No test the gallant major ever underwent un-derwent on the battlefield requires the courage It would take to accept pre-election honors from his frineds, which have uniformly resulted in his being sacrificed to the inordinate greed of his competitor. 5 fcy It would now appear that the combination between be-tween Ncuhausen and Preece and the six Democratic Demo-cratic councilmen had been shattered by the involuntary in-voluntary retirement of Preece and the substitution substitu-tion of the Fifth precinct statesman, Davis, who has from the first poised above the minority like a sparrow hawk ready to rush to their aid as soon as they provided, a sufficient feast for him at the patronage banquet. Mr. Davis, in his new role of political contortionist con-tortionist and as chairman of the finance committee, com-mittee, takes it upon himself to introduce all administration ad-ministration measures in the council. Last week he presented the resolution for a division of the patronage, and this week he rushed a resolution through providing for a clerk for the land and water commissioner at a salary of $75, and one of his relatives was appointed to the position. The champion of the Red Onion even out-Preeces Preece as a patronage grabber, and as chairman of the waterworks committee has made so many demands for places in the waterworks department depart-ment that the superintendent, who has one or two political proteges of his own, appears to be ahout ready to indulge in a large-sized revolt. O t Sheriff Emery has some excuse for a little insomnia in-somnia just at present, as Peter Condie is not the only aspirant for the position of sheriff. Jack Smith and Seymour Naylor are casting longing glances in the direction of his office. 5 t tt Mr, A. J. Davis, finding that his noble and heroic fight for a renewal of the license of the Red Onion dive was unavailing, finally succumbed to the inevitable and at the last meeting of the council refrained from voting against Chief Lynchjs adverse recommendation on the Red Onion, On-ion, proprietor's application for a license. Peace has its defeats. 3 3 fcy ' And in all their activity (referring to a supposed sup-posed contest in the primaries on Thursday night between Kearns and Sutherland), they (the Kearns people) have almost shown an inclination to join the prospective if not the actual majority of the party. But apparently they remember what was, what is and what may be, and then sally their diminishing forces. That they are diminishing is a political certainty: that they will be routed is a political probability. Deseret News. The above appeared in the local columns of the organ of the church on Thursday night, althougii it has all the earmarks of an editorial announcement. announce-ment. It is new for people to "remember what is to be" and to "sally their forces," but possibly such things have happened. The extremely funny phase of the above, outside of its eccentricities in the reasonably correct use of English, is that the organ professes to take no hand in politics, when such uttterances as the above are made with the direct and ostensible purpose of creating discord in the ranks of the Republicans. It Is about time for that paper to come out as a Democratic organ or discard its pseudo-garb of political fairness and non-partisanship. 5 i5 5 Jakie Greenwald, the new Surveyor of the Port of Salt Lake, is prone to magnify his office. He is sure that his jurisdiction extends over a broader area than Manhattan Island and while he admits that for the present Manhattan claims a more numerous population, he points to the testimony of Joseph F. Smith and says "wait a little." lit-tle." Again he recalls the fact that there is no talk of deepening our harbor for could not tho navies of the earth all swing on their chains in our great Salt sea port and have room to spare. . fll While ordinary men are looking at things hero If H as they are today, Jaklo's points to Romulus, It H marking the boundaries of the imperial seven g jl hilled city with a plow which was but a crooked r fl stick, and says, "Well, others could not see it, but F H Romulus saw, even then, the Rome that was to be, 'v H and there are others." Congratulations to Jakie, H both on his facts and his dreams of what is to be. ii jH |
