that the imposition OF sacred motto

THEODORE, THE REFoRMER.

Fashions change in politics as
much as in clothes, though not so
often. Just now the Roosevelt style
is in the ascendancy. From the GUS
tom made statesman of the national
arena to the shoddy imitation of the
hand-me-down political shop, every
one must have that distinctive cut so
much fancied just now, at least until
It gets on the customers back.
We had not thought Of 1t, perhaps,
but a man of the Mckinley type
would not be at all satisfactory for
presidential candidate next year.
Geniality has given away to vigoi
1t is the difficulty of finding another
possibility his peer in those qualities
Of mind and heart that have made
his administration notable, that has
occasioned the widespread demand
for Roosevelt's reelection.
1t is the popularity of Roosevelt's
policies and Roosevelt's methods that
has brought into public life such
variations of the general type as Joe
Folk. Governor Hughes, Tom John
son and their like. 1t was public
conscience, quicksned by the frank
honesty of the man in the white
house, that made possible the sue
cessful careers of these men.
Roosevelt disclosed to us the fact
that we have public servants capable
and willing TO expose wrongdoing,
and we find the department of jus
tice proceeding mercilessly and ire
sistibly against men and things We
had considered powerful and i'm
mune, and we learn to our shame
that these men remained quiet in the
face of abuses, because they knew
official disgrace and dismissal would
be their portion should their activity
bead them into indiscretion. Backed
by an administration as fearless as
they a noble band of executive
bureau chiefs is performing heroic
duties in the face of odds. The first
task of Roosevelt was to free these
workers from the bonds of red tape
and departmental rust.
Long We hid regarded the execu-
tive branch as the national dispen-
sary of the spoils of politics. and the
interior department the Beulah land
of grafters and thieves. Our presi-
dents were expected to devote their
talents to polysyllabic dissertations
on tariffs, money and foreign rela-
tions.
That is why We shook our heads
when the "hotspur" Roosevelt was
elevated to the chief magistracy. He
was militant. He was impetuous.
Time has revealed the Roosevelt
character and given the American
people opportunity to pass judgment
on his conduct. 1t has confirmed our
early impression. He is militant.
He is impetuous. But Roosevelt has
found field for the play OF his mill
tant spirit against the monopollstic
trusts and the buccaneers of the in
terstate highways His impetuosity
held well in check by poise we little
suspected, makes him Irresistible in
the final clash, when once his course
is laid

The reservoir was virtually
empty Thursday morning. owing
as we are informed, to the fact that
the waste was open for the pur-
pose of reducing the supply on
hand to a point where but four or
five feet would be retained. 1t
occurs to US that if the council
really feels there is danger in
maintaining full reservoir. they
should have accepted Mr.. Bruce's
offer to insure the town against
loss in the sum of $1,000 for $25
premium. He is amply able to
take the risk and it would GER
tainly be easily worth the pitiful
sum to hold a reservoir full Of
water during the summer or until
the season when additional work
can be done on the same. Paonia
is none too safe in case of FIRE,
and we ought to have more than
one fourth of a reservoir full OF
water on hand. While we do not
believe there is PARTICLE OF dan
ger in keeping the reservoir full,
it the council thinks there is, they
had a very safe remedy. the pol
icy offered by Mr.. Bruce. The
people as a class do not care who
carries their insurance. all they
desire is to be safe.

AT the last meeting of the

reason no mention of the fact was

tendent that he was not author
lied TO make any public an
nounccment of the fact. It occurs
to us that the Fitting of the en-
barge should have been as public

ton. This case reminds us too

Among the sports talked of is
three cornered contest of base
ball between clubs selected from
Stewart, German and Pitkin
mesas. These amateur ball games
are full of amusement and we be
lieve that the residents of the
various sections would enjoy a
friendly contest of this nature.
We would suggest that if this is
worked up that Peter Vogel be
made captain of the German
mesa club. B. F. Cowgirl of the
Stewart and George Foote of
Pitkin mesa. AS we said before
this is only suggestion.
The ladies have become inter
ested and we understand that
there will be some rivalry between
the different sections to see which
can show the largest attendance.
From the number of new houses
we see in that section we doubt
not that Bone mesa will be well
to the front in that matter.
