Martin declared that he was going to bring the corporation to time, and invited all dissatisfied patrons and citizens who observed poor street lights and who were not getting good service to send him a postal card. He would do the rest. He appears to have been doing the rest ever since. To have had a perfect corner on a rest. He Is either a large bluffer or else people have no But returning to that postal card scheme. Every one who has written Martin a postal is hereby invited to write Truth, telling us about it Do not delay; send them In right away. We want to drive this fox from his lair and see what he is doing. If the dear public have responded to this invitation and have complained of poor service, let us see why this public official hasnt taken some action looking toward public relief. Come on, people, with your postal cards, and If we do not give this chap a merry waltz for his money you can throw bricks at us until saculae saculorum. Never before, since the health department was started, has the garbage collection system4 been in such a deplorable condition, and it seems as if it was high time that some measures were taken looking toward its betterment. Especially in the Second precinct, Councilman where Preeces team, driven by brother-in-laMcKenzie, does the collecting, is the situation becoming intolerable, although kick after kick and protest after protest have been made. In Whittaker Court and Vine avenue and w 1IIAAAAAH AiiAIAlAUimAllAAiAliiiilAiiimmAAl 9 along West Third South garbage cans overflowed for five weeks, until finally the exasperated populaco threatened to take steps toward jacking some one up in the council, when lo, the wagon appeared and temporary relief was afforded. But from other portions of that part of the city come complaints of accumulating offal and refuse and the of wagons to carry off the stuff. For years every one has been urged to clean up. But what is the use of trying to clean up when the city does not do its duty? Really, It appears that some man with energy ought to be selected to take hold of this matter; that more teams, and drivers minus that tired feeling, should be engaged, because warm weather Is upon us and accumulations of last winter should bo removed. The neoplo, however, cannot hope to havo busi"clicf until this brother-in-laness is enacd. Too many relatives of rouncilmen arc employed to loaf away the time. Truth knows whereof it o speaks when it says that these doing w'agcn drivers are net their duty. Loads weighing loss than 500 pounds are taken to the crematory, while cans of recking stuff await the coming of the men wlicse duty it is to empty them.

Speaking of Martin; he now poses as the only genuine, Republican In town. He is a stalwart of stalwarts and no one can debate politics with him and not be convinced of his sincerity. Yet It is not so long ago that he was a Democrat and was holding office under a Democratic sheriff, John Howells, as deputy at Saltair.
