When these suits were filed, the commissioners rushed into pub-li- e print demanding immediate trials of the cases to bring out the ruth. The early trial of these cases is up to the defendants. It is their move. It is twelve days since sumons in the cases were served on the commissioners. They have had twelve days in which to take some action to bring the suits to issue, and thus prove the sincerity of their published demand for immediate trial. Not a move has been made by the commissioners. Now, they apparently want to delay the bringing of the suits to issue. Maybe, they are not so anxious now, to have the TRUTH brought out in court. TO BE COMMENDED Following publication in Tho Statesman last Saturday of the facts in connection with the operations of professional bondsmen in Salt Lake, City Judge John II. Morgan on Monday suspended E. T. Egli and George W. Smith from writing any more bonds in cases coming before his. court. Judge Morgan is to be highly commended for this action, which resulted from the failure of the bondsmen to make good on bail bonds which they had written for R. J. McCarty and J. H. Mires, both convicted of liquor law violations. With commendable initiative, the city jurist has struck a blow which will go far toward curtailing the numerous abuses which are always associated with the professional bail bond business. The fact that Judge Morgan found it necessary to suspend these bondsmen, bears out the contention advanced last week by The Statesman, to the effect that if it came to a Bhow down on a forfeiture of any considerable size, the state would find it hard to collect on bonds of Smith and Egli. Smith, it appears, is a brother-in-laof both, Sherif Cliff Patten and Chief Deputy L. L. Larsen, and, according to numerous prominent attorneys, he and Egli, by virtue of that relationship, have been mopping up much gravy in the bail bond business. Smith is also on the county payroll as the official county gardener. The two forfeited bonds which brought on the suspension total $1500, to recover which, County Attorney Wallace Kelly has filed suit against the bondsmen. The attempt to collect will be watched .with interest.

To use what you have la much better than to save what you have.. The only cure for waste is proper use. Some would substitute the word economy for use. This la wrong. The word economy represents n half-ide- a born of fear. Economy Is no cure for waste; use is the word. Use is alive, positive, active, it adds to the common good. There are two kinds of waste, that of the prodigal who misuses his substance, that of the sluggard who allows his substance to rot through nonuse. Both are rres tors of waste. The strict economizer Is in danger of being classed with the sluggard. The remedy in both Instances ia use.

In the natural order of events, the commercial careers of most of them are' bounded on the one side by n graduation exercises and on the other by a wedding ring, or possibly a baby carriage. But those women workers whose activities ere concerned with higher things than chocolate-dippinbargain counters and the touch system. refer to their careers rather than to their Jobe and are deeply concerned ovbr any shown discrimination against the woman worker on account of her rex.
