REASONABLE CONCLUSIONS.

From q review of the above matters we
think the most reasonable conclusion for all
up-country people is to look with suspicion
upon what originates in Charleston, and that
il would be wise to favor any measure which
that city opposes. The country delegate who
has not disccrnmcnten0ugh to know when he
is doing TAG WrOEg should therefore watch the
wishes OF Charleston, and vote the other way.
By following this rule, they Will be right in a
majority Of cases. People from The country
may safely fear propositions to levy taxes
which come from The cities. 1t is scarcely pos
siblc for country people TO be benefited by
taxing their lands to build up any town.
We d.sc,aim amy iil-Wiil for Charleston or
any desire to do that city any injustice in
thought, word. or deed, but what we insist
upon is the equality of the citizens of every
county before the law, and deny that tlle city
Of Charleston is entitled to double represent
tation in either branch of the General AS
scnbly. Especially do we protest against The
unlawful representation which is maintained
by Charleston. II Charleston desires the
good Will Of the ~up-cOuntry, that city should
treat lis right. 1t will he useless to deprccate
the feeling Of the u~p-cOuntry oward Charles
ton as long as the low country rolcs rs q unit
on important questions.

CHARLESTON.
S. The Charleston capitalists who chose to
go into the phosphate digging business have
no phosphate commissioner to regulate tho
profits on their business, similar to the COM
mission which regulates the railroads. The
stock in none of our railroads is worth the pa
per OF which it is written while the market
value OF the stock in the phosphate mining
business is said to be something like from five
hundred to twelve hundred per cent. more
than the par value. This result is brought
about by giving certain companies the mo-
nopoly of that business. BY giving the favor
cd companies the exclusive right to dig phos-
pilates they are enabled to sell for Sa.G1 rock
which it is said costs to raise, 1912 a ton, and
to which is added sl.Oo OF royalty. With phos-
phates at q Profit of three hundred per cent.
and With factory stock exempt from taxation,
the capitalists CT Charleston ought TO do very
well, at 4 tine when the Railroad Commission
IS squeezing the life out of the railroads in the

Where the Dollar Goes Furthest.

The approach Of the holidays make one
feel as though every dollar should have at
least two hundred cents, for many things
have to be bought. The little ones ex-
pect their presents, so do employees and
servants, and if the pocket is not entirely
drained by that time, friends and other
dear ones have to be remembered. If we
cannot make dollar worth double its
value, we can at least try to secure as
much for it as can possibly be got, and if
you will for this purpose call at Simon
Bros, establishment, you will leave their
place after having made your purchase
with smile of satisfaction upon your
countenance.
The bargains in Fancy Goods, Ladies
Bags and Satchels, Handkerchiefs, Lace
Goods, Gloves, Jewelry, Wooden Goods
and everything else comprised in the
millinery and fancy goods line, are such as
will induce everyone visiting the place to
purchase something.

THE BISHOP DIDN'T WALTZ.
But the Boys of North Ogden Did
and Bounced the Bishop Home.

One of those ridiculous little episodes
characterizing a straightAjacket Mormon
dance occurred at North Ogden Wednes-
day night last, and was related to-day by
a gentleman present on the occasion. A
rare member of the predominant Church
of Zion issued invitations to private
hop in honor of his daughters wedding.
Shortly after dusk the guests arrived at
the family residence, and among the in
vited friends of the fair bride were four
young admirers of the hosts honored
daughter who were not OF the "chosen
of Israel" A cotillion had just been
gone through with, when the bishop of
the ward hove in sight. A few more
walk-arounds were disposed OF, when
one of the young Americans from with
out the fold called for waltz, and got it.
He drew the ward school-ma am to his
side and went gliding about the room,
the poetry of motion and the envy of the
bishop and every old rheumatic in
the hall A note stopped the music
and the young man was informed that he
was dancing too close and it wouldn't
be allowed any more" The bishop
tried to eject the four invited outsiders,
but the boss of the house said they were
his kind of people, and closing the door,
he succeeded in running his own affair
as suited him best.
Yesterday one OF the four young gen
tlemen received letter with instructions
to inform his three associates that not
withstanding the girls desired their pres
ence, they would not be permitted to
attend any more dances at North Ogden.
The Bishop making such kick against
"close dancing is said to have been
bird at waltzing few years ago, but he
has become decrepit, and is determined
that no young sprigs shall enjoy any
pleasures that he cannot indulge in. The
boys speak in the highest terms OF the
good practical sense OF the Bishop OF
Pleasant View, who is reasonably consid-
crate in his doings, and maintains the
of saints and sinners alike by
sensible policy,
