Marshal Wallis promises to round
up the hoboes and keep them NOV
ing. Much expense would be saved
the county If these gentry could be
given due notice that Grand juno
tion is no safe place Tor them to
make their headquarters. 1t is to
be hoped that such notice as will
keep the flood tide of this class away
from the city will be spread broad
cast, because it is the purpose to not
tolerate them in the quantities that
have visited us lately.

1t is timely that the last city coun-
ell. as their closing official act. broad
ened the boundary lines of the fire
limits. To permit shacks of all kinds
to build up around the proposed
handsome new union station is not
business, and menaces the property.
not only of the railroad companies.
but of those whose intention is TO
build buildings in comport with the
proposed changes. Already there are
many unsightly shacks in that vicin-
ity. which spoils the perspective from
the station.

This is Holy week During this
week devout Christians everywhere
observe the very strictest regime up
on their personal lives We believe
it is right to celebrate the week as it
is celebrated. but we cannot under
stand why week only should come
in our lives for publication purposes.
To be a Christian in the fullest sense.
in our Judgment requires that all
weeks shall be holy. consistent
Christian should be such on the
Fourth of July as well as at Christ
mas or during Holy week.

Boulder is enjoying the sensation
of hearing magnificent chime of
bells. presented to St. Johns p. e.
church of that city through the kind
ness of H. n. Bradley of Denver. who
laid the foundations of his fortune
in Boulder. Would that some for
tunate Grand Junctionite would
strike it rich and present some one of
the city churches with a chime of
bells. Nothing Is quite so sweet on a
Sabbath morning as to hear the beau
tiful Ginning of bells. rendering some
of the old hymns of mighty power
The influence for good that they pos
sess is wonderful, calming troubled
spirits and making men better for
having heard them.

Governor Folk has closed every
grocery in St, Louis on the Sabbath.
Some of the downtown restaurants
have closed up in sympathy with the
saloons Governor Folk should now
issue an order TO those sympathizing
restaurants to keep closed when the
desire to open up returns to their
proprietors. If 1t is the law that sa-
1 looms shall remain closed in St. Louis
I on the sabbath day, the law should
be enforced. At one time Grand
| Junction. away out on the border
l land of civilization tolerated open
saloons. The sentiment against them
l was such that they closed and the
proprietors have had the good sense
to obey the mandate of public senti-
ment, without recourse to law The
time of open saloons in Grand June
tion has long since passed, and nc
one desires a return to the old con
dition.

business men of Denver who will ar
rive in this city on May .? This
is matter that would properly com,
before the Chamber of Commerce

take the matter up on Friday nigh

be short, as the time of the party il

pm. But. aside from the duty i'm
posed upon the Chamber of Com

the matter and join with the Cham

business men of Denver. The Senti
mel Will hope to present to its read
ers and the public generally a ful
program of the matter of entertain
ment in it's saturday issue.

L 1t is hard, in this modern day. L,
believe an assertion that a morta
man has stood face to face with Go,
and talked TO him. This, however, i
the claim of Evan Roberts, the grea
Welsh evangelist. The ministration
of this man have changed the who'll
aspect of religion in Wales. So in
sistent is Roberts that he has tallSe,
face to face with God, that Stead, tn
great London journalist went to hi
home and conversed with him upoi
the subject. when we take into con
siderRtion what Christ said to Moses
Thou canst not see Ny face. 70
Il there Shau no man see Me and live,
Vlt Is hard to believe that Roberts
claim is true. But SO wonderful ar
the results OF Roberts crusad
against evil, and so wonderful an i'm
press has he made on all classes il
\ Wales that one is wonder struck a
his power and can only undertal<
to believe that 1t must have divin
origin.
