to examine the stock at their leisure.

may want, and, seeing no one Mt hand,
the temptation to get something for
nothing IL too much for him. He slips
the coveted article into his pocket, but

You Bet We Do.

that tends to prosper and Dulld
up this valley, that cements the
friendship between the surround
ing towns; and is against every
thing that tends to create dis
cord or strife and threatens to
divide or injure the valley. We
believe the Independent will sub
scribe heartily to this doctrine.
The above is the concluding
paragraph in an editorial pub
lished in last weeks Montrose
Press, which was inspired by an
article in the INDEPENDENT with
regard to w. L. Woods expert
ence at Montrose and later at
Delta, and in which the follow
ing sentence was used: Dur
ing his residence at Montrose he
had not visited Delta, having ab-
sorbed the extreme prejudice of
that community against this part
of the valley"
The Press denies this purported
prejudice and manifests a COM
mendable disposition to be friend
ly and fair. The INDEPENDENT
has not charged this prejudice to
the papers at Montrose nor to
the leading business and profess
sional men, for they certainly
have sense enough to realize that,
as the Press says, our interests
are identical.
But we have charged, in a re-
cent editorial, which the editor
of the Press has evidently over
looked, that certain parties of
Montrose try to keep new comers
from this part of the valley by
claiming it is alkali, seep, adobe;
that prices on land worth any
thing are inflated and all sorts of
unjust lies. The Press will not
have to guess hard to locate at
least the business calling Of those
Montrose citizens who have done
these things. 1t is not neces-
sary to rehearse what we wrote
in that former editorial, but we
have gone to the pains to send
our worthy contemporary a
marked copy of that paper.
We did not make these charges
without knowing whereof we
spoke. Our information came
from the man who was told these
things and while not at present
a citizen of this state, we have
reason to believe he is man of
truth and honor. The party we
mention was not the only one,
however. The offense has been
repeated several times.
We heartily commend the par
agraph quoted above and Delta
is willing to join in the most
amicable relations with all Un-
compahgre valley towns, but
Delta will resent, as forcibly as
possible, any attempt on the
part of Montrose real estate men,
to place discredit on this part of
the valley. If people do not
want to buy there and wish to
come here, let them come with
unpoisoned minds, without pre-
iudice and then let them take

Vincent Was I rue.

Inc republican caucus, Dy
practically unanimous vote, Sc
lected Simon Guggenheim as its
candidate for United States SEN
ator and this means his election.
The vote, however, does not mean
that he was the sincere first choice
of so large per centage of the
republican members of the house
and senate. Plenty of good, true
republicans were against Mr..
Guggenheim, but, realizing that
he would win by a large majority,
they fell in line in order to better
themselves in the way of commit
tee appointments and general
stand-in with the powers that be.
Hon. M. D. Vincent, represent
ative from Delta county, objected
to the manner in which the eau
Gus had been called, claiming
that it was machine made; en-
gineered by Chairman Vivian of
the state committee without con-
sultation with the legislators and
therefore irregular and not bind
ing. When the caucus met a res
olution was introduced binding
the members of the caucus to un-
animously support the caucus
nominee. Mr.. Vincent made an
address in which he told his fel-
low members of the legislature
that his constituents were op-
posed to Mr.. Guggenheim, that
he had practically promised not
to vote for him; that he would
refuse to vote on the resolution
and if it carried he would be un-
der the necessity of withdrawing.
The resolution carried and Mr..
Vincent walked out.
Some will criticise him for his
action, claiming there was moth
ing to be gained by holding out
against overwhelming defeat and
that he had just as we'll have
wheeled in line and saved his
prestige, thus securing better
committee appointments and 9TH
er favor thruout the session.
The INDEPENDENT must disa-
gree with this position. Mr.. Vim
cent could not be true to himself,
nor to his public utterances dur
ing the campaign and support
Mr.. Guggenheim. In his address
es he stated that he would refuse
to support for senator any man
whose predominating qualifica-
ton was his wealth, nor one who
was not known to be in harmony
with the policies of President
Roosevelt.
Prior to the caucus Mr.. Gug-
genheim had made no public ut
terance defining his position and
this paper believes Mr.. Vincent
honored himself in standing prac-
tically alone against a man who
would not be thought of for the
position of senator were it not for
his money. Mr.. Vincent has dem
onstrated that he will not tell his
constituents one thing during the
campaign and do another after
securing their favor.
The INDEPENDENT believes the
people Of Delta county, regard
less of party, will endorse his
stand and that they will honor a
man who honors himself by stick
ing to his word.

