NO FUSION.

The decision of the local Democrats
to run a straight ticket. in the city
campaign this fall was a foregone con-
clusiou. So far no Democrat has sug-
sesJed any other course. and the man
who would urge fusion might properly
be suspected Of Interior motives.
This falls campaign viii be waged
Oh "a single issue: the policy of public
Improvement versus the policy Of OBJ
s4uction, a greater Salt Lake against
a retrOgade Salt Lake, and on that is
sue the people will have no difficulty
in determining which policy they want
for the next two years.
20 discuss fusion or partisan
alliance with other forces under any
guiSe, would be as foolish as il is un-'
necessary. The present Democratic
administration has made more public
Improvements. has done more toward
solving the great municipal problems,
and has handled the public business

been attained by any city government

the campaign with u straight ticket on
this record with every confidence that
tie administration viii be indorsed and
It's policy continued for another term.

nEPEW FAILS TO EXPLAIN.

Senator DepeW has written TO Presi-
dent Morton, and President Morton has
published, letter explaining the loan
OF $3.50, COZ by the Equitable Life COM
pany on property belonging to the De-
pew Improvement company. The
money, by the way, has been paid,
which will be a source OF satisfaction
10 the EQuitable's policy holders. We
wish we could say that Senator De-
pew's explanation was equally salts
Factory. The fact, though, is that it is
not complete.
The senator says that the money was
loaned IN 1885 on property valued by
experts at tSS30O0. II the real estate
was really worth this money the loan
was not a bad one being about t~o-
thirds of the appraised value Of the
ground. But. according to Senator De-
pew's own statement, in 1901 came
period Of depression. Prices went down
and finally they reached such a point
that the property covered by the $780,,
coo mortgage was worth not TO exceed
s150.OOO
Nevertheless, there is no record OF
en- effort by the Equitable company TO
better secure this loan. Senator Depew
was a director in the Equitable and
the holder of a 100000 interest in the
Depew improvement company. Surely
Senator Depew does not expect the
public 10 believe that his connection
with both companies had nothing to do
with the Equitables extreme kindness
IN the matter of the Improvement COM
pany loan. The truth is that if it had
not been for Depew's position more
security would have been required or
the Improvement people would have
been forced into bankruptcy.
For any other pretense 10 be made
would be TO charge the Equitable off,
GERS with the grossest carelessness in
the conduct Of their business. Suppose
a New York bank has loaned money
on a certain stock The stock at the
time the loan is made is worth In
tyinsically much more than the amount
OF the obligation. But a panic descends

rest until its quoted value is below the
amount Of the loan.
Does the bank quietly wait for the
market 10 recover? Cedtainly not. 1t
calls on the borrower for more collat-
eral and if it is not forthcoming imme-
diately he is closed out. That's the way
careful men transact business and IL is
the way the Equitable business should
have been transacted. Mr.. Depew's
explanation will serve to confirm the
public in the belief that there was
something rotten about that loan. The
public will believe. too. that if the lid
had not been lifted from the Eauit-
able mess the Improvement company S
indebtedness would have been carried
for an INDEFINITE period.

nRIsINe PURCHASING AGENTS.

A law providing for a fine or inn
prisonment OF those who bride or at
tempt to bride purchasing agents went
into effect in New York yesterday. The
statute applies 60 servants who Duy
supplies for families, to buyers. for mer-
chants and TO all other individuals who
disburse money that is not their own.
The condition that makes such a law
necessary is altogether deplorable. The
passage of the law shows that this
particular form of graft has assumed
the proportions of a public evil,
It is a well known fact that many
buyers for business houses accept
brides in the form of gratuities and
presents" from those from whom they
purchase goods. ANY travelling sales
man Of experience will tell you that he
has met this form of CRATER Some
salesmen resist the temptation to bride.
and often they miss chances to sell
heavy bills Of goods, but they have
the satisfaction of knowing that their
hands are clean.
In some houses IL is an o1en secret
that the surest way to make the buyer
look with favor upon the travelling
mans offerings is TO make friends with
the buyer by giving him money or
something of value The quality of
the goods is not considered: there is
no such thing as honest competition.
The buyer buys because he is paid
by a particular house to buy from that
house. The interests of his employer
are not considered a. all. The dis
honest buyer knows that the amount
Of his bride is added To the cost Of
the goods.
This may not be done in actual cash
always. but il is ACCOMPLISHED By
cheapening the product with inferior
materials for which q first-class I'rice
is paid by the merchant. And ia the
end the public suffers. for the public
in the end does the paying. People
are either required to pay more FOR
their goods or they get an inferior
article. This is the final analysts.
The New York legislature hopes 10
stop the practice by imposing fine
of from so 20 $500 or Imprisonment fur
a year, or both fine and Imprisonment
on the bride giver as we'll as one the
receiver. The Law is good in theory
and If it car be enforced other states
viii doubles copy it into Their statute
books.

