WHY NOT ABOLISH PANICS?
There in a superstition that panics !
like death are evils that are bound to I
occur. Fiuaeial writers show with
much circumstantiality that they iiave
revolved in unvarying cycles in the 1
past aud therefore certain as the seas
ons must recur in the fntua.
The past should be mainly valuable
a* a guide to the future. We are not j
hound to follow its mistakes. Because
panics have happened about so often
I in times gone is no valid reason that 1
they are a fixed law of nature.
Bather let us seek out the true rea I
j son from the alleged phenomenon, and i
! when wo have found it apply a com- j
I mou-sense remedy that is usually
! effective in dispelling ghosts.
Panics usually come at the apex of
prosperity not when war, famine, flood
and drouth desolate the land. It is I
seen from this that they are not sprung
! from the womb of misfortune, but are
I the outgrowth of man’s cupidity or j
| fatuous tolly. Therefore,s it is with- 1
iu man’s power to rectify the self-in- i
dieted evil.
| A financial system must bo lnherent
j ly wrong where it. is possible for the |
, circulating medium of the nation to be j
“cornered.” A hanking system
whereby, banks tumble like houses of
I cards at the approach of a few scared
{depositor* musjt, ho pitifully inade-I
fluate. Tlioro is whore the country
most needs strengthening, for while
overspeculation may be difficult to con
trol. the safety ot the people's depos
its should be easily made subject to
safe aud sure governmental regulations
and there can bo erected no stronger
bulwark against panics than the confi
dence of all the peonle.
It follows that the government, not
uncertain individuals, should stand
j sponsor for the safety of the deposito
; rios ot the country. The need of an
j “elastic currency” that we hear so
much about might also be solved wen*
the general government iu a position
to place in circulation its immense
reserve wiieu occasion demanded iu- !
stead of leaving tho finaucer to the '
tender mercies of a robber ring armed j
with the invincible power of expand- ’
iug aud contracting the circulating
mediums with the facility that the j
moon moves the tides.
Lack of confidence is the intangible ]
quality whence spring panics; there- |
foro why not set confidence on a base
as strong as the government itself?
When this is done panics will be j
banished and toon forgotten in the
march of time.
Carter Harrisou has an article in '
the current number of the Saturdav j
Evening Post headed ‘ ‘Four-Flushing’ ’
It did not refer to Mr candidacy for
president though the title might indi
cate it.
The snowfall in the mountains, up
to date, is said to be the sparsest since
j 1871. Colorado winters have a*way of
| coming iu strong at the finish, how
ever, so fears for the fleecy are as yet
' somewhat premature.

Denver is becoming quite inellectu
al. aud now boasts a poet-burglar or a
Imglar-poet, whichever looks best
His consort committed suicide the oth
er day. Although no specific charge
has been filed that the poetry was re
sponsible for it.
Colorado seems to be long on vice- |
presidential possibilities. Alva Adams
is being mentioned by the democrats
aud John W. Springer and Governor
Peabody by the republicans. Well,
there is somethiug iu being mentioned
in connection with bucli a dignified
( office, even if it goes no farther.
Including Roosevelt, five vice-presi
dents have beeu elevated to the presi
deoy to fill out unexpired terms. Not
I one of the number, however, has thus
far succeeded to the chief place at the
| end of his term. If Theodore Roosevelt
is elected pesidont. uex t fail h e will
have explodod another precedent.
W. H. Crawford who has been in
Denver for the past two weeks has re
turned home.

