THE MAN IN THE TUB.

Well, dear friends, we are on the eve of
another political campaign, and trust you
are enjoying the prospect 1t will be the
bitterest fight that has ever occurred in
this vicinity and will be well worth wit
Messing. The Liberal party, which is even
now in the throes of death, will simply
tight for another two years lease of life. l
snail not march this time but with my old
comrades of the Tom Guest Tigers, the
Treweek guards, the w. l.. Pickard club
and other organizations, shall content N.Y.
self with looking on.
1tmay not be practicable to establish a CITY
receiving hospital at this time, but would
suggest the propriety of making some sort
OF arrangement which would secure med
lcal attention for those who are injured and
the frlendless sick, without requiring them
TO go through series of preliminaries that
would turn a civil service examination
green with envy.
Ii mad my way | would require few OF
our solans to spend night in the bunk
house OF the city jail. The place is unfit to
lodge any human being IN, and is disgrace
to the city. Don't infer from this that
nave ever been an occupant of the house
the fact that l am alive to write this is
proof to the contrary.
My next suggestion is also one of import.
ance. 1t is that we have a METROPOLITAN
police system, conducted by board of fire
and police commissioners This would do
away with all the bitterness, jealousy and
oack-oltlng that makes the present force as |
near worthless as 1t could we'll be. 1t is |
claimed that the city contains between
oO,OOO and 10000 souls and covers ten
square miles. 1t is patrolled by twenty five |
men, divided into three shifts, four men |
being On duty in the morning, ten in the |
! afternoon, and ten at night. | am forced 10
say that this is not sufficient protection for
city like Salt Lake.

was listening yesterday to calamity
croaker delivering a wall about hard times. |
He said: "Everythi shows that we
are having terribly hard times, and | am |
afraid they will grow worse. WHY, the |
cheap saloons have been forced to go into |
the Tree lunch business to keep up trade.
and it's almost Impossible TO induce a
Worklngman to spend quarter over the
par then. Again, look at the police court
record. Where we used to have tfty
DRINKS day last week. we have two or
three now. What's the reason! Simply
That men are too poor to get drunk. Why
even the BARRIERS are suffering because the
people are too poor to shave"
Stuff and nonsense, my friend. Times
are not hard and the workingman doesn't
guzzle beer simply because ne is a wise
Worklngman, and the other fellow doesn't
shaVe because a beard is comfortable in
cold weather.
