There is nothing quite so good as
to have all roads lead to Grand
Junction.

Grand junction is fulfilling the
destiny set for her. 1t was predict
ed that the city would be the part of
great transcontinental line. That
this prediction is soon to be fulfilled
is apparent.

For the protection of the irHab-
itants there has been placed tax on
dogs. II is not meant to be burden
some, but to rid the city of the dogs
when their numbers reach the tondi-
ton of pest, which time has abou.
arrived. A great many people have
cheerfully complied with the man
date, but many others are not doing
so. The marshal has orders to en-
force the collection of this tax or rid
the city of dogs. The marshal says
he proposes to do his duty

A private business, as well as a
municipality, may get into the habit
OF drifting. The people come 10 be
lieve that when ordinances are NOT
enforced they are immune from ar
rest and from the obligation oi per-
forming their duties as citizens, in
conformity with the ordinances. IL
is the desire of the present admins
tration to use eminent horse sense
in enforcing the mandates of the nlu-
or intend that there shall be contin-
ued horse play" about the matter.

The "lSnocker" is always alive. He
lives, in spite of the fact that his
own conscience ought to kill him. He
resides in every country under the
sun. He is the native of no partic-
ular land but is found everywhere.
You know him; you have met him
thousand times. He is the fellow
that never has a good word to say
of anyone or anything He would
rather backcap proposition than
boost it. He had long hammer out
for the seedless apple. and started
his pounding on the other side of the
big pond He knows, if he ever saw
a seedless appel that he lied when
he produced two fake apples. What
he wants is money but the Seedless
| Apple Company has several thousand
| for boosting. but never penny for
bribing.

1t looks very much, indeed, from
this distance that President Alexan-
der of the Equitable Life Society had
become so entrenched in power that
when the time arrived for him to
turn over the trust that Henry
HYDE had left with him for his son.
he could not reason to himself to
accept such position as an inferior IN
the counsels of that great organiza-
tion. The thing that appealed to him
then was to make capital out OF the
shortcomings of young Hyde and Gust
him from the position he held as vice
president of the company. Nlexan-
NNA Niu NhdN every Hhdu noes AZ
times became overpowered with
power. He is now paying ;ho penal
ty. The most dangerous period of Il |
mans life is when he is at the height
Of his power. He becomes careless
of the rights of others and he never
reasons that he can fall

With the boasted power of this |
government. the respect some say it |
has enforced in foreign lands. it
would seem that we might be able to
make a showing in Mexico against
the medieval law in force in that
reputed republic, when n citizen in |
the employ of railroads is thrown in
to dungeons and punished for un-
avoidable accidents. Minister Clay
ton will have to hearken to the pro
test made by the powerful Railway |
Trainmens organization, The single |
protest of individuals seems to have |
had no effect whatever in preventing |
the Diaz government from eontinu-
ing its policy of imprisonment But |
the worst indignity upon our country |
and flag is that other countries when |
they protest make that protest stick |
and the Mexican government jumps
with alacrity to obey their mandate. |
with all the boasted strenuosity and
with the insignificance of this sister
republic, it would seem indeed that
we might put stop to this little
opera bouffe republic from casting
