Esperanto and Sentiment.

The song that has been written for the
Esperanto congress and styled the Ma
tional Anthem is unfortunately named.
Where. may one ask, is Esperanto on
the map? Who, 1t may be inquired, are
the people of Esperanto? 1t is unwise
thus to attempt to nationalist" this in
ternational code-tongue which Is designed
for the special purpose of communica-
ton between the peoples of differing
races and speeches. Only by definitely
recognizing and preserving the racial
speech forms OF the world families of
people is it possible to establish any uni
versal system of communication. Thus
far the advocates of Esperanto have
wisely avoided the suggestion that this
invention Is to replace any one of the
languages or dialects. The strongest ap-
peal which it makes is that of a supple
mentary. auxiliary speech
On the sentimental side Esperanto
makes a certain appeal which cannot be
this medium will come better under
standing between the peoples of the
world, leading to the establishment OF
peace between nations, is effective in en-
listing the interest and the support OF
those who are working in the field of the
higher altruism. But II is necessary at
the same time, in order to give such
movement force. to appeal to a selfish
interest as well. AS long as the advo-
cacy of Esperanto rests upon pure inter-
nationalism as a sublimated sentiment
of universal brotherhood it will fail of
success. 1t has already been pointed out
that there is difficulty in the way of the
adoption of even so obviously practical a
method of International measurement as
the metric system, which conduces to an
extension of trade in the world field.
How much greater then will be the diff
Guilty in the establishment of Esperanto
as world speech IL its primary appeal
is sentimental?
This is not to discourage the movement.
On the contrary, the gathering here in
Washington of delegates from all over
the world in this interest is an inspiring
spectacle, a fresh token of the tendency
of all the races toward a better under
standing, toward a higher civilization
and a more rapid evolution of masses of
people. 1t is token of the times and
i'm itself is a most praiseworthy enter
prise the leaders of which deserve the
highest credit for their ingenuity. their
persistence and, above all. their unself-
ishness Of aim. But in such movements
there is always danger of excessive zeal.
of an obscuring Of the real objects and
issues. Especially in a matter like the
acquisition of a new speech-code is there
a tendency toward the academic and. as
already suggested. the sentimental. There
is danger that Esperanto may be regarded
as an accomplishment and not as a
means to an end. The styling of the
official song of the congress a National
Hymn is In this direction.

Be Tidy.
From the Milwaukee Wisconsin.

from the MILWAUKEE, NiScUnsiH.
When "Sherbie" Becker was mayor he
enlisted the children of the city in a
cleanup crusade and on that day mcst
of the waste paper and other light rub
bish disappeared from the streets of Mil
waukee. The enlistment was for only
a single day, but it showed what could
be done. That was nearly four years
ago. II man from Mars were 10 hap
pen on earth and make quick survey
Of some parts of the city he would be
likely to assume there had been no clean
up day since To have tidy city the
best provision is to have tidy people. III
everybody forebore from making needless
litter there would not be so much rubbish
blowing about on windy days-there
would be less need of extraordinary
vigilance and unremitting Industry on
the part of a few. AS matters stand,
some people are tidy and some are not
and the city will present an untldy ap-
pearance unless tidy folks, for the sake
of the general good. are willing 10 pick
up litter which those who are not tidy
have heedlessly thrown down.

A Vacation JOY.

Now let the farmer gather gold
From every bush and tree
And live amid the haunts extolled
For peace and rustic glee.
In spite of all the poet sings,
When truth is sifted down
The best that a vacation brings
Is getting back to town.
Who has not tried the simple life
Among the birds and bees,
And lodged the insects in their strife
And waded to his knees
In dewy grass where brambles grow
And yellow jackets throng-
Hurrah, The home bound engines blow
Once more the city song!

