MISUNDERSTANDING.

COUNCILMAN VIGUS is reported as
~ telling Councilman Fernstrom that
he would punch his CFernstrom's) head
If he Fernstrom) ever made any more
saucy remarks about him Vigus).
Later on the same evenly evening,
which happened 10 be Monday, City
Attorney Nye is reported to have made
a threatening demonstration against
the councilman from the historic Third
precinct Fortunately, no blood was
spilled, either in the council chamber
or on the city and county building
steps.
Thus we have another illustration OF
the force of example. If Senator Till
man had not swatted Senator Nc
Laurin. and il Senator Bailey had re
sisted the temptation to clutch the
throat OF Senator Beverage, it is en-
tirely probable that no wariike spirit
would have been manifested among
the councilmen and their lawful adj
wiser. And this brings us around to
another very interesting point.
Suppose the said Vigus had punched
the head of the Fernstrom aforesaid.
as he meandered, would it not have
been the duty of City Attorney Nye,
in his official capacity, to advise Vigus
TO swat not lest he be swatted? Fur
Their. suppose Mr.. Nye had let go a
right hook on the point of Fernstrom's
auburn whiskers, would he have done
50 in his official capacity, or merely as
a private citizen?
These are points which the laymen
would like very much to have eluci-
dated. Could Nye, as d private citi-
zen. be prosecuted by Nye, the city
attorney? Could Nye, the city attor-
ney, disengage himself from his Office
long enough to appear as a common
defendant in police court? Alas! the
more The Herald considers the case,
the worse the tangle appears.
Behold how good and how pleasant
il is for brethren to dwell together in
unity" Let us hope that hereafter
there viii be no threats at punching.
The best way is to make no threats
at all, but to reserve all energy posi-
bic for the weIl-directed punch. And,
If punching there must be. to para
phrase a wen-remembered ditty:
Punch. brothers. punch with care;
Punch in the nose and pull out the hair.
\ blue-black eye for small affair
4 well bruised ear for a wOrdy scare.
Punch, brothers; punch, brothers. punch
with care.
Some little simple rule like this
would add considerably to the gayety
of the festive occasions, and couldn't
possibly harm the contestants.

SALT LAKES LARGE TASK.

THE HERALD has no desire to pose
as an alarmist. but it desires to
call attention now TO matter that is
being overlooked by numbers of citizens
in connection with the meeting Of the
grand lodge of Elks next month. That
is the problem of feeding the thousands
of strangers. 1t is said that there are
$50 Elk lodges in the United States.
Conservative people estimate that each
one Of these lodges will send an aver
age Of twelve members to Salt Lake
a little multiplication gives total
of 1850 Eiks Now. it is estimated that
there will be one outsider for every
Elk. possibly more. But in order to
make the figures as conservative as
possible, say that only 5000 people will
take advantage of the extraordinarily
low railroad rates that have been
granted for the occasion. That makes
more than 5000 people. How are they
to be fed?
All of the restaurants and all of the
hotels in Salt Lake have been consult
ed. and the figures returned show that
they can feed about 5000 people daily.
To this add 1000. an outside estimate,
who will be taken care of in boarding
houses and private families, and there
are still 5000 to be looked after. Some
relief Will be furnished if the churches
take hold of the matter. The various
societies of women can start eating
houses and maintain them through
the convention and feed perhaps $500
more.
1t is apparent that steps must be
taken Immediately to provide more
restaurant capacity. The Elks are said
not to care much about sleep, but they
must have something to eat. And ar
engagements must be made for shipping
in supplies in enormous quantities.
The matter cannot safely be deferred
Fifteen thousand people will consume
a prodigious amount of food. They will
eat in day a supply that would or
dinarily tide the city over for day or
two, for it must be remembered that,
in addition to the strangers, the home
folks must have accommodations also.
The Herald has no doubt that the
capable gentlemen in charge of the
convention have considered this mat
ter and that they will devise some
method of solving the problem. 1t is to
citizens generally and to business men
that these words are specially directed.
The executive committee can do moth
ing without cordial cooperation from
all classes. 1t is important, therefore,
that every individual be made to real
lie the magnitude of next months
events and the necessity of his per-
sonal effort to help the EIks handle the
crowd.
