Special TO The Journal. - 'r
New York, April 4.-Traders in the
stock market did not know exactly
how to take the Northern Securities
situation and Of course put a pesstmis-
tic construction on it. The result
was very feverish and irregular
market. Later the feeling was that
the Hartman suit was necessary in
any event, owing to the difference ex-
listing between the parties in interest.
Mr.. Hill said he was not disturbed
by Harriman's action, in fact, he was
not surprised at anything Hartman
did.
Union Pacific made sensational
advance at the opening Of the mar
ket, while Southern Pacific and st.
Paul declined abruptly. About noon
Union Pacific dropped IN and the
whole market became weak. It is
understood that Messrs. Hill and Nor
gan bought large amounts Of Union
Pacific to strengthen their position.

A great many people i'll this and
other towns of the same size, talk
glibly about securing the press
franchise and using it. OF course
they know nothing about its cost
and they are to be excused for the
lack of this knowledge This city
had an experience once with a press
franchise. AT that time the city
was not so large as at present, that
is true, but the advertising in the
paper that controlled the franchise
was paid for at a rate two and a
half times greater than the highest
rate paid per inch in this city now.
But the unthinking one will say
there was not SO many advertisers.
Yes there were. The town was i'll
its early formative state then and
anybody and everybody advertised
to help support the paper that was
established for the sole purpose of
booming the incipient city. That
press franchise did not bust the
town, but it made everyone who
had anything to do with it at that
time awfully weary, both in mind
and pocketbook. 1t did not bust
any of the stockholders, but it
cost them heaps of agony. A fair
sample and comparison of its cost
can be made by saying that the dis
play advertising in almost anyone
of the city papers here now, does
not exceed the actual cost of the
press tolls very much. This does
not take into consideration the cost
of setting it up. Grand Junction
will need a press franchise some
day and at a no distant day, but
burned fingers don't play with fire
and when the time comes The Sen
tinel will give the city what it de-
mands. But good business judg-
ment would simply be greatly lack
ing for any paper to attempt to
carry such a burden now One way
only could it be done. The way
some theatrical companies exist for
a short period and that is by dis
covering some good angel"

A syndicated page of the magazine

which electricity is being put today.
The page is illustrated and shows
women cooking, ironing, running g

on an ice cream freezer, churnina
butter, propelling fans and hundred
other uses. The motive power is an
electric current taken from day cur
rent wire. The article attached to
the illustrated page recited the cost
sets forth the advantages to be enjoy
ed from the use of the electric spark
and measures its economy with other
methods of work. Here in Grand
Junction the public has been anxious
ly waiting the inauguration of day
electric current. One was promised,
the announcement made through the

waiting. Grand Junction people are
patient and are willing to wait. bat
they want the means to use this power.
The Electric lighting company say they
cannot see their way clear to provide
tins day current. In other words
they don't feel that they shoulu be
asked to provide such current unless
profitable ON the start. They desire
to take no risk increasing the use suf-
ficiently to pay them for operating.
If that is their position then they
should not feel aggrjeved IN the least
if an effort is made by those directly
interested looking to the securing of
the desired power. Grand junction
is sufficiently large to feel the neces-
sity of such current and there is a de-
cided demand to investigate means to

Potatoes have not been generally re-
garded AS profitable producing crop
of the Grand valley, until within the
last year or more. 1t is fact that
they brought fair prices for home con-
sumption and for local shipment. but
we did not aspire TO become factor
in the pot atoe crop of Colorado. The
freight tariffs, however. now granted
has permitted us to send out our crop
and it has measured more than well
with the potatoes of any other of the
famed districts of Colorado. When
an acre of potatoes will produce a
net revenue of from forty to forty five
dollars an acre, as they did in this
valley last year, they become a most
important factor in the crops of the
valley. Those who grew potatoes
the past two years have made money
and made it without much worry. We
are going to grow along the potato
line or we miss our guess greatly.

The vagaries of the untutored war
correspondent are beginning to make an
intelligent public weep. The Chicago
Chronicle has a special representative
in Japan who telegraphs ii that the
Russians were supposed to be lombard
ing Fukuyama, which is a place about
1oo miles from the coast. Evidently the
Russians have long guns or the CORE
spondent a long bow. Another dis
patch announces that the japanese
have landed marines at Dalny. If there
were any marines in the japanese Navy
the story could still be questioned on
the ground that marines are not landed
at any enemy's fortified port unless the
commander wants them to be captured
or killed.

A BABE IN ARAoR.

The theory of our costly and complies
system of island government is thai
we can't be Americans without it
But Americans when they were starting
in without much money, had no suct
| topheavy scheme of political admins
tration. They relied mainly on the
town meeting. After the revolution, uf
to the advent of the Constitution
things ran along on town meeting
basis. When the Union was organized
states adopted the principle that tbs
government which governs best gov
ems least; and they did not show III
with large expenses or per-onnel. Where
counties were laid out the people made
one do for an area which now includes
twenty and let town meetings attend
to the rest under definite limit of
town outlay, regulated by the assess
ment roll. Such an area as Hawaii
would have been too small to make
into a county. AS the population in
creased and waxed rich, the govern
ment grew with it; but the latter was
never much in advance of the need.
Hawaii, beginning somewhat as
Rhode Island did over a century ago,
was not satisfied, as Rhode Island was,
to cut it's system of government to its
means and to the number of its tax
payers. Instead it wanted to thrust
upon itself system which had grown
up elsewhere in process of generati tons
and had become fitted to the interests
of millions. Though a creeping baby
itself Hawaii demanded and got the
armor of a fuIl-sized knight and has
been clogged and tormented with it
ever since. Hardly able to lift its head
it asked for and got that Excalibur
which can only be welded by the
robust commonwealth; and its attempts
to lift the sword have ruptured it and
may yet break it's back.
Nor is the end of the foolishness. at
hand. Some people want little Hawaii
to take on more burdens. There are
those, whose eyes are OH the United
ot@teS foeHdIe, WHO IHIiiA the place
needs Statehood. Yet the plain, COM
of the situation is that a
pocket borough with, say, $4,000
white people, including Portuguese,
he rest of a population of
$4,000 being Polynesians and Asiatics, |
could hardly support the municipal
,ory1, of government with 11t an, otI,ar |
md expect to have reasonable taxes.

SAITH AND sMooT.

In4admitting that he had violated the
laws of the country against polygamy,
President Smith, the head of the Utah
Beasthood, lays himself open to prose-
cution under the Edmunds Act 1t
must be assumed, from his admission,
that he contracted plural marriage
since the. Edmunds Act went into force.
The United states authorities can
hardly afford to overlook this circum-
stance and may be expected to proceed
against Smith as they have against
others of lesser prominence in the
Mormon church.
1t is not certain-indeed, it is unlike
ly-that Senator Smoot is a polyga-
nous Mormon. Utah gentiles of long
residence say he is not. But it is i'm
portant in determining whether he is
eligible to remain in the Senate to find
out whether he has taken an oath
which binds him in a superior political
allegiance to that of the Federal Con-
stitution. Originally the Mormon oath
was one of hostility to the United
States. Later it was said to be modi-
fed but. not wholly deprived of its
REASONABLE character. Only the pro-
duction of the terms of the Mormon
code of discipline can determine the
merits of the Smoot case.
