MELcoME TO BUTTE.

Salt Lake is mighty glad to have
those Butte golfers as guests. whether
they succeed in taking back with them
the beautiful Leyson cup they seek or
not. They entertained the Salt Lake
team last year so royalty that IL will
be hard ever to square accounts, and
they are entitled to the freedom of the
city. the best of everything they want
except the championship cup.
Two years ago the visitors lost; last
year on their home links, they won,
so this is the rubber of the series and
every indication promises a fight for
blood, tempered only by the sizz Of the
siphon between rounds. Much as we
like the Montana men, and generous
as we'd like to be with them. that cup
ought really to stay in Salt Lake. and
IL a sporty course, a red-hot sun and
a. good team can achieve the desired
result, the Country club viii have to
provide a suitable abode for the trophy
after the tournament. OF course if the
visitors see anything else beside the
cup that they would to take away, it's
theirs without further parley; but Salt
Lake needs that cup in its business
In any event, cup or no cup, the an
nual interchange of visits between the
two cities is one of the pleasant fea-
lures of the year; and it ought to be
made a fixture for the good fellowship.
the custom OF courtesy it brings
Here's to the Butte men; may they lose
bv lust one stroke at the last hole of
the last match, without foozle, pull,
a slice or a top at any stage of the
game: may every social affair in their
honor be about three strokes better
than DOGGY and the whole visit as sat
isfactory as an all-square match played
under the record for the course.

She seemed as frivolous as a butterfly,

ERANKING ABUSES.

A particularly fragrant abuse of the
congressional ranking privilege is re-
ported by the Washington correspond
ent of the New York Herald. He tells
his paper that the franks Of Senator
Gauinger of New Hampshire and Rep
resentativc Giuett OF Massachusetts
are being used in sending through the
mails a book describing the reform
work of Rev. DR.. Wilbur f. Crafts, SUI
perintendent and treasurer of what is
known as the national reform bureau.
The book, which is styled Patriotic
Studies" purports to be a part of the
Congressional Record. 1t comprises
two documents, the printing of which
was authorized through resolutions Of
fered by Senators GaIlinger and Well
ington. There are 2SS pages in the book
and it weighs a trifie more than seven
teen ounces. If postage were paid on
it it would cost . cents to send one vol
ume through the mails. AS 10000 Of
them are said to be in transit it be-
comes clear that the government is be-
ing defrauded out Of postage TO the ex-
tent of Sc, $50.
This is only the beginning. Accom-
panying each book is a franked en-
velope in which persons receiving it are
requested to remit 25 cents to the re-
form bureau for the good of the
cause or to return the volume. A con-
siderable proportion of the books will
doubtless be returned, thus defrauding
the government out OF postage both
ways. And if the money is sent the
government viii be defrauded out of 2
cents in each instance. So the aggre-
gate will be a considerable sum Of
money. all for some indefinite purpose.
If the facts are as stated by the Her
aid correspondent it would seem that
a gross fraud is being perpetrated on
the government. There is no excuse for
burdening the nation with the agency
for anybody's book. 1t would be more
honest in the promoters IL they would
ask congress to appropriate a sum of
money for their special benefit Abuses
of the franking. privilege are altogether
too numerous. They are largely re-
sponsible for the annual hiatus between
the postal revenues end receipts.
Some day congress is going to contain
enough honorable men to bring about
much needed reform in this particular
line.

The PAVING INCIDENT.

