The Journey

A LITTLE work, little sweating, few brief,
~ flying years; little joy, little fretting,
some smiles and then some tears; little
resting in the shadow, struggle to the height,
futile search for Ell Dorado, and then we say Good
Night. Some moing in the strife and clangor
some years of doubt and debt, some words we spoke
in foolish anger that we would fain forget; some
CHEEKY words we said unthinking, that made sad
heart light the banquet with its feast and drinking
land then we say Good Night. Some questioning
of creeds and theories and judgment of the dead,
while Cod who never sleeps or wearies is watching
overhead; some little laughing and some signing,
some sorrow, some delight little music for the
dying, and then we say Good Night.--Walt Mason.

HE HAS SEVERAL
QUALIFICATIONS?
American Party COunciImanic
Candidate Surely Can Fill
the Bill.

Speaking Of the councilmanic ticket for
the Second precinct, two old American
party workers paid their compliments yes
terday to c. H. Reed. the nominee who
was railroaded through the convention
when L. c. Allen and the voters OF the
west side were double-crOssed. About all
that could be SAID in Reeds favor was
that he was a nephew of w. II. Glore, the
superannuated collector of campaign Iund
assessments from the Salt Lake fire de-
partment.
SO far as the people of the west side
have been able to ascertain, the man Tor
whom the inner circle OF the American
party is asking them to support Tor the
council has been a resident Of Utah for
about four years. It may be that he pays
a poll tax but that by no means sums up
his qualifications for the city council.
In the first place, these American party
workers on the west side say that Reed
should be elected councilman from the
nell, he lives in the extreme southeast
corner of the precinct and 1t would not
do to let the west side have any repre-
sentation in the council.
In the second place, Reed is the logical
candidate because he is not well known
as a business man in Salt Lake and has
no property interests in the city.
In the third place, Reed should be
elected councilman because he Is a favor
tie of Tom Kearns and that is the prime
requisite for support.
In the fourth place, Reed is a nephew
of W. II. GlOTe, who has succeeded in
collecting assessments of Sl2.l5 month
from every member of the fire depart
ment.
These are the reasons why the citizens
Of the west side will unite and elect J.
A. Ekman to the city council.

LAWRENCE STAYS ON TICKET.

George N Lawrence, candidate for
city attorney on the Democratic ticket,
reconsidered his determination to with
draw yesterday afternoon, after con-
sulting members of the Democratic and
Citizens parties, and last night he said
that he would consent to remain on the
ticket, with the understanding that he
was not seeking the office, and that the
Democrats would substitute the name
of I. f. Wiley, the Republican candi-
date in case fusion should be effected
Mr. Lawrence said last night that in
asmuch as he was a Republican, he did
not like the idea Of being on a Demo-
cratic ticket, but a review of the
amended platform Of the Democrats
convinced him that it was all right and
that he allowed his name to be used
solely in what he believed to the in
terest of harmony.

AMERICANS HEAR
WILD HARANGUE
Mayor BranSf0rd Put in Back
ground by Purveyor of
Fireworks.

There was an elaborate display OF fire
works and the attendant bad-smelling
smoke at the meeting held at American
party headquarters, Saturday night, pro-
duced by Josiah F. Gibbs, who was the
star attraction Of the evening, and who
talked for about an hour and half in
characteristic vein. The greater part OF
his harangue was of an alleged historical
character, interspersed with the reading
of excerpts from pamphlets written to
support his stand.
The remarks of the speaker, at one
stage of his talk, led a man in the audi
ence to take exception to some Of his
statements, and there was an uproar for
a moment several shouting for the man
to be brought to the front. that he might
state his position, while many others,
doubtless fearing that the man might
have something to say which would not
be to their liking. clamored for him TO
be put out.
The speaker once or twice apologized for
the length of his speech, saying that he
was stealing time from Mayor ]. S.
Bransford. who was to follow him. but
the crowd seemed to like his style, and
someone remarked that the mayor could
be heard any time.
Mayor Bransford was introduced after
the first speaker and read the speech
a mass of figures, showing the lavish
expenditure of money by the American
administration and apparently intended to
show that the party had built Salt Lake.
The figures seemed to have little inter
est for the crowd. The mayor said the
party was content to stand on the record
it had made.

PUBLIC BECOMES AROUSED
Many Find Nothing Living but Rats
in Building Where Voters" Are
Supposed to Reside.

Continued Investigations of the Illegal
registration in the Fifty-fourth district
accomplished 'ast Tuesday, when mem
bers of the Salt Lake police force herded
Migrants and inmates of the Commercial
lister as legal voters, has caused general
alarm among the men who were forced
to register and in addition to those who
have since been sentenced for VagTancy,
others are leaving the city daily.
The announcement that the policemen
had compelled fourteen men to register
from 1872 East First South street, where
the building is being remodeled, resulted
in many visitors to the place yesterday.
These curious ones saw at 1872 East First
South street the building formerly Occu-
pied by a paint company and all of the
living rooms on the upper floors are torn
out Rats are the only inhabitants at that
address, but these animals were not
forced to register because the policemen
could not catch them.

salty communication with the city re-
cOrder yesterday on its way to the city
council The letter reads as follows:
Hon. Mayor Bransford and City Coun-
Gil. Dear Sirs and Gentlemen:
This will be my last appeal to your
honorable body. Personally representing
property owners west of the Rio Grande
tracks, have asked for sidewalks to be
laid north and south on Sixth West, Oc-
cupied by the Rio Grande, and as yet
both and all of my demands of right, and
my fellow citizens, have been ignored and
trampled upon by the r. G. w.
City Council and Our Honorable May
or: again make my last request, and
On the 18th day of October, if nothing is
done, there will be suit filed in the
courts against the r. G; W. asking that
their franchise be reYOked-with plenty
of proof for violating the city ordinances.
Also, the council members and mayor
will be called upon through the courts to
show cause why their seats should not
be vacated as to their oath of office
None of you have compelled the railroad
to comply with the city ordinance and
have ignored respectable citizens and tax
payers ana supporters OF the ONCE. Iney
now hold for the asking of a place TO
walk and be out of the mud.
Now, our fall campaign is looking for
a better Salt Lake. Let us have IL with
out the aid of the courts, if possible.
Yours very truly, c. E. ALLEN
The trouble with the railroad company
has lasted for more than dozen years,
but for the last three or four years the
company has been taking a little more OF

street, until it takes up the western side

repeated protests from property owners
Of the west side, and it now appears that
they are about to take the matter into
court. as they have not been able to get
the council to take care of their interests.
