THE UNION MEETINGS,

Certainly, if difficulties are any in
dlcatlon OF the exceIlency or success
OF an enterprise, the union meetings
begun last Sunday, will succeed and
is one of the most laudible affairs ey-
Ner undertaken. Everything seems to
have been against it. The tent dis
appointngly small to begin with and
full OF holes and in bad shape to boot
providence seems to have smiled on
Us IN shutting off the rain for sea-
son. The evangelist did not reach rs
IN time and so we were thrown upon
our own resources and the local
preachers had to play evangelists,
Bro Carruth acted the part of singer
to a finish.
Just at this juncture we are all eve.

With the full expectation of having to
flee from our ragged tabernacle at
any Lhoiueut, while our ears are listen
ing with most intense interest to every
word that we may hear (by post or
wire) from our evangelist.
Don't be discouraged friend, for we
. are going to have great meeting vet
There already is a deep interest mani
tested. We are expecting the singer,
Mr.. Robinson, at any moment. and
the evangelist is to be here Wednes-
day, the 9th. So come right along
and If we get wet, we will all get wet
together. trust, however, whether
we get wet under our tent or not, wcI
will all find salvation.

and orchard products is winning
the approval of thousands who

The people to bring into this

Roosevelt Strikes Back.
President s Message.

Il do not for moment be-
lieve that the actions of this ad-
ministration have brought on
business distress; so far as this
is due to local and not world
wide causes, and to the actions
of any particular individuals, it
is due to the speculative folly and
fragrant dishonesty of a few men
of great wealth, who seek to
shield themselves from the eff
fects of their own wrong-doing
by ascribing its results to the
actions of those who have sought
to put stop to the wrong-doing.
But if it were true that to cut
rottenness from the body polite
meant momentary check to an
unhealthy seeming prosperity
should not for one moment hesi.
tate to put the knife to the cor
ruption."

The assassination of King Car
los, of Portugal and the crown
prince, is another shock to ad-
vancing civilization. Is such
deeds had only occurred in Port
ugal our own nation wonld have
less martyrs to mourn. The fact
that assassinations of our Presi-
dents during times of peace have
all been by vipers of other race,
permitted to come and enjoy our
nations freedom, may be re-
lief to our pride, but it does not
restore to our country the lives
and usefulness of the great men
who have been thus cowardly
murdered. 1t should, though,
long ago, have resulted in more
rigid exclusion of the undesir-
able citizen class that have been
allowed to flock, all too plenti-
fully to this country.

The special message of Presi-
dent Roosevelt to Congress, en-
phasizing his demands that trusts
must be curbed and public frauds
punished, has created consterna-
ton on the one hand and wide
spread applause from the people.
1t takes more than a trumped up
panic to weaken man so strenu-
GUS and so well acquainted with
people, situations and conditions
as is Mr.. Roosevelt.

Delta is in popular favor. Any
place you go, when Delta or
Delta county are mentioned, peo-
pie begin to sit up and take
notice. Just as great mining
centers have attracted attention
by the proof of marvellous min
eral possessions, so Delta has be-
come known far and wide as the
location of the richest soil, the
finest climate and the most won
derful crops. Here the world is
beginning to see the future
greatest orchard section of the
world. Here, too, the farmer
and gardner have found land
which yields in annual products
more than the value per acre of
even the most productive lands
which in earlier years held fame
in other states. AS these facts
become better known it is not
strange that, when Delta is men
toned, ears are at once open to
drink in whatever new informa-
ton may be had.

The monument erected at the
Capitol grounds in Denver to the
memory of the soldiers who fell
in the civil war, is not, in it's
present state an imposing affair,
yet, in its brass rail enclosure
and conspicuous position it is at
least pretty tribute to Colora-
dos heroes of that great war.
The battles in which Colorado's
sons fell were: Valverde, Canon,
Apache. Pigeons Roost, Peralto,
New Mexico, Sabin Creek, Elk
Creek, Honey Springs, Fremont's

Delta is very much a county of
churches and schools. The NOR
al and educational environments
are not perhaps excelled in any
section OF the Union. And this
is well. With all the blessings
of soil and crops, fruits, flowers,
grains and grasses, the home
seeker who has a family wants
just such social conditions as
Delta county possesses, and when
he finds the combination COM
plete, there is no need of looking
further.

The romance of progress is
often more wonderful than

coupled with facts relating to the
growth of cities. insignificant
villages have become wonderful
population centers, sometimes
within a few years. Advantages
of surroundings, industrial pos

will be written of Delta.
