cELEaRATE LES NoIsILY.

NEXT SATURDAY the real birthday
N Of the nation VIII be celebrated.
with all the noise and fuss appropriate
to the occasion. 1t is in connection
with the noise feature Of the ceIebra-
ton that The Herald desires to say a
few words this morning. For several
days, indeed for several weeks, we
have been having sporadic celebrations
Of the glorious Fourth.
Peaceful passengers on street cars
have been rudely Jared by consecutive
explosions Of giant caps under the
wheels. Old family horses have madIy
tried to climb trolley poles as FIRE
crackers popped under their feet In
valids have been deprived Of health
restoring rest and a thousand minor in
conveniences and discomforts have been
caused by the premature celebrations.
The principle of the thing is alto
gether wrong. There is neither rhyme
nor reason in a celebration that is be
gun two weeks before the proper time
and carried on for a similar period after
the great day is over, as is the rule in
Salt Lake. Patriotism does not con-
sist in exploding frecrackers, giant
bombs and tOrpedOes. Thousands Of
dollars are wasted on these nOise-pro-
dUcers and hundreds of accidents, IA
tai and otherwise, are occasioned every
year.
The Herald believes Independence
day should be appropriately cele=
brated. We do not object seriously to
a reasonable amount Of noise. If the
boys want to touch off a few frecrack-
ers and giant caps and other things it
is all right for them TO do it. The
same privilege is cheerfuIy accorded
to men and women, too, if they haven't
ingenuity enough to enjoy themselves
4 in a more rational way.
But there is a limit to all things. The
police have authority to stop and they
should stop these explosions before and
after the Fourth Of July If we must
have noise and disorder, let US com
press all of it into the space of twenty
four hours. That would be far better
( than stringing it along over a period Of
a month or more. And in this connec-
ton it might be said that there is al
} together too much carelessness in Salt
Lake about exploding the various de-
/ vices for producing a racket.
Great hrecrackers are thrown under
the feet OF horses, they are touched of
/ in business houses and offices, sky
rockets are aimed at panes of glass:
nobody. sick or well, is given the slight
/ est consideration The wonder is, not
! that there are so many accidents, but
that the number is so small in proper
+ ton to the possibilities.

ABOUT wATERED" STOCKS.

I y THE COURSE of some interesting
L statements relative to stocks ana
the stock market. J. s. Oliver. a New
York broker. discusses the common
stock question. He cites the case Of
one company with assets aggregating
less than SIS, 900 600 in actual value
that has nearly $S6.OOO,OOO of stock on
The market. of which $4,000, 600 is COM
mon stock. on which no dividend has
ever been paid, and on which, accord
ing to an exact mathematical calcu-
Il ton. no dividend ever can be paid.
In other words. the $4,000, 900. con
siderably more than half of the total
capitalization, is pure water for the
thirsty and unsuspecting lamb to
drink. Answering the question, Who
gets the money? Mr.. Oliver says it
goes to the manipulators and pro-
motors. The latter get large blocks
of the common stock for organizing
the corporations, and the manipulators
make a market in which 10 dispose of
these worthless shares.
In this connection Mr.. Oliver very
apply says:
eff the legislatures of the various
states could pass such laws as would
require the cancellation of common
stocks, which represent. as a general
thing, promoters profits. and compel
the companies that have issued the
same to redeem all of these common
shares at the price at which they were
introduced on the market, there would
then be no necessity for any make
shift financial legislation to meet the
requirements Of the stock manipu-
lators Of Wall street. and the undigest-
ed securities would then be thoroughly
digested forever
The legislatures could pass an act
for the public good, which would pre-
vent hereafter any corporation from
issuing any more stock than the prop
crty account and assets of the corpora
ton viii show on appraisement at tina
time of issue, and allow no company
to increase its capital stock except
upon a proper showing to the proper
officers Of the state that such earnings
or improvements would justify the fur
Their issue"
These are frst-rate suggestions. It
is very desirable, in the interest Of
the public. that promoters be prevented
from selling worthless stock Mr.. Oil
yer tells US that millions Of dollars
have been paid by lambs for such
stock under the belief that the money
was being put into investments that
would return comfortable dividends.
He says the sooner such people get rid
of their common stocks the better of
they viii be.
Let the promoters and manipu-
lators buy them" he concludes, and
let the stocks remain in their hands,
where they should be-"

WILL Scar WATCHING.


