We all enjoy such a scene, and there are few who sit in silence on such an occasion. And there are equally as few whose emotions do pot carry them into saying and doing things which under ordinary circumstances they, would not think of. All of which doubtless accounts for the . tolerance exhibited on these occasions. However, after making allowances for a great variety of emotior.il traits,- there still remains one type that stands in contrast with pjl others, and that is the vicious type, He usually exhibits commonly known as the sorehead. a negative attitude toward everyone, especially toward the players. ' His vocabulary is full of vituperation. He seldom sees good in any of the players as he is too busy watching for their weak points. Those seated around him feel ill at ease for fear he Will insult them as he does the players, and., thus spoil their enjoyment as well as his own. Thanks to the sportsmanship of the Proyo people there are but few in the sorehead class, and yet there are a few, Letsjbe careful not to drift in their direction, and let us lift those who "are in out. To do this will help the sport and help the player. BOQSTI i Those who are familiar with the conditions surround Sssg the arrest of a man here last Thursday who gave kis name as Nathan R. Nosely, and who posed as being deaf and onbt have registered a vigorous protest against his libera, tkm. It is stated that the man went into a store about two weeks ago and stole a silk shirt valued at $12.00 from a cus ftxner of that store. Thursday he entered A local store and .while the cashier was preparing a deposit, diverted her station from her work and stole $5.00. While attempting to , sake his getaway he entered another store and concealed fmself in a lavatory, and upon leaving tliis store ne seized A pair of shoes and several pairs of gloves,' according to those who assisted in chasing him down. He" was finally placed under arrest and confessed to Kavinff stolen the money and the goods, and said that he had handed the money to a pal as he left the store. He wa$ searched and no money was found, but a pathetic letter , which declared that he was deaf and dumb, was taken from Mm, which he had- - used to inveigle money from those who were, made to sympathize with him. The imposter was taken to Jail and during the night disturbance, which led the other prisoners to that he was planning on hanging himself. He gave . evidence of being' frantic for want of a drug, and the city physician (not the county physician as was formerly reported ia this paper) was called to administer the drug. JJRerr visiting the prisoner the physician expressed an cjLaiin that the man should be released from custody, no dixbt believing that he would feel better physiciaUy. Accordingly Chief Manwaring took it upon himself to revise, the prisoner and his pal, who was arrested ;on a vagrancy charge.' A ticket toa neighboring town was purchased by the chief of police for one of the men. . This is the record upon which those interested in the base their complaint. Therc is little questiohhut'that there are grounds for feeling that the officers handled this cue fit sach a way as to invite criminals to this city. True the man may have caused the officers some is a drug addict and were held in jail; but that, to not seem a justifiable excuse for sending him on to a neighboring town to continue his nefarious work. Nor it seem proper that after the man had been arrested ssd confessed to robberies and other fraudlent means of chaining money that the city physician and the chief of jihxhould act in the capacity of a committing magistrate ' . , 1 111 set the prisoner free. , It might not be amiss to remind the chief of police that we have a city court with a judge whom we pay to act in .that capacity, whose business it is to hear evidence before rendering a decision. We might further state that it is the duty, of the chief of police and the other police officers to secure evidence of any crime thus committeed and submit 2 to the court. But a duty which is paramount to all of these is their obligation to protect society. In this in-- " stance, they failed miserably, and their excuse, like most t excuses, is one that does not justify such mistakes. -- f, be-Ci- re trou-Ua.if.- he a, da da v. OUR CONTEST.. T!L Notwithstanding the pessimistic predictions of a our including our contemporary editor who experienced some difficultly with contests he and uc ted, which, we are informed, would not bear the inspection of the postal authorities, the Posts big subscription campaign just ended was a winner. Besides adding several hundred new subscribers to our list we have fiddled every obligation to our contestants, and so far as we lave Been able to learn all are well satisfied. Of course, there were some disappointments, but no one lost. The three leading candidates ran a close race. They1 worked long and, hard, and we are told encountered some unpleasant experiences. A few people, among whom were some who pose a3 our best citizens, went out of their way to try to discourage the candldates by telling them that the contest was a fraud and that none of them would be paid for their trouble. We arc, how ever,-gla- d to, be able to say 'that the judges, 'ffiosc integrity 'Is unimpeachable, stated that they were ery well plerucd with the contest, and that the records lowed every phase cf it to have been conducted in a strictly Businejdke manner. They reported it as clean as any business ttey had ever had anything to do with. Yvre therefore hope that if The Post has another occasion to conduct a contest, the murmurings of the few will not be bna-- d by the better element of the city and the 'territory this 'paper covers." We might remind 'our readers that we are here to stay, and whether we stay or not, so long ai we conduct .this papers affairs they -- will be bandied in as businesslike manner as is "possible for us to Aandle them, and our policy will continue to forbid any grounds upon which those who are unfamiliar with it to establish a basis for unkind remarks. num-o- f fellow-townsme- n,' - The reason a good many men fall is that when they themselves slipping they try to pull themselves up by their bootstraps.

