Show ON THE SQUARE. The morning organ of the church volunteers a pledge to newly-elected candidates. It is this : "I will faithfully discharge every duty of my office, and as God is my watcher, I will not deal dishonestly, even to the measure of a penny." That is good, only it needs some explanation. For instance, the full text should read something like this : . "I will faithfully discharge every duty of my office, keeping in mind where my first allegiance rests; 60 that should there be a warrant issued for me to serve on Heber Grant on his return, I would not be able to find him, and as God (which is Joseph) is my watcher, I will not deal dishonestly; I will rely on Gov. Cutler issuing a reward, and even to the measure of a penny will . I pay my tithing, tith-ing, even if I have to steal it." That would be something like it, and the people peo-ple would not have a chance to say they did not understand it. |
