SCHOOL NOTES.

The correspondence committee regret
that they have failed in courtesy toward
the worthy juniors. Hereafter it shall
be their aim to report in full the affairs
OF said class. The slight was uninten-
tional and we disclaim the ISLAM"
accusing US of partiality to our own
class. II the juniors will report their
receptions, social meetings, etc. which
being secret affairs, are never heard OF
by the committee, to the chairman, due
mention will be made Of them.
Miss Alta Stewart, president OF the
junior class was absent Monday on
account Of illness.
The Excelsior Literary rendered a
good program last Friday. Instrumental
selections by Miss Amsbary OF the
freshman class, and Miss Ingersoll OF
the juniors we're especially appreciated.
Miss Nina Merrill, Of the junior class,
visited her parents at Olathe last Friday
staying over Saturday and returning
Sunday. While there she attended the
commencement exercises Of the Olaths
high school.
Miss Ethel Bear, secretary Of the
juniors, will render paper on sour
President this afternoon at the regular
session Of the Eros Literary society.
Various topics are to be assigned the
members OF the American Literature
class upon which topic the pupil to (which
it is assigned will become authority.
Miss Gertrude Ashe OF the juniors has
been given the topic rranscendentalism
upon which she has given an interesting
talk.
The only boy Of the jnnior class is
Earl Gheen. Some fear is felt that he
will be irredeemably spoiled FROM over
petting yet we trust his head 10 too level
to be turned by fattery and blarney.
A junior entertainment is rumored,
yet nothing definite is known at present.
Watch for developments.
The juniors are justly proud OF the
musical talent displayed in Its class.
Three OF the members are accomplished
musicians, while one OF tn. remaining
three has good voice.
We, the committee. have mad. an
extra endeavor to mention all junior
affairs. II any have been ommitted it
has been through ignorance Of ye com
mittee.
Who are? who are? who are wei We are the
Juniors Of 1908

will be an expense to prosecute
criminals and those who uphold
this criminal element are them
selves criminals at heart. The
citizens of Delta should not be
fooled by these underhanded
methods of those who havs Ii tile
interest here or elsewhere. The
taxes of Delta have been much
higher during saloon administra-
tions than they are at present.

Hon. Thomas G. Brown OF Gunnison.
is candidate for judge OF the court OF
appeals. Besides the vacancy which
exists by the retirement OF Judge Will
son, the legislature has provided for two
additional judges to serve for six years
and Mr.. Brown wants one Of theee
places. He has good support from the
Western Slope, which ought by this
time be entitled to some recognition at
least by the governor. These two add
tional judges are only TO relieve tho
temporary need Of the court, and at tho
end Of six years the Office will expire
unless the legislature sees fit TO continue
it. A bill has passed the senate for a
constitutional amendmentt to consolidate
the court Of appeals with the supreme
court. II this one passes it will do
away with the entire court OF appeals,
inclu1ing the two special judges. 1t is
estimated that by the close OF the six
years the docket OF the court OF appeals

"THAr GRAND JURY"

There is a feeble effort being
made by those that never see any
good in anything to make cam
paign matter out of the calling of
the special grand jury for Delta
county. They do not take into
consideration the good that has
been done Delta county by that
action. 1t is true that things of
this kind come little high some
times, but considering the fact
that three of the worst boot-legging
establishments in the county
has been broken up, it is cheap at
any price. The calling of the
grand jury did not cost anything
like what is claimed by un-
scrupulous individuals, and too,
there were fines that went q long
ways toward cancelling the ex-
pense. If it was not for these
same parties that are doing the
knocking now, against everybody
and everything and upholding this
lawless element "that grand jury"
would never have been necessary.
1t has always been and always

During the happy halcyon days

During the happy halcyon days
of our saloons here two years ago
our pleasant, quiet, peaceable
little city had thirteen robberies
in the course of four months.
Thirteen. is always an unlucky
number and thirteen in these
thirteen cases was more than un-
usually unlucky. Now we do not
believe that the voters want to
have such a condition exist as is
brought about very largely by
having saloons in our midst.

A FEW THOUGHTS ON
THE LICENSE SYSTEH.

Why should we license saloons
in Delta? Do we need saloons to
make us happys Are they neces-
sary to our well being as city 2
Are they means cf building the
town? Must we have saloons here
to attract trade9 Are they a means
by which to advertise our town to
the outside worldj Do the most
desirable class of people seek a
town where there are saloons to
make homes for their families.
IS it absolutely necessary that
we have saloons to raise we'll regu-
lated families! Must we have sa-
looms to keep the boys from learn
ing to use liquor? Is it the best
way to keep liquor from habitual
drinkers to have saloons to tempt
them to stop drinkings
Is it the most reasonable way to
keep liquor from men who spend
the money that their families need
for the necessaries of life to put
open saloons in our midst! Is it
necessary for the business men of
Delta to have saloons here SO that
the parties who are owing them
can pay their honest debts more
readily! Is it for the reason that
when man gets drunk or partly
SO lie will have SO much more
money to pay with, or is he SO
much more free with his money
that he will pay his bills SO much
better under the "Influencel"
Is our community benefited
morally to such great extent by
saloons that we should 30 eagerly
wish for them2 Do saloons make
us better citizens, better neigh
bors, more law abiding, more hon
est, less liable to crime, better
parents, better childrenl
Do saloons, with the vice and
crime following, make US mentally
stronger! Can we reason better,
are our minds clearerl
Yes, but think how much lon
ger lived we will be Why, some
people declare we will live to be a
hundred years old or even less un-
der saloon system. Now we hear
nearly every day from some one
''There is more liquor sold in
Delta than when we had saloons. ;"
But this statement is utterly false.
Any honest, fair minded person
who will take the trouble to inves-
tigate the matter will find the
statement entirely out of the way.
Talking with man who is in n
position to know, he said, sat a
very conservative estimate there
was at least ten times as much
liquor shipped in as there is now.
A very conservative man of our
town estimates that there were at
least $4,000 worth more of liq
uor sold here each year that we
had saloons than at present. Who
should get this $4,000? 1t real
ly belongs to the families of WON
Ell and children of this community
who can ill afford to lose it.
