CRIES OF NEW YORK.

American Metropolis.
remember hearing the. "Cries Of
New York." in 1920 and the succeed
ing years. The watchmen at every
corner of tho several .'blocks'' struck
the pavement with their clubs, and
sang aloud the hour. thus: "Eleven
o'clock, and all's wellr' or 'Four
o'clock. and a cloudy (or fair) MORN
Ing" etc. Not only baked pears were
''cried'' and sold in the Streets but
boiling-hot green corn. The venders
were usually negroes (slaves at that
time). and they used portable fur
nances lighted with charcoal on
which they prepared their stock In
trade Sometimes they contrived TO
carry (with the furnace) one kettle on
one arm containing the pears. and one
ON the other containing the corn.
People who sat ON the 's,oops'' In the
summer evenings were their CUSTOM

We HAVE MUCH TO LEARN.

We have much to learn in Salt Lake
City. Not content with hating be-
tween two opinions, the business men of
oar city stumble amonga as many, nearly,
as they number themselves.
There is a man in Denver, rich, res
pected and arrived at that time OF life
when most men past the hour for work
sit them in the deepening twilight to
await the coming of the night. But it
lis not so with him. The night will
still find him doing. With the deveI-
opment of that bright and particular
city his name is ineffacably identified
with its growth, aud he is very rich.
He not only has had the intellectual
foresight to see what was required and
what might be accomplished, but he has
had the industry to embark in the en-
terpriss, to stay with it and the cour-
age to risk his means IN it. His un-
welding perseverance has made him
successful and his own faith has been
strong enough to convert others and
make them to work with him. To-day
any proposition that has bic endorse

We don know just what the difference
is, but the money contributed to the
City Hall as water r4les amounts TO 4
good deal more than the interest on the
capital INFESTED IN the waterworks. So
that the city treasury, watch assumes

! ment is not only not out dollar, but
has been and is making money from
the Investment OF the peoples cash in
the watsrw0rkr.
1t will be the same when the water
supply shall be increased The people
will pay for the water and the con-
venience of having it to use at pleasure.
more than the city treasury will have
to pay for the use of the money which
the increased supply will cost.
THE HERALD Is not committed to the
Utah Lake scheme. The prop 5sition
may not be feasible. The water may
not be such as the city requires. There
may be other and better schemes. In
our present light ii looks as if tbs city
viii eventually have to go TO the lake
named for its water. and If this is cor
rect, the sooner the start is made the
better. If there are better plans, let US
have them. We are only committed to
this proposition, that Salt Lake City
must have more water. Two million
dollars should not stand in the way Of
obtaining the supply required. The
moment that an abundance of water
eaters the city, the actual value of
property within the city limits will be
increased more than TWO million
dollars.

money should BE raised by putting a
tax on luxdries which people can
get along without, rather than
on necessities which 5hey nust
have IN order to live. The
people are not fools. although the Re
publicans would seem to regard them
as such when they try to lead them
away from a party which has done SO
much and which is trying to DO more
for the masses. The Indications are
that the votsrs viii be wise when they
come to the polls. They have. grown
tired OF being taxed and oppressed in
order that monopoly may thrive, and
men grow rich through protection and
trusts. What the people want is fair
chance to live, and they see that the
Democrats are struggling hard to give
them that chance.
