REFORM

There has been considerable laxlty
upon the part of the officials of the
city in the matter of maintaining an
appearance of cleanliness on Main
street. Some mornings the streets
look like those of IA small town.
where to throw things, paper and
other rubbish, cuts little figure. Here
of maintaining a city government
which costs the taxpayers pretty
sum each year. there should be made
at least an effort to keen the main
thoroughfare of the city clean. There
is an ordinance regarding the matter.
1t states distinctly that the sweepings
of store must not be thrown into
the street. but swept from the rear of
the store. No apparent attention is
paid to the matter whatever. There
should be considerable reform in this
matter. 1t would simply cost a no.
tice from the city marshal. through
an order from the city council. A
great change is readily made in the
cleanliness of a city. where everybody
turns hand in maintaining its ap
pearance. Grand Junction has not
such beautiful outlook under any
circumstances that we can afford to
advantages, hence decent regard for
the condition of cleanliness would
pay high rate of interest.

OLD MAN DEAD.
Found In a COrnfield Near
CentraIia.

Columbia, Mo-, Dee. 13.-Jo-
seph Williams, who mysteriously
disappeared Tuesday evening, was
found dead last night in II corn
field sixteen miles northeast of
Columbia. His disappearance and
death are still uncountable. Will
liams was 50 years old and in fee
bic health, though in all appear
ances in full possession of his
mental faculties. Tuesday night
according to his usual custom, he
called for his wife, an employe of
the Powers Hotel, to accompany
her home. She was busy at the
time and he said that he would
walk to his home alone, Il dis
tance of three blocks. When his
wife reached home he was not
there, and as he had, according to
her statement, never passed Il
night away from home for twenty
years, a search was at once insti-
tuted. 1t was learned that he had
walked past Stephens store, -
miles east of Columbia, on the
night of his disappearance, but
it was not until last night that his
body was found near Centralia.
An examination of the body
showed no indications of an unnat-
ural death. 1t is evident that in
spite of his age and feeble health,
he had walked in all IL distance of
30 miles in the rain and darkness
before death overlook him. AS
he seemed entirely sane at the
time of his disappearance, his
death is unaccouatable.

That Thanksgiving Sermon
The Preachers Optimism Roosevelt He
Seemed and Roosevelt as He Is.

Our readers will remember the
editorial endorsement, generally,
by the MESSAGE of Rev. a. w.
Kokendoffer's Thanksgiving SER
mon in Mexico few weeks ago
before a union meeting of the
churches of our city. We en-
dorsed especially the preachers
optimism. But we were a Ii tile
"afraid" of him. Now the follow
ing communication, handed us,
tells some of our thoughts:
On Thanksgiving Day, we had
the pleasure of hearing sermon,
in the Baptist church, by one of
our gifted ministers of the gospel.
1t was out of the usual order of
sermons and was very entertaining,
albeit its chief feature was eulo-
gy of President Roosevelt a
hearty endorsement of his posi-
ton on all leading questions of the
day.
l was somewhat amused at the
time to see how the old democrat S
sitting around me swallowed the
sugar coated pill AS for myself
| was somewhat surprised to
learn that our strenuous president
had become such fine Democrat.
and such a heroic friend of the
poor man. But then | was not
posted, as had not been reading
the "Kansas City Start" l waited
patiently, however, for the presi-
dents Message to verify the prom
ises set forth in the sermon
And 10! it was the hand of Esau,
but the voice of Jacob! Imperial
istic-highest of the high tariff
the very phraseology of Wall street

of the trusts-a eulogy of the

read it with great disappointment
and blasted hopes. l fear our
good minister was misled by that
treacherous Kansas City Star. /

