SOME GOOD SHORT STORIES
! Reviving a Remark.
(Pittsburg Dispatch.)


Representative jerry Simpson of Kan
sas paid a polite compliment the other
day to that legislative worthy of former
days, Hon. Tim Campbell of New York,
and at the same time demonstrated his
familiarity with congenial phrases that
are current in political society. When
the committee on interstate commerce.,
was making his speech. in behalf of the
Nicaragua canal bill, as a rider on the
great sundry civil appropriation bill, Rep
resentative William SulZer of New York,
in his own dramatic style, prooounded a
question as to whether Colonel Pete
had ever read the constitution of Mica
ragua.
English translation of it," answered the
1oWan.
Does the gentleman know that there
is clause in it which forbids the sale of
any territory to a foreign power?" ag-
gressively inquired the New Yorker.
Colonel Hepburn said he did not.
Its true, stoutly asserted Representa-
tive Sulzer.
We'll, it's true" retorted Colonel Hep
burn sarcastically and with a manner of
impatience. Il assume that for the sake
of politeness. but do not believe it,
Mr.. Simpson had been over on the DEM
ocratic side, near the seat where ex-Rep-
resentative Tim Campbell was sitting,
much absorbed in the proceedings. The
Kansan marched out into the space in
front of the speakers desk and up to-
ward Colonel Hepburn
'Pfwat is a little thing like the constitu-
ton among frinds, anyway" asked Mr..
Simpson, in a, conciliatory tone and an
Irish accent, looking at Mr.. Campbell.

ALLEGED DEMOCRATS.

In his reply to Perry Belmont's letter
printed yesterday morning, William j.
Bryan made one statement which should
not be lost upon others than so-called
Democrats who, for any excuse. under
take to defy the majority and defeat its
will.
Evidently Mr.. Bryan is not very
warm admirer of men who go about
singing Of their party loyalty without
giving anyone a chance to find it out,
who tell what they have done to build
up the organization that attention may
be diverted from their efforts to tear it
down; who profess love for Democratic
principles. yet trample the most inn
portant of them under foot.
Concerning these men of words and
not of deeds, Mr.. Bryan expresses this
opinion:
Il believe in harmonizing personal
differences, but difference in principle
cannot be harmonized, and, in my
judgment, no party advantage is to be
derived from political communion be-
tween Jeffersonian Democrats who

PRATT AND RETRENCHMENT.

Mayor Clark was elected as a non
partisan for the avowed purpose of in
augurating a system of municipal re-
form, retrenchment and reduced sala-
ries.
Several members of the city council
were nominated in the same way and
elected on the same platform Of written
and oral promises.
In recognition of a certain element,
and as a reward for valuable campaign
services, Arthur Pratt was named by
the mayor as chief of police of Salt
Lake City.
But what has Chief Pratt done to
make good the pledges of the nom
sisted Mayor Clark and the council to
retrench?
When an ordinance was passed fixing
the salaries of the various officials anu
employees of the city the pay of the
chief of the police department was cut
with the rest
1t was reduced from $500 per year to
$1,000, saving Of $500 per annum to the
taxpayers of the city.
But is it saved? Is the ordinance
recognized by Pratt? Are the pledges
of retrenchment and the efforts to re-
deem them treated with decent respect
by the chief of police?
Go to the records. They show that
Arthur Pratt draws $1,000 per year, as
if no action had ever been taken by the
council. In order to avoid another law
suit the municipal authorities yielded.
They doubtless concluded that the
cheapest way to get along with Pratt
is to give him $500 per annum on his
technical claim, and to allow him to
belle their declarations of economy and
retrenchment.
Non-partisans may talk till doomsday
about the reforms they expect to adopt,
it all depends on whether Pratt is will
ing or not; for the least indication of
an attempt to cross him is answered by
a threat TO add another to his endless
chain Of legal actions.
Talk about bulldozing! Pratt is a
record holder.

JEFFERSON'S VIEWS.

