The uncanny influence of it's owner
is spread over its policy and now
threatens disaster to the state. There
are many who believe the worst is yet
to come and that the blight and sor-
row which his man Kearns has
brought upon so many will con-
tinue until all who have aided in his
work will pay the penalty. What a
weird story it all is! There are many
who believe, and they are not super
stitious, that there is an evil influence

The Presbyterian church allows poly
gamistic members of the church in
India and China to retain their plur-

The real estate association is pre-
pairing for another graft on the public
in the shape of an excursion to Saltah
on June %. 1t is advertised that $1,000
will be given away, free gratis, for
nothing in the form of prizes; prizes
for doing nothing is a certainty. The
value of the alleged prizes might at
liberal computation amount to $50
and the association expects to rake
in" several thousands of dollars. A
real estate association and an eleemo-
symary association with a bunoo flavor
appear to be synonymous terms.

TRUTHS.

On the front page of this issue OF
Truth appears an article on the paw
ing contract muddle. If Truth might
be pardoned for presuming to make a
suggestion to such high and mighty
personages as Mayor Thompson, Act
ing Mayor Davis, Chairman Leonard
of the board of public works and other
members of that august board, that
suggestion would be that for
the public good that contemplated paw
ing should be commenced without de.
lay. The property owners in many
cases have already paid the money to
defray the cost of the paving and they
and the general public want the paw
ing done right quickly. Contractor
Morans bid was the lowest of the
latest set of bids received, but it was
some $1,000 or $4,000 higher than
the lowest bid among the set of bids
received and rejected last April. There
is general regret that the lowest
April bid was not accepted and the
contract let at that time, in which case
the paving would by this time have
been well under way. Now Truths
suggestion is that Contractor Moran
reduce his bid by the 81 900 or $12,-
600 necessary to bring it down to
the level of the lowest bid made in
April and that the board of public
works and the council show that they
are possessed of at least horse sense,
put aside this play for party advantage
and do something for the people, close
the contract on that basis and let the
work proceed as expeditiously as pos
sible This suggestion is made free
Of charge, but we have an idea it will
meet with favor.
Talking about ex-senator Kearns be-
ing a hoodoo. Elsewhere in this issue
appears some of the facts which go TO
establish Mr.. Kearns reputation as a
hoodoo. Since that was penned an
other gruesome thing has come to our
knowledge that adds to the weight of
evidence. The young man, Mr.. Dris-
coll, a most exemplary young fellow,
who was killed by an explosion in a
soda water mandatory a few days
ago is a near relative of ex-senator
Kearns. Mr.. Kearns was no further
Responsible IOl lndI ulSlTeSSlHS dCCl-
dent than his role as hoodoo con-
meets him with it, but it is one more
fact worthy of consideration. Then
there is Chief Justice Bartch, friend
and supporter of Mr.. Kearns when he
thought it was to his advantage to
play that part, and act as he did as
messenger boy for Kearns. His vision
of fortune which would enable him to
retire from the bench has vanished in
thin air. So have his chances for
remaining on the bench after Deem
Der 81 next, and he has gone to Wash
ington on a wild goose chase to pre-
vent the confirmation of II. E. Booth
as United States District Attorney,
and to secure the place for himself.
