Joe and Ben Rich are brothers. The
former is a Democrat while the latter
is a Republican. Ben was the chair
man of the late Republican state con-
vention and Joe was temporary and
permanent chairman of the Democratic
state convention. They belong to a
good old Mormon family than which
in worth, intellect and responsibility
none in the state stand higher. These
two brothers are both bright, but of
course Joe is head and shoulders above
Ben in weight of brains and natural
and acquired abilities. In speaking of
his distinguished brother while in Boise
the other day Joe said:
ben is a tolerably good man but the
d-dest political liar that ever
went g."-zBoise Democrat.
When I scolded Nell for smoking
Her naughty cigarette,
And vowed they'd make her pearls of
teeth
Almost as black as jet.
She tossed her blonde and curly head
And pulled a little cloud,
Smoked pearls are good enough for me"

ing-gum scare, because of an alleged
case Of appendicitis, in the east, caused
by a piece of gum lodging in the vermi-

course, the young lady died; but it was
not because of the gum lodging there.
She died, as do nine out Of ten of such
victims, from the surgeons knife. 1t
is the business of the newspapers,
take it, to write of the deadly knife

The appeal is made to the Union
Pacific officers in behalf of the men
who went out on strike at the request
of Debs and others of the railway un-
ion, are right and proper, and it to be
hoped that Mr.. Dickinson and others
will see their way clear to forgive and
forget. Take Salt Lake for a sample.
There are hundreds of good citizens to-
day walking the streets who of right
should be back in their old places. Few
if any, of them had any desire to
strike; their only offense was that
they were weak and could not with
stand the pressure brought to bear
against them.
They committed no overt act; they
Were peaceful and law abiding; they
are residents of Salt Lake in the truest
sense; they should be given at least
another chance to live in the city they
have helped to make. No one deplored
and condemned the insane folly of Debs
more than 1; no one has a greater con-
tempt for the man who brought on
these men all their troubles; no one
would be more pleased to see every
man who did not use violence during
the strike return to the position he
held before Debs got in his deadly
work.
And in this connection it is proper
to call attention to the hold-up tactics
of the Southern Pacific railroad. Not
satisfied with denying work on their
road to the men who participated in
the late strike-which I admit they
have a perfect right to do-the officials
are bounding their late employees at
every turn. No matter what the posi-
ton one Of them may secure, so great
is the influence of the Octopus in Cali
fornia, when the word goes out from
headquarters, that man is at once dis
charged. This is all wrong; it is more
than that-it is devilish. 1t is equiva-
lent to using dynamite, to burning
cars; to wrecking trains.
No one need be at all surprised if it
brings upon the Southern Pacific great
