behind grim walls right in the best
period Of their lives is an awful pun
ishment. but not an undeserved one
Never have young men deceived the /
public as have these brothers. They
had the appearance of upright young
men In fact, they would have been
mistaken at any time for the model
boys of any community; but their
faces wore the masks of their hypoc-
risy, as is so often the case. 1t
should be warning that should not
go unheeded by the young men in
this city, whose tastes and ideas are
tending in the direction toward their
downfall. A time comes when the
quickest and those with the most
nerve weaken and are caught. The
punishment is ten times harder than
any qualification that they may have
ever enjoyed from the proceeds Of
their iniquitous lives.

There is a cartoon on the first page
of the Denver News of Friday which
every citizen of Colorado should sec
and ponder over. 1t tells more than
columns of editorial writing could
possibly tell. 1t represents Colorado
as woman on her knees, with hei
whole being in the act of suppllca
tion. hands raised to high heaven.
Standing over her is a man, sup
posed to be Dick Broad. the leader of
the gerrymandering forces, with a
long blacksnake whip in his hands,
raised as If ready to strike. Tagged
to the end of the whip is a placard
upon it, At the bottom of the pic
ture is the line, Now will you be a
good corporation state?" In the dis
tance is Colorado's capitol. a stream
er at the top of the dome bearing the
inscription. the words of Waldron,
Peabodys attorney, Might is right.
1t tells with most awful clearness
how this state is now governed. But
even in the darkness confronting us
there is hope, because no one can
make us believe that the people will
not revolt against such condition

There is every reason in the world
why Grand Junction should move
forward the present year. Indeed
there has been no time in it's history
when things looked quite so promis-
ing. However, it must be saved from
the hands of the professional polite
ian-those who cannot see anything
worth while in the city save the stir
ring of political ideas. The boss"
must be eliminated as we'll. He lives
and thrives off the public's dissen-
sions. On the other hand, we must
save ourselves from the fanatic-the
one idea man, who believes that
town or city is on the road to perdi-
tion, because men with liberal ideas
would see it move forward on lines
upon which every city of any growth
or agree on any settled policy, but
we may take the best of all and
from them evolve the very best con
dition for growth and advancement.

The Unaweep mining district will
not down The men who have pinned
their faith to that district will. in
our belief. yet reap rich and lasting
returns. 1t is not now nor has It
ever been considered a high grade
district; but there are mountains of
low grade ore there, and the momen-

claims and are interested in the dis
trict is how to smelt the ore on the
ground. The Western Slope com
pany has, in our opinion. gone about
the matter in an intelligent way, and.
with their smelter on the ground,
will do wonders for the camp. The
man of little faith never does ac-
complish much, and we believe yet
that we shall be proud that Grand
Junction is the supply point for all
the Unaweep district.

There is a condition of civic recti-
tude, not represented by either the
preacher or the moralist. 1t is
condition which is the outgrowth of
men with high ideals. of high pur-
pose, who. in time of stress, make
those who violate the law ten times
more afraid of their punishment than
that which they might receive under
the administration of either of the
two first named.
