it end? What power could stop this
Niagara of molten dollars? Suddenly
above the tumult rose Bob Brownley's
voice. He must have been standing
on his tiptoes. His hands were raised
aloft. He seemed to tower a head
above the mob. His voice was still
clear and unimpaired by the terrible
strain of the past two hours. To that
mob it must have sounded like the
trumpet Of the delivering angel. $50

the door of the firebox of a locomo-
tive speeding through the storm. In
a few seconds Bob had been sold all
the $4,000 he had bid for. Again his
voice rang out: 80 for $4,000" The
sellers momentarily halted. He got
only few thousand of his Is. "85 for
25,000." A few thousand more. 80 for
$25,O00." Still fewer thousands. His
bidding was beginning to tell on the
mob. A cry ran through the room
into the crowds around the poles:
"Brownley has turned!"-and taking
renewed courage at the report, the
bulls rallied their forces and began
to bid for the different stocks, which
a moment before it had seemed that
no one wanted at any price.

scene changed; there was almost as
wild a panic on the up side as there
had been on the down. Bob BROMLEY

pLUMMER VS.. JOSEPH EFT AL.

II must please the Republicans to
know that their candidate for mayor
repudiates his party's records in the
legislature on the Galveston meas
ures. Harry Joseph in particular
ought to be happy about it, because
the bills for the improvement of Salt
Lakes city government were assassi-
mated by him as speaker of the house.
in spite of the fact that a majority of
that body was anxious to vote for
them.
In the course of a speech Thursday
self unequivocally in favor of the plan
of city government as adopted by Gal
weston, and as contemplated in the
bills before the last session of the leg
did not care. that the men who nomi-
mated him-Spry and Callister and An
derson and Joseph-were the only OPP
ponents of the bills and resorted to
parliamentary trickery to beat them.
If he had deliberately set about to dis
credit his own party management and
show the futility of entrusting these
men with control of the city, he could
not have been more successful.
The same reasons that impelled their
opposition to the Galveston plan are
good reasons today why the party
should not be trusted with city admin
istration. They fought the Galveston
bills because they feared the commits
sion plan would deprive them of po-
litical emolument; they do not want
good city government because it would
be bad politics for them. Business
methods, economy of city government,
a concentration of authority and re-
duction of jobs would follow the Gal
weston system if adopted here; and
such reforms do not meet the approval
of men like Callister and Spry and
Anderson and Joseph.
But it must make them writhe to
have their own candidate expose

above quoted appear that thougntless
persons discussed it lightly as sort
of senseless sycophancy which is at

took il to mean that the Japanese re-

Supreme Being in the universe. at
least the mundane representative Of
that Power, and that death incurred
under his orders would gain for them
an exalted station after death. Upon
that hypothesis they found a reason
for the japanese courage, and TO that

who shaped Japanese policy and

but there is no doubt that the in
fiuence of the Shinto religion upon the
rank and file of the army and navy
caused an enthusiasm and devotion to
death which accounts for much of the
courage of the Japanese.
