PLAYING BOTH ENDS.

Playing both ends against the
middle is always a poor game; but.
every time a factional fight in one
of the old parties develops, you can
pick out a lot of fellows who ad-
roitly perform the aforesaid stunt.
1t is to be noted particularly in
connection with the Republican
split up.
Grand Junction has lot of Re
publicans who are anxious to hold
on to soft snaps or to gobble up
softer ones. and who. as result.
are Taft men one hour and Roose-
welt men another hour. just de-
pending upon which brand of Re
PUBLICAN leader they may be con-
versing with.
Heres hoping that these fellows.
whether in the Republican party OF
Democratic party, get an invitation
to a crow banquet when election is
over. no matter who wins.-Grand

The term "spell-binder" has been
applied to speakers or orators in
D campaign. OF these, 1t Is said
more than ten Thousand are en-
iplOyed by the different political par
ties each national campaign and they
are paid a salary ranging from $50
10 $500 week and expenses. The
term "spell-binder' probably grew
out of the influence of oratory up
on the average listener, which is eff
fective under the strain of excite
ment produced, binding them for a
spell by it's magic, Or until the ner-
vous minds relax and they begin to
think again in calmer mood for
themselves. The spell-binder may
be sincere or insincere and in cases
may be employed merely for his
gift of oratory. either to cement
opinion or create dissention. He has
always been and Is still political
power. dangerous or beneficial, as
may be. and aside from his pay he
Is often rewarded with some office.

TOO MUCH POLITICS.

1t is to be feared that political
ambition in this country may reach
the stage of political mania We
have seen business man leave his
customers to tell others how the
government should be run; have
seen a laborer, densely ignorant, har-
rangue crowd in a city from
housetop; have heard orators grow
boarse describing the different sorts
of menace to the nation. and have
witnessed piqued ward heelers have
fit because jealous of some other
"heeler" and change parties the mo-
ment any demand was not met.
There are still more notable exam
pies, with which all are familiar.
The multiplied number of parties is
not SO much on on account of dis
satisfaction among the people as it
is the result of soreness or selfish
ness among politician. AS mat
ter of fact, too much politics today
is the most serious menace this
country is called upon to face.

RoosEvELT,s POPULARITY.

Four years ago all Americans
saw much to admire in Theodore
Roosevelt. Today this is so much
changed that even the ranks of his
most recent admirers are being
thinned by gradually dropping out.
There are those not among his ad-
mirers who insist: The man is GER
tainly crazy" Whether that be the
case or not, Col. Roosevelt's con-
duct covering period of brief
few months. has been such as to
lose him very large per cent of
the people. who. previous to that
time. applauded him as the nations
most distinguished citizen. Moth

his present position, will regain for

There are people in this day and
age who come to believe the coun-
try Is going to the dogs II some
thing morbidly sensational does not
happen at least once week For
this the daily press rs much to
blame. In order to fill space and
warrant reading. they have written
to cultivate taste for sensation
alism. Following their cue, and
very often without brains enough
to conjure up opinions OF their own,
dissatisfied politicians read and
watch for an idea which they may
believe may appeal to some class OF
readers and plunge 1t into sub
ject for spellbinding And just then

CATTLE ARE READY MONEY.

A Delta cattleman recently re-
ce'ved a letter from Kansas City
buyers, worded as follows: Prices
are $3.50 above record. II you don't
want to come TO Kansas City with
your cattle let me know and l will
come out or send a man"
The above indicates in what de-
'mand cattle are at present. in the
markets. and how slight hope there
is of sufficient supply to lower the
present high prices quoted.
The man who owns a few hun
dred cattle at this time. surely
has a right to sit in the shade and
