SOME SIGNIFICANT FACTS.

Some facts which have been gathered by a committee of the American Street Railway association conclusively show that the usefulness of electric roads is not limited to the transportation of passengers. Four hundred and thirteen replies to requests for information were received from various parts of the coun- try, and from these it was learned that fifty-eight companies have contracts for carrying mail, sixty-two others have some form of mail service, forty-three are engaged in express business, fifty five are carrying freight and thirty-one handle small packages on passenger cars for pay, while twenty-nine are con- templating the equipment of their lines for traffic never thought of by street railroad managers when horse power was employed. In some of the large cities-Brooklyn and St. Louis-special mail cars are used without detriment to the passenger service, and the results are said to be very satisfactory In most cities packages and light freight can be quickly and economically handled, and where there are many diverging lines large population can be served. Under ordinary conditions the electric road, with its frequent trips and fast time, has exceptional advantages as a con- mon carrier, and when supplemented by delivery and collecting wagons at es- tablished points, as in St. Louis, the company H reasonably certain of se- curing the bulk of this class of business Many of the largest stores in St. Louis serve customers entirely by the electric cars, and instead of one delivery day when teams were used, three are made through the medium of the street rail. road express.

Restored to Honor After Long Disgrace.
 From the Pail Mall Gazette]
 Prince Kung-whose proper title is ung-tsin-wang, or the Reverend Kin dred Prince-whom the Emperor of China has brought back to honor from retirement and disgrace by appointing him president of the foreign office and of the admiralty and co-director with Li Hung Chang of the war arrange ments, is man who in the past has played very important part in the history of China, and Is now some six ty-three years of age, having been born about 1881. He is a man of great vigor and determination of character, and is possessed of ability of a very high or- der. Prince Kung Is the sixth son of the Emperor Tankwang, who died in 1850. His personal name, which is used only by his family, Is Yih-hu, while the people call him Wu-ako, or the Fifth Elder Brother. Prince Kung came to the front first in 1860, when the Empe- TOT Hienfung-the son of Tankwang- fled from Peking on the advance of the allied armies of Great Britain and France At this critical moment the former returned to the capital, as- stunned the reins of government and en- tered into negotiations with the allies. Having accepted their ultimatum, he surrendered the northeast gate, which commanded the city, on October 13, and eleven days later the treaty of Peking was signed by him and Lord Elkin. A very curious print of : Chinese painting by an artist of note, showing the ceremony attending the signature of this treaty, occupies the frontispiece of Dr. Williams "Middle Kingdom"

0HARD TIMES.V

It appears that County Commissioner Durham was not the originator of the "hard times" explanation of the re- duction of the liquor license fee, and that he voted and protested against the reduction. This lets him out oe complicity in a transaction which is as unpopular as it was unwise and which has done much to add to the feeling that the County commissioners should be abolished.

FACTS AND FIGURES ABOUT WOOL

In May, 1924, after thirty-five years of
free wool, the price of wool was 70 cents
per pound. In that month a tariff of
Is to 20 per cent. was placed on wool.
Under the influence of this tariff the
price of wool, instead of rising, fell. In
May, 1924. at the time of the passage
of this bill, it was worth 70 cents per
pound In July So cents per pound. In
October so cents per pound. In Jauu-
airy, 1926, IS cents per pound. and in
January, 1927, it was only worth SO
cents per pound. This shows a decrease
in price of wool under a protective
tariff of Is cents per pound in the first
eighteen months, and "a cents per
pound decrease within two and one
half years.
In January, 1888, after eight years of
tariff amounting to cents per pound,
fine wool was worth 55 cents per
pound In January. 1884, after one year
of free wool it was worth 20 cents per
pound. In January, 1888. coarse wool
was worth 80 cents per pound. Under
a free wool tariff it raised to So cents
per pound by April of the same year.
BY July of the same year to 40 cents
per pound; by October to As cents; by
January, 1884, to 4S cents. This shows
an increase in the price of wool
amounting to Is cents per pound, with
in one year after putting wool on the
free list
In 1912. after ten years of free wool, a
high protective tariff was passed. With
this came a period Of inflated money
and war prices, which makes it impos-
sible to trace any connection between
prices of tariff legislation. In March
1867, the highest wool tariff known at
that time went into effect. The prices
of wool went down from 6S cents in
January. 1867, to so cents in April to
So cents in July; to 4S cents in October,
and to 50 cents in April. 1858; to as
cents in July, and back to As cents in
October, 1868, showing decline of 20
per cent in the price of wool within a
yenr after the passage of the highest
tariff up to that time. These facts are
cleaned from the pamphlet written by
DR.. e. p Miller, entitled, Facts About
Woods and Woolens.''
In 1890 the Mckinley bill increased
the tariff on wool. Within one week
wool dropped 10 cents per pound in the
Eastern market and continued to drop
until the passage of the Wilson bill. In
August, 1894, the Wilson bill reduced
the tariff on woods from So to 40 per
cent, and the price of wool since its
passage, has gone up 20 per cent.
These figures, which come from Re-
publican authority, show that the tariff
on wool does not increase the price of
wool, but in every case cited, an in
crease in tariff has been followed by a
decline in price of wool, and every re-
duction in the tariff has been followed
by an increase in the price of wool.

APPEAL TO MORMONs.

A morning contemporary makes PIT
eous appeal to the Mormon people to
consider ''just how registration has
been carried ON in this city and coun-
ty." They must have considered 1t as
all those who are of age and eligible
have been registered. Not one has been
denied the right to register, not one has
been stricken from the lists. What is
the purpose of the appeal then? To
create suspicion.
This contemporary: says that upon
lists being compared, 1T is found. that
in one precinct of this city over two
hundred names had been added, which
the Republicans cannot find in the pre-
cinct by the most diligent search" But
it is not stated what lists were COM
pared. 1t was probably some private
list compared with the official list. If
50, it must not be forgotten that the
official Est is sworn and certified list,
and that a private list is not. The
men who made the official list are
known, and they did their work under
cath, and they cam be found at any
time, and if they have been doing
crooked work they can be punished.
The men who made the private lists
are not known, at least not to the pub
lic and they did their work solely for
party purposes. If any man engaged
in the official registration has been
guilty of stufTing the registration lists,
let him be named and let him be pros
ecuted. That is the thing to do instead
of making poor pussy appeals to one
class of the community.
Why does not our contemporary ap-
peal to the nom Mormon portion of the
community? They have as much inter
est in a clean aud honest registration
and a free and fair election as the
Mormons have. They are American cit
liens and are as anxious as our con-
temporary that the purity of the ballot
be maintained. And yet no appeal is
made to them. although they are in the
majority in this city, according to past
election returns.
The interest that our contemporary
has developed of late in the spiritual
and material welfare of the Mormon
people is the greatest miracle that ever
happened in Utah.
