HE TAKES EXCEPTION
TO SENTINEL EDITORIAL
Well Known Local Socialist Believes
Haywood is as Capable and
Worthy Man as Eugene v.
Debs-What He Says.

The Daily Sentinel is in receipt OF
the following communication from
one of the best known socialists oi
Grand Junction:
Grand Junction. May II, 1908
EDITOR Scntinel: >.
'In yesterday evenings Sentinel
you published an editorial. in which
you state that it is to the credit oi
the socialists that they did not nom
mate w. ID. Haywood for president
Then you proceed to tell your read
ers the difference between Haywood
and Debs, branding Haywood as a
labor agitator, but man of superior
brains. Now If Debs is such a brainy
man as you think he is why did he
suggest Haywood for the nomination
of president on the socialist ticket
1t was through his ability as a labor
agitator that Debs came to be "a
champion of the working class. Very
little was ever heard of him till the
A. r. u. strike in 1894 at which time
he was given a Jail sentence of six
months and 1t was while serving those
six months that he came to be a
socialist. But on the other hand
Haywood did not have to be thrown
in jail to learn to be socialist.
You state that Haywood has a
selfish interest only in the working
men and only works with his mouth
Now just for your information | will
state that Haywood has worked in
the mines almost constantly since he
was nine years old and did not quit
that work until he was given the po-
sition of secretary of the w. F. of NJ.
who had the good sense to see that
he had more brains Llan the avera ge
man. And, when his life was in dan
ger in Idaho those people who elected
him as their secretary came to his
rescue. whereas If they had deserted
him as you seem to think we should
he would not be in his grave.
'You seem to lament the fact that
Debs did not allay himself with some
other party than the socialists. so
that he could have reached some high
position, but YOU overlook the fact
that it was not position he was look
ing for, but the betteiing of condi-
tions of all mankind, and in so doing
he has reached the highest position
he or any other man can get in the
hearts of working men.
You say that too much is known
of Haywood in the West to fool men
and voters | believe that we have
as intelligent people IN Mesa county,
as can be found any where in the
West, and yet Haywood ran 200
votes ahead of the ticket two years
ago. When you attempt to belittle
Haywood and praise Debs. just re-
member that they both got their first
great notoriety by being thrown into
Jail for trying to help the working
men. That they both are teaching
the same doctrines. and that Debs
will receive the same votes that Hay
wood would have received had he ac-
cepted the nomination instead of re-
the convention.
Yours truly,
'.W. w. GOODMAN"

MESA COUNTY MAN
VISITED OLD SCENES
William Mcdowell, the Well Known
Ranchman, Goes Back to Meeker
After 20 Years Absence
Was in Indian Battles.

The following will be of in
terest especially to the many
Grand Junction friends of Will

ing citizcrts of the DeBeque Sec
ton of the county. 1t Is from
the Meeker Review:
William Mcdowell of DeBeque, an
early day settler of this valley, was
in town this week after an absence of
twenty years-having left here the
year after the Ute war.
Mr. Mcdowell has been in the
Grand valley for many years. where
he has been a successful fruit grower
and prominently identified with the
development of the oil and other re-
sources.
At the time of the late unpleasant
ness Bill was among the central and
prominent figures: his partners were
Lem c. Hammond, John C. Calhoun
and Major Boutwell,; the latter was
in the commissary department, and
issued meal tickets for the sheriff's
mess.
Mr.. Mcdowell was in the battle at
Rangely; he saw the eight horsemen
ride into the pocket, where seven
were killed and wounded (two killed
and five wounded) and the eight

Bill was corporal of the guard that
was detailed to guard the 500 cap

exhausted little force was assaulted
by the allied forces of settlers, Wis
itors, tourists, war correspondents,
volunteers and horsethieves. but he
succeeded in saving 6S of them,
which he turned over to Gen. George
Crook of the United States army,
which undoubtedly averted a war be-
tween the United States and Colo

