THE LATEST INCIDENT
SENATOR CARMACK AND HIS IN
TERvIEW ON TRUSTS.
May Be Trouble Over Divided Au-
thority as to the Conduct of the
Congressional Campaign.

Republican politicians interested in the
congressional campaign are inclined to
speak jeeringly OF their friends. the enemy.
in one respect. They call attention to the
multiplicity of issues and superabun-
dance OF managers in the democratic ranks
and think that some. benefit VIII accrue to
the republicans thereby.
The latest incident commented upon was
the return Of Senator Carmack to the city
and his interview. Senator Carmack had
been away since Congress adjourned. and
the democratic managers had been plug
ging away on the trust issue. The Presi-
dent lad made night march on them in
his Pittsburg speech on trusts, and they
were trying to catch up ana get on the fir
ing line again.
In the meantime the Philippine issue"
had been lost to sight. Senator Carmack
got to town. This will never do" he
sue? Trot it out" So he gave out an in
terview designed to arouse interest i'm that
subject and declared that it would still be
to the fore as a campaign issue.
Then Senator Dubois stirred up the trusts
again and Chairman Griggs Of the demo-
cratic campaign committee took few
shots at the question, being followed by
Representative Newlands and other demo-
Gratis. Meanwhile ex-senator German
was stacking up ammunition against the
beef trust and Senator Patterson and Scna-
tor Rawlins are understood to be brushing

HOW TO AvENGE AN INSULT.
The squire's Advice May Have Been
Good, But Tt Was Not Followed.

There have been humOrs as we'll as
tragedies in connection with the code

the things of the past in most coun-
tries. Though these so-caIled affairs
OF honor" were always d~isgracefuI and
sometimes fatal, they had the merit,
like all other human things full Of hui
nan error, of being fruitful in good
jokes. Michael DaVitt. in his book on

cases in which humOr. from within or
without. came to the rescue of would
be duelists-
A witty Dublin barrister was con-
suited by a physician as to calling
out a man who a insulted him.
Take my advice" said the lawyer,
and instead of calling him out get him
to call you in and have your revenge
in that way. 1t viii be more secure
and certain"

squire for advice as to sending a chal-

asked the squire.
He has"
well" said the squire. I'll tell YOU
what to do. Soap your nose well and

fetal maps showing where our irrsga-
ton development has taken place. and
no state officer is now qualified TO say
where intending investors may find the
best land and the surest water supply.
While our state engineer has done
much considering the small support he
has a from the state legislature. vet
he has not been able TO keep
records Of our important streams, nor
has he been able to make gaginSs
Of the canals diverting water there
from. The value of u irrigated lands
depends almost entirely upon the water
supply which is made available for their
irrigation. How carefully we look up u
abstracts of title and how safely we
keep our patents and deeds. Our lands
may lie partly above and partly below
an irrigation canal. Those above we
might be able to sell for 81 or So per
acre. while those enjoying irrigation are
worth 500 or more per acre. The DIFF
ference can all be attributed to water.
We are perfectly Indifferent, it seems,
regarding the title to this kind of prop
erty except when some one interferes
with the supply We supposed to be ours.
We believe that the people of Utah
understand the situation. Mr.. Maxwell
has no more interest in irrigation in
our state than We have in his theories.
Litigation is now absorbing too much
of the profits Of the farmer. III longer
existing conditions prevail the more I'M
pearable will his position become and
the stronger will be the opposition of
those who profit through his misfoS-

