W. argument in this land of hard work, has bisen banned and the rank and file of the Bolshevists are toiling ten, twelve and even fourteen hours a day. The OBSERVATION PLANE A Sad Story, Mates! Ask Mr. Moyle Among the lugurbrious remnants of the San Francisco convention is James Moyle of Utah, assistant secretary of the treasury, administration devotee, who made the welkin ring with the cry Allah il McAdoo. To Mr. Moyle the silent McAdoo was as food and drink to sustain him in an arduous campaign. McAdoo was to be the savior of the Democratic party in Utah and therefore the shield and buckler, the sword and spear, the machine gun and the sawed-of- f shotgun, of Mr. Moyle. With the euphonious name of McAdoo upon his lips the stalwart aspirant for the toga was to go up and down the state with flaming zeal preaching the sacred covenant and all its works and the devil take the hindmost. And now how sad is that word now sometimes. And now McAdoo is no more. The strength of the Philistines prevailed and Sampson McAdoo, silent and sightless, shorn of his locks of power, lies in the dungeons of Gaza. There is a chance, of course, that he will arise in his wrath and shake down the palace builded by his enemies, but that will not help Mr. Moyle. It sim- ply will shake down Moyle also. s must set to The Utah work building their fences all over again. They hugged the soft delusion to their breasts that the campaign was half over that all they had to do was to climb into the McAdoo band wagon and jazz to victory. But now they must roll up their sleeves, take off their vests and in the sizzling suns of July and August, they must work mightily in preparation against the frosts of November. It is a sad story, mates. The Democratic argonauts, with the head and bust of McAdoo at their prow, set out upon their voyage in search of the golden fleece. And now only the bust of McAdoo remains and eke the bust of Mr. Moyle. Oh! What a bust is there, my countrymen! office-holder- Corrupt Practices Act Annoys Candidates All prospective candidates are prepared to join in three sneers for the corrupt practices act. Those who framed the act meant well and acted wisely in most respects, but you could not make a candidate, Irrespective of party affiliations, believe that. The candidate feels that the framers of the act were slave-driver- s who wanted to make it as hard for the office seeker as Simon Legree made it for Uncle Tom and Topsy. If you are about to run for office, or think you are, divert your mind for a few minutes every day with the corrupt practices act, for you will find it diverting even if disappointing. One of the specific prohibitions would prevent you from contributing to any religious or charitable organizations during the campaign. You can contribute to a dance hall or help finance a prize fight, but you can not give your customary donation to your church. You can hire a brass band or a hall, but you cannot spend your money on an orphan asylum or a hospital. Of course, you must make a sworn statement of your expenses and that will have a tendency to limit your riotous conduct. If you take a friend to lunch you must list it in your statement. If you have a few friends in for penny ante or even ice cream and cake you must list it that is to say if you would abide by the strict technicalities of six-ho- ur . man and Berkman are not among those compelled to do hard labor. Certainly, there are no converts for them to make. They are in that part of Russia where everyone believes, or feigns to believe in the doctrines which Emma and A1 coined into good American gold at nightly meetings for many years.

Yes, death is at the bottom of the cup; And every one that lives must drink m Bad Days For Our Reds Exiled In Russia The Reds deported from America must be leading a sad life in Soviet Russia. When they left the country, where they had idled away the years in agitation, they thought that Russia would be a paradise for those who love to loaf and talk. But, alas, Soviet Russia has gone to the dogs. Its hope of converting the world to its ideas has vanished. If fifty per cent of the reports ena mating from Soviet Russia, are true, the Lenine government has sentenced its subjects to work to hard work. From $25.00 to $40.00 After all, this Bolshevik regime is what we thought it was going to be just a dream of idleness cherished by hard working folk who find it necessary to produce to live. Naturally, they must work harder than did the peasants and the workmen under the czar, for war has meant waste and as the cupboard is bare and the bin empty the bounding Bolsheviki have been forced to settle down to grinding toil. The average toiler in America, working eight or nine hours a day, will produce more than the average toiler in Russia working fourteen hours a day, because, to use a business term, America is a going concern, intensively systematized these many years, whereas Russia is in a worse state of industrial disorganization than ever before. The old attempt to get something for nothing has failed. We must pay our way in this world and the basic money is work. Despite these worries and handicaps there seems to be no dearth in the crop of candidates. The corrupt practices act makes it painful to run, but most of the politically ambitious find it more painful not to run. Auto Bed and Tent Made In Utah We miss our guess if Emma Gold- the law. That is why the candidates are indignant. The honest candidates complain that they are handicapped by their well known virtues, for they say that a candidate who is not worried by technicalities and is willing to tfike a chance can spend thousands and perhaps escape the law's retribution, whereas an honest candidate might be arrested for failing to list an soda, or, perhaps, a bottle of homeice-crea- The Rippe Manufactured aad Bold hr Brothers Rippe 228 to 288 Floral Are SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH Entrance through J. 225 S.
