ROOSEVELT LECTURES INDIANS.

president ROOSEVELT is at
L least impartial with his lectures.
He administers rebukes to United
States senators. to generals who have
grown gray in the service Of their coun-
try. TO high officials in government de-
partments and to casual visitors with
equal gusto. His latest victims were
some Sioux Indians who strayed onto
the White House reservation Wednes-
day They went merely to gaze upon
the countenance Of the big paIeface
chief and to say How in the more or
less friendly name Of their tribe.
Before they could get away they
were treated TO a dissertation on the
evils Of horse racing and gambling and
the beauties of agricultural pursuits.
An account says the Indians bore up
with their usual stoicism. No matter
how much you pain an Indian, you
know, ne never lets you know it. Not
groan escaped the red men as the
president proceeded, and when he fin
ished the Indians walked out smiling.
When we think how much physical en-
durance was behind those smiles we
cannot but admire the courage Of the
Indians
They viii go back to their reserva-
ton with the words Of Roosevelt ring
ing I'm their ears-and they will devote
as much time to gambling and horse
racing, and as little to agriculture as
ever they did We thought President
Roosevelt had lived long enough in the
west 10 know that an Indian is about
as susceptible TO reason as an army
mule. And maybe he does know it.
Maybe he had had that lecture bottled
up for long time and had 10 work il
of on somebody or burst. The Indians
gave him his opportunity.
Understand, now, we don't question
the soundness of the advice President
Roosevelt gave those Indians. Gam

wrong, but the president must be hard

ENFORCE SEWER ORDINANCE.

DY THE TERMS of a resolution
u passed by the council Wednesday
night at the suggestion of Councilman
r. r. Black, Health Officer Wilcox was
instructed TO notify all property own
ers within the sewer district to connect
their property at once with the sewers.
The wisdom of this instruction can
hardly be questioned. 1t is high
time for every residence that can be-
connected with a sewer to be connect
ed. That is what the sewers were put
in for. And if there is any unconnect-
ed business property the owner or agent
should be notified at once.
The new health ordinance provides
that cit shall be unlawful for the own
er Of any residence, factory, mill.
warehouse, store, Office or other build
ing, or his agent or agents, or other
person having charge Of or receiving
rents for said property, said property
being located on any street or alley
along the line of any sewer, to neglect
or refuse for a period of twenty days,
after notice from the board Of health,
to connect any water closet, bath tub.
sink or basin in or upon such property
with such sewer"
The penalty for failure to comply
with this provision is a fine of not to
exceed S100 or Imprisonment for not to
exceed 100 days, or both fine and i'm
prisOnment With such an ordinance
on the books it is astonishing that
there are 50 few sewer connections in
Salt Lake City. The records show only
1850 such connections. There should
be approximately 5000 of them. Backed
by the city council and by public SEN
timent the health officer should expert
ence no difficulty in securing the en-
forcement of the law.
Leaving out Of consideration the ben
eft that would accrue to the public
health az a result of compelling sewer
connections. the action will be bene-
fetal financially TO the property own
ers. As business men and women they
should see that it costs less in the long
run to connect with a sewer than to
dig and maintain filthy, disease breed
ing 'cesspools. These cesspools must be
cleaned out every little while at an ex-
pense Of Sl5 or $50 each time. A sewer
connection costs something like 500,
and when it is finished and paid for
there is an end Of the matter. The ac-
tual value Of the property is increased
more than the cost of thelconnection
In the matter of health too much can
not be said. The $3.50 connections that
are to be insisted upon viii mean the
abolition OF $3.50 foul cesspools The
health of the community viii be i'm
proved and the fight Of the health au-
thorities for the suppression of conta-
giOn will be aided immeasurably. The
delinquents are to have no choice, and
they should have no choice. They must
make their connections or be prose-
cuted. The good work cannot be start
ed too quickly.

.sLAe EoR STREET woak.

