Salt Lakes golden opportunity is
here. Much of what has been said in
this article is familiar to residents Of
the city. They have no doubt as to
the future of the city. They know these
things, and they are eoInplacent. But
the world in general does not know
them. The world should be told, and
when it is, there will be good times for
everybody here.
The Salt Lake Real Estate associa-
ton is raising a fund to advertise the
advantages of the city. This is some
thing to which every person interested
ir Salt Lake shoGld Contribute. The ap-
peal on the ground of public spirit
should be sufficient. but there is prac-
teal as well as a sentimental side TO
this.
Can Get Money and People.
The practical side is that if the OPP
portunities in Salt Lake City are prop
eriy advertised Elsewhere, there VIII be
a flow of money and population here.
This means that the merchant VIII DO
a better business. the factories VIII
have wider market, the mining man

Garner will have plenty to do at ad-

real estate or to sell it at better prices
i'm short. everybody will prosper.
Every dollar contributed to this fund
will come back many times over. It's
good investment. Now is the time for
ali to lay aside personal. political and
religious differences where the good of
the entire community and all eompon-
emf individuals is at stake. And now,

been a reimbursement of local freight
rates that has removed many of the
Shackles from local merchants. 1t
gives them opportunities for extending
their influence such as they never pos
sessed before. 1t opens up possibilities
that were not dreamed of a few years
ago. The benefit of this change is es-
pecially felt by the dealers in mining
machinery and other freight of great
weight. This in connection with the
activity of the federal government
against the rebate evil, has redounded
greatly TO the benefit of the Salt Lake
jobber and goes far toward starting
him on an equal footing with his COM
p etitors IN the race for business.
Every Foot of Old Ground is Held.
While the merchants of Salt Lake
have been winning victories at home in
the matter of freight rates. and while
they have been establishing their out
posts in every available spot in the new
fields of Nevada, they have not been
asleep TO the Importance of holding the
ground already won. All Utah and the
greater part of Idaho. Wyoming and
Montana nave been OverTun throughout
the year with statesmen whose head
quarters are in Salt Lake. Nor is this
ali. Portions of Colorado, Oregon and
Arizona have paid tribute to the enter
prise of the jobbers of this city Sales
men from Denver and Missouri river
points on the east, and from all Pacific
coast points on the west, have been met
on the borders and in many cases driv-
en- back from the territory that belongs
rightfully under the banner of Salt
Lake.
Brighter Outlook for Future.
Taking for basis the business al
ready secured, and the splendid adj
vance of the past year, it is not diff
cult to predict a great future for Salt
Lake as a jobbing center. The COM
pletiOn of every new railroad will open
up additional territory for local busi-
ness. 1t will bring additional thousands
knocking at the gates of this city for
food and clothing and all the countless
articles that go 10 make up this COM

If the state of a city's philanthropic
and charitable organizations be taken
as a criterion of her true civilization
as distinguished from civilization in the
commercial sense-then Salt Lake can
claim to be a highly civilized city. Her
interest in philanthropic eIdeavor is
great and practical. Her hospitals are
the best equipped in the west, her care
of dependent Juveniles under the state
Juvenile court law is as effective and
well organized as the perhaps better
known but similar work in Denver,
Colo: and what little dependency in
adults there is-fOr of real pauperism
in the intermountain country there is
practically none-is dealt with efsec-
lively.
In a country like this where every
body works. and where the work is in
most cases out OF doors and strenuous,
the most pressing problem of phiian-
thropy is not free soup kitchens IS in
older countries. but hospitals.

This problem has been met in splen-
did manner in silt Lake. 1t was first
tackled by the Episcopalians. who built

hold over the heads of The machine
 men the certain alternative of split
 il the party. Nothing else will bring the protectors of monopoly to time.
 Mir. Roosevelt must be prepared to win with the people, over the wreck of the republican party if need be. What the result to the party would be no man can foretell. The split might come: the wreck might be certain But the result to MT. Roosevelt would be clear. He would win with the peo- pie. He could accomplish railroad re- forms, tariff revision and control of the trusts, and he would go down in the record of the times as a force greater than, not submissive to, hfs party. His courage might eventually throw the country into control of tke democratic party, but his statesman ship would be too broad to be meas ured by mere party lines.
 Not many people will credit him with this kind Of political courage, which stakes all on a principle, but most thinking men will agree that a splendid opportunity for inspired statesmanshfp lies open before him. The chances are that MT. Roosevelt is too much of a republican politician to be a truly great and individual ser want of the people. and more's the pity.

