AFTER cANNoN's SCALP.

Congressman Parsons of New York is
after Speaker Cannon's scalp. He says
the speaker accomplished the organiza-
ton of the house and the adoption of
the house rules by means Of a trade be-
tween Republicans and Democrats of
York state. And that the Democratic
end of the trade is the defeat of the
bills which would have taken control Of
the biggest city away from Tammany.
The defense will not be profanity nor
abuse. 1t viii be a demand for direct
evidence-or confession. Mr.. Cannon is
a very great man, a good representative.
and a capital presiding officer. But If
he has done wicked or dlshonorable
things. he must be rebuked-eyen to the
extent of taking his Office away from
him.
On the other hand, It will be observed
that young Mr.. Parsons should bring
more than empty statement. II Will not
content fair men to read that Parsons
declares he has the proofs. While he
demands the nation shall condemn
Cannon, he asks that he be granted
more credence than Cannon can claim.
That isn't reasonable. Mr.. Cannon

ALL BUT THE ART DISPLAY.

Now that the fair is over, and the
spoken word can do no harm, but may
do good-if the people to be benefited
will take it in the right spirit--let it be
said that either a better art display
should be made next year, or the art
department should be closed.
This plain truth is spoken because it
is needed.
The pictures shown In the art divi-
sion of the Utah state fair this year
were, with very few exceptions. an of
Tense TO every rule of art or sense of
beauty. Many of them are daubs which
no self-respecting committee should
have permitted to be hung. no matter
how influential were the alleged artists
And few Of them were worse than
that. A few OF them cannot be de-
scribed without going into the base
ment for the free use of language which
cannot be permitted TO appear in
newspaper.
The thing is not necessary. There is
a better standard of art in Utah than
is revealed in the pictures shown at the
state fair this year. We have artists

MEASURED BY THAT.

A city's police department is the cri-
terion by which the efficiency of the city
government is measured. If the depart
ment is effective, strong word is spo-
ken for the authorities higher up. If
the police department is ineffective, ii
proves incompetency on the part of the
authorities. 1t proves that politics and
dishonesty have done their baIeful work,
and that service is sacrificed to parti-
sanship.
One night last week two men held up
a citizen, went through his clothes,
made him take off his overcoat and give
It to them, and then sent him along
This on public street two blocks from
Main, and less than one block from po-
lice headquarters.
Then the two robbers, one OF them
carrying the stolen overcoat on his
arm, walked boldly around the block,
and met a special policeman who had
volunteered to do what efficiency would
have sent half a dozen regular officers
TO instantly attend to. One Of the rob-
bers shot the policeman dead, ran
across the street where between-the-
acts play-goers to the number of per-
haps a hundred were standing, and
could see and describe him, dived into
the very heart OF the city-and was
lost!
1t is not commentator to a city gov
eminent TO confess that the political
manipulations of the past four years
have reduced the force to the condition
where such a state OF affairs is possible.
But It is the truth.

MAKE AN END ORR.

We do not believe that anyone in Salt
Lake thinks the city will be better ruled
by the men nominated by the American
party than by the men nominated by
the Republican party. 1t is not fair
assumption that any interest of the city
will be sacrificed by James Murdoch,
or any man named on the ticket with
him. 1t is a violent assumption that
Mr.. Bransford and his associates will
better serve the people than they have
I'm the past, And it is perfectly clear
that they have been weighed in the bal
ances and found wanting.
The one thing that can be gained by
the election of Mr.. Bransford and his
fellow candidates is a continuation of
the old strife in Salt Lake; the intoler-
ant method out of which grew the dis
graceful boOrishness of the American
party leaders on the occasion of the
Presidents DISCRIMINATING with that
unforgivable false publication in eonnec-
ton with the Unitarian church service.
And it surely is not worth while for
who live on hatred, and shame their
own associates with the virulence of
their irreconcilable love Of a quarrel
The state is well governed by the Re
publican party. All Utah is proud Of
Governor Spry and his administration.
All Utah knows the affairs of the state
are well and honestly and economically
conducted.
So with the affairs of the county. The
government there is in the hands Of Re
publicans. They confess their RESPONSE
bility TO the people. They demand serv-
ice for the people from everyone on the
payroll. They manage their duties in a
business-like manner, and disburse their
revenues with discretion.
The American party has originated
nothing but new methods of spending
money they did not provide. They have
had, in these four years, SIXTEEN
HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS of
cash produced by the sale of bonds,
and a mighty revenue received from
taxes. They have spent every penny,
and are deeply in debt. They have filled
their offices with men who disdainfully
declare they are not responsible TO the
people, and give their time to partisan
political services. at the expense of the
interests Of the city.
1t is time to show them that their
presence and their persistent, quarrel
some intolerance are not approved by
the good people Of Salt Lake.
1t is time to return this city to the
status of all other American municipal
ties

DON'T DO 1T, noYs.

