St. Paul, Mimi, Aug. 1S.-While
the program provides principally for
a discussion Of topics connected with
the making of newspapers the con-
vention Of the National Editorial as
sociation in this city will not be with
out its political significance.
Editors Of daily and weekly papers
in country towns and small cities
form a large percentage Of the men,
bership of the association, and few
men are in closer touch with politi-
cal conditions in their respective
states. There will be much compar-
ing of notes and discussion Of parties,
issues and candidates
The campaign managers of both
great parties realize this, and have
appointed representatives 20 attend
the convention and mingle with the
assembled scribes, with the expecta-

After the convention many of the
editors will go on a junket to Winni-
peg and other Manitoba towns, re-

IDAHO ASSESSOR MAY
BE PROSECUTED

The assessors and not the sheep
men are to blame for the shortage Of
sheep reported to the board Of equal

that steps will be taken by the board
OF equalization to see that assessors
of counties wherein decreases have
been reported, will be prosecuted for
noncompliance with oath Of office,
says the Boise Capital News:
The returns from the sheep coun-
ties, it is stated by one OF the men,
bers of the board, should show an
Increase over the number reported
last year. rather than "a decrease. as
the sheep market was very low last
fall and sheep sales in Idaho were
considerably smaller than they have
been for a number Of years, the
sheep men perferring to hold their
flocks for better market prices.
Secretary Of State Lansdon has re-
turned from Washington county
where he went to look up the sheep
problem and reports that he found
the conditions there about the same
as last year. Approximately $4,000
sheep not placed on the assessment

in the abstract from Washington this

Gated by the secretary Of state the
total number is brought up to 1885,

Of about 10000 head from the num-

death of Crown Prince Rudolph, in
1889, the right of succession passed
TO the emperor's brother the Arch
duke Charles Louis, who died in
1896.
His son, the Archduke Francis Fer

throne. He married. in 1900, the

this most generous monarch is held
by the people.
There is no more popular ruler in
the world, and he has won this pop
ularity by a uniform generosity and
kindness to his people ever since he
mounted the throne more than half

campaign was secured today from one

es will be made at central points and
nearly all of these will be made by
October first. During October Mr.
Bryan expects to remain home, and
assist in educational work of the
campaign through discussion of pub
lie quest ons in form of interviews
and signed articles and letters.
Mr.. Taft's letter of acceptance
was read with great interest and in
view of the structures upon Mr.. Bry-

answer. Mr.. Bryan today expressed
great satisfaction.

ROAD EQUIPMENTS
TO BE INSPECTED
Especial to The Sentinel)

Denver, July 29-Acting under the
authority conferred upon it in the
statute creating it, the Colorado rail-
road commission is preparing to make
a thorough investigation of the roll
ing stock, road bed, bridges and in
fact the complete transportation
equipment of every road in the state.
The inspection is made with a view
Of ordering the railroads to make re-
pairs and strengthen their equipment
whenever the board consi lers It
necessary.
During the past month, or rather
since the fishing season opened and
thousands of Colorado people have
been tramping the banks of streams
along which ran railroad tracks, tn 2
complaints of the railroad commits
sion against the poor road bed, poorer
ties, etc, have been more numerous
than ever before. The commission
has taken notice of these complaints
and will start a thorough investiga-
ton. All persons knowing of bad
pieces of track are asked to report
the same TO the commission and it
VIII be treated confidentially Next
month the commission will go out
and make a personal tour of every
road in the state with view of judg-
ing its equipment.
The law gives the commission the
power to do this and it will exercise
that power. The commission main
tains that in raising the standard of
the transportation equipment it is
also protecting the interest of the
people.

