It the Press says is true.
roads are developers of coun-
and civilizers of people. True
is better to have as many differ
ent companies possible construct
and operate the roads, but where
that is impossible, encourage the
ones you have. The Delta of Mis-
sissippi today is worth ten times
as much as it was 20 years ago be-
cause of the railroads. Yazoo
City has doubled its population in
that time, and thrilled in indus
tries from the same cause. Yazoo
City aud the Delta will coutiune to
increase in population, wealth and
industrial enterprises rs railroads
are built. If Yazoo City had three
or four lines its trade facilities and
opportunities would be helped pro-
portionately. Situated as it is,
with no trade center within 100
miles, 1t can and will maintain its
prestige.
The Herald agrees with its Me
rldian co'emporary-the more rail
roads the better. Let us give them
every Legitimate encouragement
and treat them as fairly in the
courts rs the individual citizen de-
mandS and expects.

CUPID AND THE PRINCE.

A CAT may look at a king"
surely an American girl may look
at an heir apparent All Germany is
riotousiy stirred up over the report
that the crown prince is madly in love
with Miss Gladys Deacon: that he has
expressed a desire TO relinquish his
claim to the German throne. and that
his father, the emperor, has quarreled
violently with him about his love af-
fair
Miss Deacon is the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Parker Deacon OF New York.
About ten years ago Mr.. Deacon shot
and killed a wealthy Frenchman whom
he suspected of attempting TO destroy
his happiness He was tried in a
French court and acquitted. A few
years later he died in a private asy-
lum- Thes daughter is reported TO be
very charming young woman. as
most American young women are. and
old ones, too, for the matter Of that.
The young Hohenzoilern met Miss
Deacon at q house party in England
aud ever since he has been very de-
voted TO her Report says he made her
a formal offer Of marriage, but her
reply has not Nbeen given out. Of
course, according TO the inhexible rules
that govern court etiquette. the future
ruler Of Germany may not marry a
commoner and retain his right to rule.
II may be said. in passing, that this
unbcealSable law has not resulted in
making very sturdy royal families. The
result OF an infusion of American
blood in the Hohenzollern line might
do much to improve 1t.
AT any rate the young man has con-
Quoted himself with credit. If his
father consents. and perhaps without
his fathers consent he will surrender
throne for the girl he loves. And
why shouldn't hep There are enough
little HohenzolIerns in Emperor VIII
liam's immediate family to make it
certain that his direct line viii not
become extinct. One OF the younger
boys would undoubtedly be willing 10
take the place of the present crown
prince and that young man could go
on his way rejoicing with his Arneri-
can bride.

THE EVIL OF coverousNEss.

MYTH THE POSSIBLE EXCEPTION
Of jealousy, no human passion is
more cruel than covetousness, and few
are more firmly implanted in the
hearts Of men. A dispatch from vi
emma furnishes a striking illustration
Of this trait. A Polish millionaire.
with money enough to more than sat
fsfy all reasonable wants, wanted his
neighbOr's estate. He went to that
neighbor and tried to purchase it, but
the owner refused to sell. Finally, in
fit of anger. the millionaire killed
himself.
Take heed. and beware of covetous-
ness" said the Man Of Calvary. for
mans life CONSISTENT not in the
abundance OF the things which he pos
sesseth." Since the day when King
Ahab coveted the vineyard of Naboth
and secured it through the wicked
Vaccinations of Jezebel, men have en-
We'd the possessions of their neigh
bors- No limit has ever been fixed to
human greed.
The man who is working for $40 a
week things he would be perfectly sat
isned If he were as fortunate as his
neighbor with $50 This neighbOr with
$40 week feels cramped for means
because friend just across the street
is earning $40 week. And so it goes
in the ascending scale. The. million
are wants more millions. the owner Of
broad acres wants more acres
Too often men seek to add by unfair
means TO that which they have. The
weaker are sacrificed by and to the
stronger, the widow and the orphan
are robbed and hearts are torn by
heree, unreasoning desires for that
which, once acquired, turns to ashes
in the mouth. The banker who killed
himself because he couldn't acquire his
neighbor's property didn't need the
land. He had enough acres and to
spare, but the desire to possess that
one poor little tract ragged through his
VEINS as consuming fire. and life
without it seemed not worth living.
honorable ambition is a worthy at
tribute to any character. The man
who is absolutely satisfied with him
self is hardly worth knowing. and for
tunately there are very few such men.
This would be a poor world. indeed. if
the vast majority OF the inhabitants
thereof didn't feel the need for self
Improvement, mentally, morally and
financially. 1t is possible to want the
good things your neighbor possesses
without harm, if the desire is not ac-
eompanied by a longing to dispossess
the neighbor.
Therein lies the sin Of covetousness.
1t IS as If man owned jewel beyond
price and would not part with it. For
another to long for that jewel until
existence is robbed of all its pleasure
Is the evil against which the warnings
have been written.

There was not one TO be seen. In a
little iron cage goldfish disported, and
there was one sleek and prosperous

THE MUNICIPAL LEAGUE.

