OGDEN, NOW AND THEN,
GETS A HANO-OUT.

There is only one class of people in
this section obtaining equal or better
rates than are offered and granted
Salt Lake City by the Oregon Short
Line and that Is the tramp clement
Twice a year the Oregon Short Line
grants rate of cents for the round
trip, from all points on its line, to Salt
Lake and this year also to the G. 4
r. event. and we challenge our friend
Sir. Burley, as crafty as he is, to point
out one Instance of equal rates being
granted to Ogden.
Ogden can so on playing the part
of poor dog Tray by being kicked and
spit upon, wlgging grateful thanks for
the crumbs from the masters table,
but that is an ignoble attitude for a
city the size OF ogden. and, seemingly.
the proper course is to stand erect as
men and demand square deal
This thing OF humbly submitting TO
whatever is handed out the back door
OF the Oregon Short Lines kitchen
can bT!a- bat one result-a decision
on the part of the Oregon Short Line
people to continue TO keep us, hat in
hand awaiting the pleasure of the
high moguls in Salt Lake.

coLoRED GENTLEMAN SAW
THE POINT.

Burley of the Salt Lake Short Line
sent letters to all voters In this coun-
ty. including several gentlemen OF the
colored race, informing them that he
could pull the wool over their eyes
not In those words, but that was his
intent One Of the colored men called
at this Office this morning and said:
Say, Boss, you got my letter and
guess ] done got youes. l imagine
Mr.. Burley OF this har road sent me
pass. Here's you letter; now you
give ME ma pass"
II took sometime to explain TO the
gentleman that Mr. Burley had not
sent him pass. that the letter had
not been missent and that Mr.. Burley
was simply making loud noise for
the purpose of closing the colored
mans ears TO the truth.
Thank you TO you Kindness" said
the visitor. 81 dun thought that. When
do pray tonight I'll call de Lords
attention 10 this feller and will say:
oh Lord, tell Mr. Burley to give dis
niggah little mo- light an a leettle
less noise
The colored gentleman saw the
point.

EVIDENCE OF BETTER
TIMES.

The signs of prosperity have been
observed. AS coast paper notes, the
New York customs officers report that
the importation of diamonds. automo-
biles and similar articles OF lux
ury for April were not only greatly
in excess of the importauons of such
articles in April last year. but were
very large, indeed. for any year.
The influx of Immigrants. also, is re-
newed During the first quarter of the
present year the arrivals of immi.
grants at New York were 19e.554, as
against 55,992 for the same period in
l9OS. 1t is evident that foreigners
among us are writing to their friends
on the other side that there is to be
something doing in this country this
year. The movement OF immigration
Is not fortuitous or unintellIgent. 1t

ence between those here and their

WHEN RURLEY WAS coNSID-
ERATE.

While the manager of the Four-State
Fair was In Salt Lake, seated In
lounging chair in the ante-room to his
august presence, Mr.. Burley. general
passenger agent of the Oregon Short
Line, he was kept waiting so long that
he fell asleep. Mr.. Burley, after his
days work, was hurrying through the
room, in an effort to catch the p, nj.
car for the Commercial Club, where
the daily roll is called of those who are
kindred spirits Hating moment to
size up the sleeper. he inquired, who
is this fellow" Being informed he
said TO the usher, "Oh, yes; forgot
he was here. He came to obtain rates
for Ogden equal to those regularly
given Salt Lake. Don't wake the poor
fellow While he's asleep he thinks
he's got the rates, when he wakes up
he'll know he hasn't. Shuh.'

VAS SHOT BY
A STR A Y
BULLET
WHILE WORKING AT GRAVEL PIT
NEAR CEMETERY
Oscar o. GorGer Shot Through Thioh
Bullet Passed Through Flesh,
Bone Not Injured.

While working at the gravel pit i'm.
mediately east of the city cemetery
yesterday afternoon. Oscar o. Gorder,
a teamster Of Twenty-first street and
Jackson avenue was shot through the
thigh by stray bullet. evidently fired
from the gun OF some hunter along the
Ogden river.
The wound is not a particularly
dangerous one. unless unforeseen COM
pllcations set in. AS soon as the ac-
cident happened the unfortunate man
was taken to his home and medical
aid summoned. 1t was discovered that
the bullet had passed through the In
side Of the fleshy part Of the left leg,
the missile missing the bone
1t is mystery as to who fired the
shot, but suspicion rested upon man,
r. NJ. Drum, transient, who was seen
along the river near the place of the
accident soon after il occurred Mr..
Drum was arrested and brought TO
the city Jail, but the officers do not
think ne had anything to do with the
matter. When arrested he had no
gun with him and the story he told
of his whereabouts during the after.
noon was quite conclusively verified
by other parties.

"wEARlNe OUR WAY"

Jacob A. Riis writing in the Survey
for May, draws an analogy between
the steady effort Of the ages that wore
out the Grand Canyon In Arizona and
the patient forces that are remodeling
our social life. But he still has a hid
den word for the impetuousness OF ms
champion, Roosevelt. when he writes:
81 spoke of the forces that dug out
the Grand Canyon as persistent and pa
tIent. Perhaps I was wrong as to that
last. They ragged in their day, I know.
and it helped. 1t Is a good sign when
communities lose patience over mis-
management of their schools. We did
that in New York OF we should never
have got where we are. In Denver
was reminded Of that day, when
heard demand for more schools and
for q municipal lodging'house In the
same breath. That was. quite like
New Yorq dozen of fifteen years ago.
And the two are not without the con-
nection that seems obscure at first
glimpse; more schools to prevent the
making of idlers and tramps Of the
children drifting in the street; decent
lodging for the homeless to prevent
the making of more tramps by furnish
ing that which is only fit for tramps,
and as a logical step toward parting
the goats from the sheep, so that the
tramp may be dealt with as such and
the honest, homeless man on his
merit

DISTRICT ATTORNEY JEROME
GUEST OF HONOR

New York, May 7,-William Travers
Jerome, district attorney, was the
chief speaker and the guest of honor
tonight at a dinner given at Delmon-
les, Tammany leaders sat side by
side with prominent Republicans to
do honor to the district attorney. who
has recently come forward into the
limelight of politics by his declaration
before the peoples institute at Cooper
Union that he desired TO account for
his stewardship.
His speech was review Of his off.
cial actions. Mr.. Jerome said he had
felt very bitter about the ethical fea-
tures of certain traction and insur.
ance matters.
The public. he said, wanted a vic
tim and because the ethical features OF
the situation often looked like larceny
the public concluded that they were
larceny. The public. he added, wanted
rich victim, but that he had known
that the end of stress would come and
that 1t had come.

THERE is A MOTIVE IN
ALL THIS.

Not long ago certain railroad off,
clal was quoted as saying he had all
his property interests in Salt Lake
City. That in part accounts for the
very narrow and discriminatory policy
which certain railroad follows to
the advantage of Salt Lake and in
jury of cities such as Ogden Would
ii not be better railroading to cast
oil selfish motives and be broad
gagged, giving all places an equal
chance to grow and develop to the ut
most?
