On Saturday Mesa county was
declared swept for Mr.. Roosevelt by
the Grand Junction News. The vote
polled, according to the same paper,
was less than 200 for all the can
didates, OF about one out of every
fourteen voters in the county. So far
the presidential preferential primary
Las not taken very strong hold. Per
haps it would if it became law Of
the states and nation. 1t is ques-
ton whether or not, even then II

to create and nourish party division,

campaign of agitation. In the new

In these days, however, every within

there is just a suspicion of danger
that the voters may become tired

AS a newspaper the Independent
has the right to advocate the re-
nomination of President Taft If 1t
believes in him and chooses to do SO.
Il has and does accord the right to
any and every citizen to possess his
first choice. In SO far as Colorado
lie concerned, it will soon be decided
for whom her vote is to be cast, as
the first state convention will be
held in Colorado Springs on We'd
.nesday of next week. If the state
goes for Mr.. Taft. all right; If for
Col. Roosevelt, we shall bow to the
will of the party in its final express
sion and SO on to the end, when all
the states have been heard from.

Tom Blackwell, while down to at
tend the R publican convention last
week, said if Taft was nominated,
which he feared he would be, that
he din mt think he would get a
look-in On the Old Soldiers vote.
He said he hadn't "heerd" an old
soldier remark upon the subject
who was not opposed to Mr.. Taft.
We believe if Tom would scratch
that little round pate of his and
think real hard-if he can think
he will call to mind veterans OF the
war who are loyal enough to the
Republican party to vote the ticket
no matter who is the candidate. 1t
doesn't follow that because Tom
will bolt if he doesn't get his choice
that everybody will. We know OF
plenty of just such old soldiers as
we mention. and think everybody
else does.

THE DEMOCRAT WAS RIGHT
AS FAR AS HE WEN

A good Democrat, while pass
ing the new million dollar court
house in this city the other day,
made the remark that even If it did
cost heap of money it was a good
ilvestment because it kept a lot of
men employed that might have to
go elsewhere. He was right, but
when the same argument is applied
to the defense of a protective pol
icy for this country he will no doubt
kick over the traces and declare for
free-trade. The policy of protection
has been to foster industry that
would give protection to wage earn
ers at the highest wages paid in the
world. Little as the tariff is on the
many imported articles it has slim
ulated a great increase in every line
of industry. and labor has received
her share, the labor skates argu-
ment to the contrary Notwithstanding
Take off the remainder of the pro-
lection given against foreign labor
and there will be an exodus back to
the foreign lands where labor will
be in demand. but at wages that Am
orleans now frow,n upon. High tariff
means high wages. Low tariff or free
trade, low wages, and in many in
stances no wages.-Pueblo Opinion.

do not. If they received the limit,

A DECISION THAT WAS RECALL
ED

Then said Jesus, Father, forgive
them; for they know not what they
do And they parted his raiment
and cast lots"
So it is told by Luke. Matthew ey-
plains what went before:
When PLATE saw that he could
prevail nothing, but that rather
tumult was Iuade, he took water and
washed his hands before the multi
tude, saying, L am innocent of the
blood of this just person, see We TO
it Then answered all the people
and said, His blood be upon us and
on our children Then released he
Bara'bbas unto them; and when he
had scourged Jesus, he delivered
him to be crucified.
1t was. as said by Congressman
Campbell of Kansas, in his letter
to Roosevelt, the most memorable,
the most momentous case of the re-
call of judicial decision ever re-
corded. The story has been told
over and over for almost two thous-
and years; millions upon millions
have heard the story and felt sor-
rowed and ashamed, yet today there
is in some circles a tendency to owe
look the great truth contained there.
in.
Through all the centuries this
tragic arrangement of peoples within
has stood out from times page to
point the danger of hasty ju dge-
ment, warn against jumping to con-
illusions, trusting the impulses and
refusing to listen to reason. 1t will
avail mankind little. this tragic les
son, if today it is to be held that
but beneath the surface of the CIV
iliZing gloss, is to be permitted to
take the place of those laws, judges,
courts and decisions which reason
ing man has found necessary and
provided in order to protect himself
against his own impetuosity.
"And they parted his raiment and
cast lots II he desire to do so did
not die out in in human nature
that day on Calvary. 1t exists now
as then and then as now there are
always those who are ready to lead
the cutlery. to arouse the prejudices
and appeal to the passions of the
people in order that there may be
a dividing OF raiment and casting OF
lots for the possessions of the cruel
fled one.
Time tells that, more often than
not, when a tumult is made over
another decision, the injustice is in
the tumult rather than the finding
of the court; that the tardy, sober,
second thought of the people comes
to reverse the first impulse in the
same way that for two thousand
years Christianity has been trying
to make amends for the unpardon-
able injustice worked upon the gen.
tlest man in all time.-The Denver
Republican.

There are just two sides to a ques-
tion-the right and the wrong of it.
Every thinker must decide which. in
his or her opinion, is the right and
which is the wrong. The best way to
decide is III moments of calmness, at
which time the most careful judge
ment can be exercised. At the best,
one is likely to get befuddled with
many questions if he attempts to
base his opinion on that of others,
for one may argue one way, while
someone else talks with apparently
as sound logic on the reverse side
Upon many questions, like the tariff
for instance, self interest prooves a
guide for decisions. 1t occasions lit
tie surprise thhat the beet grower
in Colorado, or the cotton planter of
the South, or the lead and zinc
miner should be in favor of a tar
if that would stimulate the mar
ket for their products. On the 9TH
er hand the consumer can perhaps
be regarded as entitled to little
sympathy if he wishes that his mon
ey might have little more purchas-
ing power. To judge future results
by past results was the motto of
Patrick Henry, and that is still
logical way of deciding many mat
ters of public moment.

REOPEN CHARGES
ABOUT TEACHER

Following letter received by SUI
porintendont of Education Pope last
Saturday morning from Supervising
Principal Bertha Ben Taylor of Ha-
wall, the board of commissioners will
in all probability hold an inquiry into
the case in which Principal Herbert
T.. Wilson IL charged by his daughter
and other girls with an unnatural crime.
The matter Is being taken up and in
puiries being made now into charges
that We're preferred against the same
man some years ago. The case will be
gone into more fully during the after
noon session of the commissioners
In letter received last week Miss
Taylor, commenting on the decision Of
the court generating Wilson, stated
that this was Just what she expected,
but now from other things she has
heard since she seems to have changed
her mind. So many charges are being
preferred by various girls, and the dis
she thinks II would be better both for
the department and for Wilson II an
inquiry IL held She hopes that Wilson
can be induced to ask that such n
course he taken.
The same feeling Is said to exist
against Mrs Wilson as against Wilson,
and feeling II running very high on all
sides. BERTHE Wilson, son. who Is at
the present time at the Kamehameha
Schools, Is supposed to know great
deal about the cases.

inquiry should lie held anyway owing

says Clcws. 1T is estimated that
there are about 5U0.000 automobiles
in the United States. II these cost
$1,000 apiece this wOuld mean an out
lay of about $500, 100000. The auto
mobile industry has already assumed

profitable employment to very large
number of people directly aud indi-
rCCtly. But the automobile is gen.

of running 1t is safe to assume that
the average cost of running car, in
Guiding repairs, depreciation, chauf-

Many owners, as Is well known, have
