Of
COUNTRY IN
PERIL
STRIKE IS SPREADING
tBy Associated Press. !

Paris, Oct. Encouraged by the
effectiveness of the strike of the en-
ployees on the Northern railroad and
Western railroad and an extension of
the movement throughout the East
ern road and the Paris, LYONS and
Mediterranean lines, the leaders of
the French workingmen general are
threatening a gigantic move to para
lyze business activities throughout
the whole country.
The situation throughout the re-
public is regarded as grave.
Inc railways are making a desper-
ate struggle to maintain service with
the aid of military engineers and
men from the navy; but are meeting
with little success.
The extension of the strike to the
East and South roads has practically
isoiatel TINS city, which is now being
threatened with famine.
The strike leaders declare that not
"heei VIII be turning on any rail-
way in the republic tomorrow morn
ing.
The Paris end of the strike on the
Western road is complete, and not
single train has come in or gone out
on that line since early this morning
The government is seriously con
cerned over the matter of food sun
ply. President Fallieres hurriedly
returned from his estate today and
conferred with the ministers.
The highways leading to this city
are in a frightful state of congestion.
Thousands of workmen are trudging
toward the city, converging as they
reach Che gates of the city.

HOUSE GOES TO
TERRE HAUTE

Reliable information was received
by The Sentinel today to the effect
that Secretary Will A. House will
sever his connections with the Grand
Junction Y. NJ. c. A. between this
date and November l, when he will
leave for Terre Haute, Indiana, to
accept position.
1t is not necessary to assert that
when you see it in The Sentinel it
is So" This paper is not in the habit
of going off half cooked" and al
though the first publication of the
news brought forth a wrathy and
hysterical announcement from other
local publications the story wealth
cred the storm and II was not neces-
sary to make any retractions what
ever.
The Sentinel could not have OBJ
tanned the standing in this city which
II holds and has held for years, If 1t
was not in the habit of publishing
the news first and of giving truthful
and "right-up-to-the-po accounts
of happenings in its field and when
this paper feels ,that it is warranted
in publishing story which will
throw light upon undesirable con-
ditions or which will be the means
of lettering anything which is for the
advancement of the city and the
city's interest il does not feel the
necessity of asking any ones permis-
sion to perform the act
Succeeding events are proving that
The Sentinel's statements were cor
rect in each and every instance and
this paper makes no retraction what
ever
The Y. NJ. C. A. is an Institution
for which the people of the Grand
valley have labored for years. Near
4y twenty years ago there was an
association in this city but 1t was be-
yond their means TO erect building.
A few years ago their dreams were
realized and magnificent building
was constructed. 1t is only right
then that the people should desire it
to accomplish the mission for which
their sacrifices were made and it is
up to the men in whose trust it has
been placed to see that this Is done.
An association of fully thousand
members is not too large for a city
the size of Grand Junction nor is it.
unreasonable to expect that ii Will
reach this proportion in a short time.
With a membership of less than three
hundred there is little to recommend
the present management or to prom
Use that they will accomplish what
they ought to accomplish with the
means at their control. Is it not
then very evident that new man
agement is so-ely needed?
There is little doubt but what
the directors feel the truth of this
and that the Y. NJ. C. A. under a new
management is about to come into
its own.
Every person in the city owes it
to the association to get behind it
and boost for an enrolment of 1 900
members.

Forest fires, according to report,
have been causing a lot of trouble
along the line of the Colorado Mid

had been started by sparks from the
Colorado Midland engine No. 13.
These fires ragged for several hours
before they were gotten under con-
troll, Much timber was burned be-
tween Norrie and Mast. and the word
has gone forth for all foresters to
watch for the first signs of fire. Hunt
eTs are said to have been responsible
for the earlier fires in that region.

ALARMING CONDITIONS
. ON COAST Of HONDURAS

New Orleans. La, Oct. 12.-Pas-
sengers arriving from Amapala re-
port that the condition of affairs on
the west coast of Honduras is alarm
ing, according to special dispatches
to the Picayune of this city.
1t is reported that General Valla-
deras, the governor of Amapala. who
is hostile to the foreigners, has been
preaching anti-foreignism and revo-
luton among the natives, and has
succeeded in arousing them to high
pitch of excitement. The foreigners
have barricaded their homes.
President Davila of Honduras has
demanded the resignation of Valla-
darcs: but the latter refused to re-
sign. and sent word that, if any at
tempt was made to put him out, he
would start revolution.