If Solomon Came to
Grand Junction.
If he did. he would find this au en- i
! joyable locality of enterprise, peanut
politicians, petty femininitv and pro- |
( liibitive ordinances. He would find
j midnight chasing, ambitious gamblers'
i struggling for cold-storage distinction,
truancy laws, measures abolishing i
! promiscuous expectoration, girls dis
' couragiug miscellaneous flirtations, as ;
I they are past-masters iu choice —and |
many other things he knew lfttle of
in Jerusalem, among which would he
mentioned unparalleled fruit orchards,
j unsurpassed climatic conditions, uu- i
analyzed water and some uuhiudered
i grafters. Solomon, being wise would
j meet mauy wiser ones, aud let it go
'at that for iu this pushitivo age he
' kuoweth not that the reporter is run
ning ad libitum and ad libclem in the
i laud aud makctli the Wise man feel .
: that he is but the shadow of an atom.
; He would striketh the girl billcollect
-lor aud give up his “ gold of Ophir,” |
I like unto a royal pluuger on a race
course. He would bnmnouski to a
uion. oily young gnzaboo with a lot of
j tty-paper propositions about au oil
.well out iu some sunny spot where 1
; the sticky prospectus would warm up.
1 and he would drop a few talvuts on it
lin order to encourage the promoter, {
for verily he is a wise one who favors ■
: his way with shekels aud millinery !
aud papereth his house with wildcat
mining stock.
He would encounter that qniutess- j
once of affability, the grafter,Jand
give up several from his ‘■trong box
for somethiug that, had a string to it
j and the hazy uncertainty of final liq- i
uidation on ihe installment plan, for I
1 verily, the Queen of Sheba knew !
naught of thesedeep intrigues which j
j innocently shatter the wisdom appar- j
I atus of thewiso one.
i He would pause reflectively, spit on !
| the asphalt, and be pinched by the city
marshal, fined five dollars, and some
sad-eyed maiden would sell him a
few chauces on a crazy quilt while
he was recovering, for the wise man
kuoweth not when he is it, and has to
have it diagrammed to him. He
would lay down on the crass in the
park to think if over, aud be vagged
by a policeman if he didn’t get busy,
and if ho made erratic sidesteps or
happy lamps at tlie aubnrn haired na
j tive he'd be nailed to the cross for J
I breach of promise, for now, I say uu- j
to you, Solomon was never up against
a leap year buuch. Aud having duck
ed aud made a get. away he batteth
onto a loyal subject who wisheth to
appraise his property, but as it is
mostly millinery, he passeth the
; challenge, and the commissioner put
! tefch him on the rockpile to work orr
his poll tax. Yea he slippoth up on
; manv troubles, aud bounceth back.
And in the evening he eommitteth !
the divini aud exquisite folly of at
j tending a card party where they play
■ the progressive slmrpery for some lit
tle china dingbat, but knowoug that
the paraphernalia of the gambler hath
J gone up in smoke, lie waxeth leary i
| aud waiteth for another raid, but it ;
i cometh not. aud he woudeioth no long- j
er that conviction only naileth the I
j uninitiated. But he stayeth out of the
; game after he trumpeth his partner’s •
! trick aud eausetli her much wrath, j
and endeavoreth to delightfully sit it i
out alone, which is not to It is liking so
several pretty girls gathcreth about
him aud lie is right iu his element,
and he telletli them a fairy tale of
Jerusalem being a suburb to his pal
ace. aud the damsels anticipate aud
strive for a catch, and they ask him
! if he had ever thought abont getting
married, and lie saifli innocently, lie
had uot. that he had been too busy
getting married to stop to think about
it and when thov ohililv asketli him
why he didn’t bring his wife along,
he replieth. "which one?” And
they throw him out, try liim for big
amy. trigamy aud matrimonial geom
etry. all of which passeth his under
standing.
And he starteth home, kicketh [a
| dog off the sidewalk and the owner
smiteth him in the eyebrow and has
him trimmed for assault aud battery.
He getteth run over by a motorcycle,
limpeth home aud tryetli to blow out
the electric light after a search for
the word streuuous.
But being a wise man he beeometh a
good fellow, iavesteth iu a ranch and
oxalteth himself to the dignity of a
laud-mark, and he gettetii wiser as he
growefch familiar with the system ; he
beeometh Tpeacefcl. for he hath not
heard of Sherman Bell and he likefch
the place. And it comes to pass that
he mindeth uot the long drawn-out
whistles and other public nuisances,
hut. he kicketh like au old timer for
an electric day current, aud promoteth
an electric street railway, and sendeth
his emisarics to sell stock to the poten
tates. while he sits and awaiteth the
formal call of another queen, and
amuseth the citizens greatly and pu z
zleth them by propounding in
his great wisdom.
Why is a picee of laud aud how
loug?

Mrs. Youugblood to the gal

Their Attorneys will en
deavor to secure a new trial
by appealing to higher court.
Not Responsible,
There is. a certain confectioner ?
shop at St. Moritz, Switzerland,
which all the notabilities during the
season aro in tne habit of visiting
about 4 o’clock in the afternoon. Last
summer Mme. Nordica went there
one afternoon and when the coffee for
her party was unreasonably delayed
she set out to investigate the cause.
To a man in front of the counter,
where everyone helps himself to the
kind of pastry he wants, she said in
German: “Why don’t you bring our
coffee? I am worn out with waiting.”
“Madame,” came the reply, in the
suavest of French, “I would be very
glad if I could, but I have nothing to
do with the place.” He was a Rus
sian count and in the course of
things was presented later.
Will Meat Be High?
John F. Hobbs, enitor of the Na
tional Provisjoner of New York, is of.
the opinion that meat will be at a
high mark for some time. The colonel
bases his idea on the fact of a short
age of meat-producing animals as
compared with the rapidly increasing
population.

"The beautiful” lias fallen to the

with indications at this writing that

fore morning.

Cutting Down Expenses.
There being a famine in the land
and taxes very high, the king sent for
his treasurer and said: *
“Ben All, you old robber, are the
people doing much kicking over the
hard times?”
“They do nothing but kick, y%ur
1 highness,” was the reply.
"They seem dissatisfied, do they?’'
“I never saw the beat.”
“And it will be very hard to collect
the taxes?”
“Very hard. Most of the people
liave eaten up tbeir corn and are
j living on roots.”
j “I sympathize with them, Ben All,
you fraud from way back, and I w#nt
them to know that economy is mv
watchword. You can issue a proc
lamation that I was going to erect a
million-dollar palace this year, but in
1 order not to add to the distress of my
people, I shall content myself with a
. sl6 horse pond. That's all ,old ma*
and now you hustle along another car
! go of champagne from Paris.”
j Moral: A king who canlt. work a
racket now and then Is not lit to gov
era. *
