Heath, assistant postmaster general, a web which it will be hard for him to break loose from. Even a long stay in England or Japan may not serve to sever its meshes. The following from the Philadelphia Record of June 12 is very interesting reading, but of course none of the Salt Lake dailies would ex-fir- st dare to reproduce it: Washington, D. C., June 11. When Postmaster General Payne returns to his desk tomorrow, after his excursion to the marriage of Miss Ruth Hanna, he will again be confronted with the insistent demand that he shall make public the reply of Joseph L. Bristow, fourth assistant postmaster general, to the charges of Seymour W. Tulloch, for. 21 years cashier of the Washington city post office. Postmaster General Payne has published the replies of Charles Emory Smith, former postmaster general; Perry S. Heath, former first assistant Postmaster general, and John A. Merof Washington. ritt, postmaster These were all denials of Tullochs charges. The reply of Bristow, submitted more than two weeks ago, has not been made public. Postmaster General Payne says he may give it out when he publishes the official report of the investigations as a whole. That means that there is a possibility of the report coming out next August or September, for the investigations will not be complete before that time. The fact Is that Postmaster General Payne Is afraid to give out Bristows reply. It compromises his dear friend and associate on the Republican National committee Perry S. Heath. Bristows report is not voluminous. It consists of two sheets of typewritten manuscript, not more than 600 words in all. But with it Mr. Bristow filed two exhibits. These exhibits are detailed reports of investigations of Heath, made some four years ago. of They show that practically all sustained. They Tulochs charges are show that Heath was in the post office did ring, and that when he says, as he in his leter to Payne, in reply to the assumes Tulloch charges, that he of his act full responsibility for every assumes responsiadministration, he remarkable rather some for bility transactions. So far as Heath is concerned Tulloch charges that Heath appointed politicians right and left to the postal service and used the Washington city post office as a dumping ground for TO ST.

As to wires It Is beyond the ability of the uninitiated to count them, hut there are dozens, scores, fifties and hundreds. In no other city in the United States would such conditions be permitted; in no other city do they obtain. Most of the eastern cities are not only compelling the poles and wires of electric light, telephone and telegraph companies to go underground, but are making the street railway lines use the underground trolleys, as they should use them. The poles and wires are a constant menace to life and an eyesore to the town. This city could be made one of the most beautiful in the world, if they were removed. With conduits as cheap as they are now there is no excuse for these poles standing any longer than it takes to lay conduits. The great cities of the east have taken action and why not Salt Lake? There is no use saying that such action would scare away capital. Capital hasnt been scared away from any of the places which have compelled the removal of poles and wires. All this talk about scaring away capital is invented .by capital for the purpose of scaring legislators and municipalities. It is high time this city was do ing something to make itself greater and here is one thing which can be settled in a very short time if our city councilmen and the mayor will only awaken to the fact that they have been entrusted with the government of a corporation which has great interests at stake. do likewise. o WE WILL BUY YOU A HOME.
