It is said that the whole North
Fork country is coming down to
Grand Junction the week of the fair

The fall rains will soon be over
and then most delightful weather
will follow 1t will be just in time
20 make 1t most pleasant Tor the
annual big fair.
1t does make a good deal of diff
ference the kind of people you have
in town. Don't let anyone at
tempt to make you believe otherwise.
If you would hearken to some people
cows would be pasturing on Main
street. Keep on working and let the
knockers talk.

We don't wonder in the least that
the Japanese are highly chagrined
over the peace terms made by their
emperor. 1t was anticipated that
their belief in the divinity of their
Mikado would close their mouths to
almost anything he.did, but the Jap
anese have learned along different lin
es, beside those of being a first-class
warrior and seaman. The upheval in
Toxic shows that the Japs are mad
at the terms of peace which were ac-
cepted from a nation which they
fought and conquered. 1t would not
be surprising that civil war would
follow the degradation occasioned by
the terms which witte accepted from
the Mikado.
President Roosevelt won't stand
for grafters, If he knows it. F. w.
Palmer, public printer, must step
down and out. He is charged with
various things, which makes the pres
ident believe he is not the proper
person to be entrusted with such
an important position. Very recent
ly the government discovered a great
big grating scheme in the printing
office. A change was to be made from
hand composition to machine work.
In some manner a firm that is sell
ing an imperfect typesetting machine
got in its work and an order aggre-
eating several hudred thousand dol
lars was given, as against the Mer-
genthaler, the only great machine on
the market today. When 1t was dis
covered that the government was
about to install machine not fully
perfected there was a great outcry
and the Mergenthaler company will
now get the order
The Herald-Democrat, of Lead

Its high perch of isolation to say that
II believes that the Pueblo Chieftain,
since its change of managemnt, has
been worth 25 per cent to the up
building of the city of Pueblo. The

judgment Under the stimulus of n

A woman, the wife of a well known
farmer. was arrested yesterday in
this city and fined for shop-lifting.
1t was not the first offense of this
woman. If the store keepers are to
be believed she has carried on
systematic system of thievery for
some time past. If this had been
first offense. It might have been
designated by the polite term given
to those who are caught theiving-
ldeptomania This woman had no
need to steal. her husband is amply
able to pay for the necessities of her
self and her household This woman
certainly did not reflect on what the
consequences to herself and family
would be if she were caught in THEY
ing she ran a great risk, risk
that would brand herself and her
children in any community for life
1t is well that her husband was able
to make up to the storekeeper the
amount of the cost of the goods
taken, as 1t has partially shielded the
woman's reputation.
