WHO KILLED COCK RoeiN7

Some enthusiastic friends of Mr.
Bryan have been giving him the credit
of making Woodrow Wilson president
AS matter of fact Theodore Roose-
welt is the man who made Mr.. Wilson
president. Mr. Bryan tried several
different campaigns to make himself
president and failed each time. Mr.
Wilson's vote did not show a particle
of improvement over that of Mr.. Bry-
an. Shortly after election day in No
vember, two Delta Judges met in the
postoffice in Delta. Judge Dickerson
said to Judge Stewart: How can we
even repay him." Judge Stewart said
TO Judge Dickerson. I'VE can never
repay him!" Did they refer to Mr..
! Bryan? Not on your chestnut tree!
They referred to Mr.. Roosevelt He
was the man these two democrats felt
they never. no never could repay.
and practically every Democrat in the
land felt just as these two Delta

president of the United States. Per-
sonally The Independent would rather
have seen Mr.. Bryan president than
Mr.. Wilson, or than any other Demo.
crat of this time. He had gradually
/ fitted himself by practice. education
and craftsmanship to better fill that
position than any of them. At this
time we would have preferred to have
chanced a tough old codger like Bryan
than political tenderfoot like VIII

1t doesn't seem safe for the medica.
fraternity to elect or have elected, one
of it's members to the Legislature. DR..
Kennedy has introduced into the house
measure providing for fine and i'm
prisonment for operating for appendi-
'citis except in absolute necessary
cases. -.f:er any operation the ap-
pendix must be shown and If in its
Testimony it can prove that it was
healthy and not at all to blame for the
spell of stomachache which prompted
ITS removal, the physician operating
will be subject to pay fine OF $500
and perhaps go to Jail besides. The
bill has been prompted, it is said. by
the assertion that 80 per cent of the
operations for appendicitis have been
delared to have been unnecessary.

There is one thing the time is now
more ripe for than ever before. and
that is a sugar factory for Delta We
mention Delta because Delta is the
logical location for such a factory. oc-

large beet growing territory. with
railroad branches extending through
nearly all of it, and with abundance
of water, fuel and all other things

have plenty of beet land to support a
Slope fields have become too much
for the one factory at Grand juno
tion. The northern beet section of
the state has a factory every few
miles. Delta has been pleading for a
sugar factory for the past five years
During all that time her section has
produced the bulk of the beets to
run the Grand Junction factory. The
answer has always been: Not enough
beets for two factories" That can
no longer be said and there is little
question but that another sugar fac
tory will be built within year or two.
There is no reason why 1t should not
be done this year. Montrose people
are working hard now to secure that
factory. AS against the claims of Del

All things point to a checking up of
trusts and readjustment of money

until as nearly a satisfactory condi-
ton as possible can be brought about
in such matters. Independent has al
ways held that no person or combina.
ton of persons should be allowed to
control any business or branch of
business to the extent of accommodating
hundreds of millions of dollars. There
can be no objection to men joining to-
Sether to do things. legitimately. and
they should make a reasonable profit;
but. when they attempt to do it all. it
is in restraint of trade, and the check
rein should be drawn sufficiently tight
to confine their operations to legitim-
ate channels.
