.PETTYPEANUTP0LITICS
Republican CoUncimeh Would
Increase Salaries Where Re-
pubIicans Are effected.

Logan, Dec. 1.-THE city council met
last night and spent four or five hours in
fixing the salaries of their successors.
The Republican majority of the body and
the Republican mayor gave a disgusting
exhibition Of partisan meanness and pet
~ politics by increasing the salaries OF
Republican officials and refusing to maze
badly needed increases where Democrats
win be the incumbents.
Some time ago the council referred the
salary matter to a committee of three,
two Republicans and one Democrat. and
this committee reported a schedule of
salaries that was fair. but no sooner had
IL been presented TO the council for APP
proval than Mayor Hansen Injected him
self into the debate and practically nOti-
fled the council that unless the proposed
salary Of @. +. Keller, city attorney
elect. was cut he would veto the whole
ordinance. He obtained his way and TIE
attorneys salary was left where il now
is. despite the fact that Republican, at
torneys refused 20 run for the place be-
cause of insufficient remuneration, and
Keller, the. DEMOCRAT got it by default
Other raises were. made and agreed To

WELCOME NEWS
AT THE VATICAN
Pops Pleased Over the Outcome
in the Philippines.
yExED QUESTION SETTLED
FUTURE OF THE FRIARS RESTS
WITH ROME.

Rome, Dec. 17.-Full particulars con-
corning the agreement reached be-
tween Governor Taft and the friars,
providing for the settlement Of the
friar lands question in the Philippines
have not yet been received by the Vat
lean authorities, only a mere an
nouncement that such an agreement
had been reached having been cabied
from Manila. When the news was
brought to the Pope he seemed highly
delighted and exclaimed: 1t is the
best Christmas box ] could have had.
The news was received with equal
pleasure in all Vatican circles. one
of the highest personages Of the Nati-
can court. in conversation with the
Associated Press representatives, crys-
tallized this feeling in the following
g.OScs.
The news from the Philippines has
produced a feeling of general satisfac-
.tion not only among ecclesiastics, but
among all those who have interested
themselves in the settlement of this
most serious and difficult question. The
fact that an agreement has been
reached is considered a new demon
stTatiOn of the loyal and lofty man
neF with which the Washington gov
eminent deals with affairs respecting
the rights of the Catholic church. The
Question as TO whether the Francis
cans, Dominicans and Augustinians
shall remain in the archipelago now
rests entirely with the Holy See,
which, by its laws and traditions, is
compelled to help in safeguarding the
rights of the people as well as those
Of the ecclesiastical orders"
In all quarters Governor Taft and
Archbishop Guidi are being warmly
congratulated on their success in solv-
ing the most intricate ofS the ques-
tons entrusted to their diplomacy. 1t
is declared that both have displayed
the utmost tact and equanimity. The
excellent impression produced by Mr..
Taft during mis- sojourn in Rome in
the spring of 1902 has now been great
" increased at the Vatican. the au-
thOrities of which expect that his pres
ence in Washington as secretary Of
war viii greatly help the settlement
Of the remaining questions in the
Philippines.
