committee that has had charge of the
matter shows that Judge Swayne.
while the Jacksonville, Tampa and Key
West railway was in the hands of a
receiver appointed by himself, allowed
the receiver to loan him a private car
fully stocked with provisions of every
character and manned by a crew that
was paid by the company. In this car
Judge Swayne Travelled in state from
Guyencourt to Jacksonville. Later he
used the same car on trip from
Florida to California with a party of
friends.
Now it may be said that in accept
ing and using car at the expense Of a
railroad company Judge Swayne but
followed an example set by President
Roosevelt, who had not only car. but
a special train with all manner of lux
rrious appointments, on more than
one occasion. However, what is pro-
per for president may be very i'm
Proper for a United States Judge. The
president does wrong, in our judg-
nent, when he accepts great favors
from railroad companies, but he at
least does not pass directly on rail-
load cases. as does a judge. The pres
ident also may argue to himself that
the advertisement he gives the rail-
road is worth the cost Of the train.
Judge Swayne is accused. further.
Of charging SO per day for expenses
which he claims were actually incurred
while away from his home on govern
ment business There are witnesses
who swear that, as a matter of fact,
Judge swayne's expenses were con-
siderably less than $40 a day The rest
Of the account may be put down by
the ugly but plain description of
graft
If the judiciary OF the United States
is to be continued at the high stand
ard all of US would like to see main
tanned, the Judge Swaynes must get
off the bench and stay Oft, The people
can have no confidence in Judge
that is guilty of dishonorabie prac-
tees, they can have no respect for
judges who trail their ermine in the
filth Of graft.

PASSING OF "DoC" FAUST.

Doc) Faust died peacefully in his bed
in q Los Angeles motel the other day.
so well was Doc" Faust known that
il seems almost waste Of time to
commend now that ne has crossed the
great divide, his many virtues.
His CHEEKY smile, his laughing blue
eyes. his merry good humor on all
occasions will be sadly missed in Utah,
where the greater part of his life was
spent. Doc" Faust was "A pioneer Of
the pioneers. He belonged to a type
that has ali but vanished from the
west. for a new west has grown up
since he was born. It is difficult now
10 move about in any part of the west
without metaphoricalIy rubbing elbows
with somebody. In DOC" Faust's day
hundreds Of miles stretched. between
cabin 90 cabin OF post to post.
There is little room now for the pio-
rcer. as the word was understood in
other days. There is no longer a will

themselves to live for weeks and
months and years as they once did.

Faust ioved the life of the Wild. When
ne heard the cali he answered. but he
was not among those who could not be
happy with their kind.
Dec" Faust saw the west grow up.
he saw the pony express suppiant the
numbering stage coach. He saw the
express give way in its turn TO the
railroad train and then the telegraph
and the telephone. He saw thriving
cities grow up in the land that he once
knew as a trackless waste. He saw
new men come in and take the places
OF the pioneers. putting their shoulders
10 the wheels and pushing with might
and main for the upbuilding Of the
west
And through it ali doc" Faust lived
aiways in the todays and the tomor-
rows. never I'm the yesterdays. He had
his ups and his downs, his good for
,une and his bad. but he never became
embittered and old age found him with
a heart and a disposition a boy might
envy. God rest his soul. May his
rest be peaceful and his reward is
sure.

The GOOD SNOW.

A T LAST, THE SNOW. Thanks, Mr..
"A Weather Man, thanks.
The storm that began yesterday aft
ernoOn was just the identical thing we
needed in this part of the earth. The
beautiful weather was mighty fine
while it lasted. Nobody even in Utah,
ever saw anything finer. Perfect day
succeeded perfect day. They were as
much alike and as much a Joy as a
great string of fawless jewels. But it
is possible TO tire even of Jewels and
of sunshineA Rain and snow are nee
essary TO life and happiness in this
intermouhtain land. We must have
them or we perish. metaphoricaly if
not literally.
The storm Of yesterday and last
night WAS worth many thousands of
dollars to the Salt Lake valley. The
snow fell so gently that it will pack
nicely in the hills until it is needed
Cor the water supply next summer.
1t covered the valley lands that were
thick with dust and gave them a store
of moisture from which to draw when
the crops are put in next spring. It
caused discomfort to pedestrians, but
such inconvenience as wet feet and
damp clothing were forgotten in
thoughts of the good the snow was
doing.
The old weather, sharps tell us that
the snow that falls before Christmas
lo always the best kind of snow. It
is best because it Sits its way into
places where it wih be most available
for the water supply. The later SHOWS
add to the stock of water. true. but
they melt more easily and run away

more good storms before Christmas it
will be so much the better for the
city and state.
And a feature of the snow OF yes
terday will be the Improvement in
business. Local merchants could not
be blamed for looking somewhat gloom
lily upon the succession of fine days
They had laid in large stocks of win
ter goods and those stocks were not
being taken oat of the stores. You
can't get people TO buy winter cloth
ing when the sun shines brightly. And
You can't work them into the true
Christmas spirit without snow, either.
Now we'll all feel the Christmas
spirit enter into our beings. We are
sure now that Santa Claus will come
because he'll have snow for his sleigh
and his reindeer. And over all and
all around us are the mountains.
