WHY JAPAN WINS.

The practical destruction of Ro-
/ jestvensky's fleet demonstrates the
evolution of modern beyond anti
quated methods.
Say what we please about the yell
low race, the survival of the fittest
/ is a fact that must be considered in
the evolution of times, conditions and
peoples. whether it be in the prog
ress of the white, the yellow or the
/ black races.
/ Spain in her glory dashed her sup
| posedly invincible Armada against
| England's coasts in vain endeavor
4 to wrest from her the ports that
commanded the world. The glory of
Spain has faded Russia, then in her
zenith, has at this late day discov-
cred her weakness, and new power
has been born to the world.
The nations must take account OF
Japan because her people are valor-
GUS, patriotic and in the march of
progress. They have imbibed the
ideals of the nineteenth century car
ried on into vast outlook of the TWEEN
tieth century. Against the clean and
orderly progress of such race the
Slavs present a poor front as repre-
senting the uplift of the Anglo-SaX-
on peoples.
The Japanese have won and will
continue to win because clean.
rising and well-conditioned govern
ment Is set against a brutal and au-
tocratic power which should long ago
have been laid in the tombs.

Merchants and citizens generally
should endeavor to get it before the
public in their private and business
correspondence that this city is the
natural gateway to the Uintah reser-
vation.

We have a feeling that our mer-
chants are Understanding to them
selves the Importance commercially
of the opening of the Uintah reserva-
tion. II this opening Will attract
4 the attention of the people through
out the country proportionately as
did the opening of the other govern
ment reservations, Grand Junction
ought 10 profit greatly. This city is
the natural gateway to that reserva-
tion. The lands of the uintah coun-
try are finer than the lands of many
of the other reservations which at
tracted hundreds and thousands OF
settlers. We should make this city
the gateway, which it is naturally,
to the lands of that reservation, and
make it plain to intending settlers
that they can outfit in this city ad-
vantageously.

The people of Clifton complain
that they cannot get their papers
from this city in the evening. II this
is true statement of matters. it is
shame, indeed. A mail pouch Is
thrown off at Clifton every night
from train No. g. and 1t should con
tain the evening papers from this
city. The daily papers here make n
desperate effort to reach the mail
each night, and there is no reason
whatever why the papers should not
be part of the pouch mail that is
flung off at Clifton every night. 1,
there is a reason why 1t should not
be done, we shall make 1t our bus
ness to find out that reason. The
fault may lay with the mail clerks.
who may presume that the papers are
not of sufficient Importance to be in
cluded in the mail delivered from
here to that point in the evening. II
that is their judgment. we beg leave
to differ from them.

Denver has secured its first shoe
factory. This is the opening wedge
in that class of business. There are
no shoe factories west of St. Louis
and Chicago. according to our infor-
nation. There is a vast territory to
be supplied. and there is no reason
why it should not be done from the
most important western city. St.
Louis is the largest shoe manufactur-
ing center in America today, not even
the great state of Massachusetts be
ing excepted. Denver has a right to
presume that factory can be main
tanned which Will partially supply the
western demand. On the same prin-
ciple there is no reason why Grand
Junction should not begin to antici-
pate the establishment of factories
for the manufacture of supplies. We
have a geographical position which
entities us to expect that in the near
future such industries shall be es-
tablished here. w ecan begin in
small way and grow into a larger
measure of usefulness.
