REVIVAL VS.. PUGILISM

AT the revival meeting held
last Thursday by Evangelist J. S.
Hamilton at Grand Junction e
appealed to his 700 hearers to
make a special effort to be pres
ent and induce others to be pres
ent at the revival meeting for the
following Friday. The counter
attraction was a group OF pugi-
lists, Jim Jeffries. Frank Gotch,
Sam Berger and their troupe of
players. In referring to the re-
vivals and the opposing attraction
Evangelist Hamilton said, 1--we
been hearing things about you
people, I've -ieard that most of
you are going to desert me and
go to see Jeffries. How about it?
This is the third week of these
meetings and the third week is

any extra effort to bring in friends
but | would like to see every seat

TIE attendance at the sparring
and wrestling exhibition was 900
while that at the revival was about
1.200, clearly showing that Grand
Junction has greater interest in
things spiritual and intellectual
than in exhibitions of mere ply
sical skill Were it not for the
novelty of the boxing, wrestling
and dramatic program put up by
Big Burly Jim and his associates,
we venture the opinion that many
who did attend the show would
no, do so, so often were they given
the opportunity.

The president shows he means bus
mess every foot OF the way in the Pan
anna canal enterprise by his determine
ton to make a personal inspection Of
the work and the important problems
attending it. No man in public life is
so well qualified to grapple with these
questions, for he has made them the
subject Of long and patient study and
be is determined to have the canal
completed before the time set for it's
opening, in January, 1915.
It seems that the two most difficult
and important matters to be disposed
Of are the adjustment Of tolls and the
plans for handling the coal. What
the government has to keep in mind in
both is the fact that the canal is pri-
marily a business enterprise that must
attract shipping to be successful. The
mere building Of the canal itself will
not bring all available shipments
through its portals. This has to be
understood at the very outset There
is just one thing that will get this
business, and that is fair and just
rates, or tolls. The vast amount of
transoceanic freight that is now being
transported by other routes can and
will continue to go the same way after
the canal is built just as well as at
present unless the canal makes an at
tractlve bid for it that will save the
shipper time or money, or both.
The other emergency to be met, that
of providing for the coal and prevent
ing the possibility of private interests
building pockets along the way and
laying the foundation for a monopoly
in the fuel, is scarcely less important.
1t may be necessary in this case for
the government to so into the business
of selling coal. The work of con-
structing the canal is proceeding so
fast and so satisfactory that it would
be unfortunate to err at the outset in
any OF the details of management.

Now for the Maine

Nothing remains to be done now to-
ward raising the Maine but the actual
work, the red tape preliminaries hav-
ing been gone through with and the
president having approved the plans.
The experts say they will have the
wreck ready for exhibition by the mid
die of February. Aside from the
humanitarian and sentimental aspects
of the case, the resurrection of the
vessel can have little significance.
What will it matter whether the evil
dences support the theory that the ex-
plosion was from within or without?
The spanish-American war has been
fought and Porto Rico, Cuba and the
Philippines stand as living monuments
to the fact that the world is better off
as a result and all that justice needs
for its defense is the record of the war
itself.
What If the declaration of war did
follow the explosion in Havana haT-
Dor? That was not the cause, but a
circumstance in the cause of the war
1t did not create, it only precipitated
hostilities 1t cannot possibly change
anything, therefore, at this date,
whether the explosion came from a
submarine mine set by Spanish SOL
diers or from an accident within the
vessel due to American carelessness;
whether it was Spanish perfidy or
Yankee neglect. No amount of senti-
mental hurrah or jingoism now can
alter the facts.
1t is an evidence of American fair
ness to have a representative of the
Spanish government present when the
ship is brought from it's resting place
of dozen years and more, but, after
ALL even this can serve no decisive
purpose. So far as that is concerned
American experts seem to feel certain
that the fact Of an exterior explosion
will be established when the ship is
raised, and the United States govern
ment is not worrying over the matter
one way or the other. Probably the
most important object of all is to re-
bury the remains of the sixty odd
heroes in Arlington cemetery.

Police the Forests.

Surely our government realizes that
greater protection to our forests is es-
sential. Its astounding loss of human
life and priceless timber this year
must have convinced 1t of that. All
the different theories and policies of
conservation in the world will do no
good so long as the forests are left un-
protected and subject to the ravages
of fire, which in the last few months
have consumed millions OF dollars and
scores Of lives, wiping out towns and
homes and lifetime prospects in vari-
Gus portions of the country.
One thing is proved beyond cavil or
question; our forest ranger service is
pitifully inadequate and should be
augmented. 1t should be brought up
to a quota that will at least offer some
reasonable hope of protection to the
forests and the people within or near
them. 1t does seem that this is the
first and most essential step in the
process of practical conservation, no
matter by what theorists name it may
go, no matter whether it contemplates
state or national control. 1t is no
time to discuss mere theory when life
and the nations resources are at
stake Here is something that could
be done-this increase in the forest
ranger service. And If that is not
sufficient, take the next step. But at
all events the government is simply
marking time when it stops to indulge
the theorist when it is the practitioner
who is wanted.
Another simple thing that should
be done is to adopt such rules and reg
ulations as viii stop tourists and hunt
ers in their criminally careless habits
of leaving fires burning in timber do
mains. Many destructive confagra-
tions have come from just such trivial
causes. 1t is also necessary to throw
up better safeguards against sparks
from locomotives on railroads travers-
ing forest country. These are all lit
tie matters that could and should be
attended to.