GARFIELD COMES

A telegram was received here this
afternoon by General Agent Luddy
from Assistant General Passenger
Agent F. A. Wadleigh of the Rio
Grande stating that Secretary of the
Interior j. r. Garfield and party
would arrive here tomorrow morn
ing at 500 and depart for Montrose
at $40, and also asking Mr.. Luddy
10 notify the Chamber Of Commerce
If this program is carried out no OPP
portunity would be given the Ciham-

leigh is with Mr.. Garfield in his pri-
vate car, Ballyclaire.
Secretary Garfield is at Provo to-
day and will complete the investiga-
ton of that project some time today,
and, in company with +. H. Newell,
will come directly to Grand Juaction
and, after investigating the High
Line project. will go TO Montrose.

posed project were yesterday with

tries will not be allowed, either, I'M
til the farm units have been estab
lished, as such entries make II diff
ficult for the government reclamation
I department to establish these units.
This means that entries will not like
ly be accepted until the year before
water is available, giving entrymen
an opportunity to construct their
laterals before growing season op-
ems. and probably Offering them an
opportunity to work a portion of their
time on the canal.
This withdrawal will also stop all
contests that have been or are about
to be instigated. Holding the entries
back until the use of the land may
be had is also favorable to the pre-
vention of speculation. much of which
has been done under other projects,
in the form of entrymen taking a full
quarter when they well knew that
they would have to relinqu!sh at
least half before they would be
served with water, and. after holding
for a year or two, sell their relin-

JAPAN WANTS PEACE
WAR LORD SAYS so
[By Associated Press ]

Toxic, July 29.-In an interview
with the Associated Press represent
ative today, General Viscount Terau-
chi, minister of war and acting min
lister of foreign affairs, expressed
himself as having the keenest de-
sire for the maintenance of peace and
the continuance of the friendliest of
relations between Japan and all other
powers.
The uscount said that the entire
japanese nation, himself included,
regarded ,the Americans as real
friends.
Viscount Terauchi tntfmated that
the future policy of Japan would not
tend toward military expansion, but
on the contrary would see the entire
energy of the country devoted to a
productive instead of an unproduct-
i've expenditure.
"In the case of Japan" he said,
'Sscarcely three years have passssid
since we emerged from the most san
culinary struggle that history ever
recorded. All the horrors of war are
still in the memory of our people,
and it is only natural that the gov
ernment should give it's undivided at
tention to a readjustment of the ma
tional finances and an Improvement
of economic conditions, with the
maintenance of peace manifestly OF
the most vital importance to Japan,

New Linotype Machine Making Battery Of

Last night there was received at
the Office of The Sentinel, to become
part of its equipment, one of the fin
est typesetting machines now manu-
factured by the Meygenthaler Limo
type Company. The new machine
Will give this office a battery of two
machines, making its equipment lar
ger and more complete than any Of
flee between Pueblo and Salt Lake
City.
The machine is known as a No. 8,
with. many added attachments. Its
cost, with the extra attachments was
$505 more than the cost of the reg
ular machine. or $3.655. 1t has an
equipment of two magazines that are
attachable or detachable in an fn-
stant. 1t is equipped with two uni
versal molds, instead of one, so that
by simply touching a spring, the ma
chine may be made to set anything
in width from the standard 13 ems
up to- 80 ems.
The machine throughout contains
the latest patents of the Mergenthal-
er company, making it one of the
most perfect of its kind ever shipped
into the state,
For the past year, in order to set
the matter necessary for the regular
edition of the paper, a night shift
was necessary. The machine was
operated sixteen hours a day. With
the new machine there will be no
night work whatever. The work will
all be performed in the day time
and the capacity of the two machines
will render it possible to set up al
most any amount of matter required

style of hand composition. TIE av-
erage of a competent operator is
about 10000 ems a day. With two
machines this will be doubled. or so, :
900 ems of matter. To set up that
amount of type by hand would re-
quire ten men, the average amount
by hand composition day in and day
out being about 5000 ems of type.
BY the aid of extra magazines and
type faces on the matrices, much of
the advertising composition may be
done on the machines.
The Sentinel was the first newsYa-
per in western Colorado to install a
machine to set type. 1t was the Sim
plex, known as the one-hand ma
chine. This machine set type. in
stead of moldng it. 1t, however.
was not satisfactory, and in the
course of a year or slightly more,
this machine was abandoned, though
1t was at a considerable loss, as the
machine cost $3.50 and nothing was
obtained for it.
A Mergenthaler machine was then
purchased, and now a second one,
giving The Sentinel the largest equip
ment of any paper in western Colo
RADIO and as large as is owned by the
Herald-Democrat of Leadville.
There has never been a time when
The Sentinel has not kept up with
the march of improvement in this
