TERRIBLE cOsSAcK.

John Brispin Walker of the Cosmo-
politan says that the war of the future
W i'll be the Cossack against all the
rest of civilization. In his last mum
ber of his magazine he plays the
alarmist in great style One might
think that Mr.. Walker was born with
the seventh sight. from the truly re-
markable predictions lie makes about
the prospective war.
He pictures the Cossack as overrun-
ming all Europe and simply taking
by superior numbers what he wants,
treasure, government and what not.
From the four hundred million peo-
pie Mr.. Walker believes that they can
afford to lose enough millions to
simply overrun civilization.
Prehaps Mr.. Walker knows. we
certainly do not feel able to criticize
him in his alarming prognostications.
but we really don't think that the
Cossack would have much show
He backs his alarming ic ure M

north. would have to fight the Cossac k
a hundred years from that time al d
that was along about 1911. Eut then
Napoleon was suffring from very
bad case of undigested invasion in the
Ears domain.
1t has been known that forssyears
regular plan of action has been fol-
lowed looking toward one end. the
aauirement or dismemberment of the
Chinese empire. The Cossack has
designs, this is unquestionable. but
we think that he will hardly include
this nation in his fell purposes.
Mr.. Walker thinks that it will fall
to England and the United States to-
make him abandon his overturninR of
empires and peoples.

THE SUCCESS OF INDIVIDUALITY.

From the writing of one of the
worlds greatest philosophers we
find this metaphor:
Individuality makes the coun-
trv.u What a world of truth IS con-
tanned in those few words, And
how well this simple but wonderful
logical truth has made itself mani
fest in the history of the growth
and development of everything that
is pure and beautiful in romance, IN
facts, and in the poetry of the world.
In every community of this great
country of ours we see and have
about us individuals whose every
impulse beats forth something that
is good for every individual and for
the community as a whole. Every
effort that is brought forth, having
for its object the continued growth
and welfare of any certain section
is nurtured and inspired, and its IL
nal consummation for success is
brought about by individuality.
While it is true every patriotic
citizen rejoices in the growth and
expansion of the community III
which he lives yet the great work to
bring this growth is confined to the
efforts of the few. Grand Junction
has many grand opportunities for its
continued growth. We have in the
metropolis men who have in the
past made many sacrifices in order
that our city and the surrounding
country, with all of their manifold
advantages, might be made known
to the outer world, and these same
men are willing to continue their
labors Just as assidously in the fu-
ture as they have in the past. But
is this enough? Should not every
citizen of Mesa county assist these
patriotic men? If this were done,
not even the most sanguine could
realize the wonderful results that
would follow. We have room in
Grand valley for thousands more in
dustrious citizens. 1t is up to all of
us to bring them here. Let not the
work be confined to the few. If we
all do our part we will soon have in
Grand Junction city of many
thousands of inhabitants and a sur
rounding country that will blossom
and bring forth everything that will
be necessary for the comfort of all /.

A FALLEN IDOL.

President Roosevelt's pet. General
Leonard Wood. who has been pictured
in such brillian colors. is made simply
of clay after all. The manner in
which he attempted to discredit his
superior officer, General John r.
Brook. who was governor general of
Cuba Immediately afte- the war,
shows him man of very small parts.
Wood was raised to his position
whose head had grown hoary in the
service of his country. This was done
because of President Roosevelt's lik-
ing for him and not because of his
military qualifications. The public
shut its eyes to this partiality of the
president and of the injustice of
Woods promotion over much better
men. simply because the country
wanted to please the president.
Now it turns out in the army in
vestigations in progress regarding
Woods conduct in Cuba. that he was
almost reasonable. He fomented strife
and discord while he was in command
at Santiago and inspired newspaper ar
ticles glorfying himself and belittling
General Brooke.
Brooke as military leader is
Woods superior hundred fold.
Brooke fought all through the rebel
| ion and made a glorious record.
At Spottsylvania there were few
greater generals engaged than he.
| Brooke is from Pottstown. bonn there.
We are proud of him OF course we
will stand up for him. because he is
not only an honorable soldier and
fought we'll for his country. but in the
Espano- Ameican war. he was shunt-
ed into inferior service and such MIN
compoops as Shafter and SO ne of his
kind. pushed over his head into SER
vice command.
Brooke is retired from the service
now. He was at the head of the army
for a very short time. but he deserved
| to have had greater honors. He be-
longed to the citizen soldiery of the
nation. He was not West Pointer. but
he could fight and that is what a
whole lot of the tinsel soldiers could
not do.
1t is to be hoped that President
Roosevelt will let Wood now take the
punishment he deserves. He not only
| took advantage of the friendship that
the president held for him. but
thought to elevate himself by pulling
down his superiors on the presump-
tion that his friend, the president.
would not listen to ANYTHING deroga-
tory to him. true or untrue. 1t looks
as if the President expects him to
disprove the charges against him or
take the dishonor. The testimony Of
Brooke. while not rancorous is all
fired convincing that Wood was little
short of poltroon.
