The daily sentinel., 1907-10-02

ly at the conclusion of one Of Senator
LaFoIlette's great lectures on public
questions that II LaFollette was
republican he could hardly determ-
inc what he was. as those Things
which were stated by Senator La
Toilette were the things he subscribed
to as a whole as matters OF pubic
polity. Therefore, either LaFollette
was a democrat or the issues OF the
two parties were now about the
same. Undoubtedly Mr.. Patterson
has upon more than one occasion mad
great difficulty in determining to
what party he really belonged.
AAA
Between the issues of the rank and
file of the democratic and repuoli-
can parties at the present time there
is little or no difference, is asserted
every day by men of national repu-
tation. The issues against which
both are struggling are the advance
of the trusts and combines and the
absorption of trade by great incor-
porations. We believe there is ST.
lently going on at the present time
in the minds of the American peo-
pie a reallignment for the next grea-
national campaign.

A strike Of the railway telegra-
piers at this time would almost par
alyze business along the lines of the
Rio Grande system. OF course the
great danger period of the shipment
of fruits that are perishable III a
short time is nearly over. Our next
great crop-the fall and winter ap-
ples-can be held without any very
great loss If there were not a means
of transportation. But other busi-
ness interests would suffer tremen-
dously, if for any reason traffic
should be stopped on the Rio GranGe.
1t is hoped some measure of COM
promise will be reached in the ne6o-
tiatlons between the grievance COIN
mittee of the railway telegraphers
and the general management of the
Rio Grande.

The opening of the Western Uni
versity of Industries. Science and
Arts, marks an epoch in the educa-
tional facilities to be offered the PEG
pie of the western slope. While it
is not hoped by the faculty and the
board of trustees to present the full
measure of work to the students the
first year, each year will find it
broadening and becoming the prlnci-
pal factor IN the education of the
youth of western Colorado. To those
who have taken an interest in the
progress and development of the pro-
posed institution there is every III
dication that the plans and hopes of
its projectors will be fulfilled in a
very few years. Every such institu-
ton has to have a beginning, and
those which have been more particu-
larly successful have had n small be
ginning, so that the day has not ye.

small things of life, as that inerad-

The most terrific warfare that has
ever been waged between two news
papers in the west is on between
Patterson's News and the
Post of Tammen & Bonfils. The
'harges made yesterday by the News
hat the Post, which paper has been
oudly clamorihg that it was selling
'oal to bust the trust. had sold out
o the coal companies in Denver, are
he most sensational yet made and
Il looks as though this time the
News has the Post convicted.
AAA
Yesterday was published the state
ment of the Glenwood Post. the new
daily publication of that place,
which started as morning publ
cation and then determined that Il
was the afternoon paper that the
people wanted. is another evidence
that the afternoon paper is the pa
per which the people read. The Sen
tinel has never believed otherwise.
and with the experience of morn
Ing publication in the field for per
iod of six months that its faith in
the afternoon publication is strong
er than ever.
