THE WESTERN WEEKLY 15 B that even though there were no in dictments returned against the vicious and villifying editors of the Kcarns there is nothing to prevent their ar rest on the charge of looting the bank. They may not have really robbed the bank but they must have had some hand in it in order that suspicion might be cast on our reli gious leaders that their political influ ence might be lessened. est in the crime itself, vc would ad vise that while the "American" par ty is in power in Salt Lake and the Kcarns is allowed to continue un muzzled all decent and respectable people keep away from Utah and all bankers surround their institution with a heavy guard to keep out po licemen and burglars. Salt Lake Automobile Club By W. E. MACARTEN Salt Lake Automobile Club will work for good roads and have called a mass meeting to be held at Lagoon for July 8th, which will include three counties, Salt Lake, Davis and Weber. Presently these three counties will have roads that are fit to drive over with auto mobiles without shaking one of the occupants out of the car. Salt Lake Automobile Club is going to get actively into the business of building good roads and restoring old ones that have suffered through wear and tear. At this meeting on July 8th there will be a great gathering of automobile owners, drivers and people generally who are interested in the good roads movement. The mass meeting will be held under the auspices of the Salt Lake Automobile Club and was decided upon at a meeting of the board of directors last Monday evening at the club rooms in the Bell Telephone building. The convention of automobilists will be called to order at 3 p. m., but before that time, at 1 :30 p. m., there will be a great street parade of automobiles in Salt Lake. Similarly there will be one in Ogden. All along the line from Davis county there will be men and women who will boost for good roads. There will be people from Ogden, Farmington, Layton, Kaysville, Centerville, Bountiful and most everywhere else worth mentioning. We have every reason to feel encouraged that our efforts will meet with success. The club has now a membership of nearly 100 and shortly after the 4th the hundred mark will be passed. We want the people to take a personal interest in this work. If they attend, if they want to see good roads in this state, we will have easier work in bringing the county officials around to our support. Now the Salt Lake Automobile Club wishes to state that they are in earnest and there, will be no question but what they will meet us half way, and after we have made progress in this part of the country we will take up the matter of improving the roads in the southern portion of the country. What the club expects from Salt Lake to attend we believe that Taft is a good man. We decline to say what we think of the "Americans" lest the vials of wrath be uncorked and our neutrali ty disturbed. Remaining neutral on all subjects and never becoming involved in quarrels of any kind we wish to as sure the alleged accused and the al leged accusers in the bank robbery case of our unchanging policy. ccy: The mystery surrounding the ' looting of the vault of the Utah Na- ' H tionnl bank will never be solved until M the temple of the nefarious cult that ' PH inhabits this valley is searched from Hl the gilded crown of Moroni to the Sl cavernous depths from which the vil- , , jt lanous, slandering and abusive cdi- , PatJ torial tirades appearing in the Daily ' 9H Smoot and the Evening Smith cm- ' H 1 H i . H this meeting at Lagoon July 8th, will be the mayor, the city coun- H cil, the members of the board of public works and the county com- ' jH missioners; and the same classification from Ogden, so that good H roads can be built in this section and maintained. The days of the I jjH chuckholes and dangerous grades arc past. We want and must in- ' H lerest the individual, the automobile owner, the farmer who uses the j eH toads, the teamsters, the people who drive for pleasure, in this mat- 11 ter. Good roads are a national issue. The movement is growing ' H throughout the United States as well as Canada and Mexico.

TOUR ARE LARGE I WW The entries this year for the American Automobile Association's HI tour are larger than usual, which is probably equally due to the in- H creased popularity of motoring and the beauty of the route to be H covered. The course winds its way through the great mountain ! H langes of the east. The Alleghanies, the Blue Ridge, Pocono, Adiron- H dack, Catskill, Berkshire, White and Green mountain ranges are all , IH included and those who know the roads say that the course has been . H selected wisely, both from a standpoint of beauty and also of diffi- jH culties, so as to give the cars a very thorough test. There seems to WM be every indication that from 150 to 200 cars will take part, carrying H from 800 to 1000 people.
