DESERVED ROAST HANDED
THE YELLOW BY CRITERION

The following is an editorial from
the Olathe Criterion, one of the best
weekly papers in western Colorado
and which maintains an independent
stand on political matters:
SUPREMELY FOOLISH.
1t really seems as though some peo-
pie actually go politically mad. Their
reason and sense of right and justice
becomes warped all out of shape, and
they give vent to most astounding ut
terances. The Grand Junction News
is n case in point.
Friday last it contained an inane
diatribe in which it bewailed the
election of democratic congressman
from this state, because, as 1t
claimed. they would work against an
appropriation for public building
in that city and cause work on the
High Line canal to be abandoned.
The childishness of the plea is evil
dent. 1t is folly to suppose that,
simply because man is not a re-
publican. he cannot be progressive
or public-spirited Western men. no
matter what their politics may be,
are always out for every good thing
that tends to advance the public in
terests. It's their nature. and the
mere belief in this or that political
faith does not completely change hu-
man nature.
If the News wants favors for Grand
Junction at the hands of the con-
gressmen-elect, it takes a peculiar
way to obtain them. Most men nat
urally resent disparagement, especial
ly when it is premature and unca1led
for. and even a democrat may be no
exception. The News would better
nots cry before the milk is spilled.
Time enough for that when events
give cause. The Criterion does not
doubt that the new congressman will
be fully as public-spirited as their
predecessors, and that they will place
the interests of the state before any
partisan political policy The men
elected are Coloradoans first of all
and no section of the state is likely
to suffer at their hands, even though
the measures presented are republi-
can. The calamity howl of the News
is at least trife premature.
