STEPHAN IS FIRM

SPENDS DAY AT ROSEMOUNT

Esopus, N. Y, July 22.-The information reached here today that Senator Arthur P. German of Maryland cannot be in- duced to alter his determination not to undertake the task of managing the cam paign, and Judge Parker was informed by the Associated Press of the dispatch from Washington that he had reiterated his decision that some younger man should be chosen. William F. Sheehan, who was the choice of yaany eastern lead CTS, was with Judge Parker at the time. He was asked whether he would now per- init his name to go before the meeting of the national committee to be held at the Hoffman house in New York on Tues day next, and replied laughingly, No body wants me for chairman"
 Then seriously he discussed briefly his own position, making it plain that he has not allowed his name to be considered by the party leaders, and that he stands firm in his refusal to serve as manager of the campaign. From his attitude he no long CT can be regarded as a possibility. Au- gust Belmont also has asserted that he will not accept an active part in the cam paign management, and thus MT. Tag gart Is the. only one of those put forward for the chairmanship who is left In the race.
 Duty of me Committee.
 Leaders in the party who have visited Rosemount have said several times that the selection of a chairman would be the unhampered duty of the national com mittee. Similar utterances have come from prominent democrats who have come from recent conferences in New York and the possibility remains that out of the uncertainty may be brought some candidate heretofore not mentioned who could at once draw the support of all factions
 While it was known that those who have remained silent preferred to learn the wishes of Judge Parker before coming forward for any candidate. 1t was certain that they would be for the man the lead CT advanced for the chairmanship If Mir. Taggart is that man they will support him but at the same time they may have some candidate to urge for recognition.
 Will Have Germans Support.
 At Rosemount apprehension is felt be- cause of Senator Germans declination. He has attended the New York confer ences and he could not take more interest in the convention Over and over again he said he would not stand in the way of party success and whoever is selected fot the chalrmanship has assurance of the cordial assistance of the experienced sena- tor.
 MT. Sheehan was at Rosemount nearly three hours today. Most of the time he was with Judge Parker.
 Arrangements were completed today to ship to Esopus thirty-one room, one story portable hotel building which can be set up in less than two weeks. The pro- motors desire a lease for four months with the provision of extending to four years.

 Young Girl Chased By Mob.
 Restless crowds filled the streets of Packing Town all day after the ordering of the second strike. Several dlsturban- ces took place in the morning and early afternoon, but no arrests were made As soon as 1t grew dark, however, especially after the news had reached the district that no agreement had been reached at the downtown conferences, smali-sized riots were numerous, and it kept the po- lice busy until far Into the night scatter ing the belligerents. In one of these dis turbances young girl named Josie Ro- minsky, who had taken strikers place in one of the plants, was mobbed by nearly thousand boys and girls. The Rominsky girl was set upon by the crowd while she was on her way home She was chased for several blocks and pelted with mud and stones. When she finally reached home she fell In heap on the doorstep, exhausted from fright and bruises.
 The girl was dragged into the house by her father before the crowd could reach her. Seeing that she had escaped them they commenced battering the house with stones and bricks. A riot call was sent in and 1t took a wagon load of policemen to disperse the youthful rioters.
 In another disturbance in the vicinity of the stoekyards, a negro, an alleged strike-breaker was attacked by a crowd of men, and before he could be rescued by the police was thrown to the ground and kicked by the mob. He was pckt up unconscious, but recovered quickly and was taken home by the police.

Thanksgiving.

Tomorrow will be celebrated the
two hundred and eighty third Ameri-
can Thanksgiving day. Governor
Bradford of the Plymouth colony of
Massachusetts, felt called upon to
thank the Divine Being for mercies
granted that pioneer colony and he
called upon thu people to devote a day
to prayer and thanksgiving.
The first proclamation for day of
Thanksgiving was issued by President
Lincoln in 1868. The principle cause
for this public announcement was the
result of the victories in tho great civil
conflict between the north and the
south.
1t was habit among the people in
the early days. after the first procla-
nation by Governor Bradford to as
semble in their places of worship and
give thanks for the blessings of the
year. Nor was the social part of the
day overlooked. but the divine service
was as great a part of the day. as to-
day it seems to be the least.
1t is to be regretted that the day is
now given over to a day of merriment
and enjoyment. This is all right
doubtless. but the pleasure would have
more SAVIOR: if the old custom of at
tending church by all had been main
tanned.
The people of Grand Junction and
of the county have much to be thank
ful for this year. Never have such
bountiful crops blessed the valley.
There was not failure or even par.
tial failure in any crop. The prices
have been generous, the city and
county have advanced on material
lines OF prosperity and one and al
should in their hearts at least bs
thankful, even if they do not Civ,
outward manifestation of their thank
fitness, by attending divine service.

