That Citizens Ticket.

The agitation of a Citizens ticket at
the coming city election, coming from
the quarter 1t does, will hardly meet
with the approval Of Republicans,
even those who may be dissatisfied
with the present administration, and
certainly not with those who have at
heart the success of the party in coun-
ty, state and national affairs. Repub-
licans should remember that Demo-
Gratis seldom, If ever, fly the track for
such movements, and that citizens
ticket merely means division of Re-
publican votes and a solid vote Of the
Democrats for their party ticket.
Democrats are loyal to their party
candidates, and Republicans should
not be led into the belief that they are
serious when they say they will sup
port q citizens ticket. If Republic
cans are not satisfied with the men at
the head of affairs in this city at pres
ent, let them 20 in force to their pri-
mares and nominate men whom they
feel sure will be satisfactory. The Re-
publican party contains men of suf-
fcient mental capacity and business
ability to conduct the affairs of the
city properly and there is no necessity
of going outside the party for mem.
bers Of the city council, mayor or
any other CITY official PARTY LOYALTY
in municipal affairs makes possible a
perfect organization in the county,
and success in the county means sue
cess and prosperity nationally.

size as the night passed by. At !
O'Clock In the morning, men engaged
i'm conversation under the bed room
window Of the hotel guest, and from
the trend Of the talk, 1t was discover
ed that one of the men had been at
work for the past month, had earned
upward Of one hundred and fifty dol
lars and that night had lost every
cent of IL, not having enough left to
pay his fare home. II could also be
CLEANED from the talk that the loser
In the game was man Of family.
This Is not an uncommon story, but
should hold moral for all men.
Think OF the loving wife at home
with little ones, who had been wait
ing and perhaps counting the days
for the return Of the husband and
father, perchance had been thinking
about those little things to be pur-
chased for home and family that were
most needed. What chagrin and dis
appointment would be in that little
household when the truth was told
them, and think Of the feelings of the
husband returning home under such
circumstances. Sorrow and remorse
OF conscience were his, and in his
failure to provide for the necessities
Of those dependent upon him would
it be strange If he should do some
thing rash?
Men with limited means, and of
families especially, have no business
around the gambling table, for every
dollar lost means deprivation to the
little ones at home, saying nothing
about the immortality of gaming, and
it may be put down as an infallible rule
that If fortune should favor the in
dividual as a winner, the money so
procured will prove curse, for it
only adds encouragement to engage in
other games in the future, which ul-
timately will wind up with great
losses. Men of all classes and ages,
should shun the gambling room, and
not be lured away with the idea
that easy money will be made. Let
men who profess to be gamblers in
dulge in those games by themselves.
Business and working men, steer clear
of all intrigues which are misleading
and calculated in their nature to
debase and degrade, and take from
men their hard earnings, which is
needed to be spent in the legitimate
expense Of family and home.

The Postal Scandal.

Two things will be noticed In con-
nection with the postal scandals. One
is that the wrongdoers are being sum-
marily DEATH with. The other Is that
most OF them were i'm office before
President Roosevelt entered the
White House, and some of them were
in before Mr., Mckinley was inaugrat-
ed. There is no politics In the irregu-
tarities. Democrats as well rs Repub-
licans are involved in them. The man
whose name has been most conpicious-
ly connected with the scandals, Ma
chen, is democrat. The politics of
the offenders, however, will not be
considered In the matter All will
have to go as soon as detected. What
ever punishment is provided by the
law will be inflicted on all of them, re-

affiliations.
When President Roosevelt returned
to Washington after his recent West
ern trip and learned about the postal
frauds, he directed that an immediate

Just as we were going to press with
our last issue we made brief mention
of L. II. Martineau preferring charge
against the side-show people for en-
gaging in vulgarsms and obsccnity.
We omitted stating that the pro-
test OF Mr.. Martineau was the means
of disseminating the side-show, where
the hoochee- koochiee dance was ex-
hibited. After Mr.. Martineau's pro-
test, Marshal Crockett went to the
manager with the result above stated.
The circus proper was good average
performance, but the operations in
some of the side-shows, and the Ian
guage used to induce people to go into
them were disgusting. While hooche-
koochec dances are frequent in many
of the cities, we believe that they
should not be allowed in this city, and
before license is given to the shows it
should be specified that no lewd
performance of any kind be operated
on the grounds.

That Circus Affair.

In not ordering the gaming device,
and hoochee-koochee side show run ii

shows closed down, Marshal Crockett
and the other city officers come in fol-
considerable share of just criticism
Marshal Crockett states that he ant
Sheriff Rigby were taken through the
shows by the manager, were shown
the gambling devices, ETC., and could
see nothing wrong, yet admits that in
the very nature of things the gaming
done must necessarily come under
the head OF gambling. The sentiment
OF the people Is against gambling, the
laws are also against gambling, and
those devices should have been closed
down before number of suckers were
caught and robbed of their money.
The assertion of the officials that they
could see nothing wrong with the
outfits and the way they were manip-
ulated counts for less than nothing.
II is hardly probable that the opera
tors would give away their method.
The fact that the grafters operated as
secretly as possible was enough to con-
denim them and the officers should
have stopped this graft at the outset.
There Is no excuse for dlatory action.
The conduct Of the hoochee-
koochee people was known to be las
civious and disreputable, and the Ian
guage OF the fakirs advertising this
part of the performance was known
to be outrageously suggestive. That
boys under eighteen were not adj.
mitted Is not sufficient reason for it's
continuance and both advertiser and
show should have been compelled to
quit business much sooner than they
did.
l.. r. Martineau's action In demand
ing the show closed, ETC., Is to be com.
mended. Such action required con-
siderable moral courage-yet Mr.. Mar
tineau might have used less spectacular
methods with the same results. His
language when at the height of in
dignation was hardly less disreputable
than that used by the Snowman, and
his 'scrapping" propensity is to be
no less than Officer Ben
sons disposition to strike Mr.. Fred
Madison when that gentle man made a
statement conflicting wi tn his own.
Ehr affair on the show grounds Fri
day was unfortunate. The show as a
whole was bright, clean and orderly,
free of toughs and DRINKS, and but
for this little side show performance
with its gambling apparatus must
have gone out of here with flying
colors. However, the people Of this
do not want either gamb-
ling or lewd women performers in
their midst, and will not tolerate it.

