Who invented the boob? What II q

stepping across life's stage for an in
slant, to be lost In the distant wings

When you call . man a boob. you
seem to imply in some way that you do
not utterly despise him. There is q
comradeship, an intimacy. about the
word that doesn't apply to other terms.
You can call q man q boob. for In

ass or q fool.
And yet . boob is an outcast. He
stands apart from the common run.
He IL = combination Of stupidity and
utter incongruity with any standards
which are entitled to our respect.
But is the boob in reality all this?
Can it be said. indeed, that the boob
exists? Is he not more or less mental
condition on the part of the person
who calls him a boob? When, for In
stance, you speak of a man as boob.
you are really not defining him. You
are only telling what you think about
him.
That II the reason why We are Of
the opinion that the word boob will

LANE COMING
SAYS HIS AIDE
Private Secretary Says Plans
for Itinerary Include
Grand Junction.

Hon. Franklin X. Lane. secretary
Of the interior, is coming TO Grand
Junction II no further changes in his
plans are made. This information
was received by The Sentinel this
morning in n telegram from Herbert
a. Meyers, private secretary to the
cabinet officer.
The secretary is now in the yell
lowstone park; but his recent indis-
position caused him to cancel several
engagements in the west and de-
manded some radical departures from
his early itinerary.
The route of the secretary is still
;co indefinite to give an approximate
date, but II is believed that he will
adhere as closely as possible to his
original date of September s.
The Water Users Association. who
are to have charge of the entertain
ment of Secretary Lane during his
stay here. will allow him to decide
whether or not an elaborate recep-
tion shall be rendered him. In any
event the head of the interior de
partment will be shown through the
High Line workings and over por-
tion of the land proposed to be irri-
gated by the project.

FROM ATTACK
Efforts Of Denver Man to Shift
Route Met With Hot Cam
pdign From the Trail.

The offices of the Midland Trail
association this morning received
from President Edward J Yetter OF
Denver chamber OF commerce a let
ter advising of the efforts to be made
by W. l. Newcomb to shift the Mid
land Trail route away from Grand
Junction.
While Mr.. Yetter takes the efforts
of Mr.. Newcomb seriously and every
effort will be made by the advisory
board OF the association to convince
Denver OF the fatility OF routing the
road other than through Grand juno
zion and Utah.
Secretary Antics is out of the city
but in his absence the matter Is re-
ceiying the attention 1t merits.
Newcomb is the accredited repre-
sentative OF the Denver chamber OF
commerce, but was unfortunately suf-
fering from acute indigestion while
travelling with the Indiana party and
he failed to get the spirit OF good
cheer that permeated that body OF
good fellows.

The formal charge against the de-
PENDANTS is betrayal OF military Sc
