The accident near Elm Beach on
Tuesday last, an account of which
is given in another column of
this issue, demonstrates the fact
that there should be a railing on
each side of the road leading
from both the east and west sides
of the bridge. The road is mar
row at that point, with a steep
embankment on the north. 1t
is bad place for team TO meet
an automobile and a good railing
should be built before some SER
ious accident occurs and lives are
lost.

THE new law allowing eighth
grade graduates of rural schools
the right to have their tuition
paid by the district to one of the
three nearest high schools does
not become operative in time to
have any tuition paid next year.
The law goes into effect Septem
Der 2. 1t provides that parents
or legal guardians of pupils who
have completed the eighth grade
in districts where no high schools
are maintained, may notify the
district board that such children
desire high school. This must
be done on or before the fourth
Monday in June. The attorney
general holds that inasmuch as
the law does not take effect un-
til the second day of September
no notice can be legally served
on school boards by parents or
guardians until June, 1910, and
that no tax can be raised this
year for the paying of such tut.

WHY DAYsEY PAINTED

Daysey Mayme Appleton was read
ing newspaper last night when sud
denly she gave a scream and fell to the
floor in dead faint. Now according
to the books and tradition Daysey
Mavme tainted because she read the
announcement of an old sweetheart s
marriage or death land it would turn
out afterward, according to the books
and tradition, that he was cousin OF
her old sweetheart by the same name'.
But real life is so unlike the books and
tradition. Upon being revived Daysey
Mayme related that she saw hosiery ad-
vertised for 81 cents that she had paid
30 cents for the day before.-Atchis"n

NEED OF CUTOFFS

Should the present troubles of the
Rio Grande and Colorado Midland rail-
roads continue for another two weeks,
we may hear of Grand Junction and
Rifle and other towns in Grand valley
starting a strong movement that in the
end may mean the building Of the cut
off from Dotsero to the Moffatt road
and from Somerset to Placita in the
other direction.
Fruit in the Grand valley is ripening
and will soon line the tracks of the
Midland and Rio Grande from one end
to the other and such delays as we have
experienced during the past few weeks
vii not be received with open hands by
the fruit men. 1t has been the claim Of
the friends of the cutoffs all along that
fruit could be moved with greater
speed from Grand Junction TO Denver
via the Dotsero cutoff than is at pres.
ent the ease on the regular Rio Grande
line or Midland road. And they arc
now making their argument felt in all
fruit sections. 1t is true, trains have
passed east through Glenwood when
none were coming from the east. but
they were stopped somewhere along the
line and delayed for hours before the
track was cleared. And some say the
Moffatt road is jast as liable to have
these troubles in the height of the
fruit season. Be that as it may, it al
least gives the fruit man one more
chance to get his fruit to market with

AUTOS IN KANSAS

The clamor of the settlers in soutn-
west Kansas for daily automobile mail
delivery instead of the scmi-weekly
stage coach service they now have sug-
gests strongly the possibilities of the
horseless vehicles on routes where it
does not pay to build railroads.
The auto goes faster than horse
can 60 even whore delays are frequent
The auto never gets tired until the
gasoline gives out. The chauffeur need
have none of the eompunetions which
the speeder of horses ought to feel.
1t may be presumed that good roads
are not costly to build in western Kan
sas or the demand for the automobile
mail cars would be in vain. And as
these vehicles cannot well go where
the roads are bad, it is altogether like
ly that they are to be the real pioneers
of good roads in all the well populated

ONLY ASK FOR FAIR PLAY

We want the people to remember
that in our attitude on the moral issue
we have not advocated local option or
prohibition, but have confined our fight
to demand for law enforcement. The
people of Glenwood have voted for sa.
looms and saloons we must have until
some other action is taken and we have
only asked that the saloons operate in
legal manner. Is this an unreasona-
BILE request? We think not. We have
never yet attacked the saloons because
they were saloons, but because they
were conducted in disgraceful and H.
legal manner.
Theoretically there is no reason why
Il man who runs a saloon should not
conduct |his business in as legal Il
manner as the man who sells groceries.
We say theoretically because we find
that in practice the man who sells whis-
key never seems to have sense enough
to sell it in accordance with his IL
cense which il his only excuse for sell
ing it at all.

