Show H TRUTHS. H Among the talked of republican H candidates for mayor arc J. B. Cos- H griff and James E. Clinton. Both H names have been received With favor. V H Harry Joseph is not allowing his H congressional boom to whin. It's H going right along and Harry's friends, H and hcjias a good many, arc sanguine H that he will land the nomination H From speaker of the house to r.on- H grcssman is thought by them to be H a suitable trancition. BBi H Tliat Frank A. Timby while a pa M ticnt in St. Mark's hospital, suffering H from typhoid fever and in a delirious H state from the fever was permitted to H jump to his death from a four story H window is little short of criminal car- B lessucss. Mr. Timby was taken to H the hospital for the express purpose H of being taken care of and he was M paying well for it. Those in charge of the institution certainly know that M people suffering from fevers arc sub- M jeet to dclcrium.' and that proper prc- fl caution should be taken for their care M when in that condition. This, accord- M ing to the most reliable information M at hand, was not done in the case of H Mr. Timby. The fact of the matter B is that the hospitals generally in this H" city arc run too much with an eye to B profit. They pose as charitable in- H stitutious, but there is more posing than reality about it. The nurses arc M greatly over-worked, so is almost M everybody employed by them. Hard M work, very long hours and few days B off is the lot of the nurses. In some M cases they are almost done to death. M More nurses and more attendants, M should be employed. When one is B weary for lack of sleep and rcison- m able rest and recreation he or she H can't do good work of any kind. In H nursing and tending the sick the ut- H most vigilcucc and care arc abspltttc- H ly indispcnsiblc. The blame for Mr. H Timby's death should be placed H where it belongs and that from all H appearance is upon those who arc H charged with thccondiict of the hos-, -Bfl .; Bl pital. H H The Labor Press, ttftcr less than H three months' cfluxion of time incc H it started with Mr. A. L. DcTruax H as editor, has appeared in enlarged H form and consequently with more H space devoted to the real interests of H the laborers. The labor Press is the H most sensible and the most honest H advocate of the cattsc of labor we H have seen. Bfl H The line of the Tribune's campaign H ib opposition to the republican party H nationally and locally and currying H favor with the local grafters and fake B boomers. It's a policy that won't HI win. But the Tribune is used to los- H ing. It has been defeated in every H cause it espoused in the past five H years. Attorney Arthur Christensen, who has practiced law in this city for a number of years, has changed his base of operations and with his family fam-ily is now located at Pocatcllo, Idaho, where he is already enjoying a lucrative lu-crative practice. In casting around for mayorality timber a good many of the prominent promi-nent republicans have come to 'the conclusion that J. J. Daly would about meet all the requirements. He is a substantial citizen, a man of undoubted un-doubted integrity and business capacity. capa-city. He has time enough at his disposal dis-posal to attend to the duties of the office and conscicncc to faithfully execute any trust imposed upon him That is the general impress of Mr. Daily entertained by the public of this city. Chairman Darmcr of the "American" "Ameri-can" party in his address the other day defined the issue sqtfarely as Gentile against Mormon. This alignment align-ment may suit people with the narrow, nar-row, contracted and begotted views which were in vogue in the sixteenth century, but it docs not comport with the boarder and better ideas of these times. It may however be taken as a fair standard by which to gauge a large number of those .who compose com-pose the "American" party. Since Frank Cannon's departure some two months ago, to a private sanitarium for repairs, the Tribune's editorial page is about as interesting as the back sheet of a patent medicine almanac. Colonel (Sergeant) Bill Fossilifcr-ous Fossilifcr-ous Nelson is now editor-in-chief of the Tribune. It is hardly necessary to give this information to the readers read-ers of that paper. The Tribune's editorials edi-torials plainly show the hand of Ser gcant Bill. Will.ird Snyder is not likely to put up much money for the "American'' party m thcncxt -campaign, I-fc is stated on good authority that Wil-lard Wil-lard dropped qttitc a sum on the. last , election, besides having to make good some of the bad debts of that aggregation. aggre-gation. Kearns and Keith will not contrib utc to the coffers of the "American" party. They claim that furnishing the Tribune should be enough. The fact is that at p'resent Kearns is not very flush. ' S. P. Armstrong states that the mission of the "American" party is to drive every Mormon to 'Mexico where they belong. J. E. Darmer, chairman of the "American" party, in his speech the other night, expressed the same sentiment. Just imagine, if possible, Armstrong or Darmer trying to drive personally any Mormon out of the statel They are "seeing things" at night. The Tribune is now trying to read President Roosevelt out of the Republican Re-publican party. The next thing we may hear, special despatch to Indiana papers, that Utah is for Fairbanks, and that F. Coyote Scfrit will head the delegation. ""Congressman Howell "is back from Europe and it is said has scmi-offi-cially announced that he will be a candidate for re-election to congress next year. Don't forget that next Mpnday is republican day at Saltair. The Young Men's republican club is promoting the enterprise. A fine program has been arranged. There will be speeches, speech-es, not however enough to produce wcaryncss. There will be sports and fun and good fellowship and bathing and dancing and all that kind of thing. Those who don't go will miss a good thing whether they arc republicans democrats, socialists, "Americans" or anything else in the political line. Mr. W. A. Needham, of Z. C. M. I., left Thusday for New York. He makes the trip in the interests of the institution he represents. n i |
