Property owners are urged to make
examination Of the walks surrounding
their property. Loose boards can
cause much damage. A citizen is
under certain obligations to attempt
to conserve the public walks and
streets as best he can, whether on
his own or other property. This is
duty he owes as a good citizen.

That was most deplorable acci-
dent that occurred at Telluride yes
! terday and those who were the suf-
ferers in the Office of the Journal, Will
have the sympathy of their crafts
men all over the state. Persons can
not be too careful in working with
such infiamable material as gasoline
/ We depiore the accident greatly and
offer out heartfelt sympathies to the
families of the injured and to Charles
F. Painter, proprietor of the Jour
nal.
Decadent monarchy must retain
semblance of power and in order
to do it, perform such acts as make
those who live under a republican
form of government practically laugh
in their sleeve. A million dollars
must be spent, as the London dis
patch says, to pay expenses during the
trip of the prince and the princess of
Wales to India. That people must be
impressed with the power of the con-
quering country and the English
find no better way to do It than, TO
have the first representative of royal
ty tour that country. Suffering India
would be better served to have the
money spent in securing its starving
inhabitants from famines horrors,
but that would not conserve the
power of the governing power OF
India.
A new day of emancipation is be-
ing looked forward to by the people
of Philadelphia. II is the day of cleo
tion, November Sth. At that time It
is hoped to dethrone bossism in the
Quaker City. 1t will take hard work
to beat the gang that has controlled
! that city for years and bled 1t on con-
tracts on every turn. But the peo-
pie of that city have habit of clean
ing the public stables occasionally
and they generally do 1t pretty
thoroughly when once started. 1t
was done once before, when the late
Governor Robert e. Pattison and the
committee of one hundred were in
the saddle. 1t seems as If IT would
be done in equally as thorough a
manner this year.

That was an awful charge made re-
Gently against the present French
nobility. If 1t did not come from
such a distinguished source we should
question is sweeping annihilation of
French society, so far, as the nobil-
ity is concerned. "Marse" Henry
Watterson. who has lived much in
Paris the last year or more has con-
trasted European and American So
ciety in an article in the Cosmopoli-
tan and for scathIng arraignment OF
society In general, 1t is n classic.
'Marse' Hery says that, who knows
but that French arlstocracy are not
the descendants of grandfathers and
grand mothers, who were the stable
boys and the scullions of French
Bourbons. The manner in which they
added their names to the titled ones
of France. is that they were the rem
nants of old Bourbon houses at the
time of the French revolution. The
Paris camille killed of or guillotin-
ed the heads of all of the ancient
houses. These servants stole the
names, archives and other matter
of their masters and disappeared
Afterward in the course of a few
years or longer reappeared and
claimed distinguished ancestry. No
wonder the charge is made that the
great Count Boni Castellane, is moth
ing more or less than an upstart
without the shodow of title to wear
that distinguished old French name.
We wonder whether Anna Gould has
looked over the French records to
prove that her Boni is what he
really claims to be.
