Eliminated From Reserve

County Surveyor Rosenberg this
week received a letter from the secre.
tary Of the interior advising him of
the elimination from the Battlement
Mesa Forest reserve of certain lands
which were found to be more valua-
BILE for agricultural than forest pur-
poses. The proclamation of elimina
ton may be found elsewhere in this
issue.
This ruling which is of vast irn
portance to Garfield county is the
result of the good work of W. Fl.
Clark of Meeker, supplemented by re-
quests from Mr.. Rosenberg the Gar.
field county commiss and many
of our citizens. The letter to Mr.
Rosenberg is as follows:
Mr.. Theodore Rosenberg,
Glenwood Springs, Colo.

ruary 90, 1904, the receipt OF which
was acknowledged by the Department

OF report Of the Gath instant on your
letter by the Commissioner of tn,
General Land Office, from which il
appears that the agricultural lands
referred to, have been excluded from
the Battlement Mesa Forest Reserve

ed May 18, 1904.
Very Respectfully,
THOS. RYAN,

habit of visiting at the Kicker home
quite often and that Kicker had be.
come jealous of MIN, claiming that
Mead was paying more attention tc
Mrs. Kicker than he ought. A few
words between Kicker and Mead on
this subject served to start quarrel

The point that | have in view is
this: A mans conscience and in

not be inherited, and as intelli-
gence and morals are what it takes
to make the man, good breeding
sometimes counts for nothing.
The moral student must first learn
the respective values of right and

am far from the land where my loved ones are
dwelling,
Between rolls the sea with its pillows and foam,
Yet my heart with fOndest emotion is swelling,
AS read the dear letter they've sent me from
home.
In fancy see that brown cottage again,
And the garden where sweetly the red roses
blow,
kneel by grave in the shade ola glen,
Where slumbers the dear one lost long ago,
For often at eve when in solitude straying.
Fond mem'ry reverts to the bright days of yOre,
And long for the fields where the children are
playing,
The valley and hills may never see more.
Long years have 1 wandered, alone and a
stranger
And dark is the pathway DER which 1 must
roam,
But know there is One who can shield me
from danger,
And His blessing ask on the loved ones at
home.

THE INCREASE OF PATERNALISM

men, socialism would prove a
blight to progressive people.
Consider the different economic
conditions In a country SO vast as
ours, and remember that socialism
would have all the people living
therein governed according to the
idea of equal distribution of ma
terial goods. Consider the different
standards of life between the sew
eral classes of society, and then say
whether all the people would be
entirely satisfied to have socialism
made the law of the land.
There is in every country an
element of discomfort that gives
voice to its dissatisfaction when
ever favorable opportunity is Of
fered. The November election
brought out this dissatisfied vote
in full force, because of the in
creased agitation Of our economic
disparity. Socialism may poll a
much larger vote at the next presi-
Dental election, but, like the pop
ulist movement, it will decline
into small minority within dec
ade. The populists carried six
states in 1892, and this year they
only had a very small following.
The Investigations of our economic
conditions which are now being
made by the department of Com
merce and Labor, will bear fruit in
legislation that will correct many of
the ills that perplex our economic
life. Within a decade there will
be less cause for complaint against
our political institutions, and con-
sequently socialism will lose the
majority of it's followers.

All things being equal, all men
are equal.
The American Indian has more
than demonstrated that the above
is the truth, the whole truth and
nothing but the truth. He is
classed with savages, and yet,
within one generation he has, with
out the supposed advantages in
herited by civilization, been
known to take an honorable place
in society, while the civilized eau
casian-or rather his children-on
becoming adopted in infancy by
barbarians, have developed into
frst-class savages. We read in
novels how the child of some lord
or duke, stolen by gypsies, retains
during his nondescript life those
peculiar characteristics which
birth and breeding alone are
thought capable of imparting.
Victor Hugo was not above the
ordinary run of writer's in that re-
spect. In his "Notre Dame de
Paris" he draws a very vivid pic
ture of young maiden who was
stolen by band Of gypsies, but
she is so fairy and godlike the
reader soon discovers her to be of
superior race. Now what is the
natural result of constantly read
ing fiction in which such views
are expressed? It inculcates the
erroneous idea that birth and
breeding makes the man. The
actual number of cases where a
child of civilization has been
reared by heathens are few, but of
sufficient number to be used as a
basis of comparison. Altho man
may inherit prominent forehead,
he cannot inherit fully devel-
oped brain, because mans intel.
lectual powers depend on his men
tai training.

teachings must in some way make
up for the self-reliance taught by
the necessary struggles with the
hardships of those days.
As nation we are prone to ex-
ert hypnotic influence over our
selves as individuals, to the effect
that we believe our government
was 80 we'll fouuded and is 80 well
established that nothing we may
do will have any bearing upon the
outcome, and we owe allegiance,
first to ourselves, and second to our
country. This is based upon a
very superficial knowledge of the
law of the universe. New Zealand,
Australia and Canada are granting
more freedom and protection to
their people than we are. The
day of the reformer is here, and
still reforms with us are made
from within and we are too busy
to study any question in advance,
as we will not see until the evil
crowds us from the path.
It is not very pleasant reading
for an American to note inefici-
ency displayed by our department
heads during our late war with
Spain, compared with the model
service rendered by the Japanese
in their present struggle. It is
time we took a tumble and dropped
our egotism, remembering that
we are no exception to the

and if Anthony was right in his
statement that to be Roman was
greater than king, things have
changed wonderfully, Judging from

Take our first textbook, the BIZ

agree with himself in his own in
depreciation of the meaning of any
chapter, and beyond question will
disagree with all others. This is
true of too many of our studies.
We should therefore, in seeing

Our Lessons.

Paper Read Before the ChautduQua Circle.
Do we profit to the fullest ex-
tent from our lessons? Are our
efforts entirely along the right
line? With apologies to present
company I contend that the sys-
tenn of study for the average stu
dent should be more simple, that
we should confne ourselves close
to the ordinary facts. We should
digest more thoroughly that of
which we are capable and endeav-
or to specialize instead of general
izing. After our first lessons
when we are taught name is
noun, and seven times one are sew
en-, it is left largely to ourselves to
work out our own salvation with
this definition as our guiding star,
can axiom is self-evident truth"
We take too much for granted from
this definition. We are perhaps
all from Missouri, but as our eyes
sometimes deceive us, as was dem
onstrated here recently in such
a very clever manner, why not
our minds? One of the homeop-
athy beliefs of my parents was
Feed a cold and starve a fever"
but interpreted by them as IF you
feed a cold you will have a fever
to starve." Now, they we're thor
oughly lmbued with the truth of
this, and | can remember many
home-comings (perhaps a little
later than they should have been)
when to my mind there was very
little chance to have taken cold.
I was handed bunch of ginger or
pepper tea and invited to bed sup
PEERLESS. In some cases I had the
choice between the tea and nice
whalebone, purchased for this use.
That this is the correct interpre-
tation the exception proves. But
I have heard it quoted and seen it
applied literally, many times in
late years.
Since the discovery of mathe-
mates our students have made
much progress, as it is the founda-
ton necessary for successful re-
searches in nearly all branches.
Elementary mathematics are known
to all mankind, as it is the leaven
in the bread of knowledge. But
has not the commercialism of the
age caused us to depart from many
fundamental truths? There is no
doubt but what Nero enjoyed his
own music, but did his subjects?