THE LEAGUE OF American Munich
L palities holds its sixth annual con-
vention in Grand Rapids, Mich, Aug.
27~29. inclusive PROFESSIONALLY Salt
Lake should be represented at this
meeting officers of more than 800
cities in the United States are mem
bers of the league. They meet once a
year, not for junketing purposes, but
TO discuss seriously plans for the i'm
provement of the cities they represent
The meeting this year promises to
be of peculiar interest The titles of
some of the papers 70 be read are
Municipal Ownership" Organized
Lsbor's Relation TO Municipal Affairs. -
A Modern Street Cleaning Depart
ment," Uniform Municipal Account
ing" and What is Crime and Who
Are Criminals2" other subjects for
discussion viii be the government of
modern cities. street paving, trans
portation and taxation. the contract
system and methods OF handling the
liquor traffic.
Salt Lake is deeply interested in
most of these topics. It would be
money in the pockets of the taxpayers
if the council should appropriate a
sum of money sufficient to send a rep
resentative. The trouble with salt
Lake City governments has always
been that the men composing it know
precious little about city affairs. They
do not have the opportunity to inyes-
ugate conditions in other cities and
so learn how to improve matters in
their own.
No city can be a member of the
League of American Municipalitizs
without getting fun value for the
money expended. Only the brightest
representatives Of city governments
attend the conventions, and the ex-
change of ideas is mutually beneficial
This idea is stated in the address sent
out by the secretary Of the league. He
says:
The league represents the first and
only united effort on the part OF city
officials in all departments to study the
various and complex questions in
vowed IN municipal administration
with a view to giving their constftu-
ents the very best OF public service nv

FERNsTRoMPS EXPLANATION.

T HE HERALD has received from
L Councilman Fernstrom the fol-
lowing defense of his part in the pur-
chase of the mattress factory water
right, referred to editorially in yester-
days issue:
In your editorial OF today's issue APP
pears bitter attack upon the buying of
the Utah mattress factOryS water rights.
Permit me to state a few facts concern
ing the matter, as L am no doubt the
Democrat referred to in your editorial.
The additional water referred to runs
IL feet. of 900 gallons, per day.
It is true that Commissioner Smith has
divided that water between the city and
the four canal companies. and 1t is equal
~ true that the South Jordan Canal COM
pany has leased for consideration of
500 the West Jordan mill water rights,
which is 30.2 feet, for the season. for
three nights a week, namely. from Thurs
day night until Sunday night. Then the
Utah & Salt Lake Canal company has an
option on the Cooper mill water rights,
which is 2S.2 feet, which is used three
days a week. All this water is equally
divided between the city and the four
be seen that three days in the week we
receive more water than we bought.
1t is also true that four days in the
week We only receive one-fifth of what
we bought. The Cooper mill water
rights are now in court to be adjudieated.
and these rights are identical with the
water rights, and until that is settled. no
one can definitely state what the result
VIII be, but the city holds a $500 bond
as guarantee in case il cannot use the
said water That alone should be suf-
ficient to silence all attempts at alta clSing
that transaction. As far as buying
lawsuit is concerned. | challenge anyone
TO show me how We can Increase our
water supply without a lawsuit. The fact
OF the matter Is. that our state laws gov
erning water rights are of such a ma
ture that water rights cannot he trans
ferred from one locality to another with
out q great deal of risk and litigation so
If the city should stop increa sing It's water
supply for fear of litigation we viii never
be able TO increase the supply one drop.
If The Herald had needed any con-
firrnation OF its opinion OF the deal,
Councilman Fernstrom's communica-
ton would supply the need The meat
of the whole proposition is in one sem
tence: 1T is also true that four days
in the week we only receive one-fifth
of what we bought
As Mr.. Fernstrom says, until the
case now in court is settled, no one
can definitely state what the re-
suit will be. But one result is al
ready definitely known. and that is a
shortage in water supply that has not
been remedied by the expenditure of
$500 for the acquisition of a law suit.
If the city council, or any member of
it. takes pride in such a defense as
Mr.. Fernstrom makes, it has reached
the last stage of ineompetency and
ought 10 apply for a guardian.

the Montana musicians complained un-
justly of the award. The preliminary
contest at Liberty park was under
stood TO be merely 2 test for the final
entries, and in no case was it an
nounced that the markings in the pre-
liminaries would be considered in the
final decision. The test piece in the
finals was the ''Tannhauser," and on
its rendition of this extremely difficult
score, Butte unquestionably ranked
high above its nearest competitor.
But in making up the final score, the
adjudicators included the preliminary
markings, with the result that a tie
was announced and the bands were
asked to play it off at Saltair. Even then
the Butte musicians might not have
felt aggrieved. but the pieces given for
the tie were peculiarly in favor of the
Denver band. and written so that the
Butte organization could not possibly
do them Justice because the score
called for instruments outside the
Butte equipment. Naturally. the Butte
men declined to enter contest on
which the result could only be against
them.
1t is only fair to our northern neigh
bors to say that they were playing
purely for the honor of winning. and
had announced in advance their inten-
ton of leaving the prize money in Salt
Lake for some charity, II they won.
They felt disappointed at their treat
ment and with good reason
The outcome of the contest was the
only unfortunate incident of the whole
week, and no one could regret 1t more
than the Salt Lakers who knew the
circumstances. The Butte musicians
left behind them a reputation for good
fellowship and good music that made
friends of everyone who met or heard
them, and it is hoped they will give
this city an opportunity at some flu
ture time to show its genuine appre-
citation of their organization.

two or three weeks the two men had

vas thoroughly worn out, and so, late
one night, when they had reached a
little village in northern Italy, he was
greatly pleased when the New York
publisher announced that here they
would rest for two. weeks. They would
have the rest which they had been
seeking. Along about o'clock the next
morning Mr.. Barr was awakened by a
terrible humping on his door. and then
he heard the New York publisher cali

rest after that when a publisher was