Shoe Shine Business.
from the Philadelphia Ledger.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
II is reported that boys employed In
shining shoes in Trenton are compelled
to work from am. to IL pm. are
poorly paid and whipped II slow. OF such
tips as they receive so per cent must be
turned over to the employers. In short,
the conditions portrayed are little less
than actual bondage. Shoe shining once
was the vocation of individual boys. In
all large cities II has gone into the con-
troll Of a combination that has all the
aspects OF a trust. There seems no reason
why II should be Immune from regula-
tion.

clerk of Florence.
They found the filtering system of
Fort Collins, most alluring. II was
an agreeable revelation to study the
merits of the Roberts filter. which is
being installed at the present time at
Fort Collins. The manufacturers
guarantee a capacity of four million
gallons every twenty-four hours and
it is said that ii is so easily operated
that one man can easily do the work.
When dirty the filters can be cleaned
in less than seventeen minutes, this
being the longest time which was
ever taken to demonstrate the fact.
The filter consists of four large tanks
or reservoirs with a sand bed bottom.
Underneath the sand are two planes
of perforated pipes cross sectioning
each other. One set of pipes is con-
nected with an air pump and the
other with water pump, This me-
chanism is for the cleaning of the
sand which covers the bottom of the
tanks. The filtering is being done by
chemical process. When the sand be-
comes absorbed with the sediment in
one reservoir the water is turned off
and by the turning of two valves air
and water are forced through the two
pidHtS VI ptllbIdltu pipes lying VII
der the sand and the escaping water
and air causes the thin layer of sand
to boil and foam. The sand being
the heaviest seeks the lower level
and the light sediment and mud flows
off through a drain in the bottom of
the tank. Probably less than fifteen
minutes is required for this operation
and the sand when again allowed 10
settle is said to be as white and clean
as refined sugar. The water Is then
turned back and the filtering con-
| tinues.
1t would cost Grand Junction more
to operate this plant than it would
Fort Collins which has gravity wa
ter supply, the tanks being sunk in
the bed of creek. Grand Junction
would have to pump from the river
to the tank and from the tanks to the
storage reservoirs but the cost would
not be any greater than 1t is at the
present time and the city would be
supplied with pure, clear and soft
water said to be the equal in every
respect to the mountain product AZ

water inspection trip to the cities on
the eastern slope. and in an interview
With The Sentinel this morning Mr..
Yedder detailed many interesting and
important observations which they
made while gone.

which they saw on their trip was that
which supplies the thriving little city

pronounced practically pure and free
many of the most prominent experts
of the country.
Install the meter system OF charg-
ing for water" they were told on
their trip at every place where that
method is used. "and you will cut
down the consumption of water one
half"
The city of Greeley has splendid
mountain water. They pipe il 3S
miles and yet not a citizen of that
city could be prevailed upon to say
1t wasn't worth the expenditure.
Boulder also has a fine. pure, clear
and soft water supply, and in fact
not a city that they visited but what
had good water and far superior to
the fluid which is consumed here.
Though sent for the express pur-
pose of investigating water systems
they also kept their eyes open for
other features wherein the eastern
slope cities are farther advanced than
Grand Junction and probably the
most noticeable was in the matter of
taxes.
Mayor Todd and Commissioner
Vedder are very well satisfied with
their trip and are quite enthusiastic
over the prospects of Grand Junction
to own good water system, after
seeing the several excellent systems
of the eastern slope cities, at any rate
they have received many helpful sug-
gestions and IL will not be only a
matter of a few days until some defi-
mite announcement will be made as to
how Grand junction is going to solve
the water question.

Many people are often heard to
ask, "What becomes of all the money
that is paid to the county in taxes"
The Sentinel has secured some very
interesting figures along this line,
figures that have not heretofore been
made public and which are import
ant as well as interesting.
For the year of 1900 there are now
payable a total of S57S, 5S3. Or in
taxes, these taxes being due on March
LIST, or rather onc-half of them are
tober 1st. This is the highest sum
ever scheduled for collection for taxes
in this county.
OF this great sum the table given
below will show that less than S1t2,-
900 goes to the county itself for the
maintenance of the cOunty's business
system, roads, bridges, institutions,
and this also includes the S25, 900 APP
pripriation for the Main street bridge.
The taxes to be collected this year,
for the year 1909, in this county, will
be distributed as follows:
To the state. S 31,.s2S.g2

To the towns .... 10,O21.11
To the irrigation districts IO3, $3.50
To the school districts. 100, ,tB5.25
These taxes embrace all of the
taxes legally collected for any public
purpose in this county. All of these
taxes are paid through the office of
the county treasurer.