Some Called Tower a Dude.
Duluth Tribune.O

The announcement of CharIemagne
Towers new diplomatic position at Ber-
lin has recalled to many Duluth persons
MS five years residence in this city IN
the capacity of president of the Duluth
q Iron road. He was much
admired and respected, but was consid-
cred rather distant. despite the fact that
he was really quite aDproachable. 4
Duluth man who knows Mr.. Tower quite
intimately says:
-Charlemagne Tower was at once the
most extensively and at the same time
the worst dressed man in Duluth. This
IS accounted for from the fact that he had
MS clothes made in London In the early
sos, when Mr.. Tower was here. there
were not as many fashiOnably dressed
men here as now, and ] must confess that
a large number considered him a dude.
But he was nothing of the sort. He was
an aristocrat, and that was all there was
to it. and he was a gentleman every inch
of the way. Mr. Tower doubtless felt the
responsibilities of the great wealth of the
rover family, and as president of the
Iron Range road and a memb Of the
executive committee of the Minnesota
Iron company.
The only time that Mr.. Tower ever
showed the white feather was when the
mosquitoes got after him. 1 recall that
when he made his first trip TO the present
site of Tower he was accompanied by
William Bassett, now a member of the
soldiers home at Old Point Comfort and
John Mailman. explorers. The triD up
over the trail had been difficult and tire
some, but Mr.. Tower stood it like a
veteran and found no fault with any
thing. Bassett and Mailman had voted
him a trump. But he fell a few notches
in their Estimation the first night in
camp. Just as Bassett and Mailman
had fallen asleep Mr.. Tower called out:
Mr.. Bassett, Mr.: Bassett, there's a
mosquito in the tent
1t that so. growIed Mr.. Bassett.
We'll, get an ak and kill it.

u cITV's health

A S COMPARED with last year, the
n condition Of the public health is
most gratifying. The report just is
sued for November shows a marked
decrease from the figures of last year
In practically every communicable dis
ease. In scarlet fever, that disease
which has in the past been so hard
for the health department to control,
a great change for the better has been
brought about.
In November. 1901. there were 1O6
cases and eight deaths. This year the
total was sixteen cases and no deaths,
a decrease Of about six-sevenths. The
falling off in other diseases is not so
marked. but it is sufficient to encour-
age the health officers to believe that
they are working along proper lines.
The Herald is OF the opinion that the
improved conditions are due to several
causes.
First, the health department has been
vigilant and faithful. It has not only
seen TO it tina every man under the
control Of the department performed
his duty in a satisfactory name but
it has conducted a campaign OF edu-
cation that has produced excellent re-
suits. People are paying more atten-
ton 10 the ordinary laws of health
than they ever did. Premises are kept
cleaner and quarantine laws are re-
speeted.
DR.. Whitney, the school inspector,
has contributed in no small degree to
the good work. His examinations Of
children suspected Of contagious dis
ease and the warnings he has sent out
to parents. under the supervision of
Health officer King, have resulted in
reducing the possibility OF p%reventible
contagion to a minimum.
All things considered. the city starts
in for the cold months of winter in
the best possible shape. All that is
necessary to continue the present hap
DIV condition is a continued observance
OF reasonable regulations.

THE NEW SCHOOL BOARD.

THE SCHOOL BOARD election
4 passed off as expected, without
contest in all the precincts except the
First. where there was a very spirited.
not to say bitter, fight. Messrs, New
man, Young, Henderson and Cheesman
had no opposition, thanks to the con-
~Bervative good sense of the citizens
who made their nominations on a on
partisan, non-sectarian basis
In the First precinct, Professor Cum
mings defeated Mr.. Eyer by a consider
able majority. though not so over
w~helmingly as was expected when the
organization against him got to work
early in the day. The intense interest
sn the election brought out a very
heavy vote, sand the ~canvassing was as
close as If a general election were in
progress. The result is a triumph for
those who think 1t is legitimate to use
church official influence in school cleo
tons and must be very gratifying to
them To the large body of citizens
who deplored such influence, however,
: Yesterdays work in the First seems a
distinct step backward in school afS
fairs. and as such to be deeply regret
ted.
Professor Cummings friends say he
will not be influenced in his official life
by the circumstances surrounding his
Election. To The Herald it seems i'm
possible that he should not feel the obi
cation which the support he got i'm
plies. If he shows by his actions in the
board that he is independent, fair and
unprecedented by the conditions under
which he was elected, it will be a
pleasant disappointment to the very
large number of citizens who have
watched his candidacy with distrust
and are apprehensive Of the ultimate
effect or the school system of the city.
The nex step will be the selection of
officers and committees of the board,
and in it's effects this is the most i'm
portant work before any school admin
istration. All of the new members are
men unusually Well qualified for the
service to which they have been called.
and. if properly organized, the board
ought to give a good account of itself.