1t might be recommended to those
devoted women of the east, who
have taken the Mormon question SC
greatly to heart, that they begin a
campaign of regeneration among the
gentlemen of the east to abate the
awful growing evil of the dual exis-
lance which many men and women
are leading in the large cities. It is
the rule not the exception almost now
to find men of standing and wealth
maintaining more than one establish
ment. The awful exposure of the
dual existance lead by Charles O..
Parker and Miss Gesterling has
affrighted people everywhere to the
evil.

Whenever anything is said of
complimentary nature of the President
of the United States bv any paper,
other than the republican organ. its
editor simply goes wild, as if he had
a copyw right upon anything said Of
the president. Now being an Ameri-
can citizen by birth and having been
descended from long line Of Ameri-
can citizens. we feel that " hen pre-
sident is elected he is lust as much
the president of one party as another
and so far as we are concerned we pro-
pose to compliment OF criticize him
according to our Judgment or will
without caring whether it pleases or
displeases the republican organ,
which seems TO believe 1t holds pro-
prietary interest in the gentleman.
We felt that his positi-n upon the in
ury directed against the Standard Oil
Trust was worthy of compliment and
said SO. We don't think that his po-
sition before his election upon the
trust question was as bold and aggres-
sive as it is today. Nothing was Gone
against the trusts of any material
consequence affecting the people.
But if President Roosevelt will con-
tinue ON the line indicated. beginning
with the Standard Oil trust and keep
all trusts that are inimical to the in
terests of the people. he will have ao-
complished great work.

what was written bv the ]. B. Pond

statement was made that Mr.. Riis
could be secured for lecture in this
city by guaranteeing 500 and paying
for the lecture the sum of $3.50. That
letter was sent by tho writer to U. G.

possible to secure Jacob Riis for a lee

IL used to be said that horse stealing
was dangerous occupation, in the

very little effort. In the past four

horses that were stolen few nights
ago. have been taken from this city

MISTRESS HARD TO PLEAss.

CONVICTION OF SENATOR BURTON

Legal practice, if not legal
theory, in modern times declares
that every man is entitled to be
considered innocent until after his
appeal has been reached in the
supreme court, but public opinion
is usually willing to make up its
mind in accordance with the decis-
ion of the trial jury.
The final outcome of the case
against Senator Burton is still
matter of doubt and will remain
so for several years, probably, but
so far as the general public is con-
cerned, and so far as the public
and politica! career of this senator
is concerned, the matter is already
determined. If guilty, his just
punishment is already begun; if
innocent technically or in reality,
an injustice from which there is no
escape is being inflicted upon him
The outcome of the Burton trial
following closely upon some other
cases that have been prominently
before the public encourages the
belief that the standard of Ameri-
can public life is becoming higher
than it used to be. The people
who declare that there was never
before so much wrongdoing in
public life as is now being exposed.
are looking at the matter in the
wrong way On the contrary, there
is good reason for believing that
public life is better and cleaner
now than it ever was before and it
is certain that some practices that
were once regarded as quite proper
or as merely venial offences are now
certain to expose their authors to
criminal prosecution and punish
ment.
Especially there appears to be
disposition to repudiate the false
theory that politicol association
should act as a bar to criminal
prosecution and that because pub
lie officer belongs to any particular
party, his fellow partisans should
defend him from the consequences
of his crimes or misdemeanors.
The wiser and juster view is
that the man who has been Ell
with public Office wrongs
most of all the friends and political
associates who have placed him
there, when he goes wrong. Every
public official, high or low, has in
his keepinS not only the honor OF
the community of which he is
part, but the welfare of the politi-
cal party to which he belongs and
the only way in which his fellow
partisans can defend themselves
from rightful consequences of his
misdeeds is in securing his punish
ment.
And SO today in the cases of
boodlers and of senatorial gafters
and of others that might be named.
the party in power seems to be de-
voting its energies to the exposure
and the punishment of wrongdoing,
and not to covering itup.

The Use Of Words.

Aphasia, from which Henrik Ibsen
is said to be suffering, is an affection
akin to amnesia, both Of them being
the result Of disease of the cere-
brum. But amnesia, or loss of mem.
ory. manifests itself in an inability to
recall events or words. and in the lat.
ter case the substitution of wrong
words in the place Of those intended
to be used. For instance. q brush
might be spoken Of As q comb, or q
dog as giraffe. There is no loss Of
the power Of articulation. In aphasia.
or loss Of speech, on the other hand,
the sufferer is unable to utter any
connected sentence: his speech is
often the merest babble. with an occa-

unable to read-he may have, that 1t,

Only few months since the chief OF

the trouble to restore the watch, for
which he was able to realize q
months wages at the nearest "em-

heard the owner talking of the smart
pickpockets in his own country and
the Mexican took such pride in his
own professional ability that he took
occasion to rebuke the American.
