AS TO BUTTER.

We often hear complaints about the
quality of butter in this nlaket This
lis disgrace to the farmers and dairy
men of Utah. There is no reason why
good, fresh butter should not be sup
piled in every town in the territory at
reasonable prices, most if not all Of
the year round. No housekeeper would
object to pay a standing price of
twenty-five cents pound for good,
clean. fresh butter fit to eat on bread.
That is one of the home industries
that ought TO pay if managed on bust
ness principles. AS it is, little dabs
are taken to the country stores and
exchanged for goods, and then the
several products of the one or two
cow Cummings are boxed up together
and shipped to Salt Lake, sometimes
after being kept far too long at the
place of original purchase.
AS an illustration of the way some
kinds of fresh" butter are held in
the market, the following story, told as
a fact, will serve, though it may be
looked upon as an exaggeration:
a few days ago Pittsburg citizen
cut into a pound of butter which he
had purchased al a grocery whose pro-
prietor does not advertise, and found
therein small tin box, which con-
tanned piece of paper bearing the
following, written in a neat feminine
hand: Il am a girl Is years old, good
looking and an excellent housekeeper.
Should this be found by some Chris
tan gentleman, will he please write to
the following address," etc.
The finder, being a bachelor, decided
TO unravel the affair, and succeeded,
only to destroy the romance. The girl
who had written the note had died
many years ago, leaving an aged hus-
band and grown family.
That was pretty old butter 1t is a
wonder it was not bearded. BY the
way. is it the age of the article that
causes it be found occasionally with
grey hairs in it? Utah ought to have
more dafries, conducted on strictly
business principles and not pound of
imported butter ought to find a place
in the market of Salt Lake city. We
call for butter reform!

a DIVIDEND QUERY.
Centeryille. March 81 1904

Centerville, March q, 1894.
Editor of The Herald.
Will you please answer the following
and oblige more than one:" An in
corporated company of this territory,
borrowed $1,000 upon the following CON
ditionS: By giving a certificate of
stock for the amount and to paw 10 nor
cent. per annum interest All went

ceived interest to date and $500 of prin-
cipal, with a certificate of stock for

with the rest of the stock, or only one
sixth, dating from the time the old
agreement was cancelled? This is in
dispute INCORPORATOR
A stock certificate made out in the
name of an individual or corporation
carries with it the right to any divi-
dend declared upon the stock. There
fore, if the case is as we understand
it from the statement of 'Incorpora-
tor" the holder of the certificate of
stock is legally entitled to the 6 per
cent dividend. 1t might look as though
he was only entitled equitably to one
sixth, seeing that the dividend was de-
clared but two months after he OBJ
tanned the certificate, but in law we
believe he can claim whatever divi-
dend is declared on the capital stock,
no matter if the declaration was made
but day after he acquired legal pos
session. OF course when such stock is
placed as security for a debt the owner
and not the money lender collects the
dividends; they go to the owner, every
time.

A coLORED PHILOSOPHER.

That is a real benefactor of his race
in Tuskegee, Alabama, who is attract
ing some attention from the papers.
He is negro who was born in slavery,
but has achieved independence ana is
now considerable land owner. He
said he was ''jes determined to hev'
somethin'," and he succeeded. He is
now working to promote thrift and in
dustry among the colored people in the
South and is deserving of encourage
ment. The annexed paragraph is re-
ported as part of a recent speech to his
"cullud brudders:''
A mortgage is a thing dat don't
sleep. She's lynn in wait and she's
CROWN when you don't think. You
see de waive note walking in at de
door, an you say: What you gwine
do?" an she say: I'm gwine to sweep
you out" Do good work. After you've
got anything, put it in de bottom Of
your pocket and save it. You dig cot
ton and you won't wear it. How you
expect dere'H ever be a price on it eff
its own people are feared of it?
If more colored orators would take
to encouraging their fellows to adopt
habits of economy and self-sustenance
instead of dabbling in politics and run
ming after dreams, it would be better
for the emancipated people of the
South.
The Alabama's philosophy is good
enough for white as we'll as colored
folks to follow. 1t is the bondage which
the west is in to the east through
mortgages and deeds of trust that,
more than anything else, has brought
on the depression of business which is
still felt in every department of trade
and industry. Make what you wear,
raise what you eat and keep out of
debt is good advice for every western
as well as southern community.

THE STATEHOOD QUESTION.


