Heads Figures.
Gargoyles are quantity formed heads,
faces or figures used in ancient times
for decorative purposes and chiefly ap-
piled as the terminals Of waterspouts
upon roofs or gables. The rain stream
was arranged to flow through the
mouth. and the word gargoyle itself
Is an attempt to initiate the "gurgling"
sound made by the water in passing
through the throat of the grotesque
monster
Gargoyles were the caricatures Of
medieval times. Many were carved
BY monkish masons, who took the op.

If Salt Lake is to be saved from grave
financial difficulty. They present for
office men of experience in city af-
fairs of established probity and rec
ognized ability. They care not whether
a man is Mormon, Gentle or Jew, SO
they are successful at the polls, the
administration of the city will be con-
Quoted on precisely that principle.
X X X
OF the three candidates for mayor,
r. p. Morris alone has had large ex-
perience in municipal affairs, and has
proved his capacity for handling them
wisely, conservatively and success
fully. Mr.. Bransford, the American"
candidate, has been in office two
months, and is yet an unknown quanti-
ty as an administrator of city bus
mess. DR.. Plummer, the Republican
nominee, has had no experience at all
in such business as would be under his
control if he were elected. A physician
he has devoted his days to professional
duties that in their very nature unfit
him for corporation business ON a large
scale; and his selection was made with
an utter disregard of the personal re-
quirements for the place. 1t is no dis
paragement to the mans ability in his
profession or his standing in the COM
munity to say that he is not qualified
for the Office and would probably be
sorry if he were elected and had to
undertake the burden of the position
X x x
Still another consideration enters
into the problem for the voter. 1t
would be unfortunate to have a mayor
of one party and a council of another
party, or a council divided so that no
one party could control. 1t is a fore
gone conclusion that the Americans
cannot control the council; the Re-
publicans are even more hopelessly out
of the contest so far as aldermen are
concerned, The Democrats will have
the largest vote in the new council,
even if they do not control it abso-
lutely.
If the Republicans are anxious to
redeem" the city, as they say they
are, they will have no hesitancy about
their choice of candidates on the coun-
ell tickets. They have already admit
ted their weakness by appropriating
Democratic nominations in some of the
precincts, and it is likely their action
will insure Democratic success: they
ought to make the result a certainty
beyond question and guarantee a sound
city government in every branch of
the public service with r. P. Morris
and Democratic council majority in
control. This they owe as a civic duty.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1907-10-22
A CIVIC DUTY.

~" mat INC attempt TO force the
Democrats into general fusion ha.
failed, the Republicans have resumed
their attacks on the political honest,
or such Democratic leaders as Mr.
Moyle, Judge Powers, Judge King and
Chairman Snow. They charge these
men, who have been honored by the
democracy year after year, with de-
Hberately planning to betray their OWL
party-men. whose standing in the COM
munity and position on every big polit.
zeal issue are so well known and SC
highly regarded that no one but a
Smoot Republican would expect such
calumny to get credence.
Who makes this charge of party per-
hdy, anyway? No Democrat would. no
honest citizen of any party would. but
the Republican machine does. and it is
headed by Callister and Spry and ''Fus-
sy Jimmy" and men of their iIk. with
the sole purpose of arousing discord
and suspicion in the Democratic marty
and profiting the Smoot machine.
Why is the charge made? Only be-
cause Mr.. MOyle and Judge Powers and
Judge King and Ashby Snow. in COM
mon with the mass of the Democratic
party. are opposed to traffic with the
Smoot machine; because they have
fought the machine just as Wig
orously as they have fought every
other enemy of the Democratic
party; because they remember that
Inc Democratic ticket of two wears
ago was defeated by the intrigues of
the machine, and that the american"
administration is in office today be-
cause the Republicans preferred the
success of Thompson TO the reelection
of Morris.
Even Smoot Republican ought 10
know that no self-respecting Demo-
crat would have anything TO do with a
bunch so hopelessly Indifferent to
truth, SO maliciously eager to mis-
state facts. so ready TO brand men of
high position as traitors and renegades.
such statements as theirs put them out
side the pale of political utilization with
decent men and parties. Neither ca
jolery, which was their first role, nor
abusive political blackmail, which was
their second and final resort, is strong
enough to entangle the Democracy into
an alliance with them. They hoped 10
demoralize and disintegrate the DEM
ocrats, and they failed. They have
only succeeded in exposing the weak
ness of their position, and no threats.
or abuse, or elaborate system of false
hood is going to make any difference
in their position. They are beaten,
badly beaten, long before the election.
and they have their own attitude to
blame, If, as seems probable. they have |
the most disastrous rout in the his
tory of the party on next election day. |
X
While the Republicans charge the
Democrats with being in league with |
the Americans" these latter pa |
triots" declare the Democrats are con- /
trolled by the Mormon church. The /
truth is in neither faction, as the neo-
pie know. The Democrats kent their
skirts clear alike of appeals to reli-
gious prejudice and hatred of any
church. They would prescribe no cit
izen because of his religious belief.
nor would they ask support of any man
on religious grounds. They make no
issue in this city campaign except the
merits of the candidates and the ne
cessity for change in administration

