their remarks In the Congressional
Record and who then intersperse
these remarks with applause" loud

Representative Mann has been
glancing over the records containing
the debate on the Free List BIZ and

picked out one oratorical gem. in par

CHURCH HEAD AS A WITNESS

Recently President Smith. head OF
the Mormon church. gave testimony
before the congressional committee In
vestigating the sugar trust relative to
the formation of the Utah-Idaho
Sugar company. For the head Of a
strong church society. he has found
time to devote to AFFAIRS Of purely
secular character.
President Smith has reached his
present high stage of efficiency by
sedulous attention to business. At 8
years old he welded a goad over an
OK team when the great exodus of the
Mormon sect from Illinois began. He
worked at manual labor In Utah; he
was a missionary to the Sandwich
Islands; in 1858 he was ordained high

"GIYE Us LIGHT"


Many criticisms have been made re-
Gently and are still being made as to
recent acts of the city council Many
questions are being asked as to how
the city government is being run. Dis
content is widespread Charges of eX
traVagance and mismanagement are
being heard, but none seem to vouch-
safe a satisfactory explanation. What
is the floating indebtedness of the city?
Are the salaries of the city employees
paid up to date? What does the city
get for the rental and current sup
piled the opera house management?
Who is on the pay roll of the city,
how much do they get and what do
they do? Why did council turn off two
of its most reliable policemen, one of
whom. only about two years ago was
heralded and proclaimed almost a hero
for bravery and both of whom have
Tfsked their lives on several occasions
when duty demanded that they make
arrests? What kind of contract has
the city with the Reedy River Power
Company; does the city meet it's OBJ
legations 10 that company promptly
or are accounts allowed to run months
mt time? A satisfactory answer to
these questions would be greatly APP
preciated by the taxpayers OF the city.
Since city council has authorized a
statement that 1t will set forth it's rea-
SONS for turning down that trolley
line petition, it might at the same time
allay great deal of dissatisfaction by
giving satisfactory answer to few
OF these questions. We believe that
n clear and candid statement OF the
conncirs position in these matters
would put the council in better fay
or with the citizens than 1t now Is.
LET'S HAVE A REPORT.
We do not believe that it Is the duty
or county newspaper to attempt to
run things. We do not find il a
pleasant occupation to criticize any
body. We do not believe that il is
good business policy for a county pa-
per to dip" into everything that goes
wrong. But when the occasion de-
mands 1t, we believe that we should
do what we can to aid in getting nj a |
proper understanding of affairs when
'discontent is evident and expressed
ON every side.

to a special form of ~hydrometer. This
hydrometer is gagged so that when
the empty basket hangs to 1t it will
float at a certain point at the top Of
the water. Exactly ten pounds OF the
potatoes are taken. They are thor
oughly washed and hen dried. If nee,
essary one potato will be cut In order
to make the exact weight. The ten
pounds are put into this wire basket
and attached to the bottom of the
hydrometer. The greater the amount
of starch the lower these potatoes will
pull the hydrometer into the water,
since the starch is heavier, and the
gauge is marked In such a way as to
show by the depth to which a hydro
meter is pulled the per cent. Of starch
contained in the sample. That Is the
way testing is done and it has an
swered reasonably well in practise. 1t
is said that potatoes average from IA
to 20 per cent. of starch; 100 pounds
of average potatoes containing II per
cent. of starch will yield about l $40
gallons of denatured alcohol.