CTS are set forth in another column
 of this paper. The Review yesterday pointed out two obiectional features of the water franchise. First, it does
 not contain a municipal clause, and second there is no good reason why
 the City should bind itself to use
 Bisbee-Naco Water Co. water, for flushing purposes. for period of twen-
 ty-five years.
 These are vital objections, and the Review is of the opinion that the e;im, inetion of one clause and the insertion of municipal water paragraph, would strengthen the sewer proposition with the property owners.
 The time is not ripe for Bisbee to undertake a municipal water system. But the time may come sooner than we expect. and it would be desirable at sometime in the future.l if Bisbee could boast of its own mu- nicipal sewer and water plant. For. the present, the situation presents it. self, aofrdoing the best we can, and the Review amendments we believe. if incorporated in the present fran. chise ordinance, would present prac- tical and unobjectionable proposition.
 The voters of Bisbee should bear in mind during the discussion that they are not voting away any of their rights. That they are not grant ing to the Bisbee-Naco Water company an exclusive franchise. The Review would be willing 10 guarantee that next year if another water compans came knocking at the door of Bisbee, promising to give to consumers a cheaper rate, or even the same rate, that the people would gladly grant to the new company the same privileges asked for at this time by the Bisbes. Naco Water company. .WI
 It appears to us, looking at the ques- ion fairly and from an impartial stand Dcint, that there is nothing to be about and nothing to get ex, -ited over.
 Look at the question the next day after election and see how it looks 10 you.

PUTTING THE CoMMoNER RIGHT.

In the last issue of the Comronsr we find the following:
 "The people Of Arizona are up in arms coacerning the proposition of joint statehood between Arizona and New Mexico. Referring to the Com moner's suggestion that all in favor of the admission of these territories unite their influence behind President Rooseyelt's plan and work for it's ac- compRshment, J. V. Pearsall. of Doug las, Arizona, says: Your suggestion may be a good one so far as the h. dian and Oklahoma territories are con cerped, but conditions are entirely diff ferent as regards Arizona and New Mexico. A large majority of both these territories are bitterly opposed to joint statehood. and nearly every newspaper in Arizona claims that were the matter left to vote, 95 to s9 per cent of the voters would pre- fer that this territory remain as it is indefinitely rather than be linked with New Mexico. There is practf- cally nothing in common between the people of Arizona and New Mexico. The backbone of the continent divides them, their customs are different,
 they do not agree politically, and there are numerous other reasons why a union would be a mesalliance. How ever, I am not presuming to offer in | formation to a paper that usually is so we'll informed on all public questions as is the Commoner, but
 as reader of your paper almost since | the first issue, I earnestly protest against the tacit support you are giy- ling the president in his effort to force l Arizona and New Mexico into one
 state against the wishes of the inhabi' tants of both territories. I cannot be lieve that Congress will commit such
 an outrage. The people of Arizona, irrespective of politics, are opposed Ito being welded to New Mexico Iagainst their will Nor does New Mex
 ico desire it. Senator Beveridge's Arizona the Great would doubtless
 be republican, but the republicans of Arizona do not care to lose their identity and become ArizOnans ir
 name only Possibly a half dozen
 democratic soreheads and a very few republican politicians who are ex tremely hungry for pie, would be
 willing to see the two territories ad
 mitted as one state rather than wait
 longer for separate statehood, but the
 ipeople as a whole, in both territor ies, were they allowed to, would over whelmingIy defeat such a movement . We know that the Commoner believe! [ in government by the people ratheI than by the politicians, and we ear nestly ask that you use your influence to defeat joint statehood between NeV
 Mexico and Arizona, and not conclud' that it is the part of wisdom to makt botch of the thing because there ii no immediate prospect of doing i ? right |"
 . We have not the pleasure of know l ing Mir. PearsalI, but we are glad L r see him enlisted in the statehoot r fight. He makes a clear statemen - of the facts.

So far as this paper is concerned, it would prefer to see Arizona remain a territory until Gabriers horn shall toot, rather than to see it put into a state with New Mexico. This is the feeling of 95 per cent of the citi- zens of Cochise county, and we be lieve 90 per cent of the people of the entire territory will endorse 1t.
