There will be little doing by the
new city council until the contests
are decided on the aldermanic ticket

Gov. Vardaman of Mississippi is
attempting to come into the public
eye because of his antagonism OF
Roosevelt. In other words. he would
like to secure public attention by
mounting Teddys shoulders.
Another woman has begun to
write about dressing herself on $50
a year This same sort of literature
was extant several years ago. when
a whole lot of old maids began to
tell how it was possible TO raise a
family on $500 a year.
If ones finger could be put upon
the wretch who causes some burning
fluid to be poured on dogs. you would
find that individual one of the most
cowardly. contemplate and smiling
of Gods people You could place
any crime at his door and you would

would cause dumb animals to under
go suffering has no right to associate
with his fellows.

There ought not to be any neces-
sity for a formal notice to property
owners TO clean their premises and
the alleys in the rear of their places
of business. The alley between Main
and Colorado avenue and Third and
Sixth streets is disgrace to any
city and it MUST be kept clean. If

forthcoming Such an alley would
disgrace the hardest section of any
city.
DR. Wiley. who has had charge of
the poison squad in Washington. and
by that is meant those who have
consented to undergo treatment of
various kinds with drugs. to find out
their uses. has discovered formula
that is not harmful, in the reduction
of flesh But" says the eminent
DR.. Wiley. fat men had better cling
to their avoirdupois, for without it
they will be unhappy" DR.. Wiley
certainly has sized up the situation
exactly about fat men. We have
talked to numbers of them who have
lost their flesh and none of them are
half as happy as they thought they
would be without it. We are not now
in the fat mans class.

That was pretty hot shot handed
this city and republished in this
paper yesterday, from the Glenwood
Springs Avalanche. But, it was not
the shot that hurt, it was tne truth
of the item. Every word said about
our alleys was the gospel truth.
Had Glenwood Springs to contend
with the character of sol we have
here it would not have time to make
the comments it has done regarding
the dust. II is a great problem, but
we have faith that il will be con
quered, as other things have in this
city. and that Glenwood Springs will
come to Grand Junction. as today its
citizens so to Denver, for recreation
and pleasure.
While II will be disappointing to
those who have looked forward to a
great sea battle, rivaling that in
which the Spanish Armada went for
ever into the bosom of 'Davy' s
Locker" between the Jap and Rus
sian fleets, modern naval strategy
does not countenance fixed battles
/ between two fleets of equality, if
other strategic means can be put in
0
cutting of coal supplies and in cur
] failing the necessities of such an ar
ray of fleets. There is nothing
/ spectacular about that character of
1 operations, but 1t is just as effective
as standing off and battering the
great steel hulks of the battleships
with shot and shell. The plan spolS-
en- of above seems now to be that
adopted by Togo and it would appear

has all to lose in naval engagement
in which she would be loser-with
Russia it would only be an additional
battle lost.
One of the very worst habits an
individual can fall into is the drift
habit. Taking things as they come
and not endeavoring to stem the tide
makes men and women weak. II is
the same way with organizations OF
municipalities. Because Things have
been allowed to exist. there are men
who will argue that these conditions
should not be disturbed. Now we
hold that such theory is entirely
wrong. No man desires to be arbi-
trary in his acts, but II he has any
respect for himself, even at the eX-
pense of opposition. he will not per
nit himself to fall into the drift
rut, There Is another objection TO
permitting the drift habit to exist
The men who reap the advantage OF
the "drifters" are everlastingly alert
and never permit themselves the lux
ury co of the drift" habit. We
hope we have not been speaking in
parallels and that those whose lives
and habits are modelled along the
lines OF the 'drifters' will tear away
and become aggressive.

The most effective cartoon OF
Steele's which we have seen in long
time appeared in the Post of the issue
of Monday. 1t is a cartoon of two
sections One section represents the
householder of slovenly disposition
who has carried the household slops
to the back yard fence and who delib-
erately dumps them into the alley
Old cans. refuse OF all kinds. a dead
cat. ashes. etc, are the things in.
