necessary in the erection of a thoroughly
flreproof stone building
In the spring of 1874 the library building
being well along towards completion, the
board decided to elect a librarian in order
that the books might be purchased and
prepared for circulation, to be in readiness
when the building was opened to the pub
lie. Miss Jane II. Abbott, an experienced
librarian, was chosen for the position and
asked to assume her duties the first of
June. At the same time the assistant IL
brarian, Mrs. Grace Pinnell was elected.

the librarian.
The Library board having at its disposal
about $500. which had accrued from the
tax levied under the state law for tho
maintenance of public libraries selected
books to that amount and the work OF
preparing them for the shelves was at
once begun.
All this tinE the library board. as an
pointed by Mayor Kelly, had remained

TOO LITTLE INTEREST.

ONLY A LITTLE MORE than half
" as many votes were cast at the
school election on Wednesday as were
cast at the general election on last
month. Yet the school election affects
a great many Salt I1akers much more
vitality than dA the general election.
We are led to the conclusion that the
lack Of interest shown by citizens in
their schools is nothing short Of GRIM
inal
1t IS entirely probable that the men
who were elected on Wednesday would
have been elected If a fun vote had
been cast. They are. with not more
than two exceptions, competent men.
and the schools viii be reasonably safe
In their hands. That. however. is be-
side the' question. The great feature
OF the election is the comparatively
small number of votes cast.
There is no good reason why as many
votes should not be cast at a school
election as az a general election. on
the contrary, there are reasons why
more votes should be cast at school
elections. Nothing is more important
10 the welfare OF city than its schools.
Good schools are the best advertise
ment a city can have. Bad schools will
do as much to keep people away from
q city as any single factor. Intending
citizens, other things being equal. will
settle in that city which has the best
schools.
The Salt Lake public schools have
been among the best in the country.
They have had at their head men of
countrywide reputation as school SUI
perintendents. 1t will not do to take
a backward step, and the backward
step is always possible when the vot-
ers do not take enough interest I'm
theirs schools TO turn out and. vote for
candidates for the board of education.

AIMED AT The SOUTH.

REFoRE MANY DAYS it is probable
~ that the Republicans in congress
Ylh be given an opportunity to show
whether they really want all the vot-
ers Of the country represented in the
body of national lawmakers or wheth-
er they merely want to cut down the
Democratic representation. Senator
Plat of New York introduced on We'd
nesday bill which, if passed. win cut
down the representation Of eleven
southern states by nineteen seats.
This because very few negroes are per-
mitted to vote in those states.
y statement accompanying the bill
says il is framed upon the lowest lin
itation possible and treats as excluded

sro citizen over p years of age

hterate under the 1900 census tables.
published since the apportionment act
Of jan l6, 1901" Thus an appearance
of fairness is given to the bill. That
1t IS not fair, though. is evidenced by
the fact that Massachusetts is not in
elnded.
Massachusetts has an educational
Qualification that would prevent nine
out of ten OF the southern negroes from
voting 1t does. as a matter of fact.
exclude thousands Of otherwise eli
gible whites in Massachusetts from the
privilege Of voting. Massachuttes is
not entitled, on the basis of the Plat
BILL to as many representatives In con-
gress as she now has. OF course some
southern representative will move to
amend by including Massachusetts.
viii the Republicans accept the amend
ment? We hardly think so.
And even if the bin does pass no
very great harm viii have been done
the south. The chances are that the
measure viii be held to be uneonsti-
tutionel by the supreme court of the
United States. And if the court de-
clares it to be constitutional the south
will not suffer greatly. For. such a
bill if constitutional viii be rec
ognition of the disfranchisement of the
negroes and not a single black will
ever be permitted TO vote in any of the
states affected.
No less an authority than Senator
Bacon of Georgia recently declared
that the south could well afford IN have
the bill enacted into law. because il
would insure to the south a govern
ment by white men FOR all times. In
exchange for such an assurance the
south could stand almost any sort OF
bill.

become acquainted with 1t. 1t would
be well were this idea carried further.
we feel assured that our theatres
win receive ample attention and that
every precaution which shall assure
safety will be taken. but there is an
other class Of buildings which should
be looked after. We are informed that
there are buildings in this city. the
upper stories OF which are used for
lodges, that do not comply with the
law. We are told that in one OF these
buildings there is but one avenue OF
escape--a narrow stairway leading up
two flights. Yet there is ample law
on the subject. and the chief Of the
Fire Department has the remedy in his
hands.
