So well do they do their work that notwith-standing the fact that this is one of the great mining camps and the peace juid security here is much better than that of ordinary towns. There Is sel-- ! dom any serious disturbance, and when any trouble takes place they handle the matter in a most com-mendable way, The town Is well pa-trolled and evildoers find this camp a place to give & wlda berth . Homi-cides seldom occur and hold ups are almost unknown. During the past year the order of the town has been remarkably good and the work of lawyers in the criminal court has been exceedingly light. A E. PAUTSCH, Chief Of Police A. E.

McNedey) BINGHAM AND THE WORLD WAR At this hour it is fitting that we should turn our eyes back over the closing days of 1918 and take an inventory of what the year has brought for the Great Copper Camp and its people. It has been a year of heartaches, and a season of sacrifices from beginning to end, and yet there has never been a word of com-plaint from the lips of our loyal and patriotic miners. In fact, few places, in the Great West can boast of such a full-fledg- ed loyalty as has permeated this Old Reliable during the days and months which have gone into history. The American people are making history in a remarkable . fashion, and Bingham has played an important part in this reg-ime. To say that she has offered her best, and all of it, if need , be, on the altar is putting the case mildly. When the great drives for war have been heralded her noble leaders have bent their backs to the task, and big and little, young and old, have come forward with their savings and thus Bingham has been able to put over every war work drive with a vim that was the envy of many other cities better able to go over the top. As we cast our eyes up and down the page we find the balance on the proper side and then we read in the honor roll "of American - cities these glowing words: "Bingham doubled her quota." Our hearts are filled with satisfaction and we are pleased to have been able to hava had a part in making this world safe for de-mocracy and its followers. yt , The ranks of our young and middle-age- d men have been de- - pleted because our people could not sit idly by and see others fall for our safety. "Bingham has sent practically half a thou- .. sand of her best men into the service and today hundreds of these sturdy fellows are serving their Uncle Sam on foreign soil. Some sleep beneath the sod and have made the extreme sacrifice but the loss has not been in vain and even if there are some vacant chairs around the hearthstone in our homes, yet those fathers and mothers will be proud of the fact that 'they can spread to the breeze that service flag with its star of gold. These parents will rejoice that their sons have paid the price of mak-- - ing the world free from autocracy. Never again we will as a part of a world power permit such a terrible war as the one ' which has just closed, to be forced upon us. Our boys have not shed their life blood in vain, neither have we sacrificed in vain. We have brought to the world eternal justice and liberty for all. In passing let us not forget the noble and patriotic service which our splendid women have rendered in serving this great war through the remarkable medium of the American Red Cross. Our women have come forward most nobly in this service and they have always "Gone over the top . " Nothing daunted them in their efforts to serve their, country.. The chapter in Bing-ham has made a most excellent record and deserves highest commendation. In conclusion ,we might say that the tasks have seemed heavy at times, and often the future looked dark and dismal, but our people have learned long ago to make the best of cir-cumstances and conditions and plod on, but now that the won-derful results have been obtained we are going to have the best Christmas that has been ours since the day that George Washington crossed the Delaware. A Merry Christmas To All Readjustment for Reconstruction L , II I I TVJRINQ the great war now closed except as to diplomatic d- - j X- -J tails, the telephone was privileged to play, a conspicuous . ' part. That it Berved so capably and well is due in large measure to the patriotic of the public. Now post-wa- r conditions are beginning to influence thought 0 and action. The reconstruction period is at hand. Industries re-- I tarded by the necessities of war will begin to expand. The energies' j j and capital directed toward the winning of the war will be diverted j , to the channels of peaceful pursuits. I Reconstruction will involve the readjustment of plans and pol-icies. It will require no less aggressive thought and energy and action in the business of building for peace than it did in the prepa-- ration for and the waging of war. In the readjustment of business and the reconstruction of in-- I dustry the telephone will again be an important factor.-- It will ... I fk, serve as the line of communication between the general headquar- - . II ters of thought and the front lines of action. M I The demands upon the telephone will be tremendous; but the Intelligent, considerate use of the telephone will multiply achieve--. I ment. I j May we hope for a continuance of the helpful which the public has shown us in the past, that the very best result may be obtained from our efforts to serve you satisfactorily.

