Show ff f P f f wherein lie comment the e editors editor 10 S column C 01 UM n or n D anc ehni him please 7 s LET US understand 16 WHERE WE STAND in view of the fact hat that attorneys regularly employed by the utah fuel company are taking such a prominent and active part in harr assing the county commissioner missioners and are so 20 constantly engaged in stirring ng up strife and turmoil in carbon county the new news beg begs leave to suggest that the courdy commissioners take steps to ascertain once and for all time whether the ll 11 higher officers of the aforesaid utah fuel company approve of and uphold these I 1 a acts ch of their attorn attorney eyt if we have the utah fuel company to fight along with the lawless element let us enow 9 it and train our guns impartially on nil enemies of carbon county the other corporations of carbon county are content to go ahead and confino themselves to the endeavors for which they are arc chartered chattered and the news cannot believe that the head officers of the utah fuel company desire to be classed as trouble breeders bleeders both lides sides are claiming a victory in the tho demurrer proceedings incident to the hill vs kolter kelter and cases it is well that everybody is so easily satisfied while ho he was not in attendance at the progressive conference held in salt litke ike on the evening of feb those in attendance recognized the service rendered the party in the past by 0 C nelson of this city by giving him n place on the resolutions f ons committee people who last fall read in a local piper a longwinded long winded article sf signed ned by county attorney act hinney stating that the laws against gaming were henceforth to bo be rigidly enforced cannot bo be blamed if they now wonder why county attorney does not fellow follow up his threat by enforcing said laws newspapers News pipers that can be hired to defend evil have ever been the bane of decency loving people and have contributed more to lawlessness than even the saloon or the brothel but the day of that class of publication is drawing to a close for the people pay no more mora attention to them than the moon doe does to the baying of a cur A missouri newspaper proprietor quickens the memories of his subscribers in the following manner all persons knowing themselves indebted to this offida are requested to call and settle all those indebted to this office and not knowing it are requested to call and find out those knowing themselves indebted and not cr to call ara requested to stay in one place long enough for us to catch them those who are profiting by the lawlessness prevailing in carbon county are wont to say that those people who do not like conditions as they are should get out no argument the laws were made to restrict the criminally inclined and were intended to bo be enforced it is the duty of good citizens to see that they are enforced no matter chat becomer of the criminal classes and thoss who profit by lawlessness what must people outside of price think of the men of this community when they read that it was necessary for the women to organize and petition the city council to enforce the laws what manner of men must they think us anyway and what must they think of city officials who have sworn to uphold the constitution of the united states and to enforce the laws of the state of uenh who must be begged by po PC to do their duty please whisper tho the answer it is too humiliating to bo be spoken aloud A bunch of tinhorns tin horns borns gathered in a certain barber shop saturday and resolved that one newspaper was enough for price and that the news nowa should be boycotted out of business sure mike I 1 the editor of the news can go to any penitentiary in tho united states and get a resolution passed by the convicts to the effect that the warden of the institution is is the only man who is rightfully there on with the dance boys the news will be here when you are hunting green fields or running froni from the officers I 1 the county commissioners could waste several thousand dollars of the public funds and the people would still be better off than they were when the bull moose commissioners were installed why then doea does the apologist for evil howl so loudly when the commissioners epeldi few hundred dollars in an endeavor to have the law enforced would the editors of the apologist havo have lawlessness continue rather than spend a little money to have conditions changed it looks that way to a man on the ground people who read the braffet paper of this city are liable to get the idea ida that its supposed editor mr watrous actually hates the county commissioners ners such is not the case however for watrous never mise misses an opportunity to make himself agreeable when he be meets one ono of the commissioners on the streets and the writer has bas heard that watrous has said he would rather fight with the commissioners than against them its a case of obeying his masters voice before you condemn watrous too severely remember that i the boss may have string strings on him of which you know nothing marko braffett Braff eto is an exacting boss and demands much of liis his editor tho night night the present city administration was placed in nomination A W horsley Ho raley president pies ident of carbon stake acting as chairman of the convention promised those present that if moral conditions in price were allowed to get as bad under the men then being placed in hi nomination as they had bad been in the tho past ho lie would remedy them oven even if he had to go higher up in view vier of the fact that conditions am are right bow worse than they ever