EASTON CATCHES
KING" TROUT

Harry l.. Hiatt. the well-known
horsemau and blacksmith, exhibited
to The Sentinel today a photograph
of the King" trout of the West
caught by DR. w. j. Easton, a vet
erinary surgeon of Salt Lake, former
Ny a resident of this city. He was
popularity known as BILLY" Easton
in this city and has many friends
here. The trout weighed 22 pounds
and was caugA in competition for a
prize offered by the Salt Lake Tri-
bune, which paper has the following
to say in regard to the remarkable
catch:
The young whale. otherwise known
as trout caught last week by DR..
Easton. will probably long hold the
record for the largest trout caught in
the state.
The fish, which was sent to Salt
Lake last week for exhibition at the
fair, will be- mounted and placed in
the hands of State Fish and Game
Commissioner Chambers. to form the
nucleus of museum of Utah's ami
NAL life.
There seems to be no doubt but
that DR.. Easton will draw down the
prize of So per pound offered by the
TribAne for the largest trout caught
this eason. The prize would be $40
and .kogether with the S25 fishing
outfV offered by the Western Arms
& Spbrting Co., will make ii Sl35.
This. we believe, is the largest price
ever paid for fish in the state, and
is an hcnor which Dr. Easton will
not 7a5ea have to give up.

sity to prove that neither tho acts
nor the policies of the Republican
party r responsible for the high
prices of which the people so loudly
complain, the head of the republic
can administration takes refuge IN
the quantitive theory at which the
republicans laughed uproaringly
through three campaigns, and quiet
ly assures us that the high prices
are due to an excess of gold, with

manipulation by trusts.
Professor Laughlin of the Uni
versity of Chicago takes issue with
the musty old economic theory Of
other professors, of Mr.. Bryan and
now of Mr.. Taft, but probably not
of the republicans generally, and
says that increased production of
gold does not explain the high
prices on everything We consume.
He lays it to general extravaganza
in national, state and municipal
government and in doing so he
comes. much nearer the truth. But
he should 90 further. as that is but

AN UNSAFE REFUGE

President Taft has declared his
adherence to the quantitive theory
of money enunciated so confidently
by Mr.. Bryan in the campaign of
1896. in speaking at the Lincoln
banquet, he said that the high
prices were easily traced to the in
crease in our measure of values.
the precious metal. and possibly in
some cases to the combinations i'm
restraint of trade" If he intends
to go before the people on that
statement of the case. he may as
well count upon defeat from the be-
ginning.
1t is an academic theory of polit-
ical economists of the old school
that prices rise and fall rs the gold
supply is deficient or excessive. In
other words it is the gold measure
of values which huctuatcs in &C
cordancc with the law of supply
and demand. Bryan held to this
theory in his campaign. and said the
low prices of the hard timeC then
closing were caused by the scarcity
Of gold, as it took only a little of it
tobuy a bushcl of potatoes. He
wanted to add silver TO the standard
in order to raise prices by dcprc.
ciating the measure of values.
At that time the republicans
secuted the idea, probably includ-
ing Mr.. Taft, though Mr.. Bryan
had the ancient and honorable po-
litical economy professors with him.
Since then there has a great in
crease in the worlds product Of
gold. Prices have gone up particu-
larry in the United States. Mr..
Bryan maintained during his last
campaign that this proved his thco-
ry, and that there being now enough
gold, silver is unnecessary as an adj.
dition to the standard. He was
secuted again by the republicans.

Mr.. GARFIELD'S WARNING

Former Secretary Garfield's warn
ing to the Republican party of Ohio,
and through it, incidentally, to the
Republican party of the nation,
does not bear any of the marks
which the sorehcads put upon his
u~tterances. Mr.. Garfield has no
cause to assume the attitude of a
disgruntled or disappointed politi-
clan. Nor does he so. He is still in
line with those policies his party
processes to espouse and represent.
Coming from such a man, and
prompted by the spirit which
evidently actuates it, Mr.. Garficld's
warning is both timely and wcighty.
He has no quarrel with the party
leaders because they have failed to
resolve" to carry out what 20 him
appears to be the clearly expressed
will Of the people. His complaint
is that the pledges made have not
been fulfilled. Warming to his
subject, he makes the significant
statement that the party cannot
deceive itself with the idea that the
people will be satisfied with the
mere repetition of promises, and
that they demand and are entitled
to action.
Mr.. Garfield sees difficulty in the
position of a party with broken
pledges making up its recent record
going before the people and asking
a vote of confidence. The party
of progress" according to his view,
finds itself in an anomalous situation.
The people do not ask to be shown.
They know what the record of the
last few years d~iscloscs. They have
but to point to the party platform
of 1908 and the results achieved or
attempted since that election.
His conclusion is that the
progressive party is the party Of
the people. He does not say that
this must necessarily be called the
Republican party. But he is still
enough of n partisan to believe that
the great majority of the people,
believing in the new order Of things,
demand that the Republi can
party contltIIe to be the progress
sive party. -Nomn's National
