the bill was referred back to the spe-

amendments proposed materially

The most important contention in
the house was the bill allowing FIVE

the bill and Messrs. Abbott and Jacob

ECONOMY IS NEEDED.

The thing that this city needs before
all others is economy in the admins
tration of its affairs. for already the
people are overburdened with taxa
ton, and whatever many be the poIiti-
cal complexion Of the next city admin
istration economy in all things must
be its watchword or it will be hurled
from power two years hence.
One of the claims made in behalf of
instituting non-partisan government is
that there win be more economy. and
yet the Tribune, which is favoring a
bipartisan government, is favoring a
line Of policy in the matter of expendi-
ture that is the very reverse of econ
omy. Wednesday it favored the par-
chase Of play grounds for children by
the city, while yesterday it favored an
increase in the wages Of. the fremen.
In urging the latter it said;
Ours in Salt Lake are a splendid
body of men, and they have proven
their efficiency over and over again.
Nearly two years ago their wages We're
cut down from $50 to S65 per month. 1t

Play grounds for the children are de-

wages of the flremen, but can this city
afford the expenditure? And is it not

A CONVENTION OF cR1PPLEs.

It is not certain that the American
people do not love a set of resoundfng
resolutions quite as much as liberty
itself, in fact some OF them seem to
think that resolutions about liberty are
the same thing as liberty itself. The
great place for the making Of resolu-
tons is conventions, and 50 the coun-
try has conventions of all kinds. The
only thing necessary to get a con-
ventfon is to have enough people who
have a grievance or a, gruAge of one
kind or another in communication with
each other and the thing is determined
upon.
But the strongest kind of conven-
tfon yet proposed is that of cripples.
The first national gathering of the kind
WIFI meet in St. Louis on the Goth
inst. It is expected that when the
meeting is called to order there will
be at least six Thousand delegates pres
emit. each one of whom will be a Grip
pie; none others will be entitled to a
seat in the hall. The originator Of the
gathering is a flagman named William
r. Tower. 1t is to be a grand affair,
the President of the United States, the
governor of Missouri, Mr.. Bryan and
others having been invited Just what
the purpose of the convention is is not
stated, but that it Will be a momentous
affair is made certain by the fact that
there are to be speeches and certainly
resolutions. 1t is not at all improb-
able that a demand fer pensions will
be made.
The sight Will be unique, yet after all
it viii be sad one as it always is TO
see a man who was created in Gods
image become deformed, or crippled.
One would think that those who are
afflicted through disease or accident
would not care to assemble in NUM-
bers SO large as to draw special atten-
ton to them.

ROSE EVIDENCE.

Sometimes. upon a dusty country road,
We meet breath of sudden sweet per-
fume.
And find alone, aloof from all abode,
Old-fashioned roses rioting In bloom.
Nearby, half hidden in the knee-deep
grass,
The myrtle CLEANS, a richer, deeper
And stares with blue-eyed wonder as we
Then nestles low and dreams itself un-
seen.
All signs of life or ownership have fed,
Only the green grass stretches far and
And yet the roses and the myrtle bed

THE CHARGE AGAINST THE
NoN-PARTIsAN COMMITTEE.


Some Of the non-partisan promoters
appear to labor under the impression
that those who do not favor their move
ment are denying them the right to
make it. Those who labor under that
impression are laborinG under a false
one. They have a perfect right to IT.
augurate political movements, to bay
the moon CT do anything else that isn't
forbidden by the law.
The charge against the promoters of
the non-partisan movement is that they
did not dare to submit their PROPOSE
ton for the formation of a nonpaTti
san municipal party TO the people OF
salt Lake City for their approval or
disapproval. They feared that the
people either would not approve their
proposition or that they, the promo
tiers, would not be continued in control
of the movement If they were con-
WINGED that there was a public senti-
ment in favor of their movement, why
we're they afraid to consult that public
sentiment? Why were they afraid to
go to those from whom they expected
support, not to those from whom they
expected opposition, and ask them for
their aid and support? If they will
give it to them after the promoters Of
the movement have completed their
ticket, why would they not have given
it to them before? Why did not the
nom partisan committee ask it? Sim
ply because they instructed those upon

ticket they have made, but in the max
ing Of which they did not ask their
expected supporters to take any part.
They have not merely Shown lack of
confidence in partisans, but also in non
partisans The News, which strangely
advocates the movement, admitted this
when it asked if primaries had been
! called who would have controlled them?
The gentlemen who have had the
non-partisan movement in charge are
no doubt a committee of citizens, but
they are n0t a citizens committee, for
they are self appointed and there has
been no public meeting. of citizens ask
| ing them to act in their behalf. The
method Of the committee, no matter
! what the merits or dement's of it's work
has been the very antipodes of the
methods Of popular government, it has
been the method of an oligarchy, pure
and simple. Its method has been not
merely an impeachment of partisan
methods of nominating candidates for
office, but it has been an Impeachment
of popular methods Of nominating
them; and popular is used as synony-
nous with populace.
The non-partfsans of Provo were not
afraid to cali primaries and nominating
conventions and no one attempted TO
control them. They showed complete
confidence in those wln5m they expect
to support their ticket. while the non
partisan committee of this city, which
has gotten up a ticket, has displayed
complete lack of confidence in those
from Whom it expects support If the
! nom partisans of Provo could be trusted,
why could not those of Salt Lake City

marked by positive distrust of the peo-

CONCERNING THE PEOPLE,

The Tribune says that of late The
Herald sleeps with the people and gets
up with the people. That is more than
our contemporary has been doing for
some time. The Herald feels that it
has been and is in excellent good COM
pany, and hopes to ever remain there.
But when our contemporary talks
about the promoters of the non-parti-
san movement meeting in a hall not
large enough to hold the whole people"
it becomes inexpressibly funny or sar-
castle. The exact dimensions of that
'ehaIT' we do not know, but we think
we are perfectly safe in saying that it
does not exceed 10x15 feet. The whole
people could hardly be held in a "hall'
of such dimensions though no doubt
the non partisan party could. Then 50
far as we know. this same hall has
never been opened to the people to see
if they could all get into it.
Our contemporary, becomes remin-
iscene and says that in the event of q
Democratic city government being
elected unnecessary work will be I'M
dertaken prior to election day to colon
ize voters in certain wards Where they
will do the most good" No such work
will be undertaken prior to election day
or ait any other time, nor will there be
any colonizing. That is corruption and
should be fought by all, and would be
by The Herald.
Our contemporary concludes as fol
lows:
And it is only fair to say that the
exec ssive love which our contemporary
is Just nosy manffesting for the people
is born Of q desire to bring this very
state of affairs about, for next year
there will be county and legislative and
state officers and a congressman TO
elect. and our contemporary is anxious
to use the city offices and officers as
part of the plan of campaign.
And is it any more than fair to say
that our contemporaries great zeal in
behalf of a non-partisan government in
Salt Lake City is born of a desire to
aid the Republican party which was
badly beaten throughout the state last
wear? 1t seems the only way to bring
it back to life. In such cases many
things are excusable.
