THE CITY'S NEED.

The moving forward of city is the
work of many hands The burden of
community progress may be so diver.
sifed, so equally borne, that with any
| fair expenditure Of the general energy
the city advances with marvellous ra-
pidity; or so many of those who should
bear their part may be so inert that the
few advancing individualities are
obliged TO carry so much of the load
that progress is necessarily slow.
Salt Lake has the greatest opportu-
mites of any city in the world and
many of them are being utilized; but
if the spirit of animation, Of upbuid.
ing, could reach every property holder
here the present use of opportunities
and the present progress could be mul-
tiplied ten.fold. to the infinite profit
of the community and It's individual
units.
All the old reasons for delay arc
vanishing. There is plenty of local
capital for the upbuilding of n city of
beauty; and there is ample security in
the assured future to Justify the most
lavish expenditure upon residence and
business structures. For long time
the railway future Of Salt Lake was in
doubt; 1T was impossible for the aver
age Salt Lake man 10 tell where the
passenger stations would be located,
or whether Salt Lake was to be treat
cd as n way station or as one of the
most important cities on the map But
the incoming of new lines and the
many millions of local expenditure by
the old lines here. with the assurance
of magnificent union stations at points
already definitely settled and with
the railway companies buying electric
systems here and purchasing business
properties for Office and other struc-
lures, there is no longer any question
that Salt Lake is TO have every railway
facility and every railway favor which
her location and her commerce deserve.
The settlement Of this question alone,
which was more n problem of fancy
that of reality, should be all the en-. i
which Salt Lake real es-
tate owners need for the immediate
improvement of property now lying
idle and wasting itself in taxes or
which is being occupied by tumble
down and non-rcmunerative buildings,
The great demand of Salt Lake now
is an era of construction. Big and
beautiful as she is, this city Is far be
hind many others of the country which
have not anywhere near her resources
and capital and her assured commerce.
Growing as she is. her development is
slow compared with that of other towns
with half her reason for growth. 1t
would take two years of the most ag-
gressive, progressive and rapid con-
struction for Salt Lake TO catch up
with her present needs for business and
residence structures; and with the
of these, need for more will
arise
Salt Lake is big, but she will never
be the genuine, big Salt Lake until her
own people shall move in the spirit of
her destined bigness and shall cease
TO wait for the men from abroad TO
come here and show them how to make
the city beautiful.

STAND BY THE SCHOOLS!

The Mormon priesthood is much en-
couraged in its hope of retaining its
present hold upon the public schools of
this city, and even of increasing that
hold, by the subterfuge of the nonparti-
san movement. The tithing from the
school teachers and from other members
of the force and of the administration,
not 10 forget the janitors, seems good
20 the avaricious eyes of the eccle
siasts. and they are adroit in the use
of means To retain the sources of supply
that are open as we'll as 10 increase
those sources as opportunity or un-
scrupulousness offers.
1t was hoped by the church leaders
that they could slip through this "non-
partisan campaign Of their devising
without their real purpose being un-
masked, But the convention in the
Third ward tore OF the mask, and dis
closed the real purpose, which is, to
insist upon the recognition of the
church's privileges and graft. The
'outside' teachers were denounced
coarsely and falsely, simply because
they were thought by a polygamist to
have "preiudice" against polvgamy,
and though there were present men of
sense and stamina, who objected TO the
vile abuse, this viciousness was much
TO the liking of the convention. which
applauded it without stint; and in reply
to suggestion that the offensive abuse
be withdrawn, Moses Davis objected to
the suggestion, contending that the vi
cious abuse was truly expressive Of the
sense of the convention, and should
stand. The renewed applause which
greeted this defense Of the vile attack
upon the tenchers proved that Moses
Davis had correctly gagged the sense
of that convention, And the nomina-
tion of man in full sympathy with
the reactionary element, n determined,
bigoted foe of the free public schools.
who would be delighted to cripple them
in every way in his power, emphasized
the hostility of that convention to the
public school system of this city.
And Of such is 'nonpartisanship. - In
four wards of the city this raid upon
the schools is being pursued under the
guise of nonpartisanship. In the
Fourth ward it was scarcely lees dis
guised hostility than in the Third,
though in the Fourth it took the shape
of defeating the only real nonpartisan
whose name was presented, though he
was ON the point Of being nominated;
but when IT was ascertained that he
was not church partisan he was un-
tremendously dropped. a : nonparti-
san" convention dropped its preferred

THE WAVE OF CRIME.

Detroit Free Press
Crime is holding carnival in many
sections of the country of which Michi-
gan makes a notable one. Crime waves
have been observed and studied and
while other factors enter, particularly
the changing tension in the excitement
of the community, the phenomenon
bears all the characteristics of an cpl
demic. The crime impulse is propacat~
ed by suggestion. Where the tension
Is greatest the suggestion is most po-
tent and the epidemic most rapid.
Whatever the theory, there is no mis-
taking the facts. a wave of crime and
death passed over Pittsburg, just ms it
has at other times seized Chicago and
Detroit. Atlanta opened the season
with protracted siege of negro out.
