TAFT IS EMPHATIC
is AGAINST SUFFRAGE AT
NATIONAL CAPITAL.
In Recent Speech Declared that He
was Against Any change.-Business
Men Were Surprised to Hear Him
State His Attitude so Strongly
Says It Is All Right Now.

Declaring emphatically against suf-
frage for the residents of the District
of Columbia and opposing any radical
change in the relation between the ma
tional government and that of the ma
tional capital, President Taft recently
set hall full of Washington business
men aghast. The president gave full
expression of his views and declared
that he twas thinking out loud, but
was certain of his groundwork.
The talk of the president came as
a surprise to the listeners. A banquet
had been arranged by the Washing
ton board of trade, which is advocat.
ing change in the government of the
city. Justice w. P. Stafford of the
supreme court of the district had de.
livered an eloquent address, in which
he pictured the people of the district
as "slaves without voice in the af
fairs of their city,"
He advocated one senator and two
members of the house to. be elected
by the people of the district and de
clared this banquet should be the start
ing point of great agitation for al
amendment to the constitution for this
end. When he had finished, the ban
quetters arose and cheered his senti
ments and all looked to Taft.
Nationalist, Says Taft.
The president made short work o.
expounding his views. He declared
that he had lived here longer thar
Justice Stafford and took a persona
pride in the city of Washington. And
as he looked at the rotund form
around the banquet tables, he said h,
was impressed with the prosperity o,
the "sfaves'' who lived in this nationa
capital.
"With respect to Washington, sait
the president, 81 IN nationalist. Thi
city is the home of the government o
nation and those men who outlinet
its plan of government knew what the,
were doing. The home of the govern
ment of so,OOO,ooo people should b
governed by the representatives o
those sO,OOO,OOO people. The peopl
who come here to live come here wit
their eyes open as to the character o
the government of the city and the
must trust to the representatives o
sO,OO0,OO0 people, selected under tina
constitution. If this or subsequen
meetings are to be devoted to dir
turbing conditions and abohshing tn
form of government, you'll not &c
anywhere in the matter of a bette
! government in Washington.
George Washington intended thi
to be federal city. And it tingle
down to the feet of every man frol
New Mexico, Los Angeles or seattl
who walks the streets of this city
This is my city; own a portion c

Opposed to Suffrage.

IN opposed to the suffrage in this
district. 1 am opposed to it not be-
cause yield to any. one in the prin-
ciples of self-government, but this dis
trict was taken out Of the application
of the principles of self-government
by the very constitution that governs
the rest of the nation, because it was
intended all the people should control
the city. I've got over being fright
ened by being told that I'm getting
away from the principles of the fathers
These principles are best maintained
by those who maintain them with rea
son. !"
Mr.. Taft declared that the present
government of Washington is good ant
is the envy of nearly every other city
in the country. Washington knew wher
he founded the city that it would grow
because it had the foundations for ;
magnificent city.

Under the maligning attacks
of political enemies, Theodore
Roosevelt may and should regret
that he did not accept what the
people of the United States
sought to force upon him last
fall another term as President.
He had held but one elective
term and the three term charge
could have been no more than
t technical. -Four more years
would have given time to accom-
plish much that was only just
begun or under way, one of the
important being the completion
of the Panama canal, which his
political enemies are now max
ing such a howl about.
In face of the fact that Mr..
Roosevelt could have had the
nomination for another term;
that it was sought to be forced
upon him; that he was in the
zenith of his popularity and
could have been elected by a
larger majority than ever, he
steadfastly refused the excep-
tional honor, choosing rather to
become a private citizen than to
be looked upon as a political
pork.
Now, when his term of office
and power are about to end, the
political small dogs who had felt
it wise to keep at a safe distance
from the mastiff's kennel, jump
out and bark and howl and SNAP
and snarl to their hearts content
Roosevelt, according to them,
is a CRATER and a thief. We
don't believe it! Do you?

The government is now busy
trying to get back lands conveyed
to the Pacific railroads in earlier
days by the millions of acres. In
those days land was very plenti-
full and Congressman and Sena-
tors were not watched so closely
as now, so, to get great line of
railway through the west large
subsidies of the public domain
were granted. Just how far the
government can go in abrogat-
ing contracts will have to be
proven. In the cases of more
recent fraud, it will not be so
difficult to appeal to the con-
sciences of those who committed
them, by threats.

