Mr.. Barber wants to know The
LEADERS reasons, other than political,
for advocating the reelection of Super
intendent Bethers. That's easy. Toss
ing politics aside, we do not believe any
man is worthy to hold that office who
gets mad and goes off at the half be-
cause he was beaten in the convention.
Mr.. Barber says: "My contention is
again that there is and should be no
politics in the Office of county school,
superintendent" Good! Mr.. Barber
proves this by announcing himself as
an ''Independent REPUBLICAN" can
didate. OF course, he doesn't use the
word Republican" as Il bait for Re-
publican votes He probably uses it
just for fun, We support Mr.. Bethers
because he is in every way worthy of
the office. We should have supported
Mr.. Barber had he secured the nomina-
ton which he sought in Republican
convention-but of course there would
not be any politics in it-not Bit

with having taken the last train across

burning of the bridges by the Confed-
crate forces. He was In Nashville
when the Federal troops successfully
carried Fort Doneson and went out
with the engineer regiment which was

In 1862 Mr.. Dow returned to the east
and engaged In the grocery business at

tered the service Of the railroad COM
pany and for the ensuing six years ran
trains between Louisville and Nash
VILE His health giving way under
the strain. he again left the service OF
the railroad and returned east, where
he remained TIL 1882, when he came to
Salt Lake City.
On coming here he was made warden
OF the penltentiary, which position he
held for four years when change OF
administration caused him TO tender
his resignation During his incumben-
cy the penitentiary was greatly I'M
proved and enlarged, the adobe prison
OF early days giving way to commodl-
GUS stone buildings. II was during this
period that the Edmunds-Turker act
was so vigorously enforced and Mr.,
Dow was brought into close contact
with Mormon" Church leaders, OF
whose conduct while incarcerated he
always spoke In the highest terms.
After reslgning the wardenshlp Mr..
Dow engaged extensively in the sheep
business and when Utah was admitted
into the Union he was reappointed war
den OF the state prison, which posi-
ton he has filed with honor
and credit ever since. For
