The righteous shall be glad in the
Lord, and shall trust in Him. -
Psalm 64:10.
You will find it less easy to up
root faults than to choke them
by gaining virtues. Do not
think of our own faults; still less
of others faults; in every person
who comes near and strong; honor
that; rejoice init, and as you can,
try to initiate it; and your faults
will drop off like dead leaves when
their time comes.-John Ruskin.

charge all subordinate city officials
at will. Under the proposed Ameri-
Gus charter he may discharge, with
certain few exceptions, but he can
employ only by confirmation OF
the commission. This gives an abb
solute check upon him by the COM
mission, for he may nominate whom
he will but the commission must ap-
prove, while, on the other hand, his
hand is kept free because the COM
mission cannot elect an employe on
its own motion. This gives the city
manager complete authority, yet
safeguarded with a perfect check on
the part of the commission. Should
ever the manager fail to discharge
an employe whom the commission
deemed it essential to discharge, the
commission always would have the
resort of being able to handle the
situation by discharging the manager
on the spot without charges, if it saw
fit.
Inasmuch as most of the criticism
of the proposed plan has been leveled
at the city manager, who has been
referred to as the car and the sys-
tenn as a turn to Prussianism, it will
be worth while for honest-minded
men and women to ponder over the
foregoing and ask themselves wheth-
er, after all, such statements are fair,
or whether they are not based rather
upon malice or ignorance. And
they might also ask themselves
whether the proposed change does
not constitute an improvement over
the present form of government. AS
at present constituted, the city has
no business manager, no official who
makes it his sole and first duty to
make the city's business the greatest
possible success, as is the case with
every corporation one-tenth the size
of that of the city of Americas. And
at present, when an inefficient Of
fetal gets into office, how do we get
him out? In the first place, we don't
know he is inefficient until it is too
late; in the second place we can't get
him out even then until the next
election rolls around, and then we
are by no means certain of it, if he
is good handshaker.
There are other good features of
the bill, but these few seem to US
to be of the most Importance. II
should be borne in mind that the city
manager has no authority whatever
over the board of education, which
remains constituted as at present.
And it should also be remembered
that referendum election is pro-
vided in the bill so that it may be
submitted to the people of the city
for ratification before becoming eff
fectivs.
The subject is of sufficient i'm
portance to deserve large attend.

seeking for improvement in the city's
affairs and want to be really enlight-
ened, attend that meeting If you are
against any change and contented
with things as they are, and do not
want to hear and understand what
is proposed for the betterment of
conditions, you are advised not to

NATIONAL COAL
STRIKE COMING
Demand Higher Wages
Than Has Ever
Been Paid

On Friday, March 81, the members
of the United Mine Workers of
America will 60 out on strike for
higher wages than have ever been
paid, and the coal supply will rapidly
dwindle unless the non-union miners
stick to their posts and speed up pro-
duction. Every effort is being made
to get them to join the union and
come under its management. Rail-
road companies have been storing
coal for some time, in an effort to
lay in. enough to keep their locomo-
tives going, but factories do not as
a rule have much storage facilities,
and must soon exhaust their supply.
One thing that favors the public
is that it is pring time, and the peo-
pie in the country and the towns and
villages of the nation are resorting
to the use OF wood. Trimming trees
and cutting down shade trees that are
not much needed, and gong to the
woods where there is timber avail
able, are resorted to to relieve the
pressure upon the fuel supply. II
the strikers win and completely para
lyze commerce 1t will launch ter
rible hardship on the already suffer
ing millions Of poor people who have
struggled thru a hard winter hoping
to get employment or steadier en-
ployment in the spring.

County Rod and Gun Club, whose
purposes are to see that the streams

project here, and they will work in
harmony.

issued in Bingham county last year
to the number Of 1902 for residents
and forty-three to non-residents. We

lin. A plea of not guilty was en-
tered by Mr.. Reece.
Indictments were filed also against
N. G. Franklin and E. w. Pearce.
1t is reported by men who claim
to have knowledge of what was pre-
sented for the consideration of the
grand jury, that members of the
board of directors claim that they
had but little to do with the man
agement of the bank, and that Mr..
Reece took the iniative in everything
to such and extent that the manage
ment and the opportunity to manage
was taken out of their hands much
of the time. j.. Il
