THE uNExpEnDeD BALANCE.


 Organized democracy of Garland county is just now burdened with an unanswered question, the solution of which is occasioning much comment.
 ''what shall we do with our undi- yided surpiusg4
 When the executive committee of the grand old democracy of Garland county set sail to nold a primary election last spring 1t made some as sessments, and made them good and strong
 At the conclusion of the aforesaid primary election, and after the afore- said executive committee had settled all it's tabs, official and unofficial, there was 8 balance.
 The balance was lurking resttully in the hands Of the orgaplzation treasurer ready to defense in time b. attack from the enemy, until some discussion arose.
 Inasmuch as the money was paid by candidates for party nomination, for the purpose Of defraying the ex pense of party election, and was an overpay. there arose from many a call for refund.
 The candidates who met defeat felt they had something coming to them. They had been deceived. They had been candidates for office through unseifish sacrifice to county's veal. Their friends had made 1t certain to them that all the people wanted them.
 Being patriots. sons of other pa tTiots. and sires of even patriots to come. they volunteered themselves ready # selected to take up the heavy mantIes of public service and make the best of the situation.
 But there was great mistake. The patriot market was overrun. In de- sIring to reward all patriots the vot- ssss ssasasnaa there were not enough offices for all Of them, and there had to be a choosing between.
 The result was more or less satis- factory to those most concerned. and particularly satisfactory to those who the official results s;-1wed had more votes than the others in the field.
 The unexpended balance in the treasury organization belongs to de- mocracy, at least by force ot that rule which quotes possession as many points in law, But democracy can't eat il,
 What will be done with 1t? One suggests that the money be spent in party barbecues and picnics, just the same as if the nominees had strenu- ous opposition. just to show the demo crats that the organization loves the voters in time of easy sailing .s.s Ut loves them in time ss,s -ylSssas

OUR STREAMS SHOULD BE
STOCKED WITH TROUT

Fishing along the upper Gunni-
son has been at a lull the past
week, it being regarded poor sport
just at the close of the willow fly
season, the trout being over-fed by
the great number of flies falling in
to the stream. 1t requires several
days after the willow-fly season for
the trout to recover their appetites.
An occasional nice trout is being
caught in the Gunnison at Delta,
proving that trout will do well here
and more attention should be given
to stocking streams nearby. A few
trout were emptied into the Gunni-
son few years ago and these being
caught are no doubt some of the
same little fellows, now grown to
gamey fish ten to twelve inches in
length. Even Dry creek, a few
miles above Delta is becoming fair
ly well stocked with trout, and
Buttermilk. Dirty George, Tongue
Creek, Escalante and Roubideau, all
have trout lying in them.
Practically no attention has been
given to stocking the streams and
there is no reason why Delta people
should be compelled to go one hun
dred miles up the Gunnison to do
their fishing

DELTA BOY WRITES FROM
BATTLESHIP CLEVELAI

u. S. S. Cleveland, Mare Island, Cal
Editor Independent, Delta, Colo.
Dear Sir:-Many people in the in
terror states of the country have very
false ideas in regard to the navy in
general, but particularly regarding
the personnel of the naval service.
When ever the navy is mention
ed the average citizen of Colorado
or Kansas at once conjures up Wis
ions of drunken sailors, hardened
and rough old Cars with a deep sea
lingo. In regard to the pay and
duties of the men in the finest
service in the world,' there are
many erroneous ideas current, which
to man in the navy, or anyone who
is acquainted with the facts, are eX-
tremely ludricous. In the first
place there are no sailors" in our
navy. The men of the deck force
are seamen, apprentices, ordinary
seamen, boatswain's mates, quarter
masters, coXswains, gunners' mates,
carpenters, ship-fitters and commits
ary stewards. The sailor passed
away in company with the gallant
old fighting frigates of 1912, when
the Yankee man-of-wars-man defied
the proud mistress of the seas and
trailed the flag of naughty England
in defeat. The advent of the marine
engine sounded the death knell of
the picturesque and romantic sailor,
whom all the world loved for his
boisterous, breezy airs, and with all
his drunken sprees and shortcom-
ings, the world forgave him. for
Jack Tar was not held anenable to
the land made laws of the land lub-
bers.
The modern dread-naught battle
ship has revolutionized the armadas
OF the world from ships of wood and
sail to floating masses of intricate
and marvellous machinery, verit-
able workshop with all the mechan-
1cal trades represented. The sailor
has given way to the skilled arti-

san, and the old "wind-jammer" has
been replaced by the 70,00O-horse-
power turbine bastleship cruiuser
with the speed of railroad train
and the destructive possibilities of
an army of 100000 men.
Over one half of the crew of a
modern battleship are in the skill
ed trades, such as machinists, cleo
tricians, boiler makers, blacksmiths,
| carpenters, wireless telegraph oper-
ators, exc, also the yeomen, who
are the clerks and stenographers on
board the ship. The deck force al
so offers good opportunities to men
withoutu trades to qualify as boat
swains' mates and quarter masters.
while these ratings do not pay as
high wages as those of the engin-
eer's department, such as machin-
lists, electricians, water tenders, etc.
still the opportunities for ad-
vancement are good. All men are
given a chance to qualify for the
commissioned ranks of machinist,
boatswain and gunner, which pay
1,S00 to 2$,5O0 per annum, and
expenses, with three-fourths pay and
retirement at the end of thirty
years service.
Harrington Emerson, the great
railroad economy engineer, after
spending year with the Atlantic
fleet, testified that the fleet was the
finest example of economic manage
ment and efficient organization that
he had ever seen, and was far ahead
of any railroad management thai he
had investigated. When one consid-
ers that the modren navy is only
twenty years old, and the railroad
nearly five times that, then the
wonderful progress of our navy de-
partment can be appreciated. The
old fogey argument that the govern
mnet can't do things without graft
and a vast waste of money, is
answered. by our navy, "the finest
service in the world" and, as veri-
fled by the greatest economy expert
in the country, the most efficient
