Come, come, Mr.. Bronson, don't
deal in generalities. How do you
know all those direful things that
you predict in that glittering open
ing gun entitled a Reasonable
Plot" are going to occur? Upon
what authority do you speak, Can
not you give the regular republicans
credit for being good losers? Why,
man, there are hundreds of republi-
cans in the ranks of the regulars
who carried the banner of republi-
canism in those populistic days
when it took nerve to be a republi.
can and who faced defeat year after
year without faltering and who con-
tinued to advocate the principles of
the great party until fortune at last
smiled upon them. Are these men
all vi Suducu w TURN t1dltOTS
because they did not have their way
in their own party convention? Go
on, your article sounds like the wall
of lost soal. They are all Craw-
ford republicans and were so from
the time the state convention closed.
Anybody can be republican in the
days of success, but where were the
people you claim to represent in
those troublesome days of populism
in the days of free silver? Ask
any OF the old timers and they will
tell you that every man jack of them
was fighting the republican party
tooth and nail. Now, according to
you, they represent the only true
brand of republicanism, while those
who bore the burden in the heat of
of the day are traitors, plotting
treason against their own party.
Rot, rot. Cheer up, brighter hours
will come.

You give a woman $40 and then Dor

You waive the question whether she
ever had SO and ask her II she has
$40 now. and finally get reluctant
admission that she is penniless. Then
you follow rp the inquiry and discover
that she has bought nothing. Then you
are ready with the final charge, What,

abouts of two of its highest officials
unknown to the authorities, the Mil
waukee Avenue State bank, one Of
the largest outlying banks in the city,

SIMMER c. c. Jones. In the excite
ment following the closing of the
bank, j. G. Wiser, an official of the
Royal League, who had on deposit in
the bank funds of that organization,
fell dead of heart failure.
RiotcIs scenes attended the an
nouncement of the failure and large
force of police struggled all day to
keep an excited crowd Of depositors-
nearly all of them foreigners and
many Of them women-from rushing
the doors of the institution. The fact
that the bank was on the verge OF

suing of warrant for his arrest on
charge Of embezzlement. A message
ordering his apprehension was sent to
every police station in the city.
First Intinnation Of Trouble.
The first public intimation that the
bank was In trouble was the posting
of notice at the beginning of bank
ing hours by Bank Examiner c. c.
Jones, stating that business had been
suspended for the purpose Of making
an examination of the banks affairs
and that the institution was in the
hands of the state auditor. The news
spread rapidly throughout the entire

admission Anticipating trouble a
score of police was sent to the scene.
The crowd steadily increased The
people were permitted to file past the
doors bearing the posted notice and
were compelled to keep moving. Only
those having keys to safety deposit
vaults were allowed to enter. Many
burst into tears when they found that
their savings were endangered or lost.

HOW TO SEE THE PRESIDENT.

A great many people, like Mrs. Morris,
have difficulty in obtaining an audience
with President Roosevelt. If they are so
fortunate as to get past the White House
door they are almost instantly fired out
again by some hired man, and the pres
ident doesn't even know that they
called.
Now, it is easy enough to get to the
president If you go about it the right
way. There are several right ways, but
perhaps the best is to rig out as cow
boy, ride your brOncho into the White
House hall and proceed to shoot up the
place. IF you call in the evening, shoot
out the lights. When the hired man ap-
pears make him dance a few steps in
the familiar fashion and then remark:
Now you hustle in to Bad Lands Ted
dy and tell him BObcat Bill wants to see
him real partickler."
But the chances are that the presi-
dent will come running out as soon as
the shooting begins. He knows better
than any one else the music of the whirI-
ing cylinder.
Another less strenuous method Of gain
ing an audience is to disguise yourself
as a guide. \ leather coat and a coon
skin cap viii suffice for makeup, and
the merest hint to the hired man that
Pete, will produce immediate results
even If a cabinet meeting is in progress.
Still another method and one which
ladies might employ is to disguise one
self as a stork A warm welcome is as
sured, and one may enter by any door
or window.
Personally we like best the cowboy en-
trance, and we think that the president
too, prefers it.

ROBERT c. LUND.

1t IS not enough TO say that the death
of Robert G. Lund will be regretted
throughout Utah. His passing will be
generally mourned. It is to be doubted
If there was a better known man in
Utah than Mr.. Lund. His work as a
member of the board of equalization
had taken him into every county Of the
state and IN other official and semi
official positions he had made friends
everywhere Nor was this surprising,
either.
HIS character was unspOtted his dis
position always sunny. He was never
too busy to be courteous and agreea BILE
10 all with whom he came in contact.
He was, in short, the sort of man that
wins real affection. A great tragedy
came into Mr.. Lund's life and dark
ened the last few months of it, even
FASTENED his death, but he bore it as
bravely as he had borne his other trials.
He slept one night by the side Of a
brother who was very near and very
dear to him. When he was Weakened
IN the morning by the sounds of the
rising household he thought that his
brother still slept. So he dressed with
out noise and, as he was about to leave
the room, the thought came to him that
it was strange that the noises outside
had not wakened his brother. He
stepped over to the bed and placed a
hand on his brothers forehead. It was
cold. The man had been dead several
hours There is little doubt that the
tragedy greatly weakened Mr.. Lund's
resistance when he was stricken later.
We do not believe too much Of good
can be said about him. He was faithful
10 his friends, faithful in his work. true
to his high standards and high ideals.
His death is a loss. not only to those
who were near and dear to him. those
who would have laid down their lives
for him, but to the whole state. Yet
none Of Us win begrudge him the rest
that is now his. for right well did he
earn ii. Our sorrow is for ourselves.
our sympathy for his bereaved family.
May the good God comfort them in
their affiiction.