FRIENDSHIPS OPENING.

IT HE Friendship Fire Companys handsome
a new home was formally opened on We'd
nesday evening and one of the pleasant incidents
was the presentation Of flag by the women of
the neighborhood as mark of goodwill towards
the company 1t was really sort of neighbor-
hood gathering although the city officials and
officials of the other companies were present
Bishop Coleman is a resident of the Friendship
Company's district, and it was therefore, fitting
that he should deliver an address.
The Friendship Company is peculiarly popular
in its own locality and there is always the best
of feeling between the people OF the district and
the fremen Both the company and the people
who feel that the Friendship is their company,
have reason for congratulation. The company has
handsome new home, an ornament to the city,
and credit to the hremen.

Colonel Townsend, in the current issue of the
Milford Chronicle, announces that the circulation
of his paper has reached more than 1000 copies
weekly, which is, indeed, remarkable experience
for a Delaware weekly that has to depend chiefly
on local patronage. The Chronicle, Colonel
Townsend says has had a circulation for the last
two years Of more than 5000 copies weekly. As
a result of the increased circulation and the
added expense in the cost of producing the
paper, the advertising rates will be advanced. The
Chronicle has been we'll supported by the mer
chants of the town, who realize the value Of
proper publicity. And the Chronicle gives a
timely hint on advertising when it says. 1T is
necessary to write advertisements truthfully as
well as attractively-then change them frequently
and the people will do the rest-if you have the

How few enterprisng men can help their
communities is shown by the experience Of the
Milton Canning House Building Company, which
having accomplished its purpose, has been dis
banded. Five years ago, says the Milton Times,
there was not a packing house in Milton and the
farmers wers, forced to haul their produce to
Ellendale and Harbeson. Public-spirted people
OF the town got together and decided to build two
structures for factories and rent them 10 the cam
ners. This was done, the buildings rented and
as a consequence Milton is one of the centers of
the packing industry in Sussex county.

INDUSTRIAL WORK AT HOME.

HOSIERY manufacturers of Norristown, Pa,
- have adopted a new method of dealing
with the problem of the scarcity of labor by pac-
ing knitting machines in the homes of girls who
object to working in the mills. They can make
pin money at odd intervals. These machines are
run by small electric motors and the plan is said
to be successful. The mill managers are glad TO
follow the plan, it has been discovered that the
od-iashioned equipment of big engines and net
work of shafting and belts is extremely wastefuh
as compared with the system Of distributing
power by means of wires and applying it directly
to each machine by means of a small electric
motor. Indeed in many factories the individual
motor system is rapidly displacing the old methad
and with the scheme OF individual motors the
work in the homes may again become an inpor-
tant factor in industrial production

GRAFTERs AND THE CAMPAIGN.

IT HE JOURNAL trusts that the present cam
4 paign over the liquor question will not de-
generate into a mere grating affair. That is one
of the serious problems that confronts the liquor
men, and it concerns all good citizens.
Undoubtedly number of people in Delaware
are earnestly in favor of the prohibition OF the
liquor traffic in the State, and other
are strongly opposed TO prohibition. An
other class regards this contest as a scheme by
which they believe they will have an opportunity
to sell their votes to the highest bidder The
liquor men, naturally they believe will be their
prey. They want to get what they can from
them. If the liquor men are wise, we believe they
will at once shut down upon the grafters. If they
are easy marks for the graters the future for the
liquor men is clear. They will be continually
confronted by an election on this question, III
which they will be expected to put up large
su mof money for these vote-seling wretches and
grafters of higher order, and this will be an
enormous tax upon their resources. They would
soon weary Of it.. No man wants to engage in
business where he is continually held up.
The better plan would be for the election to be
held strictly on its merits

Proper punishment of school children who need
correction is again being considered by the New
York City educational authorities. Some time
ago bodily punishment was abolished, but now
complaint is made that sparing the rod is spelling
the children. Superintendents of the schools
have informed members of the Board of Educa-
ton that the doing away with whippings has had
bad effect upon the unruly pupils. An investi-
CATION is to be made and the rod may be restored
The superintendents believe that the holding of
the rod in reserve, to be used in cases of extreme
necessity, would be the best way to solve the
problem.
