THE BARNES APPOINTMENT.

Since Senator Tillman filed formal
charges against B. F. Barnes. appoint
ed postmaster of Washington, d. c.,
by President Roosevelt, 1t has become
manifest that the controversy over the
Mrs. Morris incident must be cleared
up satisfactorily before Barnes sue
ceeds to the position. Witnesses have
been summoned and the preparations
are under way for a thorough investi-
cation of the charges, which represent
the assistant secretary to the president
as guilty of conduct unbecoming to a.
gentleman The accusations made by
Senator Tfllman against Barnes are
specific and direct and conclude with
the charge that MIR. Barnes made a
statement to the press which was full
of falsehoods and which proves him to
be lacking in that integrity and high
character which a government official
should have
The New York Press, an ardent Re-
publican paper which boasts of it's
staunch RepubIicanism on all occa-
siOns, thus comments on Barnes ap-
DOintment:
OF course it is inconceivabIe that Mr.
roosevelt expected confirmation of his
lieutenant for any office, and last of all
Tor the postmastership of the city where
the Mrs Norris incident occurred, with
out thorough threshing out of the scan
daL Nothing is gained for the cause of
justice by deriding the fight on Barnes as
a part of the general senate programme
of hostility to the president, because the
senator who has lodged the formal
charges against Mr.. Barnes is the most
aggressive supporter of the presidential
policy-rate regulatiOn-whiCh has made
him so many enemies among influential
senator's Either Mr.. Barnes is a grossly
unfit person for any government office
or he has been the victim of cruel injus-
tice. If the truth does not lie at one or
the other of these extremes, and nowhere
between them, then both the defenders of
Barnes, and this includes the president,
and the opponents of Barnes, and this in
cludes Senator Tillman, have taken sides

THE DEATH OF DIR. TAeeART.

In the midst of a generous effort to
relieve suffering in San Francisco, DR..
c. F. Taggart Of Los Angeles, formerly
chief surgeon OF the San Pedro road
and well known in Salt Lake, lost his
life by the accidental discharge Of a
weapon in his possession. News of the
accident came yesterday and brought a
sense of personal bereavement to all
who had been fortunate enough to meet
the doctor.
Even the most casual acquaintance
was impressed by the courtly gentle
ness of the man, by his thoughtfulness
for others, by his willingness to sacri-
flee his own comfort or convenience
that some one else might find life's
pathway easier.
1t was like him to be among the first
to go to the rescue Of the people of
San Francisco; it was a great misfor-
tune for the sufferers that they should
be deprived of his skill and sympathy
when there was such great need of it.
Those who knew him will grieve that so
brave and chivalric a soul met death
when life meant so much of kindness
to others, so much of the joy of living
for the man himself

A BANK OF BANKS.

The New York idea of a great, ma
tiOnal central bank, that Will exercise
exclusively many of the functions at
present exercised by national banks,
does not please even New York, as is
indicated by the Times, one of the
really great and influential newspapers
of that city. In discussing the propo-
Sition the Times says:
The idea of a bank OF banks is remin-
lscent of a deceased capitalist who took
himself and his institution more seriously
than others did. There are six thousand
reasons to the contrary. What bank will
surrender its privileges, however unap-
preciated, to another and superior insti-
tuuOnE What standing would such a
proposition have in congress or before the
people? How is it possible not to ridicuIe
people to make money cheap 1t is Just
a trffle more absurd than the conditions
under which banks compete in purchas-
ing the deposits which they lend, and then
com pete in the terms upon which they
shall lend it, leaving it to borrowers to
bid up the market upon themselves, and
advertise their necessities and the neces-
stiles of the market. Not one of these
things is necessary or justifia BILE 1t is
indeed eminently desirable that there
should be a standard rate for money, set
fortunate that exactly this proposal
should be made at just this time and in
just this manner. The situation doubt
less has its amusing aspects, but
noyance at the waste of a good oppOr-
tunity must prevail

THE "RED HOUSE,"

washington Cor, New York Times.)
There is a good deal of talk at both
ends of the capitol about the red
house in legislation. 1t is said that
the red house is to be made shib-
boieth for the rate fight, and one en-
thuslastic man has proposed to send
TO New York and have lapel buttons
made with small red house on them
for the friends of the Hepburn bill
to wear.
This talk is ali due to a remark by
the president At a conference last
week at the White House the presi-
dent sought to make his position
clear on the amendments, to the Hep
burn bill he desired or was willing to
consent TO. He remarked that he did
mot care how the house was painted
so long as 1t was painted red"

DYNAMIT
(Chicago Record-Herald.)

