The district attorneys Office OF
New York says that the newspapers
| tried Nan Patterson. They will make
more desperate effort than ever to
try her if she is ever placed on trial
for her life for the fourth time.

1t is said that President Roosevelt
is getting madder than wet hen
over the railroad rates and the man
ner in which some of the senators in
the employ of the big corporations
are thwarting his purpose TO give the
people more equitable freight rates.

After all, there may be a great
sea fight, if yesterdays dispatches
about the position assumed by Ad
miral Togo are true. If he has sailed
to meet Rojestvensl1y, and all strings
have been loosed by the japanese
government. you may be sure that
he will find Rojestvensky wherever
he may be.

Those people who are impatient
of the condition of the streets must
always remember that the work of
half dozen years must be done over
again. Hold up the hands of the
street and alley committee of the
council, instead of complaining, and
much more will be accomplished.

We cannot see how there can be
! nn,s pyrant ,,tagta,.p ,.aflroaA cAu, n
tions in Colorado which could afford
to ignore Grand junction. So far
every one of the propositions foi
building to Salt Lake have taken
this city into consideration, save the
Moffatt line. which it is proposed
shall run too far north of this sec
ton.

Grand Junction will have a large
contingent of visitors during this
summer. The two great conventions
in the city of Denver-the Epworth
League and the Grand Army of the
Republic-will bring hundreds OF
thousands of visitors to Colorado,
and naturally they will scatter
through the state Grand functions
| civic pride should be sufficient to
have clean streets and pleasant sur
roundings for these visitors to see.
However, without the cooperation of
everybody this will be almost i'm
possible.

There are individuals in every
community that seem to think they
should be especially favored by the
laws. There are no favorites in the
sight of the law; but oftentimes IN
the sight of those whose duty it is
to administer them. No maI has a
right to ask privileges not granted
to his neighbor. Men take advant-
age of laws occasionally because
they argue to themselves that an in
fringement of them works no hard
ship against anyone. But. il some
one nfringes upon law that special
| ly affects them. they are the first to
cry out, and cry the loudest against
those who overlooked their own
shortcomings.

Mayor Speer, in proclamation
which he has just issued regarding
the setting aside of certain day
when all the people of Denver shall
| join in a general cleanup, said "A
city administration can only do GER
tain things. Much depends upon the
individual efforts of our citizens.
| The truth of this last sentence il
self-apparent. 1t depends largely up
On the citizens, If the laws are vel
administered. If there is not an eff
fort made by the citizens to second
the effort of the present city admin
| istration to clean the city, not much
| can be accomplished II is coopera
| tion upon the part of the city auj
| its citizens that makes an irresistible
force for good.

1t is openly charged that the In
dian agent at Fort Duchesne is op
enly abetting the Raven Mining Com
pany. the owner of nearly all the val
liable tracts of elaterite in the reser
walton. to stir up the Indians, so that
the apportionment cannot be made,
and in the meantime. during the In
dian disturbance, settle ON all the
valuable mining claims in the reser-
vation. II these charges can be
proved. that Indian agent ought not
to be given sufficient time to get on
that reservation. We can see where
