Priest, formerly of the Salt Lake Herald, but now Industrial agent of the O. S.

We submit that if Aldrich and Cannon are not direct arch enemies of the republic, they- - are at least enemies y g ; for are they not U3ing the machinery of the government to enable corpor ate greed to oppress the masses, which in turn is breeding discontent? And is not discontent of the people the greatest menace that can threaten either republic or monarchy ? In the absence of war, then, the American people can not only, improve their time, but they ean prove their patriotism by attending to the enemies of the republic domestic. - A line of Porlor Suits HAT IS PATRIOTISM?