Replying to the invitation to attend
the banquet of a goldite club which re-
tains the name Democratic" although
it as an organization and its members
as individuals tried to wreck and did
defeat the Democratic party two and a
half years ago, Mr.. Bryan says:
THE antagonism between our posi-
tons is SO great that we cannot with
propriety join in a political banquet
given in honor of Democracy's patron
saint. Jefferson stood for certain well
defined principles If your views are
a correct reflection of his ideas 1 fear
that my voice would sound a discord-
ant note at your banquet. If, on the
other hand, the Chicago platform APP
plies las l believe it does) Jefferso-
MAN principles to present conditions,
then your conspicuous presence at the
Jeffersonian banquet would not honor
the memory of the worlds greatest
Democrat"
The two pre-eminent leaders, the
founder and the patron saint of the
Democratic party, are Thomas Jeffer-
son and Andrew Jackson. The latter,
in his farewell address, used the fol-
lowing language: My humble efforts
have not been spared during my adj
ministration of the government to re-
store the constitutional currency of
gold and silver, and something, I trust,
has been done toward the accomplish
ment of this most desirable object.
Some question is raised by alleged
Democrats as TO the position of Thomas
jefferson on the question of bimetal-
lism, discussion which Mr. Bryan
calls up in his letter. 1t appears of rec
ord, however, that on Nov. 6, 1873,
Thomas Jefferson in a letter TO John
w. Eppes, wrote these words:
las to the public. these companies
have banished all our gold and silver
medium, which, before their institution,
we had without interest, which never
could have persisted in our hands and

The bride Uttered, but the clergyman
with a very red face, tried again: wilt

Woman?"
There was a general litter, and even
the bridegroom looked trife ruff1ed.
There was a look of fierce determine

AS matter of fact from Jefferson to
this day the Democratic party has
never wavered or failed to stand for

And it may be observed further that
no president Of the United States from
Washington down to Hayes ever OPP
posed the silver dollar as component
part Of money coinage of this country.

ON BOTH SIDES AGAIN.

John Sherman's career is unique
among American statesmen. He has
seemed too dignified to be called poll
tician. and yet too tricky to be regarded
as purely statesman. He has fooled
a. great many people all the time, and
in 1923 he succeeded in making a cage
of monkeys out of congress. To this
day some of his congressional col
leagues Of that period are trying to find
out just how silver was demonetized.
While he never left the Republican
party from the minute he became iden-
titled with it, John Sherman discovered
more ways of getting on all sides of
public questions than an ordinary pol
itician needs in his business.
He has talked both ways for silver.
for gold, for tariff, for war, and for
candidates. He even threatens to
carry this eccentricity beyond the
grave. Within the last twenty-four
hours. if one may believe press dis
patches, he has been on both sides of
the dark curtain which hangs between
the here and the hereafter; he has been
mourned and hailed; he has fooled the
grim Destroyer even, and promises to
live to read his own obituaries.
A very nice one appears in the edi-
torial columns of the Deseret Evening
News. Among other things, it says:
AT last, weighed down with the bur
den Of years and the depression OF sick
ness, he has passed out of public view
to another sphere of action"
Nonsense! Mr.. Sherman took pas
sage in an ordinary steamer from Cuba
to the United States. It was not upon
the river StyX in Charon's boat at all.
The old man has merely reversed him
self again, and Charon can imagine how
congress felt in 1873.

pays this tribute to the Burlington's
dining-car service:
"The dining-car service of the Bur-
lington Route is about the best there
is. On every table in the dining car
is a fresh bunch of Americana beauty
roses, one of which the waiter affixes
to your coat when you have finished
your meal. The cloth is changed
with each guest, no matter how little
soiled. The menu, though not long,
is wonderfully well-selected and ad-
mirably served"
Go East on the Chicago Special which
leaves Denver at 40 p. M. or on the Yes
tibuied Flyer which leaves at $50 D. M.
and you can see for yourself how good
how clean. how reasonable in price, our
dining-car service is.
