BATTLE FOR FAIR FREIGHT RATES
IS To Be BEGUN IN REAL EARNEST
Subscriptions to be Secured to Engage Able
Counsel and Application to be Made
Before Commerce Commission

lomatically, peacably and in every
other way except beligerently and if
Grand Junction is ever to secure her
rights and equity, it is time that she
dropped the foolish disinclination to
offend the men who are robbing her
and enter into the fight determined
to force the railroads to permit Grand
Junction to grow into a city.
There is no longer any use in fill
ing up space in quoting rates. There
is not person in the city who does
mt know that shipments can be made
from New York TO Frisco cheaper
than they can be made from New
York to Grand junction and the
many other incongruities and dis
examinations are known, it is now
time to take action and the Chamber
Of Commerce is the proper body to
get behind the movement. If the
state commerce commission can not
or will not help the city it is time to
place them on record and take some
other action. Smooth and diplomatic
answers intended to pacify while the
extortions continue, will no longer
suffice and if the merchants of the
city come forward and support the
campaign the battle will not be re-
laxed until the shackles have been
taken off from the Western slope and
city of Grand Junction.
When the committee from the
Chamber of Commerce calls upon you
Monday remember that 1t will be
money in your pocket to subscribe all
that you can afford to give and Sec
retary Mahony promises that they
will strain every effort to win the
battle and secure justice for Grand
Junction and for western Colorado.

Monday of next week the first
effective shot in the battle to secure
Justice for the Western slope in the
matter of freight rates viii be tlred
when a committee from the Cham
ber of Commerce will interview the
citizens of the city to raise sub
scription to employ counsel to prose-
cute a case before the state com
merce commission alleging that DIS
elimination is being made fayoring
Salt Like City, Utah, at the expense
of western Colorado and Grand juno
tion in particular. Whether or not
this will avail the city any direct re-
sults is not known but ii VIII place
the commission on record and the
fight will not be dropped until the
battle is won.
Informally, the matter has been
laid before the commission ana they
returned answer to the effect that
tbev would not consider Grand juno
tion's case until it had been filed
with them formally. This will cost in
the neighborhood of $1,000, but 1t
will place them on record and snow

mission has power and is willing TO
do the right thing or If they are mere

statement that Grand Junction pears

HOUSE TO LEAVE Y.M.C.A., REPORTS
TO CONTRARY NOTWITHSTANDING
Senhnels Statement Conect---Denials Not
Supported by Facts---Dissatisfaction With
Secretary is General

w. A. House is at present in the
East looking for position, having
been notified that his resignation
would be accepted upon his return.
The Sentinel last evening made no
untrue statements and If the morning
paper was scooped in its own partic-
ular field it is the fault of their re-
pertorial staff and of their usual un-
steady and wavering sources of in
formation.
Mr., House will resign. The point
of official etiquette which permits
him to resign cuts no figure 1t Is a
polite manner of dismissal and Mr.
House will go.
As a public official, Mr.. House is
Just as open to criticism as any other
man holding an office in philan-
thropic institution of a public anture
II is true that he doubtless felt that
he was secure from criticism, en-
throned on seat among the clouds
but he is not the first transgressor
upon the rights and confidence of the
people who has been shown up in his
true light by The Sentinel.
This paper believes in man earn
ing his salary, and if there is an in
stitution in which this should be the
case, 1t is in a Y. NJ. C. A. where the
officials are supposed to feel heart
aad soul interest in the welfare and
advancement of their work and In the
subject to which they should devote
their efforts.
Nasty complaints have reached this
office in regard to the management
of the Y. NJ. c. A. but pursuant to
the policy of this paper, these have
been entirely ignored unless the per-
son making the same was willing to
stand on record and take the credit
for them. Not a statement was made
last evening which was untrue or
which did not reflect the business
character of the man involved
The Sentinel had no personal in
terest in publishing the article. When
the management of any public in
stitution, office or corporation be-
comes so rotten that the proverbial
to the state of conditions in
Denmark lacks force for the express
sion of the existing conditions. it is
time that teh light of publicity was
turned in that direction and The Sen
tinel with its usual thoroughness per-
formed the act last evening.
How successful it was can only be
estimated by the many compliments
and concentrations which have pour
ed into this office today.
The statements were verified and
ascertained to be absolutely authentic
before they were given publication.

KIN OF ARISTOCRACY
ESCAPES EVICTION

New York, Oct. S.-Allied by
blood and marriage to some of the
richest and best known families in
town, Mrs. Alexander Kirkland Tay-
lor, great granddaughter of De Witt
Clinton, once governor of New York
was saved from eviction this week
through the generosity ~ an un-
known Samaritan, said to be a bank
er, who sent her $50. With two del
icate daughters, the woman has been
living for several weeks in a fur
nished room in one of the shabby
side streets on the lower West side.
Before going there she had been oc-
cupying a windowless room in an
attic some blocks distant Unable to
pay the small rent charged her for
this scant lodging, she and her daugh-
ters we're forced to seek quarters
elsewhere. At the time she was suf-
fering from lack of nourishment. and
was in a pitiable condition physically.
SympathiZing with her in her dis
tress, some charitably inclined per-
sons furnished her with food, and
gave her money with which to pay
for the room of her new abode.
When the bankers check reached her
she had but 81 left, and was on the
verge of despair. Her rent for the
room was due, and there was only
the street facing her and her daugh-
ters. With the $50 sent her she pur-
poses opening a dressmaking estab-
lishment. Her unknown benefactor
promises to get her enough custom
ers to keep her busy and insure her
a comfortable competence. Through
marriage the unfortunate woman Is a

