"ROT" BREAKS INTO PRINT

people which claims to hold communi-
cation with the spirit of departed
friend, and with no intention of enter
ing into the merits or demerits of such
claims or of the right of man to hold
such communication, should such com,
munication be possible, we but call the
attention of our readers to how easily
ROT breaks into print in some al
legged newspapers.
A few days ago Glenwood was the
scene of a bold and daring bank rob-
berry Today the world knows of the
affair and of the escape of the two
men who pulled off the deal. That the
bank is robbed we all agree, and that
the robbers escaped we all know, but
none of us know where they are now
in hiding, if in hiding they are. We
have our ideas as every other man has.
But even our ideas are based on what
we believe we would do were we the
robbers
But our neighbor up the street one
evening this week gave its space to
tell its readers that certain clair.
voyant had been under the mystic
spell and that while in that condition
the spirit of the departed Indian chief,
Saginaw, disclosed the hiding place of
the robbers and how they made their
escape. 1t is true, Saginaw told moth
ing of the real robbery. nor of the
nature of the hills through which thu
robb,! IS passed. This latter is strange,
for the "happy hunting grounds Of
the Indian of old was to him heaven
and was the only thing that he held
above the hunting grounds of the
earth. 1t does seem that Saginaw
would have described our hills. which
were so dear to him.
The first the learned Saginaw told
the persons present at the seance was
that the robbers escaped across tl,n
Roaring Fork river and captured {.
hand car and pulled up the hill to
llagermann tunnel. Without mention.
ing the hard work of running a hani
ear up to the top of the hills, we will
call attention to the fact that Sag
NAV. who is supposed to be "more
perfect than we.' made a mistake re.
garding the tunnel The tunnel is not
given that name on the Midland fold
erS and. of course. Saginaw would read
them before giving ont his statements.
1t was pretty story and some, per
haps, will swallow it. But for a news
paper to palm off such slush shows a
lack of that which is so necessary to
make man perfect on this earth, Blu.
Saginaw, who was in "Control of the
clairvoyant.' took the robbers through
several towns and at the same time
fails to tell of the robbers meetino
trains or of carrying the car aroun,1
through the hills to avoid passing
through the towns. They walked
through the tunnel on the divide. They
are now safe in Mexico and while one
of them is dressing the "wound he re-
eeived from bullet fred by member
of the posse that killed the horse,"
mortal man is ievoting every energy
to locate the robbers, believing them
still in the land of Uncle Samuel.
We do not blame a clairvoyant for
working her graft if she can secure
willing audiences. but we do believe
that an alleged newspaper should re.
frain from publishing the rot dished
out from such source.

WITH THE WEST standing shoulder
to shoulder in the fight for money
from the government to carry on the ir.
rigation schemes and with the eastern
congressman. who may oppose action
by congress. with nothing to stand up
on in the way of good reasons for their
opposition, there should be speedy
work in getting the authorization for
the ten million dollar bond issue that
President Taft says he will ask for at
the next session of the national law
makers, Every western congressman
will favor the bond issue. If he ;s
really and truly in sympathy with the
upbuilding of the west. The easter,
man may feel that the step should not
be taken but try as he will, he can
give no good reason for the attitude h.,
takes. Thus it would seem that wa Of
Colorado, and especially We of western
Colorado, have much cause for look;no
at the future with the firm belief that
congress will come to our rescue and
will say. eco ahead, boys, and build
the Grand valley high line canal"
