THE FRANCHISE MEETING.

T He REAL ESTATE EXCHANGE is
doing the public a service of I'M
pOrtance in calling a general meeting
for the Grand theatre tonight to pro-
test against the extension Of lighting,
power and street railway franchises for
fifty years beyond their present date OF
expiration. There should be a large at
tendance at the meeting. and it should
make an effective protest.
Municipal government in the United
States has been the source of more cor
ruption, more robbery of the public in
the guise Of grants to individuals with
out reason or compensation than any
other branch of American administra-
ton. The reason is not far to seek:
men and corporations looking for ex-
Cessive profits at the public expense.
organize their forces systematically.
work intelligenIy and 'persistently. and
too often use corruption or improper
influence to secure what they want
on the other hand the American cit
izen is too often indifferent to his civic
duty He is willing To be robbed. or
suffer himself to be imposed upon if
only he can escape the annoyance and
loss Of time required TO do his share in
the business of the city
Salt Lake has suffered from this sort
of criminal neglect in the past and it
will continue to suffer just so long as
its citizens, yourself included, fail to
take an active part in the selection of
business managers for the city, and
their supervision after they take office.
Fortunately. in this instance, the Real
Estate exchange has assumed the duty
of providing means of expression for
public sentiment on the franchise ques-
ton. 1t should have the applause and
support OF every taxpayer who recOg-
nizes public service when il is offered

WAR TO END SOON.

IN SPITE OF THE FREQUENT de-
L malls that have been made Of the
reports that Russia would soon make
overtures for peace with Japan. it now
seems certain that such overtures have
been or viii very shortly be made. The
peace party i'm Russia has been growing
stronger daily; daily the sentiment that
there has been enough death and desc
Iation and bIoodshed in Manchuria has
grown. The sentiment that the Russian
cause is hopeless has also gained
ground.
Yesterdays dispatches said that
peace within six weeks WAS well within
the range of probability. 1t is very
much to be hoped that the report is
true. The war has already cost both
nations enough, and more than enough.
Aside from the terrific sacrifice of men.
the expense of maintaining the war
cannot be borne by either Russia or
japan very much longer. though in this
respect Japan is in better shape than
her adversary
There is no possibility for Russia to
regain her lost prestige. Peace on the
best possible terms should be openly
requested And II is not at all likely

How Fiaherty Lost His Title.

Did you ever hear how 'Fightin'
Flaherty' of Butte lost his title2" in
quired a Butte man the other day. No?
Well. I'll tell you. In the first place
his name wasn't FlaheTty, but that's
close enough for present purposes He
had the reputation OF a fighting man all
right, and was chairman of a Demo-
cratic convention up there. There was
a hard scrap on in the convention and
the vote was close. with Flaherty'S :.
crowd a shade in the lead. F'laherty
was ruling the convention with hand
Of iron. During d particularly warm
passage, when a vote was about to be
taken. a man hurried to the platform
and whispered to FIaher;y d moment.
F'laheTty turned pale. called another
man to the chair and left tn II. His
crowd. thinking a bolt was IN order
strung out behind him and the other
gang won out. It turned out later that
the thing was a pUt-up job. The man
who approached Flaherty had merely
said: Mrs. FlaheTty is coming up the
steps. She says she is looking for YOU
Which way is she coming asked Fla
herty. He was told. and promptly bolt
ed out the other door. Mrs. Iaherty
was not i'm the vicinity but the circum-
stance that she had given Flahertv an
awful beating at home the day before
was enough to put him on the run az
mention of her name. The story ali
came out in a few days and Flaherty
was known no more as 'F'ightin' Fla
herty.'

MIDD|ES, OPEN UP
WITH A VICTORY
From Virginia Military Institute at
Football by a Score of
2o to o.

ANNAPOLIS. Md, Oct. THE foot
ball season in Annapolis was formally
opened this afternoon at the Naval
Academy, the midshipmen winning their
initial game from the eleven of Vir-
ginia Military Institute. of Lexington,
Va, by rolling up % points to 0.
From a few minutes after the ball was
first kicked off II could be seen that the
Midshipmen would have the better OF
the argument, and it was not question
of victory for Annapolis. but Just what
the extent of the score would be. The
Virginiars tried hard to advance with
the hope of getting at least one touch
down. but the navy forwards held
strong On almost all occasions and at
no stage of the contest was Annapolis
ir great danger of being crossed.
For so early in the season the Md
shipnaen played an exceptionally strong
