CHILLING TEDDY GOT.

The most complete grilling that has
been given Teddy, since his assump-
tion of the presidency, was that which
was administered to him by Senator
Rayner. in a discussion of the Japa-
nese question. Senator Rayner is
from Maryland and refuses TO believe
in the omnipotence of every act of
the president. He further refuses to
recognize his powers, when they COM
prehend all the functions of govern
ment. executive, legislative, judic-
ial and as Senator Rayner further
puts 1t lawful and unlawful, constl-
tutional and unconstitutional"
Speaking of Teddy's wild idea of
establishing shooting galleries in all
public schools Senator Rayner de-
liyers himself of the following choice
and sententious language, which must
have made Teddy squirm considerab-
" when he read IT., because 1t is the
seeming quintessence of sarcasm.
Here it is, we will paragraph it for
Sentinel readers so that they may
catch the full intent of the language:
1--WE must either disabusc his mind
of this fancy or we must let him know
that we agree as to the omnipotencc
of his jurisdiction.
"Of course If the people have come
to the conclusion that everything that
the president recommends is right,
then there is hardly any use of con-
testing any of his propositions. and
instead of comforting upon him the
power to give Congress information
OF the state of the union, we might
confer upon him the function of Civ
ing his own peculiar views upon the
entire state of the universe and rec
ommcnding any improvements or
changes in the general plan of cren-
ton that he may deem eXpedicnt from
the cradle to the grave"
The whole speech was something
new for Congress and it was listened
to with the closest attention possible
by both sides of the chamber

SYSTEM WILL BE BUILT.

The mountain water system for the
CITY Of Grand Junction, must and
will be built. The council at the pres.
ent moment is like the fiugurative
"mnn up tree" but without any ques-
tiOn of doubt whatever, ways and
means will he devised to cir
cumvcnt The Vaccinations of the man
ufacturers of the various kinds of
pipe for the system. who have un-
unqcstionably been the bar in the way
of letting the contract for construc-
ton.
Ii must be confessed that the pipe
line men, must have thought the may
or and city council were u set of dubs
and would stand for any price that
they saw tit TO make for pipe When
the first contracts We're turned down
they were somewhat dumfoumded. In
order To make il appear that they
. were forced 10 place the price of
wooden stavc pipe at the price they
did 10 the contractors the first time,
they did not reCedc one cent in price,
when il came to giving the contract
ors the price of the pipe for second
bid, but instead to give color TO their
first price, raised the price of pipe six
dollars per thousand feet for slaves.
Ii is most unfortunate and very dis
couraging TO council and the Citizcr,'
of Grand Junction that the work of
construction must he temporarily de
laycd, but ii certainly is only tcmpor-
ary.. The city's engineers, McssI-s.
| Kelsey x Young, are actively at work
devising some plan whereby either a
contract will be secured for building
the system as a whole or in parts. II
il can he arranged the plan will he
outlined so that the city may build
and construct the system itself.
The same condition of affairs exist
ed at Trinidad, as now exists here.
Mayor Nichols several months ago,
while in this city forwarned Mayor
Bunting and members of council to be
on their guard and not day has pass
ed since that time that every move
mcnt has not been watched TO aSCcr-
tain whether II combination existed.
On behalf of the individuals and con-
tracing firms, who made bids on the
system, il can be said that they were
at the mercy of the pipe line men and
had no other recourse than to sub
init their bids I'm accordance with
the price per thousand feet of pipe
or slaves. The manufacturers of
the wooden stavc pipe bciuge the sole
been and are now anxious to construct
the line, but they never will at the
prices they made in their last con-
tracts. When IL is considered that
the price of each and every cOntraC-
/ tor was from twenty-five to fifty
l thousand dollars higher than il was
at the last submission of bids, it can
| be seen that the council was being
combined against and they had only
one thing TO do, turn down without
discussion every bid submitted. Coun-
ell does not propose % countenanCc the
citiZerss being held up in the matter
of the construction of the proposed
system and il II takes year TO Sc
cure better prices, they can afford
to wait.
Grand junction has had person
nj demonstration of the grip of the
lumber trust, in attempting to Sc
cure equitable bids for the construC-
ton of its mountain water system.
Speed the day that this monster trust
octopus is dismembered by the nation-
al government.

IN NIENIORIANI.
Lovins +. Ingersoll, VI. ID.

He was a MANN all that word
portends,
Most tolerant of his foes and loyal
to his friends;
Humane toward all who sought his
kindly aid
Gentle in act and word, but unafraid.
Ger the bed of anguish wise and
brave,
But tender as a child at the new
made grave.
The world has lost a MAN-and we a
friend
Who labored for the sick until the end
Whose aid was never sought and
sought in vain,
Whose thoughts were for the sick
and not for gain.
No nobler task has ever blessed this
fallen sphere.
Than efforts spent to dry the falling
tear;
And none there was who toiled with
less complaint
1t mattered not-for sinner, or for
saint.
Regardless of the storm or needed
rest.
He smiling went and bravely did his
best.
His creed, we do not know. but well
we know his acts;
We trust that they-what e'er It
mayhap lacks
Will stand in place of words; and, in
its stead,
Bestow a blessing rich and full
upon the dead!

Commissioner of Internal Revenue
 Gives Accounts of Receipts
 Washington, Dec. 2.--The annual rec port of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue John W. Yerkes, for the pass fiscal year. shows the total receipts Of S24e,10 ,73s, an excess of S14,9l4,761 over the preceding year while the re- ceipts for the current year show re- ceipts for the first three months Of the current wear an increase in collee tions of s4,6s1,131 over the correspond ing months last year.
 Commissioner Yerkes says he believes the total revenues In the current ts- cal year will aggregate $26O.ooOQoO.. During the year there vas collected from the tax on distilled spirits $lS6'- e65 9t1; on termcnted liquors S64,S5l . 636 on tobacco, $4s,422,2sT.
 The report discusses the enactment or the free alcohol bill passed at the last session of Congress and says great benefit will be derived by the people at large from this legislation and says that instead of the production of alec hol being as now confined to large distilleries it is most probable that within the course of brief period small cooperative dIstllleries will be constructed throughout the country operated under governmental supervis ion but eventually producing alcohol at cheaper price and perhaps from cheaper substances than is the rule at present
