MUST NAME GOOD MEN

n FEW, \ VERY FEW, gentlemen of
A shady reputation and shadier char
sCter have conceived the notion that
this is their year to be nominated for
office by the approaching county Dem
ooratic convention. This idea would
not have dawned upon them IL candi-
dacy involved any sacrifice on their
part or if there seemed any possibility
of Democratic defeat
If The Herald has an accurate view
of the situation the aforesaid aspirants
have miscued, SO to speak. This is not
q good year for men OF shady reputa-
ton in politics, Democratic politics.
particularly. It happens TO be a pres
jdenti2l year when voters are supposed
10 accept anything from a yellow dog
to backlog as candidate, but that is
no reason why the Democratic ticket
should be imperiled by the nomination
of the heelers who have lived hereto
fore on the politicians of both parties,
selling their peculiar talents to either
as occasion offered, and giving loyal
~ to no one, either for cash or decen-
ey's sake.
The most casual observer must see
that party ties have not been as loose
an ten years as they are today in Utah;
that the independent vote is going to
be very large. cOmpactly organized and
extremely effective. Safety and sue
cess for the Democratic state ticket lie
in the nomination OF first-class men all
down the line from legislative NOM
inees to the last of the county Offices in
every county.
Here in salt Lake City and county.
the Democracy has every prospect Of
success. Its opponents are divided: the
new American party viii draw heavily
from their ranks and with good. clean,
representative men on the list for leg
islative and county Offices, it should be
an easy victory for the Democrats. But
the nomination Of a single Objectionable
character, CRATER or professional
political hold would ALLEVIATE enough
votes to imperil the whole state, legls-
lative and county ticket. The Herald
has in mind one or two candidates for
nomination who could not get the sup
pert of any decent man or newspaper:
and who would most certainly be sin
gled out for defeat il the convention
were foolish enough to nominate them
More than that. The Herald is advised
OF at least two candidates who ought to
be, and would be. opposed from the
start by this paper, if there were
enough Of their kind in a Democratic
convention to make their nomination
possible.
Fortunately for the party. the men
who have been named on the state
ticket and as managers of the CAM
paign realize the Importance of hav-
ing first-class associates for the coun-
" ticket. Let them urge the candi-
dacy of representative citizens and see
that the iheompetents and blacklegs
are relegated TO the rear where they
belong.

There Is also some reason for believ-

The BRIGHAM sraesr PAVING.

- Is VERY MUCH to be hoped that
there VIII be no further delay in
paving Brigham street. The council ar
its last meeting Monday night adopted
resolution authorizing the work. but
stipuiating that property holders in the
( section where one side of the street is
10 be raised and the other lowered,
must sign an agreement releasing the
city from any damages that may be
caused to their holdings It is said that
there may be some difficulty in secur-
ing all of the releases desired. We
trust this is not true.
The paving of Brigham street is a
work that has long been earnestly de-
sired. not only by citizens generally but
by large proportion Of the residents
most Interested. Brigham street is Salt
Lakes show thOroughfare. 1t contains
more handsome residences than any
other street in the city, more than ALI
the others combined. When visitors ask
to see the best residence street they
are taken without hesitation out on
Brigham street
And. yet, during several months in
every year, Brigham street is all but
impossible. Many a country road in
this state affords better footing for
horses. a more solid foundation for car
riages and automobiles than Brigham
street in February, March and April.
and often until late in May. There are
times, indeed, when there seems to be
no bottom TO the Brigham street mud
The paving OF this thoroughfare would
make it indeed a show street. And the
value OF the property along it would be
increased at least I'M proportion to the
cost of the work.
For something like two years or
more the question of paving Brigham
street has been in process of agitation
The objections Of comparatively few
property owners have thus far blocked
this most desirable Improvement No
further delay should be tolerated, il it
is in any way possible to prevent it, 1t
is entirely probable that we will have
two months or more of weather suita-
bic for this sort of work. The time TO
let the contract is now. Now is the
time to do the paving

HUMANE BULLETS.

a n INTERESTING FEATURE Of the
II Russo-Japsnese war. and one that
has not received the attention it de-
serves, is the character Of the bullets
Heing used by both sides. Instead of
the old-fashioned leaden missile that
tears and skaters and brushes. the
Russians and the Japanese are using a
ban Of small caIibre that puts man
out of commission but does not cause
him weeks Of suffering, with death,
perhaps, as the end of it.
OF course. when one of the little bull
let's passes through soldiers head or
his heart it kills him. But wounds that
are ordinarily considered surely fatal
have healed time and again and the
men who sustained them have returned
10 the firing line. An English war cor
respondent cites Numerous examples OF
this character. One private was shot
through both lungs. Within three
weeks he was back on the firing line.
Another suffered a puncture of the
liver. He, too. has rejoined his COM
psny.
a soldier named Nikovitch was shot
While lying behind the entertainments
at Wafangkow. The bullet cut Though
his shoulder between the collar bone
and the shoulder blade, passed through
his lungs. penetrated the diaphragm
and the abdomen. damaged the intes-
tines and went out The soldier was a
fortnight under treatment and is now
or the waIpath once more" Many
cases of abdominal wounds which are
officially regarded as fatal, are being
cured.
These apparently miraculous recover7
les are attributed to the size OF the
bullets and the velocity with which
they are fired. OId-fashioned bullets
spread after they entered the body and.
-is they passed entirely through. the
hole at the exit was much larger than
the hole at the entrance. The bullets
were much larger. too. some OF them
weighing as much as an ounce They
were meant to kill or TO permanently
disable
War is-always horrible. Under any
circumstances it is a thing to be de-
plored and avoided. But anything
tending 10 make war more humane
should be Welcomed by all the nations
OF the earth. The small bullet and The
high power cartridge have come, let us
hope, 10 stay.
