A Tough One for Teddy

Roosevelt is experiencing no little difficulty
in explaining the contribution Of $l25, 600 by the
Standard Oil Co. to the Republican campaign
fund in 1904. which was the campaign in which
he was elected president
When Senator Penrose made the positive
statement shortly after the Progressive party
convention in Chicago that the Standard Oil COM
pany, through John ID. Archibald, had given the
sum of $l25 600 to the campaign fund of the Roos-
evelt hackers the country expected to see him at
once branded as liar by Teddy. and consigned
forthwith to membership in the Annanias club.
But before the strenuous ex-president could
get either his voice or pen into action, John ID.
Archibald himself openly confirmed just what
Senator Penrose had stated regarding the matter.
With such creditable evidence confronting him,
Roosevelt has so far found II rather difficult to
make a satisfactory explanation. To even permit
funds to be accepted by his campaign managers
in view of his professed abhorrance of corpora
tions and particularly those of the Standard Oil
and international Harvester variety.
Although he insists that he wants no contri-
buttons for the present campaign from any
trusts. monopoffes. monopoIistic corporations,
there appears to be no lack of funds with which
to conduct the Progressive campaign, and mas
much as the private individual is seldom solicited
for funds, and, II invited to Contribute. his dona-
tons are exceedingly limited, il is quite evident
that there is an open barrel somewhere from
which the Progressive party is securing all the
funds needed to pay its heavy campaign expenses.

Dangerous, UnsightIy Sidewalks

A few months since We made reference to the
number of irrigation bitches across sidewalks in
the city, and the probability that sooner or later
the city would be called upon to defend itself in
an action for damages because of some one falling
into one Of the numerous bitches that cross the
along every street of the city.
At recent meeting of the city council one
of the councilmen made reference 70 the fact that
certain citizen In his section or vfe city was per
hitting the water to flow across the walk in such
a stream as to make it almost impossible for
pedestrians to get along the street.
He had only the satisfaction of making the
statement, for his colleagues took no action to
prevent continuation of the offense.
Citizens of the city. in the interest of civic
beauty and the comfort of all the people. should,
of their own choice. place fumes across the side
walks where bitches enter their property. The
city ordinances prohibit the digging of bitches
without huming them. and perscribe a severe
penalty for violation of the provision, but, like
many other laws and ordinances. these particular
proviions are merely dead letters: no attempt is
or apparently has ever been, taken to enforce
them.
AS a result, the person who attempts to ira
vel the streets of Cedar City must ''look before
he leaps" or even steps, lest he land upside down
in ditch filled with real wet water.

The Normal School

The 1928 term of the Branch Normal
opens within few weeks. According to those IN
charge of accommodations for students, the attend
ance at the coming term promises to be greater
than ever before in the history of the school. IL
is but right and proper that the Branch Normal
should show material increase with each succeed
ing year. II is the only state-suppOrted combined
high school and college south Of Salt Lake City.
The University, and the Agricultural College
both in the northern part of the state. leaving
the southern part with but the Branch Normal
as state school giving a semi-college course OF
instruction.
The Branch Normal is thoroughly equipped
to give instruction in the prescribed course. The
laboratory is model of perfection and arrange
ment, the reference library is one of the mots
complete in the state, the machine shop contains
the latest improved machinery, among which is the
largest lathe in any school in the state. The
gymnasium is provided with the latest apparatus
for the development of the body Of the student
and in no feature is the school second to any in
the country in its field.
The buildings and equipment represent an
expenditure of nearly $780, 600. and each legisla-
ture generously appropriates additional funds to
meet the growing demands of the school.
The Branch Normal is central for the south
part of the state and the natural educational CEN
ter for immense territory and the result is con-
stanty increasing interest in the work of the school,
Students attending the school have the ben
efits of a healthy climate, religious environment,
and best Of all. the influence of one of the most
moral communities in the state and one tht is not
excelled by any college town in the country

Narrow Public Officers

Occasionally a real narrow fellow is elected
20 public Office which is to be expected for il is
not always possible to determin by the pre-elec-
ton conduct of that candidate just what he is
like when in a normal condition.
But when that individual carries his narrow
ness into his office and attempts to show Partially
and favoritism il is time that he be requested to
surrender his office for no longer has he any
right to receive an income which is paid out of
the public funds which are the property of the
whole people.
BY narrowness we do not mean the natural
right to employ personal friends where the office
carries with it the right to employ others. to
appoint them in like manner rs deputies; nor to
them matter of patronage which may be so used as
TO secure strength within the party of which the
official may be member.
These can not rightly be said to be evidence
to narrowness but only political manipulation. But
when the oiiice-holder, because of petty personal
preference and trivial prejudceS, deliberately
keeps information from a large portion of the
people whom he is supposed to be serving, he
puts himself clearly beyond the pale of respect
by his constituents.
Fortunately such men are few. However, we
believe we have found one such in Iron county.
We shall be sure that we have made no mistake
before exposing the perfdy of the gentleman, but
the evidence is quite clear Mt the present time and
if he comes up with suave mein ard smiling count
enance for nomination and election this fall this
paper will put his true attitude before the
people.

Doctors as rule are insanely jealous OF each
other but seldom do they resort to knock-downs