Mr.. j. II. Rankin, director of the

the present time in the East looking
for position and 1t is understood
that his resignation will be accepted
directly upon his return home. | do

ether sources"
The other person stated, MIR. w.

charged from the Y. NJ. C. A. ana Z
thought you would like the story so
| have called you up. There is moth
ing to hold back so you can make a
plain statement in regard to the
facts"
The books of the Y. NJ. C. A. will
prove that there is discrimination in.
the rental of the rooms. The records
VIII show that not half of the last
year enrolment has again paid up
or signified their intention of so do
ing. The statement that the secre-
tary took numerous vacations and
spent more time on his ranch than In
the office can be proven by interview
ing any truthful or unprejudiced
employe of the Y. NJ. c. A. or mem
Der of the association who is in
position to know.
Constant wholesale expulsions and
suspensions and the fact that scores
of regulations are broken every week
by members show that they have
been harassed by impossible rules
and regulations.
The fact that the association was
so mismanaged that roomers couldn't
sleep nights was admitted this morn
ing, The statement that there were
men there who did little more than
draw their pay is emphasized by the
TACT that at present two men are off
duty and 1t was thought unnecessary
to supply any one to take their places.
Secretary House has been away for n
week during which time Boys Secre-
tary Galloway has been sick.
The Sentinel has no apologies to
make whatever. The statement that
he has resigned will very shortly be
verified, without he now insists on
his retention, because 1t leaked out
that he was expected to tender his
resignation.

BOB CHAMBERS
CREDITORS ANXIOUS

New York, Oct. Sit begins to
look as II the creditors of Sheriff
Robert Chanler will have as much
trouble collecting their claims against
as his beautiful spouse, Line Cava-
lieri, the grand opera singer. Be
fore he married the diva a good deal
of his wooing and cooling was done in
his studio in this city, which she Wis
tied every afternoon for several
hours during the grand opera season.
In these happy days the walls of the
studio were draped with costly hang
ings At forced sale the furnishings
would realize only enough to satisfy
several of his smaller creditors.
Armed with an execution, several
deputy sheriffs have been hanging
around the studio for several days
hoping for chance to get in and
attach its contents. They were found
there Yesterday by the owner of the
building. who coolly informed them
that he owned everything in the
studio, and that not one cents worth
of its present equipment belonged to
the elusive artist whose busted ro-
nance has brought him so much no.
toriety of late. Unable to find any
of the tangible assets of Chanler. the
creditors are beginning to believe
they have poor chance of having
their debts liquidated AS for the
former sheriff himself, he is as hard
to find as his property. At his Red
Hook farm he<is as inaccessible as a
Yeudal prince. The action on which
the deputy sheriffs sought to seize
the furnishings of his studio was
brought against him by tailor. who
claims Chanler owes him 1897 for
clothes bought from him some years
ago.

national government properly
may, to relieve our people from
this dreadful burden.
There is apparent to the judi
cious observer distinct tendency
on the part of our opponents to
question of state as against
federal jurisdiction. We are
ready to meet that issue if it is
forced upon US. But there is no
hope for the plain people in such
conflicts of jurisdictions. The es-
spitting legal technicalities. 1t
is simply this: Who can best
regulate the special interests for
the public good?
The most effective weapon
against these great corporations,
most of which are financed and
owned on the Atlantic coast. will
be federal laws and the federal
executive. That is why 1 so
strongly oppose the demand to
turn these matters over to the
states.
One of the difficulties in put
ting into practice the conserva-
tion idea is that the field to
which it applies is constantly
has been no slight task to bring
before 90,00o.000 people a great
conception like that of conseYva-
tfon anj convince them that it is
right.
The idea, widely circulated of
late, that conservation means
locking up the natural resources
for the exclusive use of later
generations, is wholly mistaken.
Our. purpose is to make full use
of these resources, but to consid-
er our sons and daughters as
well as ourselves; just as a farm
er uses his farm in ways to pre-
serve its future usefulness. Con-
servation is the road to national
efficiency and it stands for ample
and wise development
In the beginning the special
interests, who are our chief op
paid little heed to the movement.
because they neither understood
it nor saw that if it won they
must lose. But with the progress
of conservation in the minds of
our people. the fight is getting
sharper. The nearer we ap
proach to victory the bitterer the
opposition that we must meet,
and the greater the need for eau
ton and watchfulness. Open op-
position we can overcome, but
warn you especially against
such as this, ostensibly as dis
interested citizens, but actually
as the paid agents Of the special
interests.
What this country needs is
what every free country must
set before it as the great goal
toward which it works-an equal
opportunity for life, liberty, and
the pursuit of happiness for
every one of its citizens. To
achieve this end we must put a
stop to the improper political
dominion. no less than to the i'm
proper economic dominion of the
great special interests. This
country, its natural resources,
it's natural advantages. it's op-
portunities and its institutions,
belong to all its citizens. They
can not be enjoyed fully and
freely under any government in
which the special interests as
such have a voice. The supreme
political task of our day, the in
dispensahle condition of national
efficiency and national welfare,
is to drive the special interests
out of our public life.