The lie has been told in one campaign after another.. It goes to sleep. -- It is half forgotten. It comes forth again. It is proved to be a falsehood. Again it is revived, There are today .intelligent children under six years of age who. drnot know that the . canard is an old one, but there is not a. fourteen-year-ol- d newsboy in the country who has not laughed at it as a stale ' Invention. The writer of this paragraph has known two candidates acfor office living within a mile of each other who-wercused of saying that a dollar a day was enough for any workingman. In neither case1 did anybody believe the charge. In both the ancient and fishlike smell was a matter for ridicule.' But there is often a grain of history in a handful of myth, and it may be of some interest to go into the pedigree of the story. Long ago Henry Ward Beecher said that a man could, exist on a wage of a dollar, day i At. the prices of that era many did live on less than a dollar per day. Under the low , tariff of 1857 there were mechanics Who accepted half la dollar per day. Many of us can remember day laborers who , received ninety cents per day, and whb existed. They lived so near their work that they had no carfares to pay; their rents were low; their diet was plain; they sometimes obtained their fuel without cost, and extra jobs were sometimes compensated by food. -- At all events Beecher was not speaking of luxury or of comfort, simply of. a standard under which the laborer could keep body and soul together. Henry David Thoreau has left a statement bf his expenses,' and his bills were surprisingly small. New York papers used to print fantastic tales of the diet on which George Francis Train managed to support his frame. We have not-th- e accounts of Goldsmiths hermit who had a scrip with herbs and fruits supplied, and water from the spring, but presume that the vegetable products were cheap and that there was no water tax.

But the tongue of rumor was in Beechers time, as in all times, active, and it was soon gossiped about that he had said that a dollar a day was enough for any workingman. An angry mob threatened to break his windows. From that . day the story has been recurrent at longer or shorter in-- " tervals.

HICKS SOREHEAD THE long since Provo like many other cities the county sent out great quantities of adverthroughout tising with a hope of attracting people to our beautiful city. Great sums of money were spent for this purpose, and sometimes the results were very meager. Today we firid ourselves confronted with a problem much more perplexing than that of bringing people into our midst; it is that of caring for those who come and the hundreds who would like to come If we could house them. Of course we are not alone in our difficulty, for cities everywhere are experiencing the same trouble, and those who are best able to cope with the situation., will profit most when ' ' " times become normal , again. Provo is sadly in need of more public-spirite- d men who are not afraid to risk a dollar for the upbuilding of the city .5 men who have a few dollars they can put into a building that will house the families that want to come here to live. We need a large apartment house, and, while building material is high, we believe such an investment would pay, as it is not a matter of how cheaply one can rent a place, but how soon." We have men in Provo who can well afford to build an apartment house. We have in mind a man who some time ago complained because he thought our Commercial club was encouraging outside capital to come in and build a large apartment or a hotel, and declared that it wa3 unfair, and that local men should be given the preference. The time is now ripe for this man, or any other, to get busy. Provo needs the building and no one need worry about its not being occupied by profitable renters.
