SINGS STRIPPED TO HAIST.
Odd Costume OF a Russian Basso Whom
COnried Would Hire.

Mr.. Conried completed yesterday an
arrangement for a production of Berlioz's
la Damnation de Faust" here in operatio
form next year. The work is familiar
enough as an oratorio, but has never be-
fore been SUM here as an opera.
Raoul Gunsbourg, director Of the opera
at Monte Carlo, which is the only theatre
in Europe that has as many noted stars
as our Metropolitan. first gave Berlioz's
work as an opera four years ago. In
order to insure a perfect performance
Mr.. Conried has invited NJ. Gunsbourg
to come to New York to take charge OF
this production.
He has accepted and will come here
some time in January. The two principal
singers in the cast will be Mr.. Rousseliere
and Geraldine Farrar. Mr.. Conried hoped
to engage for the part Of Mephi8to the
Russian basso NJ. Shalyapin. He comes
from the Imperial Opera House in Moscow
and is especially famous in this role. He
sings it stripped to the waist, which is his
conception Of the way Mephistopheles
should dress.

MORE EAST SIDE HORSE CARS
And Increased Service In Brooklyn the State
Commissions View.

SOmTliSslOns view.
Many settlement workers appeared be-
fore the State Railroad Commission yester-
day to make complaints regarding the poor
service of the surface roads on the lower
East Side~ The complainants stated that
the horse cars are inadequate, that the en-
4 pioyees are uncivil and that the cars are
dirty and unhealthy. Louis Blumberg,
president of the East Side Civic Club, said
that the congestion in the morning AND
evening rush hours was so great as to cause
q serious loss to the company because Of
the inability Of the conductors to collect
all the fares.
Oren Root, general manager Of the Metro
pohtan Street Railway, testified that it
was impossible to maintain a better service
on the lower East Side because of the
\ crowded condition of the streets. due to
the numerous trucks and vehicles, the great
number Of pedestrians and the narrow
ness Of the streets. The commission re-
served decision, but it is likely to recon-
mend an increase of about 80 per cent, in
the present horse car service.
The commission also gave a hearing yes
erday to the promoters Of the Hudson
River and Eastern Traction Company,
which proposes to build an electric line
from Ossining south.
After investigating ratio conditions in
Brooklyn it has recommended that the
Brooklyn Heights Railroad increase its
service on certain surface lines. Recon-
mendations regarding improvements on
the elevated lines in Brooklyn were made
about a week ago, and Yesterday the COM
I mission received a letter from President
winter stating that they would be complied
with. The recommendations regarding
surface conditions are, in part, as follows;

SCOPE OF MAGISTRATES.
No Borough Lines Restrict Their Jurisdic-

By a decision handed down yesterday
in the Supreme Court, Brooklyn, by Justice
Garretson, the right Of the Board Of City
Magistrates of Manhattan to lend one or
more OF their members to the board in
the former borough was maintained.
Magistrate Wahle recently yer over to
Brooklyn and oficiated in the Adams

COLER AS A PROPHET.

Candidates.

President Bird S. Coler of the Borough
Of Brooklyn said yesterday:
Il am not in politics, and I am not talk
ing politics. I am too young to be talking
politics. There is not a politician in this
office. Still, after looking owe the sltua-
ton, l think l can size it up fairly accurately.
The Republicans will nominate Charles
E. Hughes for Governor. He is their
most available man. The Independence
League will nominate Mr.. Hearst and the
Democrats will indorse him. He will run
on a combined ticket. l believe Hughes
and Hearst will be the only candidates in

The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1906-11-08
AFTER THE BATTLE.

Since political post mortems are nei-
ther profitable nor edifying, The Herald
proposes to have none on the result of
Tuesdays election in this state and
county. The Democratic party was
pretty nearly disbanded for the benefit
of one wing of the Republicans-and
that is about all there is TO say. While
the men who abandoned the party and
the men who moved them into the Re
publican ranks had no regard for polit-
Zeal principle, it would be futile to dis
cuss their motives.
The future concerns the people a good
deal more than the events of the week.
Already men are discussing the prob
able alignment for the next city cleo
ton, and that fact alone foreshadows
a continuation of the struggle between
the Republicans and the Americans
on exactly the same lines that divided
them i'm this election Tie outlook may
please the leaders of those two factions;
it cannot possibly be inviting to the
citizen of the state who has any regard
for it's welfare or for the comfort and
happiness Of it's people.
Only one comforting thought offers
any compensation for the prospect, and
that is the patent fact that neither Re
publicans, Americans or any other
faction can stop the development of the
state, the influx of new capital, the up
building of a great city in this valley
and the ultimate return of the people
to straight politics. If the disturbers
could take a vacation for few months
81 would add just that much TO the joy
of the community; but even if they
must stay here and keep up their per-
nicious activity, they can't retard long
or hinder much the Roadway the state
and city have acquired.

