Every little while nowadays
something is printed in tie Demo
cratic daily press intirlating tnat
President Roosevelt will have the
opposition of Morgan and the
Rockfellers il the Republicans
nominate him next year. This is
evidently the Demoeratic7 hope.
With all their pretended antipathy
to the trusts the Democrats work
earnestly on the quiet to effect a
political combination with them.
Nowhere has this been more fully
demonstrated than right here in
our own state, where the Democrat
10 party in complete control OF the
xovernment and the trusts in eon-
plete control of the Democratic
party. If President Roosevelt has
the animosity of the trust mag
natos there must be some reason
for it-that bis position and t'le
policy of the party which supp .ort,
him, are inimical to trust int.rests
Both parties are denuncis,tory o
the trusts, but the Repnbliea il
the only party which has carrie'
its antagorism against the erlroaeh
meuts of che monopolies u,pon ths
rights Of the people to a point Q
open warfare. If the next grea
political battle in this country is t.
be cue for supremacy Of the mon
led interests or of the people the Re
:publicans will be foDaad upon tn
side of the latter, making a bol'
and open stand for right under tn
leadership of Theodore Roosevelt

statutes to his own liking and ad-
vantage. The Missouri legislature
passed law reducing the fees of
the coal oil inspector for St. Louis
to $1,000, all above that amount
collected TO be turned into the
state treasury. The present coal
oil inspector in ST. Louis, like his
predecessors, held the law to be
unconstitutional and retained all
the fees, until Mr.. Folk and his
grand jury began to question the
legality of such conduct on part
of the inspector. One day last
week $4,000 of this withheld
money was coughed up and turned
into the state treasury. This is
but another instance to show how
the machine made officials in Mis-
souri, hold themselves as superior
to the statutes. In the manipnla-
ton of tho school fund the organic
law Of the state was set aside that
the school money might be appro-
priated and dissipated in tue COM
mon expenditures of the state.
When the time came that this NAL
feasance was brought up 20 the
party in contlol it remedied the
matter by having law made to
legalize its illegal act through the
aid of ballot box stufing in the
larger cities of the state where
state machine boards control. The
coal oil inspectors weakened too
soon, they should have held onto
their graft and called unto their
aid the state machine, which could
probably have fixed it SO that none
of the withheld funds need have
been given up, at least none to the
state, though the machine would
have asked few thousand proba-
bly, for its campaign fund. No.
where but in machine-ruled Mis-
souri, is individual opinion superior
to the statutes. Will the light
ever break upon befooled and
confdenced people?

The Average Mar.

President Reoseve,t's sermon of
last Sunday was 0 fine example of
homiIetic eloqu>snce-plain, prasti-
cal and wise.
One OF t,ne presidential aphor-
isms is especially timeiys "The
state will be saved if the Lord puts
it into the heart of the average
man so to shape his life that the
state will be worth saving, and
only on those terms"
The ultimate Upon which all
rests is the average. This fixes
the place of nation-rather than
sporadic genius. -
Average intellect, average vir
tues-these make national charae
ter. When this is soand, the ma
ton prospers, whenit decays th'
nation dies, and a multitude o1
peniuses eannot save it from de
struction.
1t is uBwise to dwell too muei
upon cases of great wrongdoing
They are so exceptional that they
prove nothing. ,Nuner ous as they
are, the, are too few to Justify
generalization.

Death Of Jack Burns.

Old-timers will be pained to learn
of the death of John T. Burns, which
occurred near Santa Fe, n. NJ, on
Sunday, August I'd. On the morning
of the day of his death, deceased was
in unusually good health. Without
warning hemorrhage OF the lungs set
in and he expired despite every etfoIt
to save him.
For several years deceased has suf-
fered with lung troubles. At the
time Of his taking off, accompanied
by his family, he was on the way to
Meeker, hoping change would be
beneficial. He had stopped off for n
few days, near Santa Fe, visiting
friends, when the dread summons
came.
Jack Burns was one OF the first set
tiers in this valley. He was man
of genial disposition and well spoken
of by all the old-timers. He leaves u
widow, youngest daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. b. F. Goff of this place, and two
children, a boy of twelve and and 3
girl OF eleven.
On last Saturday morning, Joe Gofl
left for Santa Fe to bring his sister
and children to Meeker.

David H. Moffat talked yesterday
of the railroad he is building through
the western empire of Colorado to
Salt Lake, and as this is the favorite
of his many undertakings for the
state, he must Of necessity talk inter-
estingly. 1t is something near to his
heart. Mr.. Moffat was In the East
for u month on other business and
since his return he has heard encour-
aging reports from his managers OF
the progress of the undertaking.
"'I am doing this for Denver. !

FAMILIES or "BAD" MEN.

One of the peculiar phases Of life
is seen in the love that chad" men
have for their wives and children.
By chad" men we generally mean
those lawbreakers who thrive in
communities by the purchase Of
protection from law upholders. If
you please, let Tom Gould be men
toned as a type or '"The" Allen,
though | do not know anything
about their families. Men Of that
stamp, with their hands ever against
their fellow men, living only to edo"
them, usually have happy homes.
The family ties are sacred. The
gamblers daughter is the light of
his soul, and his only holy ambition
is to shield her from knowledge of
his moral obliquity. [ could name
a dozen such men in New York
whose names are as well known as
District Attorney Jerome's. No
matter how black the record against
them on the outside, within the
threshold of their homes they be-
come loyal husbands and indulgent
fathers.-New Y ork Press.