THE PROPOSITION by President
Hewlett of the city council to have
the city improve State street. from
Fourth South street to the city limits
AT Tenth South street. by using smell
ter Stag in lieu of other road-bufIding
materials Is Well worth looking into.
Stag roads, even in salt Lake county,
are not an experiment. They have been
Installed at several points by the eoun-
~ commissioners and, after several
years of hard wear they are in first
class condition. The prospects are that
they viii continue in good shape for
many years.
Those who have been over the road
from Tenth South street to Murray
say it IS immeasurabIy superior-to the
street from Tenth South to Fourth
South, where the paved district begins.
Farmers south of Tenth South say they
would very much rather go to Murray
10 do their trading and dispose of their
produce than to come to Salt Lake. The
difference in price between the two
places Is more than Offset by the strug-
gle involved in getting a team and a
/ loaded wagon through the mud of a
city street.
IT has been said. and with truth. un-
fortunately, that other city streets are
in as bad condition as the section Of
state street TO which reference has been
made. But a beginning must be made
somewhere. State street Is one Of the
citys most important thoroughfares
in that it affords ingress, when in good
condition, TO more county dwellers than
any other street in Salt Lake. That il
is all but impossible for two or three
months in every year is altogether to
the city's discredit
Figures have been obtained that show
that the cost of spreading Stag over the
muddy six blocks Of State street would
be between $4,000 and s.. 1000. This in
cludes the covering of the Stag with
gravel to make it more springy. So
constructed, the street will be as we'll
suited for traffic in February and
March as in July and August. An in
vestigatiOn into this question can do
no harm and it may result in doing
away with some burdensOme conditions.

COL CoDV's TRoUsLEs.

! COLONEL WILLIAM F. CODY,
- known to the country as Buffalo
BILL" is not likely 10 win much SYM
pathy in the west in his efforts to Sc
cure a divorce from the wife of his
youth. Report has it that Cody has
been going a fast pace for a number of
years and that he desires to travel
/ still more rapidly. although ne has
! reached an age when the pace a man
goes tells on him. One of the grounds
! on which he seeks the divorce is an
alleged attempt by his wife TO poison
him.
According to Codys own story this
attempt was made three years ago. He
declares that the only reason mis- wife
did not succeed in causing his death
was that she gave him too much poi
son. Now the feature of this state
ment that strikes us as singular is that
Cody waited so long a time before in
stituting his action for divorce. If the.
ordinary husband even vaguely sus-
pected his wife of a desire 10 poison
him he wouldn't live with her another
day. And yet Cody continues to live
with the woman for three years.
He may attempt to justify this on
the ground that he is fond OF excite
ment. accustomed to taking his life in
his hands and eheerily venturing into
the jaws of death. But three years of
that sort Of thing, three years Of stand
ing on a key Of gunpOwder. as it We're,
while some reckless Individual waved
lighted candle about it, would over
strain even Colonel Cody's widely adj
vertised Iron nerve" We are inclined
to think he has the iron nerve. all
right. but its manifestation consists
chiefly in this poison accusation against
his wife.
Another feature OF Cody's testimony
is the statement that his wife refused
TO receive and entertain guests he took
to their home at North Platte, Neb.
knowing Colonel Cody's penchant for
fast company as some people in the
west know it, it is not surprising that
a decent woman, such as all accounts
indicate Mrs. Cody to be, should refuse
to extend any hospitality to certain
friends Of her husband. The home is
peculiarly the domain Of the wife.
If the husband must entertain friends
whose character is open to question, he
should entertain them away from home.
Mrs. Cody had a perfect right to re-
fuse 70 entertain-them if they were OBJ |
jectionable to her. and Cody had no
right to make her conduct the basis Of /
a divorce suit.

WAsHTUCNA PROJECT DEAD.
Reclamation Department Holds Back
on Big Irrigation Scheme.

A special from Washington to Spo-
kane, in regard to the Washtucna ir-
rigation project, says:
Acting Chief Engineer Davis of the
reclamation service today ventured
an opinion that If the O. r. & n.
railroad company did not cooperate
with the department on the Palouse
project that project would be aban-
doned.
Mr.. Davis said moving and relay
ing of tracks at the Washtucna coulee
would cost over 5000, 900, and that to
his mind this figure was prohibitory.
He admitted, however, that the mat
ter of authorization of the work
rested with Secretary Hitchcock, and
added that this was merely his pri-
vate opinion on the controversy.
He is in favor of having the o. r,
G. n. bear its just proportion of the
expense that would be incurred by
the removal of tracks for a reservoir
site, as the company would be a
great beneficiary after the project
was completed.
Engineer Savage's report on the
Palouse project is now on Secretary
Hitchcock's desk. but the official
when approached further than to say
the matter will be taken up shortly
refused to discuss the report and the
accompanying observations of the
chief engineer.
