An INDIsCREET FRIEND.

A DMIRAL SCHLEY is in another
II hot plunge because Of the letter
he wrote to Correspondent Graham
Immediately after the adjournment of
the court Of inquiry. Ia his letter he
spoke of SIMPSONS absence from the
Santiago fight and urged Graham to
write his history without fear or IA
vor. now there is talk among the
anti-Schley partisans of another in
quiry or at least a reprimand for the
famous fighter.
The admiraTs friends are willing to
admit that his communication to Ora
ham was indiscreet. He had no bust
ness putting on paper any opinions,
statements or suggestions involving
Admiral Sampson, but ne had no idea
his letter would be given TO the pub
lie Admiral Schley's relations with
Graham had been of the most friendly
and confidential character. The men
had been through the campaign to-
gether and they held each other in
high esteem.
Naturally, when Graham wrote the
admiral o. his intention to publish a
history. tie l0tter felt that common
courtesy demanded a reply. He wrote
| it. marked it personal and dropped it
! into a letter box. The next thing he
knew the correspondent had given it
the widest Publicity he possibly could
Mr. Graham's conduct was most rep
! rehensibIe. The Schley letter should
have been held as sacred confidence,
intended. as the admiral undoubtedly
intended it, only for his own private
/ information.
This unwarranted action on the part
of Mr.. Graham is calculated to bring
the entire newspaper profession. Of
which he has heretofore been an able
exponent, under a cloud. 1t is calcu-
lated to make men in public life ex-
tremely careful about what they say
or Whist they write to newspaper re-
/ porters for they will argue that if a
man of Graham's standing can be
guilty of so grCss a breach of confit
! dence, no newspaper man can be
: trusted. OF course there is no warrant
for such a conclusion, for not one mem
Der of the profession in a thousand
would have acted as Graham did. but
the argument viii be made by public
men just the same.

EXCLUSION FOES ACTIVE.

IT Is BEGINNING to look as if the
Chinese exclusion act would not have
unobstructed sailing. after all. The
willy Celestial has been able to enlist
some powerful friends in his support
and a vigorous fight against the pas
age of the bill may be expected. The
friends Of the measure cannot afford to
rest until both houses have voted ia
vorably on the act.
Quite recently Senator William E.
Mason Of Illinois, who for months had
been posing as a friend of exclusion,
admitted that he had sent out pam
phlets containing alleged arguments in
favor of admitting the Chinese. For
mer Secretary of State John W. Foster
is another friend at court for the hea-
then. He is a powerful factor in the
lobby and may be expected to work
increasingly. Word comes from the east
that the Pacific transportation com
panies have raised an enormous fund
to be used in whatever manner shah
seem necessary to prevent the bill from
passing.
There is reason to believe the report
is true. If the ports of the country
should be throw open to the thou
sands Of coolies who are now preDar-
ing to swarm into the United States,
the revenues Of the great steamship
corporations would be increased many
fold. They can well afford to organize
and maintain d powerful lobby at the
national capital. They can we'll afford
to use ''weighty" arguments wherever
national law makers are open to them.
1t is not necessary at this time to
go over again the woes which would
Overwhelm American labor through the
importation Of yellow coolies. The fact
that they would enter into competition,
not only with uaskilled workmen but
with workmen in every line, has long
been established The United States
does not need that class of immigrants.
Chinese do not affiliate with Ameri-
cans, they can never become citizens,
and their sole interest in coming here
is to see how much money they can
gather and send back home.
The laboring men of this country,
used as they are to a greater share of
the good things of life than their fell
lows abroad, must not be subjected to
unfair competition. They must be pro-
tected, and congress will protect them
if the friends of Chinese exclusion
stand firmly together

TONNAGE OF OUR PORTS.

= ONE INTERESTING statistics on
y the value Of the tonnage of Amer
lean ports have been compiled by the
New York Journal of Commerce. They
show that while New York's foreign
trade amounts TO more. than $1,000, O0O-
00u a year. a sum greater than the to-
tai of all other ports, the metropolis
is losing steadily in several lines, while
the rest are gaining. The time is yet
far distant when the competitors of
the worlds seco ID city Will be abreast
of it. but that time may be coming.
In 1901 there was a Gain Of S25. O00. 600
for the country at large in the exporta-
ton OF breadstufs, but New York fell
s., 90O. GOO behind its record of 1900. New
Orleans was the greatest gamer, hav-
ing a margin of Ss,OOoOO0. Baltimore
gained 100000, Boston S3,9O0OOO and
Galveston S2,0O0.OO0. In the wheat