THE VOTING MACHINES.

The successful operation of the vot-
ing machines in Salt Lake City on
Tuesday was a source of much gratif1-
cation to the public generally, but it
was particularly gratifying to The Her
pld. Something like three years ago
The Herald editorially suggested that
it would be a good thing to install vot-
ing machines in Utah. The suggestion
was based on the successful operation
Of the machines in other sections of the
country and the unanimous opinion
that they solved hard problem.
Some time later a law was passed by
the Utah legislature authorizing city
councils and county commissioners to
purchase machines. Then the matter
was allowed to lie dormant. Finally
The Herald again took the question I'D.
The proposition continued to grow in
favor and at last the machines were Sc
cured. Great fear was expressed by
many people as to the outcome Tues
day. Doubters pointed out that the
machines were new to a large majority
of the voters, and it was asserted that
a full vote could not be cast on them.
At no time Tuesday was there any
delay of q serious character. The votes
were cast in most of the polling places
far more rapidly than under the paper
ballot system. There was very little
confusion and few mistakes made. With
the machine, indeed. it is practically
impossible to make any mistakes at all,
and it is certainly impossible to make
such a mistake as would invalidate a
vote. For example, two candidates for
one office could not be voted for.
The first use of the machine naturally
resulted in the casting of large per-
centage Of straight ballots. This was
the result of unfamiIiarity with the
method of voting. But next year and
in subsequent years the independent
voter, the voter who likes to vote
FOR candidates. on all tickets. will
be in his glory again. For, instead of
encouraging straight voting, the ma
chimes encourage scratching by making
it very easy.
The voting machine is a success, an
unqualified success. 1t will pay for it
self in reduced election cost during the
next five years or so, it will prevent
contests and make for honest elections,
and it viii give the people the election

THE ELECTION RETURNS.

So many intelligent people are blow
ing The Heralds trumpet these days
that it is really unnecessary for it to
blow its own. We do feel rather proud,
though, of the manner in which cleo
ton returns were received and disA
played at this Office. The service of no
other newspaper in Salt Lake APP
preached it in excellence and i'm COM
pleteness.
AT 9 o'clock in the evening, when The
Herald's contemporaries were indulging
in wild guesses based on a few mac
curate figures, The Herald announced
that Thomas Weir, candidate for con-
gress on the american ticket, had
carried the city by $50 votes. This was
an estimate based or twenty-one dis
tricts out of forty-one The completed
and corrected vote showed that Mr..
Weir carried the city by 945.
Confidently with the Weir bulletin
The Herald announced that the Repub-
licans had elected every candidate on
| their county and legislative tickets. The
returns that had been received album
dainty justified this statement, a state
ment that was abundantly borne out by
the figures that followed Some of them
are still guessing, in spite of the fact
that they have had an opportunity to
read the returns as published in The
Herald yesterday morning.
We do not regard the incident of the
election returns as more than an Incl
dent. 1t was merely a part Of the
days work Of getting out a newspaper.
This is the mission of The Herald in
this field. 1t has been fulfilling 1t for
some years back, and it proposes to
keep right on fulfilling it in the future.
People who want the news while it is
the news, those who want fair, uncol-
ored, unbiased, honest reports regard
less of political or other considerations,
must come to The Herald for them.

The USEFUL SPUp.

A statistician who found time hang
ing heavily on his hands figured out
the other day that, if there were only
one potato left in the world, careful
cultivator could produce from that lone
potato upwards of ten billions in ten
years, and so supply the world with
seed again. 1t is grealy to be hoped
that the time will never come for the
theory to be demonstrated The meek
and lowly spud, despised by many ig-
norant persons, is a most valuable item
of the worlds food supply.
Given a baked potato, with little
butter and salt, and perhaps some
brown gravy on it. any individual may
consider himself fortunate. He has be-
fore him enough sustenance to keep
him going until he gets hungry again.
1t would be hard to live on potatoes
alone. but one could do it. And by the
same token it would be hard to live on
any single article of food. Anything,
however delicious at the outset, grows
distasteful after a certain length of
time.
But have you ever stopped to con-
slider the fact that potatoes make a
happy addition TO every meal you eat ?
Can you think of any one thing that
you wouldn't grow deathly tired of if
you saw it on the table three times a
day? Yet at least two-thirds of the
people of Salt Lake City, and the pro-
portion will hold good throughout the
country, eat potatoes at least once a
day or oftener. We could get along
without any vegetable more easily.
Let the statistician turn his attention
to something less terror-inspiring than
the suggestion that we might be re-
