The people have now arrived at a parting of the ways; and the result of this election will determine whether the country, as a whole, is wet or dry. Maine has spoken. The battle in that state was between those who wanted to continue prohibition and those who insisted on personal liberty" to do as they pleased so far as the personal use of liouor was concerned and the result was overwhelming for the party which adhered to the enforcement of the 18th amendment. The election in Maine demonstrated the fact that the minority made almost as much noise as the majority, but they were sadly lacking when the votes were counted. The same is true here In Ogden and in Utah. The peo-are for the 18th amendment and loover, instead of personal liberty and A1 Smith. The wets make the noise; the drya furnish the votes. We are glad Mr. Roberts has spoken in a manner which will separate the sheep from the goats. Most of the men and women of Utah are lined up against this personal liberty" racket, which means personal liberty in the making, disposing, and use of booze. Right here in Ogden, in public speeches, one frequently hears bolshevism. radicalism and prohibition included in the same class. There can be no doubt as to the meaning of such ' a statement it is wet! READ OFF RANDALL AN1) II AMMON At this time it seems the cards are being stacked to perpetuate the deal through which the taxpayers of Ogden and Weber county are to pay excessive prices for the publication of the delinquent tax list, the official list of nominations, and other notices which are required by law to he published. Early in July the board of county commissioners advertised for bids for printing these notices, and in response to the advertisement The Tost, a legal newspaper, entered in the post office at Ogden, Utah, submitted a bid of 50 cents per inch for regular reading notices and 75 cents per inch for tabular matter the delinquent tax list.

NINETEEN TWENTY-EIGHT BANNER TELETHONS -- . YEAR The year 1928 will mark a new high At point in telephone development. service of extensions time the present and improvements of facilities are being made to a greater extent than ever before. A recent announcement states that more than $11,000,000 in addition to the immense sum already authorized, is to lie spent on constructing new long distance circuits to almost 60 million, as compared with 36 million spent in 1927. The public has made this necessary, by a steadily growing demand for long distance service. During the first half of this year an increase of 20 per cent over 127 has been noted. The telephone industry, by making it simple to talk to persons hundreds or thousands of miles away at small cost, has performed a great social service.
