THE SENTINEL
I. X. BUNTING, Editor and Proprietor.
Entered at the Postofflce at Grand Junction, Colo., as Second class mattor.
We have frequently asserted that there is no responsible head to the
other publication, save and except that the “big five” may at all times
govern its utterances.
Not all the Republicans who are waiting to get a whack at the “big
five” are from Missouri, but they all desire to “show them" it matters not.
from what state they came from.”
James Barton Adams tells of a Wyoming man who refused the nomina
tion to a very important office, because ho said that ho could not be a good
Christian and a politician at the same time. Do we hear an echoing, yes
from any of the brethren?
All kinds and descriptions of men have at various times been called
to fill the editorial chair of the other publication, so that It was not sur
prising that most any old thing had been called to assume editorial control
in the present campaign.
Don’t you think tbnt J. W. Sawyer would feel greatly deserted, when
1 he sees bis two most ardent disciples. Judge Sullivan nmd Rev. J. Monroe
i Stewart, among the backslidden host, slinking after the Republican band
wagon—to get what few of the political plums with which that wagon Is
j crowded.
Judge Sullivan has not been taking any more flying trips the past few
days. His nerves were racked too hard last week by that trip to Deßeque
and return. We have been endeavoring to ascertain what frightened the
judge so greatly at Doßeqne. that he ran away from there, liko as if It was
a plague spot.
We wonder whether those gentlemen who took the pledges of Edwin
Price, Horace T. DeLong and several others that the Christian people
should have their candidate for sheriff. Mr. Covey, If they would not throw
their vote against Mr. Hoyt, believe that that pledge was kept. It was a
pretty smooth trick for the “big five" to ploy on honorable gentlemen.
A. B. Hoyt, the Republican candidate for representative, says he don’t
have to discuss the campaign issues with anyone. Mr. Hoyt must re
member that had it not been for Edwin Price, Horace T. DeLong and a few
others, sitting In counsel with some of the Pomona Park delegates, ho would
have been defeated at the convention by McDonald. Does Mr. Hoyt recol
lect that little matter.
From remote points in the county the news comes of the splendid
impression that Charles F. Schrader is making. In bis candidacv for the ol
flee of sherifT. And why shouldn’t he. Never, yes, we reiterate It never, In
the history of this county has a cleaner, purer, more conscientious man been
nominated for that very Important position than the present candidate or
the Democracy for that office—CHARLES F. SCHRADER.
The Herald seems lo be In bad odor with the Republican party. Clint
Martin, who Just purchased the Palisade Tribune was given the list of nom
inations to support the Republican ticket and the Herald got the call for
the election. The Herald always has got It at that point where “Mary
wore her beads," since It announced itself as a Republican paper. It prob
ably always will get It there, so long as the “big five” Is in control.
If Eugene V. Debs could only know the subjects of somo of the
speeches and sermons that were made by Mr. J. Monroe Stewart, when
he was a hot persimmon In the socialist bunch, he would wonder Indeed,
why he Is now found in the Republican ranks. A man who can select sub
jects of the length the sonorousness of the late Rev. now Mr. Monroe Stew
art, Is worthy of a better fate than to be sitting in probation In the local
Republican party.
Judge Sullivan Is not to sit on the platform tonight at the Eugen>
V’. Debs meeting. This fact we found out late this evening and to be fair to
the Judge we publish the truth about the matter, to set at rest the rumors
current today that he was to do so. Perhaps he would like to be among
those who will sit with the distinguished labor orator, but he dare not do so.
In fact such a thing Is not to be thought of. We don’t know whether Judge
Sullivan asked permission of the "big five’’ to do so and was refused or not,
but we can say officially that he will not grace this evenings meeting by sit
ting on the platform.
Just one question to the fair minded Republicans of this county. To
whom do you believe that Reuben Starr, John J. Cottrell, Geo. J. D.
Williams, Mrs. Breeze and N. N. Smith, believe that they owe their nomina
tions. Is it to the rank nnd flic of the party, who attended the Republican
convention In good fulth, hoping to have a hand in the deliberations of that
convention? Or do you think It Is to the “big five” of Grand Junction that
for years has dominated every county convention that the Republican party
has had In Mesa county. It is hardly necessary to ask you that question '
You know as well or better than anyone else. But we want you to think
over the matter. | 1
Inquiries, we might snay by the bushel, if that would he the proper
standard of measurement, come to this office regarding the identity of the
"big five.” The Sentinel several times before hns given the list, but to
whet the appetites of those who don’t, know, we will say that the “big
Joss" of that mystical organization Is Judge Charlie Caswell. Now the
lessser lights we shall not name, save three of them: They are Bryson
Blair, of Montrose, formerly of this county and now claiming citizenship
here; Senator DeLong and Edwin Price. There art.* two others, they
= are the "big thing" you had better believe. Why? Because one of rhem
holds the coin bag and the other, well that's telling.
HE IS A BUILDER.
Thero never was a better opportunity than right now for the people
of this county to pay back some of the debt that It owes to one of the pio
neer citizens—Frank Burger, candidate for county commissioner.
It Is no more than justice that the Democratic party should have
representation upon that hoard. Every good citizen will recognize the
truth of the contention.
But It Is not upon that premise that wo would urge that Frank Burger
be elected to fill that important position. The recommendation that we
would urge Is his splendid fitness for the office.
He has been a builder.
He hns never lost faith in the county and Us future.