over 100000. Three months of the
year remain to be paid for, and the
bulk of the taxes will not be collected

of the reevnue from taxation will have
been spent. The new year will see the
city begin operations with a deficit for
the first time in at least a decade.
From January until the taxes begin to
come in the following November, the

hSHBY SHOWS CHALLENGE.

The proposal of Chairman Ashby
Snow for joint debate between the
Democrats and the Americans" on
municipal questions has been met by
Chairman Darmer and his advisers
with a cOunter-proposal to talk about
almost anything else except municipal
conditions.
Mr.. Snow offered to debate these
propositions:
F1rst-The administration of Richard P.
| Morris secured the Big Cottonwood wa
| ter for Salt Lake City. matured plans for
| bringing that water into the city and
| thereby solved for all time the problem of
a permanent municipal water supply.
| Second-The administration of Richard
r Morris inaugurated the splendid sys-
| TEN of modern sewers. sidewalks and
pavements, matured the plans and pro-
vided for most of the work that has since
| been done.
Third-The administration of Richard P
Norris managed the finances of the city
far better than has the present "Ameri-
can" administration; and it left the public
treasury in far better condition than it
has been in at any time since.
Although the Americans have been
claiming credit for all the achieve
ments of the Morris administration.
and although they have been claiming
to show a far better financial manage
ment than Morris gave, they refuse to
debate these simple questions of mu-
nicipal history unless they can include
issues of their own manufacture. They
want to talk about 'hierarchs" and
gambling (McWhirters and Sheets
barred; they want to discuss popula-
tiOn-anything but municipal business
and the present financial condition of
the city. They do not propose to pub
lish the expert accountants report on
city affairs, for which they have paid
$4,000. nor do they care to debate slot
machines, the Sheets case, Thompson's
resignation, the protected poker games
or anything else that might be regarded
as a valid subject for consideration by
citizens choosing a city administration.
Just now there is only one vital ques-
ton before the taxpayers and voters
of Salt Lake. and that is, which ticket
offers the best men for the manage
ment of the city's business? The promo
sal of Mr.. Snow offered to shed some
light on that question; Mr.. Darmer's
answer was meant only to obscure the
situation, as might have been expected
from a party which has been lodging
the real issues of the election ever
since the campaign began.

ANCIENT AND MODERN TAX DODGERS.

Very few believe George Washington
o++amnte1 to heat the kings taxes out
of the assessments he should have PAD
on n carriage. Still it appears that III
1850 a "presentment" was issued against
WASHINGTON and others for not lls.-
ing the coaches for taxation. In the
lief which had to be sworn TO lne
coaches of Washington and George
Mason and others of aristocratic +.
Z. VS. fail to appear and the conclu-
sion has been jumped to by those VINO
are thoughtless and by others VINO
seek excuse Of their own mlsdeeus
that the future father of his country
did as too many men do now, doaseo
his taxes and committed perjury to
save q pitiful sum.
It was probably thru oversight ana
misrepresentation that the coaches Were
omitted. Then too, in those old days
the man who forgot or neglected TO
list property heard from his failure
with directness and dispatch. for the
kings officers had no need to play at
word politics. The presentment was is
sued without delay. However. II WASH
ington had been willing to attempt
concealment of his property he would
scarcely have selected a coach Dig as
a modern carriage house and in almost
daily use. A farmer would as soon
think of concealing his lumber wagon
There is little comfort for present DAY
tax dodgers in this ancient history.
The modern type lacks the Washington
character. He is not hiding coaches
hut mortgages and property readily
concealed. Had Washington been
caught loaning money under mortgages
concealed under an alias or the name
of some convenient and opig-
ing relative outside the state, the moo
ern tax dodger might feel sense OF
companionship. AS it is he can scarce
