THAT WOLCOTT STATUTE.
It Ip said that Senator Horace T.
Delong has prepared the draft of a
hill that he will introduce In the sen
ate of this stale, asking for an ap
propriation of SIO,OOO, for the erec
tion of a statue to the late Senator
Edward O. Wolcott, in Statuary Hall
in the capital at Washington.
To that section of the Republican
party in this state known as the “*•1:1
guard’’ the memory of Senator Ed
uard O. Wolcott Is held ns a preeio is
legacy.
That Ills memory is enshrined in
the hearts of the citizenship of the
state generally because of nay great
public service we do not believe.
hence, we consider that the prop
osition of Senator to ask the
state to cannonize the mornorr of
.Senator Wolcitt. Is far fetched r.ud is
inrgt ly for the pleasure of the re-
I fleeted glory that may come to his
ft Lowers and former adherents,
through the action proposed.
/vt no time in his life was Senator
Wolcott looked upon as a public
benefactor, whose devotion to his
state and her citizenship was in any
men* ire comparable to his intense
loyalty to the Republican party.
'I hat he was a most successful poli
tician end In his public acts and par
ticipation lu the work of the national
senate he rose at times to the dignity
of statesmanship, no one will ques
tion.
That he should be regarded, how
ever, as among the chlefest of Colo
rado’s great citizens, we do not agree
notwithstanding the Republican “old
guard” may regard our proposition
as treasonable.
Senator Wolcott was not a warrior,
a pioneer citizen who repelled hos
tile Indian tribes from our borders
for the protection of the pJoneer
citizenship of the state; no great pub
lic institutions of learning are the re
sult of his devotion to the cause of
education; no public pnrks or play
grounds for the use of the common
people, were left as a heritage through
ids acts. Unlike an hundred other
Colorndoans. whose devotion to their
state has become a household word,
we can think of no great public bene
faction of which he was the author
Wo would not, if we could, take
away from him one scintilla of cred
it in the performance of his duties, In
the splendid position he held in trust
for the people of the stato of Colo
rado. We must acknowledge a de
gree of pride In his great forensic
ability. Ills unswerving loyalty to his
political friends, his devotion to the
great corporations whose attorney he
was in the faee at times of much
public criticism. All of these are most
admirable traits In a public man. but
we cannot sec wherein the state at
large Ls called upon to spend $lO,-
000 to erect a statue to him In the
hall of Htutues in Washington.
It would be most charming indeed,
if the “old guard” <>f Republicanism,
that has been repudiated generally
by modern methods of the Republic
an party In Colorado, would contrib
ute Individually or as an organization
in providing the statue for the hall of
fame.
It may appear all right to Senator
DeLong and undoubtedly does, else
he would not be the author of the
proposition, to ask the state to do
that which those who were the bene
ficiaries of Senator Wolcott's bounties
politically, should do, yet we must
disagree with the motive.
The amount proposed to be asked
I from the state Is Insignificant, it is
a mere bagatelle. The question of
whether or not tho subject ls entitled
to this exalted recognition, is the
only question at Issue.
In the face of the many who have
by their great philanthropy, public
acts and bounty endeared themselves
to tho people os a whole, wo can
claim with all Justice because of tho
erection of great public works and
utilities, contributing to the comfort,
welfare and well being of the entire
people, tho proposal comes as a ques
tionable one, whon the stato as a
whole Is asked to he a party to its
consummation and not the principal
heneflclarioa in the Ilf© of the dis
tinguished senator.
HARDY’S JAUNDICED
COMPARISON
Certainly our good friend Hardy,
of the Canon City Record, who spent
a few days In this city a week or more
ago nnd then undertook to ninke the
people of Canon City feel good by pre
senting a very jaundiced comparison
of Grand Junction and its Interests
with Canon City, must have seen
some awfully good things in this city.
Like the little boy who whistles to
keep up his courage, he fires grape
shot at us. to keep up his courage,
over the fear that this city Is running
away from that cultured center, of
which he Is of the ultra select.
Even our newspepers nre compared
with his own nnd he congratulates the
citizens of Canon City that, they have
only one dally paper to care for nnd
that It Is equally ns good ns those
published In Grand Junction, notwith
standing he says this is a good news
paper town.
Wo don’t care to take Issue with
Mr. Hardy on the character of the
newspapers of the two cities. However
if Mr. Hardy was In the publication
business In this city, ho would think
he was going some and he would not
have time to he the elegant delle
tnnto that he Is, because ho would
have other things to think about.
The recommendation of Mr. Hardy
I that Grand JuJnction papers should
i not notice each other editorially or lo
yally, perhaps might he good advice
'in a comparatively dead town, but
; are living in a renl live community
and something is doing nil the time.
