TAFT IS NOT A GROVER CLEVE,
LAND.


In introducing President Taft,
Frank X. Lawrence, president of the
Lotus club, said:
We have seen not SO very long ago
a great president put out OF Office by Il
popular revolution at the cad of a
single term and swept back into it rs
though by a whirlwind four years lat
er. And history repeats itself and
what has occurred before may occur
again. Report Lotus Club dinner.
The intimation that four years from
now the American people may reverse
the judgment Of this November ana
reinstate William Howard Taft in the
presidency, just as they did Grover
Cleveland after they had one time re-
tired him from Office by an adverse
vote, is quite far fetched conclusion
It rests on very poor basis, and, it
is probable, arises from a decided
misunderstanding of the conditions
that exist at this time, as well as 0I
the very great temperamental differ
ences in the two men.
Cleyelands reelection was an ex-
preston of confidence In him on the
part o fthe most stable element of the
country. In his first term of official
life he demonstrated a sterling devo"
ton to the public interests that could
not fail to win for him the esteem Of
men of other parties than his own.
His determination to maintain the
sound monetary standard, his infleY-
ible opposition to anything approach
ing graft, his unwillingness to allow
victory to be utilized for a raid upoa
the treasury, whether in the form of
pork barrel' or in the shape of I'M
necessary offices, and, above all, his
unWavering attachment to the princi-
pies of genuine tariff reform, were
conspicuous elements in his official
career that drew to him hundreds OF
thousands of Republicans who were
alienated from their party by it's fab
by attitude on these great issues.
Taft, on the contrary, has shown
none of the inflexibility of Cleveland
in redeeming his personal and party
pledges. Unlike Cleveland he proved
a yacillating president, at first leaning
toward the progressive elements Of
his party, then veering to the reac-
tionary elements, and finally landing
squarely in their camp and continuing
under their tutelage and guidance
Grover Cleveland stood pat" for tariff
reform Of a genuine character. VIII
liam II. Taft stood pat" for fake
reforms The former was ready t o
war with the bosses" of his party if
need be to carry through the relief
measures that had been promised the
nation The latter was acquiescent to
the bosses" of his party when they
protested against the carrying out of
the pledges given in the campaign. To
Cleveland a party pledge was a solemn
bond in all honor to be executed. To
Taft it seemed under the sinister in
fluences that surrounded him, to be-
come something to be iuggled with
and distorted out of all resemblance
to its original meaning.
No, the American people are not
likely to repeat history in this in
stance. Many strange things may hap
pen in politics, but the return of Pres
ident Taft to the White House in
1917 is entirely too strange. 1t is too
foreign to the discerning spirit of the
nation, too antagonistic to the spirit
that now actuates them.

MOUNTAIN NEAR MEEKER
GETS INTO THE ROAD
Sentinel Special Service.

Sentinel Special Service.
Meeker, Colo, Feb. 13.-On the
Meeker-Rifle stage road. near the di-
vision line of Rio Grande and Gar
field counties. is located mountain
possessed of unusual and unexpected
notions to change its location when
ever fancy dictates.
The moving mountain. which
about year ago changed its location
at the side of the road to a place di-
rectly in the center of that highway,
is. according to reports, again dis
playing evidences of activity
The mountain first changed its To-
cation last year. At that time it slid
seventy-five feet and blocked the
stage road, with the result that a
new road had to he built around it
before the stage line and other traf-
fic could get through.
Its first display of activity created
havoc with the Meeker-Rifle tele-
phone line, the wires of which had
been strung over the crest of the
mountain, causing the manager of
the company to put a force of men n
the field and run the wires around it
in wide semi-circle.
Biologists differ as to the actual
causes of the mountains movements,
but they are agreed on the point that
these activities are due to internal
disturbances. The government road
passes through an extensive coal sec
tion, and it is believed that the noun
tain either rests on or contains an
unusually large and combustible vein
of this material.

Sentinel Special Service.
Telluride, Colo, Feb. 13.-For
preventing the escape Of Jesse R
Mum, trusty convict from the
penitentiary road gangs near Fort
Collins three weeks ago, Deputy
Sheriff E l. Cooke of that city will

escape into Wyoming.
Mum shot and killed Goeglin as
the latter was passing through
door after arresting Munn for disor-
derby conduct, July 81, 1910. Mum
escaped to New Mexico, but surren-
dered several weeks later when fore
ed to seek food at a ranch. He was
returned TO Telluride. where he Sc
cured a change Of venue TO Ouray
county He was found guilty of
manslaughter by jury, which was
severely criticised by Judge Shackle-
ford who imposed the maximum pen
atty.
The murder of Goeglin, who was
popular officer here. embittered
the citizens of Telluride, who be-
lieved Mum to be dangerous man
and not dealt with severely enough
by the jury. The loving cup will
be presented to Cooke in recogni-
zance of his work in bringing a des-
perate criminal to an end.

Washington, Feb. l3.-The nat

by Senator Smoot is to receive early
attention. This bill asks for cen
raj authority to control all nation
al parks and scenic reservations. and
recommends that appropriations be
made Immediately available Tor de-
velopment of these places.
In recent address concerning this
bill, Senator Smoot called attention
to the fact that there is in our nat
ional parks some of the suDlimest

these scenic areas. being almost

"If we do thus centralize the
control of the parks the senator
continued in a recent address, 81 am
sure they will make the greatest of
Fairgrounds, and thus be OF vastly
more benefit to all the people. Then,
instead of spending many millions
o. dollars tayeling in Europe, we will

chants and farmers. The time win
come when IL will be both populai

SAYS MESA COUNTY
TAX is UNJUST
Continued from Page II

continued from rage L.
The Sentinel.
I'VE have no desire to be anything
but fair with the county and the
state board of equalization, said
Mr.. Corey, but we certainly think
that We should not be assessed on
331s per cent valuation when the
other property in this county is as
sessed on a valuation of 20 per cent.
We decided to make an unconditional
tender of a settlement on the basis
OF a 20 per cent valuation. Your
county treasurer could not accept
the same. The matter will be taken
up as soon as convenient with your
board of county commissioners and
every effort made to bring about a
fair and Just adjustment"
The other gentlemen endorsed the
statement made by Mr.. Corey.
The matter is a most important
one as can be readily seen and If the
companies should win out on the ba-
sis of their tender this morning and
secure a reduction of some 40 perl
cent in their 1911 taxes it would
make a great difference in the 1912
income of Mesa county.
The Denver & Rio Grande's 1911
taxes In the state aggregate some
100000. the Midland's 100000.
The following are the 1911 taxes
due the county of Mesa from the
companies that made protest today:
Denver Il Rio Grande- ,267.49
Rio Grande junction. l 6,632 20
Cintah Railroad---------- 4,921.35
Colorado Midland ------- 2.32S.25
Globe Express Company 2S199l
Grand Total ,431.2S
These companies contend that they
should have a reduction of 40 per
cent from the above amount in or
der to he put on an equal basis with
other property. This forty per cent
reduction on the total would mean
a reduction of S22,572.51, which
would make big hole in Mesa coun-
tvs income from 1911 taxes.