AN ANTIoUATED BILL.
Wanted Pay For Steers Sold to Gen
eral Wadsworth's Father in 1919.
lWashington Cor. - 20 MorId )

washington Cor. New York WorldD
A man at least 50 years old came into
the office Of Representative Wadsworth
Of New York few days ago. Mr. Wads-
worth was out, but the clerk invited him
to have a seat and wait for the congress
man TO return.
My name is Williams said the caller.
and came in TO see if Mr.. Wadsworth
would pay little bill 1 have against
| him.
'Of course he will remarked the clerk.
Let me see it, and I win probably be
able TO settle it and save you the trouble
of waiting for him..
The old man passed the bill over 10 the
clerk, whose face tw Eng as he saw
That the bill was made OUT against the
father OF the congressman, who was
killed in the civil war.
Why he exclaimed. this is against
General WadswOrth, who has been dead
nearly forty wears"
The old man said he knew that very
vel, but he thought it would do 10 harm
TO see if the son would not settle it.
Il heard Just a few DAYS ago thar the
general was dead. but as I had planned
10 come on in few days to ask him for
the money, 1 thought / would see the son
You see, Mr. WadswOrth's father bought
that pair OF steers from me in 1913
/ didn't need the money then, but I think
do now. and that's why came
A few questions ELECTED the fact that
Mr. Williams lives twenty-five miles frorr
\ the city and that he had walked everg
loot OF the way; The clerk urged the old
! man TO prolong his stay when he began n
| get hdgety after waiting more than ar
/ hour for the congressman.
NO, said he. 4 guess I'd better toddle

/ the stock
And he toddled. But a registered letter

CITY NEARLY BANKRUPT.

DURING THE municipal campaign
~ last fall the main issue before the
voters was the question whether the
Thompson administration had squan-
dered the funds provided by taxes or
not Tie city auditor furnished what
DurI orted TO be q statement of the
city's finances. showing a large surplus
available for city purposes. anu on this
showing the voters Of the city returned
Mayor Thompson and his party asso-
fdates TO power. The Herald said at
the time that the city treasury mad
been de.leted: that an increase in the
tax levy for this year would be ne
cessity and that nothing but economy
Of the most rigid sort would enable the
administrs tioI to avoid embarrassment
when the real facts became known.
Now as 20 the facts as they are
becoming known: The city treasurer's
statement, published yesterday. shows
that the city will have to borrow
money within a week with which TO
meet current expenses; all of the large
sum held I'm special funds Is covered
b. contracts for work in progress, and
an increase of possibly 20 per cent in
the tax levy for this year viii barely
meet the regular expenses Of the de-
partments. There is no talk Of econ
omy, either By the mayor or any of his
department heads. On the contrary,
the only recommendations before the
council call for additional offices and
corresponding increases in the cost Of
operating the citys business. More
over. there must be additional apprO-
priations for the fire departments
proper equipment, which cannot be
avoided.
Never before in it's history has the
city beer compelled to borrow thus
early in the year for ordinary ex-
penses; never has the deficit been so
large-and this in the face Of a largely
Increased revenue from all sources.
Comment on the management that
gives such results is unnecessary; what
is needed now is a policy of economy
ia every department. That the public
can be served better than it is and at
a much lower cost is apparent to every
body familiar with the situation. All
that is needed is the displacement of
incompetent officials by conscientious,
capable men who viii pay more atten-
tion to their business and less to poll
tics.

CONGRESSIONAL cowARDIcE.

IN THE FACE of President Roose-
L velt's known friendship for the
measure to reduce the tax on sugar
imported from Cuba; despite Governor
Leonard Woods explicit declaration
that Cuba must be helped by such a
reduction or else suffer bankruptcy
and starvation, the Republican leaders
in congress have evidently determined
TO deny the Cubans any relief. They
haven't the courage TO 90 on record
openly be defeating the bill, but have
cooked up a plan to avoid direct ac-
ton by repeating the war revenue
taxes and so reduced the revenue from
internal sources that a reduction in
the sugar tariff win be Impossible.
Aside from the moral obligation rest
Ing upon the whole nation TO aid the
CuSans even at n sacrifice, the ma
jority in congress stands convicted Of
repudiatlng its executive leader, its
pledges to the people Of Cuba and the
implied agreement conveyed in the
Platt amendment to the Cuban cOnstl-
tuition.
The beet sugar combination which
has effected this sudden change in the
Republican congressional policy, prob
ably feared the precedent more than
the actual result that would have fol-
lowed the small reduction in the tariff
on Cuban sugar. So long as the do
nestle demand is immensely greater
.han the product of the beet sugar fac
tories. such a reduction could have
but little effect on prices. But If the
beet interests had not fought this bill
they would probably have been con-
fronted later with a proposal to make
still further reductions on sugar i'm
DC rtations from other countries and,
vi wing the matter selfishly. as all in
terests view tariff benefits, they have
wqged an apparently successful fight
on the Cuban measure.
The result is pitiful confession Of
fnsincerity and moral dishonesty by
what we are pleased to call the great
est nation on earth. 1t is to the credit
of the Democrats as we'll as to Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Governor Wood
that they have remained firm TO the
pledges made when Cuba was forced
to accept the Plat amendment, and
have insisted that Cuba be given all
the assistance she is entitled to.
Whether congress shall be allowed to
throttle public sentiment and evade
it's responsibilities win lie with the
president and the senate; and it is to
be hoped they may still be able to Sc
cure some measure Of justice for the
dependent people who ask as a boon
what they are entitled to demand as Il
right

