MONDAY. FEBRUARY 20. 1905.
The emasculated morality leader
was given notice to head in on
his attempt to throw the republican
party in the coming municipal cam
paign. Those little IOU's which the
republican office holders hold for the
stock of that concern are most po-
tent in making that editor behave.
1t is a shame to have 5000 thrown
in a rat hole in that manner.

and can do business. The public
will take this statement with consid-
erable reluctance, for fear that the
next issue will take back the asser-
tion. From the statement, the reas-
enable deduction would be that 1t is
suffering from lack of business.

The self-appointed organ of purity,
which a few weeks ago was aching
for a citizens ticket and hardly
thought that it was necessary for
the republicans to nominate a tick
ct. is now slamming it at the mem
bers of the law and order league for
its dark-lantern methods, pursued to
get a ticket in the field. We regard
this as a real mean action on the
part of the sactified editor who led
the leaguers to believe he was with
them until ordered by the republican
machine to shut up" until told what
to do. That he is obeying orders is
most evident.

to care who knows he is a Standard
Oil creature. He acknowledges open
ly in his report that oil products in
this state is entirely under the con
troll of that company and that pro
duction has steadily decreased,
which is always the policy of that
company. yet he opposes the bill to
erect refinery in this state. Gov
ernor Adams would be doing the
public a great favor to terminate the
tenure of Office of this individual at
once, even though he must select
one for a short time only man
who so openly acknowledges his sub
serviency to the Standard Oil Com
pany is not a fit man to foster the
oil industry.

1t is a shame to play the hypo-
critic with genuine christian gentle
men, like we know the officers of the
law and order league to be. They
have been led to believe all along
that when the time came for them
to place a ticket in the field that
the moral organ would be on their
side. But to have 1t shot into
them, as was done in the issue of the
other paper a few nights ago, one
might believe them in the Guy
Fawkes class or genuine holdups.
They were charged with an attempt
to place ticket in the field through
dark lantern methods. and, from the
article, one might believe that the
methods adopted by the law and or
der league were beneath the consid-
Grafton of gentlemen. The truth of
the matter is that the meeting was
held to test the sentiment in favor
of one or more candidates. and was
just as natural and honorable as the
many meetings of the big joss of
the big five" held in Canon block,
usually on Sabbath evening. Almost
anyone hates a half-baked and hypo-
critical individual and the actions
and matters appearing in the prefer
vid moral sheet. stamps that hybrid
editor as such.
For the first time in the city's
history a gentlemen's hat opening
was given at sampliner's Saturday.
Dealers in Dunlap hats, known the
world over as the correct style for
gentlemen. are compelled to abide the
rules of the Dunlap people. not to
sell one hat before the hat goes on
sale at every other hat emporium in
the country. on a day designated by
the Dunlap people. Saturday the
front window of the Sampliner store
contained a splendid display of the
Dunlap hats. in soft. stiff and silk
hats. Quite a levee was held in
the Sampliner store during the day
as persons gathered to examine and
discuss the Dunlap display. the first
made in any city or town on the
western slope. Messrs. Sampliner
VIII from now forward continue to
handle this hat exclusively in the