G. Brown, vice president of the

replied to the protests of more
than 80 commercial bodies of the
West, against the increase.
He was backed up by Irving T.
Bush, president of the Merchants
his organization had been convinced
that the only path that led from ruin
for the railroad was the increase of
rates.
On the other hand, the Western
shippers, backed by telegraphic pro-
tests from more than 100 cities, as
strongly asserted that the increase.
in the teeth of the present business
depression, meant an acute additional
burden on the business interests of
the country, and as surely spelled
ruin for them.
The meeting of the representatives
of the commercial bodies was held in
the Auditorium Annex, and Fred
erick w. Upham, president of the
Illinois Manufacturers association
presided.
Injunction suits were threatened
to block the proposed increase.
The shippers contended that the
increase in rates would impose addi-
tional burdens upon the shippers and
consumers amounting to approx
mately 800, 100000, and a commit
tee of 8 business men, headed by
W. Il. Conkey, reported these resolu-
tions, which were passed:

WASHING DOGS IN GERMANY.

The necessity of cleanliness for
dogs and the evils that may result
from neglect in this direction are
being impressed on the general pub
lie in Germany by the medical
authorities with increasing emphasis
daily.
1t is pointed out that dogs often
suffer from skin diseases which are
dangerous, as they are easily trans
mitted to human beings. Consequent
ly, they should be frequently bathed
by experienced and trustworthy per-
sons, so that their skins may be kept
free from injurious germs.
Steps to facilitate the proper bath
ing of dogs have been undertaken in
various establishments for dogs
opened. An institution of this kind
was opened in Dresden recently, and
already enjoys large patronage.
In some of the baths special atten-
ton has been paid to the objection of
many dogs to being placed by force
in a bath, and tanks sunk in the
floor are provided into which the dog
slides or can be pushed. After their
baths the dogs are most carefully
rubbed down and then thoroughly
combed and brushed, so that they
are perfectly dry before leaving the
establishment. - Our Four-footed

Force and the Law.

Some of the West Indian islanders
have learned that when a foreigner
misbehaves on their shores it is bet
ter to suffer in silence than to mete
out punishment at the risk of a de-
scending gunboat from the miscre-
ants native land. A Judge in Haiti,
however, recently took occasion to
pay off OLE scores and to redeem his
self-respect in the case of an offend
er brought before him.
To his first question, as to the ma
tionality of the accused, the interpre-
ter had answered that the prisoner
was from Switzerland.

"and Switzerland has no seacoast, has
it,"
mo seacoast, your honor" replied
the interpreter.
"And no navy?" continued the
Judge.
"And no navy, your honor" was
the reply.
"Very well, then" said the judge.

THE BETTER PICTURE.

Whenever Uncle Jack came to see
Jack junior, his namesake, he always
brought him something, says the
Youths Companion. This time he
delighted Jack more than ever before,
for he brought him small kodak.
Although Jack was only little fell
low, he soon learned to use it very
well, and he felt very proud indeed.
"Now," said Uncle Jack, when he
said "good-bye," 'give and get as
much pleasure as you can out of my
little present until 1 come again"
Uncle Jack always said something
like this, and it was help to Jack
to remember it when he did not feel
like lending his things.
One day his brother sent Jack on
an errand. He carried his kodak with
him, for he thought he might get a
picture. Presently he passed small
house. There were three children in
the yard. They were sitting huddled
up by the fence, and the two little
boys were crying. The little girl,
who was older, looked as if she
wanted to cry, too. When Jack saw
them, he thought it would be fun to
take picture and call it "The Cry
Babies" He decided he would do
this-it would be such a funny pic
ture to show the boys. Just then he
thought of Uncle Jack. 1t was not
very kind to make fun of those little
boys, and it would not be giving any
pleasure to take a picture Of them
when they were so distressed. He
opened the gate and went in.
What is the natter" he said.
The little boys did not answer, but
presently the little girl said: ave
are SO lonely without mother; she has
gone away because father is sick, and
she had to go to him, and we miss
her, and a neighbor is taking care
of u.s." And here the tears came to
her eyes.
Don't cry" said Jack. Then a
happy thought came to him. "I'll tell
you," he said. I'm going on an
errand for mamma, and when 1 come
back I'll take picture of you and
you can send it to your mamma. 1t
Will surprise her..
The children were delighted. "Can
you really?" they said. I'VE will get
ready"
Jack hurried back. The children
were waiting for him, and had put on
their best clothes. The little girl
stood between her brothers. Jack
took two pictures.
When they are finished l will
bring them to you and you can send
them to your mamma" said Jack.
The children were now smiling
happily. Jack felt happy also. He
was so glad he had not taken "The
Cry Babies"

Money From Frogs.

