THE ARMY OF GRAFT"

The Wall Street Journal Of oct. IA

tlcle on "The Army OF Graft 1t Is in

Graft Is not pretty word nor is

A FRUITFUL VALE.

We publish today a letter from our
correspondent In the Teton Basin

widely known and still less appreciated

fore has been TO some extent avoided
by home-seekers from other parts OF
the country, That II is well adapted for
that industry Is generally acknowledge
cd, but 1t appears from the letter of our
correspondent that grain and SINAI,
fruits are raised there now in abund-
ance, and that there are prospects
which are very bright for the cultiva-
tion OF general crops, and the building
of happy homes IN the Teton Valley.
We are not urging our friends who
have comfortable habitations In Utah
and the means of gaining fair living,
to go to distant places and endure the
Inconvenience and hardships OF a new
~ settled region but there are people
who have no house or land Of their own
and who are wisely seeking for good
points OF location, and we suggest TO
them that, among other places, the Te-
ton Valley is worthy OF their considera-
ton. Its history is similar to that of
other valleys which have been set.
tied by the Latter-day SAINTS, The ci-
mate has been modified, the water for
Irrigation has increasedi the elements
have become more pregnant with vi
tally, repeated efforts to cultivate the
products of field and farm and garden

difficulties attending the settlement Of
newly opened districts have been over
come; and now land and the necessary
water therefor can be obtained at small
outlay, and there are opportunities Tor
acquiring homes that do not present
themselves In older settled places.
our Teton letter is commended to the
attention OF people, everywhere, who
want to move to a wider field Of oper-
alton and to combine the raising "

DON'T GET EXCITED.


According to calculations or at
any rate the u. tensions, of both the
great politicel $ engaged in the
present munioi ampalgn, the regis
tratlon today has been In their favor.
They each claim the preponderance of
voters registered. II we believe their
statements. both tickets viii be elect
ed next Tuesday. A few individuals
VIII probably be influenced by these as
sertions. but the great majority OF the
citizens Of Salt Lake viii pass by those
boastings as the usual buncombe in
dulgcd In AT times like these,
The proper thing for thoughtful peo-
pie TO do Is to pay no attention TO the
swild rumors, sensational stories, gross
exaggerations and personal attacks
that ,are INDUCED IN by professional
politicians. Whether by word OF mouth
or through the press, The excitement
sought to be aroused by sensational ut
terances IL of no real value, and ought
not to influence rejecting minds. II
Is better TO keep cool and use ones own
Judgment as TO the exercise OF the
elective franchise than TO be swayed by
the shouting and excessive zeal OF ex-
treme partlsans.
Respectable citizens OF all creeds, par
ties and persunslons want first Of all, a
reliable, honest and capable city govern
ment. That purpose stands In view above
all personal or party considerations.
The order, peace, prosperity and steady
growth and progress of the city ace
the great objects to be attained, and
their maintenance is OF the very gray
est importance. We believe that this IL
becoming more and more deeply I'M
pressed upon the minds of the pernia-
nent residents within this municipality.
as the time for the election OF this
year approaches,
We advise our friends to abstain
from engaging In the disputes ond
strifes and folies which usually at
tend a contested election, lnd 70 pass
by with a smile or a feeling of con-
tempt, as the case may suggest, the UNI
reliable and often vicious mouthlngs
of the touters en- either side, who make
great noise but reflect no clelI light
on the situation and are no guides for
decent citizens TO follow. Vote for the
best and iittest men to MI the positions
to be occupied, and use the ballot like
true and free American citizens, deslr-
ing the general welfare ana the adj
vancement In every respect of our love-
ly and beloved city and state.
