CLASSY,
Extending the land that is iced;
When Luck deals you upper cuts sassy,
Refusing the nectarine spiced;
Your back to thewall and facer
Lands final and furious blow
Just call on the Hoodoo Eraser.
Whom twill pay you to know.
The truth is small bit of paper:
Two short words are all that you get.
And your troubles float OFF in the vapor,
And you haven't care or debt.
It's written in French and Egyptian
Whatever the tongue that you speak;
In Chinese its classic compton,
And also in Greek.
Two words in the English forget it,
Perhaps you have heard them beforel
Don't dwell on woe or regret it;
Just sponge it off. start new score
Get busy and bury the sorrow;
Smile over the scratches. and scars;
Prepare for gladder tomorrow
And laugh with the stars.
Forget Whatever the spot be
That rankles and scorches and stings
Forget it and SION it will not BE-
And the fiutter Of cherubim s wings
Will bring you the gifts that you long fol
The rose and the fire and the dew;
Will bear you to all you're strong for,
They're waiting for you.
The old world is crying for gladness;
tits sick of its grieving and sin;
It is weary of striving in sadness
And dark with no lights shining in
Go out where the boughs are adjoining
And the robins are calling tune;
Give over the crouch and the gloomine
And whistle, It's June!

The Bridge.

The Tariff and Currency Bills,
the Japanese question and all
other political problems are tenn
porari1y obscured, locally, by the
Bridge Bond Election to be held
next month.
The question is fairly before
the voters, as it should be, and
arguments pro and con are re-
ceiving consideration.
Last week Mr., H. C. Page in
a we'll considered article, show
ing research and an intimate
knowledge of the subject, argued
potentially against the issuance
of bonds.
Doubtless the bridge advocates
will endeavor to refute the argu-
ments advanced by the opposi-
ton, and to show that the same
conditions do not exist under the
new proposal as under those pre-
viouSly advanced.
Apart from the purely BUSH
ness side of the question there
are strong grounds for insisting
that some seven hundred of our
fellow citizens should not be cut
off from access to the County seat
and from their neighbors on this
side of the river,
AS we remember, the petition
last year was signed by several
ministers of the County on hui
manitarian grounds. If like
number of County residents were
cut off from intercourse with
their fellow citizens by an i'm
passable piece of road, it wou1dn 7
take long to get it in shape for
travel, and we can't see that the
two cases are fundamentally diff
ferent.
Then there seems to be force,
from the economic standpoint, in
the assertion that the consequent
increase in taxable values would
more than take care of the in
terestt on the Bridge Bonds.
AS to the suggestion that the
Citizens Fire Insurance Company
might withdraw its home Office
in the event of the bond issue
carrying, we think this is more
of a dread than of a probability,
since, unless we are misinformed,
even with the slight additional
increase in taxes, the Company
would have to pay higher rate
If domiciled in Maryland than in
West Virginia.
It would look as if business
men anticipated an appreciable
trade increase, when one manu-.
facturer, owning no property or
the east side Of the Shenandoah
offered to make an outright dona'
ton of $500, apparently in the
expectation of getting it back il
increased business from a section
from which we are now cut off.
Let the discussion go on in fair
ness and good temper that, whet
all sides have been heard the vot
ers can register their decision il
full knowledge of the question
and with due regard to the pres
emit financial and moral we1far'
of the community.

CITIZENS READY
TO TAKE ACTION

The Commercial club yesterday took
the initiative In launching what is eX-
pected to be a concerted PUBLIC move
ment for immediate relief from the pres
ent water shortage and the ultimate es-
tabishment OF a reservoir and water sys-
tenn that Will insure the city against n
recurrence of the menace OF the last
three days,
At a meeting of the board OF COVER
nors yesterday II was declared that the
conditions OF yesterday and the day be-
fore should not be toera ted in a city Of
the size and importance OF Salt Lake;
that the shortage was a serious menace
TO property and health. and that definite
steps should be taken at once for both
temporary and permanent relief.
To inaugurate such movement, the
board unanimously empowered LAFAYETTE
Hanchett chairman of the conmitlee on
public improvements, with full authority
to act IN the name of Inc Commercial
club in any plan lie might propose or
accept for the Immediate temporary and
ultimate permanent betternent OF the
city water situation.
Following a conference OF Mr.. Hanch-
EFT with the board members an6 his asso-
ciate committeeman, call was Issued
beTs, property owners and citizens In gen
eraI. TO be held at tho club at O'Clock
tonight, when free expression OF opin-
ion Will be heard from any who have
betterment OF conditions. The club
declared itself unqualihedly in support
CT any move that would bring relief. both
tempora rlly and permanently,
At toDiSilts meeting ii Is understood
n plan will be presented 10 bring about
the establishment Of great reservoir and
distributing system that will make pos
sible the conserving of vast supply OF
water sufficient TO meet the require
ments OF the entire city for month
time In case Of water famine.
II Is also probable that a move Will be
started with view Of permanently es-
tablishing a system, whereby the flowing
wells at Liberty park can be conn nected
by use OF pumps with the city mains to
relieve conditions such as have obtained.
II conditions have not improved by to-
night, IL Is probable that plan for con-
troll and precaution against fires Will be
devised; that bulletins Of advice will be
issued citizens In general and that the
appointment OF special patrols will be
urged to safeguard against fires and mis-
usc of water.