were under frank olson a regime the tha news would liko t to ask brother horsley horsier how much worse conditions must become before he goes higher up van i till this heat last weeks issue of the tho apologist for evil sometimes referred to as tho the great greit moral and religious and sometimes called tho the eastern utah advocate howls so loudly and bitterly at the county commissioners for daring to ask that the books of tho the county high h hool board and the district schools bo be audit audited cd that many people are wondering if there is some very special reason why these books should not bo be investigated it is admitted bitted deven even by the various school trustees of the tho county that uny any taxpayer has a right to know what the school boards are doing with the funds received by them in the way of taxes und the salo sale of bonds so the N news aws cannot see that there is any occasion for calling tho the commissioners names when they ask that the people be given a chance to see where their money goes the editor of tho the news has ner believed that any of the school moneys were being misappropriated appropriated mis although he lie has for some time suspected that poor judgment had been exercised in certain expenditures but if the writer were of a suspicious nature ho be might begin to suspect now after the ad vo cates explosion that things were nek net as they should be and many other people are the samo same frame of m mind nd the best way to allay ungrounded suspicion is to bare all the facts to the light of public scrutiny and the news does hot believe the county commissioners should be abused because they want to do this again the news asks why all this heat brother watrous Is it enouch to bo be within me ln ii the action of the members of the carbon county high school board in ru refusing fusing to give up their books and records for examination by a professional dional accountant under bonds to be fair and accurate suggests to the writer the ill aught that the members of the board in question are acting child childish to say the least some people might with justice use at stronger ronger language but the news is trying to be temperate and fair about this matter if there was ever the least ground for the assumption ae that all was not what it should be with these accounts that ground has been considerably magnified by the childish refusal of the members of the high school board to allow a reputable accountant to examine their books no matter r how honest or competent an accountant of their own selection tiou now audits these accounts there is always the possibility of a suspicion that tho the auditor was selected eted to find things as he finds them the carge that the county commissioners were insulting in their demands or requests is too puerile to merit contradiction 0 will somebody tell us why the utah fuel company officials williams cowie and braffet permit gambling in tho the coal camps of their company ip irl the past officials of this company have fully demonstrated their for good or evil by the most extraordinary display of arbitrary authority in handling matters in these camps and as a proof that they are not devoid of moral quality we need only recall their p painful 2 ul conc concern e rn over the uncontrolled vices they predicted would find gement lod in the sag brush saloon believing then that these captains of industry aro are amply provided with the authority and und moral inclination to control gambling in the towns belonging to the utah fuel company we ask some wise wise one to tell us why they do not stop it what did you say why stop it when they can control it why STOP it when they can CONTROL it will some one please hit us on the head bead with a hammer while 0 th N news e ws has found little to commend in the actions of the present city council it wants to go on record as endorsing the councils position pos iiron in the matter of encouraging enbom aging the building of sidewalks price needs and can afford more and better walks give the council a credit mark aspea speaking king of tho effort efforts being made to remove sheriff kelter and attorney from office the reservation news published at myton aptly sas here is a good illustration of the need of the recall law whereby the people who elect officials may recall them from office whenever they prove unfaithful to their duties if utah had bad the recall the people of carbon county would find it an easy matter to get got rid of an unfaithful county official of fici while the word politics in its broader sense ie is not a term of reproach the brand used ip in carbon county in the past is so redolent of rottenness that when Council councilman wan kirkpatrick accused the women who petitioned the council to enforce the be laws and ordinances against gambling aal prostitution 0 playing politics ho lio deliberately insulted every signer of that petition t ahn ho wives sisters and mothers of the citizens of price the news ventures the prediction that this insult will yet be the undoing of those who are trying to make a farce of law and order in this city and county that petition was signed by the wives of several city officials and they should resent friday kirk patricks insults are they manly enough to rise above party lines and do their duty by their wives and the community time will tell if sheriff kelter and county attorney Mo can be removed from office why not mayor guilder son and city attorney by all means bring the county commissioners into court and make them tell why they hire lawyers the public has bas a right to know and the commissioners wont mind wind telling |
