SOMETHING GRoTesQUE.
HiIIs Inpudcnt Attack Upon Presi-
dent Roosevelt.

dent Roosevelt.
In a letter to Ferdinand Ziegel. Presi-
dent of the Commercial Travellers
League. David Bennett hIii assaults the
President in language which. to say the
least, is impertineut from the point OF
view of gentlemen. He accuses the Pres
ident OF .'brag aud buster" and refers
to the "dignified and conservative gen
tleman the Democrats have nominated"
This comes well from the New York
Democrat, generally admitted to be the
foxiest politician and the one most lack
ing in broad craftsmanship in tho Uni
ted States. There is a certain breezi-
ness and impudence exhibited when he
compares his own creature and appointee
to the bench with a man like Theodore
Roosevelt, which commands attention,
IL, at the sa me time. the very opposite
Of respect. This one thing may be. at
least, said OF David Bennett Hill, who
is now the entire Democratic party in
the United States and whose creature is
the party's candidate. that he has ever
the brazenness OF his non-convictions.
He has a certain clever wordiness, too.
But facts are facts. and facts are
stubborn things. David Bennett Hill Is
practically directing the course of the
Democratic party. His own henchman,
his political manager In New York, Al
ton B. Parker. is the man installed by
him as the Democratic candidate for the
Presidency, a passable juriss, possibly,
a shrewd political manager: certainly. q
man unheard of generally until his own
er nominated him as the candidate for
the Presidency of a decadent party.
But to talk of him as President is
absurd. David Bennett Hill is certainly
"plunger" with his vassals in politics.

down the flag in the Philippines. it may
be said the Stars and Stripes has never

He tried his best to please her Put

and she would SIT behind her palm leaf

But she liked Jim for all that. and l

Itwas found, upon Investigation, that
there was not sufficient data at hand
from which the sources " supply, their
availability and the manner ana cost or

conceded that the sources OF supply
would be from the streams lowing IN

quested to make such investigation OF

SEWER FOR WEST SIDE.
while investigating the water ques-
ton the attention OF this committee
has been repeatedly called 10 the neces-
slty OF seWerlng the southern and vest
ern portions OF the city below the gray-
fly sewer The land IN those parts OF
the city being low. with water
near the surface u Is al-
most impossible Tor the people
TO have proper cesspools, and therefore
the need Of sewer system is most
imperative This cannot be properly
accomplished with the present made
ouate supply OF water but when the
supply Is Increased. as contemplated
by this report, we think that provision
should be made for the construction Of
sewer system FOR the lower part Of
the city which previous estimates Of
the city engineer show viii cost about
$4,000
Your committee therefore recommends
that the plan for increasing the water
supply Of the city, as outlined IN this
report De adopted and that proper
seWerIng be provided for the lower part
Of the city. Tho committee also recom-
mends that % proposition be submitted
% the taxpayers OF salt Lake city TO
authorize a bond issue Of $4,000, for
the proposed Increase Of the water nip-
ply and also that o proposition be SUBJ
mittcd authorizing a bond issue Of $780,

making q total bond issue of 81 900, 900,
bearing interest at the rate Of per