There is no need to worry about the
statehood bill. 1t will be reported in
due season. The Democratic Senators
who have it in charge understand
what they are about and will take the
most prudent course as to its eonsid-
Grafton. They do not want it brought
forward at an inopportune time. They
do not want to have it sidetracked for
measure of more national import
'ance. 1t will be brought sup and
passed when the Senate is ready to
act upon it,
One thing may be considered as
settled. The pretended anxiety Of Re-
publicans, either here or in Washing
ton, to have the Utah bill brought fer
ward, and the misleading reports and
dispatches which emanaJe from Re
publican sources. will have no effect
one way or another on the passage of
the bill. They may serve as subject
for political talk outside of Congress,
but they will have no influence upon
the situation
1t should be observed by people who
have noticed the sneers of certain Re
publicans over the alleged change of
action by the Democrats on the state
hood bill since this territory returned
a Republican legislature, that while
tho Toan,,I11foa,, ,,or+,- -oo,,,. -, 70 1a
eager for the admission of Utah, it
is just as much opposed as ever to
the admission of New Mexico. Also
that it will continue its opposition to
both New Mexico and Arizona unless
Oklahoma shall also be admitted into
the Union.
This shows how much disinterested
zeal the Republican party has on the
admission of new states. 1t will be
found on scanning its history that it
has always been against the admission
of any state, unless there were good
grounds for believing it would be Re
publican in politics Oklahoma gives
that assurance. Utah gives some in
dications in that direction Hence the
Republican affection for the former
and pretended change of front as to the
latter
Whatever Of hesitation or delay may
have been caused as to the Utah bill
in the Senate by the foolish course
of many Utah voters during the last
six months, the Republican party has
not the slightest room for reflection
upon the Democrats on partisan
grounds. The Oklahoma exaction is
enough to form an answer to all that
may be said from that side, even if
the entire course and history of the
party were not proofs of its persist
ent partisanship on the statehood
question generally.

SOMETHING NEEDFUL.

a common interest seems to be
aroused in this country on the neces-
slty of good roads. They are mark
Of high civilization. Poor roads are an
indication OF poverty, or a new country,
or a degree Of barbarism Utah has a
few good roads but great many
highways that are simply abominabIe.
Salt Lake city has few streets
which are fit for travel in the worst
of weather. Some of them are almost
impossible after a heavy rain or snow
storm. and positive nuisance in dry
weather because of the dust. The soil
is of such character that gravel
seems to sink and mud or dust to come
to the surface, and paving appears to
be the only effectual remedy.
But asphaltum paving is very costly
and money is scarce. The people can
not stand high rate of taxation and
property has declined in value ever
since the so-called boom, so we cannot
count just now on much more paving
of that costly character. But macad-
amizing has not been tried to any
great extent and we have a sugges-
ton to make in relation to it.
When visitors come to this city, they
are brought UP into town frequently
by omnibus or carriage, and their first

way of sticky mud or whirling dust
1t makes a bad impression. Why not
macadamize a couple of streets leading
from the railway depots to where the
paved district begins?
The material is all near by. The
work would give some idle men en-
ployment. 1t is at least as necessary
as the boulevard The streets selected
should be turnpiked and the work be
done well. The paving has been laid
little too fiat. If it had been made
trifie more rounding or sloping on
either side. there would not be so
many pools as we see now after a rain
There is a great deal of traffic to and
from the railroad stations, and for the
sake of economy and the public benefit
the streets chiefly used ought to be
kept in a passable condition.
The city should take this into con-
sideration. And the county ought to
do everything possible to mend the
LIS Ways ISeiQlilS " anu liOIlI Lie CITY .
The state road, as it is called, should
have something more done to it beyond
the city limits than the temporary
mendings which it receives. The pres
ent county court would cover itself
with glory if it would cover UP the
mud on some of the roads with maca-
dam or similar material
Utah ought to begin to show signs
of that advanced civilization which is
exhibited in good solid roads, like the
old Roman highways, and the fine
turnpike roads in Old England. 1t can
not be done in a year. but a commence
ment ought to be made without delay
and continued until the highways of
Utah become noted for their excellence
The saving in wagons, carriages, horse
flesh and good feeling would more than
make up for the outlay, which, how
ever. it cannot be denied will be CON
siderable. Give us good streets and
passable roads,

The following remarks of an old set
tier in relation to home industries will
find a response in many hearts We
none of us want to go back to the old
times, much as we may find fault with
present methods and manners. But the
old advice and the old way of finding
something for everybody to do would
be just as good in practice as at any
time in the history of Utah:

WILLING A PENSION.

Since the Democratic party went
into power, investigations have been
searchingly made as to the abuse of
the pension laws. A great cutlery was
raised at first, and the old soldiers and
their dependents were greatly alarmed

merely Republican Shrek and that
after all there was nothing in it.

party was not in any way injurious to

But it took a little time to demonstrate
this to the satisfaction of the soldiers.
