Show POLITICAL PERSONAL. Robert W. gloan, last survivor, of the" Hearst Independence league in Zion, refuses to survive and has gone so far as to declare that ho is for the man who has made a wilderness, where the camp of the Unterrifled once stood. Robert me b'y, we feel to congratoolate yoii, even if you do endorse citizen Bryan, for he always al-ways stands for something for a day -or two at a .time at least. But brother Elgholz won't like it a well, a Utile Ut-ile bit and the Western Federation in Nevada will blackball you, Robert, if you ever try 'to get in, and Wiillie Hearst will never make you a cabinet officer, but you can play better ball in the old league. , You always had a smooth face, Robert, and A that ought to be a great asset in a national cam- paign, which promises, as between JKern and Sheiman, to narrow down to the Issue of the, chin whisker versus the side-burn. ' ' Three lousing cheers for you, Robert, and a couple of grenadine punches. u t,5 5 t The open season for campaign contributions is "on, with Bryan slightly in the ldad, in the number and extensiveness of requests for financial finan-cial aid for his presidential race. The Peerle'ss one declares, he will turn over to the treasurer of the national committee all profits from the Commoner Com-moner above actual expenses. Good news for the faithful if Bryan is really making as much money from his paper as has been generally reported re-ported the past few years. It Is understood that he has also completed arrangements for suspending suspend-ing the publication of Jhe Commoner in case of his election and for refunding subscribers the amount of their unfilled subscriptions. The danger dan-ger of the Commoner's treasurer having to make) this refund could scarcely be termed pressing. i& Hearst's repudiation of Bryan, while probably failing to strike consternation to the heart of the national committee, is still of some importTfov, as Dooly puts it, "it takes all sorts of people to make up the Democratic party and then there are hardly enough." v 5 O The appointment of George Sheets tcth,e position po-sition of chief of detectives is encouraging. It means for one thing that there Is finally someone in authority at the station who can do something besides devising new forms of report blanks for patrolmen and station men. Pitt's stand on the closing of cigar stores Sundays is on a par with about everything else he has attempted since taking the chief's desk. He'll get that stockade Iet. i ? & &, & j It is generally understood that tho present residents of Commercial street will be moved to tlie west side on Jan. 1. In fact, many have al-i& al-i& r.eady .received orders to this effect. Commission men are already discussing Commeiclal street for their business and the Idea Is vapidly gaining .supporters. It would make an ideal location for tlie commission houses, and the latter would un- questionably pull In a number of other wholesale and jobbing concerns. i I 3 y c5 r : With reading the leport of Judge M.urphy' remarks In Ogden this week to the effect that It is part of a bartender's business to take abuse', f and his subsequent action in fining an Ogden bar-J ftjnder $50 for beating up an abusive patron one v t wonders what particular whlte-api'oned Ngentle- u m'en the judge has connected disastrously Vlth fp the past.

Beside two new books that are just off the -press In the east, "Three Weeks" takes its place with "Black Beauty" and standard nursery publications. "Five Days" and "Julie's Diary" are the two new brain feeders. The majority of the chapters in both are what the stars in "Three Weeks" indicate. indi-cate. Town Talk declares "Julie's Diary" ought to be called "The Happy Harlot," so rapturously and determinedly does Julie set about to accomplish accom-plish her own seduction. Both books are about the end of the limit. |
