The Denver Republican says the
democratic party is endeavoring to
evade the real issue when it charges
the Peabody administration with
unparallel extravaganza.
"Why, the idear' as the "Burgo-
MASTER comedian calculated. The
idea that the Democrats should be
evading any issue where Peabody is
concerned-that is really funny.
But the political party with nerve
enough to set candidate before an
indignant people bearing the reeking
record of Peabody is liable to do any
thing.
Talking about issues, we should
like to know if wanton misappro-
priation of the taxpayers money is
not in itself real enough issue.
More than that, shameful. damn
able issue. an issue which should bar
the doors to any official seeking re-
election because of his mere rotten
ness.
But the republican party wants
to fight it out on what it terms the
REAL, the simon pure issue. And
there we must admit 1t has been an
issue unparalleled in American his
tory.
That is the issue where all of Colo
RADIOS troubles began.
When in tho name of law a COVER
nor hired out the national guard to

There is no project for the reclama-
tion of arid lands in western America,
which presents such possibilities as
the scheme known as the Grand river

government may not say so. they be-

most feasible plan to reclaim lands for

The amount of money earned
by the county offices of Mesa county,
in excess of the legitimate expenses of
the office, would present very credit

would make a material difference
to every taxpayer of the county.

The republican leaders in Mesa
county are very touchy because demo-
cracy's disagreeing elements have
been united. The keenest political
workers have always been mem bers
of the democratic party, and they
have always been hard to handle.
The daily sentinel., 1904-10-04

The reason thereof is the men of the
democratic party in this county can
not be herded into convention to be
brow beaten and bulldozed into doing
what few leaders dictate shall be
done.

 An article In a Birmingham paper of recent date is calculated to convey the wrong impression. The association has no disposition to withhold from the board of trade any information regarding the correspondence on the subject of rates in Birmingham, and our sole purpose In re- ferring you to the mayor was to avoid carrying on a correspondence with two bodies namely, the board of trade and the city council The copies of the com munications to the mayor will give you all the information which 1t Is in our power to furnish at the present time re- garding the Improvements necessary to place Birmingham on the basis of first class city. When the association Is ad- vised that the city desires to make the improvements 1t will go to the expense of having an inspector make thorough re- view of the situation and furnish com plete data as to the Improvements which would be asked for.

 T feel perfectly safe in assuring you that as soon as the matter can be pre- scented to the executive committee, if you will indicate to them that it Is the pur- pose of the city to make the suggested Improvements, the committee will send an inspector to review the situation again and give you in detail and with accuracy a list of the changes and improvements which would be necessary.
 Referring to your suggestion that l come over to Birmingham and talk this matter over with you, would say that personally it would afford me pleasure to confer with you, but with the matter in the present condition nothing could come of 1t. The whole matter is in the hands of the executive committee and I could not at the present time do or suggest anything, except as directed by the com mittee. Should I come to Birmingham during the present month, or before the committee meets, I shall do myself the pleasure of calling on you and will then be pleased to give you any information other than is contained in this letter.

IS 4 THING
 OF BEAUTY The Woodward Cafe and Bar
 Transformed WILL OPEN TUESDAY The Public Will Be Given the Very Best That Money Can 6uy-Pan- taze 6 shindler Are the
 Managers.

Wonderful changes have taken place at the Woodward bar and cafe within the past few weeks. Artistic skill has been applied in the work of perfect transfor- nation there, and on Tuesday morning, when the formal opening takes place, the attractive beauty there presented will cause expressions of admiration by all visitors and passersby.
 When Messrs. Pantaze and Shindler took hold last spring of the Woodward they began at once to plan for it's im- provement; and the changes made have demonstrated their good taste and llb- eral expenditure of money in making their place one of the most beautiful and attractive in the south.
 The handsome entrance of massive ma hogany and beveled plate glass is ap- preached by a vestibule laid with one of the prettiest pieces of tile work ever seen in this city. This. as well as the floor within, which immediately attracts the attention of the visitor, is of ceramic tile, designed along Grecian lines and exceed ingly beautiful. The heavy mahogany fur niture and the Flemish brass fixtures, the decorations and hangings of the bar and cafe are in harmony with one another, and all add much to the elegance and beauty of the place.
 The cafe has been enlarged, and new kitchen, with every modern convenience, has been installed. The service of the cafe will be surpassed by nothing in the country, and every meat, fish, vegetable and game in season will be served to the patrons of the Woodward. The manage ment wishes to emphasize the fact that this entire establishment will be strict ly stag place. and will cater to the best element of trade.
 Openinr Tuesday,
 On Tuesday the Woodward will be at home to it's friends. It has not been given out just what the affair will be. but those who know the managers know that visitors will be well taken care of and royalty entertained. At any rate, this handsome place is worth going far to see and as a general invitation is extend ed, large crowd will of course be pres ent.
 Messrs. Pantaze and Shindler are popu- lar and prosperous business men of Bir- mingham, and have many friends. MT. Shindler will give his entire time to the management of the business, which as- sures in itself that the place will be con- ducted along high class lines and will attain even more success than ever be- fore. sss 
 be employed. the association will be com pelled to make substantial increase in rates in the city of Birmingham.
 Resolved, further, that the inadequacy of the water pressure and protection on the highlands, as demonstrated In recent fires, will necesstate the rates In that section being substantially advanced by the association unless this condition is promptly improved.

