THE DAILY SENTINEL
LEE & BUNTING, - Proprietors
I. N. BUNTING, editor.
A closing one Halo in generally the
net result to a man who believes ad
vertising don't pay. It never did pay
to the man who had no faitli in it.
So far an The Sentinel is concerned
this year, it don’t want anv figurehead
I candidates, men whom it will be con
j venieut to knock down for Republican
success.
r-rr-r
Ministers of the Presbyterian
; church cannot marry divorced people,
Have where divorced on ncriptnral
grounds. This may he thu means of
L lessening the evil somewhat.
I Nothing eoems to bo doing toward
the parking of Ttli avenue. It is to be
hoped that those who worked to claim
the attention of council originally will
uot lay down now, but see that they
get the work done.
Nearly everyone lihr run against
that individual, over wise in his own
conceit. who fondlv attempts criti
cisms of others and Holdorn has a rea
son for ho doing. A well meaning in
dividual of this kind resides in this
city, who would attempt tooGtciae the
Greek poets if they lived aud beside
whose own vocabulary, that of Shake
speare was shamefully incomplete. He
I affords an immense amount of amuse
i meut to the friends that really like
| him, but who bow in sorrow at his
weakness.

Joseph Folk, the anti corruption
I attorney of Missouri, will be that
state’s next Governor. Every means
was taken by the boodle element to
undermine aud destroy Folk’s ambi
tion to become governor, but it was
unavailing. Folk is a force which
they cannot; seem to correctly estimate
and he has beaten the hoodie gang
who would have defeated his nomina
tion if possible to cover. Aud in
I speaking of Folk, he is uot an iiupos
j Bible dark horse for the Democratic
i national pesidcntial nomination. His
I record for consistency and incorrupti
bility are nuinnieachnhlo. He has done
| things aud that is the kind of a man
the people are looking for right now.
It would uot surprise ns greatly to
hear Folk’s name iu the convention.
A syndicated page of the magazine
! portion of the great metropolitan da
| alios is at hand showing the uses to
which electricity is being pnt today,
i The page is illustrated and shows
j women cooking, ironing, running a
sewing machine, turning thu crank
l on an ice cream freezer, churning
butter, propelling fans and hundred
other uses. The motive power is an
electric current taken from a day cur
rent wire. The article attached to
the illustrated puge recited the cost
i
sets forth the advantages to be enjoy
ed from the use of the electric spark
and measures its economy with other ;
methods of work. Here in Grand 1
Junction the public has been anxious- *
ly waiting the inauguration of a day
electric current. One was promised, t
the announcement made through the 1
public press, but the people are still 1
waiting. Grand Junction people are ‘
patient and are willing to wait, but
they want the means to use this power. <
The Electric lighting company say they c
cannot see their way clear to provide 1
this day current. Iu other words c
I they doi>’t feel that they shoulu be
asked to provide such current unless j
profitable on the srart. They desire c
jto take no risk increasing the use suf- '
! ficieutly to pay them for operating, j
If that is their position then they
| should not feel aggrieved iu the least t
iif an effort is made by those directly r
interested looking to the securing of j
the desired power. Grand Junction 1
c
is sufficiently large to feel the neces- G
sity of such current aud there is a de-
cided demand to investigate means to a
supply if. -• c
There are a great number of people
who never can take defeat gracefully
These generally are the ones who most
vociferously rejoice in the defeat of
others. It takes generally a pretty
high quality of manhood or woman
hood to act gracefully the role of vic
tor.
On the subject of presidential tim
ber in the Democracy, the name of
David R. Francis, the World’s Expo
sition president Ehould not be over
looked. Such executive ability and
administrative genius has seldom been j
equaled iu this country Francis is a’
man of large mold mentally. He
could not be otherwise to have direct
ed so great an enterprise’ as the great
est Exposition in the history of the
world. He has been a successful gov
vernor of a great state aud he is cer
tainly uot lacking in traintig to be- •
come the president. There may be j
more than cne surprise before # the
lines are drawn for the great political V
battle this fall.
There’ll uot be so mnch of a love
least at the Republican county con
vention this year as there has been iu
the past few years, when it met
simply to maintain the traditions of
the party. The present officeholders
have all things fixed it is true, so that
the rank and file need not worry if
they do not desire to do so, but we
think that their calculations will go
awry. It looks so much like a “pud
din” to be elected that there are
mauy aspiring deals beginning to
flourish. The “big five” will iiave
trouble in handing the "push” this
year. / Then there is a new feature
in the party this year. The ones wi.o
strayed away feel that their probation
has been quite sufficient and they
want to be heard and they want what ,
is more, to be hel]>ed. We anticipate
a mixin* time at the convention.
Potatoes have uot been generaly re
garded as a profitable producing crop
of the Grand valley, until within the
last year or more. It is a fact that
they brought fair prices for home con
sumption aud for local shipment, but
we did not aspire to become a factor
in the potatoe crop of Colorado. The
freight tariffs, however, now granted
has permitted us to send out our crop
aud it has measured more than well
with the potatoes of anv other of the
famed districts of Colorado. When
an acre of potatoes will produce a
net revenue of from forty to forty five j
dollars an acre, as they did in this ;
valley last year, they become a most
Important factor iu the crops of the
valley. Those who grew potatoes
the past two years have made money
and made it without much worry. We
are going to grow along the potato
line or we miss onr guess greatly.
A great many people in this and
other towns of the same size, talk
glibly about securing the press
franchise and using it. Of course
they know nothing about its cost
and they are to be excused for the
lack of this knowledge. This city
had an experience once with a press
franchise. At that time the city
was not so large as at present, that
is true, but the advertising in the
paper that controlled the franchise
was paid for at a rate two and a
half times greater than the highest j
rate paid per inch in this city now.
But the unthinking one will say
there was not so many advertisers.
Yes there were. The town was in
its early formative state then and
anybody and everybody advertised
to help support the paper that was
established for the sole purpose of
booming the incipient city. That
press franchise did not bust the =
town, but it made everyone who j
had anything to do with it at that !
time awfully weary, both in mind.
and pocketbook. 11 did not bust
any of the stockholders, but it
cost them heaps of agony. A fair •
sample and comparison of its cost I
can be made by saying that the dis- j
play advertising in almost anyone
of the city papers here now, does !
not exceed the actual cost of the
press tolls very much. This does!
not take into consideration the cost:
of setting it up. Grand Junction
will need a press franchise some
day and at a no distant day, but
burned fingers don’t play with fire I
and when the time conies The Sen- j
tine] will give the city what it de-1
mands. But good business judg- 1
ment would simply be greatly lack
ing for any paper to attempt to
carry such a burden now. One way
only could it l)e done. The way
some theatrical companies exist for
a short period and that is by dis
covering some good “angel.”
