TESTS FOR RELIABILITY.

The future of the automobile depends,
not upon the rate of speed at which 1t
may be driven over the roads, but upon
it's reliability as a means of getting
from place to place under all condi-
lions. The man who wants to purchase
and his family doesn't ordinarily care
for car that he can drive at mile a
minute or less. He wants a car that
viii take him safely and comfortably
and surely out on a run to the country
and back again. And that is the sort
of car he is going to buy.
The makers of automobiles seem
TO be coming to a realization of
this fact. There are not so many
wild automobile flights and there
are more endurance or reliability
contests. 1t is gratifying to know that
In this department the automobile is
proving itself worthy of confidence.
The Glidden tour. recently concluded,
is an example. A large number of au-
lOLUODllcS representing pidCllCdily cN-
cry class entered the contest. One of
the conditions was that a given, and
moderate, rate of speed was not to be
exceeded. The course covered approx
mately 1000 miles. 1t also covered prac-
tically every variety of roads. good and
bad, that this country or bad roads
can afford.
More than so per cent of the entrants
covered the entire distance in good
time. of this number a considerable
proportion had perfect scores. That is,
there were no breakdowns due to grave
faults in mechanism and the like. This

is most encouraging. Improvements in
automobiles have been made so rapidly
in recent years that many people who
are perfectly able to afford the luxury
have hesitated about buying one. This
for the reason that the splendid new
car of 1905 is a rattletrap back-number
in 1906, and so on There is no standard
in automobiles as in horse-drawn We
hicIes, though every maker tries hard
to convince the public that his ma
chine is the standard.
We are rapidly coming to that, how
ever. The perfect automobile has not
yet been built, but it is only a ques-
ton of another year or two. Then
the automobile of one year will
be good for half a dozen or q
dozen years, with reasonable care
The next thing will be to bring Their
within the reach of people of moderate
income. OF course it cannot be said
that that day is near. Even with the
high prices that prevail now the best
automobile factories find it almost i'm
possible to keep UP with their orders
Few cars are sold for immediate deliv-
cry And that has had tendency t.
keep up the prices.
1t is greatly to be hoped. though
that before long the cost of automobile:
will greatly decrease. The machine:
cannot become really popular until Il
does.

THE SPIRIT OF SAN FRANCISCO,

Put me somewhere west of East street,
where there's nothing left but dust.
Where the lads are all hustlin' and
where everything's gone bust,
Where the buildings that are standing
sort of blink and blindly stare
At the d-est finest ruins ever gazed on
anywhere.
Bully ruins-bricks and wall-through the
night I've heard you call
Sort Of sorry for each other, cause you
had to burn and fall,
From the Ferries to Van Ness you're a
God-forsaken mess,
But the d-est finest ruins-nothing more
or nothing less.
The strangers who come rubberin' and a
huntin' souvenirs,
The fools they try to tell us II will take
a million years
Before we can get started, so why don't
we come to live
And build our homes and factories upon
land they've got to give.
Got to give" why, on my soul ! would
rather bore hole
And live right in the, ashes than even
move to Oakland's mole,
IL they'd all give me my pick OF their
buildings proud and slick
In the d-est finest ruins still I'd rather
be brick.

INTEREST ON CITY DEPOSITS.

May we once more be permitted TO
call attention to the undisputed tact
that the city is receiving no interest on
it's bank balances, admitted TO be up
ward of three-quarters of million dol
lars? At the same time let us call at
tention to the fact that there would be
absolutely nothing new in such a pro-
cedure. The precedent was established
by a Democratic administration. Far
be it from us to say that the banks are
not paying interest on the city's money.
They may be paying interest, and they
may not be paying interest. The i'm
portant fact is that if interest is being
paid the money is not going into the
treasury of Salt Lake City, where it
unquestionahly belongs.
At a reasonable rate of interest
enough money would be received by
the city from the banks to pay the sal
aries of the mayor, the city treasurer,
the recorder, the engineer and perhaps
the attorney, with enough left over to
pay the superintendent of the water
works department. 1t would seem that
the reform administration, the adj
ministration which, its friends declare,
is the best, the most economical, the
most patriotic the city has ever had,
ought to look into this matter. 1t
should not be hard to run the thing to
earth. Only a few questions need be
answered. Among them are:
Do the banks pay interest on city de-
posits?
If so, who is getting the money and
by what authority?
If not. why not?
A few days ago the "reformers'
sprung a campaign document at cost,
to the taxpayers, of $1,000. The $1,000
beauty who prepared the report under
took to criticize the Democratic admin
istration for selling the water bonds all

them out in small lots as they were
needed His criticism was based en-

is lying unused in the banks the city is
drawing no interest on it. The So
called expert" Edmunds. thought he
had discovered a fine opening through
which to rap the Democratic admins
tration. He hadn't done anything OF
the kind.
Instead, he had simply made a dis
covery of great interest to the public
to-wit, that the city funds are not
drawing interest. or if they are. the city
is not getting the money. Can it be
that the banks, which cheerfully paid
interest to the city in Democratic ad-
ministration refuse to pay it in re
form" administration? Or is the money
going into the private purse of some
member of the reform" crowd. or into
the reform" campaign fund. We have
waited very patiently for answers tC
these questions. Not one has beer
forthcoming.

GOVERNOR cuMMlNs' VICTORY.

Inc SWteplnSly complete Victory won
by Governor A. B. Cummins in the
Iowa convention is most significant.
Cummins won every point for which he
contended. His opponents were routed,
horse, foot and dragons. They did not
have a real look-in at any part of the
program. The victory of Cummins is
the more striking because there was no
smell of snap judgment about it. The
question of tariff revision, of which he
is the most prominent exponent in the
Republican party today, was thorough
ly threshed out.
A strong man, George D. Perkins ed
itor of a prominent newspaper at Sioux
City, was selected months ago by the
''stand-patters" to oppose Governor
rotary Shaw and all the influences
Shaw could command. The battle was
carried into every county of the state
and fought out bitterly. The party ma
chinery was in the hands of Cummins'
opponents. They controlled the state
committee. The result of the county
conventions was the selection of a
large majority of delegates favorable to
Cummins. Out of a total of 1,64O. 945
were pledged to him absolutely, and a
number of others were known to be
friendly to him,
To offset this majority the state COM
mittee inaugurated contests by which
1t was hoped to throw out enough
Cummins delegates to make majority
for Perkins. That this plan failed at
the last moment was due to the recog-
milton by the machine of the fact that
if they carried it out they would ever
lastlngly disrupt the Republican party
in Iowa. Had Cummins been robbed
of the victory he had fairly won two
Republican tickets would have been
put in the field, one headed by Cum
minis and one by Perkins, and the re-
suit would assuredly have been disaster
for the ''stand-patters."
AS a Democratic newspaper, The
Herald would have shed no tears over
this outcome. But it must be confessed
that Cummins is a man to be admired.
When he began his fight for tariff re-
vision he began 1t practically SINGLE
handed and alone. Both United States
senators were understood to be against
him, and in it's first stages Cummins'
struggle was entirely uphill. Neverthe-
less he continued the fight because he
| believed in the business of his cause.
The proceedings in Iowa have been of
more than state interest. They have
attracted national attention.
And if Secretary Shaw ever really
had any grounds for believing that the
presidential lightning might strike him
they are cut. from under his feet now
as a result Of the crushing defeat that
! Cummins has administered to him.
