For advertisers there is a
lesson in the following anecdote
from the San Francisco Argonaut
namely, that in proving ones
case care should be taken to
avoid arguments and examples
from which a deduction other
than that intended may be drawn.
A temperance lecturer, who
wished to prove to his audience
the deadly power of whisky,
caused a drop of water to be
magnihed and thrown upon a
magic lantern screen. The pic
ture was a terrible one. Worms
bigger than pythons, crabs bigger
than elephants, spiders the size of
a ship, fought together in the
drop of water like fends in the
internal regions. The lecturer
now caused drop of whiskey to
be added to the water. The ef-
feet was marvellous. The liquor
killed all those ferocious horrors
instantly. Their vast claws and
tentacles and feelers stiffened. All
became peaceful and still An
old lady in the front row whis-
pered hoarsely in her husbands
ear: "Wall Jabez, that settles me.
I'll never drink water again 'thout
putin some whiskey in it."-Ex.

We admire them tor the way
they stand together in emergen-
cies and invite the western slope
to take a few lessons from their
example. When we become
students at their feet we shall
soon wake up to a realization
that we are past masters in the
art of self-preservation-preser-
vation not only for ourselves To-
cally, but for the entire western
and southern part of Colorado.
Boys of the newspaper frater-
nifty; are you ready to lay aside
your hopes locally and do all
your talking for the genearl inter.
est of your portion of the state by
promoting and encouraging unity
of action by all parties.

We may as well understan d
that our bill for an appropriation
tor a normal school at Grand
Junction has been killed, because
of Glenwood's activity. We will
recall the language of Mayor
Schwartz, which was that to
defeat Grand Junction was halt
victory."-Grand Junction Sen
tinel.
To begin with perhaps quota
ton will furnish a good text.
"In Unity there is Strength" !"
When the Gunnison tunnel bill
was hanging in the balance our
old friend Mead Hammond was
approached by an eastern slope
member and advised that the
western slope was asking for too
much. He said that we could
have either the Gunnison normal
or the Tunnel, but both we could
not have. There was an anxious
conference between the writer and
the representative from Delta
county andit was decided
that the request to kill either
was made in bad faith by the
opponents of both bills and
that we should succeed better
by tying the measures together
and going to defeat or victory
together. The policy prevailed
and the only two measures of i'm.
portance TO the western slope
obtained in many years were
carried triumphantly.
We believe that had we per
mitted either 10 be killed in the
interest OF the other we should
have lost both2 1t is ample tine
that the western slope as section
should demand recognition.
Every western slope representa-
tive should stand as stone wall

more conducive for the cure of the
mentally inhrm than the present
location. 1t would be far cheaper
to transport convicts from the
western slope to the Junction
than to send them across the
range.
We want to comment on the
Sentiners criticism of Senator
Taylor. We regret that he also
felt called upon to fight to the
last ditch against the Gunnison
Normal, but we never held it
against him. So long as we are
all at cross purposes we must
knife one another. 1t was half
victory to kill the Grand June
ton bill. The NEWSPAPER wants
to see a condition when the de-
feat of a bill in which Grand
Junction is the beneficiary will be
distinct loss to every county on
the slope and there will be no
reason for opposing the requests
of our sister counties.
1t is with the belief that this
course is not only right but teas
ible that we write this article. We
hope our brethren of the press
will take the matter up and con-
slider it. "ln multitude of
counscls there is safety" Let US
hear from all the boys and see if
we cannot agree to support one
another.

but without success. Then they
went before Governor Peabody
and induced the executive to veto
it.
In the present session the Gun
nison representatives went before
the legislature asking an appro-
priation of $4,000 for the school.
Close upon its heels came Delta,
Grand Junction and Glenwood
Springs. Be it said to the credit
of Montrose that she remained
neutral, or friendly to Gunnison.
Grand Junction proved stronger
than the others and did pass the
bill in the house, but 1t appears to
have run afoul of Senator Sapp
from Gunnison in the upper house.
If Grand Junction has failed, it
is good enough for her. We do
not say this in spirit of criticising
or discounting her posi- ion as a
great. growing and progressive
town. She is all these, but had no
moral right to butt in upon some
others territory. She should have
magnanimously said to the repr e.
sentatives from other western
slope counties, we'll all go in and
accede to Gunnison's just de-
mands. Then we'll unite upon a
branch of the state pen.tentiary
at Grand Junction. a branch of
the insane asylum at Glenwood
Springs or state industrial school
for girls in place of either of these
If thought best, Montrose or
Delta could have gone in for the
latter. These two latter points,
however. should be willing to aid
the others on such a basis and
not ask for anything until their
neighbors were supplied, They
have the Gunnison tunnel, which
cost the state $25 900 to start and
we are pretty well satisfied with
the benefits to accrue from that
stupendous undertaking.
In this way only can the wes-
tern slope receive its share OF
recognition and when our people
and politicians come to recog-
nize it then the rest of the state
will take notice that we must be
recognized. The newspapers OF
this section are in position to
promote and cement this feeling
thru them only will it be done
and are they ready to undertake
it. The tone ofthe Grand juno
ton News indicates that it is viii.
ling, after being taught such a
forcible lesson.
There is a determination on
the part of certain element to
down all such measures" con-
cludes the News. True. And
where is that element located
principally. Well tell you. 1t
is the triangle up in northern Col
orado known as Greeley. Boulder
1
and Ft. Collins. Each has a great
state educational institution OF
which we are all proud, and each
guards it as jealously as mother
does her infant. They have
grown to such proportions that
each is in a measure envious of
the other. But let one be attacked
from the outside or let some other
section ask for another normal
school or university, then
is when you will be con-
vinced of the power of unity.
They will fight until black in the
face against what they call en-
