The gentlemen in the party are the best
known and most competent humorists in
America. They are adopts, master crafts
men at their trade. Off the stage their
attitude toward il is as q trade. They
are a serious, hard working group of ex-
perts in the most complicated and diff
cult of all the word handling crafts.
There is nothing cruel or brutal in the
faces in the attitude toward life or in
the work of any one of them. They rep
resent the new American humor that
makes its world laugh with just touch
of the sadness which only cones from
the fact that 1t may not laugh always
There are no gentlemen OF America who
have contributed more to the development
of the hearty. healthy sense of humor
which has and will save the nation from
its sins and help it by its sorrows.
President Daily of the association said
it didn't seem funny to be press humor-

existence very long time and that there

DOMESTIC DEMAND HEAVY

New York, Sept 1.-THE situation with
regard to the proposals issued by the
bureau of equipment of the navy depart
ment for supplying coal for the battle
ship fleet on its voyage to the Pacific,
says the Journal of Commerce, has as
sumed rather interesting shape here by
the statements of several agents of the
larger coal mining concerns. that they
would not present bids. Their reasons
are that they have not the necessary
quantity of coal on hand, aside from the
quantity demanded by private contracts
already entered into.
The companies claim that they have no
reserve stocks on hand amounting to any
thing and that the labor situation is such
that they cannot increase their mining
capacity.
The coal, ii was stated. can be obtained
in England If il Is necessary to go there,
but the prices will undoubtedly be what
might be classed as fancy"

POLITICAL FIGHT
IS FAIRLY BEGUN
Two City Conventions and Two
Ward Conventions SChed-
uIed for This Week.
SMO0TITES WAIT FOR WORD.
CAN'T DECIDE WHOM TO NAME
FOR MAYOR.

With two city conventions and the
ward conventions of two parties sched-
uled for this week, the simmering Of
the political cauldrOn's contents has
begun. Just two things are reasonably
certain at this stage of the proceed
ings. They are that Richard P. Nor
ris will be chosen as the mayoralty
candidate of the Democrats. and John
: BransfOrd as the leader of the
Americans The sentiment in favor
of these gentlemen in their respective
parties is overwhelming
The Republicans have not yet Crys-
taliized their sentiment in favor Of any
candidate. Nor is it likely that they
will do so until after Apostle SmOOt
has made his choice known. DR.. A. s.
Bower. Z. w. James and George T.
Cdell are the men most talked Of. but
of course the Ukase of SmoOt will put
any or all of them out of the running,
for it is conceded that the gentleman
from Provo will, as usual, dominate the
Salt Lake City Republican convention.
This fact is conceded by all who arc
familiar with the situation. But the
real difficulty with which the Republi-
cans are confronted is the finding of
any Republican Of standing who will
consent to head the ticket. However,
in due season a lamb will be found for
the slaughter.

Purinl Ball.

More than one hundred children masked and made merry" at the Bluff City club last night, when the annual Purim ball was given under the aus pices of the children of the Jewish
 Sunday school The affair was in charge of Rabbi Frisch, E. J. Bloom, and Meyer Solmson and the atten- dance was unusually large. The little folks wore many grotesque and gorge ous costumes and during their hours of dancing, from 8 to 10 o'clock, enjoyed themselves to their hearts content. No charge was made for the children, but the older folks were required to pay admission that the fund might be given to the Sunday school. The older ones patronized the ball literally and a neat sum was realized from the dance, which was given from 10 to 12 o'clock for them. A large number of Gentiles were guests of the Sunday school during the evening, the affair not being strictly Jewish event. Deals orchestra furnished the excel lent music. Among the out of town guests present were Miss Cecille Levy, |of Bastrop, La, Miss Hedwig Strauss, of Greenwood Miss. and Miss Freda Strauss, of Springfield Ohio. !