If Mr. Hardy will carefully examine
I the map of the state of Colorado, he
"ill find that Grand Junction Is desig
nated by a great big red spot. That
'spot dominates a region, beside which
the little fringe of territory sur
rounding Canon City. Is like unto a
(little cottage garden beside a quar
ter section wheat field. Things are
| building up nt a rapid rate on the
j western slope and that culture and
1 harroness ns a place of residence that
I Mr. Hardy decry a will soon be a thing
!of the past. If it has ever been true
that Grand Junction lacks anything
.along these lines or whether Mr.
Hardy was looking through green
s|H*ctacles.
Canon City is hoary in age beside 1
Grand Junction, which easily Is noth- 1
Ing If not a stripling, simply begin- <
1
nlng to know how to gird her armor
• to realize the greatness that is In
. store for her.
We do not have to wonder greatly
I how the campaign expenses of our Re
. publican friends have been secured
- so easily during the past four or flvo
. years, if Simon Guggenheim’s con
fession to the representative of Rid
geway’s magazine is to be believed.
It was smooth sailing in very many
counties of the state, to take care of
. the necessary expenses accompanying
1 a Republican campaign.
Representative Vincent of Delta
- county received a telegram from 75
• of the representative buslrfess men
I of Paonia and that portion of Delta
county, commending his position up
-1 on refusing to vote for Simon Gug-
I genheim in the caucus. No word has
. come from Senator DeLong, who also
j represents Delta county, that his ac
tion In voting in the caucus for 81-
1 raon Guggenheim, has met their
! hearty approval.
We never like to rejoice over had
. luck, but we do feel that the Tonopah
• club, that put up so many thousands
: for the Gans-Herman fight and receiv
; ed so few back, got its Just dues. If
. the fighting plug uglies want to chew
1 each other, they should be made to
do so for a reasonable purse. They
have been pampered out of all reason
• by the great purses hung up for them 1
in the past few years. A few such,
i frosts as was suffered In the receipts
of the-Gans-Herman fight will bring
fight promoters to their senses.
Among the inexplicable Industrial
problems of the city, Is the inability
to successfully operate the Grand
Junction smelter. The smelter at Sa
llda is being operated steadily and
successfully. It has never had any
very serious trouble from the very
beginning of its operation. The lo
fcal smelter has had all sorts of trou
ble from the very beginning. The
presumption was that the smelter had
been built by a practical man. at least
he claimed that he was, being at pres
ent In charge of successful smelters
elsewhere. He built It after his own
plans and model and yet, something
Is amiss other than its finances. The
latter cause has been operative
against Its being successfully conduct
ed, but money would have been ob
tainable, had the plant measured up:
to the functions for which it was
erected. The inability to successful- :
ly operate the plant has been a very
distinct loss to the industrial condi
tions of Grand Junction. How to over
come them is a problem, which we
may not even suggest how to proceed,,
because of lack of knowledge of oper
ation, Of course we understand the
opposition of the smelter trust to
independent smelting plants, but we
hardly think that the plant In this
city was sufficiently large to attract
their oplposltion. We would give
much to have the problem of Its suc
cessful operation solved. There have
been serious and earnest men engag
ed In the work of reconstruction, both
of the finances of the plant and the
plant Itself, but even under their
wise direction and earnest work,
nothing tangible has developed. Per
haps Simon could straighten out the
whole matter and this should have
been the aim of our statesmen, be
fore pledging him their support so
freely, without it was engaged other
wise before the caucus period as Si
mon says he had most of the legisla
tive hand. Anyway it may come, we
will be saUsfled and happy, if It will
only come—the plant's rejuvenation.

MILLIONS RUINED.
It is inconceivable that any person
should neglect the slightest symp
toms of defective or failing eyesight
or should submit to treatment at the
hands of any one but a SPECIALIST.
The eye is the mose delicate organ of
the whole body. It is most easily im
paired. Millions of eyes have been
iuined by improper treatment or
wrong glasses. When the eye is so
easily injured. It is passing strange
that persons will, without knowing
their requirements, purchase glasses
from peddlers. Jewelers, department
stores, or unskilled opticians.
The eyes are not mere mechanical
instruments, but are most delicate
and sensitive physiological contriv
ances, possessing many peculiarities
and disorders known only to special
ists who devote their lives to the
study of the eye and the organs In
sympathy with same. If you would
have your eyes strong and normal—!

permitted to return in the spring that
lie can solve the seepage problem of
this county. It is said that he has
the whole county mapped out giving
the depth of each kind of soil, dis
tance to water, and other figures
which will be of great benefit to the
