When this paper was started on Sept. 14, 1901, it set out with its very first issue to drive Mr. Qooly from the board of public works, and after a years almost constant effort it has succeeded. It is a victory to be proud of and Truth feels that it has done the people of Salt Lake and the state generally a very great service. The fight was waged against fearful odds. Dooly dominated practically everything in' the municipality for a dozen years. He had the entire, press of the city with the exception of Truth on his side. He had the mayor with him also, and he had the city council and the other members of the board of public works at his feet. He also had the prestige of being at the head of the local branch of the great banking house of Wells, Fargo & Co.; he had practically the whole city terrorized: no one dared to oppose him. It is said that Mr. Doolys troubles with Wells, Fargo & Cos, bank are not by any means over. There is a great deal to come out yet and it will appear in tbe not very distant future. Truth, however, has accomplished what it set out to do and now says vale Dooly. In this connection it might also be mentioned that Truth ha9 done the people of Ogden good service in the matter of one William Glasmann, mayor of Ogden. Through the efforts of Truth his congressional aspirations were blighted, and as a factor in politics he no longer exists. He will doubtless serve out his term as mayor of Ogden, but it will probably be the last public office he will ever hold. If Truth should never accomplish anything more than relieving the people of Salt Lake of Dooly and the people of Ogden of Glasmann it will not have lived in vain. Truth congratulates Mayor Thompson on the reorganization of the board of public works. Spencer Clawson will be a good chairman and his appointment will meet with the approval of the public.

The real science of politics is now being unfolded to the people of Utah for the first time. The control of the Salt Lake Tribune was engineered from the headquarters of the National Republican committee. The starting of the Telegram was a part of the plan. The prostitution of the Herald came as a natural consequence, and the machine was then in working order. Whether the people will, endure this political monopoly is a question that must be determined. - - - . - STRANGER things have happened than the utter overthrow of United States Senator Kearns and his - well-construct- ed machine. Since the political definition of an honest man is, a citizen who will stay bought, it is entirely possible that there are . fewer honest men than the senator has ever dreamed of in his philosophy. - ; The ice cream and cigarette billingsgate that passes between Senator Kearns Tribune and Senator .Kearns Herald denotes a high order of journalistic genius.

Mr. Williams has three more contracts running and intends building a terrace. Work will be begun on the three matured contracts at once. All people who want to own their homes can do so by taking out contracts with the National Association. Its foolish to go on paying rent when you can pay for your home with less money than you pay for rent. Reason it out and see how silly it is for you to go on paying rent for the privilege of living in another mans house, and at the end of all yoor life have nothing to show forthe he money yu have paid.