Since the United States began
work on the Panama Canal in
May, 1904, the excavation has
been $4,000 900 cubic yards. of
which $1,000, 900 is credited to
the year 1908. The excavation
part of the work can now be
closely estimated.
Yuan Sci Kai is in a much

three or four bills for different
amounts asked to be appropri-
ated, have already been pre-
pared, and it is claimed that if
these are successful a procession
of others. will follow. The pub
lie has not yet lost sight of what
it cost Colorado to overcome
these troubles, and, while there
may be just claims, it seems a
little odd that the effort to have
them adjusted should be left on
ly until Democratic legislature
was at hand to consider them.
They may form not only a deli
cate but a crucial and critical
subject for the present legisla-
ture to pass upon, for they must
be treated, to some extent, in
accordance with their political
bearing.

GOOD IN OUR TARIFF.

The Tariff is not an evil. 1t is
about the best way ever devised
to pay taxes. Would that we
could pay our city, county and
State taxes the same way. One
hardship of tax paying is that a
man has to plank down" a
great lot of real money at one
time.
We pay our national taxes in
broken doses and we pay them
more cheerfully. Furthermore,
everybody who buys food or
clothes, or tools, or furniture, or
anything else helps pay the ma
tional taxes. Thousands of peo-
Pile pay no city, county or State
tax. The Tariff gets lick at
everybody.
The government method OF
collecting taxes is the best way
ever devised. Nobody wants to
pay their national taxes in cash,
even though they would be less.
We need never hope for any less
taxes. Birmingham (Ala.

The effort being made for the
erection of a bronze statue to
the memory of Meade Hammond,
is of particular interest to this
locality. Its merits to our peo-
pie are at least three-fold. First,
a deserving tribute to the man;
it's bearing upon the great terri
tory owing its present progress
and near completion to his early
work-the possibility of the Gun
nison tunnel; the proposed loca-
ton of the monument, at point
dividing Delta and Montrose
counties.
1t seems good in a matter OF
this kind that a grateful people
can and have united to carry Out
so laudable an enterprise, with
out bias of any sort whatever.

of the state. Mans good deeds

Der,tser Markets.

DENVER UNION STOCK YARDS.
January 25-The week just ended
was an exceptionally good one
from the standpoint of the live
stock shipper to this market.
Prices held up we'll on the open
market all week despite the de-
clines at eastern points, and show
stock sold at prices away beyond
the expectations of the owners.
The fat show steers brought
prices ranging from $3.50 to
$500, the latter taking the grand
champion carload while single
steers sold up to $11.50 and the
grand champion steer of the
show brought $1,000 per cwt.
The grand champion feeder
steers sold at $6.85, the second
prize feeders brought $500, and
the reserve champions brought
Sc. 35 while most of the feeders
put through the ring brought
$500 to $500, and feeders on
the market also sold high. Fat
cows and heifers sold from 50. 90
to $50 A large number of east
ern buyers were here and that
they wanted the cattle was evil
denced by the way they grabbed
them us as rapidly as they were
put under the hammer. Today's
receipts were light and prices
firm.
The hog market was fairly
active and prices held up well,
bulk now quotable at $50 to
Sc. 25. The grand champion car
load of hogs of the show brought
81. so, and other show hogs sold
at Sc. 40 to S6.85.
Sheep trade was very good and
prices held about steady. though
lower east. Good fat lambs sold
up to 81. so freight paid and ewes
brought $3.50 fiat. The prize
lambs of the show sold at $1,000
and the third prize lambs brought
SO. so, the second prize winners
being sent back to the country.
The demand for all good sheep
and lambs is especially strong.

When there are such boundless
resources as Delta county pos
sesses, their development is no
small matter. 1t brings into
play the admiral enterprise of
such a splendid class of people
as the county possesses, and, as
people of a kind are inclined to
flock together. the number of
good people, full of ambition and
public spirit, is constantly being
augmented. This not only in
sures the development of our
great resources, but indicates its
accomplishment in the shortest
