should be followed by the democracy
of Crawford. We see no honest reason,
aud no good purpose, for the Bulletins
course in seeking to cover up ana oe-
little acts of carelessness and extrava-
gance simply because the perpetrators
and beneficiaries are democrats. Inc
Bulletin should rise to that larger view
which places the welfare of the people
above that of party: which is not a
fraid to characterize carelessness and
incompetency as such, let the chips
fall where they may.
1t isas much the money of democrats
as of republicans that has been wasted,
lost or illegally expended. The demo-
Gratis have had opportunity all this
year, to do their own house-cleaning.
Their officers have refused or neglected
to make restitution; their convention
has not only failed to express itself,
but has placed the same men before
the people. Is it not time that the
people took hand and declared that
business sense and the laws of Iowa
must be supreme in the conduct of the
affairs of Crawford county?
The republicans should name first
class ticket. There is plenty of good
material. And good men should con-
sent to make sacrifice for the welfare
of their party if called upon to do so.
For our part we would rather go down
to glorious defeat, with ticket of good
mon, than to win with men for whose
conduct we might have cause to blush,
were they elected. There is no danger
of such nomination being made, as
there has not been a name thus far
mentioned, that we have heard. that
would not grace the ticket and assure
good, honest administration if elected.
We believe the republicans should
present the issue of good county gov
eminent fairly and squarely to the peo-
Pile. We have had enough Of incompe-
tency and carelessness and mal-adnNin-
istration. The bulk of our taxes are
local taxes. 1t is of the greatest i'm
portance that these taxes be honestly
and carefully expended.
There is no sense, for instance. in
Crawford county's paying the expenses
of insane persons year after year, when
the patient has sufficient property 20
defray all these expenses. No one will
deny but that this has been done. and
is done, until, as the Bulletin says.
Tour insane expense is one of the larg-
est of any of the counties in the state. )"
There is no sense in hundred and
one things done by the board of super
visors with the peoples money.
There Is no sense in presenting the
sheriff with $3.50 last year, and no
sense in the board taking no measures
to get the money back.
There was no sense in the bono sale
fizzle, whereby Crawford county lost
hundreds IF dollars.
The democrats are trying to dodge
this i,su'; their organ refuses TO dis.
cuss it. or even to make statement Of
the faets. Ii is time that the republi.
cans presented the facts to the people.
The Deliver Heralu is opposed to
permitting candiia te- 10 select their

about the subject at issue,
There is always great deal of clap
trap and sophistry attendant upon any
proposed municipal reform. This is
for the purpose of misguiding and
binding the unthinking masses of
voters to certain distasteful facts. The
upholders of the theory of municipal
ownership of electric light tell us that
the corruption and frauds of the pres
ont day have been caused by the acts
of private corporations; that they
buy and bribe city officials. and that
municipal ownership will stop all
which cities are suffering. If thi )
condition exists. as they claim and
city officials can be bought and brib-
ed by corporations. it is not certain
that, when such men have the hand
ling of the funds involved where the
city owns the plant. they would Ger
tainly supply themselves with funds
at the ciuy's expense? To believe the
statements of the reformers. these ar
dent advocates of the peoples rights.
we must concede that all the rascals
on earth belong to the corporations
and that only the pure and holy are to

ringsters and bosses. There must be

ty by jury of their peers There is
not law abiding man or woman in
Grand Junction Today who would not
deplore the hasty execution by lynch
law of an alleged murderer at the
hands of prejudicial, biased and un-
governable mob led by few rabid ag-
itators. LET the law take its course
and after fair trial let the accused
be either sentenced or acquitted. "
This would be the general conclusion
of opinion. But would trial where
in only one side of the evidence was
heard and the arguments for the de-
fense were barred be considered un-
fair? Would. L ask you. the jurymen
who only heard the evidence for the
prosecution without one word on the
side of the defense be QUALIFIED to rem
der just and impartial verdict? ?
There is no need to answer the uues-
tion.
But such is the unenviable position
which Private Ownership finds itself
in today. The taxpayers of this city
are asked to decide the question at the
polls and to render verdict as to
whether the defendant shall be acauit
ted or executed.

Dumn.' Wealth and Poverty.

AlcNandre Dumas rise to wealth and luxury was almost as marvellous as that ot his most celebrated hero. He built magnificent chateau, which he named Monte-Christo. There he enter tained an corners, friend and stranger alike. with more than oriental magnih- cence and sometimes with oriental mystery. His purse was open to all who sought lt. and the day came when he experienced Timon's fate without acquiring TimOn's disposition. He could not become a misanthrope, though bis fortune disappeared almost as suddenly as it came, and then he learned the ingrautude of men. Ills last days were passed not in poverty, but in narrow circumstances. He left Paris ln the fall of 1870 just as the German army was closing fin to besiege lt and when France was feeling its deepest woe. To the last he preserved his gayety and youthful spirit. "I had but one napoleon in my pocket when ] Grst came here," he said. "I go away with two. and yet they call me a spendthrift~