prohting more than any other port by
New York's losses. In the last twenty
five years the export trade of the big
city has doubled and IT'S import trade
has increased 50 per cent, but the net
loss in all lines of exports for 1901 was
A0,O00,0OO, as compared with 1899 and
its import trade was far under several
previous years.
The showing as q whole is not eaIcu-
lated to make many friends for Sena-
tor Frye's subsidy bill. With
out any subsidy whatever the
export business of the United
states has gone forward at an
amazingly rapid pace, and although
New York may be losing. the other
ports are gaining more than enough To
make up this loss. In round figures
the value Of all the exports from the
United States in 1901 was in the neigh
bOrhOod of $3.50. coo 600.

RAILROADS AND TEMPERANCE.

THE RECENT ANNOUNCEMENT Of
i the intention of western roads to
enforce more rigidly the rule forbid
ding the use of intoxicating liquors by
employees, draws attention to the great
est lesson in temperance. which is now
before the American people. The man
who drinks cannot stay in the railroad
business in the west or anywhere else.
His mind must be clear, his muscles
steady. his faculties alert, or out he
goes.
A rule of the Union Pacific reads:
''The use Of intoxicating drink by en-
ployes will be considered good cause
for dismissal from the service" a
similar regulation of the Rio Grande
Western is: Under no circumstances
will train and enginemen be called at
saloons for duty. Frequenting saloons
will be considered cause for dismissal
from the service" Railroad managers
are doing only their plain duty when
they insist on the enforcement of these
regulations to the letter.
Men into whose hands are commit
ted life and property have no right to
ieopardize that life and property by
indulgence in alcoholic stimulants. An
eminent Judge once decided that the
man who takes but one drink is, in
some degree. intoxicated. That is just
as true as the fact that one drop of
water in pint measure is part of q
70 H. -axs
truthfully that the standard of tenn
/ perance is higher among railroad men
than in any other class of wage earn
ers. Temperance is a matter of bust
ness with them, as well as of pride.
They realize their responsibilities now
as they never realized them in the old
days With the rapidly increasing
speed of both passenger and freight
trains. with the enormous growth in
traffic on all railroads. it has become
imperative that the train crews must
have unclouded intellects and sure
hands. Time was when they could loaf
around the depot saloons and go out
half drunk on their runs, but that day
has passed.
No moral question is involved in the
regulations. bat there is a moral side
to the situation. The example of the
hundreds of thousands of sober
! healthy. steady railroaders with their
/ comfortable homes and their happy
families is a powerful factor in pro-
noting temperance among others. Long
may they keep up the good work.

ON SHOWING AFFECTION.

IN THE SALT LAKE police court
last week a man was sentenced to
serve 100 days in prison for beating
his wife Hardly a week passes that
does not hole similar record, to the
everlasting shame of the temper
cursed wretches who are guilty of the
offense. Paul. the apostle. who wrote,
He that marrieth doeth well, but he
that remaineth single doeth better,
also wrote. $50 ought men to love their
wives as their own bodies.
For no man ever yet hated his own
flesh"
The wife beater is cruel beyond eX-
preston. but he is a humanitarian of
snow-white reputation when compared
with the man who slowly kills his wife
with neglect 1t doesn't take 2 beat
ing to crush a woman. There are
more refined forms Of torture than
that. The woman who is beaten drags
her bruised body to a couch and, after
time. the pain passes. The neglected
woman has a gnawing maggot in her
soul which feeds with ever growing
rapacity.
Men arc too prone 20 take things
for granted. The loving, CHEEKY little
mother who never lets you see a pOut
on her lips. who meets you as you come
from work with smile that hides her
loneliness. is entitled to just as much
consideration today as she was in the
months before the wedding. To imagine
that now she doesn't care to hear you

pleased and proud TO tell her before
YOU took her away from the old home,

Do you suppose she married you in

boon you have conferred upon her SO
great that she must &c your house
