SAFETY FIRST

No political campaign is really until the moran
SQUAD" goes into action Once the squad takes 10 the
field you may know that the tight is on ana Will 20"
tinue until after the election The holiness tnat
the average politician just before election one OF INC
phenomena of the times 1t has been noted ana COM
mented upon times without number In the fear tha'
our present comments will like tale that has Deeh
told we rece facts of recent happening with co'hei
relevant thereto The tme the place and the girl are
the necessary ingredients of story and the reasons
for the existance of moral squad 1t seems that Cald-
we'll everything necessary to the story ana heay
personally conducted moral squad" too.
Several years ago about to retire from acuVe
business erected residence under the brow OF canyon
Hill She has made her home there off and on tor sew
eral years. The people of the community generally be-
lieved that this simply home Tor her IN her oio
age and as there any disturbance or as
orderly conduct in about the place paid little aeh
ton to the woman or home. She simply an un-
attached who had resigned the cares ana "ores
of business called from home at frequent intervals IN
pursuit of pleasure, excitement by other matters
1t seems that the prosecuting attorney OF the county
is man of great wisdom and experience, and has at
it WERE exceptional and remarkable gifts He became
convinced that this particular house something more
than refuge for tired and worried woman of affairs
The county prosecuting attorney does not jump at con-
illusions He moves slowly and with deliberation. He
investigates carefully and pansakngy. He sizes up the
situation from every angle before making the attack In
the case hand he viewed the premesis from the in
side and outside. He moved with Caution he lookeu
over the place by day and by night 1t is said by his
friends that we'll informed that he knew when
the lady home and when she was not, and when
she was where she at, as Tom Watson would
say it. He took months the ground that there
might be hare-up at the grand finale. These inves-
cations ripened the first premonition into ua know
ledge The bunch had become a conviction.
Late Saturday the prosecuting attorney notified the wo-
man in question that the investigation complete
the evidence all in literally and 6gurtivev-end that
the house must be vacated forthwith. 1t The wo-
has departed but will return. it is stated and on
her proposes giving the attorney for his
money She claims have made nvestiga-
public her Investigations.
OF little public dcusson of this affair will
not do any harm, and probably very little good. The
Tribune is particularly interested in any phase of the
subject from that standpoint AS observer of men
and affairs interested in the outward manifesto
tons of inward grace. The time under which manifesto
ton takes place cannot help but be of more or
less interest 1t exces comment that the investigations
should be concluded the verge of election. We
cannot fail to that the moral squad brought in
play at this particular time Of also
interested in noting the minute when the campaign
opened You mark it down and underscore it that
the campaign started Saturday last and that will
tnue until after election Now that the moral squad
is in the service it will be cutting up right along If you
our reader should happen be in the habit of doing
things which you would prefer might be kept secret we
advise you to put bride your habit Go slow for the
next three months and you will besafer if not better
Remember that safety first is the slogan of the day
