Editor News:
My pencils bad, my paper worse,
Almost enough to make me curse.
or come as near as the Editor did
about the registration in Marion coun-
ty.
Now, I'll tell you what guess. The
voters feel good deal as do about
this registration business. | had all
the notice that it would have been pos
sible to give me, but the secret is /
don't feel interest enough to register if
the book was brought to me-
Well, some political trickster says,
''Whyr' with his eyes wide open, like
he was very much astonished. Well
II try to tell you why if you will read
what say.
First. don't see the necessity of a
registration in rural districts.
Second. If | ever cast ballot in my
life that proved to be of any benefit to
me, either before or after, ! never
was able to see it.
Third. And here S the bomb. l be-
lieve it is next to impossible to elect a
man to any Office with perfectly pure
and honorable motives; one who will
do his whole duty for the people he
represents as best he can, and in the
event you do happen to linda man of
this calibre, he is SO overwhelmed with
the evil or unhung scape gallows that
he can't give any relief. I believe we
would get along just as we'll with the
government if elections were held as
our forefathers held them.
The only difference l see is that the
registration might be of some value in
| cities, but to make long story short,
your 'Uncle Joe" will never register
in order to vote, neither do l expect to
ever cast another ballot, under any cir.
cumstances, for wherever either one
of the political parties has the power
TO hold all Offices, there the CRATER,
| grow fat, another pet name for steal
ing, and it would be a good thing il
all Democrats would stay at home OF
next governor election and just ge
behind tree and listen | can almos
hear the weeping and wailing in thu
Democratic ranks.
Some say there is no use to turn on,
evil loose and take hold of another
but believe it is better sometimes
You see the Republican party would
try to do their stealing when YOU wa
mt looking, or rather they would stea
and not rob. The only difference il
stealing and robbing. is one is don
when you don't see and the other
done when You do see.
Oh, am glad that there was sucl
light registration and if no one hat
registered in Marion County | woul'
| have reiOiced while the. Editor sal,

sioners for not giving proper notice.

Elsewhere in this issue will be found
notice of the candidacy of Capt. John
W. Morton for Secretary of State. The
Captain has filled his Office faithfully
and well, and deserves reelection, if
for no other reason than that he has
been attentive to the duties of the
Office. We trust he will receive the
careful consideration of the voters when
the battle of ballots is being promoted,
and the candidates lined up.

Peach Day at Brig
ham Drew the Crowd
But the Free Peaches Were Nothing to Rave
About. Bountiful Beats Wellsvile.

Brigham City's peach Day"
was thorough success in at least
one of the half dozen particulars
the crowd was there. twenty-five
car loals of excursionists came
from Salt Lake and Ogden, seven
from Malad valley and eight
from Cache Valley. These, with
the hundreds who drove into the
city made a crowd of visitors
numbering probably 1000 of s.
600.
The crowd was there alright,
but as for free peaches, free "ev-
erything," there wasn't much
doing. The peaches dished out
were about the measliest and
greenest that could have been
scraped tOgetner, anu unere Wds
no great quantity of these in
evidence, though there was plen'
ty of fine fruit for sale. Mem
bers of the Commercial Clut
said they had bargained for fine
peaches to be given away, but

SMlIHf1ElID, sept ~ our
humble correspondent laid all
work aside and in company with
several others interested in the
resources of the Curlew valley
took a trip around that country.
The future of the valley is GER
tainly very fiattering; the fine
crops, large herds of cattle and
the comfortable homes all speak
Of the thrift and perseverance of
its settlers. One very interest
ing feature was watching the
steam pillows. One belonging to
Robert Sweeten and sons was in
operation and it certainly looked
like business to see an engine
plow with three six gang plows,
besides dragging, pulverizing,
and drilling all at the same time,
thus completing from forty to
fifty acres per day, with the aid
of only two men to tend to engine
and plows and one man to run
the water wagon. Problems that
to us seem complex are mere
play work out there, though a
few years ago it was only sage
brush wild. Success to the per-
severance of it's settlers.

was dust a foot deep. When a
breeze came up in the afternoon
the absence of the sprinkling
that might have been done was
particularly noticeable.
The program was carried out
to fair advantage and the crowd
was handled remarkably well
considering the size of the town.
The edibles provided were really
first-class and after the crowd
once got to them it was o. X.
Elegant prizes were given for

and Receivers Association is anothe
glaring example. This association
had become too active in the interest
of reform to suit the corporations and
its policy of turning the searchlight
of publicity upon servants of the
people was decidedly obnoxious to
those statesmen who were accustom-
ed to having their records exploited
by the corporation press and none
other. So the committee chosen to
conduct this inquiry was expected to
blackmail the association leaders and
if the universe had been searched
with fine tooth comb it would hard
ly have been possible to produce five
men better suited for the work in
hand than were those named by
Speaker Johnson. This committee
was headed by slippery SAM Pet
erson. The other members were
Lennon, Bills, HOLSTER and Bouck.
Personally they were all men who
might well wish to see every organic
lied reform influence wiped from the
face of the earth.

HOW THE SPEAKER VOTED.

While the work of defeating merit
orous measures was left large
ly to the committees and the re-
co of members, so far as the jour-
nal is concerned, was saved much
wear and tear in consequence of this
system of committee slaughter, yet
numerous questions came to vote
which tended to disclose the real atti-
tude of members. The vote of Speak
er johnson on few measures, noted
at random thru the journal, will be
found interesting.
Speaker Johnson voted against the
bill to establish farm machinery
plant at the state penitentiary.
He voted against FL. F. No. 314, a
bill aimed at lobbying.
He voted against H. F. No. 399, a
bill to prevent corrupt practices at
elections.
Morris tribune., 1907-05-18
ROADS AND BRIDGES.

Probably no statesman in this OF
any other state ever used an official
position for personal purpose to a
greater degree than has L. Ell. John
son, during his legislative career. Mr.,
Johnson is bridge builder and for
several years his business has -four
ished as direct result of his mem
bership in the House. For three terms
prior to this last session he served as
chairman of the committee on. roads
and bridges. In that capacity he en-
braced many opportunities to obtain
business for his firm, going to unusual
extremes to monopolize the bridge
building resulting from state appro-
priations for that purpore. This sell
fish policy reached climax in the
thirty fifth session. The details will
be given in another article, not only
because of the connection of the man
highest in command, but also because
nothing better illustrates the too gen.
eral prostitution of politics for per-
