MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP DE-
FEATED.

Next to Denver, Grand Junction has
had more political agitation than any
other city in the state, owing largely
to the presence in that city of many
voters with socialistic tendencies. A
Socialist mayor has held office for
several years because of his acci-
dental election on third-choice votes
Advocates of municipal ownership,
however, have been the most pro-
nounced and all kinds of schemes
have been proposed in that city, from
municipal ownership of the fair
grounds to operation of the street
railway system. The wet and dry
question also has been big issue,
efforts being made to put the city
back into the wet column.
Grand Junction has lived practical
ly upon diet of political agitation,
but the people have grown tired of
this brand of pabulum. On Tuesday
the agitators were given a decisive
defeat by the voters and the city is
likely to have peace for consider
able period. Every municipal owner
ship proposition was defeated; and
the vets were routed. Some good
measures lost, undoubtedly because
the people were suspicious of the agi-
tators who backed them. Too much
political agitation gets to be intol-
cradle and reaction follows. Grand
Junction has finally recovered its po-
litical equilibrium. = Pueblo Star

tinued, che has issued the most in
famous mandates calculated to protect
the offenders against the law and to
humiliate the officers endeavoring to

"All Montana knows he is a dis
grace to the bench and to the legal

he is as useful as a brass knocker
on a hen house door. He encumbers
the bench in a district where there
are two district judges and not enough
court business to keep one Judge busy
half the time. If ever the women OF
Montana get the ballot that fellow

Commissioner Kennedy was speak
