Sometimes it has happened
that the editor of a newspaper
has to be absent for a week and
his lynx-gaze over the matter
which creeps into that issue is
lacking. Then it generally hap
pens that the more or less criti-
cal reader sees something which
does not please him, and the
wound lasts and lasts. What a
fool the fellow was who said:
"A newspaper can't please ev-
erybody!' 1t is it's plain duty
to please everybody, and if it
don't do it-regardless of how
well it may have pleased in many
instances-it must take the con-
sequences.

PREPARING FOR TARIFF REVISION

President Taft has called a special
session of congress to meet March Is
and. th3tigh he does not mention the
tariff in his proclamation and canno,
arrange a program for congress, II Is
known that tariff revision is the OBJ
iect Of the summons. He referred spe,
officially to the matter in his inaugural
address and said: ITO secure the need
ed speed in the passage of the tariff
bill II would seem wise to attempt no
other legislation at the extra session"
Moreover. while he was careful to add,
II venture this as a suggestion only"
the suggestion is in keeping with the
political developments of the last year
made for the session.
EARLY last summer these prepare
tions began with the work of experts
who were employed by the ways and
was authorized to sit during vacation
and engage help in securing informa-
tion on which to base q revision.
The experts went over the valuable
material relating to the subject that is
being constantly gathered by govern
ment bureaus and put this at the dis
posal OF the committee. After the
election Chairman Payne of the com
that body Nov 10, and from that time
on there were oral hearings at which
The representatives of many business
Interests gave their views. Further.
more, since the close of the hearings
the Republican members OF the commit
tee have held daily sessions at which
they have considered the evidence pre-
scented and received such assistance as
they desired from legal and scientific
experts In the employ OF the govern
ment
The plan now is to offer bill soor
after congress meets and to have this
bill taken up and debated. Obviousl,
with such elaborate preparations ther,
Is no reason to expect delays, ant
there is every reason why there shoult
I've. speed with the bill. This Is desira
Sic on account Of business considera
tions and because there is need o
notifications In the law to increas'
the revenues Of the government. Th'
president referred to the excess OF es
perditures over receipts. which will
amount TO 100000, 900 for the curren
fiscal .nSr. and added: at is impera
tive that such deficit shall not cor
tinue. and the trainers of the tarii
bill must, of course. have in mind tn

GRAND cANNows DEATH ROLL.

In human life." recently said Fred
erick S. Delenbaugh, the artist-schol
ar. who has painted pictures and writ
ten books about that wonderful river
that rushes for hundreds of miles
through gorges hundreds of feet deep
in the Providence Journal.
when | was with Maj. Powell on
his exploring expedition through the
Grand canon. forty years ago. we lost
several men. and the few other expe
ditions that have followed ours since
then all have had to pay the river its
price in the same way" he continued
"Powell's party was the first journey
white men ever made down that per
ilous portion of the Colorado river.
and almost every day of the many
months 1t took was full OF danger.
Every year some lives are lost there.
Two years ago skeleton of a man
was discovered in Marble canon, lying
on a.rocky shelf little above the
wblrling waters of the river. A news.
paper dated in 1900 was in the pock-
ct of his coat, so that It was likely
the man perished eight years ago at
least. Whether he was killed while
trying to scale the insurmountahle
walls. or whether he died of starva
tion, no one knows.
THAT part of the Colorado river
never gives up Its dead. Those who
fall into the waters clutches literally
are dashed to pieces and no trace of
them ever is found.
The Whirlpool rapids of the Mag
ara river below the falls are terrible
to contemplate, but It can be said
without exaggerntion that the Ningara

REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.

Elsewhere appears call for a Re
Publican convention to be held for
tiA purpose Of nominating ticket for
cMy officers. The Republicans have
It In their power TO make a record.
The Herald is firmly convinced the
voters. especially the taxpayers, are
almost q unit for improved city gov.
ernment, and II the Republicans rise
the occasion and nominate men OF
business standing. men of executive
ability. men who will labor for the
welfare OF the city instead of private
gain and party spoils, there should be
no question Of the result. Partisan
politics should not prevail as against
The best interests OF the city. and
should the Citizens movement result
in the selection Of the right kind of
men, the Republicans should be will
Ing to co-operate-meet the citizeus
hH}e way for the welfare of the city
and community at large. Political
questions are not involved in city
godslent- The great political Is.
cues are for county. state and nation
especially the two latter. National
policies are the ones that effect the
general welfare of the masses, and
there is no question In the mind OF
The Herald that the interests of the
people demand Republican supremacy,
because If Colorado is to be prosper.
Gus the nation at large must be pros.
porous. and prosperity lies through Re
publican Legislation. The present gen.
eral assembly now in session in Den
yer illustrates the non-constructive
policy OF the Democratic leaders. and
If the election were to be held tomor-
row the Republican state ticket would
be triumphantly elected the same as
1t would be in La Plata county. But
city government is purely local. State |
and national political policies have lit
tie to do in conducting local matters
pertaining to the welfare of a growing |
town. Therefore we trust the Repub. |
fSus will study the situation well and |
not place party ahead of the city's |

non-partisan men. Durango was never |
more in need of a change than It is
today. The organ Of Democracy has
many time stated that the present
control Is the worst In the history of
the city. although It is now endeavor
ing to bolster up the crowd In the
saddle.
The Herald wants honest, economi- |
cal. nt the same time progressive city
government, free from favoritism. The
interests Of the city as a whole should
be above the personal advancement OF
this or that Individual who is In 1t |
for what there is In sight. Let Re.