the heights of Santiago, but he is
a political coward. He is afraid
to argue the question of imperial
ism. His tariff revision by an
"expert commission" simply
means no revision, aud he knew it
all the time he was saying it. Vim
the opinion of protectionists a
man cannot become tariff expert
by purchasing protected articles,
no matter how long he may contin-
ue at it, but he can become a tar
iff expert in a very short time by
going into the manufacture of some
articles the price of which is en-
hanced by an import duty" This
evasive dodge of the strenuous
president, to use Il homely express
sion, is "too thin"
His proposition on the trust is
sue is even more evasi We and dis
appointing. 1t cannot be better
illustrated than by the story told
by Mr.. Bryan: "Once man
strolling forth into field finally
came to stone fence that appeared
hard to climb. Thinking to jump
the fence the man backed off for a
running leap. He backed off a mile
and a half, then ran his best in
order to acquire the desired mo-
mentum. By the time he reached
the fence he was completely eX-
hausted and could not jump, so he
lay down in the shade and took a
nap! The president has taken a
long running start at the trusts. "
Or this other story: "a mother
in order to impress upon her son
the sufferings of the Christian
martyrs, called his attention to a
picture in which the Christians
were being devoured by the lions
in the arena. The boy looked at
the picture for while aud then,
his face lighting up as he thought
he caught the lesson taught by the
picture, he said to his mother,
pointing to one lonesome beast:
"There is one poor little fellow
that isn't getting a bit" The
president seems more concerned
lest some of the lions may not get
their share than he is to prevent
any of the lions from tasting hu-
blood"

pated women MS to state laws and
she was the equal of her husband
in all particulars. Satirical poets
of that period often pictured in
comedy the husband borrowing
money from his wife at high inter-
est rates.
Regarding woman's relations to
business, nature solves the whole
problem. Physically, woman is
mans inferior. 1t is not mere ac-
cident that as u general rule man
is assigned the ruder and more la
borious duties. Women cannot be
policemen, WELD the AK, scale the
heights, nor sail the seas. While
nature teaches of different occu-
patton she also suggests II same
ness, and in the gentler tolls wo-
man shows as much aptness as
man and is as naturally attracted
to them, There are are scores of
instances of her successes in busi-
ness lines-in the offices, in the
schools and colleges, in literature
and in medicine.

COURAGE OF WOMAN.
"And women are courageous
when put to the test. This may be
verified in the cases of Grace Dar-
ling, Kate Shelly and others. Into
the mart of the business world the
young woman should prepare to
enter. But outside of the mere
text book and drill work of the
school, in which only n few enter,
there is the responsible work of
the mother. A boy with ordinary
endowments cannot be reared by
sensible woman without being
great. 1t is scarcely possible for
II woman to rear boy into great
ness without being sensible and
educated. ! insist that young
women should have knowledge
of business, because they should
be the companions of men in bust
ness, because they should be the
companions Of men in business,
and woman never reaches the
marrying age until so fitted"

tor of the DR.. Fry Memorial NJ.
f.. church, attracted much atten-
tion in that city. 1t was on the
topic, "Young Women in Busi-
ness" a part of the sermon was
as follows:
MAN Is FAVORED.
1.-THE lords of creation have al
ways received their share of atten-
ton. | fear the gentler sex has
just right to complain Of us, as
did the little girl who once asked
her mamma, What makes the min
listers always say amen instead of
Il womenl'
Tin this country the women are
like the men-you find them in the
lowest forms of toll and i'll the
highest. But as class we some
times boast that women are nearer
their sphere in America than in
any nation on earth. AS Ameri-
cans we sometimes fancy we have
gone infinitely beyond any age in
our respect for womanhood.
"ln spite of our liberality and
boasting in this regard, liherality
as expressed in both statutes and
public sentiment, when the facts
of history are scanned, there is
doubt as to whether woman is
as free in America as she was in
Greece or even in Paulistine.
Is WOMAN NOW FREEY
Probably IA more universal edu-
cation leads larger number fo fe-
male minds to the front rank
among writers and thinkers and
moral workers, but that woman of
our age is possessed of any great
legal or social advantage, as com
pared to the best ancient nations ,
is question not so easily deter
termined. Presumptively, the
past is il good thing for a man 5
infancy, but Il poor thing for adult
mental action. You may ask what
of the boasted laws of Lycurgus,
which were an undisguised insult
to women? And, what of tn G
brilliant times of Pericles and hen
dishonorl And, what Of Egypt,
where woman was doomed to men
ial tasks and denied music and
subjected to Punishment if she
bought Il pair Of shoes. Thcs e
are the admitted facts.
