THE DANDELIoN NUISANCE.

Colorado Springs Gazette
About a year ago a good deal was
said OF the dandelion nuisance, and
many suggestions were offered as TO
how 1t could be abated The people
were advised to pick the flowers be-
fore they went to seed, a method that
would not kill the plant, but would at
least prevent reproduction. Somebody
suggested grubbing the plant up and
pouring gasoline on the root which re-
NAMED in the ground. 1t Is hard to
pull the dandelon plant up roots and
ALL for the roots are hong and tena-
cious, and II any of them remain In
the ground the plant Is pretty sure TO
spring up again. 1t seems to US that
the easiest way, and the one most
likely to be effective In the end, is to
pick the flowers. This leaves the plant
with It's unsightly leaves, but only for
season, for II a thorough job of dan
delion-flower picking Is done there will
be comparatively few OF the plants
next year

the FIRST time one OF new batch or

was coat shirt that opened all the
way down the front,
He got into the house without 100
much noise, and congratulated hilnSeh
that Mrs. Statesman would know noun
Ing about his c>Odition He found much
didlculty I'm getting of his shirt. He
tried many ways. but could make no
headway He struggled for half an
hour and then called to his wife. VINO
was sleeping IN an adjoining room :;
MY dear. I'm sorry to disturb you,
but / wish you would come here and
tell me how to get off this shirt
Mrs. Statesman came In and looked
him over What is the troubleY' she
asked suspiciously.
Il cannot get off this new-fangled
shirt you bought me. / do not approve

WHEN CANNON WENT TO
CHURCH.

New York World
Last Sunday Speaker Cannon was
moved to go to church. He said 10 his
secretary: Busbey. let's go to church
this morning"
''All right" Busbey ossented, where
shall we go9"
The Speaker thought deeply. After
he had considered the matter, he
said; "Td like to hear some good
Presbyterian preaching"
They went to a Presbyterian church.
The regular minister did not preach,
but in his place there was preacher
from Glasgow, who not only had
plenty of burr on his speech but
preached strictly orthodox sermon
that rather bored Uncle Joe.
As the Speaker came out of the
church the wife of the regular min
lister shook hands with him and said
Mr.. Cannon. l am very glad that You
came here today. You must come
again and hear my husband preach. ."
Madame" replied the speaker. "I
shall. | have no hesitation in saying
that your husband can give that fel-

a candidate for Office in his State and

that you did II without proper investi-

No Republican or Democrat need
feel that he Is less a National Republi-
can or National Democrat because In
Utah he refuses TO ally himself with
the church quorum which has stolen
his party name. On the contrary II
he measures his devotion to his party
by loyalty rather than by mere name,
he should feel that his first duty Is to
repudiate Smootsm and enfranchise his
party from bondage. That man Is
better National Republican or a better
National Democrat who refuses to al
low through any act of his own his
party's name to cover the offenses of
church rule within the State Ma
tional party name should not be lightly
cast aside: but National party name
should not be locally borne by any cit
izen when that name Is misrepresenta-
tive of all the principles for which his
party stands. and all the dignity of his
National organization. Every Republi-
can and every Democrat in Utah knows
that his National party would not
knowingly condone the political crimes
and disloyal offenses which are COM
mitted here with party name as a
shield. The true Republican and the
true Democrat Will repudiate Smoot-
ism: and after the fight against the
unholy conjunction of church and
state shall have been waged and won
the parties may build themselves anew
here upon their National principles

THE CITY,s CONDITION.

The obvious thing which VIII con-
front any candid and thoughtful cXami-
nation OF the city's finances for the
first four months of the American ad
mInistration, Is the decrease In rev.
enues. This shortage is chiefly In the
two funds. the contingent fund. which
has shrunk s43. 1855 and the street and
sidewalk fund, which has shrunk s25,-
1929, Shrinkage In the two OF
sos. .05aS3 out OF total decrease of
S74,5l719
The street and sidewalk decrease Is
simply n cessation OF collections be-
cause the improvements could not 60 on
during the winter season. but the
Morris administration had no such
mercy: It pressed collections Just the
same one time OF the year as another,
and although there was last year
loud public protest against this, and
demand that money collected, and
which could not be used for months. be
returned, 1t was not done, This Will
fully and satisfactorily account for up
wards of twenty-five thousand dollars
of the shortage in aggregate receipts on
this head
Another considerable source of fall
ing off in revenue Is from gambling,
Last year the Morris administration al
lowed gambling to go on unrestrained,
and collected from that nefarious vice
regular sums which amounted to
licensing of the evil and horror. Trea-
surer Swenson estimates the loss OF
revenue on gambling at $4,000 month,
or $4,000 for the four months, 1t Is
probable that his estimate Is below the
actually; and 1t does not include all
the forms of this vice, as the slot ma
chimes and the minor devices Wa
doubt II three thousand a month would
make good the losses of revenue on all
combined. We cannot suppress evils
and also at the same time enjoy profit
from their operation.
Turning now to the expenditure, we
find that there has been an increase Of
s56, ,290,l2. What has made this Increase?
First of all. there Is an Item OF
500 900 interest on the water bonds,
which the Morris administration should
have paid last December but which 1t
chose rather TO turn over as an unWel-
come legacy to its successor. Then
there is a difference Of 500, ,S66.94 In the
transfers on street and sidewalk &C
count, s2SS5 this year against $50 last
year on account of damages; S2500 for
Juvenile court, against nothing last
year; Sl490 for new fling cases that
were needed by the Recorder, and 5000
for cages in the Treasurer's office, In
all amounting to $50, 1924. bringing the
general expenditures that could be
compared with last year little below
last years expenditures.
The account should be a very salts
factory one to those who count honesty
and virtue worth anything, The vice
that was fostered under the Morris ad-
ministration, and from which many
thousands of dollars were derived, has
been abated, and crime has been prac-
tically put down. The city is fully pre-
pared In all this to fervently respond to
the cry. Thank God for the American
party
