Show THE EIGHT I M MACULATES TO THE FRONT AGAIN. As was expected by those who have watched their nefarious misdoings during the present administration, ad-ministration, the Eight Immaculates of the City Council last Monday made a rancid and ignoble effort towards the dislodgement of George Sheets as chief of police. Doubtless these political petit )' larcenists had a private wire connected with the office of the First Presidency when they made this spasmodic and disgraceful display of spleen. In their efforts to encompass the undoing of Sheets, the Eight Immaculates show the most abject ab-ject subjugation to the dominant church and a brew of ecclesiastical fanaticism so contemptible that they deserve to be whipped ignominiously from the municipal temple. To elect such egoistic egois-tic mental contortionists to the City Council as Messrs. Cottrell and Eardley was a criminal miscarriage mis-carriage in the ethics of political decency. While possessing a little more semblance of human intellect, in-tellect, it is only rational and fair to state that Mr. Spence and Mr. Robinson are equally iniqui-tous iniqui-tous and are reeking with the same limbo. The two councilmen first aforementioned vend carrots and tape during six days of the week and on the evening of one make a misguided essay at representing the interests of 70,000 enlightened citizens. That is about as serious a transfiguration transfigura-tion of justice as it would be to disarrange the interior in-terior of the United States Senate by filling the seats of that august chamber of statesmen with denizens of Zanzibar or Kentucky moonshiners. The fact is that the Immaculate Eight represent repre-sent only a portion of the populace of this city. Their work is solely in the interests of their fellow fel-low churchmen and they are so mentally decrepit and diminutive that it would be hard to lodge them in a well or crowd them through a church door. Their Efforts against Mr. Sheets are simply sim-ply part of an ecclesiastical conspiracy and a dastardly das-tardly one therewith. Such absolute sjaves to an Institution antagonistic to proper municipal government gov-ernment should be given a large apportionment of 3pace in some bleak gulley such as the one where the nefarious pest house is located. Mr. Sheets has made a very good record dur ing his brief incumbency of the office to which he was wisely and legally appointed. Notwithstanding Notwithstand-ing the vindictive buzzing of the Eight Immaculates, Immacu-lates, he has accomplished in two weeks what his antiquated predecessors have failed to do in four years the absolute obliteration of the- Sunday liquor traffic. What more does the whimpering News editor and the Eight Immaculates desire? Mr. Sheets probably made a mistake in not opening open-ing the policemanic performances with prayer and sending the last belated vag into dreamland on the wings of an ornate benediction. George might also win over the Immaculate Eight Serviles by coming forward briskly with the monthly ten per cent. This continual harrassing of a competent official of-ficial by the Eight Slaves, through malice engendered engen-dered by the mere fact that the appointment went through diplomatically and without the connivance con-nivance and consent of the Eight Pariahs and the News editor is a municipal outrage almost parallel paral-lel with the pest house scandal. If the Double Quartette would take care of some of the municipal affairs in which the general public is interested and keep the indigo of their fussy fingers from an official who is serving the city successfully and efficiently, the suffering citizens citi-zens of this priest encompassed metropolis would heave a sigh of relief so deep and sonorous that its detonations would reverberate above the heights of Mount Pisgah. && i5 t This repetition of the wrangle Sisters Jaw and Scold will not occur constantly in the next council coun-cil if representative men can be induced to accept ac-cept the positions. v5 tffi w "Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch" is to be dramatized. Good Lord, what next? v& & 5 Fra Elbertus says that the formula for hate is: Keep your eye on each other's deficiencies. If that is so the formula for-mula for love is "Sweet's Carnation Chocolates." No deficiencies in them. At least we can't find any, and neither can you. SALT LAKE CANDY CO. |