largely upon the proper determination

1t may be true that neither side is
altogether satisfied with the compro-

ONE WEEK LATE

The dear little sheet up the street IS
still one week behind the Post with tue
news OF Gleuwood Last week we call
ed attention to a generous offer on the
part of Postmaster Thorson in which
he placed space in the postoffiee at th'
disposal Of the commercial clubs Of the
county On Wednesday evening of this
week, five days after our story was
read in every section Of the county,
the Avalanche came out with giaring
headlines and told the people something
they already knew. It is really anus
ing to watch the antics of the Ava
lanche, but to come out with a local
story five days after everybody in the
county has heard of it is rather slow
news gathering.
While we do not need TO take mp the
battles of the Grand Junction papers.
We feel that in justice to the Grand
junction News we should express our
sympathy that the Avalanche should
clip one of their stories on the For
Collins ball game and credit it to the
Rocky Mountain News. We should NOT
say word if the Avalanche were
printed in another town, but TO have a
Glenwood paper do such trick make.
Glenwood appear in a bad light,
Suppose the Avalanche will be run
ming story calling on the Board OF
Trade to accept Sam Thompson s off l
and put trout in the streams near Glen
wood. Would be just like them.
OF course, we do not accuse oui
neighbor OF watching the columns OF
this paper to get its next week s news
Another thing noticed by the readers
of the Denver papers is the fact that
each week finds the Avalanche clip
ping specials that have been sent from
Gleuwood to the Denver papers regard
ing local happenings in sportdom. Suel
q specimen of newsgathering appeared
Tuesday evening when summary Of
the work of the base ball team was

RIFLE GETS BUSY

While seated around the banquet
board the other night, few hundred
of the live business men of Rife and
the progressive farmers of the country
adjoining, started several movements
to the end that, if carried out Rifle viii
make her presence known and felt. It
is planned to build a building in which
public gatherings may be held Tn fact
Rifle is going to build an auditorium
similar to the one that Glenwood want
ed to build. Rife is going to advertise
her resources and agricultural lands
throughout the country and this means
that she will not only double the popu-
lation of the town, but she will have
several hundred more fruit raisers in
that vicinity.
They are also talking public parks,
race track and other things for the
amusement and comfort of their peo
PIE. And that is the sort of spirit that
is bound to win for the people of Rifle.

compromise agreement was decidedly IN

However, the matter is settled and
both sides should now pull together

THE GROWTH OF PROHIBITION

The prohibition movement, which has
set almost half of the country "dry, "
has received a new, strong impetus a.
the recent annual convention of the
Catholic Total Abstinence Union of
America, which ias decided to estab-
lish national headquarters at Chicago
to put the saloon out of business. The
Catholic church is not only the great
est organization in the world, but also
known never to stop when it has once
taken up an issue until it achieves its
aims. The influence of the church will
induce the thousands of its members,
who are now engaged in the liquor
traffic, to drop it.
Hand in hand with all churches which
have banded together to fight the Ii,
quor traffic, are all the influential maga-
zines, and their influence is great.
Here is what one of the magazines
says:
Prohibition does not prohibit, "

investors in stocks and bonds of the
breweries and distilleries are looking to
the future with the greatest misgivings
is not surprising. The opponents of the
liquor industry have the powerful press,
the churches and the women 3 organii
zations on their side, and the outcome
of their war on the saloon seems hardly
to be in doubt.-The Financial World.

ADVERTISING AND ADVERTISING

Now there is advertising and adver
Using. For instance the story of stacy
Bray's experience with Pat O'Neil's
spiked roulette wheel AS sent out from
Glenwood Springs was printed in sew
cral papers across the briny pond. If
Won don't believe it just ask Father
o O'Dwyer SO you see Glenwood is ad-
yertised after all But is that the kind
of advertising we want? You say no.
Mayor Drach says no. And yet that
is the kind of advertising we will get
present conditions. The mayor thinks
il will hurt the town to have it get
out that a bunch of mattresses got
drunk ON liquor which they purchased
and drank in three Glenwood saloons.
And vet it never seems to have occur
ed to our mayor that the real wrong
itself much more than in the telling
about it. The mayor Investigated this
lisgraceful soiree and yet it nowhere
appears that the police officer that per
mitted this disgraceful violation of the
ordinances and the state law was dis
missed from the service or even cali
ed up on the carpet. The fact is our
city authorities profess to be terribly
shocked and chagrinned to read of
sItrh nffairs INIT whom il comes down tn
their responsibility in preventing a re-
petition of the same-Oh well. that's Il
| different matter. If it is proper for

things why ism It it just as proper for

their occurrence, eh, Mr., Mayor? Yer

ing.
