Gov. Buchtkl has outraged de
cency in the matter of the old s<• 1-
diers. Note the ha* e with which

Some more idiots passed in
their chips this week by the auto
mobile route. Unfortunately one
man was killed who had nothing
to do with one of the machini s
He was run over by the chief of
police in Denver.
YVk feel like again calling atten
tion to the fact that Theodore
Roosevelt is more rapidly than
ever lining up the republican nom
ination for president In spite o!
all this Taft nonsense, in spite of
all his statements that he will not
be it, the President is going to
be re nominated.
“What constitutes a day's
work?" We figure it out that it
depends altogether on occupation,
says the Chapman Advance. If
you lay brick it takes eight hours;
if you keep house, sixteen hours;
if you preach the gospel, two|
hours; if you are a porter on a'
sleeping car, twenty hour*;j
if you serve the government, one
hour; and if you are a newspaper
man, twenty four hours.
There is a good deal of hot air
indulged in by republican polif j
cians and republican newspapers,
about the unanimous election of I
Governor Butchtcl as a delegate
by the recent Methodist confer
encc at Grand Junction. We have
it directly from an eye witness
that on the first ballot, when tour
delegates were to be selected, that
the esteemed governor was two
votes behind the fourth man hut
only three had majorities that
entitled them to election. During
the night he pulled every polinc- l
and church wire that could be laid
hold of. The recalcitrant preach
ers were hauled from their beds
and lectured on the danger to the
Denver University, etc, and the
next day he succeeded in winning
by two votes. These are straight
facts.— Gunnison News.
PRECEDENT ESTABLISHED.
From year to year the Western
SI me paper* have been called up
on t" furnish gratuitous, column
titer column o' advertising for the
slate lair and the various Western
Slope lairs, with the request for
tree came a compli
nu ntir'v tick, t lor ihe editor and
his lady to the lair. Not one in
ten editors took advantage of the
state tair complimentary or more
than one Western Slope fair out
side his home town. This year,
Delta, Grand Junction and Hotch
kiss have establish, d a precedent
for paying the cash for their ad
vertising and it has been a mighty
good investment, besides it will
require other fairs in the future
to pay for advertising if they get
any. If newspaper advertising
pays for any business it pays good
returns to a fair association, and
so far as the Laborer is concerned
it cut out the state fair press no
tices when the present owner
came into possession of the paper.
The state makes an appropriation
each year to defray the expenses
of the state fair; each county
makes an appropriation to gather
its exhibit; in former days all
boosting bills for the state fair
were paid in cash except the
country newspaper man, who had
worked to in crest his home peo
ple in preparing the exhibit, com
mended his county commissioners
for making the appropriation, and
took for his pay a complimentary
ticket which he was not able to
use. We believe the 'tate fair is
a great institution and should be
patronized very liberally, but at
the same time we believe that its
expense account should include
newspaperadvertising. —Delta La

RATE REGULATION IN CANADA.
In Canada the railroad compa
nies are not permitted to change
their rates without consent of the
Railroad Commission. In many
respects it would seem as if this
law was a very just one, as it pre
vents any serious change of rates
being put into effect without due
hearing being given the interested
parties. The idea of conferring
similar powers on the Interstate
Commerce Commission where in
terstate rates are involved, might
be productive ol excellent results
—The Timberman, Portland Ore
gon.
THEIR NERVE IS ALL RIGHT.
The following we clip from the
Liverpool Mercury. They evi
dently secured it from l Japanese
paper and it shows how really be
ligerent the little brown niggers
are:
The Island Kmpirc possesses a
powerful army and navy with
which she has defeated Russia
both on land and sea, and is al
ways ready to respond to ?ny
challenge. Kven though all the
American squadrons should be
brought to the Pacific, Japan
would not be in the least dis
turbed.—"Mainichi,” Osaka.
At Lake City there seems to
be a man who needs killing badly.
Our readers will remember that
on the eve of election last spring,
one Kinsey shot and dangerously
wounded Dr. Cummings, Mayor
elect. After some trouble he
was apprehended and placed in
jail. A week ago Sunday he was
furnished a revolver an i a bottle
of whiskey and soon created so
much disturbance that the
jader, Joe Hunt, went in to quiet
him. Kinsey got action with the
revolver and lodged a bullet in
Hunt's thigh. Hunt was sent to
Salida, Monday and the bullet re
moved and he is now on the way
to recovery. It seems sure that
Kinsey will get a long sentence
for his crimes but how long will
it be till the gang of old women
called a board of pardons, will
let him out again?
While the editor was away the
esteemed Booster seized the op
portunity to say something about
our editorial policy. One item wa
in relation to our criticising ih.
governer tor his pardoning a
queen of the demi-monde Ir-.m
Colorado City. This case the
Booster saw fit to change to a
man front Canon City. As is usual
with Bro. Oliver he is very super
filial in his reading. His comment
has nothing to do with the case
we mentioned even if he does try
to make the case the same Our
remarks were addressed to a case
in which there was not even sem
blance of an excuse His next
t.ouble was occasioned by our
commenting on the bond of fra
ternity existing between our good
Christian governor and the saloon
keepers and gamblers. The
Booster affects to believe that we
are very much the advocate of the
saloon keepers. Quite the contrary
is the fact. We favor license be
cause experience has proven that
it is the best way to handle the
business. We tavor compelling
them to obey the law. Gov. Buch
tel believes in letting them violate
it with impunity. There is a con
sistency in denouncing wrong
even when your own church or
party does the wrong, but the
Booster has not as yet acquired
that variety of consistency.
The assassination of a section
man near Crested Butte this week
by a couple of boys is a specimen
of depravity seldom observed
anywhere. The boys, aged 14 and
17 respectively, applied to the
section men for something to eat
and were sent to the car some
distance away. Here they tound a
shot gun belonging to the men
and this weaponw as appropriated
and used in killing one of their
benefactors and seriously wound
ing the other. The entire motive
was robbery and we can see no
reason why such moral preverts
should not be exterminated lest
they grow up and propagate more
of their kind Jesse Beezley, of
this place was so close to the
scene as t hear the shots.
Clearly the signs of the times
point to reform For the first time
in the history of th- state Tax
Agent Freeman, ot the Santa Fe
has been called before the State
Board of Equalization to make
explanation ot why he lied in his
affidavit of valuation made to that
body. It must give the average
grafter cold chills when Freeman
is yanked before the State Board
and asked impudent questions
'like that.
We notice that many of the
hide bound republican papers are
taking up tiie howl about Okla
holm adopting the initiative and
referendum as a psrt of its consti
tution. It might be wtll for these
papers to read up and see if they
can find anything in it to criticise.
It is merely getting closer to the
people, tn-ik ng true the boast that
we are governed by the people.
What is tin re to complain of?
The late decision of the U. S.
circuit court indicates that Stand
ard Oil uill have to pay that
t'19,000,000 fine before Judge
Landis die- Under this decision
not only the present law is good
but the court holds the Elkins
act providi g for criminal pro

