FOUNDATIONS

The other day In Salt Lake q youth
dropped a lighted. match into an
empty whiskey barrel. An explos-
ion resulted that blew the head out
of the barrel, on which the boy was
sitting, slammed him up against an
adjoining building and put him in
the hospital for repairs. All of
which only goes to illustrate that a
whiskey barrel, empty or loaded, is
a force not to be trifled with by in
experienced warriors, and old-time
fighters fully realize it's ability to re-
taliate for abuse, even as Maud, the
mule.
Judge Lands. of Chicago, in as
sessing a fine of $3O,0O0,OO0 against
the Standard Oil company, must have
been actuated by an idea similar to
that of Washington state justice,
as illustrated by the following story:
Two prominent physicians were
brought before the justice one day
charged with disturbing the peace.
After q trial one OF the doctors was
proven guilty of assault, and the
justice assessed fine of 800 and
costs against him. In paying the
fine the physician took occasion to
ask the justice IL 500 for simple
assault was not rather unusually
heavy fine. "Oh, yes," drawled the
Judge, but, you see. you are a pro-
fessional man; you don't want any
$40 hobo fine."
San Francisco, Salt Lake and other
cities are having their troubles over
government and officials.
Ely is not old enough as a city to
have troubles Of that nature, but
the public mind at present is vastly
over the questions of a
school house to be, or not to be, and
we are to have new or old
school board. 1t has been said one
might las we'll be out of the world
as out of STYLE" and Ely proposes to
be neither one nor the other.
