Why Man is on Earth.

The bad object of all food faddism
is to make food a WEAKNESS and bur-
den. Food is to be nasty. lest we eat
too much of it. Food is to be chewed
to extinction, so as to make a hard
work OF feeding. All of which is ar
rant nonsense and founded on the
wholly foolish idea, which is more and
more obsessing civilization. that man
is on earth to work. He is on earth
to be glad; If he doesn't believe that
he is mad.-Sydney Bulletin.

DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

The democratic party OF Grand Junction, in
convention assembled py ITS representatives
pose OF presenting to the voters OF the city a
municipal ticket for their sufIrages, desire to
hereby renew their allegiance to the principles
OF the democratic party and to again proclaim
their devotion to the interests OF the common
people.
1t is a fundamental principle of free govern
ment that the Will of the people Is its safeguard
and while II is true that in the nation, our op-
ponents, the republican party, have been sue
cessful, because it has the wealth and backing
of corporations with which to prostitute voters
and subvert the will OF the common people,
still the democratic party undismayed Is ever
to the fore in defense of the rights of the masses
which IL represents.
We believe that the democratic party, while
at present the minority party, has great duty
to perform and that in the performance of Il
Is and has been the party of reform and the
party to which the people rely for the eorrec-
tion OF abuses, a fact which Is most evident be-
cause many OF those suggested now in the op-
posite party, for action nothing less than
stolen thunder OF democratic platforms
We believe unQucstionably that il is our party
that the mass OF people look to for reform and
retrenchment. We believe in the execution Of
laws as they are written upon the statute books
and regard 1t as subversive of the principles OF
a true democratic form OF government, to ac-
cord special privileges to the few, against
We invite all those who desire progressive
administration OF the city affairs and those who
desire to have corrected abuses demanded By
the people, to Join with US in the election of our
u
equitable and Just rate Of taxation, that the
burden may be reduced gradually and our
bonded Indebtedness obliterated through the
means OF an economical government.
We pledge our candidates to evolve some
method for permanent street improvements,
later looking to having same paved in the busi-
ness section, also to establish permanent grades.
We pledge our candidates to the enforcement
of the city ordinances and TO that end will in
sist that each and every officer perform such
service to the city, as is contemplated by the
law aud the ordinances.
We lastly pledge our candidates to eco
nomical management Of the citys interests and
later by purchase or erection to control all the
public utilities for the benefit OF the whole peo-
pie and that the administration he watcbful of
the small A. we'll a. the large concerns in which
the people are interested and 20 which they pay

Mir, John E. Stevens, successor of MT, Wallace as chief engineer of the Panama canal, seems to realize that he is not going out to the isthmus for the sake of his health; that enjoyment and financial returns are not all there Is to 1t.
 MT. Stevens is of more robust phy- slque than MT. Wallace. He is man that may be described as willing and able to work with both head and hands. The years spent by him in railroad construction have bronzed his face and strengthened his body; he fairly radiates energy.
 Mir. Stevens is spoken of as a west ern man. but he was born "back east about as far back as you can go. the
