land. The situation developed so rap
idly that it was only few days after
the landing of the American peace
commissioners in Cuba that the de-
cision was made to re-establlsh Amer
lean authority in the island. The army
and navy officers had had but little
time to prepare for such a movement
of troops and vessels of war as be-
came necessary. yet the emergency
found them ready for the task in hand.
There was no delay in sending war
ships and marines and blueJacketS to
Cuban waters, and the moment it was
known that soldiers too, would be
needed orders were given for the regi-
ments to be on the move, mobilization
was begun, transports were provided
and embarkation of troops proceeded
with the utmost promptitude.
When the brigade of $50 marines
under Major Wendell C. Neville was
landed in Havana and conveyed by
trolley cars to Camp Columbia the
movement was accomplished with such
precision that no hitch of any kind Oc-
Cured, and the "webfoOted soldiers"
were stationed at their post Of duty al
most before the Cubans knew what
had happened. When President Roose-
welt telegraphed Acting Secretary of
War Oliver, Arrange for 5000 troops
to start for Cuba as soon as possible"
the acting secretary was able to wire
Secretary Taft at Havana shortly aft
erward, Troops now moving" and to
add that he expected to complete the
shipment Of the entire force In ten days.
The difference between these condi-
tons and those which prevailed when
Cuba was first occupied by American
forces in 1898 suggests that our army
and navy have learned much from
their experiences Of the past eight
years in Cuba, the Philippines and
China and that much benefit has re-

the island has been first in command

hard worker and has seen service on
all kinds of duty. Born in Kentucky
in 1856, he attended the public schools
and then went to West Point, from
which he graduated In 1878 with an
excellent record to his credit. For
some years he saw service in the west.

less and venturesome Indian fighter.
He was on the Pacific coast when war
was declared against Spain and sailed
for Manila as major of volunteer en-
gineers and participated in the attack
on that city. It was at Manila that he
performed a feat which for bravery
and endurance was unsurpassed In the
annals of the campaign-that Of swim
ming at night around the Spanish
earthworks fronting on the bay In
search Of information. Congress evinc-
ed its belief that General Bell Is no
''tin soldier" when it awarded him a
medal Of honor for gallantry in action.
General Bell assumed the duties of
chief of staff last spring just in time
to supervise the arrangements for CIV
ing aid through the army to the strick-
en- people of San Francisco. Brigadier
General Funston was active in that
work, and singularly enough he and
General Bell are again closely asso-
ciated in the occupation Of Cuba.
Though General Bell has been ordered
there so as to supervise to the best adj
vantage the disposition of troops and

mediate command of the troops de-

When the transport Sumner sailed
from New York with 900 regulars for
service in Cuba she had ON board a
young officer Of engineers whose name
Is household word not only in the
United States, but all over the world.
This officer was Lieutenant Ulysses S.
Grand Sd, son Of Major General Fred
erick D. Grant, commander Of the de-
partment Of the east. Being grandson
Of one of the greatest soldiers of the
time, he inherits a love for the smell
Of gunpowder, and his chief fear has
been that his country would see no
more war during his lifetime. He was
born in 1881, and one of the last acts
Of his distinguished grandfather was to
write letter addressed to The Pres
ident of the United States" asking for
the present Lieutenant Grants appoint
ment to West Point. 1t was handed to
President Mckinley in 1899, ana thus
the appointment the elder General
Grant desired was made. The young
man made a fine record at the acade-
my, better than that of his GRANDPA
Their, but. as an old officer put it, ''he
will have to work some to beat him as
a soldier" Lieutenant Grant has seen
service in the Philippines and has been

We recommend that such practice be
discontinued and that all timber and
wood be preserved for the necessities OF
the poor farm.
We have also visited and examined the
jail and find it as we'll kept as the pres
ent facilities will admit We recommend
that sewer pipes bo put in for the pur-
pose of getting rid of securing water and

be adopted for supplying the prisoners
with drinking water.
We have not made examinations of the
county Offices at this time, deferring that
work until the next term of Court.
We are aware that the County Com
mssioners of this county are greatly
hampered by reason of the large number
of bridges that have had to be rebuilt,
ontailing large expenditure of money,
and we comrend their zeal in striving to
meet these difficulties. Yet we would
recommend that, in view of the vital i'm
portance of good roads, they experiment
on the worst places in some one or more
of the most important roads by raising
the roadbed in low places, thoroughly
draining same and using sand in heavy
layers on the clay. And for the purpose
of preserving sand for this purpose, we
recommend that they forbid the use of
sand from the public highways for pr-
vate purposes. This experimental work
can be done by the county force without
a great expenditure of money. Several
bad places in the public roads have been
brought to our attention and VIC recon-
mend that those having knowledge of
such places needing attention bring the
matter to the attention of the County
Commissioners and that said County
Commissioners have same repaired as
promptly as possible.
We recommend that the County Com
missioners and all the Magistrates COM
ply with the law as to the examination
of Magistrates's dockets and constables'
costs. And we will expect this recon-
incubation to be complied with.

THE DENVER MIDDLE.

The efforts of both Democrats and
Republicans in Denver to get away
from corporation rule is an encourage
ing sign of the times. While the ins
and outs of Denver politics may not
be familiar to people without the
city, enough is apparent to the casual
reader to convince him that men or
ganized under state laws to carry on
Legitimate business enterprises in
perfectly legitimate manner have not
been satisfied with a moderate meas
ure of success, have not been cour-
agous enough to face competition like
the individual with the small means,
have not cared to take chances on
rising or falling as natural condi-
tions, aided by business acumen, may
afford opportunities. But entrenched
behind the power that immense
wealth gives, they become brazen,
and with that dull, rooted, callous
mpudence, which dead to shame and
every nicer sense, ne'er blushed,
they seek to gain advantages by pros
tituting organizations formed for pat
riotic purposes. They get possession
of committees, control primaries and
nominate for offices men who, while
they may not be positive powers in
serving ends desired, are negative
in guarding the public from the in
roads of insatiate greed. They care
naught for the success of this or that
party, If they have things fixed"
This is not confined to Denver, but
the conditions in Denver illustrate
that which is too prevalent through
out the country. Men who do this
are guilty of graver crime than
the highwayman who holds up a
train. The highwayman robs the in
dividual, the other fellow robs the
public of valuable privileges, defeats
the high aim of men who stand for
party organizations for the purpose
of perpetuation of the institutions of
his country, destroys the self-respect
and manhood of those who act as his
tools, and is a constant menace to
his country in that he is an educa-
tor who blunts the sensibilities of
thousands of his fellow men, and
breaches the doctrine that 1t is no
crime to be disloyal to the institu-
tions of his country. In times of war
such a crime would meet with
speedy and drastic punishment that
needs no description, but in times
of peace it is tolerated, though none
the less pernicious in its results.
Public conscience needs to be quick
ened along these lines, and the eff
forts of the best party men in both
parties in Denver to shake off this
old man of the sea will meet with
hearty applause, throughout the
state
