The daily sentinel., 1905-10-26


vide some means by which the work
could be pushed forward. The Sen
tinel has maintained all along that
we should not simply sit down and
wait until the government decides
that we have good proposition, but
go to the government and convince
it that one of the greatest propo-
sitions for the reclamation of land in
arid America. is right here in the
Grand valley. Some plan should be
evolved at that meeting looking tow
ard the plan to send a committee of
one or more TO Washington to push
forward our home project.

The Army & Navy Journal does
not take kindly to the pigeon-holing
of the papers in the Taggert divorce
case. That paper recites that the
trial judge has said that three Of
ficers were technically found guilty
of dishonoring the home of brother
officer. II demands for the honor OF
the service that. the men so charged
shall be tried and that no fayoritism
be shown them. because of their high
position, but that they be punished
as the comment states that they do
not desire TO create an American
Dreyfus. The structures of the Of
fetal paper of the army seems to be
dishonored that which should be held
most sacred. the home of brother
officer, should meet just punishment

A young man yesterday. exhibited
to the writer telegram that he had
received from his mother in the
east. stating that. she had sent
certain sum of money TO liqui-
date a board bill, contracted by the
hs.ss ta.Ns.
was exhibited for the purpose of i'm
pressing the writer with the fact
that he had influential connections
in the east, who would at all times
come to his aid when necessary The
telegram did not impress us in the
manner which II was intended TO do.
We told the young man, who is fun
grown and vigorous. but who has led
a rather swift life that. so far as he
was concerned he should be ashamed
to- fall back upon his parents to sup
port him. when there were golden
opportunities for young man to pro-
vide a living at least for himself
throughout this whole western
country. The sooner young man
can divorce himself from the support
that loving parents give. in mis-
taken idea that It will help their
children, the better it will be for the
children and also for the comfort
of the parents It is all right to fur
nish aid to those in need or who
under adverse circumstances have
lost their all. but it is only fostering
a wrong condition to aid one who is
well able to support himself

The nursery companies throughout
the United States have entered upon
a campaign against the Spencer Seed
less apple. IT these companies that
so fear the Seedless apple. would tell
but the truth about the apple. the
Spencer Seedless apple company could
hardly ask for a better means of ad-
vertising. The great publishing
houses which print a large portion
of the patent portion of newspapers,
to be used in country publications
have loaned themselves to the scheme
of the nursery people, in exchange for
considerable volume of advertis-
ing and campaign is begun against
the apple. which to say the least is
formidable But we have our doubts
If the campaign of publicity Will not
react upon the parties who are in
stgating the lies now being put in
circulation. The matter which is he
ing published is tissue of lies In
resemblance to those that have been
resemblance of those that have been
made from photographs of the Spen-
Ger Seedless apple One of the
articles has come to hand, issued by
Cincinnati publishing house which
furnish patent sides to country week
lien and in this article Col Bracket of
the pomological department of the
government is quoted and also one
Taylor II we know how to read he
teween the lines. we would stamp the
article at once as one that is proposed
to he used for blackmailing purposes
The company in this city has nothing
whatever to hide and all II asks is
the truth regarding the apple, moth
ing more, That all the lies being
told will have other effect than what
It is intended they should have, is
almost sure. as one glance at any OF
the Spencer variety of seedless apples
will refute all that is being said
against them.
Someone said, not long since, and
we believe it was one of the cabinet
members that, President Roosevelt
was the biggest advertiser this coun-
try ever had That. while we did not
intend that il should be thus, never
theless II unconsciusly was so and
that he was the beneficiary The iudi-
Vidual, whoever he was said that not
only did he advertise. but he had the

he did was worth while and deserv-
ing the publicity he received. Some
people viii agree also that his daugh-
ter Miss Alice is not slow in the ad-
vertislug line So far as being in the
public eve is concerned, Miss Alice
has been a splendid press agent for
herself. on this world tour just finish
ed The press and the magazines of
the country lVVe Wed with each
other to see which could give the most
space to this presidential daughter,
We will join large contingent of
American people in their judgment
that so far as Miss Alice is concern
ed a little less publicity would he ad-
mirable upon her part but we
imagine that the Young lady Is
creature of circumstance in the mat
ter OF the publicity she receives and
is entirely helpless in the matter.
Anyway Il proves the point which we
desire to make that nowadays YOU
must be in the llmelight in business
rs well as social affairs to make
success The man who thinks that
he can do business in this day and