In the mu0dle incident to the conflict
or authority between the city engi-
neer's Office and Colonel Wall as chair
man OF the board OF public works. the
ordinary citizen stands little show of
knowing exactly what the fuss is all
about. He knows that Colonel Wall
prbitrsrily changed specifications which
he agreed to when the contract for
Savtng was let. and that the change
was made without authority of the
city council or agreement with the city
engineer. He knows also that the
changes made have left a regular cam
els hump in the finest residence street
Of Salt Lake, an unsightIy excrescence
from an engineering standpoint and an
offense to the eye if aesthetics are con-
sidered.
1t is explained that the old grades
established at special points on the
street for the benefit of some prom
1nent citizens who had pull. make a
consistent grade throughout impossi-
Die; and that the hump is a concession
TO save damage suits from irate prop
erty owners. The average citizen win
have his doubts as to the value of such
for the time being, but he will have no
doubt whatever as to the necessity for
some sort of agreement that will bring
the city departments into harmony and
give the city engineer power to carry
out contracts according to the specifi-
cations when they are once signed by
the proper authorities. a change in
specifications means a chance for tex
tras" by the contractor; and no con-
tractor ever did business who did not
welcome extras as an opportunity to
swell his profits.
The net result Of the Brigham street
business is, Of course, good To get the
street paved is worth everything, even
with the rows and ne extras, but it is
also worth something to get the work
done with as little friction as possible.
The bare fact that there can be a ques-
ton of authority shows that something
in the system of administration needs
repair 50 there will be only one head to
public work, and that one head ought
to be the city engineer acting under
authority OF the city council.
The dispute between the board of
public works and the city engineers
Office is as old as the law under which
work is done; it rambied all along,
through the Kelsey regime, carried
over into the Snow management and
has been a regular feature of the
Riter-WaI programme. Happily, it
seems to be adjusted in working shape
for the present, but move ought TO
be made for a change in the code which
shall centralize authority as well as
responsibility. Not until then win
there be possibility of action without
differences OF opinion and conflicts of
authority.

try is TO be saved from the long train

Fox's CONCLUSION.

Professor Andrew N, Fox of the chair
Of Biblical languages in the Chicago
Theological seminary has been dis
missed because he sent to John ID.
Rockefeller telegram asking the oil
magnate to contribute to that institu-
ton. In the telegram Professor FoX
assured Mr.. Rockefeller that any check
he chose to send would be accepted AT
it's face value and that no questions
would be asked. The executive com
mittee of the seminary failed to agree
with Professor Fox on this point. Con-
sequently he was ousted.
In defense of his position, Professor
Fox is reported as saying:
III money. RoclsefeIleF's or anyone's
else, can be said to be tainted. then the
results which are obtained from that
money must be tainted as well /. for
instance, am a graduate of the Univer-
sity of Chicago. If Rockefeller's money
is tainted, that institution Is tainted.
My education. my scholarship, my
teaching ability-obtained through
tainted money-are tainted, too. There
fore I have been imDarting tainted
knowledge in the years L have been
professor at the Chicago Theological
seminary. and the scores of students
who have learned from me have be-
come tainted in turn.
Those students now are acting as
ministers throughout the United States.
and wherever they go they spread the
original, enduring faint of RockefeI-
ler's money. On this reasoning the
whole nation soon win be tainted. Yet
this is a logical deduction from the the
Dry of tainted money. Does not the
sO-called tainted money question thus
become an absurd proposition"
Professor Fox evidently attempted a
reductio ad absurdurn- But he failed.
Thoughtful people are compelled to adj
NIT that the professors sarcasm is not
sarcasm at all, but plain truth His ac-
ton in teIegraphing Mr.. Rockefeller for
money shows that he is tainted. And
if he has been preaching that sort of
doctrine to his students, If they have
accepted it as the true gospel and have
gone out into the world to act upon it.
they, too, are tainted.
We cannot agree with Professor Fox
that the whole nation soon will be
tainted We have much more faith in
American citizenship than an acquies-
cence in that doctrine would signify.
The opposition that has arisen against
corner the educational institutions of
the land is sufficient evidence that he
will not be permitted to do so.

THE CHINESE BOYCOTT.

Il is more than suspicious that the
effort to scare the American govern
ment by threats of commercial boycott
into relaxation of the Chinese exclu-
sion act originates with the notorious
Six Companies, whose enormous wealth
is based on the importation of coolies
into this country. No more dangerous
menace TO American civilization exist
ed than the horde of low-caste Chinese
who were brought into the United
states by these companies in the palmy
DAYS when no law against their opera
tons was in force. No more offensive
