The first issue of the Weld County News, under the able and versatile editorship of Edward I). Foster, has readied tills office. Editorially it is up to the Foster standard. The Her ald welcomes “•Penny-Ante" back to tlie craft and wishes the News and its publishers all manner of journal istic success. Even if J’edd.v don’t emerge from tlie jungles with another mammoth river to put on the map, he will, at least, come back witli tlie fully con cluJed decision that the only one who is capable of holding down tlie presi dential chair is Theodore Roosevelt. Speaking in advocacy of prepared ness, a leading eastern paper observes that bluff too long lias been the American national game. In the matter of national defense, four aces, so to speak, is better than four duces. The movement to tender the Dem ocratic gubernatorial nomination to Judge Samuel N. Wheeler of Grand Junction, is spreading all over tlie state. Viewed from every angle, we see In Judge Wheeler a winner. According to statements of some of tlie “Stand patters" we must be worse off than the Belgians, when it comes to having our government run over, insulted and even wiped out of exist ence. Are you satisfied witli yourself? Are you just the kind of a person you would like to b«\ ami feel that you ought to be, and can be? JESUS CHRIST SAID “Come unto Me all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, and LEARN OF ME,and ye shall find rest. COME TO THE Preaching Mission AT St. James’ Church EVERY NIGHT March 19th to 26th. at 7:30 o’clock. No Collection, Good Music. JESUS CHRIST SAID "What will it profit a man if lie gain the whole world and lose bis own soul?” —that is: if heflfcse iiis true life? It is easy to figure that out. Your true life is your spirit ual life. What are you doing for it and with it? COME TO THE MISSION. Patriotism. A nation is made great, not by its fruitful acres, but by the men who cultivate them; not by its great for ests, but by the men who use them: not by its mines, but by the men who work in them; not by Its railways, but by the men who build and run them. America was a great land when Columbus discovered it; Amer icans have made of it a great nation. In 1770 our fathers had a vision of a new Nation “conceived in liberty and dedicated to tlie proposition that, all men are created equal." Without an army they fought the greatest of ex isting world empires that they might realize this vision. A third of a cen tury later, without a navy they fought the greatest navy in tlie world that they might win for their Nation the freedom of the seas. Half a century later they fought through an unpar allelled Civil War that they might establish for all time on this conti nent the inaleinable right of life, lib erty, and the pursuit of happiness. A third of a century later they fought to emancipate an oppressed neighbor, and, victory won, gave back Cuba to the Cubans, sent an army of school masters to educate for liberty the Fil ipinos, asked no war indemnity from their vanquished enemy, but paid him liberally for his property. Meanwhile they offered land freely to any farmer who would live upon and cultivate it. opened to foreign immigrants on equal terms the door of industrial op portunity, shared with them political "If the G. <). I*, was in power it w'oiildn't lie running us into difficul ties,” says a Republican states man (?). Quite right. We would be there. The Wamsutter Branch. Last issue of tlie Moffat County Courier publishes a map of that coun ty showing tiie route of tlie Union Pacific branch line from Wamsutter to Meeker ami incidentally showing Craig as tlie center of half a dozen railroad lines. 1 1 doesn’t, seem to be officially announced that tlie IJ. P. will build south from Wamsutter, coining summer, but all indications point to that end. Somebody's overlooking a bet — Jean Crones hasn’t been arrested in Meeker yet.—Golden Transcript. Say, Neil, we don’t allow such fel lows as Crones within our gates. (till Sunday held another great separation sale recently in Trenton, New Jersey.

It may live long after tlie speaker is cold and silent in the grave. A truth, that is a breacli of truth, is a lie dressed in the garb of truth. J equality, and provided by universal ' taxation for universal education. The cynic who can see in tills his , tory only a theme for iiis egotistical satire is no true American, whatever liis parentage, whatever his birth place. He wiio looks with pride upon ttiis history which liis fattiers have written by their heroic deeds, who accepts witli gratitude the inheritance which they have bequeathed to liiin. and who highly resolves to preserve tills inheritance unimpaired and to pass it on to his descendentsenlarged ami enriched is a true American, be liis birthplace or his parentage what it may.—Lyman Abbott.

We also wish to show our appreciation of tlie services of tiie Yeomen and the beautiful floral of ferings. Mu. Riknau and Sons. Mk. and Mrs. Bkndkk. Notice to Water Users.
