II he NATIONAL BUILDING Trades
L Council, in session at Denver, has
endorsed a candidate for president OF
the United States It remains to be
seen what influence this endorsement
will have on the nominating convention
this year. It is fairly safe 20 predict,
however. that no attention will be paid
to it. The National 6uilding Trades
Council has merely succeeded in max
ing itself ridiculous
This is true, not on account OF the
personality or the man endorsed, for
that has nothing whatever to do with
the case, but because an organization
like the National Building Trades
Council has no business meddling with
politics. The purpose Of the associa-
ton, we have been led to believe, is to
better the condition of union workmen,
with special reference to those who are
engaged in the building trades, such as
brick and stouemasOns, electrical
workers, plumbers, plasterers, painters,
paperhangers and the like.
The council is composed of repre-
sentatives of the various sub-unions
who are annually elected as delegates
to the controlling organization. The
action of the council is supposed to be
binding on the unions. Therefore, the
endorsement Of a candidate for the
presidency means that all union men in
the building trades will be expected to
work for the success Of the favored in
dividual. We confess a difficulty in
understanding how an order of this
character can be enforced.
In the unions represented by the Ma
tiOnal Trades Council are many men
of many minds. Some earnestly favor
one candidate, some just as earnestly
favor another and another and anoth
er. These men are not going to sacri-
flee their private political convictions
at the order Of any man or set of men.
Thus will an inharmony be engendered
which cannot fail to result disastrOusly
to the people most interested in the
success Of the unions.
An old philosopher once said in effect
that when the devil wanted to disrupt
a church. he injected politics into its
membership. The same thing is true Of
labor organizations. Opponents eof Ia
Dor unions could wish for no surer
means of breaking them up than pol
itics. The unions have no business
whatever taking sides, as unions, on
any political question, and it is to be
hoped that the example of the National
Building Trades Council will not be
generally followed.

SHOULD IDIOTS BE KILLED.

A DISCUSSION as to the propriety of
y painlessIy terminating the exist
ence Of idiots. hopeiessly insane and
other incurably afflicted persons is
again going on. It was revived in
some measure. by the case of a man
who died not long ago. A man? Rath-
or ne was a thing. Born a helpless,
SOLDERING. disgusting idiot. he lived to
be sixty-six years old. For nearly
three quarters Of a century he had to
be taken care Of as if he had been a
baby
This man knew nothing Of the joy
or living. He had no gratitude for
those who cared for him; he never
knew his own relatives; one attendant
was to him as another attendant. And
so he dragged through the weary
years, a hideously repulsive object
with nothing whatever 10 attract 9th
ers 10 him. Would it not have been
the humane thing TO kill this idiot in
some painless manner as soon as it
became apparent that his brain was
as useless for thinking purposes as so
much mush?
There are many who take the af-
hrmative side of the question, but the
mother who bore him. now long dead.
i'm all probability. the relatives who
looked after him, would not be found
there. Viewed merely as an abstract
proposition it is easy enough to say
that the idiots. the imbeciles. the
hopelessly insane and the incurables
should be removed from the earth. for
their own sake as we'll as for the sake
or humanity. But it is unfair to make
this an abstract proposition.
Take a recent happening in New
York city We quote a paragraph
from a newspaper account:

Ter had been an imbecile, with frequent
attacks Of mania which necessitated

There, in a nutshell, is the case for
the defense. The report from which
the quotation is made goes on 10 say
that the HasselhOf girl was an idiot

to take care of her night and day. At

TIE PAVING QUESTION.

T He NEW BIDS on paving Second
South street from State to Third
East street and State street from
South Temple to North Temple streets
were opened yesterday. The delay Of
few weeks has resulted in a saving
OF $2.543 to the city, il the contract,
which includes a good deal of repair
ing and resurfacing, is awarded to the
lowest bidder OF yesterday.
Upon the original opening Of bids
the board Of public works found only
two bidders, the Barber Asphalt Paw
ing company and the City Street I'm
provemcnt company of San Francisco.
Both bids were entirely too high, be-
sides which they were so close to-
gether as to give the impression, rea-
sonably or Unreasonably, that a COM
bination of the two companies had
been effected. This impression is
strengthened by the fact that yester-
dty the city Street Improvement COM
pauy withdrew from the competition,
apparently with the idea that it was
leaving the nod to the Barber Asphalt
Paving company.
II this was the intention, not 20 say
the hope. of the City people. they were
disappointed for new bidder APP
peared in the person Of p. J. Moran
of Salt Lake. Mr.. Moran's bid was
$50. 207, which figure was just H,63S less
than the bid of the Barber company,
while the Barber bid of yesterday was
1905 under the same concerns original

more than the city engineer had esti-
mated the most of the improvements
To be. but in a contract Of such mag
nitude the difference does not seem so
much.
The main points are that the city
has been saved a considerable sum of
money and that the municipality is not
at the mercy OF outside contractors.
Mr.. Moran, If awarded the contract,
viii file bond in the sum of s25, 900
To- guarantee the soundness OF his work
and TO keep his paving in repair for
a period Of ten years. This is all either
of the other companies or any COM
pany could do. 1t is all they would be
required to do. Therefore it would
seem that the city's interests will be
sufficiently safeguarded if Mr.. Moran
does the work.
Finally, il is necessary, If the paving
is to be done at all. that the work be
commenced at the earliest possible mo-
mcnt We are rapidly nearing the end
of the summer season. Within a few
weeks the weather is likely to become
unsettled, causing delays in outside
work OF every character, and, in some
cases, rendering it impossible. We do
not want the streets torn up in the
fall and left torn up all winter as was
the case on South Temple street last
winter

A prompt and thorough investigation
into the escape of Bob Meeks, the no
tOrious criminal from the Idaho insane
asylum would seem to be in order. The
dispatches say that Meeks was known
to be a desperate and dangerous GRIM
inal; that the officers Of the insane
asylum generally believed that he
feigned insanity in order to be sent to
the asylum. believing his escape from
that institution would be easy. Not
withstanding all this, if reports be true,
no special efforts were made to guard
Meeks safely. Ordinary prudence
would have demanded his incarcera-
ton in a CELL but this course was not
adopted. 1t was known that Meeks
was planning to escape long before he
did escape, and still no precautions
against it were taken. The proper au-
thorities will be derelict in their duty
II they do not at once inquire into the
Meeks case.