NEW GROUND BROKEN.

We had thought the limit OF ignorance
has been reached by our Adullamite
contemporary. but it breaks new
ground every day. For instance, it said
yesterday:
The present city administration does
not favor the Liberty park proposition,
because 10 acquire the water there would
need only a small amount of money and
there is q million TO spend. The first con-
sheraton is 10 spend the money.
To this end city officials have decided
luon the East Jordan canal as a prOpO-
siLiOn that needs the money. Has the
mayor Investigated the quality of water
that flows through the canal as thor
oughly as that which bubbles and
sparkles from the artesian wells? The
answer must be IN the negative, because
the canal water is pronounced unfit Tor
culinary purposes by an expert on the
uIICh.
Let us turn away our faces. for
TINS amounts almost TO indecent ex-
Iosure of ignorance. 1t has never oc-
CURED 10 anybody except our unfor-
Iuuate suburban contemporary that
The water from the East Jordan canal
would be turned into the mains of Salt
chase Of stock in the canal no such
idea had entered, for the water is GER
tainly unfit for culinary purposes.
The only thought was that the newly
acquired water would be used for eX-
change purposes, the city giving the
the canal water for Big Cottonwood
water. The East Jordan canal water is
tit only for irrigation purposes, and il
has always been used +, r that and
for that alone. 1t is just as good for
irrigation as Big Cottonwood water.
which is pure and potable.
BY the way. a considerable quantity
OF water is going to waste in the neigh
borhood OF Beck's Hot Springs. We
ale daily looking for proposition from
, our contemporary TO pump that into
the citys mains. II certainly could not
be more absurd than some Of the other
theories it is advocating.

TYPHOID AND YELLOW FEVER.

Writing to Il Philadelphia paper a
resident of that city makes a COM
parison between yellow fever and
typhoid. He shows that since the first
day OF the present year 4,57S cases of
typhoid fever have been reported in
Philadelphia, with asa deaths, a NOR
tally of very close to ten per cent.
In the same period there were 1903
cases of yellow fever in New Orleans
and PA deaths, the death rate being
a little more than thirteen per cent.
In Philadelphia there is typhoid
fever all the year round. In New
Orleans, on the rare occasions when
there is a yellow fever epidemic, it
ends with the first heavy frost. Both
diseases are regarded as absolutely
preventable, yet a thousand times
more excitement is caused b. an out
break of yellow fever than by a ty-
phoid epidemic, and a thousand times
as many precautions are taken. The
correspondent wants to know how to
account for this condition of affairs.
II Is ulHltull 10 account IOI IL ly-
phoid is only a little less fatal than
yellow fever. 1t costs the people of
the United States millions of dollars
every year. Nevertheless they seem
to take typhoid for granted. Feeble
precautionary measures are adopted,
warnings are sent out by boards Of
health, but people generally pay no
attention to them. 1t is a curious
paradox in American life that we
should grow SO excited over an
imaginary danger and face real
danger with all the fatalism of a
Turk.

10 Iiin Liking For Salt mn Acquired

VT INHtct
Some men who were cnmpIng in the
Adirondacks several years ago OH
breaking camp IN the autumn left mn
old tub which was saturated with
salt brine. On returning to the same
camp the next year they found that
the tub had been gnnwed until little of
1t was left. They were not long in find
Ing out what animal had done the
work. for the camp was overrun with
Canadian porcupines. At night they
became such nuisance that the camp.
ers were obliged to kill them to protect
their property. The handle Of n paddle
was gnawcd half through.
The explanation OF their presence in
such numbers during that year. when
they had not been noticeably abundant
In the previous year, is that they had
made rendezvous OF the camp. being
attracted by the old brine tub. On
this they Toasted nil winter and for
that reason were greatly pleased with
