be better to say that the latter causes
the former. When the man seeks the
office the public purse is not likely to
receive such protection as when the
Office seeks the man.
Existing conditions are radically at
variance with the old-time training
Utah, and there should be a return to
first principles. In old times in Utah
the petty ofllce-seekcr was regarded
by his neighbors with sentiments akin

that kind OF n public opinion. Give the

some good old man who Is not strong
enough to DO hard work but possesses
sound sense, and let him be justice of
the peace. The office of constable is
well adapted to some brawny fellow
who is too lazy to do hard work, but
an American citizen with lofty aspira-
tlons should and win aim for some
thing higher. Frown down this petty

VIII be lighter. and a higher standard

will prevail.
