La Junta tribune., 1904-11-26

The safeguard OF democracy is
that no one body should have ex
cessive power. The national gov
ernment appears to be in patt,cu
larly good condition for practicing
remedies for this evil. The presi.
dent has come out without equivo
cation against another term. He
has quieted suspicious about per
sonal ambition. !e can ignore
those politicians who hate him
and his higher ways. Mr.. Cortel-

MIR. Roosevelt said in his angry
letter before election. His ene-
mics are discounted. He is on
the top wave Of prosperity and
power. We expect the trus,

his second administration with

APPEARANCES indicate that the
president intends to have cabi.

The Tumor that Senator Spooner
would be made attorney general
may be disposed of by the fact
that that position has been offered
to Ex-Governor Black OF New

The promptness with which the
president Furnishes wrong doing,
insubordina,ion aud unprofession-
al conduct in office, illustrated by
the recent dismissal OF three
judges in Alaska, whose integrity
was called in question, a clerk in
the the postofilce department., and
surgeon in the army, who, being
married man. professed to be
single, is only equaled by the
hearty Endorsement and encourage
ment he gives to those who have
served him and the public well.
Those in the employ of :he execu
tive branch OF the government
know by this time exactly what to
expect from President Roosevelt.

This Is the season when every
family man prepares to 60 down
in his pocket AMI spend few or a
good many dollars Tor the good OF
himself and those dependent on
him. Winter clothing must be
bought for every member Of the
household from its head down TO
the smallest toddIer. Fall house,
cleaning usually reveals the fact
that 4 new carpet, or two or three
pieces Of new furniture must be
purchased. And whether one
happens 10 be the head OF = fami-
ly or not, il is 1ll the same; the
approach Of winter makes 1t nec-
essary for him or her to buy few
things which would otherwise be
unnecessary.
This is also the season when
every man and woman and every
child who is old enough to have
accumulated few nickels begins
to think OF Christmas shopping.
The demands OF Christmas cannot
be evaded by any self respecting
human being. Certain people are
sure to give US presents and we
may as we'll make up our minds to
do the graceful thing in return
Whether we think we can afford il
or not. we are simply compelled
to spread ourselves for Christ
mas-and when the great day
comes we are always heartily glad
OF il. Now there is one thing the
people OF La Junta should keep in
mind when deciding what to buy
at this season and every othes
season-SPEND YOUR MONEY
AT HOME. Don't think that be-
cause this is not city OF 100, 900
or I, 900, 900 population you can
not get value received fos every
cent you spend here. You can
The experience Of hundreds has
proved il. Before sending away
to house you do not know Tor
goods you can not see, go to .
local store and find out for your
self whether or not your home
merchant can supply you as good
an article at as low a price as the
fascinating catalogue describes.
A great many people are victims
Of the mail order habit. They get
handsomely illustrated catalogues
from some concern in the East,
and in some inexpIicable manner
they conceive that the goods des-
cribed in such glowing terms must
be better than anything to he OBJ
tanned at home. They overlook
the fact that in order to pay
freight on the goods the Eastern
concern must charge little high
er price than the home merchant.
They 60 to the trouble OF writing
two or three letters, waiting two
or three weeks for delivery-and
then when their purchase arrives

least the same money and without

But there is another side to this
nail order business. Money sent

Just so much taken out OF the

That Eastern concern you arc

iutely nothing to the support ol
this place. On the other hand il
saps out vitality by taking money
away from us.

KIDNApPERS
OF DOGS ARE BUSY IN ORDER TO
GET THE REWARDS
OFFERED.
Number of Dogs Stolen and Concealed
Until Lost" Advertisement Appears
in the Want" Columns of
the Telegram.

Kidnappers are abroad in the land.
Only a week ago the Telegram told
about two young men carrying young
girl away from her home at Rinehart.
Since then it has dawned upon the city
that there are other Kind of kiinappers
ana Judging from The 'lo+t" advertise
ments in the TeIcgram's very popuar
want columns, these fellows have Civ
en- their entire attention TO dogs.
1t is claimed they take possession of
every dog they get their eyes on and
keep them IN hiding until reward is
offered for their return. a number OF
dogs have been taken in this way and
for tnis purpose and the rewards have
been Forthcoming. But at last ii has
been revealed that some people are max
ing business of kidnapping dogs and
there is likely 10 be some trouble soon.
It can be felt in the atmosphere and
men who think as mucn Of their dogs us
they do VI themselves are about to start
out on the war-path and it looks rather
mhealJhy for the dog kidnapper.

Strong Suspicious by Some That
Such Society Caused the Death
of Mine Boss Frank FIaherty at
pinniCkinniCk Mine.
All Foreigners So Far Arrested Admit They Were
There When the Killing Occurred but Evidently
Sworn to Secrecy They Say They Do Not Know
Who Did It,

The failure OF the officials to obtain
any information from those who have
been arrested in connection with the
muiuer Of Frank Faherty, late mine
boss at the Pinnickinnick coal mine,
leads TO the conclusion that there may
may be regular alafia gang in this
section of the country. The fact has
been established that several foreigners
had been discharged and they did not en-
terbain a very friendly feeling toward
Faherty, in fact, some of them had made
threats TO six" the boss, meaning Flah-
erty. The circumstances point to well
laid plot to kill him and it Is stated that
he was reluctant to attend the dance.
fearing that harm might be done him,
OF that he might at lease get into trouble
with some of Those who mad it in Tor
him.
In every instance all the men who
have been arrested were at the dance.
Most of them admit that much, but they
profess to know nothing about how il
happened, or who did it. They have
all oeen put in the "sweat box and the
most searching inquiry has been made.
Some of them We're pressed 50 hard that
they actually came to tears aad Sromed
sorely distressed, hut all the ppii.J J was
in vain, and the officers know but little
more about the circumstances than they
did-nt the beginning OF the Investigation.
1he last to undergo the ordeal Of the
"sweat box" was Felix Gowaldo. the
foreigner who was arrested Wednesday
night by Constable Guy Merritt and
otiiers and jailed. He was questioned
closely Thursday night by Ignatius Ed
inger, who has been the interpreter in
the case all along. But the inquiry fail
ed so far as getting any other informa-
tion THAT that he was present at the
dance, when the murder occurred.
There is scarcely a doubt that all
these fellows know who did the killing
and how it was done, but it may be they
have been sworn to secrecy, just as the
rules OF the Malta society require.
The latest version OF the matter is
that Flaherty was murdered in the room
and his body then thrown out. The
scratches and bruises on his face might
have been the result of the body coming
in contact with the edges of the porch
and the frozen ground, hut since there
were four or five women present, it is
possible tlrat in their frenzy some Of
these jumped onto him after he fell in
the room and tried to scratch his eyes
out
The indications Of the existence Of the
sort OF society mentioned are 50 strong
that the matter should be thoroughly
Investigated from this view point and
measures taken to crush il out. If it
ae+ualy exists.
