MONUMENTAL sELFlsHNEss.

The world sustains any loss on account
OF his passing, but because he Is not
where he can hear some honest opinions
about himself. Smith left an estate
valued at $4,000. In his win he decreed
that every cent Of the money be ex-
pended on a monument TO be placed

the dreams Of avarice- But they won't
enjoy any part Of the money unless
they can extract pleasure from visit

magnificent Smith monument
It Is difficult TO conceive OF a more
selfish act than Smiths. Even If he

SOUTH HARD TO PLEASE.

president ROOSEVELT is having
1 a very hard time trying to please
the people of the south. For months
they have been finding fault with him
for appointing negroes 10 office. Now
they find fault with him for removing
a negro and appointing a white man in
his place. The latest outburst Of south
ern indignation is over the case Of Wick,
negro postmaster at Wilson, n. G.
Wick was removed in order to make
room for one Of Senator Pritchard's
Lilly White" candidates. There was no
question as TO the efficiency Of Wick. On
all sides it was agreed that he made a
careful and competent postmaster. The
presidents reason for letting him out
was that Wick had failed to properly
support the Republican ticket, and that
he therefore had no claim to consldera-
ton from his party. Vick's friends de-.
MED the awful accusation, but he is out
of office just the same.
over in Alabama President Roose-
welt has been reproving the Lilly
White" Republicans by appointing ne
groes. To do this he has been COM
PEELED to remove competent whites in
order that "the door Of opportunity
might be opened to colored gentlemen
who may or may not be competent. The
thing certainly does have a queer look.
Is the North Carolina Lily White" a
less despisable person than the Ala
bama Lilly White? The president
evidently thinks so or he would not act
as he has been acting.
President Roosevelt has grown to be
a pretty fair sort Of politician since he
went into office a year and a half ago.
He believes now. If he did not believe
then, that the spoils belong TO the vic
tors and that they are to be disposed Of
I'm a manner that viii do the leaders
among the victors the most good. How
ever. no matter what he does, he isn't
going to be able 10 please the south in
this negro business. and he might as
well stop trying.

FINANCIAL SITUATION,

w ALL STREET Is giving a first
W class initiation these days OF 2
spell OF Katzenjammer. Prices have
been demoralized, money has been tight
for speculative purposes. and the Sit
uation IS strained on worse. The pr.-
mary cause Is probably oVer-capital-
ization. but labor troubles, advances in
wages and the consequent withdrawal
of outside money from speculation have
ali played part Finally, the struggle
between James r.. Keene and his fol-
lowers on one side and the Hartman
interests on the other have precipi-
tated a contest which is feared by the
wolves and the lambs alike.
Southern Pacific is the center Of the
battle. but all the allied interests are
involved more or less and it Is appar-
entity a night TO a finish The failure

time to keep their hides on.
Fortunately for the intermountain re-
gion in general, and Utah i'm particular
the speculative situation cannot affect
operations as seriously here as it af-
fects eastern undertakings. The money
here comes out Of the ground; a very
large proportion Of it stays at home in
the shape of wages and cash paid for
supplies. Even the dividends which in
other western states too frequently go
abroad are distributed in the cities near
the scene Of mining and agricultural
operations. Added to this is the nat
uraly conservative management Of
financial affairs in Utah, which pre-
vents ver-speculaton, provides a
healthy reserve for fluctuations and
forestalls any grave difficulty from coll
lapsed bOoms or over-innation Of any
kind.

CLEAN THE CITY.

THERE WAS MORE than a hint Of
i spring in the air yesterday. The
sunshine had a summery flavor about
It and the hreezes were balmy. We Ike
90 think of spring as the season OF

flowers II Is the season of an seasons

too. as well as it's enjoyments.
one of the first of these is the clean

ment of Salt Lake organized and car
ried out a cleaning campaign that bore
Wondrously benetcent results In the
months that followed This year an
other such campaign is 20 be inaugu-
rated. Preparations for it are now be-
Ing made. Inspectors are TO be sent
throughout the city carrying a warning
that foul places must be made clean,

cumulation of winter, viii not be toll

notion Of impresslng one neighbor to
pry into the habits of another, but I'm
Eome Instances this becomes necessary.
It is not enough to see that your own
premises are clean. You must also see
that the premises OF your neighbOrs

that the whole city must be put through
