BOX 1253. 1 Telephone, Wasatch 2007. 513 Felt Building-, Salt Lake City, Utah. The Goodwin's Weekly Publishing Company. LeROY ARMSTRONO .... Editor f DRAW TWO! Mr. G. H. Ileilley, distributor of Lomp's St. . Louis beer in Salt Lake, discontinues bis ad- vertisemont because I urged tbo use of Utab beer upon sucb persons as affect tbo malt beverage. Which ho has a perfectly good right i to do. And it makes my way tho easier. Be- 1 cause Utah people buy what they see advertised in the Weekly. Logically, then, what they don't see there advertised, they don't buy. And this may bo just as good a time as any i to say that this paper is for Utah and all its works and no intimidation of patronage with- drawn is going to frighten. They are making tho "I am for Utah" but- l tons in Utah now, solely because tho Weekly urged that it bo done and that it didn't look J well to buy such buttons in Now Jersey. And a, while I don't care a whoop what kind of beer a - F man drinks, or whether ho never tastes it yet i. since some people have the habit since beer is made in Utah and since good judges say no drinker can tell tho difference in tho dark, the j Weekly feels free to say that Utah beer ought w to have a fair chance. f That's all. P Now kill another advertisement. P "No, Chothlldo, William Jennings Bryan has not yot "signed up" with tho "movlos." Mr. Bryan positively L reruses to accopt any theatrical ongagomonts In which ho 1$, will play a silent part IJF THE PERIL OF THE PETITION. Ii In tho matter of candidacy, I am for Bill (TV Newton. I limit tho endorsement strictly to the i period this sido of eloction, because I fancy that, jy in oflloe William would bo troublesome. But his t open avowal of candidacy brings tho peril of the 4 petition vividly before the general eye. It was l Grovor Cleveland who told us, many a busy v yoar ago, that an active man could get signatures 4 to any sort of petition, and it is true. There dIHbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbH are mighty few men in this city who couldn't get on the ballot by petition. And once there, one must rely on good fortune rather than a good sense to keep the bad ones from the accident of election. Take our present condition, in the matter of a city election. Suppose a perfectly odious character should get tho number of signatures rerquired by law and should force his name upon the ballot. In the random stato of unorganlza tion, ho would stand a very excellent chance of being elected. He probably could poll votes enough o bo second high man with all the serious consequences involved. And what could you do about it? Why, you could just sit down like a lot of unhappy victims of your own fool ish attempt at interfering with tho laws of nature) with the tendencies of humanity, and tako your medicine. The whole purpose in adopting the present primary system was to secure the best of men for candidates. And nothing is easier than for tho worst man to become a candidate. The present system is ineffective. It is absurd. Do you suppose any man now before tho public as candidate for city commissioner with possibly one exception could got nomination in one of tho old-stylo partisan political conventions? Not ever I That old-style convention may have had do foots; but after all it provided a way for putting good men in nomination. A man had to havo some qualifications, some sterling qualities, to got tho nomination. And under our present sys tom tho worst man can got all tho signatures ho noeds on his petition. After that. Heaven help tho money drawer. RIGHT TO THE STREET. Ono of tho solid men of Salt Lake asks tho Wookly where tho city gets its right to charge a farmor money for use of Firs,t West street as a public market. And tho Weekly doesn't know. Does anybody? Tho farmor daro not sell his produce at the homo of a citizen. Ho would bo arrested and flnod. Ho drivos past a thousand houses in every ono of which ho could got more for his produce than ho will when ho arrivos at First Wost and South Temple. And tho man of tho houso wou' J even then bo buying 'it loss than ho prosontly will pay at tho storo. But the farmer would bo an offender against the law, and I suppose the man of tho houso would bo equally guilty. Tho city requires tho farmor to haul his load unbroken to that ono block of public street, H and there sell his produce if any one comes to JM buy. The city doesn't provide a market houe for him, with conveniences of commerce and shelter against inclement weather. The oity H doesn't provide him a place of display. Thero M is the open publio street, owned by the publio, fl paved by the public, maintained by the publio. m And yot the public is deprived of tho use of it, m and tho seller has to pay rental for inadequate accommodation on premises that ho already & owns. And tho buyer has to pay money to jH maintain a system which makes more costly M overy purchase ho secures. t. M Sulzer threatens to start a newspaper lr ho Is con- vlcted. Is this an effort to Intimidate the "Jury"? H THE GIRL WHO KISSED ALL OF THEM. M If was of a Sunday afternoon. Place, the H big waiting room of tho Short Lino station. HH First, half a dozen young persons came in some boys, but mostly girls. Then another group H with liko fair preponderance; and again another ' H cluster, with tho boys in tho minority. Evident- H ly onp young man and one young woman wore H going away. It lookod liko a nowly-wed affair. They stood around thero in tho central open H space of tho big depot, very happy, very vivacl- fl ous, very true to tho nature Qf tho human youth M and past all description attractive and boauti- M H Prosontly tho Man in Gray callod their train, H and thoro was a stir beyond common in tho H clan. Ono of tho girls who wore not going away fl pounced on the girl who was going away, and M kissed her. Then another girl won a sisterly M kiss. Tho men gathered the suit cases, but there H was something impelling in these kisses, and H tho first thing that kissoo know sho was going H right along tho lino of waiting, loving, mourn- H ing girls, kissing each. And then sho ran across H a boy. But tho spur of youth, tho oxoitatlon of H impulse, tho wine of friendly association-rail H drovo her forward, and sho kissed him, and M passed on to the next succeeding girls. For it H had bocomo a ring by that tiino, and tho 3pirit H of frolic had possessed all of them. A littlo farther down tho lino sho came to H another boy, and kissod himthis time without I an instant's hesitation, and caught tho next girl I fairly. And if that boy didn't step out of tho M lino, pass behind her and tako his place among tho unkissod, I am a Turk I Sho kissod him I again being too far gono in tho grooting to draw back when sho realized how ho was repealing.
