Favorable Action by the Senate Last
Evening.
The nomination OF Thomas H. Anderson
to be associate Justice of the Supreme
Court Of the District of Columbia was
confirmed by the Senate last evening at
6 o'clock. The Senate was In executive
session but ten minutes and there was no
opposition to the nomination. Senator Hoar
having made favorable report on it from
the committee on the judiciary.
Judge Anderson was United States at
torney for the District of Columbia, when
he was elevated to his present place upon
the resignation of Judge c. c. Cole last
April His nomination being sent to the
Senate a few weeks ago, protests were
made against his confirmation and the
committee on the Judiciary conducted an
Investigation covering a couple of weeks
in time. Judge Anderson was charged with
being connected with corporations that
were alleged to be conducted in a way that
did not reflect credit on him.
Justice Anderson Of the Supreme Court Of
the District of Columbia was kept busy to-
day receiving congratulations by reason Of
the fact that his appointment to the bench
was confirmed late yesterday, notwith-
standing that action was opposed yigor-
ously for several weeks. Justice Anderson
derives satisfaction from the unanimous
nature of the vote, both Of the committee
on judiciary and Of the Senate.
In conversation this afternoon Justice An
derson stated that he desires 1t understood
that the opposition to his confirmation had
no connection with any mining company, as
has been declared, but was based solely on
the fact that he had served as attorney for

- nouncement OF his Intention 10
erect a handsome home for The Herald
on his new Main street property. good
many inquiries have been made as TO
the kind OF building II will be and the
significance OF the move. To any one
familiar with Senator Clark's plans. his
acquisition OF such valuable realty
wosld be proof positive OF his deter
mination TO make his Interest in Utah
permanent This view is confirmed by
the following from the Butte Miner.
which is owned by Senator Clark, and
therefore speaks for him with authori-
". The Miner says:
1T was announced by telegraph last
night from Salt Lake City that a deal
had been eonsummated by which Sen
ator w. A. Clark secured from Walker
Brothers a valuable piece Of property
on the east side OF Main street, close to
Second South street. which is in the
heart OF the business center Of Utah's
capital. The lot. for which he paid
$4,000 has a frontage of twenty-four
feet and a depth Of 1855 feet. and i'm
mediately adjoining a lot OF like d.
pensions purchased by the senator
some months ago for a little over
Ssl. 900.
When seen last night by a Miner
reporter Senator Clark announced 1t

Office building upon the site. which.

his intention TO place thereon an ex-
pensire building. Senator Clark gives
not only an earnest OF his intention TO
quickly complete the San Pedro. Los
Angeles & salt Lake railroad. but an
expression OF his faith in Salt Lakes
promising future"
The gentlemen OF the anvil chorus
who have been zealously trying to dis
credit Senator Clsrk's good faith in the
matter OF the San Pedro railroad ought
TO be satisfied now that he meant IL

At LAST CANDIDATE HOWELL
\ has been smoked out. II his
speech at Mt. Pleasant Monday night
he is quoted as saying that II the tarinr
was removed from sugar not a factory
In the United States could run. and the
sugar trust would be in a position to
control the business as effectively as at
present. Although he might have been
a great deal more specific. The Herald
understands Mr.. Howell to mean that
Il elected he will resist any attempt to
lower the duty on sugar.
In the light OF his statement he can
hardly vote even for a 20 per cent re-
duction on Cuban sugar. for. II a re-
noval Of the entire tariff viii stop all
the wheels. a reduction OF 20 per cent
should stop one-fifth Of them.
But. 4 Mr.. Howell is going TO vote
against the presidents pet policy. what
excuse is there for eleeting him TO sue
coed Congressman Sutherland? From
one end OF the state 10 the other and
then across and back again 1t has been
argued that Mr.. Howell should be elect
ed because he would be lin line with
the administration"
Indeed. that is practically the only
argument that has been made In his
favor for Il Is conceded very generally
by Republicans that so far as qualifi-
cations for filing the position are con-
Cerned, Mr.. Howell is conspicuously in
ferior to Judge King. How can the
state be helped by sending TO Wash
ington a man who win oppose the ad-
ministration. Notwithstanding the fact
that he is OF the same political faith as
the president? Would it not be better
to elect a man who viii stand squarely
against Republicanism than to choose
one who will stab his own party's
leader?
Clearly Mr. Howell viii Be obliged to
do some explaining or his friends viii
have to find some other excuse for in
sisting on his election. They may quote
from this same Mt Pleasant speech
Mr.. Howelrs assertion that the over
whelmlng issue in this campaign is the
unfolding Of the policies Of Theodore
Roosevelt. Who he went so far as to
say. is the greatest president the ma
ton has ever had.
How can Mr.. Howell reconcile these
statements? How can he claim to be
consistent when he says in one breath
that he will not vote 20 sustain the
presidents pet policy and in the next
breath call Roosevelt the greatest pres
dent the nation has ever had? The
Herald is not inclined 10 be unduly
critical but it is decidedly of the
opinion that Candidate Howell has
made a bad mess of Il.

