GIVE THE AMERICANS" FULL
CREDIT.

Truth is very anxious that the
american" party of Salt Lake should
receive credit for all the wonderful
works it has performed Its a great
mistake to suppose that its influence
is confined to Salt Lake On the
contrary it reaches out to the four
corners of the earth At great ex-
pense and considerable trouble Truth
received the following few testi-
monials showing how the party has
been benefactor to the world and
how its benign influence is appre-
ciated by all even down to the most
savage blacks in Africa:

out first in the race by several weeks,
made a great hoorah and claimed
everything not only in view but which

exceedingly ephemoral display of

the darkness succeeding the temper

Their chances in this campaign are
below zero.
The existence of the undercurrent
among the general public, who know
nothing about and care nothing about
the tricks of politicians, but form
their judgment on the broad prin-
ciple of honesty and decency, for the
defeat of the falsely called "Ameri-
can" party has become more appar-
ent and greatly more decided. Large
numbers of those who by deception
and fraud were induced to support
the Americans" have had their eyes
opened and now see that party as it
is, the party of spoils and graft and
have deserted it. The American"
leaders themselves have begun to re-
alize this and are consequently not
feeling as jubilant as they were by
any means.
The democrats have played baby
politics. They pretended that they
were patriotic and for the public well
fare desired the defeat of the "Ameri-
can" spoismen. When it came down
to the real point it appeared they de-
sired their own individual success
much more than the public veal.
They pretended to favor coalition
of all anti American" interest, but
when it came down to absolute facts
it appeared beyond doubt that their
main object was self interest. The
leaders would form no coalition un-
less they were given everything. The
republicans forced the issue of fusion
to defeat the grafters and have there
by not only consolidated their own
adherents, but have made friends of
the rank and file of the democracy,

taken Americans" The week closes

that it is difficult to imagine how ihey

Phoebe Aver and Eliot Dunbar were promoted after
while to parts of three four sentences, not be-
cause either of them exhibited the slightest spark of
talent but because Cousin William wished to confirm
his worst fears This Maine boy with his bright, un-
conquered look that always softened when his eyes
were turned upon Phoebe might make philosopher

the little cousin herself was with her best efforts,
equally inadequate.
They came hand in hand night to his dressing
room to tell him they engaged to be married.
Cousin William heard the news in gloomy silence.

he knew that in that deep solitude he was not
alone. The boy he had been stood beside him with
eager eyes and fair ideals, undimmed by the after
years of stress and disiluson. That boy was dead
but his spirit seemed to dwell in two young people
before whom there stretched road even harder be-

Phoebe got through without letting the tray fall,

her publicly Then he forgot all about her until he
was getting into motor to join supper party. At
