telegram TO the Denver News from

seventeen prehistoric ruins in Chaco

stone buildings on the land costing $40.

The Court and the Kickers!

The question of whether there should
be term Of court 10 San Juan 5olnty
rhis spring seems to have been decided
in favor Of the negative. At the time
arrangements should have been made
for the spring term, il one was to be
| held, the prisoners who had been con.
fined awaiting the term had escaped
and there was no apparent clue to their
whereabouts Since then one of them
has been recsptured, but the court had
already postponed the term, in confor.
nifty with petition and suggestion from
citizens and taxpayers Of the county.
The criminal docket was nil, and the
civil docket comprised only a few cases,
and most Of them unimportant.
Since it has been decided to hold the
term off until October, other reasons for
such q course have presumed tnetn
selves, which would doubtless have
made such action obligatory, had it not
been taken earlier. 1t is no secret that
scarlet fever and smallpox have both
been prevalent in certain sections of the
county, and at this date they have
spread to such an extent as to make it
dangerous, to say the least, to hold a
term Of court at this time with the risk
that would be run Of further assisting
the spread of the contagious.
! judge McFie's letter on the subject,
published elsewhere ir this paper,
should be read by the taxpayers who
are interested>in the matter discussed.
Concerning objections to the postpone
ment that have come from certain guar
ters, we have nothing to offer. Every
citizen certainly has a right TO his opin-
ion, and has right to have his opinion
respected in proportion to it's value and
sense. 1t is immaterial to this Office
whether the term Of court be held now
or six months from now, but whether
we we're to advocate holding court now
or at some other time, we should expect
''kick" from somewhere wouldn't
feel good without it, We fesl, however,
that the best interest Of the county will
be served by the action taken in petit
tioning the court to postpone the term,
and 10 the granting Of the petition by
the court, and with that we are content.
Some folks would kick il they we're
playing football and with reference to
the poatponement Of court, we can hear
such people say
You won't if you will. and you viii II you
You'll be damned if you do aud be damned If
y0u don't"