DRESIDENT COTTRELL of the SAT-
L Lake City council has been guilty
of a good many fool speeches and ac-
tons since he was elevated TO his pres
ent position. but he fairly out-Cottrelled
Cottren Monday night. In the course OF
some remarks about the insurance rate
situation, Cottrell. with unspeakable
stupidity, charged Health Oflcer King
with the responsibility for the increase
in rates just ordered by the insurance
authorities.
The health department Of Salt Lake
City is one of the few branches Of the
city government against which no
charge Of ineficiency or incompetency
has been justly laid during the last
three years and nine months. Under
the guidance of DR.. King sanitary con-
ditions have been improved as they
were never improved before. Salt Lake
City was never so free from disease
breeding garbage and filth as it is to-
day. and for this excellent state of eff
fairs Dr. King is entitled to all the
credit.
Nobody except Cottrell has even been
foolish enough to suppose that one of
the duties OF the health department is
to look after the enforcement of the fire
regulations That is a matter which
comes strictly within the province Of
the fire department. and IL the fire chief
has been too busy looking after 20
Iitieal campaigns 10 attend to this duty.
it certainly is not the fault Of DR.. King
or the men under him.
It Is quite possible that cottrelrs en-
tireiy unwarranted attack on DR.. King
was provoked by the fact that the
health officer. although an earnest Re-
publican, has successfully resisted all
efforts TO turn the health department
into a Republican machine. And all
good citizens viii join in commenda-
ton Of DR.. King for this stand
But it Is hardly necessary for The
Herald to enter into a defense of DR..
King from verbal assaults by such a
man as CottreI. Cottrell can say moth
ing which would lower the health Of
ticer In the high esteem In which he is
so justly held by all who know him.

FOREIGN MERCHANTS WAYS.
Their Faith in Integrity Of Humanity
Asctonished a Chicago Visitor.

Simple trust in humanity appears to
be the business guide of the CONT
mental merchant, as observed by Ben
jamin j. Rosenthal in a recent tour
Of Austria, Germany and France. To
the merchant from Chicago, where the
rule of trust no one until he has
proven himself is in vogue, the ways
of the European were d revelation.
When a jeWeler whom he had never
seen before offered to let MIR. Rosen-
thai take an article to America on
approval. the Chicago man gave up
trying to solve their business sys-
tenn.
''The continental merchants faith in
humanity would receive many sad
shock here" said Mr.. ROsenthal in
speaking of his experience. Il mad
observed this tendency TO take every
mans word. but it was brought home
with great force by one merchant. He
was a JeWeler. and. while I was look
ing at an article, he said to me:
- Take II with you to America. and
II you don't like ii, return 1t. II IL
suits you, pay me when you come
back
II wonder how he would get along
here. The same is true in the res
taurants of Berlin, where you tell the
collector what you have eaten, and
pay him accordingly. He never ais
putes you word Still, / suppose If
they lost much by this plan, they would
change it. AT the banks they let the
money lie about on the desks with only
a three-foot railing 10 protect il. At
tire hotels instead of paying at the Of
flee the waiter fon your floor brings
your bill and makes the change from
his own pocket The only time YOU
need see the manager is when you
leave, and he is at the carriage to bid
you adieu and gSdspeed."
Among the conipa risons made by the
Chicagoan between the manners Of
Austria. Germany and France. and
those of America, are the following;
American women are respected and
protected from hard toll. In Austria
women are found doing the mental
and arduous labor on the streets, in
parks and in the fields. Conditions
are better in Germany, but women
working in the fields are a common
sight, and France in this respect fol-
lows Germany.
"Publie utilities are more closely con-
trolIed. and Accommodations from them
may be had at greatly lessened cost.
Public officials are more polite and
are more eager to extend services to
strangers. Railroad fare and telegraph
tolls are less than in America and the
service is excellent.
Driving in the cities is at such low
rates for fare that it is universal
pastime in all the countries visited.

thought to be the only land which
produced that precious stone. It was
not, therefore. until the discovery Of
India that the diamond was known

"didactic history of precious stones

supply must have been plentiful. as
he wrote: 1--WE drink out of a mass
OF gems, and our drinking vessels are
formed of emeralds." We are also told
that Nero aided his weak sight by
spectacles made of emeralds.
But il is very difficult TO determine
whence all the gems came, as discov-
erers took care TO leave no record.
The nations who traded in them were
afraid of their whereabouts being
known and even the most ancient
merchants would not disclose any def
mite locale. All sorts Of myths have
accordingly sprung up concerning the
origin of gems. 'Diamond" was the
name given to a youth VINO was
