
a comm on end, they will lose.
Bryan's majority four years ago was
over 100000. That must be overcome. 1t
will be overcome if all citN ems who are
disguised with the democratic Juggling
on the silver question will vote the Iapub-
lican ticket and If all the republicans
who supported Bryan return to their
party ranks. The former silver repub-
lieans are, in fact. the main dependence
of the cause this vear and it is on thai
account that the Inter Mountain Urges
them all, as a matter of patriotic duty
n for the welfare not only of Montana
but of the nation, to rally to the support
of Mckinley and Roosevelt.
Let there be harmony and good will
and victory will rest with the republic-
ans. Those who oppose harmony are
working in the democratic interest
whether, Intentionally or ignorantly. w
do not know, but the fact remains that
they are working in the democratic In
terest.