SeIf-DepreCiatiOn.

'IIere goes another fool" shouted a
man as he jumped from the deck of a
New York ferryboat. BY the time
his body was recovered he was dead,
and his body was carried unrecognizcd
to the morguc. 1t Is most depress-
ing fact that there were between 5000
and 5000 of such fools last year-a
marked increase upon any previous
twelve months. This prevalence of
suicide indicates that a grave national
danger confronts us. In the multi
plicatiOn of our wants, in the increase
OF what we call the necessities" of
life, we are losing sight of the value of
life itself. Men measure themselves
by what they own, and sudden loss
of property therefore brings the value
of existence down TO zero. Others
are overwhelmed by the vastness and
strenuous life Of a great city, and a
sense Of their own insigniticance and
helplessness drives them to self de-
struction. In all these cases the I'M
derlying cause Is lack of self valua-
ton. A man or woman becomes dis
couraged and says: Nobody values
me therefore / amount to nothing
and might better be out of the world"
1t is peculiarly tragic that there
should be so many suicides at the pres
ent time, when all great world move
ment have become so rapid and inter-
esting. Almost every morning we

and rigid investigation should be en-
tered into, and that punishment be
inflicted in every case where wrong
doing was discovered. The Presidents
orders are being carried out to the
letter by Postmaster General and his
assistants. Only few Of the persons
exposed thus far entered their posts
during the incumbency of President
Roosevelt, but this is consideration
which will have no weight with the
administration. Offenders of all sorts
will be proceeded against vigorously.
There will be driving out OF trick
sters, boodlers and incompetents
which will give the country satisfac-
ton. The President Is In thorough
earnest in the work. There can be no
doubt that the same spirit Is enter
tanned by the Postmaster General. A
clean sweep will be made of all the
offenders of every sort. The prompt
ness Of the President in taking hold Of
the work and the candor which he
displayed in telling OF his plans please
the American people. The work will
be done with thoroughness which
will leave no necessity for further
labor of this sort during the remain
ing years of President Roosevelt In
office.

THE REPUBLICAN heartily endorses
a contemporaries remark that "the
person who, in the interest Of moral
ity, performs successful Deceive work
and hunts down criminals deserves
the thanks of the community" That
is all the people are asking at the
present time-that the officials who
are paid to do detective work shall do
it, and then use the information to
bring the criminals to justice. When
they do this, they will have the hearty
support Of the law-abiding citizens
and an active friend In The REPUBLr-
CAN.

One thing is quite noticeable in
Weber county, and that is the UNI
swerying loyalty of the outside set
Elements to their county seat. Weber
county as whole is out for Ogden
first, last and all the time, realizing
that that which tends TO enrich and
build up the metropolis of the county
indirectly benefits them. In the past
when feelings of rivalry arose between
Salt Lake city and Ogden over ad-
vantages of a public nature, every
man in Weber county would talk only
for Ogden. This is a splendid indica-
tion for our adjoining county and
nothing Is more to be desired than
that the same could be said Of Cache

Logan as the county seat, brings bene-
fits and enrichment to the whole OF

the southern states where labor is the

The Evil of Gambling.

a gentleman who was recently
travelling had occasion to stop at a hotel
connected with large ranch, at
which place there is an extensive
shearing plant. About one hundred
men have been employed during the
shearing season, the shearers making
from eight to fourteen dollars per day.
IL was last pay day when the traveller
stopped at the hotel referred to.
Early in the evening the shearers
engaged in a game of poker, for small
stakes, which, however, increased in

The assertion of that eminent ply.
sician DIR. Carr, that lettuce Is an alb
solute preventative of small pox is of
considerable interest. DR.. Carr goes
into the matter technically and of
fers the assurance that people who
are In the habit of eating portion of
lettuce each day are not in the least
danger. He also asserts that celery
and onions are good for this purpose,
also, but that the time elapsing be-
tween their being gathered and being
eaten causes them to lose most of their
anti-scorbutic properties.

Several hundred people attended
the organ recital given by Prof.
Alexander of Wilkes Barre, in the
M. +. Church last Friday night.
The program was interspersed with
vocal solos by Mrs. Harry Barton
and Mr.. O. H. Yetter, and a violin
cello solo by Prof, Alexander, and
with selections by the male quar-
tette, Messrs. Colley, Yost, Ent and

the accompanist. 1t was a very
pleasing program. The organ selec-
tions might have been of a more
popular character if there been
fewer OF the piano and andante
movements, and little more brass

entered into the work of transact

them with a spirit that was exhil-
