OH, CONSISTENCY

One of the most ridiculous perform
ances seen in politics in many days Is
the insistence of Costigan, Temple,
Vincent and their rule or ruin grafters
in sending a contesting delegation to
the national convention at Chicago
after being fairly and thoroughly beat
en- in the state convention at Colorado
Springs when Taft delegates were elect
ed and Taft endorsed by two to one
vote after Vincent had been given PEI
mission to rant and rave to his heart :
content on the floor of the convention
hall in support of a Roosevelt delesa-
tion.
tion and submitted their case. They
were granted every courtesy and allow
ed every privilege claimed by the TAFT
followers. They made the best plea
they could which was not enough 20
convince their hearers that Preside at
Taft should be repudiated. They lost
They lost in a fair and square contest
and at the time there was not one OF
the losers who had so completely lost
his self-respect and all regard for the
proprieties of political custom as td
even suggest a eontesting delegation.
Later the losers admit that they arc
taking this unprecedented step at the
behest of Roosevelt and his managers
For the love of Nike Where do these
insurgent contestors get any license =
declare that Guggenheim controlled the
Colorado Springs convention? Dij
any one ever see or even hear of Gug
genheim, Wolcott, Taft or any other
so-called boss demanding any such alb
jeet servility as these discredited pawns
on the political chessboard are now ex
hibiting?
To the credit of Phil Stewart and
Ben Griffith it must be said that theii
sense of justice and propriety will mo-
permit them to fall for such high
handed and INSCRIPTIONS methods, ever
at the demand of the Highcocolorum
the boss wielder of the big stick.

\ PROTESTING +" DELEGATION

In final letter to the public on the
subject of the extra session to re-enact
the Good Roads Bill. Governor Shat
roth definitely announces that he dare
not call the democratic majority of tn.
Legislature together for fear OF the de
pressing influence that it would have
on the business and development Of
Colorado. Has any governor of any
state ever been called upon to make so
shameful confession? The present Col.
orado legislature is no worse than some
of the Legislatures of the past in Cali
fOrnia when that state was an annex
to the Southern Pacific or in Illinois
when "Boss'' Yerkes was jamming
through his Chicago franchise bills, but
in neither of those states was the gov
ernor of the majority party called upon
to confess it. If Shafroth wer as big
a man as Hiram johnson of California
or Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey. he
would get that legislature together,
make them pass the needed legislation
and adjourn, eating out of his hand.
It the difference between the real big
man of affairs and Shafroth.-Grand

DIGGING DITCH FASTER
THAN COURT CAN TNJOIN

Ranchers on the Uncompahgre pro
iect of the government at Montrose,
representing 1000 acres of the finest
fruit and vegetable land in the country,
are considering what a peculiar situa
tion they will be in, should the injunc-
tion issued by Federal Judge Trieber,
preventing orchardists through whose
lands the west canal is being built from
interfering with reclamation service
employees be dissolved on final hearing.
Dissolution of the injunction would
stop the government work from legal
standpoint; but, before it is issued, If
it is ever issued, the ditch will long
since have been finished and water from
the Gunnson tunnel will be pouring
onto the rich lands and helping cult
vate the orchard and vegetable tracts.
What is the government to do in a
ease of this kind. is question that is
being asked and is unanswered. 1t is a
pertinent question, too, because the
ditch is now nearly finished, and in d
few days it is expected that it will be
entirely completed. The government
may have to let it stand idle, or per
haps stop water going through and fill
it up and deprive the ranchers of their
water.
The workmen are throwing spades
full of dirt faster than Assistant Unit
ed States Attorney Ethelhert Ward can
write briefs and answers in reply to
the defense of the Montrose county
ranchers through whose land the canal
is being built, and the federal attorney
believes that the water is going to be
running through the dry lands of ex
pectant homesteaders and others before
he finishes the reply.
The legal race apparently is going
to the ditch diggers as against the

. PROGRESSIVE, DIFFERENCES

When a newspaper, claiming to BE-
first, last and all the time for the
square deal,'' makes the argument that
the regularly elected delegates from
Colorado to the national republican
convention should be "derricked out -
of their seats, and openly advocates tho
unlawful and rank method of throwing
out legally elected delegates, how can
it maintain any degree of self respect!
Phil Stewart and Ben Griffith proved
that they would not stand for the
''strong arm and disgraceful scheme
outlined by Costigan, Vincent, Temple
and the smaller fry leaders over here,
to send Roosevelt delegation which
would be certain of recognition if
Roosevelt controlled. AS result,
Stewart and Griffith are being severely
criticised by these noble insurgents
who advocate "getting there, no mat
ter how, but get there. .''-Grand June

brief and answer writers. Final hear
ing of the case to make the injunction
permanent will see the canal long since
full of water. There is an element OF
humor in the case, appreciated only by
the government and the men whose
lands are to be benefited by the water.
The ranchers through whose orchards
the government is cutting its way for
the canal are not liable to see any
humor in the situation at all. The
government is forcing matters, because
it says the ranchers who now suffer had
notice years ago that some day the par
ticular route now being followed would
be used for the canal.

STATE ENGINEER Comstock, his
deputy, Mr.. Johnson, and one q. 6,
Sheeley of recent uusavory fame are
not coming IN with any rare eompii-
ments at this time from the taxpayers
of Garfield county. 1t is true, if we
may believe recently published news
paper reports, that the state engineer
has taken all the blame in the matter
of faulty construction of piers, decar-
ing that he passed on the plans and
was responsible for the abutments
which have for some time been known
TO be unsafe. Just to what extent the
county commissioners are implicated
and to what degree the graft, in which
Mr.. Sheeley is said to be past master,
enters into the affair, the Post will not
undertake to say, although the ques-
tion is a pertinent one and has been
asked many times of late, especially
when it is known that the commission
ers forced the engineer to reduce the
piers from his original estimate. We
are taking into consideration the fact
that experts of high repute are soma-
times honestly mistaken and the fur
ther fact that the water in the Grand
river just now is unusually high. But
despite these facts the people are doing
lot of thinking on their own account
and they are asking some questions
which may prove somewhat embarras-
ing in the future.

FROM THE NUMBER of convlc-
tions of bootleggers in our neighboring
town of Marble and the manner IN
which the Marbleites handle this class
of lawbreakers, it looks as though the
town authorities have the license for
revenue plan skinned to frazzle
Where is the town the size of Marble
where the saloon licenses total in n
year the amount which Marble has col
lected in fines during the past year
After visiting Marble you won't say
that it is necessary to license crime IN
order to keep up the municipal ex'
penses nor will you be so free with
that other lie which is as old as It's
father, the Devil, that there is more
liquor used in dry town than in a
wet one. Of course, there is liquor
sold in Marble. So are other laws vio-
lated and so they are in Glenwood and
other towns, but no one with a thimble-
full of brains or shade of honesty
would ask to have the laws repealed on
that account.