THE CANDIDATE OF THE TRUSTS.

Following the nnoncement of few
days ago that Mr.. J. Pierpont Nor
gan has determined to support Roose-
yelt for President comes the statement
that Mr. E. T. Stotesbury, of the
Philadelphia firm of Drexel, Morgan
& Co., has been selected as the agent
of the Republican National committee
to solicit contributions to the cam
paign fund. It will be remembered
that Chairman Cortelyou originally
selected Mr. Thomas Dolap, of Phil
adelphsa, to perform this important
service. Dolan begged off, however,
and was released under promise that
he would provide suitable man. In
the selection of Mr.. Stotesbury that
promise has been more than amply fall
filed
Early in the period of discussing
presidential possibilities Mr.. Andrew
Carnegie, who has the largest personal
interest in the Steel trust, voluntarily
offered to contribute half million
dollars to the fund in the event of
Roosevelt's nomination. Soon after
ward Mr.. John D. Rockefeller sent
the cashier of his bank to sec Roosevelt
and after his return anonounced that
Roosevelt is good enough for him and
that he is willing to make a generous
contribution to the fund. A little
later Mr.. George J. Gould became
guest at the White House for lunch
con. He got two of the young men IN
the service of his Western railroad
appointed to seats in the presidential
cabinet and he is also satisfied with
Roosey.
Yet the Republican organs accuse
Judge Parker of being the candidate
of the trusts for the Presidency. The
statement is SO absurd on its face,
that nobody appeared to regard it as
worthy Of contradiction, but we may
be justified in pointing out the fact
that Mr.. Roosevelt has made terms
with the trusts and that the only con-
spicuous trust magnates of the coun-
try are enthusiastic workers in behalf
of Roosevelt. In fact, with the ex-
ception of Mr.. John ". Gates, all
the conspicuously wealthy trust mag
ntes have announced themselves for
the President. That fact settles the
question of which OF the candidates
are preferable to the trusts and the
Republican prints are Informed that
there is no use in misrepresenting the
| facts.

The predicament in which China
finds herself placed by the conflicting
demands of Russia and Japan is one
to embarrass any nation not sufficient
ly strong to DEFY either or both Delli-
gerents, and to adhere to policy OF
strict neutrality. Russia insists that
Der battle scared warships which have
taken refuge in Chinese ports be pro-
tec:sd against capture or destruction
by the Japanese while repairs that are
necessary TO fit them for active duty
are being made. while the japanese
are equally vigorous III demanding
that the Russians warships be requir-
ed to leave the protection Of the neu-
tral potts. China is not in position to
offend either and so has done nothing
so far as reports show to settle the
issue. The probable outcome of the
matter will be that the Japanese war
ships will enter the Chinese ports in
which the Russian vessels have sought
sanctuary and either capture or des-
troy them. If this is done Russia
will unquestionably seek wien the war
is over to force China to pay an in
demnity great enough to replace the
ships captured or destroyed by Japan.
Poor old China is getting the butt
end of the proposition all the way
trough and will not only lose Manchu-
ria no matter who is victor, but will
find herself in hot water with both
Russia and Japan.

The Russians have the neutral pow

hal. They refuse to permit the Japan

BILE measures. The consuls have
solemnly decided that China cannot

The Sumter Light Infantry is not
now receiving and has never received
the degree of encouragement and hnan-
cial support from the substantial clti-
zens of Sumter that its merit and
value to the community warrant.
The maintenance Of the company is
a constant and tco heavy expense to
the active members III proportion to
the pleasure and benefits they individ-
uasly receive. The appropriations
received from the State and national
governments do not begin to defray
the actual expenses OF the organlza-
ton, and it would be no more than
fair for the community, as a whole, to
bear a share of the burden that low
falls upon the active members. There
are few contributing members who
haze always been loyal to the
company, bat they ere too few to be OF
material assistance. There should be
at least ere hundred contributing
members, a4d twice that numoer
would not be too many. We believe
that g consideration of the Importance
of maintaining the company will con-
vince every public spirited man that
he should, if his means permit, oe

ton for membership. Two cents

an enthusiastitic vein and states the
case somewhat strongly, but, in the
main, truly. Conditions were, indeed,

black and hopeless as our correspond
ent paints them. Notwithstanding
the severe blow the town had receiv-
ed by the ABSORPTION of the G. S. d

deplorable condition OF the farming in

the low price Of cotton and the des-
tructioa of crops by thee storm of 'S3.
the people as 3 whole still
possessed hope for the future and
confidence in the ultimate growth and
development Of our county and town.
Hope, despite disaster, and confidence
in the face of untoward conditions

on these that the Sumter of today was
builded by those who remained true
and s5eadfast in their loyalty to Sum-
