Harry Conard has declined to accept
the assembly nomination on the Re-
publican ticket. He reached this
decision several days ago, but not
until his letter declining the honor
reached the committeeman, was his
action made public. AS result the
Republican county delegates from
this city met in the Office of the Bishop
Company, Scheuer Building, last
night, to select man to name in his
place. DR.. +. @. Henry was chosen
and his name will be presented to the
committee appointed to fill vacancies.
1t is probable that he will receive the
nomination.
After the meeting was called last
night Mr.. Conard's letter was read
and his decision not to run was accept
ed with much regret. The uncer-
tainty which has hung about the
acceptance of Mr.. Conard, had the
delegates fully prepared in case he
should not run, and when his letter
was read last night. the name OF DIR.
Henry was proposed at once. A com
mittee consisting of Ira b. lice,
Richard A. Peltier and Harry o.
Bishop was appointed to wait upon
DR.. Heury to ascertain his Willingness
to accept. The committee was appar-
emily satisfied with the interview for
it was then decided to present DR..
Henry's name to the committee to fill
vacancies. 1t has been understood
that should Mr.. Conard resign, the
local delegates could select his sue
cessor.
=. When Mr.. Conard was seen by a
News reporter, in his office In the
First National Bank, he explained his
reasons for not running.
"The letter containing my resigna-
tion was mailed Thursday night. In
the letter stated my reasons for not
wanting to remain ON the ticket. In
the first place, which is my principal
reason, do not think the bank should
be drawn into politics, and my other
reason is, If 1 should become the can
didate for assembly l could not give
the time to both that and my position
in the bank. do not feel that l can
afford to resign my position in the
bank, and try to handle both and be
successful is practically out of the
question.
DR.. Henry told News reporter that
if the nomination was offered to him,
he would accept it, He said that the
committee had waited on him last
night and told him Of their desire to
suggest his name to fill the vacancy.
He said the local delegates could only
recommend and the nomination must
come from the committee to fill
vacancies.
In conversation with the reporter
H. q. Bishop, one of the committee,
said:

BUSINESS MeM NEEDED.

MUST BE PLAIN to most citizens
who have watched the proceedings
Of the council, the school board and the
county commissioners OF this county
that something is loose in the financial
Management of public affairs here. The
county commissioners have made a
levy far in excess of their require
ments for the coming year, the council
does not know exactly how it will come
out with the levy it has made, and the
school board Is almost certain to be
short OF its needs.
Just why the commissioners should
collect more than sthey need for legi-
innate expenses has not been ex-
planned and probably viii not be except
as the money is spent The city coun-
ell seems to have accepted without
question the auditors statement of
what it viii need without any attempt
to verify his estimate or without any
personal knowledge Of the city's fnan-
cial condition. The hoard Of education
alone has some excuse for its failure to
ask enough to meet it's demands be-
cause its estimate was based on as
sessments which may or may not be
legal and must be settled in court.
The main fact, however, is that the
city, the county and the schools need
men for their management who have
had business experience enough and are
conscientious enough to manage the
public's financial affairs on a business
basis; men who viii know what they
are about all the time and will not be
dependent upon an auditor or anybody
else for their conclusions in affairs Of
such Importance as general tax levy.
Just at this turn in its developments
Salt Lake is ripe for a business mems
administration throughout its public
Offices and the politicians will be wise
if they note the demand for such men
and act accordingly.

scientists, for at least 100 years. Think
Of the gas and electric light bills that
could be saved in that time.
Say the average light bin for a house
Of three rooms is 81 a month. That is
81 q year. or 81, 200 for 100 years. six
grains of radium at S15s each come TO
trifie over $500. So plain economy
should drive US all TO get in our orders
right away before the gas and electric
light companies, foreseeing their finish.
BUY up all the radium laboratories in
the world. But we are told that ra-
dunn may sometime be used for power
as well as light.
The experts say that an ounce OF the
stuff win drive fifty horsepower auto
mobile around the world at the rate of
thirty miles an hour. Stin. at the pres
ent price. it is not likely that many
automobiles will transfer their afrec-
tons from gasoline to radium. One
can buy considerably more than enough
gasoline to run an automobile $4,000
miles for $4,000
The most important feature Of ra-
dunn, though, if the claims can be sub

London report says
"A rodent cancer of the nose. which
had required after an operation and
had been unsuccessfully treated by the
X-rays. was subjected to a short ex-
posure of radium. -Four exposures,
aggregating about an hour, were
made at intervals of few days In
three weeks the diseased part was heal
ing well. and in six weeks, after two
further exposures, the cancer disap
peared completely without leaving any
visible scar. Similar success in treat
ing an otherwise incurable cancer was
reported from Vienna last week"

TRANs-MlsslssIPPI CONGRESS.

