DEMOCRATIC ENDORSEMENT.

Truth VIII sooner or later assert
itself Ever since the TAX reform
movement in West Virginia began, the
friends of the movement have insist
ed that 1t was for the benefit OF the
common people, while its enemies
have been equally insistent that 1t
would be detrimental to the farmers
and small home owners. Every move
ment so far made has proven that the
common people are getting the best
fSthe deal and that the calunntators
of the advocates OF tax reform all
had some kind Of axes to grind With
some It was politics, with others 1t
was money But a few sincere Demo
Gratis have been unwilling to follow
what they knew to be false and de-
sceptye leadership and have showr
commendab8e independence. One Of
the most noteworthy is our friend Har-
ryL. Snyder, OF the ShepheTdstown
Register, who lives In JEFFERSON coun-
sfy, the banner Democratic stronghold
OF the State. His paper this week Is
strong IN its endorsement OF the ac-
ton Of the Board OF Public Works
relative to the review OF the real es-
tate valuations OF the state and We
reproduce some OF its comments as
follows:

The Huntington Herald pays the fol-
lowing handsome compliment to West
virginia's senior United States Sena-
tor:
No Senator in Congress has ever
looked more closely after the interests
Of his constituents than Senator Elk
ms. During his service as Senator
from West Virginia he has secured
the passage Of more pension bills for
West viryinians, has secured the pas
sage of more claim bills for West Vir-
ginians, has secured larger appropria-
tons for public improvements in West
Virginia than any other Senator who
has ever represented the State in the
Senate Besides this he has taken q
more influential part in national 1egis-
lation than any other Senator from
West Virginia ever has. Is not this
pretty satisfactory answer to the
assertion that he ought to be defeat
ed because he has not time to attend
to his duties as SENATOR

TO TIE DESERET NEWS.

By the splendid cooperation of manu-

working force, The Tribune issues from
its own battery of linotypes the matter
for it's paper this morning, and, al

PROUD OF THE CITY.

The word that the work on the public
improvements of this city is to be
energeticaIly pushed, and most of it
completed this year, is very welcome.
As the money for it is required to be
put up by the property owners, and as
the city must pay for the public part
Of il, the paving at the street inter
sections and the crosswalks, this work
should also be pushed, and will have to
be paid for. For, when property own
ers put up their money for work TO be
done, they like to see it done, and the
same should be true of this city.
This push by the Board of Public
Works toward realizing the just cxpec
tations of the public must be approved
by all well-wisbers of the city. To be
suro, it is a new departure from the
methods of the discredited Morris adj
ministration, which wrested the prop
crty owner s money from him and
failed to give him the Improvements
the same year, while protesting that
it was not able to make up his account
so az to refund him his money when
there was q failure to put in the i'm
provement. But it is departure which
merits and will certainly receive the
public commendation.
There is far more Of public work
going on this year in Salt Lake than
was ever seer in any one year before.
The great water conduit from Big Cot
tonwood. the south and southwest
sewer system, provided for in the same
election that authorized the water
bonds, the street paving, the sidewalk
extensions, the sewers, the boulevard
the repairs on old and worn street
paving, all make wonderful showing
| of energy and push toward making this
city the magical metropolis that lie
situation requires it to be. We are
all proud of Salt Lake City, and VIC
shall all be proudcr of it than ever
when the magnificent work that the
American party is doing for 1t is com
| pleted.

billions and realize that If justice were
done there would he no such wide di-
vergcncc between tho vastly rich and
the poor.
There has been uneXamplcd, phe-
uomeunl and even marvellous accumula-
ton of wealth by some individuals, but
statistics and the oaily experience of
man-which Is better than mere sta
tistics-both demonstrate that the
multiplication of individual wealth for
a few has not been greater than the
multiplication of individual comfort
now rising into luxury, for the many
Not only does the improvement hold
good among toiiers, but III is percePtt-
BILE among all classes. While in the
early day of the Republic the man who
possessed a million dollars Of wealth
was one in million, it is found now
that there is millionaire for every
10000 of people, and among the other

Independent completeness. 1t may be
held that all these figures and all these
statements of Improvement arc no
solace 10 the 100 men out of every
100000 who arc in the poorhouses; but
civilization is wide in its effects and

TOWARD HIGHER THINGS,

Another sign that the world is grow
ing better is found in the decrease of
pauperism in this country-for men are
happier when they are selfsustaining
than when they arc in poorhouses, and
the greater the aggregate Of individual
happiness the better the world may
truly be said 10 he. In 1850 there were
1872 people in almshouses for every
100000 Of our populations; in 1890 the
number was decreased to III per 100
600, and in 1904 there were but l0l
occupants Of poorhouses in the United
States to every 100000 Of population.
Agitators have frequently pointed
the mass OF mankind TO the idea that
as civilization progresses the distance
between the rich and the poor grows
greater-that relatively there are more
poverty and want in the world today
than ever before It is not enough ia