His money Is all invested here and It certainly Is placing the control of
the affairs in the hands of the right kind of a man, when we elect those
whose whole being is wrapped up in the future of the county.
Let us give thnt honor once to a man whose career In the county makes
him especially deserving of It.
This paper has always stated that, wo are for the men that have done
something for the city or county. We would work nnd cast our vote for a
man whom we did not personally like. If we knew he was un honorable man
and been devoted to the upbuilding of this section.
Me must acknowledge that the splendid position as a great, yea greatest
fruit growing section in all America, the Palisade district, is largely due to
the personal effoits of Frank Burger.
We have no word to sny ugalnst the opponent of Mr. Burger, but he is
one of those who have benefit ted by Mr. Burger's pioneea ship, to a certain
extent. He has not that claim upon the people that Mr. Burger should
rightfully have.
The position to a large extent is an honorary one. The time that Mr.
Burger will give to the Interests or the county, could be spent by him in
more lucrative ways, but Mr. Burger is willing to give of his time, which
he now commands more than he did at one time, for the benefit of the
whole people.
Let us say one more word for Frank Burger. He la not a aelflsh man.
There Is a world of grace In not being aelflsh. He wants to lead others to
] succ-js —has led others to success,
made It possible for others to have
succesp.
Remember that he Is not selfish. He
may not just suit you altogether In
his personality, but wo know that
even if you were an enemy, he would
treat you fairly.
For what Frank Burger has done
for Palisade, for what he incidentally
has done for the upbuilding of this
city, he is deserving of one of the
greatest votes ever given a man in
this county. •
WAIN BUCKLIN’S CANDIDACY.
There Is no quality in tile makeup
of an individual quite so admirable*—
as honesty. If a man is honest he is
cr<*ditahle. That is the doctrine that
lias been taught every school boy,
since we had a common country.
Andrew Jackson was a gruff indi
vidual, lie had little time to play at
being pleasant, his was a stem life,
but beneath his isfbgh exterior there
wus the softness of heart of a woman.
He was sentimental, gallant and
brave. Did anyone deny the great
ability, of Andrew aJckson and hold
it against him, because he happened
to be a little gruff.
The only criticism we have heard
of the candidacy of Alvin Hucklin, so
far in this cani|»aigii is that he is
brusque und somewhat gruff.
Not one word have we heard ques
tioning his honesty.
Not one word against his splendid
ability to perform the duties of the
office to which he aspires.
Not one word against Ills integrity.
Not one word against his executive
capacity In business.
Not one word that would presumeJ
to compare his rapacity to fulfill the]
duties of that oflice, with that of his
opponent*
Rut. lie is brusque in Ids manner,
said the critic.
Well so has been many another
man, great in the counsels of the na
tion.
We don’t acknowledge that the ac
cusation is true. We never found
him so. We like a quick spoken man.
We Lik<> a iiuiii who does not hem and
haw übout some little question put
to him for answer, without going
home and asking his wife, his daddy
and mother and all the relative!* be
fore giving you un answer. We like,
admire in fact, a num whom you can
find to give an opinion ui>on tilings
, and back up his opinion l>y well di
rect cd argument.
You morn than often find that
kind of man one that you can tie to
in t line of distress.
A. X. Hucklin is a director in a
number of institutions in UdS city,
requiring acute finAiieial sagacity, ask
his colleagues if he is not as square
as n rule can make him.
It really (loni make one a little
tired sometimes to hear some petty
objection made to a man. who real
ly is a man*. The liest judges of fiu
muii nature in the world an* women—
('utter’s old physiology saying, that
the ration of their intuition to that of
man is about as nine to one, and you
won’t find one woman in a thousand
who would give a frayed feather from
her bonnet for a milk atul water indi
vidual.
Don't let Mr. Hut'klin’s brusque
uchh worry you.. He Is the most ap
proachable mini in the whole com
munity. . He actually blushes when
approached by women. . Nor is this a
new characteristic for a man of parts.
They ail blush, it Is a hopeful sign
that they can blush.
On the other hand you can find a
thousand dilletantes who can ap
proach a woman as if they were the
sole lords of creation and that a
woman should feel entirelly confused
at tholr approach. who are not
worth the powder to liblow them up.
No! No! Don’t le tus get fright
ened by a candidate who Is a real
man. Let us have some one lu the
office of clerk and recorder who
can answer about all the questions
that will be asked of him, without
referring to some guide book.
We’ll stand sponsor for Mr. Buek
lin ’s brusqucnesß leaving him. it
youelect him to this most importunt
office, which wo know you will.
A candidate whom the public can
find to have no greater objection than
has boon offered against Mr. Fluck
lin. and thnt point being one raised
only with a few, the friends of Mr.
Hucklin not recognizing him in the
role of being a brusque Individual,
we think that it should be a recom
mendation than otherwise.
A Common Affliction
Weak sight or weak eyes, is the
most common afillcflnn thnt induces
people to seek the aid of glasses. Tts
symptoms or WARNINGS ore Inabil
ity to use the eyes for any length of
time without pain, watering, smart
ing, headache, neuralgia. Insomnia,
stomach trouble, etc. It. is due to
weakness of the nerves and muscles
of accommodation. When nature
sends such plain warnings it is hard
to understand how people will be.so
stupid to neglect their eyes continu
ally till they are forced by pain to[
see an eye doctor. If you are wise
you will take the first hints your eyes
give you regarding their weak con
dition, and consult a specialist and
save future trouble. The best Is
