THIRTY THOUSAND EAGLES
COMING TO COLORADO.

Within a few days the great ma
tional convention of Eagles viii meet
in Denver and the capital city is
making elaborate preparations to en-

gates. Grand Junction will send a
big delegation which will make n
hard fight for the national Eagles

tion the Denver Post had the fol-

Russia and Indemnity.

Russia declares that she will not pay an
indemnity, and in some French quarters
her attitude is Endorsed on the PROPOSITION
that the whole amount whatever it might
be, would so toward increasing Japan S
fighting strength, and particularly on the
sea. Well, Japan might reply to that by
saying that by Withholding demand for
an indemnity she would play into Russia s
hand to that amount in Russia's purpose to
add to her fighting strength, and particu-
larly Oh the sea. No story is more widely
circulated than that representing Russia
as resolved to build a navy of the first
class as soon the war closes and the
contracts can be let. An enormous sum
will be necessary. and the keeping of her
bills for this war down to the lowest limit
possible will enable Russia to go forward
with this work the more speedily. The fact is
that in this as in other matters Japan has
argument and precedent on her side. AS
Russia brought on the dance, and has con-
tinued 1t unduly, she should pay the fid-
dler-pay all the expenses of the function.
If Japan foregoes exacting this 1t Will be
an extraordinary manifestation of magma
nimity. Germany was not SO generous with

Sophie Beck.

Her name is Sophie Beck She is the
latest addition to the gallery of fame, and
her reported performances show that she
has earned her place. Born in humble sta
ton, and applying herself closely, she at
tained at a comparatively early age to an
influential Office in get-rich-quick organ
ization in Philadelphia. and now that ex-
posture has come her shining talents are
found to have marked the whole way of the
organizations operations. She has nerve,
too, as well as talent and it did not desert
her in the supreme hour. When the blow
of fate fell she herded her assistants-a
lot of men in a panic-loaded them on
yacht, and set sail for Europe. We may
think of her in command and. imposing
a severe discipline. It is rumored that she
has reached the other side, but finds it diff
ficult to make a safe landing. Her desire
is to go ashore unobserved and place her
passengers in a snug retreat, far from the
madding police.
Full particulars of this heroine have not
as yet been collected. Nor are we advised
as to the explanation of her power-whether
it lies in a beautiful face and an attire
fashioned in Paris, or in tongue tipped
with eloquence and wagged smoothly with
a soft voice. Mrs. Chadwick is gifted in
tain it seems to be that she has with in
dustry and ease separated a good many
people from their coin. and left them in a
state of mingled despair and wonderment.
Another interesting disclosure in this mat
ter Is the fact that all the suckers do not
live in the remote and sparsely settled sec
tons of the country. The contrary opinion
has here and there been held. Comment on
the operations of sharpers has too often rep
resented establishments in cities dealing in
fraud as supported by confiding people liv-
ing at a long distance from the big road.
But here we find companies, advertising
money inducements SO great as should have
aroused the suspicious of even a n1ildewed
Jay doing business up in the hundred
thousand mark for sections of the country
where legitimate business of every kind
fiourishes and daily newspapers all but grow
on trees.
So We see that, in some things, the Jay"
and his city brother are much alike. The
love of money gotten quickly and with ease
is common to both. And if it Is true, as GER
tain soclologists declare. that sucker" is
born into the world every minute, is it not
comforting to reflect that the distribution is
general and that all sections are remem-
bered?

japan After the War.

What effect is this war to have on the Jap
Snese as people? Not in a military sense.
We have heard enough and to spare on that
head. Every wiseacre has made his predic-
ton in that direction. II the mikado does
not challenge the world to combat within
twelve months some of the students of hui
man nature are going to be disappointed.
They are very sure that this triumph over
Russia will make the Japanese cocky be-
yond endurance, and that some other power,
better prepared than Russia was, will
shortly have to tackle them. Never mind
about that.
But how long will it take the Japanese
people to shake down into their old life
again? And what per cent of the men who
have served through the war will have their
future affected by the service? Armies are
composed of young men who get their first
glimpses of the outside world as soldiers.
For the first time many of them are thrown
with strangers. In various ways their hori-
IONS are widened and they become new men.
Happy they may have been before war,
they return home with new views, and
many of them with new aspirations. The
more adventurous are apt to try their FIR
tunes in new fields.
After our civil war many ex-federal sol
dlerS settled In the south, and prOSpered
In business there, while in nearly every
large northern city, where opportunities
were inviting. ex-confederate soldiers made
their way to the front ranks in business
and in the professions. Both sections were
benefited in this way. Many men who are
doing good work in South Africa today
helping to rehabilitate and advance that
country, were attracted there by war, and
are improving opportunities that the war
brought about. And there are Americans
in Cuba, Porto Rico. Hawaii and the Phil
ippines making their way very well and
making good citizens, who prior to the
Spanish war or the annexation of Hawaii
never gave thought to those countries.
War, then, is a great shaker-up and par
ticularly of the young. The Japanese SOL
diers upon their return home will feel this
spirit, and some will yield to it. There are
opportunities in Korea, in Manchuria and
elsewhere in that quarter of the world
which the more adventurous will want to
improve. and will improve. Many spirited
young fellow. after this year of travel and
observation. will find the old life a little
tame, and we shall see him pitch his tent
elsewhere. And wherever he goes he is likely
to prosper. AS man of capacity and grit
he has won his spurs, and those qualities
lead to success in peace as well as in war.