THE PLAN Of Senator Henry Card
4 ner and others to secure money
from the state treasury for a private
irrigation enterprise is one that ap-
Earenry needs thorough ventilation
Senator Gardner and others. under the
provisions of an act which the senator
had passed at the last session of the
legislature, are asking the state board
Of land commissioners to donate 81, 500
toward the completion of a private
scheme.
To is said that the promoters propose
10 divert water from Straw berry creek
to a reservoir site of their own selec-
ton. The water from this reservoir
viii be used to irrigate private lands.
-NOt a single acre of state land will be
benefited in the slightest degree as a
result of The appropriation of state
money. SO far as the right OF the
matter is concerned, Senator Gardner
might as well ask the state to give
him money with which to establish a
dry goods store
The Herald believes strongly in the
principle of irrigation. It believes that
irrigation enterprises should be en-
Outraged in every possible way, but
it does not believe that state funds
should be used in the furtherance Of
Individual interests. If Senator Gard
ner should be able to show that any
Of the public lands of the state would
be benefited, directly or Indirectly, by
lis plan, there could be little objection
to a state appropriation for it.
If the statement Of the case that has
been publicly made is correct, ne is
not entitled to a single dollar from
the public treasury. We may be told
that the state will receive returns from
The Strawberry project in the increased
value of property and a consequent in
crease Of tax returns. The same thing
could be said with all truth of a state
grocery store to be later turned over
to a private corporation or firm.
1t is asserted further that the gov
ernment, in the passage by congress
o. the national irrigation act, has es-
tablished a precedent similar to the
one Senator Gardner desires to estab-
lish. Nothing could be further from
the truth The national irrigation law
does not contemplate aid for private
enterprises. On the contrary. it has
been stated time and time again that
no irrigation project that VIII not re-
claim lands now part Of the public do
main viii be undertaken by the gov
eminent.
More. for every dollar expended by
the government on irrigation works
at least one dollar must be returned TO
the national treasury. Unless IL can

government works viii. in time. pay
for themselves, no works VIII be be
gun. There is a vast difference be
tween this plan and the plan Of sen
ator Gardner.

BUSINESS PRoPosIrIoM.

IA 8 A COLD business proposition"
\ said the manager of smelter
the other day, ct am going TO see If
the saloons In this ncighborhood can
not be put out OF business That so
called Industry is doing US more
harm than any other one thing I can
think Of I wish there was some way
to get rid of every one Of them, and I
am going TO ind out. if can, if there

The manager explained that every
time he had a payday at his works a
large proportion Of the men straight
wav HE themselves TO the nearest sa-
loon. There they remain. soaking
themselves with bad whisky. as long
as their money lasts The saloon in
dustry'' takes decent men and makes
maniacs out Of them; it takes capable
grorSmen and converts them into in
competents. For four or five days
after a payday the smelters are seri-
ously Inconvenience for lack of labor.
There is no sentiment in the man
ayers proposition to abolish the sa-
looms around his establishment. If
his men could drink without incapacl-
tating themselves he wouldn't care
bow much they drank. The waste Of
their money doesn't concern him in the
slightest degree Whether lhey take
care of their families or not doesn't
interest him. What does concern and
interest him. what keeps him awake at
night, is the question of keeping the
smelter in operation.
As he says. it is a cold business
proposition" IT should be within the
power Of that manager TO drive the
saloons that interfere with his work
out of business. Utah should have a
local option law which would give the
voters of given locality the power To
vote the saloons out Of existence
with such a law and with the power-
full influence they can exert in a crisis,
the smelter managers would be able
to make it extremely difficult for their
men TO become intoxicated.
Men who viii not protect themselves
should be protected from themselves

who want to drink VIII find the way
and that IS true to a certain extent;
but men who do not care to drink are

Some Resourceful Agents.

Every once in awhile the newspapers
print stories about the devices adopted
by life insurance men. book canvassers
and others engaged in similar occupations
to gain and hold audiences with their
prospective victims. A favorite story
tells of the life insurance agent who,
when on the point of being elected on
the ground that his victims time was too
valuable to waste in listening to insurance
schemes. bought five minutes of time at
81 a minute. the price being set by the
owner. Of course. At the end of the five
minutes the insurance man had the VIC
TINS signature to a $4,000 policy.
But for simplicity that does not COM
pare with the plan pursued with great
success by an insurance man reported by
the Sun to be working in New York. Ad-
mission to the victim being gained. the
conversation runs something like this:
Insurance Man-Give me a dollar and
I'll tell you something of great interest

With an invitation such as that it is
