CUBA AND RECIPROCITY.

m THE PRINCIPLE that half
" loaf is better than no bread" the
proposition of Congressman Payne for
a. 20 per cent reduction of the tariff on
Cuban products should be adopted.
Nevertheless, the fight for a greater
reduction should be continued as long
as there is the faintest hope for sue
cess. Mr.. Payne may or may not have
been in a humorous frame of mind
when he said that Cuba needed "a
little help" at this time. Certainly
there is grim humor in the statement
and the chairman of the ways and
means committee is following out his
idea with the utmost literalness.
Certainly it is "a little help. very
little help. that 20 per cent reduction.
Nor is it altogether certain that Cuba
will get even that. for there is much
opposition among the Republicans to
the small concession. One prominent
member of the senate is quoted as say
ing: we have done enough for Cuba.
1t is time for her to take care of her
self" He altogether OverlOOks the fact
that in taking care of Cuba through
reciprocity the country as a whole viii
receive more than it gives.
In spite of the uproarious protests
made by the beet sugar interests, Cuba
does not and cannot raise enough sugar
cane or make enough sugar to seriously
interfere with the industry in the Unit
ed States. Fair-minded representatives
Of the beet sugar trust. and Mr.. OK
nard is not included in this descrip-
ton, have admitted that free raw
sugar from Cuba would not have the
effect of unsettling prices to a notice
able degree. And if it did, the people
would be the gamers, for the people
are paying the present tax on sugar.
Within d few weeks the island repub-
JIG viii enter upon organized existence
Is it to be handicapped at the outset
by 4 utter unwilIingness on the part
OF A.. country to foster and protect
its trade? That seems to be the Re
publican plan. And those same Repub-
leans would deny to Cuba the right
to negotiate reciprocity treaties with
other countries. They would say to
Cuba. You shall not bring your goods
here. and you shall not sell them else
where"
No such -the-manser policy
should be tolerated. The United States
and Cuba occupy the same relative Po-
siti0ns as those Of a man and a child
in a desert country. The man finds the
child perishing and ne brings it to the
very edge of civilization. Has he done
his full duty if he puts the child down
there and tells it he has done enough?
The idea is absurd.

THE NEW UNION DEPOT.

1T LAST THE CITIZENS of Salt
4 Lake may look forward with con-
fdence to the speedy erection of a
union depot. In conference with coun-
sinner. officials of both the Rio Grande
Western and the Oregon Short Line
nave given assurances Of their readi-
ness TO begin construction. The spirit
manifested by the Western is special
" commendable for an offer was made
Of a bold Of 100000, 10 be forfeited if
the construction is not begun within a
reasonable time.
The necessity for a union depot in
salt Lake is so apparent that il seems
hardly necessary TO cali attention to it.
At present the Short Line is doing
business in a ramshackle affair that
wol.id be a disgrace TO a town of 5000
people L is old, out Of date, nearly
always dirty and altogether unsightly.
Strangers who come into the city by
way Of the Saort Line are invariably
given an ulfavorable impression of
salt Lake because of that depot and its
surroundings.
While the Rio Grande Western strUc-
ture is better than the other it is not
worth Dragging about At least. it is
more slightly and the grounds are bet
Ter cared for and at most it is about
good enough for a city one tenth the
size Of Salt Lake. Prior 10 the con-
solidatiOn Of the Rio Grande Western
and the Denver g. Rio Grande Salt
lake was the largest city. many times
over, Reached by that road. It is stiH
far the largest touched by the Short
Line snH, both have neglected the
metropolis which has done so much to
help them
All that viii be forgotten. though. if the
union depot project now so well under
way is carried to a speedy completion.
The council is willing to give the roads
anything in reason they may want in
the way Of traekage facilities, and the
citizens win cheerfully consent. There
should be no hitch on this point. OF
course, Salt Lake, even for a union
depot, is not going 10 mortgage itself
10 the railroads. bat they will probably
not demand anything unreasonable.
IL IS a pity the depot is not ready
now. More visitors viii be here this
summer than ever before. and all citi-
zens want them to carry away pleasant
impressions. To do this. though, they
must shut their eyes until they get up
town. and shut them again when they
go to their trains. Perhaps by next
year the city viii have "a, union depot
OF which it may be proud. and then no
stranger need be bindfolded.

loss. In ogden, Nhel~ he was pest

Ing wiz be most keenly mourned.
though everywhere in this region deep
regret VIII be felt. In every respect
he was an ideal citizen. He possessed
the qualities that make for the highest
citizenship; be stood for honesty and
cleanliness In public affairs, and in the
official capacities in which he served
the public he always regarded the trust
as one 10 De administered with scrup-
ulous nicely. On his escutcheon he left
neither SPOT nor blemish.
Mr. ScoWcCoft was essentially a
worker. He regarded honest toll as en-
nobling- In his private affairs as in
the public business entrusted TO him
he was Glligent always Nothing was
neglected. nothing sighted. nothing
left undone by him. During twenty
years Of residence in the state he built
up great business and amassed a
large fortune that would have been
still larger but for the drains upon it
by his liberal private benefactions.
Mr.. Scoweroft was one of the men
to whom ogden has owed its progress
and prosperity. He believed in the
town and even in his last days was
planning a great building that will be
monument TO his faith in it's future,
In every aspect he filed the fun meas
ure of man. His private life was
as irreprOachable as the public side of
his career. His standard in everything
was high and he lived quite up to it.

The Frawley company started the
weeks repertoire with the ever-popuiar
play, Secret Service" one of the few
successful war dramas of the present
day. 1t is the play that made Gillette
famous, and is doing good service for
F'rawley. 1t was put on in a very
creditable manner and ran so smoothly
throughout that it is doubtful whether
many people in front were aware of
the fact that a change had been made
in the cast.
But such was the case. for owing to
the sickness of one Of the players at
the last moment Frank Matthew was
called on to play the part Of Benton
Arrelsford, the confederate secret serv-
ice man. while Reginald Travers
stepped into the character Of Henry
Dumont of the United States secret
service Both actors did so exception
ally we'll that it is hard to believe that
1 they are new to the parts.
Of course, interest Centers in the
character of Captain ThOrne. the gal
liant and fearless agent Of the northern
secret service, who mixes love and war
in a way that is bewildering, and in
Edith Varney, his southern sweetheart,
whose love for the northern spy leads
her into embarrassing situations. which
follow one another with astonishing
/ persistency almost to the final drop of
the curtain. William Gillette. however.
was too much Of gentleman to allow
such a charming girl to suffer long. so,
in a way that is thoroughly Gil
