AN ABSURD REPORT.

THE STORY PUBLISHED in the
Neue Weigner Tageblatt of Vienna
to the effect that negotiations are on
for the sale of the Philippines to Ger
many would be important if true. I'm
fortunately it is not true. Foreign
newspapers are 9verbial for their
rsshncss in the 7 LEGATION of improb-
able tales calcuk d to have interna-
tional effect. 1t il likely that many of
these lurid reports are inspired by the
authorities For the purpose Of ascer-
tanning the trend of popular sentiment.
When the stories are discredited the
newspapers, not the authorities, are
blamed.
This Philippine yarn is so transpar-
ent that it is hardly worthy a mo-
ments consideration. In the first place.
it would be necessary to secure the
consent Of the other powers before
such a transaction could be perfected.
A nation cannot sell an archipelago as
citizen sells farm. England. France
and Russia would almost unquestion-
ably object to the acquisition of the
Philippines by Germany. They would
not lie actuated in their protest by a
desire to prevent Germany from pur-
chasing a gold brick. Their real rea-
son would BE that II Germany secured
the islands she would make It impos-
sible for the other powers TO 10 bust
ness there, while under existing cOndi-
i fio1s they all have a chance.
A large majority of the people CT the
United states, including many Of the
most pronounced imperialists. would
welcome the change Of ownership. car
ing little who got the islands. SO long
as we Wee rid of them. However. we
won't be permitted to play any diplo-
matte confidence game, but must work
out our own salvation on this Philip
pine problem.

SALT LAKES POLICE FORCE.

+ SURFACE INDICATIONS may be
relied upon CHIEF Hilton is firmly
cemented to his position. or vice versa,
according to the way the reader desires
to view It, a majority Of the council
has said he must not be removed and
unless Mayor Thompson can bring
some influence TO bear, or can be per-
sVaded TO recede from his determine
ton not TO say who ne intends to ap-
point as HitoD's successor, the chiefs
tenure of office may be considered as
ut least co-equai with Mayor Thomp-
sons term.
Now il IS time for Hilton to weed
from the police department the disor-
ganizing elements. If Detective Sheets
and Sergeants Janney and Brown are
responsible for the existing chaos, by
all means let Chief Hilton discharge
them He should also discharge all the
other policemen who have found so
much time lately to run around to their
friends in the council and work up DO
htical schemes for their personal bene-
fit.
The political policeman must go, no
matter what party he happens to be af-
filiated with. The public has had a
nauseating suhiciency of that kind of
work. The efficiency OF the department
was never at so low an ebb Each in
dividual member Of the force. with q
few honorable exceptions. considers
himself responsible to nobody except
himself, and the result is that the tax
payers are not receiving anything like
an equivalent for the money expended
in Maintaining the service.
It would he the best thing that could
possibly happen for Chief Hilton to be
relieved. unless some spineless, incom-
petent political hack is to succeed
him. That much is universally rec
egnized. If + isn't to be dismissed. an
end should be put TO the whole dis
graceful controversy and that at the
earliest possible moment Mayor
Thompson is not without blame in the
matter. If he continues to maintain
his present attitude ne must cause
much doubt as to whether he really
wants 10 improve the service or wheth-
er he desires 10 reward some valiant
henchman.
he could settle the dispute in five
minutes by sacrificing a small amount
Of executive dignity. Let him submit
to the majority in the council a list of
three or four competent men. Surely
it should be possible to find that many
in salt Lake who are qualified to be
chief of police. Then let the majority
select one Of those names and pledge
its support 10 the confirmation of the
appointee. With this complication out
&c the way it would be possible to raise
the salary to decent figure and by
securing the right man put the depart
ment on the high plane it should oc-
cupy.
Here is a simple course for the mayor
to pursue. It is a course which cannot
fail TO attain the end he processes to
desire-the Improvement of the public
service That is what the people who
elected him want; it is what all good
citizens want and the mayor will be
i'll advised if he fails to follow it.