T HE HERALD has been asked to call
L attention to the approaching meet
ing Of the Trans mississippi CONNER
cial congress at Seattle. The delegates
are scheduled to gather Aug. is and to
continue in session through Aug. q.
The scope and purposes of the organi-
cation are too well known here to need
a special explanation. The congress
has been in existence fourteen years
and has done d great work toward the
upbuilding Of the west.
To every movement calculated to fur
Their the interests of the states on this
side of the Mississippi river. this asso-
citation has always given it's cordial
support and cooperation. The coming
session, which is to be the fourteenth
annual meeting, promises to be of more
than ordinary interest. One Of the i'm
portant topics TO be discussed is the
great and rapidly growing trade Of the
west with the orient.
Papers are to be read on this subject
and, if possible, plans will be suggested
for lettering these trade conditions.
Among the other subjects on the pro-
gramme are irrigation, railroad rates,
Improvement OF harbors and water
ways, the governmental department Of
mines and mining. good roads, CONNER
Cial relations with Central and South
American republics, the beet sugar in
dustry, the encouragement of home
manufactures. statehood for the terri
tories, legislation for Alaska. isthmian
ice, preservation OF forests, postal
service and other matters.

tory may appoint ten delegates, mayors

former presidents Of the Trans DIissis-
sippf congress are ex-ohicio delegates

Rvan,s Faithful Bulldog.


The case of the bulldog belonging to
Ryan. the murdered peddler, furnishes
another instance of the known de-
votion and cOnstancy of dogs. This
animal went without food and water
for two days, remaining all that time
close beside its masters dead body.
The dog is probably the only animal
that never deserts its master Some of
the stories told of the dogs faithfulness
almost pass belief. yet it is almost i'm
possible to Overestimate the limit of a
dogs affection for its master. Ryan's
dog proved no exception to the rule.
Throughout two long days with the
sun beating fercely down upon it.
thirsty, hungry ana lonesome, and
through two long nights the animal
never left the vicinity, but steadfastly
maintained its lonely vigil beside its
dead master. No sound was heard
from the dog after the time when il is
presumed its master was slain. What
part the dog took in that matter may
never be known, but it is more than
likely the animal did its best to save
its masters life. When the mem who
discovered the body attempted to ap-
proach. they say. the animal mani
tested the most determined opposition
to their advance evidently fearing an
other injury to its master, but when
the men MADE IL cieaf tnaJ Iney were
friendly the intelligent animal well
coined them with happy short barks
and many waggings of its tail. What
passed through the dogs brain during
those long hours when it stood guard
alone over its murdered master none
will ever know, but IL would be inter-
esting TO learn. The most striking man
Hesitation of the dogs love for Ryan,
however, was its constant presence be-
side his body. So far as known the
animal never left his side until the
body was found by the smeltermen.
Moreover. the dog was found tied 70 a
wheel OF the wagon and could not have
left if il had wanted TO.

THE CABLE DISPATCHES an
nCunce another stea in the pro-
\ ceedings of the American Mexican
monetary commission in Berlin which
/ settles the purpose of the mission
abroad and the intent of the govern
ments most interested. A statement
given to the Associated Press by the
! American commissioners says that "a
unanimous agreement on a series Of
resolutions was reached regarding a
uniform monetary system for China on
a gold basis with silver circulation.
The resolution declares it would be de-
sirable both fer China and the gold

dispatch is obscure, il is inferred that
the recommendation to purchase reg
ularly" is with a view to having fixed
amounts purchased annually so as to
make a stable market for silver.
Evidently the governments of the
/ United States and Mexico think this an
opportune time to achieve a Worldwide
agreement to abandon silver altogethar
as basic currency and relegate its use
to subsidiary coinage altogether.
If China, the greatest silver-u<.ng
nation, can be induced or compelled to
agree to such a proposition. the money

AN EXPENSIVE METAL.

WITH RADIUM at $4,000 an ounce,
W a dispatch from London says the
supply is far from equal to the demand.
At that rate not many people can af-
ford to buy Il, but. although Germany
and France are manufacturing IL sue
cessfuliy, they cannot begin 10 fiji the
orders that are pouring in. 1t must
not be understood. however, that these
purchasers want radium by the pound,
or even by the ounce. Most of them
are content with q very small fraction
of an ounce. say a few grains, at the
rate Of S156 per grain.
