1 ' I I I truth: ry. TRUTHS. I, "Benighted and besotted," is the T way the Tribune speaks of the Third , Municipal ward. Wonder bow the p people living there like it. Ex-Senator Cannon says he has stopped fighting the Mormon church. v. Doubtless the church feels relieved f lie will soon be ready for re-baptism , f Mayor Bransford in undertaking to bring order out of the chaos into ' which the "Ainerikcarns" party has plunged the city will find no easy un dertaking. The -democratic city committee is scheduled to meet on Monday even ing to elect a chairman to succeed M. L. Cunningham, resigned, and to make prclimiary arrangements for the fall campaign. George R. Lund, son of the late R. C. Lund, is up from St. George to purchase an oil rig. He is extensively interested in the new oil fields of the south and is very enthusiastic as to the future of the industry. l;or a quiet, unobtrusive sort of ' person, Vice President Fairbanks i3 displacing a good deal of atmosphere at times close together and places far apart. And the country might lo i, much worse; it has many times. Attorney Dclphin M. Dclmas is filling up his time prior to the re trial of Harry Thaw in defending a few minor malefactors in his own state. These will sort of keep his hand in, as it were. John L. Sullivan contributed ten ' dollars to the benefit of the striking telegraphers of Salt Lake. Having risen to eminence in the world by such means striking he can appre ciate the situation. In carrying out his good promises, the new chief of police can confident ly count on the support of the better class of our citizens, and he can af ' " ford to have opposition from the other class the more the better. The "American" organ here keep reminding its readers that they should "turn to the right." Just so; now let the organ follow its own precepts for once and see how it will feel to have slanted off in the direction of thi right. That was an exceedingly fine and comprehensive article by A. F. Phil ? lips on the coal situation which ap peared in the Tribune of last Sun day. The facts were plainly and comprehensively stated and altogeth er the article throws much light on , j the situation. Of course the reader - who "savies" will cut out the politi- -"' cal buncombe which is interspcrced here and there. Such fool methods I are characteristic of the Tribune In recent years. Wiliy can't Salt Lake have a ball team that can play ball? A great many have originated here, or at least carried the name of the place, that could raise something else and not half try; but that is not the thing needful. ft ft w War with Japan isn't being talked of quite so much of late; yet who there he so obstinate as to find fault with their great and glorious Gov ernment for going right ahead with the assembling of an invincible naval establishment in the Pacific? Our local democratic friends are in want of a chairman and will try to cause one to materialize on Mon day evening next. If they will ac cept of suggestions they may profit thereby. They need a bibical Moses and a theatrical angel more than a chairman. WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH. THE FIRST? What's the matter with the First municipal ward? Accord ing to the Tribune it elected three very bad men as its rep representatives in the city coun cil. Their lives, according to the Tribune and the Tribune is their own organ and ought to know, are stained with secret crimes known to the police, ana they are in mortal fear of the police. The Tribune's charges against those men which it helped to elect are made to some extent by innuendo, but the references are so plain there is no mistaking who it means. The Tribune, if it were not a coyote sheet, would come out in the open and state plainly what the charges against those councilman are. It knew just as much about those men when it advocated their election as it does now, and it might ex plain why it painted them as pure and spotless as the lily then and now as black as Satan. The First ward, it would ap pear, can neither be congratu lated on its allegiance to the "American" party nor on the quality of the men it chose to represent it in the council. Senator Hopkins of Illinois, in hi? race for re-election, has struck an element of strength he probably was not counting on; that is, he has en countered the opposition of one F. T. Dubois. Everybody opposed by the latter has invariably pulled through. There is one slright and direct ad mission which the Tribune's assault on Captain Burbidge has brought out; that is that the McWhirters were robbed and that Sheets and Raleigh knew of the robbery. Up to very recently the Tribune denied that there had been a robbery The Tribune has a special from Boise showing that James II. Brady, chairman of the Republican State committee of" Idaho, is willing to be a United States Senator. In which respect he occupies a position iden tical with that of about 35.000 of his fellow citizens. The "Ainerikcarns" party is making a herculean effort to pull itself to gether. A month ago it was thor oughly demoralized, but the better element of the party is trying to re cruit the scattered forces and relegate to the rear those who they hold re sponsible for the disasters which came upon it. It is very questionable whether those democrats who desire the demo cratic concvention to name Mayor Bransford as their candidate will suc ceed. A strong wing of the party wants ex-Mayor Morris to become a candidate, while others are talking of W. M. Kerry, notwithstanding that he is an "American" party man. W. J. Bryan, while on the way to Rockford, 111., to fill a lecture en gagement on Wednesday last, en countered a railroad wreck for the fourth time and had to walk some distance. How thankful he ought to be that b: was able to walkl Under such circumstances it is better than the ability to run. Evidently the moral earthquake fol lowing the physical one at San Fran cisco is likewise no make-believe or half-way affair. It started in at the right place and in the right way at the top. The mayor that was, ii tagged for San Quentin and a lot of his lieutenants are likely to continue in his company. Salt Lake has also had a tremblor of less consequence, but some good results have followed. Roderick McKcnzic is a good Scotch name, a name that inspires confi dence and in the case of the new Jiicf of police we arc satisfied the confi dence is not misplaced. While Mr. McKcnzic is neither a Hawkshaw nor a Sherlock Holmes it is fully believed he will administer the affairs of his office with the utmost integrity and with ability. He won't make any mistake either by taking Captain Bttr bidge into his full confidence. Harry Keate was up from his Mil ford home yesterday, having previous ly returned from the Dixie oil fields, where he has some large and good holdings. He is devoting the greater part of his time to this industry, and naturally sees something ahead or he couldn't afford to do it. Harry is and has been for some years a promi nene business man of Milford, and is very sure that those who are in on the oleoginous fields have something in the business line that will last them a long time and yield returns right along. Capitalists and capital are drifting in every day and still the country is not all occupied.
