One of our new battleships is to be named after the state of Mis souri. As soon as she is launched she will start out on a cruise to “show” some of the nations of the earth a tiling or two. The press of the state is fast fol lowing the demoralizing example of the San Miguel Examiner and a few others in relating recent dis coveries in patriotic lingerie. Even that staid religious journal, the La Junta Tribune, has fallen a victim to the thriliingly sensuous conta- | gion, and right at the head of its ! editorial columns ecstatically in- j forms its readers as the result of j iiThe Ammunition I Used last week to enable you to secure the J largest values for the least cash \ Was Discharged !| With good results, as we were compelled J a to carry from our floor almost our entire |i 5 company of Refrigerators and Gasoline |i d Stoves.

Yhc Denver Post isof the opinion that the only difference between the Klondike liar and the war cor respondent is the extreme distance. The people have been of that opinion for some time past. The editor of the La Junta Tribune is the only newspaper man in the valley who wears dia monds.— Unmuzzled Truth. The editor of that sheet had his muzzle on when he invented that galling thrust. We move that our honorable board of county commissioners grade up and put in first-class con dition the road between Rocky Ford and La Junta. —Rocky Ford Times-Republican. Second the motion. The Unmuzzled Truth says: “Fig leaf socials are all the rage in La Junta now.” The residents of Coolidge ought to put a muzzle on that editor and then bottle him up with a thirteen-inch gun. He’d make a resident of Africa blush for shame. A correspondent of the Rocky Ford Enterprise says you can not go into a township in New York state without finding a flourishing creamery at some crossroads, and a flourishing people settled near and around it. He says there is no reason why Colorado should not have all these things, anti the sooner the better. To heed good advice in time is wise. J3ig headlines now appearing in the dailies and telling of whole ship loads of gold being brought down from Klondike is evidence that the war situation is nearing an end. The absence of the war extras is not only affording a rest to the j public in general, but is also giv ing the paper mill operators a much needed rest as well. We only hope now that the paper mill oper ators will grow weary of shoving up the price on print paper and give the poor printers a rest, thus inaugurating an era of restfulness all around. The stawberry crop of Colorado this year did not amount in its to tality to more than one-fourth of a full yield and naturally there is much disappointment over the re sults. Hail did much damage in some sections and in others winter killing is the cause of shortage, while in other places insects have | been disastrous. The one which 'seems the most abundant is the {strawberry root worm.—Pueblo Mail. “God must love the common people,” declared Abraham Lin coln, “because he made so many of them." The successful adver tiser should love them for the same reason. It is the common people who have made the great advertis ers the successful business men of ! the day, and their medium has ; been the newspaper. It is the uni | versal encyclopedia of the common people, and the merchant who is 1 not represented in its pages is not likely to be the successful com petitor in his class—Denver Times. The Democrat accuses the gold and silver republicans of a “pros titution of principles” in the elec tion last fall, and says the Tribune “feels hurt" because of the pros pect of a combination of the popu lists and democrats. The cause of silver was not affected one way or the other in the election last fall, nor will it be in the election this fail, and we prophesy that with the advent ol another national election the silver issue will have been rele gated to “innocuous desuetude,” as Grover would say. We are glad, however, that the Democrat has come out and declared itself Of course, there is no “prostitu tion of principle" in a combination of populists and democrats. The democrats have given up a forlorn hope and been swallowed body and soul by the populists. They can never hope to win otherwise. We are glad to see the local organ ad mit the fact with so much candor and grace. Taylor Found Guilty. The Denver Post of last Friday says: The trial of Harry Taylor, charged with criminal assault on Katie Clark of La Junta, was com menced this morning in the west side criminal court. Judge Dixon j sitting. Katie Clark is a slender, childish appearing girl of scarcely ! 15, and is very diffident. She was neatly dressed and wore colors that set oil her striking complexion to advantage. Her story as told | this morning is as follows: “I was born in South Carolina and came with my mother and brother and sister to live at La Junta, Colo. Harry Taylo.r came to our restaurant to cook, but 1 did not get introduced to him there. My mother is married again and she used to allow me a great many privileges. “One night I met Harry Taylor at my chum's house. Her name is Florence Eddy. Every time 1 went to see her Harry was there and so we got very well acquainted. He told mamma he wanted to marry me. “On the 19th of May my mother and I came to Denver. We stopped at the Alpine apartments a few minutes and then went to room across the street from the court house on Court place. We took a trip to Boulder to see my brother, who is employed there, and then we came back and stayed a day together at the same place. Finally mamma said she was go ing back to La Junta, but I had better stay here until Harry mar ried me. So she left me alooe. 1 fully believed that he would marry me.” At certain poiots in her narrative the child would blush deeply and cast reproachful glances at Taylor, who sat perfectly calm and unruffled Taylor is 32 years of age. The jury, after being out fifteen minutes, found Taylor guilty as charged. He has not as yet been sentenced. ONE MILLION A DAY I* Um estimated Cost of Mia War Up to tbs Present Tims. Hostilities with Spain ate cost ing the people of the United States fi.6b0.000 a day. That is A ’ Very heavy price to pay lor war's glories, but so far as can be learned here, where the pulse of the public can lie best felt, the expenditure pleases the nation's taxpayers. Fully fi00.000.000 has been paid out thus far for expenses in curred by the war for humanity. These figures arc calculated on the basis of the cost of defense during normal times. The expenditures for national detese (army and navy) this year exceed $75,000,000 over and above what it cost last year, and this excess is attributable to only one cause —war. Of this $75,000,000 more than two-thirds has been spent on the army. The excess for the navy has amounted to $25,000,000. It should he remembered that these sums represent only the actual monev already paid out. They take no account whatever of the vast sums that must be paid later, and for which contracts have al ready been made. On a cash transaction basis the war has been costing the country about fi.000,- 000 a day since July Ist. The demand for ready cash is largely supplied by the special war tax which is now in full blast and which is turning large sums into the treasury daily. The receipts from this source to date from July Ist amounted to $10,000,000, more than double the sum taken in be fore the new stamp act went into effect. Officials of the treasury depart ment have no fear of embarrass ment What with the added re ceipts from the stamp tax, with the great revenue from the customs, which amounts to about $4,500,000 for the twelve days of |uly that have already passed, and with other sources of revenue the coun try will be in a pretty fairway of being able to pay its bills. 4 As the war enlarges and the of the army and navy expand more money will bfc needed, but it will be forthcoming There is already in the strong box a bal ance of something like $250,000,- 000, and the accession of the cash on the bond sale will bring the treasury up to the value of nearly $500,000,000. At the enormous cost of $1,000,000 per diem a year's war would foot up an expense of only $365,000,000. All things considered, therefore, the country will have plenty of cash. There will be no danger of a shortage—Washington Dispatch. Are You Troubled with Dyspepsia? If so, do not neglect until it is too late this opportunity of ridding yourself Of this trouble.
