We shall endeavor to make a live
mayoral figurehead

The other paper is endeavoring to
make the public believe something
about Mayor Bunting that it does not
believe itself. Evidently that paper
believes the public is easily fooled.

What position we shall occupy on
the a'dermanic board. notwithstand-
ing the republican organ thinks we
shall only be a fgurehead. is not con
cerning us nearly so much as what
can be done for the upbuilding OF
the city.
We have labored hard to secure
the cooperation of the republican
organ in the Boosters Club" but in
vain. That paper much prefers to
backcap, impede and obstruct the car
of progress than TO get aboard the
train and boost. There is always
hope, however. even to turn an edi-
tor from the evil of his ways.

Aldermen Platt. Davies and Smith
of the democratic side of the council
will prove 10 the public before the
year is out that they have selected
three of the best men the party has
to guard their interests. These men
are business men of capacity and will
endeayor to conserve the city's af-
fairs for the best good of all and not
for political reasons.

II Alderman AllIire has already Civ
en- evidence that the republicans
made a wise selection when they
nominated him for office. He won't
even attempt to play as narrow as
the republican organ would have him
do. The broad and narrow physical
difference, as seen in the alderman
and the editor. is about the differ
ence in their breadth of mind

If you have good thought that
may be used for the upbuilding of
Grand Junction, such as is used at
the top of the first page of The Sen
tinel, send it to us on a postal card
or by letter and we will be glad to
use it, if in our judgment it is wor-
thy. We need encouragement at all
times. and we believe that the line
that appears there does help things
along for Grand Junction.

While both the men who are named
for the Office of school director are
well qualified to fill that position. we
believe that the residents and pat
rons of the schools located in that
portion of the school district outside
of the city limits should have repre-
sentation and we therefore favor
Robert A. Orr for the position. II
has generally been conceded hereto
fore that one director should come
from that district. William Bonn
gardner was representative of that
district and in selecting Mr. Orr.
large property owner and man
whose interests are varied, the pat
rons of the schools are only doing
the natural thing.

An honest thief" is a mlsnomer.
although figure of speech used to
distinguish between the thief who has
no principle whatever and the one
that has left n lingering spark and
who attempts occasionally to make
square deal" Bigelow. the Milwau-
/ lee bank thief. would never be
charged with being an honest thief 90
lie stole and used other peoples |
money. but was careful to protect
his own investments. He now takes |
advantage of the bankruptcy law and |
his dupes and creditors are left high |
and dry, while, with great batch
of property in his wife's name. he is |
safe from the pangs of poverty. But
what of his dupes? There can doubt
less be found on the statute books of
the state of Wisconsin laws that con
tain punishment sufficient for even /
Bgelow. who seemed to totally dis
regard the honor of a gentleman. but |
! it is a great question whether he Will |
be punished at all.

George ]. Kindel gives the Denver |
business mems excursion some hard |
nuts to crack. while en- route on their
journey. He asks them to note that |
cotton fabrics can be shipped to |
Grand Junction via Utah points from |
New York for $3.50 per hundred
weight while by shipping via Den
Yer it costs ss.4o. He also invites
them to note the fact that at Provo.
Utah. that city can show freight rates |
that are almost the lowest in the
country. He certainly points out
avenues for Investigation which the
club would be wise to take note of
on their trip. II Denver hopes for
a continuation of the business of the
state. it must assist interior points
to better rates. The rates In ex-
istence, says Mr.. Kindel. makes Col
