No American can get the blues who stud
les his expanding country. Here come the
reports OF foreign trade during the year
which ended last month. The figures arc
inspiring, for they show 10 what extent tho
rest OF the world leans upon the United
States as a shore house.
Exports and imports together fell just
short of $4,000 900. the actual amount
being s. s6s. O0OOOO. But the exports far out
ran in magnitude the imports the excess
OF the former being t5l7OOO,OOO, This is a
truly magnificent trade balance in favor
of the United States, and II excels that Of
any other nation on the globe.
All sections Of the country contributed in
bringing about this great result. The south
sent it's millions worth ~ cotton and the
west It's corn and wheat, while the east
sold vast quantities OF manufactured ma
terials or mineral products, So long as the
United States can sell 10 foreigners

ture OF 100000 on the navy or $3.50. 600 OOO

His Sins of Omission.

Russell Sage never made himself felt IN

while. He paid no debt to good citizen

brotherhood He did nothing TO show that
he guided his life by worthy standards. His
sins OF omission we're great and numerous.

America will be less tolerant Of such men
as Russell Sage hereafter. Standards OF
citizenship are growing higher The obliga-
tons of wealth are better understood.
Misers have never been loved or lovable.

LIFE WORK OF RUSSELL SAGE.
Never Learned to spend

With all his wonderful success in build
Ing up a fortune, he never learned the
art of spending. His philosophy did not
grasp the idea that a rich man might
have a purpose in life beyond mere money
getting He never sought culture nor
even leisure. He was VIGOROUSLY deaf
to the appeals OF charity or philanthropy,
though he permitted his wife to make some
benefactions. Though not naturally un-
sociable, he was unwilling to give any
of his time to the cultivation of the spirit
Of fellowship. So far as was possible in the
busy whirl Of wall street, he lived the
life OF a recluse and a miser.

Little Good-LIttIe Harm.
Denver Republican.

Mr.. Sage was entitled to the negative
praise, however, that IL he did little good
with his money, he also did little harm.
We hear much now ar9 then about the
alleged evil Of great fortunes, with the
idea presented that the mere fact that an
enormous fortune exists in the hands
of one man Is In itself evil. 1t in
wolves a radical error. and II is one Of
which the minds OF the people should
be freed. Great fortunes are an evil
and a public menace only when they are
employed in oppressive or otherwise evil
ways

His ethics were the ethics OF his en-

Special to The Tribune.
OGDEN, Aug. 13.-Prior TO the meet
Ing of the City Council tonight there were
two executive sessions. The first was
10 consider what action should be taken
in the matter OF the proposed prosecution
OF the Councilmen. Ii was at this session
that the decision was reached by which
Paine and Moyes were to resign and at
once be appointed. The other executive
session was for the purpose of discuss
Ing the proposed franchise which had
already passed the Council. had been ap-
proved by the Mayor and filed and ac-
cepted by the Ogden Waterworks COM
pany. An amendment was offered In the
executive session which was accepted by
the company.
Another amendment was suggested
which was rejected. This was section II
OF the compromise franchise, and reads
as follows: 1T is understood and agreed
that upon the acceptance OF this fran
chise and the payment OF $40 900 by Ogden
City, the Ogden Waterworks company
does hereby waive and release any and
all rights that 1t may have heretofore
had against Ogden City for water rem
tai; for any other claim of any kind or
character whatsoever, growing out of n
claim for water or litigation heretofore
pending against the city of Ogden and
will execute such release as may be-
sistant. and also by such acceptance shall
thereby waive any claims that it., or its
predecessors may have had. or has un-
der any ordinance or franchise heretofore
passed, and as far as such water COM
pany is concerned the acceptance Of this
franchise shall be deemed n cancellation
OF any other franchise or ordinance here
tofore granted to II or its predecessors
in interest"
This amendment is just what the peo-
pie OF Ogden thought they were receiv-
ing. The cancellation of the old Both
we'll contract with q new franchise in It's
stead is what has been worked for, The
company. however. declined TO accept this
clause and substitute franchise was
drawn UP and agreed upon.
When the members went into the Coun-
Gil chamber the question OF an additional
filing fee OF $75 was raised, The com
pany already has one check for SIS In
the city treasury for the ordinance the
company had accepted which was con-
tested by legal proceedings. 1t was CON
tended that this was new ordinance
and that another check for SIS should
accompany the application. Judge Ma
ginnis was asked for an opinion and be-
lieyed that that was the proper method.
The water company did not think that III
should pay $3.50 for one franchise and
under these circumstances the new fran
chise did not reach its first reading.
II is feared now that these proceedings
have defeated all the efforts OF tine citi-
zens and the Council to settle the yeNed
waterworks question.

round up n number Of cows that were
pasturing in the streets, especially or
South Washington, Joe discovered six
cows, but each Of them took an oppo-
site direction. One, however, was cap
tured and taken to the stray pound.
In spite OF her owners objections The
Chief says that the nuisance OF pas
turing COWS in the streets will be
aoated.
The efforts to secure metropolitan con-
ditions In Ogden are meeting with par
tial success. After hard work for long

The anti-expectoration ordinance also is

But there is one nuisance that still
prevails in ogden that is not even in
process of elimination, and its habitual
and continual violation came nearly. a
few days ago, causing q tobacco-chewer
who was complying with the anti-eXpec-
toretion ordinance. to break a limb. He
turned behind two companions to spit
over the curb and in doing so slipped
on a banana peel that had been thrown
in the middle of the sidewalk. Only by
an effort did he recover himself and
avoid injury, but the fact remains that
the sidewalks OF Ogden, and especially
In front Of the cheap fruit stands. are
strewn with the outer skin OF the banana
and the cantaloupe,

width of the vein.
