Lennie Merrill, popular guide at
Belgrade lakes, is responsible Tor the
following one on US 'city folks.
"Of course we know that you city
folks have lots of chance to laugh at
us hayseeders, but once in a while the
laugh is on our side. I never was SO
tickled in my life as I was last sum-

much less than they were under Mayor
Norris. One effort of economy has been
made, and that is by letting dirt accu-
mulate on the streets until they would
be a disgrace to any Podunk of a coun-
try town. The garbage collections have
been made on the Ebert Hubbard plan
every little while; the whole admin
istration OF the public service depart
ments has been lax. inefficient, dis
graceful. But then, the mayor is busy
struggling with an effort to get Jobs for
his patriots" and 1t is hardly fair to
expect him to spend much time on the
real work Of the mayors office until he
has fixed the question OF patronage.
That will be within a year, say, if he is
lucky-and the funds hold out.

FISHER HARRIS TRIP.

The Honorable Fisher Harris is soon
to start on a tour in the interest Of the
"See America First" movement. The
organization is to be congratulated on
the fact, and the people who are to
hear Mr.. Harris discourse on the scenic
possibilities Of their own land are enti-
tied to hearty Fluctuations. Mr.. Harris
will tell of our mountains high where
the clear blue sky arches over the wales
Of the free" he will describe the spots
where the pre- breezes blow and the
clear streamlets f1ow," and he will do
it so forcefully that he cannot fail to
command respectful attention.
Salt Lakers and others who know
Mr.. Harris VIII really envy the people
who are to hear him. It has been his
pleasure 10 sit in the shadow Of the
Sphinx and mediate on the inability of
Utah legislatures to pick the right man
for senator; he has driven in triumph
down the Bots de Bologne in Paris; he
has wandered through Westminster
Abbey and pondered on the fleeting
quality Of greatness; he has breasted
the breakers of the stormy Atlantic and
gazed out upon the placid purple of the
peerless Pacific.
But, fellow countrymen, Mr.. Harris will
tell his raptly attentive audiences that
there is nothing in Europe or Egypt,
nothing anywhere in the wide, wide
world, to compare with the scenic Won
ders of our own fair land. He will tell
them of mountain peaks that pierce the
empyrean blue, Of limpid streams that
simmer in sun-kissed mist along
scared canyon sides, Of great valleys
rich with growing grain, Of cattle upon
thousands Of hills, Of sunset afterglows
and glorious dawns. With a wealth Of
metaphor Mr.. Harris will describe these
things.
Really, fellow citizens. we look con-
fidently forward to the day of Mr.. Har-
ris' return. Upon poor little flute the
Pied Piper of Hamlin played a merry
tune and all the children followed him
over the hills and far away. How much
greater is the instrument upon which
Mr.. Harris viii play! When he comes
back there'n be a string of people fol-
lowing him that viii reach from Chica-
go to Salt Lake, anyway, and perhaps
from Salt Lake to New York.
Mr.. Harris, we looks toward you.
and wishes you happy journey and a

TYPIcALLY "AMERIcAN."

The position taken by Mayor Thomp-
son in the matter of the engineer at the
city and county building is typically
a rap whether or not the man to be
selected is competent; he asks for no
credentials as to his capability. All he
wants is a recommendation from the
candidates ward or district leader, a
statement to the effect that the candi-
date voted the American ticket at the
last election and worked hard for 1t.
If the candidate measures up to this
standard, and if he happens to be a
competent man, the city and county
will be lucky. If he is a good "Ameri-
can" and not a competent engineer. he
will suit Mayor Thompson just the
same So the members Of the joint
building board of control are in a dead
lock. there being three from the city
and three from the county.
One of the candidates is a man who
has had ten years experience in the
joint building engine room. During that
time he has acted as assistant to Law
renee LIl6 ISliIGu CilSAl1EGI- MI Law
renee, whose integrity and ability can
not be questioned, says this candidate
is in every way qualified. Mr.. Lawrence
is mistaken. The man who has had the
ten years experience is not qualified al
all. He is not member of the Amer

| opinion Of Mayor Thompson, to even
| consider his application for the place

THE GRAB FOR SALARIES.

1t would be we'll for the people of Salt
Lake to keep an eye on the reform"
administration of city affairs, particu-
larry on its grab for the funds and it's
additions to the city salary list wher-
ever an excuse may be found for the
appointment Of patriot to job. The
run on the treasury so far has been
limited to a few places; the others are
sitting around watching to see how
these come out and follow suit if there
is no protest.
One or two instances VIII suffice to
illustrate: The city health officer has
managed until this administration. to
get along pretty we'll with the regular
force. OF course, the head OF the de-
partment has had to work himself but
since he draws a good salary that
would be expected-except of a patriot.
DR.. Stewart hadn't had time to warm
his chair before he applied for an as
sistant, and got one. The assistant will
do the work; both the chief and the
assistant viii draw salaries.
The city auditor, a nice old gentle
man, finds he can't do the work as his
predecessors in office have. so he asks
for a 'bookkeeper." and another salary.

bookkeeper the clerical work Of the
office; both viii draw salaries.
Meanwhile, the city revenues are

THE PATTERSON RESOLUTIONS.

Observing the fate that befell Sem
ator Patterson in the debate on his
caucus resolution, one is bound to adj
mire his courage more than his judg-
ment. The traditional bull that defied
the locomotive had much the same
qualities; but his ultimate destination
did not invite a repetition of the expert
ment- The weak point in Senator Pat
terson's position was his plan Of action;
his grievance was against senators of
his own party alone. it was not properly
a subject for an open discussion before
party opponents, and while a family
wash may sometimes be of interest to
outsiders, the exhibition is never a
profitable thing for the family.
It was only natural that the other
Democrats Of the senate should resent
Mr.. Patterson's defiance of the ordinary
courtesies of party discipline and reply
to his attack on them-for his resolu-
lions were a direct attack on the party
leaders who called the caucus. The de-
bate developed the fact that Senator
Patterson had not been averse to eau
Gus rules heretofore. that he had taken
part in a caucus which bound others to
be governed by the twO-thirds rule, and
that he had only discovered his aver
sion to such rules when he found it
would embarrass him. Even then, as
Senator Bailey observed, there was
nothing to prevent him from leaving
the caucus, but in so doing he could
expect to take the consequences of in
dependent action against his own party
councils.
The inability to secure united action
on important questions has been one of
the elements of weakness in the Demo-
cratic party: and while it has been due
to the strong convictions and individual
independence of Democrats. it has also
served to make Republican success
easier and Republican control more ar
Togant. Just now. Of all times in the
history of the country, there is need OF
a strong. welI-disciplined minority. The
president is riding rOugh-shod over all
constitutional limitations Of his power;
he is interfering in legislative and other
departmental affairs, which should be
free from executive interference; in the
Algeciras conference, he is ignoring all
traditions of the nation, from Washing
tons day down, and mourning the pos
sibility Of those foreign complications
which the fathers of the country meant
should be avoided. In Panama he has
taken upon himself powers which con-
gress never should have delegated, and
in all the affairs of the government he
has defied the constitutional barriers
10 executive aggrandizement which
have sufficed heretofore to restrain the
presidents of the republic.
In such a situation, the minority has
every opportunity to protect the people
and hold in check an arrogant and un-
scrupulous majority, but the opportuni-
ty viii be wasted, the party strength
dissipated, If Democrats repeat Senator
Patterson's exploit and air their party
dissensions on the floor Of the senate
for the encouragement Of their follow
ers and the enjoyment Of their enemies