"CITIZENS BANK COULD HAVE BEEN SAVED'' ; ' Under the above caption last Saturday, Goodwin's Weekly of Salt Lake City, came out with a strong. editorial in which a ! 1 l J 11 11. - .. l - 1 s; l. .1 1 new ugni 13 inrown on xne circumstances leading up 10 me cjos-in- g of the Citizens State Bank. In fact Goodwin's Weekly inti-mates that there was a deliberate conspiracy intended for the crushing of the local bank and at the same time protect the ' skirts of the Utah State National and permit it to hold for its own use the money it received from the Citizens State. At this writing the receiver is still at his work of investigating, and in V the absence of positive facts and figures, we are not in a position to lay down any definite charges or opinions concerning the . wrecking of this institution; but at the same time we have, a , feeling that the Salt Lake paper is on the right trail and that the local authorities are not the ones who wrecked the banks and tied up upwards of a million dollars, a large amount of which be-longed to poor people. Following is what Goodwin's Weekly ' has to say: In a bank operating in a ramp like Bingham, the accum-ulation of deposits at times is such that the officials of a bank find it to the best interests of the institution to Bend the money to other banks in larger fields to be loaned at the discretion of those to whom they send it. For that reason Q. B. Kelly, cashier of the Citizen's State Bank of Bingham sent from time to time various sums to Rodney T. Badger, then vice president of the State National here, to be placed locally, or wherever else he saw fit. It is understood that Mr. Badger accepted these sums totaling over $50,000 as vice president of the Utah State National, and held the notes for the money loaned in order - to more conveniently collect them here. From what we can learn, we understand that the amount sent to the vice-preside- nt of the Utah State National . was included in the doubtful list by those who examined the Citizen's State Bank at Bingham. V To a man up a tree, it looks very much as if the Utah State should be held responsible for this amount, and if that is the case, there was no reason for the Citizen's State Bunk closing its. doors. Now enter Mr. John Politics. The Hon. Dan B. Shieos doesn't seem to be able to cope with the situation in trie governor's absencebut W. II. (Spinach) Wallace, a direc-tor of the Utah State National and Democratic National Committeeman is naturally doing what he can to switch the ' cut so that the Utah State will not be held responsible . It seems very much as though the Utah State National should assume full liability for the money sent to its man- -. atring official from another bank, especially inasmuch as the notes for the loan of it were held by that bank, and while - possibly during the governor's absence the other politicians can get away with the situation as they would like to, it is not likely that Governor Bamberger will stand for it upon V his return, and that the bank in which Mr. Wallace is par- - ticularly interested will be obliged to return the amount with p For a long time the people of this state have been of Mr. Wallace and his persistent mixing of the Sics and finances of the state . Up to his neck in the dis-Kt- ed Telegram, and in every proposition where he can to make a dollar, he assumes a pseudo role of ' Scia and political dictator that has made him a laughing those of his own pohtical affih- - stock for so long that even ' Hnrk when they see him coming. break in the governor's absence ihiPossible liability of a bank in which Spinach is tfinfi he has been busier than a bird dog the S in Ws attempt to shift he responsibihty ?a8t ?l.,nt: the history of which should not be conducive oTonfiS on the pt of those who want to put their WZch Wallah isettoognumerous, and if he were half SOw2r arena before the local allies close in, for the people are onto him, and have been for a long time. Obnoxious alike to the leading men in all parties including his own, his supposed craftiness is transparent, his subtlety a joke, and his dup--lici- ty when his objective is something for Wallace akin to that of friend serpent. We await the return of Simon with considerable in- - j terest, and in the meantime admonish depositors not to rush ' to get out, because if the Utah State National is obliged to pay, the depositors will lose practically nothing.

Mr. Hays has spent his life in thin famous old camp, and In as much a part of .it as the rocky hills that hem it in.
