can be trusted-that is. if such men
have no faith in their fellows-those
who make such announcement are
good to be let alone
Every man in politics in this city
| has found conditions thousand
times better with the old mud-sling-
ing policy of the earlier days elimi-
mated from the campaign.
i. !. !.
At one time this city was divided
into two great political camps, ev-
cry mans hand (fguratively) against
his neighbor. The abandonment OF
the policy of vituperation and mud
singing has worked wonders for de
cency in politics.

The opposition may yell Down
the line!" until tired out with the re
frain. The people are not mere pup
pets any more and will vote as theh
consciences and the best interests o.
the city dictate.
Cast vote for Charles H. Wallis
for marshal and show that you car
rise above petty prejudice. No cit
izen who has ever known him but
that believes he is one of the best
men ever placed before the public
for office.

As the time draws near to the day
of election it becomes more and more
apparent that the people propose to
have voice in this election, aside
from any dictation of party leaders.
1t is a good decision to arrive at in
municipal campaign
+ I. +
Stock corporations, where chance
is taken to get rich quick or lose all
find votaries in every city and ham
let in the country. No one would
have thought that Grand Junction
woman would have had the nerve
to undertake so considerable a trans
action as the investment of approx
imately $500 in stock scheme about
which so little could be known al
this distance.
Some roorback will doubtless be
sprung by the republicans as last
measure to force victory out of de
feat But this will be useless and on
ly an insult to the intelligence of the
| voters. These are to be guarded
against, as anything which cannot
bear the light OF publicity and in
vestigation during the fore part OF
the campaign has little of truth left
in it at the close.
The ramihcations of the Spencer
Seedless Apple Incorporation of this
city are becoming worldwide No
single proposition has ever been Civ
en- such wonderful advertisement in
all this western country as has the
seedless apple. with this great ad-
vertisement appearing in the leadnp
magazines. horticultural journals
and newspapers in many countries
has gone an advertisement of Grand
Junction as its home. We have not
yet begun to reap the great benefit
this advertisement may bring us.

II Commissioner Armstrong has done
herculean work in the very few days
so far this spring on which he could
effectively conduct work on the
streets Such streets as he was con
rronted with at the close of the rainy
weather were fright and enough
to make any person quail to tackle
them for their betterment. But the
/ work he has accomplished has been
astonishing to the public and shows
what can be done if an effort is made
and there is money for such expend-
iWre. Main street throughout its
whole length. was nothing more than
a quagmire. as We're a majority OF
the other thoroughfares of the city;
but they are already taking ON form
and deconcy under the work being
done by Commissioner Armstrong
