Absolute astonishment' greeted the
conditions of the treaty which has
been agreed upon by the peace am
bassadors of Japan and Russia No
one, not even the most sanguine. be
lieved that Japan after winning such
signal vistories on land and sea
against Russia would retreat from
the normal conditions that victor
in war is supposed to expect. Russia
was beaten more ingloriously than
was France in the Franco Prussian
war, and yet France was compelled
to cede the flower of her provinces.
which was like taking the limb from
the physical body and had to pay
five millards of silver. an indemnity
that startled the world by what II
comprehended in wealth Japan is
to receive no money indemnify. no
interned warships. no cession of land
save portion of Sakhalin. Really
one would think that Russia had de
feated the Miltado's armies and his
fleets. Perhaps 1t had been better
that no battles had been fought from
the start and the matter been settled
by diplomacy. If the offices of Presi-
dent Roosevelt have been for the un-
doing of Japan, it will not meet gen
eral approval by any manner OF
means.

The streets of the city are too
wide. This is the judgment of nearly
everyone who knows anything about
streets in other cities. 1t would be
great economy to the city to have a
half-dozen streets parked. 1t would

a great many people believe thar
an arbitrary order should be made by
the city council that no more plank
sidewalks be laid in this city. There
is much reason in their contention
FOR this order and still there are some
objections, In many towns in Colo
rado of less size than Grand June
tion the order has already been
made and the beauty of those towns
enhanced. Conditions here are some
what different than in those towns
however, many of them are compact
and cover less than one-half the ter
ritory that this city covers. This
reason alone would initiate against
such an order. We do believe
though that there are certain limits
which should be defined. in which
nothing but concrete sidewalk
should be laid. These limits would
include the business district and
along several of the well-traveled
thoroughfares, contiguous to the
business district The clamor for
such an order is not to be treated
lightly and some action looking to
defining districts will doubtless be
made shortly.
