PAVING BRIGHAM STREET.

THE INDICATIONS are that at least
i a start toward the paving OF Brig
ham street throughout its entire length
viii be made this year The councils
committees on streets and finance
have voted in favor Of paving Brigham
street as far east as Fourth East
street, which is a respectable beginning.
even though the thoroughfare is to be
improved on one side only
A majority Of the individuals who
own property on Brigham street would
prefer 10 have the work done all at the
same tine, or as nearly the same time
as possible. On the principle, though,
that half loaf is better than starva-
ton, they via accept the Fourth East
street proposition philosOphically. It is
better to pave four blocks on one side
than TO let the street go entirely un-
improved.
IT is certain that, sooner or later,
in spite Of the objections raised by
some Of the property owners. Brigham
street win be a show street really
worthy Of the na5ae. Today practically
every tourist who visits Salt Lake goes
out Brigham street to see the handsome
residences that line It almost from be-
ginning to end. In the winter they see
the mud, in the summer the dust.
There is hardly a city in the United
States Of Salt Lakes pretensions that
hasn't at least one paved boulevard
which is shown to visitors with pride
and which is a source OF pleasure TO all
the people. This should be true of salt
Lake and Brigham street is the thor
oughfare TO improve But it is hardly
necessary for The Herald TO argue the
question at this time.
Indeed the only strange thing about
the matter is that it has ever been.
necessary to argue the question. The
eb5ecting property holders do not seem

that for every foot Of paving in front

and more, too.
The objection that the city cannot
afford to pave the street intersections
is met by the statement that the out

handsome dividends in the form Of

SUNDAY HERALD FEATURES.

ON THE PRINCIPLE that fair eX-
" change is no robbery The Herald
feels that, IN announcing the discon-
tinuance of the George Ade Modern
Fables" after the coming Sunday for
period of two months and substituting
therefor the work of Z. W. Townsend
and John Kendrick Bangs. readers OF
The Sunday Herald viii suffer no
diminution in their interest in the pa
Der. While Mr.. AIDES FABLES" have
been a very popular feature, the pop
uIarity OF Mr.. Townsend and Mr.. Bangs
IS equally widespread.
Mr.. Townsend is the author Of the
famous "Chiumie Fadden" stories
During July he will contribute four
of them to The Sunday Herald. In
August Mr.. Townsend and Mr.. Bangs
Will both contribute stories and
sketches Mr.. AIDE viii resume his

with the Townsend and Bangs contri-
buttons, The Sunday Herald win fully
maintain its high standard Of the past
But that is not all by any means.
on Sunday next win be begun the
publication Of a continued story by that
well known and always interesting
author, Robert Barr. There is
strength and vigor about the work Of
Mr.. Barr that has found many imi-
tators, but no peers In every one OF
his sentences is a breath OF virile life.
He makes his characters live. move,

their adventures one ceases to wonder
whether or not the events described
could have happened. One feels that
they did happen.
over the Border is the title of the
Barr story that begins next Sunday.
1t is written in Mr.. Bars best style.
To those who are familiar with his
work. and the list includes thousands
IN Salt Lake and Utah and elsewhere,
no higher communication is necessary.
The tale deals with the fascinating
period IN English history when Crom-

w HILE THE PLATFORM adopted
w by the Iowa Democrats in their
state convention hardly has the ring
of a keynote, it contains some good
general principles and is interesting
because it in way blazes a trail for
1904 A distinct reafirmatiOn Of the
Kansas City platform was voted down,
but this action viii cause no surprise,
for it was not unexpected. There
are enough sound Democratic planks
in the platform for all the Iowa Dem
ocrats to get together on.
The tariff plank is given special
prominence, and naturally so, for Iowa
has been a tariff storm center in both
parties. The Iowa Democrats say on
this subject:
The tariff policy originally adopted
for the avowed purpose of raising reve-
nue. to meet the enormous burdens Of
the civil war has been turned to the
use Of individual and class interests,
until it has become the creator Of
countless unearned fortunes and the
shelter of huge combinations of cap
ital, organized in the form of trusts.
which are strangling competition in
many of our Industries. destroying in
dividual effort. crushing ambition
largely in every line Of Industry, and
already acquiring a power which en-
ables them to dictate in their own in
terests the prices of labor and Of raw
material, and the cost Of finished
products"
That seems to cover the tariff ques-
ton except that the convention should
have declared in favor Of the imme-
date adjustment Of the tariff now
levied on articles that come into COM
petition with trust-made products. The
platform that simply denounces an
evil without pointing out a remedy
cannot be called constructive. The
platform very properly points out the
evils in the financial legislation pro-
posed by Senator Aldrich as follows:
I'VE protest against the plan pre-
sented in the AIdrich bill. recently be-
fore the United States senate, by
which the money of the nation shall
be loaned to capitalists upon the bonds
and securities Of private corporations,
as an effort to give value and stability
to watered bonds and securities of
corpora tons and trusts. many Of which
are maintaining mOnopOlies in defiance
of law and public sentiment.
These are the chief features Of the
platform. and the Democrats Of Iowa
should be able to go before the people
and make a good fight.

shall alone pay for country roads Is
nothing short of a barbarous absurd
ity. In New York, Pennsylvania and
New Jersey, state aid in road building
is now extended, it being recognized
that as good roads directly affect tne
general public, their cost should be IN
part borne by general taxation. me
proper procedure at this time should
be for the country population to insist
upon the passage of the Brownlow
bill, so that national aid might bear
half the expense; then insist upon
such state legislation as would secure
one-fourth of the cost from general
state taxation, thus leaving onefourtn
of the cost to be borne by purely local
taxation levied upon property directly
affected. Such a division of the ex-
pense of building good roads would
seem fair and equitable in view OF the
relative interest and the relative abll-
ity to pay of the various elements OF
our population.-The Country Gentle
man.
