FOUR MORE YEARS OF
ROOSEVEL
I On Saturday of last t week Thc-
odore Roosevelt was inaugurated
I - 7-- . - president of the United States for
the term expiring Iarch 4. 1909.
. .
For three years thc president has
, . .
been thc chief executive because
t . . _ . \ of thc awful tradgcdy at Buffalo.
. Now he is president not ] through
chance , hut because of thc desirc
. 9f all over whelming majority of
the American people , For three
years he has faithfully kept the
' . - pledge made at thc bier of the
_ . martyred J\lcKinlcy , that he
would carry out thc policies of
t thc lead president. Now hc begins -
"
, gins a term of office which is dis.
tinctly his own , and which is unhampered -
hampered l by any continge tices.
l
The warfare hc has instituted
against trusts and unlawful com-
mcrcial combinations is a stul > cn-
deus task , because the evils arc
; , . -r . , . . stuIJCIHlo1 ! Many believe that
the president has a mouthful
, which he will be unable to mast -
t J ticatc. Thc writer believes that
this struggle brtwcen thc indi-
\'idual and l thc t rust will run
through the present , generation ,
but that in the end thc individual
will succced. By success is meant
. not thc destruction of capital nor
thc lnihilation of combinations ,
,
but rather thc enforced obedience
.
of all classes to thc laws that exist -
, : . . , - ist , and the enactment 91' further
j legislation to remedy thc wrongs
1 . of property. Thc pioneer of this
movement which has been delayed -
ed all too long , is Theodore
Roosc\'elt. No good citizen will
cmbara's ! his efforts cither by in-
diffcrencc or bv doubting thc . hon-
. I' , cst ) ' of his intcntions. He has
been tried in many ways and has
. proved himsclf. III peace and in
. war rflleodore Roosevelt is a true
\ soldier of thc republic.

. - BEEF TRUST REPORT.
, . - . " .
. ' Commissioner : Garfield has finally - .
. . ally reported to congress on thc
beef trust. In a written statement
covering two hundred pages , thc ;
information is given that thc
. ; t trust has no monopoly as it con-
\ ' ' , - trois but forty five per cent of the
product. Thc average profit on
h , steer is nincty-ninc ccnts. That
at least a part of thc time the
. great packing industries lose
money. All of this comes as a'
great surprise to thc American
pcoplc. A profit of nincty nine
cents on an investment of fifty
dollars is certainly not nnrcason-
ablc. Controlling but forty five
r , )
J' '
per cent of the beef product is
not much of a mOl1olOly. Still ,
thc purpose for which congress
ordered this investigation is not ;
;
fully accomplish by time report.
In the resolution passed the request -
quest for information as to whcth-
cr or not thc packing industries
were stifling competition was
in ale. On this and many ki11(1ted
inquiries the report is silcnt. 'l ' ime
report may bc classed as a distinct -
tinct disappointmcnt , and one
that adds but little to thc reputation -
tation of thc department of com-
nHrcc. :

SENATOR EDWARD WOL-
COTI-
] ( d ward \Yolcott , formerly Ullit-
cd States Senator from Colorado ,
dicd in Paris , France , last wcck
after an illness of a few days.
Senator 'Walcott was one of the
most graceful orators of his timc.
Possessing an imiiagiiiatiou of
great purity ; having tempel'lncn-
tal qualities of sentiment wcll 1
balanced by judgemen and intellect -
tcllcct , hc because one of thc
dominant forces of his native
state , and subsequently of the
scnate. In thc channel of his
life however , there flowed a Hllul :
dy i stream which polluted thc
whole. He learned thc truth of
thc old adage that a good mis-
tress makes a poor wife . Assod-
atioils ' 'lm leh1'ere charming' be-
cause uf their \ iulations uf the
conventionalities of social con-
duct fwd the laws of man , grew
stale when made legitimatc. Time {
< 1 \ 'orcc'hich followed alienated
many of his strongest followers ,
though today time majority of thc
republican part in Colorado
loves Ed \Volcott with a love that
passcth understanli11g.
Hc spent most of his later years
in New ; : York and Paris following
his desires which'erc thc
wcrc creatures -
urcs of his perfect health and his
passions. Senator Wolcott alight
have been one of thc first citizens
of thc rcpublic. In this instancl ;
the words "mig-ht have been ' 'lose
none of their sadncss.

NOTHING DOING.
Time present legislature has
come about as near to doing nothing -
ing as ant' similar body of recent
ycars. The leg-islation desired by
thc people has not been forth
coming. The ml'l11bccs seem to
have forgotten that thc state is
a quarter ofa million dollars in
debt. The present constitution
fits the state about as well as a
"bustcr brews suit would fit a
giant , still every proposition to
its amcndmcnt isdcfcated. About
the only thing accomplished of
note , was thc succcss of Senator
Cady in his efforts to compel the
railroad cOlllmittcc of thc senate
to report ' . thc maximum freight .
bills. .
If thc short timc rcmaining- is
to be no more product of good
results than the past has been , thc
sooner this legislature adjourns
the better.
