City Needs and Revenues
(Chicago Tribune.)

There is no large American city
whose needs do not grow more rapidly
than its revenues. The city officials
are between the upper and the neither
milestone. They are appealed to for
more protection of all kinds-protec-
ton against crime. fire, and disease.
The progress of sanitary science has
made it the duty of municipalities to
spend money lavishly for purposes
which would have seemed fantastic
half century ago. There is con-
slant demand for more schools and
more expensive schooling,
On the other hand many taxpayers
are in perpetual state of ferment.
They complain that they are taxed up
to the limit already and can not stand
greater burdens. They say that the
city never attempts to economize in the
periods of depression when private in
dividuals are cutting Gown expenses
but requires them to contribute as
much as in flush times-if not more.
Chicago officials look with envious
eyes at the greater New York-at the
big police force and at the larger APP
propriations for the fire department

The Elevated Hat
(Walla Walla Union.

Chicago is discussing the propriety
of gentleman removing his hat in a
public elevator when there is a woman
in it. In the midst of the discussion
appears the pink whiskers and tousled
hair of Col. Jim Ham Lewis with the
declaration that "to raise the hat in a
public elevator is a silly, insane aping
of something that is not courtesy at
all, but only boorish imagination"
That ought to settle the question for
all time, particularly as Col. Jim Ham
let down he bars over which he or any
other gentleman can walk into the
good graces of all by adding: For
myself l sever remove my hat when in
public elevator, except when an old
woman enters Col. Jim Ham did not
tell how many years must have passed
over her head before he would consider
woman old. They are all young in
the eyes of most men.

The Flowers of Utah and Idaho

We have heard Mcconnell and

Of their companions who go as Smoot
witnesses, called many names-pictur-
esque names, explosive names, truth
full names. libelous names, reproachful
names, sardonic names, clamorous

are regarded as a challenge to mortal
combat--but 1t remained for Apostle
Smoot to call them by sweet scented

like unto that of vestal, his almost
prudish language! Why, if Mcconnell
knew anything bad about Smoot or
anybody else, his lips would be too
chastely delicate to utter it. All! there
before the committee stands
"A most unspotted lily"
breathing from its perfumed chalice its
alteration of the holy one.
And HoltzheimV! He, too. Is 6

he is "a violet by a messy stone