Several young men of Clyde have
been engaged during the past week in
catching and shipping frogs to the
city market. The frogs are raked up
from the bottom Of the canal, where
they lay in the mud in torpid state.
The business pays those engaged in
it from SIS to 50 per day. From sixty
to $50 pounds Of frogs legs can be
secured daily, which can be readily
sold for fifteen cents pound.
One man in Clyde has been out driv-
ing about the country the past two
weeks catching frogs in the ponds
and bitches, and has realized from So
to Sc day for his services after pay

A TRUE INCIDENT.

A neighbor whose farm adjoins
ours, writes a correspondent of the
New England Homestead, owns a
very large shepherd dog, noted
throughout the neighborhood for his
anything but friendly greeting of
strangers and his entire devotion to
his masters horses He spends near
ly all his time with them in stalSe
and pasture.
One day this fall one of the teams
had been turned out for exercise in
a small field, close to the roadway
from our fields to the barn. Just
beyond the road lay bundle of corn
stalks which had fallen from one of
the loads brought up the day before.
The horses saw it and wanted it, as
was evidenced by their longing
glances and the stretching of their
heads over the fence in a vain en-
deavor to reach it.
Prince, who had gone down to the
field to see his friends, stood watch
ing them closely. Presently he
trotted off down the field to where
one of the fence boards had become
loose and dropped down at one end.

o o Rdventure.
STRONGER THAN THEY THOUGHT


On arriving at Barbados, with two
small tugboats which had safely made
their way from Philadelphia, Mr..
Robert H. Hepburn found people
greatly surprised that such small
boats could make such a voyage. In
his journal, quoted by Mr.. Neville B.
Craig in "Recollections of an Ill-Fated
Expedition" he says: I'VE treated
the matter coolly, but would willingly
have transferred the privilege of
reckless adventure to some one else
for the remainder of the trip. 1t was
just about one year since Captain
Symmes had left Barbados for Para
with some such craft as ours, and was
never heard from afterward.
while breakfasting at the hotel" "
continues Mr.. Hepburn's record, the
proprietor came into the room fol-
lowed by what at first appeared to be
startling apparition-a tall, gaunt,
death-hued semblance of a man.
"On being introduced, he took me
to window and pointed to a large
full-rigged ship lying in the offing,
and stated that it was his vessel, that
yellow fever had broken out on board,
that several of the crew had been
, buried at sea, that he himself was
only convalescing, that there was a
fair wind outside, but head wind in
the bay, and he had been unable to
get out for some days past.
Il anticipated him by saying, You
wish to be towed out
He promptly answered, Yes and
asked what it would cost.
"I said, You are an American, and
So am /. You are in distress. Have
your hawser ready at o'clock this
afternoon, and you will be taken out
and put upon your course. There will
be no charge
"Tears filled the poor fellows eyes.
"An English ensign who was pres
ent, remarked, DO you intend to try
10 take loaded vessel of that tom
mage out of this port against wind
and tide with one of those little
boats?'
Il replied, We are not going to try,
we are going to do it.

will give you send-off from our

"At the appointed time the wharf
was crowded with excited people of
all classes, and even on the ships in
the harbor an unusual stir was an
parent. The Juno steamed over, made
fast to the hawser, and, everything
being ready, started down the bay at
a speed that astonished the onlookers
The Brazil-the other tug-weighed
anchor and followed, amidst roars of
applause from harbor and shore
LAS we passed the English man-of-
war, the decks and rigging were
crowded with officers and men, and
we were greeted with hearty cheers,
shouts for good luck and success, and
a salute with their flag.
After rounding the point, the
Juno dropped the ships hawser, and
at o'clock, accompanied by the
Brazil, proceeded on the voyage to

There was no one, outside of the
American vessel and our boats, that
believed we could move the ship one
