In a wise car-fender, or rather anti-car fen- I !(&&iffH der editorial the News gravely states that: "It i Hih'nH is not supposable that the street car company de- j S'jMEB sires to slaughter or injure any person who may ' illltiraB come In the way of its traffic." Suppose wo state I E'fPpB it truly this way: "It is supposable that the street ill ''Tjfl car company prefers to take the risk of slaughter- $' ' VM ing or injuring people rather than to go to the $,'$ ' 4 fl expense of providing their cars with modern fen- m& , & ders." Together with boy motormen, flat wheels, ' ' 'Jul rough tracks and fenderless cars, the street car w a'llH service of Salt Lake City has no parallel on earth, , rail InPfl and there is not another newspaper on earth that IB'! eH would dare defend such a system and light off civ- m f ' H ilized improvements except the Deseret News. ifiiinpf iifl The article was characteristic, and a vivid H' !!' reminder of the earlier and worse days of the H'EllS News when it stood planted in the path of every to i ' J Wto proposed improvement of the city. A marked fisiB'H coincidence was a speech by Mr. Cleveland, in I ifH another column of the same paper, bewailing the j t&JBH fact that the people sat down on his ponderous 1 'flfifl anti-tariff platitudes of 1887. iiiirSB IfSS tSflBi |
