Dalbey, of Washington Court House, Ohio, who, with his wife, arrived in Salt Lake City the other day, enroute to Los Angeles. I have made it a rule since leaving home two weeks ago to feel the political pulse of tourists and men of sound judgment in the cities through which I have passed with a view to ascertaining the probable result of the presidential election, said the Ohio man, and I can see nothing but Harding, the wiqner. 1 have felt out ranchmen, ministers, teachers, miners, merchants, etc., and the answers are practically the same, Harding will be an easy winner. On the Pacific Limited on the D. & R. G. railroad, while tied up by a washout near Canon City, I took a straw vote of the passengers, including men and women voters, with the following portuitity again to denounce the state land board for squandering the school funds of the. state on the village of Orem. The land board bought $110,000 of the towns bonds at par when state bonds were selling at 87. Here was an initial loss of $14,000. There was no excuse for such a waste of the public funds. The town was incorporated for the purpose of dipping its hands into the state treasury and drawing forth gold and it succeeded in that purpose with the aid of the state land sinking fund the town cannot afford to pay the interest and it will probably be some hundreds of years after the present Democratic administration is out of office that the debt will be paid unless the inhabitants strike gold or oil on the townsite.

Salt Lik STAW VOTE AT WASHOUT A little close observation on the part of a traveler between Ohio and the Pacific coast firmly convinces one So far from being able to provide a i with city materials and labor and the commissioner who uses city labor to paint his house will vote with Mr. Barnes to employ a third nurse in such a good cause. Men who are so generous to themselves with the publics property ought not to begrudge a simple act of humanity and justice to city employes. When the village was baptized Mr. Orem stood for it, but now that it has grown rich and profligate on state school funds, perhaps he does not wish to stsand for it any longer. board.

The total of the two straw votes shows Harding 100, and Cox 49, or 2 to 1 for Harding. . NEEDED: CLEAN HANDS It has long been an established prin- ciple of law that whoever comes into court in an attempt to settle a grievance, must come in with clean hands, or not be accorded a hearing. Or, to go back to the Biblical phrasing, one must not expect to be able to remove the mote from anothers eye, while overlooking the beam in his own. And yet, the government in launching through the Department of Justice a campaign against profiteering is guilty of coming into court with unclean hands, as shown by the report of the earnings of the Federal Reserve banks of the country for the six months ended June 30. This report, which shows the average net earnings of the twelve district banks to be 151.2 per cent, details the earnings of the different banks as follows: Atlanta, 151.5; Boston, 127.0; Chicago, 173.7; Cleveland, 109.1; Dallas, 83.5; Kansas City, 128.1; Minneapolis, 118.0; New York, 203.6; Philadelphia, St. Louis, 121.8; Richmond, 113.6; 121.4; San Francisco, 156.8. Average, 151.2! Among the alleged private industry government profiteers which the through the Department of Justice is investigating are certain members of the coal industry. Let us be moderate. Can you conceive of a coal operator who would not be content with a six months profit of 83.5 per cent, that being the return made by the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, Texas regardless of how avaricious he might be? And we doubt sincerely if the worst offender in the matter of price which the coal, trade includes, ever dreamed of a profit of 203.6 per cent, which was not a dream, but a reality, in the case of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York City. Perhaps the government to resort to Biblical expression again operates on the plan by which it does not let its right hand know what its left hand doeth. Nevertheless, under the circumstances may we not suggest to the Department of Justice that an investigation looking for profiteers should, like charity, begin at home. The Black Diamond.
