There are great number of peo
pie who believe the government IS
legitimate prey for spoilaton of all
kinds. If they cannot get their
hooks in one way they will in some
other. A great army of clerks
in the pension building are now
cussing John c. Bell because Mr..
Bell has introduced bill, which
will deprive them oil government
holiday ever four years over and
above the holiday they receive each
wear. OF one month. His bill is to
save the pension building and all
other buildings from being de-
spoiled by inaugural ceremony
decorations and the decorations at
other functions, which have marred
and dis6gured public buildings.
AT each inaugural ceremony it re-
quires week to prepare the pension
building and week to tear down
and restore to normal condition.
During this period the government
continues to pay salaries, approxi-
mating $4,000 This immense
sum Of money does not comPre>
hend any Of the repairs to buildings,
etc. To put stop to this waste
and despoiling of public buildings
is the intent Of Mr.. Bells bill.
1t is a righteous proposal to save
our beautiful national structures
and also to make the government
clerks attempt to earn their salaries.

Whatever the outcome may be
from oil exploration, the people OF
Grand Junction will be ready and
capable of caring for same. IT big
discoveries are made in oil and a
consequent boom, it will be cared
for in proper manner, the city hav>
ing been planned for future
growth. If we should be so unfor
tunate as to fail in our expectations
in oil discoveries, there are abun>
dant resources to urge forward new
industries and continued growth.

Superintendent Miller presented
no argument in retutation of what
the News said in criticism of an
article in Our Public Schools, edit

structures made against Prof Miller
were principally against a theory
advanced on children being born
short Prof Miller would more
dutifully perform the functions OF
his high office, in our judgment, If
he was less ready with his pen for
public print. If Prof Miller un-
dertakes to fight every criticism

Expected
AUTHORITIES CONCERNED
Conference Between County
and Local Health Boards
May Be Called

The fact that the advent of warmer
weather has not had the expected effect
of decreasing the number of cases of
smallpox is causing the authorities no
little concern, and Director Michael B..
Holmes, of the Board of Freeholders, IS
considering the advisability of calling a
conference Of the different municipal
health boards with the County Board of
Health, to consider what general plan is
best to adopt to check the spread of the
disease.
Therearestill nearly 150 smallpox victims
being cared for at the Contagious Disease
and Isolation Hospitals at Snake HILL
and the type of the disease is now more
virulent than at any time since the pres
ent outbreak began.
The largest number of cases under treat
ment at any one time this year has been
112 and The surprisingly small decrease
considering the favorable weather conGi-
tions is a cause of much speculation as
well as anxiety
County Physician Converse in predict
ing the present outbreak of smallpox two
years and a half ago, said that in the
second year the disease would be more
virulent in form than during the first
year. He also expressed the belief that
the epidemic, if such it may be calle1,
would not last over two years, although
there would be sporadic cases for some
time afterwards.
AS a result fthe County Physicians
predictions, the outbreak of the disease
found Hudson better able to provide for
the care of its patients than any other
county of the State, but the fact that

The Dogberry was alone in his office al
eight o'clock when the tandem stopped.
That no preparation had been made for
