Show r From the Juicy Junction. J When Dr. Condon's special bunch of trouble I hunting legislators came up to Billtown to inciden- tally visit the Reform school on March 1st, and i later to harshly grate the public ear with sundry and divers tales of woe anent the institution, it he-came he-came the duty of the Weekly to relieve the strenuous stren-uous situation by calling attention to the premature prema-ture reports as unreliable brands of dope. The , purpose of this paragraph -of literary excellence is J to remind the reading public that this paper was ' right, as usual, in its investigation forecast. The joint committee has borne us out, and now, that J the sensation has passed, the legislature has its ' eyes open to the real needs of the school. It's an ill wind that don't blow something off the Christmas tree. For this investigation we are truly thankful. j v i(5 i And so the gallant colonel, the Kearns satellite who introduced Colonel Mazuma into Weber coun- 1 ty, has been taken care of at last. Solicitor for the the Internal Revenue department! Salary $4,600. Good for Hayes. And while recounting the good let the tyro-politicians who have felt the smart of the Kearns whip, say Amen! There are people in Weber who will never be convinced that Hayes' ap-y ap-y pointment was not due to the efficacy of prayor. iHe had some friends who loved him so! But that '. is irrelevant. Whether Hayes was entitled to any thing from a party point of view may always i be a fit subject for conjecture, but that he was J faithful to Tom can never be questioned. Hayes '" delivered the goods, and Tom was constantly re minded of it. So was the president. When the plum tree was shaken Hayes was there with his basket. Praise God from whom all blessings flow. ty tv The elimination of Hayes leaves the office of district attorney at the disposal of the governor. J That he will act wisely and well is a foregone conclusion. He has a field of three to pick from. The moral crusader and anti-Kearnsite, Agee; the hair-triggered lightweight, the little Halverson; and the blasphemer of the president and Bill, the catch-as-catch-can Murphy. Of the three the Irishman Irish-man appears to have the pole. He has the endorsements, en-dorsements, and is an old time friend of the gov-i gov-i ernor. Agee is not an unlikely candidate. Ho 4 Is now in Weber politics, but he is a good citizen, i and his services to the party entitle him to consld- eration. In a moment of lassitude the governor f t i once smiled on Halverson, and the memory of that smile makes the little fellow think he has a cinch. It is a pity such unselfish innocence should be rewarded re-warded by disappointment. |
