cTILL AFTER 6UReIpeE.

The Herald's morning American"
contemporary, representing a small
and inconsequential faction of its par
ty, contained yesterday another in
stallment in its spasmodic series of vi
Imperative assaults on Police Captain
Burbidge. For more than a year our
contemporary has at intervals I'M
corked the Walls of its wrath and
poured their contents out upon the
head of Burbidge. Thus far its eff
forts to bring about the removal of the
officer have been utterly futile, a fact
that has served to increase the venom
of its attacks
Why should John Burbidge be
blamed for his desire to continue in
a position lie has filed so long and so
honOrably? Isn't our contemporary
just a little disingenuous when it at
lacks him so bitterly? The 'Ameri-
can" party is in full control of the af-
fairs of Salt Lake city. The mayor is
an American" and nine out of the fif-
teen members OF the city council are
Americans" They have the power to
remove Burbidge Why, then, should
he be berated for refusing to resign?
The answer is that there are Amer
lean" members of the council who are
not so blinded by partisan fury that
they cannot see merit in men who do
not belong TO their party. These men
know that Burbidge has served the
city efficiently and faithfully for near
" twenty years: they know that dur
ing all that time there have been no
charges of dishonesty, of graft or of
inefTiciency against him. Burbidge
served four years under Thompson
when Thompson was a Republican; he
served nearly two years mSre under
Thompson, when Thompson vas in Of
nee as an American"
During his incumbency there have
been nearly half a score of police chiefs,
not one of whom has risen to accuse
him. And the plain truth is that no Sc
rious charge can Iegitimately be made
against Burbidge, The only excuse. I'm
fact, offered by our contemporary in
all its distempered imaginings is that
Burbidge is not an American" What
a crime that is, TO be sure, what a
horrible, heinous crime Efficient
service may not be considered, honesty
and integrity count for nothing. Bur-
bidge is not an. American" and he
must go.
Fortunately for those who believe in
good municipal government. however,
the pack that is yelping at the heels
of Burbidge does not represent a ma
jority OF the people of Salt Lake City
or to the best of our knowledge and
belief. a majority of the American"
party. 1t is possible that the pack
viii bully and buldoze and intimidate
the mayor and councilmen into line
for the removal of Burbidge but when
they do they will strike a blow at good
government that will inevitably react
upon the men and the party response

died at Holy Cross hospital Monday,
Salt Lake City loses a valuable citi-
zen Mr.. Grey was not a prominent
man, as prominence is regarded by the
average citizen. For nearly twenty
years he was motorman on the First
avenue car line. He helped to lay the
tracks for the Rapid Transit company
and his hand was on the controller of
one of the first cars that traversed
them. And always he was faithful, al
ways efficient, always true to his trust.
In his quiet, unobtrusive way he made
friends by hundreds. was known, by
sight at least. to many hundreds more.
Lately Mr.. Grey had been winning
the recognition his ability deserved.
FOR when ne died he was prominent
official in the International Street
Railway Employees union, as well as
I'm the local branch of the organization.
He had much to do with the handling
of the brief street car strike last sum-
mer and to his sane, conservative and
Iaw-abiding counsel was largely due
the early and peacable settlement of
the conflict.
His fellow employees and his friends
will mourn his loss sincerely. 1t was

The rural delivery was estab-

people promised to get them
in shape, and it was thought at
the time that they would appre-

that this was done; some of them

1t dies hard, but it must cease
its opposition to the exercise of