You know there is the story of the
fisherman who found a gent in a bottle
on the shore of the sea. The gent begged
to be liberated, and the fisherman IN
corked him and let him out And he
made a great deal of trouble, caused
a great deal of sorrow, involved a great
deal of loss. And the fisherman was
never able to get him back into the bot
tie again.
The incident is recalled because of the
peril of going too far in the matter of
prohibition legislation. They have tried
it in the south, and the Memphis Com
mercial Appeal makes comment upon it
this way:
We must say that we rather admire the
dauntless nerve of the Alabama states
men. If YOU are going to be a fanatic,
be fanatic. If you are going to be
fool be a darn fool Fuller of Bib.
Sock Thompson of TUskegee and other
immortals have legislated against booze.
against neaT-beer and faT-beer, against
coCa-cola and all its kind, against coffee
and tea and before the legislature adj
iourns we would suggest that they lift
a hand against sweet milk, buttermilk
and water. and that the watermelon be
quarantined against, because it contains
the latter deadly fluid. If Alabama is to
to go dry, let her be as dry as one Co.
mer's speeches.
This attempted readjustment Of the
basic principles upon which the Amer
lean government was founded, and main
tanned for nearly a century and a half,
will be watched with interest, If not grave
concern, by people whose heads are fairly
well balanced. There is but one further
step left to be taken by the families in
Alabama led by Conner, and that is to
publicly lynch every man whose breath
reveals the inner dram. And who will
deny that a whisky breath is an offense?
And, after all, the southern states
have not accomplished prohibition. If
one may judge by the experience of
Maine and of Kansas and of Iowa, the
people of the south never will reach
rohibition-excepting in the good old
way of persuadine men that drinking
liquor is not good for them. They have
worse conditions now than they had be-
fore. Their representatives went too
far. They became obsessed with the
idea of forcing everyone to conform his
actions to their ideas,' and they found
they could not succeed. They woke OPP
position which never existed before.
They filled their state with troubles, and
now they cannot put that gent of dis
traction back in the bottle from which
they evoked him.
We people of Utah don't want TO
make that mistake. We want to con-
tinue convincing men that whisky
makes the drinker cheap, and that self
restraint is better than the restraint i'm
posed by another.

UNPOPULAR STREET CAR MEN.

1t has passed into a proverb that
managers Of street car lines are unpop-
ular just in proportion as their proper
ties are profitable. Street railway men
who are strong" in the affections Of
the towns in which they do business,
are said to be without exception in con-
troll of losing business. And managers
Of lines that pay dividends are roundly
'cussed" by the people they serve.
Fortunately, Salt Lake provides an
exception to that rule Here the man.
agement of the street car lines enjoys
almost a measure of popular favor.
They are not hung in effigy, and they
are even permitted to mingle with their
fellow citizens in social and religious
and business meetings. No ban seems
to have been placed on them And yet
if there be any street car lines in these
United States that pay better than do
these of Salt Lake, the fact should be
given to the public as a matter of very
interesting and totally unexpected
news.
True, from time to time it becomes
necessary to convey to the street car
men some item of needed counsel as to
the better way to manage their bust
ness; AS, for example, the suggestion
that they make the passengers on plat
forms keep away from the open steps,
so the patrons can get on and off the
car without doing the mountain-climb-
ing stunts over the feet of the fool who
seems to have forgotten that he is born
to be in the way.
There was a time when the general
manager of the street car system in
Salt Lake grew arrogant, probably N
the belief that the aforementioned rule
is true, and that managers had to be
ugly to make good in the estimation
of their shareholders. But a little dis
culinary effort by the people took that
vanity out of him. and the course Of
true love between patrons and street
car control has run exceeding smooth,
From which we argue that men Go
not have to be mean to prosper. Also,
prosperity is not bought with unpOpu-
larity. We have a good car service i'm
salt Lake, and think very well of the
men who provide it. And if thers is
trouble in other parts of the country,
let us suggest that they send their COM
pany officials for a year of study in
Salt Lake. Here they can learn how
to make money and be liked, at one and
the same. time.

pEFYINe THE HANDICAP.
This is a talk to girls.

This is a talk to girls.
Out at haywood. Ill, is a young wo-
man named Letitia Smith, now about
p years old. She made a bad selection
in the matter Of a father. He drank.
One time, when his potations made him
especially funny, he picked up his little
girl, then about s years old, and held
her hands on the red-hot stove In his
home, and so severely burned her that
her arms had to be amputed. One
stump is about three inches long from
the shoulder. The other is little less.
That girl is superintendent of a home
for crippled children, and is discharg
ing her duties In a manner so nearly
perfect that it grips the throat of the
0bserver-the throat-grip which spells
sympathy. and amazement, and I'M
fathomed pity. Also, one struggles
from the attitude of sentiment to OBJ
serve that the work is admirably done
Girls, listen!
Miss Smith dresses herself. She
battles herself. She attends to herself
IN every way. From the time her arms
were taken away, she began cultivating
her feet. The toes are longer than
yours, because you don't have to use
your toes much. She wears stockings
without toes, and the kind of shoes they
call CATERS. They have rubber sides,
and do not have to be laced or buttoned.
She not only attends to herself and
dresses herself. but she combs her hair.
She cannot quite button her dresses at
the back of the waist. But she says she
is going to do that. She combs her hair,
and puts it up in a neat knot at the
back of very shapely head, but she
wants to mass and pile the hair as other
girls do. And she is going to accom-
plish that, too.
She writes a very clear and beautiful
hand" She makes her bed, and keeps
her room in tidiness. She is getting
about a hundred dollars a month, and
earning more than can be counted in
money. She laughs and sings, and BAN
ishes care and sorrow from her little
charges. the crippled children.
The incident is mentioned, girls, just
because-maybe-it will be helpful to
you. Miss Smith is your sister, and she
is doing miracles. And her hands and
her arms are gone.
