of a campaign should be done at the
primaries. Nominate good, clean,
capable men for office and the voters
will go up to the polls and vote their
politics, regardless of church or any
other influence. If it is a fact that the
Gentiles are doing most of the bust
ness of the community, it is not to be
wondered at that the "Mormons" find
time to attend primaries and do your
preliminary work for you.
AS for the schools of the city, they
are not under Mormon" control and
have not been for number of years.
On the contrary, a recent canvass OF
the schools of the city shows that at
the present time 80 per cent OF the
teachers employed are Gentiles. If
that 80 per cent cannot hold the other
| 10 per cent down and prevent any
serious mischief, then what we want
| is a better and more intelligent class
| of Gentiles to draw from.
The fact of the matter is, conditions
in Salt Lake City today do not offer
one scintilla of excuse for the exist
ance of the American party, and the
men at the back of 1t long ago ran
out of reasons" and are already blaz-

TO GENTLE REPUBLICANS.

What was the American" party or
ganized for? You are told by the or
gan of that party that it was because
of the absolute control which the
"Mormons" insist on maintaining over
all business of the city and state; that
it was because of the control which
the so-called hierarchy Yields over the
politics of the community; that it was
because members of that faith con-
troll the schools of the state and OF
the city, ETC., etc. OF course, you
have been told that this is all moon
shine, that there is absolutely moth
ing in it, but you do not believe ii
We want to tell it to you again, and
we want to prove it to you. In the
first place, taking the statement of the
Tribune for it, as published in last
Thursdays issue, it is, indeed, re
markable that the "Mormons" can
make no better showing than they are
accredited by the Tribune with max
ing. According to their statement
more than 80 per cent of the business
property on Main, First, Second and
Third South streets is owned and oc
cupied by Gentiles. Accepting their
statement further, every modern
business block and tenement build
ing in the city, except the Deseret
News block and the Templeton, be
long to Gentiles. To use their words
for it: The Gentiles own the prop
erty in Zion" The Gentiles not only
own the property in Zion, but they alb
solutely control every branch of bust
ness and industry in the city. Wha
becomes of the Tribune's early claim!
of Mormon" domination in the face
of their Thursday morning confession
and in the face of the further fac
that the dry goods business, the gro
Gerry business, clothing business
butchers, bakers, jewellers, hardware
glassware, furniture and every othel
business in the city, except probabl!
the agricultural implement, and in
Guiding all of the leading professions
are almost entirely in the hands o
Gentiles? What do they want? Ger
tainly nothing more in that line.
AS to the matter of Mormon" con
troll in politics, granting for the SAKE
OF argument that there is such
thing, didn't you ever stop to thinl
of a cause for such condition othe
than Church influence" and apps
tolic interference? Ask yourself thu
question: How many of the en-
thusiasts of election day turn out t
the primaries and do the preliminar,
work so essential to a successful cam
paign?" Your answer may be tina
that has nothing to do with the fina
outcome, but it has; it has every

A GOOD STORY.

looked around and saw man car
rying under his arm number OF
small whips.
He was surrounded by group OF
boys, who, not having money to pur-
chase, were looking on with wistful
eyes.
Curious to ascertain whether the
man could earn a livelihood In this
occupation, watched him for nearly
an hour, at the end of which time he
had already sold six.
The first was purchased by wo-
man of pleasing appearance for lit
tie boy about two years old, whose
first employment of it was in striking
his mother.
Another child, walking with its
nurse, also bought one and immediate
ly began to whip little stray dog
that was looking for its master.
Another, rather older than the
lothers, after making a similar pur-
chase, laid it on the back OF some
sheep which butchers boy was driv'
| ing to a slaughter house.
A fourth quickly forced poor cat
to take refuge in the shop from which
she had just ventured.
The fifth, bad-looling fellow, bar
gained for one, and then refused to
buy it because it would not give suffi'
cient pain.
| | was disguised with this cruelty,
and was just turning away when !
saw a kind-looking man, who was hold
ing a little boy by the hand, stop to
purchase one, but a sign from me
made him change his purpose. He
passed on and l followed him.
Sir" said l, excuse the liberty ]
have taken. l think you have done
well not to place whip in your little
boys hand, lest it should have pro-
duced in him love Of giving pain, to
which, Judging from his countenance
he is as yet stranger"

preached the end of the street, which
made rapid descent, lat those two
wretched horses, which can hardly
keep their footing on the slippery
pavement-see how cruelty the driver

they move and how they are covered
with sweat. You may be sure theiI
driver had whip for his first toy"
You are right" he said.
YES" said l, "a man, naturally
harsh and cruel, becomes still more sc
by his education. He begins as g
boy by iiogging his wooden horse, and

Hoodoo Window in the Post Office.

Dozens of times in his long term Of
Office Postmaster Van Colt was asked
to change the number of the principal
delivery window in the money order
department to some other number than
"13." No money is ever paid in at
that window, but orders for hundreds
of dollars, which are cashed at the
next window, have passed through it
every business day for a great many
years.
"Surely you don't believe in that
thirteen foolish1vess?" was the Post
masters joking reply, whenever he
was spoken to about it, and the hoodoo
number remained. Not long ago a
man asked of the clerk behind the
window:
do you find that 13 a hoodoo?"
The clerk looked up quickly.s IT
shouldn't like to say whether I do or
not" he said. "a good many persons
have asked me that question:"
WELL" said the questioner, "per-
haps the influence will get around to
the old man some day, and then he'll
think it is."-New York Press.

USES OF LEMONS.

A teaspoonfuI.o Tenor. juice In a
small cup of black coffee will relieve
bilious headache.
Two or three slices of lemon in q
cup Of strong tea will cure a nervous
headache.
Lemon juice is better than any drug
or complexion powder for giving per-
manent beauty and clearness to the
skin.
Lemon juice Outward application
will allay the irritation caused by the
bites of insects.
A dash of lemon in plain water is an
excellent tooth wash. It not only re-
moves tartar but sweetens the breath.
The juice of a lemon taken in hot
water on awakening in the morning
is an excellent liver corrective, and for
stout women is better than any anti
fat medicine ever invented.-The In

SALADS

It used to be considered very
Frenchy and foreign to have salad
with dinner or luncheon. Americans
as a whole wanted regularly their just
deserts, and a green leaf or two more
or less counted for very little.
In the Pie Belt pastry was the nec-
essary garnish for every meal. Down
South there were always famous pud-
dings for the complete epicure, and il
a salad was served at all a decade ago,
it was a ponderous meat affair Of
which an entire indigestible meal was
made. 'ni

wrought out their own punishment,
and everywhere the ~dyspeptic microbe

article of diet, and partly through
their widespread recommendation by
physicians.
