That great Independent newspaper

ut would be no matter Of extreme surprise

cal by practical enncemont"
A strong tendency towards com
munism Is one OF the worst features OF
present day politics. Starting with
the communism OF protective taritl
taxation, II has spread out in many
other directions. Democrats should
stand out against this tendency, and
demand that each individual shall be
secure in his rightful liberty. In
shaping the policy OF their party lie,
them not consider whether this or that
course be republican or populistic
but whether II be democratic, whether
II be wise and right. ,rhe question
should not be one of radicalism OF
conservatism, but of right and wrong,

teenth century, which have contribute
ed to human happiness on the univer-
sal scale, the Waverly novels hold a
place by virtue of their millions OF
readers and now, coming into the
hands OF the fourth generation, they
are still one OF the principal effective
contemporary possessions OF the Eng
lish race in literature. Criticism,
which sooner or later assalls all
works OF great fame, has the most
trihing effect upon them; they are
invulnerable In the hearts OF the
people. They contain so much hui
mainly in its plain style; they disclose
such romantic scenes, such air OF
gallantry, such high behavior, In
connection with events and personag-
es otherwise memorable; and they are,
besides, so colorcd with the hues OF
the mind, arising from local associa-
tion, imaginative legend, historic
glamour and the sense Of the presence
OF fine action, that their reception by
the heart Is spontaneous. -

sensational war play THE White Tig-

good company last night at the Park
opera house. The performance was
witnessed by a large audience and
evidently the production proved salts

While the play is one that con

Russo-Japanese war and the battle
of Port Arthur. The Japs being made

The Reed block is TO be located

The Reed block will cover four
lots 1t will have a frontage of one
hundred feet and a depth of one hun
dred and twenty-five feet. 1t is to be
two stories in height with a fun
basement and viii be constructed
of brick and concrete. The front
will be of pressed brick.
The building is to be modern in
every respect, and will be one of the
handsomest and best appointed bust
ness blocks in the city or. in fact
in western Colorado.
The store rooms on the lower floor
will be made attractive in every way.
Work on the big building is to start
at once. Just as soon as all the pre-
liminaries are arranged the work Of
excavating will be started and unless
much bad weather interferes the
block will not be long in course of
construction.
With the Reed block completed
there will be only one vacant lot on
the south side of Main street between
Third and Sixth streets and a build
ing will soon be erected on this.
