Some are of the opinion that the Eddy
agents played into the critics hands by
refusing to comply with his wishes.
And yet it may be that they are not
averse to profit by the advertisement

Chief Paul has rendered his res
ignation as chief of the police depart
ment. During his incumbency public
peace has been frequently disturbed by
thugs and midnight assassins, gam
bling has been carried on, the saloons
violated the laws, and public morality
in certain quarters was at a very low
ebb. But other cities of the size of
Salt Lake are just as bad, and many
great deal worse. Why all existing
evils should be shouldered on the police
chief seems a little strange. There
is no proof that he connived at wrong
doing of any kind. or that he was ever
attracted to any of the stylish gam
bling parlors. He did his best, and if
he did not suit all he should not wor-

That was royal battle which took
place last week between the two most
powerful elements in nature-fire and
water. Like a war between nations. it
required but little to start it. but when
once started it was brief but fierce, and
the fire was victorious. All the eff
forts of the water were futile after
the fire got a good start. Instead of
checking the fire, it was converted into
steam. Water advocates claim that the
fire won the battle because the former
element was too late in entering the
battlefield, and, secondly, because
there was not enough of it. In fair
encounter, without artificial means. a
philosopher was asked: Which of the
elements would conquer. The good book
tells that fire will gain the final vic
tory.

The city fathers are greatly disturbed
over the prospect of losing control of
the waterworks. They realize the in
conveniences arising from want of suf-
icient water, but fail TO see their own
inability to provide for all emergen-
cies. They consider their dignity low
cred by intruders, or meddlers, but for
get that they are only the servants of
these same gentlemen. The motto
should be Water at any COST" and
if the means devised by the CONNER
cial club are the best possible ones at
present, the bill creating a water COM
mission should become a law. In
the meantime the city fathers will learn
to possess their souls in peace. All will

THE PoPE's ADMoNITIoN,

a Catholic newspaper in a parish is a
perpetual mission. Let all who truly and
from their souls desire that religion and
society defended by human intellect and
literature should flourish, strive by their
liberality to guard and protect the
Catholic press, and let every one in pro-
portion to his income support them with
his money and influence, for to those
who devote themselves to the Catholic
press we ought by all means to bring
helps of this kind. without which their
Industry will either have no results or
uncertain and miserable ones.
