Show THE MAN IN TEE TUB The man in the tub sees much that tho man on the corner misses There are many reasons for this and one is taut the man in the tub is considered to be so insignificant insig-nificant so low down as it were that most people are not careful about what they say when he is around Another reason rea-son is that the tuj man is something of a silent man although not a councilman and silent men you know are counted fools the world over No one is particular to what he says in the presence of a fool J Among other things the tub man hears all about the police muddle which has worried wor-ried the peopli the council and heaven forgive them the poor old g r down the street called the Tribune Her heard on the sneak man is also worried poor fellow I because he finds he cannot make the public I pub-lic and the mayor think as he does Now it is bad enough to be a silent man but to be unable to think a thought is just the condition of the old girl and her heard on I the sneak man I they could think they would ask How are we to swallow this next February when the time comes to tell l that this has been the best and brightest I administration Salt Lake city was ever afflicted with1 But they haue gone too far now to retreat re-treat and I hope they will continue to make campaign lire for the next election The Man in the Tub reviewed the brief though brilliant career of Cantlon the great who now leads a drum corps dressed like human frogs in the interests of Aquarium Ryan In that review he told some unpleasant truths about the great sergeant and the sergeant got on a drunk and was fired firedV V it Now it is strange a man like Parker should be charged at this late day with being be-ing rude and uncivil I say late day because be-cause a half century has rolled past him since he first saw it rain They say he is unfit to hold his position and yet he was mate of a whaling vessel for four years and served on a man of war eight years and was captain of a New York City lire ilo partment for several years I ho isnt competent to discharge the onerous duties of ein a policeman the Lord help the rest of 4 4 The Tribune must feel a peculiar sensation sensa-tion in pounding away at John 1 Young after lauding him to the skies before the last city election What hurts the Heard on the Sneak man is that the marshal insists in-sists upon being a silent man and keeps on sawing wood 4 I 4 I occurs to me that if Marshal Young has asserted himself months ago a good I deal of this trouble would novel have occurred oc-curred and some other unpleasant things would have been avoided One policeman would never have been humiliated by being ordered out of a certain hotel by the landlord land-lord for hugging the servant girls Another An-other officer would not have been under the necessity of fainting at a ladys door in order to secure her kind offices and have a pitcher of nice cold water thrown over him as a reviver 4 But then we have to live and learn and perhaps the Tribune and the great admin istratiou of ours may yet learn something What will become of Balmaceda Clute after next February The Man in the Tub is good as most riddles but this one beats him Now they say that Chief Stanton looks like the Shah of Persia when he appears in full uniform Well the resemblance must bo an outward one if any exists because be-cause old Abdul never lost his head and Stanton was never yet known to have his with him when he neeaed one There are several other things that the Man in the Tub knows and they may come out later I will inform the public however before closing that Doc Sprague has let a contract to a home company for running tunnell under the sidewalks in front of his homo so that he can get into the street without the aid of his anal ladder |