The fast mail was supposed to have
the right Of way over everything on
the road. Conductor HAZEL never ran
much slower than fifty miles an hour.
and he was at a loss to know why No
Ian, the engineer, was throwing away
so much time. He frantically reached
for the bell cord and gave the engineer
the signal to go ahead. The only salts
faction he got was two short blasts on
the whistle, the signal indicating, "Au
is WELL"
But Nolan continued to creep
along. Finally he signaled for ''Roun-
dout." Before the train came to a full
stop the conductor was on the ground
Engineer Nolan met him on the gang
way.
What's the matter with you, John?
L gave you the signal to go ahead at
least half dozen times. What was
the trouble?"
well, if I had needed your signals
it is certainty that we would never
have reached Chicago. Come here and
will show you"
CINE. On the side track stood another
engine and box car shrouded in
white sheets Printed on them in six
foot letters were the words:
Dynamite"
There are just thirty-three tons of
dynamite in that car" said Nolan.
What do you think would have han
pened if I had hit that when cliDDing
forty miles an hour? You let me run
my train and you take care of the cars
behind"
How did that fellow get in ahead
of us?"
He is running on special orders
The granite company that owns that
car of stuff paid first class rates to get
1t through. I have the right of way
to all intents and purposes, but even
at that ] have a little common sense.
If you want to find out why he got i'm
ahead OF me ask the superintendent at
Chicago. This is the first siding I
could get him onto. Now the line is
clear and we will 'whoop 1t up
HAZEL knew the negineer meant
what he said. Orders showed that for
the next hundred and fifty miles the
engineer of the mail had the right of
way. Nolan climbed into his cab. He
ran against time, and when he pulled
into the depot at Chicago he had
smashed all records ever made on the
road, won the name of Dynamite and
with 1T reputation that gave him the
first eighteen-hour train to run over
the Chicago division of the road.

THE BRIGHTER SIDE.

Isn't it heart warming to see how the
American people are pouring out their
money, their personal services and their
sympathy in the great emergency?
Isn't it worth all it costs to know that
the human race and the American ma
tiOn in particular are glad to rally to
the help of the unfortunate thousands
in California? Doesn't the universal
response to the call for help belle the
pessimism Of those misanthropes who
have been telling us that the Ameri-
can people had lost sight Of the higher
qualities of humanity in their pursuit
Of wealth?
Like all great crises. the San Fran
cisco calamity has brought out the best
in mankind; it has restored faith in
the goodness of this old world of ours.
and has frightened the gloom that fol-
lowed the news of the devastation
wrought by earthquake and fire in San
Francisco?
So long as the nation can forget all
else in the desire to alleviate suffering.
so long as men are willing to sacrifice
their time. their money and their en-
ergy to doing good. just so long is there
a certainty that the people possess the
elements of national strength that will
bring redemption from any temporary
deviation from high ideals and noble
purposes. And therein lies one Of the
hopeful features of the situation that
redeems it from utterly hopeless hor-
ror.

GET IN LINE AND HELP.

on the front page of this issue is an
appeal for clothing with which to care
for the refugees who are coming
to Utah or passing through Ogden and
Salt Lake from San Francisco en- route
to points where they can find friends
or employment. Indications are that
the number of such destitute will be
large and the advance files report that
in a great many cases the sufferers
have not enough clothing to protect
them decently from exposure and cold.
The appeal which is made under the
advice Of the local Relief Committee
calls for specific articles arranged
where possible in bundles, labeled to
expedite classification and distribu-
ton. It is hoped the response will be
Immediate and generous. and that the
directions as to wrapping will be fol-
lowed explicitly. The men and women
in charge of the relief work are bur
dened with the volume of relief meas
ures and contributors can aid them
materially by following the system
outlined.
Judging from reports brought in by
restitution of the Coast people can be
relieved fully. The number of suffer-
ers. which is estimated i'm the hum
dreds Of thousands, presents a prob
lem unparalleled in magnitude, 50
there is no possibility that any chari-
table effort will be wasted or misdi-
rected. It is a case where every dollar
given. every article Of food or clothing
contributed has an immediate value;
where promptness is the essence of
charity.
Salt Lake has done its full share in
assuming the burden of relief, it has
competent committees at the head of
affairs, and it is devoting itself to the
most practical lines most effectively.
With good beginning. this city is in
position to handle the work satisfac-
torily, promptly and efficiently so as
to achieve a maximum Of benefit.
The influx of refugees is one of the
Unforeseen contingencies, but the com
mittees viii be prepared to meet the
emergency. Men and women who
come here seeking work will probably
have no difficulty in getting employ
ment or in finding food, shelter and
clothing while they are being located.
Ogden, which is situated in the direct
line of travel from the coast, will prob
ably have more people to care for than
Salt Lake. and if it does, there should
be cooperation between the two cities
so as to relieve the Junction people in
case they wish assistance in caring for
their unfortunate guests.
In any event it is certain that no
worthy refugee will lack for friends
and practical help on arrival within
the boundaries of Utah; nor is it likely
the committees will draw too fine a
line at first as to the worthiness Of the
applicants for help. 1t would be better
to suffer imposition from the unworthy
than run the chance of refusing assist
ance to the really needy; and in a
calamity of such proportions, no good
deed can go amiss.
