together with sample page Of The Senti-

short sketch and such information in

have appear
We are doing this entirely as news
matter and without any thought Of COM

Yours very truly,
Walter L. Wilder,
Associate Editor The Gazette.
In last Sundays issue OF the Gazette
which, by the way, was most handsome
ly illustrated with fine half tone cuts Of
leading citizens OF the state with other
special matter, appeared the plate repro
duction of the first page of The Daily
Sentinel with photograph of the editor
Of this paper.
The plate occupied over a quarter Of
a page Of the Gazette, which is large
paper and was splendid reproduction.
Had the matter published compliment
tary to The Sentinel been paid matter it
would have cost not less than a hundred
dollars
The management OF this paper felt the
compliment was not so much to the
owners of the paper but to the influence
for good which the paper has been to tho
upbuilding Of the western slope Of Colo
RADIO and to the paper which is and has
been generally recognized as the leading
paper Of the western slope by the press
of the state.
From all over the state since its publi-
cation The Sentinel has been receiving
letters of congratulation upon the publ
cation and it's owners feel pardonable
pride that the representative paper OF
this city has 80 many friends who most
cordially indorse what the Gazette did
as compliment.
A few nights ago however, a publica-
tion whose editor has occasional attacks
Of Indigestion, under the caption, "a
Torn and Bleeding Heart" published an
item stating that the editor of this paper
had been expecting something he did not
get, in the nature of what did afterward
appear in the Gazette.
The article was little too previous,
but nothing else was expected from that
publication. The item was furnished by
small boy who, until recently, was en-
trusted with the current affairs OF this
office, but who violated the privileges ac-
corded him and the trust imposed in
him and furnished the matter for the ar
ticle.
1t will doubtless be a long time before
any publication will ask for the phiz Of
that editor or reproduction Of paper
coming from the shop presided over by
the editor who seemed to take the mat
ter SO hard. 1t is quite serious enough
matter to spring thing tho nature OF
that sheet upon the people the first time,
without perpetrating such an outrage
upon them as the reproduction OF even
one copy OF it, and it is hardly probable
that anyone would tackle such a prop
osition
1t pays to wait always in matters of
the kind referred to, than to publish
something which is intended to be sar-
castle or funny, but which only turns to
prove the author ridiculous. As piece
of wit the article was about as pointless
as are most of the attempts at wit ema-
mating from him.