CARD SYSTEM MUST GO.
Cripple Creek Postmaster Declares Both
Sides Have Had Enough of the un-
American Fight.
"Cripple Creek will either have
to abolish the card system or go
out of business The men are
leaving the district at the rate ot
from four to ten a day and no one
is coming in to take their places.
While the district ought to work
3,000 men, there are less than 900
at work in the entire district to
day and they will get out as soon
as possible.
The strike is over and there is
no reason on earth why the card
sysfem should be retained. It has
always been a detriment to our
camp and always will be. There
are fifty-four empty stole rooms
within a space of five blocks on
our mam streets. Think of that
for the greatest gold camp on
earth, and it will show you the
foolishness of continuing the sys
tem longer.
“For my part I want to give it
up and give the Western Feder
ation a show and I believe they'll
do the right thing. I think both
sides have had enough of this un
fair and un-American fight. Both
sides did wrong and both sides
have suffered irreparable loss.
"I think it will only be a short
time before the system is abolished
and the district will be on the
open shop plan. You know the
Western Federation has adopted
the open-shop plan and 1 think
the card system should be com
pletely abolished by the other
side. If it isn’t wc might as well
move out and say good bye to the
district."

HOTCHKISS, COLORADO,
OCTOBER 2, 3 & A.
TO THE AFFLICTED
We wish to call the attention of the public to
the lollowing annoupccmcnt of
Dr. E. F. Eldridge,
Of Grand Junction, Colorado,
Who has something to say to the sick and afflicted
which may prove of immeasurable value to those
who are suffering, either from disease or surgical
deformities.
The Doctor is favorably known over the entire
Western Slope, he having been in active practice in
his present location for the past filteen years, where
he enjoys the respect aud confidence of thousands
of his patients and associates. The Doctor spent
many years in the study of his profession visiting
many foreign countries and invesligating disease in
scores of hospitals throughout Europe, as well as
making special investigations of disease in its most
frequent regions. Especially was this true of Goitre,
Hay Fever and Typhoid Fever. The Doctor has
made most exhaustive investigations of these dis
eases, visiting Switzerland, where Goitre is epi
demic, and studying the disease in its home. He
found that the accepted theory of its cause was un
founded, but that the real cause was readily re
moved —and the disease curable, which he has
proved in many cases since. Typhoid is broken up
in a few days and the patient returns to his work,
generally within a week. Hay fever —the bug bear
of the summer months, is as readily cured. In fact
the Doctor prefers those cases which are not de
sired by the average physician as he has studied them
out and finds great pleasure in relieving them.
If You are Afflicted
with any ot the above, or any other chronic or acute
disease, requiring medicine or surgical attention call
on the Doctor and he will tell you honestly whether
he can cure you or not, as well as the probable cost.
Your case is not hopeless so long as you have not
secured his opinion.
Dr. Eldridge’s permanent address is E. F. El
dridge, M D.. No. 518 Main street. Grand Junction.
Colorado, where his offices are always open and
supplied with the best obtainable in drugs, medi
cines. dressing*, ami all that pertains either to the
practice of medicine or science of surgery.
