The visit of the president andhis bear hunt will serve to informthe natives of this state what agreat country we really have.

Under the new managementthe North Fork Times at Hotch-kiss is showing considerable im-provement. The paper is nowdoing some geunine boosting, in- Istead of the “knocking” that hasbeen done heretofore. Hotchkisswill soon feel the effect of thisnew era in away that will makeit appreciated.

A prominent minister who hasrecently visited at the home ofRockefeller says that he is adevout Christian. Itwould seemthat the oil magnate in this, .likemany other things he has goneinto, will come out better fixedthan when he went into them.Johrtis hard to beat in any kindof a proposition.

Delta should congratulate her-self upon the magnanimous feel-ing displayed by theirwaterworkscontractors in repairing thebreaks in the system at the ex-pense of the contractors. Wehave heard a great deal of com-ment about Delta’s trouble in thewaterworks business and some ofthe “chronics” will have to castaround for new fields in which tokick. An outrider would havethought that Delta would gobankrupt overthe whole affair.North Fork Times.

Mexico'will' go or, a gold basisMay 1 and the mints have beenclosed to the free coinage of sil-ver. President Diaz has issueda decree for the reform of themonetary system authorized bycongress in December last. Thedecree establishes the "peso” orsilver dollar at a value fit fiftycents gold and the theoreticalunit of the Mexican currency isdefined to be the dollar or “peso”of” seventy-five cents gold. Animportant feature of the decreeis a provision for a reserve ex-change fund which at first willconsist of $10,000,000 or $15,000,-000 and may be increased.

Nocareful observer ofthe trendof popular opinion can doubt thatthe country at large is heartilywith the president in this ques-tion of discrimination. He hasbeen fearless in his position, intestimony whereof is the revela-tion concerning the railroad withwhich one of his own appointeesto the cabinet was once connect-ed. He has been right in hisconclusions, in testimony whereofis the support of the interstatecommerce commission. He haschosen a good time for suggest-ing and supporting correctivelegislation, in testimony whereofis theunmistakable approval of hisconstituents.—Pittsburg Times.

Will the public ownership ofpublic utilities become a nationalissue? Mayor-elect Dunne ofChicago says itwill. MayorTomL. Johnson ofCleveland is equallysanguine. He declares that mu-nicipal ownership will be put inthe Ohio Democratic state plat-form of 1905 in big letters, thatthe Republicans will be forced tofavor it or their candidate forgovernor will be beaten, that itwill dwarf all other issues in thestate campaign and that it willbe at the front for the nationalcanvass of 1908. All over thecountry the municipal ownershipmen are encouraged by Dunne’sbig victory.

DON’T LOOK GOOD.

A certain mutual insurancecompany of Denver is again introuble, suit having been broughtby J. J. Smith of Delta, on apolicy amounting to a thousanddollars on the suitor’s residence.It appears that the insurance heldby Mr. Smith in the old linecompanies has been paid. Sometime ago this company had a lossin llotchkis3 and refused to pay

but two-thirds ofthe policy claim-ing that the valuations were wayabove the conservative insuranceplane. One of the most absurdinstances connected with thewhole affair was the attitude ofthe soliciting agent, a formerHotchkiss man, who advised therefusal of the payment of thewhole amount, acquiesing in theclaims of the adjustor that hewas taking a proper stand. It isneedless to add that the unfortu-nate policy holder now carriesoldline insurance and goes to bedcontented that he will receivewhat is due him in the event ofa loss. A pretty good criterionis always manifest when a cor-poration or individual has abunchof suits on hand and who so oftenhave trouble in the settlement ofaccounts, they are good ones tostay clear of. When some oneoffers to give you something ‘ ‘somuch cheaper” than anyone else,then lookout, somebody pays thebill in the end.—North ForkTimes.

The main contention of theMountain Mutual company inthis suit is the fact that thepolicy holder had asked to havethe policy cancelled. This thecompany refused or did not dountil the house had burned down.The way the matter looks theywould neither cancel the policynor pay the same in the event ofloss.

Secretary Taft has announc-ed that the Venezuelan case, in-volving the interests of the NewYork and Bermudez Asphalt Co.popularly known as ‘‘the AsphaltTrust”, is a closed incident. Inother words the United Stateswill except without protest Pres-ident Castro’s refusal to submitthe cases to arbitration while itis pending in the Venezuelanoarts and all sensational reports

to the contrary, which will do-ubtless appear from time to timein the daily press, may be ac-cepted as without warrent. Ofcourse if Castro perpetrates someovertact against an American.citizen the vengence of the Unit-ed States will follow swiftly andsurely, but as long as Castro con-fines his course merely to pro-longing the pending litigationthis country will attempt no re-prisals.
