Show If you wrsir to see Brigham City prosper, you must put away all strife from among you, and go in to heli) u;lc other, and thus build up the town. Tiik Buqlek takes no one-sided stand in politics; our aim is to treat every ono fairly; but we shall be pleased to publish articles from both sides. The names of a firm of New York lawyers are Ulysses Ketch um and Isaac Cheatem. The sign on their shingle reads: U. Ketchum and I. Cheatem. BmonAM City is the banner fruit town of the Territory; it has unequaled natural gas prospects; excellent water power; developing mines, and other advantages and resources, too numerous to mention. Then why should we not march on to prosperity? National politics, for obvious reasons, should cut no figure in the November city election. There should be two citizens' tickets instead. in-stead. But as the Territorial and county elections fall right in at the same time, it will be next to impossible im-possible to avoid the division on party lines. It is pleasant to know you have many friends, but after all the man who has no enemies is usually the man who never did anything fur the country, humanity hu-manity or himself. He is simply a ciphtT. A few steadfast friends and a few robust enemies spur a man to duty as he sees it, says an exchange. Altogether, we do not feci duty-bound, duty-bound, on account of past favors, to give the U. I. Company our undivided un-divided trade and patronage, but it is no more than fair, provided they cover any reduction in rates, that they secure our business. They pay mitre taxes than any of the other roads, and have built some kind of a depot here, which is more than the S. P. or theD.A H.G.can say. If these other two roads want our trade, let them run in here; erect buildings and pay a little revenue into the city coMcrs in the shape of taxes. Until they do this, they arc not entitled to the patronage of Brigham City. If our trade is not worth coming after, it is hardly worth the giving. |