The Pits and the Plans.

1t is disquieting to find that there is a
difference of opinion between the Secretary
of Agriculture and the five men who have
been designated by the President as an
advisory commission to consider questions
of public building emplacement in the mat
ter OF the site for the new Department of
Agriculture, and even more disquieting to
know that the work has progressed too far
to permit change without great cost Two
enormous noles have been dug on the tanks
of the old building. They have been care
fully located with reference to the center
ing of the whole structure, when finished
upon the medal line of 18th street.. The
official-unofficial site commission DEGREES
that it will be inartistc so to center the
building, and recommends it's removal. But
the holes cannot be moved. If the genius
who, years ago, advertised post holes for
sale and made a pile of dollars out of the
credulous farmers were now alive and in
truth capable of performing such wonders.
these pits might be shifted. But he is dead,
and there is none to replace him, and. fur
thermore the Secretary of Agriculture
wants his building centered on 18th street.
Had the holes not been dug it might be
possible to compromise the matter, perhaps
by moving the building back of the frontal
line now chosen. if not off the chosen medal
line if the official-unofficial commissions
objection to placing 1t on a rise of ground
constitutes the paramount objection to its
present site But there are the holes, and
they cost money. and to dig others would
make such inroads upon the appropriation
that there might be a delay of many months
in getting the structure under Roadway.
The Star has heretofore expressed its view
of the proposition to locate this building
upon the Mall. deprecating it as a step
government structures. But there was SO
strong a pressure for this emplacement and
the case was so different from others. in
that the new building will merely replace
the present occupant of the Mall. that this
objection did not prevail. 1t was at least
gratifying that the site was chosen so that
the building would not encroach upon the
projected vista boulevard. which. If created
at all. should be at least unmarried by per-
manent trespassers.
One of the greatest obstacles in the path
of progress in the development of the capt.
tai has been the lack of a distinct plan,
recognized by all officials and binding upon
all executives in charge of constructive
works. The Senate has tried to establish
such a plan. and the President has tried to
give the pigeon-holed project vitality by
appointing his commission. But legal diff
culties have arisen. and his commission IL
is found. is not now lawful body. 1t
merely stands as moral force. 1t is Now
confronted with a physical fact in the form
of these two yawning pits east and west ot

way. the holes or the moral force?

take over six minutes to examine any one

Here are old things and new things
brought together with happy sort of eff
feet Mr.. Hamm is probably not con-
scious of possessing vein of humor, but
he does possess one, which if developed
would bring him larger fame and the world
more good than the cultivation Of his am
bition to shine statesman.
Note this: Prompt punishment of office
seekers who try to ride into Office on the
negro question" The thrust evidently is
at the men who employ the old bugaboo
about negro domination. But suppose
those men raise the point that Mr.. Hamm
himself. by decrying that evil. is trying ito
ride into office on the negro question" His
proposition is sound, but lacks clear ex-
preston. This he may remedy however,
when he takes the stump.
Mr. Hamm has unquestionably pondered
on the subject of the laws delay, and he
offers this as solution in part of that
vexatious problem: Lawyers in courts to
be required to compress their speeches
within a period of six minutes, and no vt
ness to be detained on the stand for
longer time than that. This may cost Mr..
Hamm the lawyer vote in his district. but
men who have spent hours on the rack of
cross-examination in the hanos of merci-
less attorneys should rally to him with en-
thusiasm.
But this is the gem of Mr.. Hamms col
lection: THE abolition of trusts, except
any trust organized by farmers to raise the
price of cotton" The world admires frank
ness. and here is a sample of the genuine
article. Cotton is king in the third Missis-
sppi district. and Mr.. Hamm lays down the
commandment, Thou shalt have none other
trusts but it. Will not that go straight to
the hearts of those for whom 1t is intended?
Beyond a doubt. 1t is a center shot Mr..
Hamms doxy is the orthodoxy.
We may take it for granted that this
gifted man will canvass his district, and
one may envy his hearers their treat when
he gets into full stride in advocacy of his
theories.

Coal Hauling.

The average householder has reason, on
looking over his coal bills for the winter.
to think that the fuel dealers must have
reaped a rich harvest during the past few
months: yet, according to the claims of the
dealers themselves, the winter of 190i-05 has
brought them no greater profits than usual.
and in some cases the net balance is
smaller than in milder years. The claim
seems at first unwarranted but the expla-
nation given is plausible. The almost con-
slant fall of snow and the formation of ice
in the streets 1t Is said, seriously handi-
capped the retailers of coal In the matter
of their deliveries. With their ordinary
equipment OF wagons, horses and drivers
the dealers were able TO do about IS per
cent as much haultng a. In other years.
