IMPARTIAL EXAMINATION.

An apologist for the POLITICAL made
urgency for letting the conduit con-
tract says In his simplicity that the
reason why the concrete leaks Is that
the concrete is not up to the specifica-
tions; that the proposition to plaster the
inside OF the conduit is wholly unneces-
sary: and that Mr.. Doremus was the
consulting engineer. which proves, he
not being q church Democrat, that
there was no politics In the procedure
under the Morris administration. All
OF which Is exactly the reverse OF the
truth. The concrete Is admitted to be
even better than the loose and hurried
ly-prepared Specifications call for, IL is
matter OF common knowledge that
inside cement plasterlng will prevent
leakage; and Mr.. Doremus expressly
testified that he was not consulting en-
gineer, but only third or fourth assist
ant" Which establishes the fact that
the Morris administration, In giving
out that Mr.. Doremus was consulting
engineer, endcavored to allay public
suspicion by perpetrating a confidence
game and deliberate fraud on the peo-
pie.
But there Is very easy way to get
at this matter, and have the facts and
the exact situation put before the peo-
pie precisely as they are. Let the speci-
hcations and the work be gone over by a
competent engineer who has had moth
Ing 10 do with thn h,g 20 a
who VIII make report on his honor and
on his reputation in his profession. 1t
Is eminenuy desirable that such a re-
port should be made, and that il should,
besides stating the present condition OF
the work. noting whether the specihca-
tions are being fully met. and giving
the summary of all to date, should also
outline what is defective, II anything.
In general and in detail In location.
specifications, and work. and what is
best to do TO make the conduit what II
should be. We need not be at much
trouble or expenditure of time In get
ting such an engineer, and the money
II would cost would be we'll spent. For
that examination and report we should
be quite willing to accept Col, Willard
Young. who has had much experience
in the hydraulic portion OF his profess
sion. He put In the Government work
at the Dalles, and was strongly sup
ported for position as engineer on the
Panama canal He was recently in this
city, perhaps he is here now. If the
Council could obtain his services for
this work. we believe that the public
would have full faith and confidence in
the result of his examination. and also
in the recommendations that he would
make.
We suggest Col Young because we
believe him to be as competent for this
service as any man; because he Is free
from all local entanglements on this
question: and because we are confident
that what he might say or do would be
on honor. and in absolute good faith.
And we feel sure that his report would
settle the whole matter. and settle It
right. for he knows what good work Is,
and what ought to be done TO assure II.

ural: but for women 1t is atrocious.
Against the expert testimony OF
Apostle Smith we place the heart cry
OF a Mormon woman whose husband
was about to enter polygamy with the
wife said oh! Do not marry my
sister For God will hold IT against
me as a sin that / shall hate my own
sister" She knew that she would hate
the plural wife, and her sole prayer
was that 1t might be some other than
the daughter OF her own mother.

COMMISSIONERS GRAFT.

The showing made in yesterday
mornings Tribune Of the way the Com
missloners of this county construe the
allowance Of their expense account was
Illuminating on petty and despicable
graft. The law allows not to exceed
three hundred dollars year for their
expenses In attending meetings of the
County Board. But this amount is only
to be drawn II on vouchers itemizing
the actual expense It is shown that the
amount has been necessarily expended
In going TO and returning from the
meetings..
1t does not, for instance. contemplate
that a Commissioner who may live n
few miles out OF town shall own a horse
and buggy and come to town Herewith,
nearly every day, and charge the coun-
ty $3.50 day for the trip, 1t does not
contemplate that while doing this, a
Commissioner shall have his horse ia
ken care OF on those trips free Of ex-
pense. at the county farm. 1t does not
contemplate, in short, that the three
hundred dollars shall be a nasty little
grab, to be added by hook or by crook
to the compensation of the Commits
sioner.
And yet, that Is the way the law has
been construed, and the grab made. At
that rate, a Commissioner could buy a
horse and buggy and pay for 1t twice
over, during his two-year term, be-
sides paying all expenses; and II he
had the free use Of the county hay and
oats, and the free use OF the county
barn. he could save a pocket full Of sill
yer besides
1t appears that Commissioner Mackay
exhausted his three-hundred- dollar tap
on the treasury In seven months In 1905,
all except ten dollars which he prompt
ly raked In on the eighth month, and
then he ceased drawing, but now inti-
mates that he may yet file a claim for
the four months-an intimation that Is
absurd, since the accounts of that year
have been closed. as he very well
knows. And the limit I'm the law would
bad one for him.
Commissioner Miller began the year
gaily with his little rake-off of twenty
five dollars q month for two months.
But his attention was called to the lle-
gality Of this. and he desisted for three
months. then began again on a reduced
scale, charging for his automobile rides
out into the country, itemizlng as to
rides, but not as to amount for each, as
the law contemplates. and as a self-re-
specting man ought to do. He had this
sort of an expense account" for four
months, the last being a combination Of
two months. and trihlng in amount.
Commissioner Wilson "sworc off" af-
ter pocketing the graft for three months
and being shown that 1t was Illegal.
The seventy-flve dollars, no doubt moro
than repaid all his actual, genuine ex-
penses. as meant In the law. for the
whole year.
We have not the slightest doubt that
the county side of the joint building IS
permeated thoroughly with graft, and
that a complete exposure OF 1t would
make reading such as the graft hunter
specialists of the East would take de-
light In dragging forth to the blazing
light OF public contempt

MEN NEED GAY CLOTHES.

When men rashly abandoned the
bright costumes that charmed the other
sex they saw their finish.
Miss Repplier thinks women were
wise as serpents In not abating glad
clothes, or words to that effect. Dress
enhances woman's beauty and conceals
her defects. Her garb is her weapon.
She is following nature. as the bright
plumaged birds. and nature gives her
ascendancy.
And there you are.
The situation seems hopeless
Either man must go back to velvet
knee breeches and gold buckles. slashed
doublet, lace trimmings, feathered hat
and lingerie, or let woman go on DOM

JOHN HENRY'S VIEWS.

Hon. John Henry Smith is the debo-
naIr apostle Few, indeed, of the lead
ers of the Mormon church have been as
popular with Gentle men as he. John
Henry Smith Is a mans man and a
manly man. In politics and business
he has attuned himself to the spirit
of the rest of the world; and. except
poses, he has been Of fraternity with
mankind In ordinary affairs.
However, when Mr.. Smith gets to
talking on polygamy or anything else
that he calls a part of his religion, he
usually sets aside all of the qualities,
all of the methods and all OF the man
ners that mark him as a man of COM
mon sense and in other respects good
citizenship; and then he goes to an ex-
treme quite as redical as is character
istic of the family to which he belongs.
Apostle Smith has been interviewed at
Washington and testfies that when the
Supreme Court decided against the
Mormon people on the question of
polygamy, which they had claimed as
a right of their religion, he abided by
the law
That decision of the Supreme Court
was rendered in 1878. Mark the date
we'll
Later, in 1882, owing to the inability
Of the Courts 10 convict for the Of
fense of polygamous marriage cere-
mony, the United States statute pro-
vlded a penalty for unlawful cohabi-
tatIon to reach the offense OF continu-
Gus polygamous living. Mark that date

This is the testimony of Apostle John
Henry Smith before the Senate Com
mittee on Privileges and Elections.

And that Is the way Apostle Smith
has adhered to the law Further COM
ment upon his personal case Is unnec-
essary; but the public should begin to
realize what a monstrous misconcep-
ton abides In the minds OF the hle-
rarchy Of what law is and what is pub
lie duty and what is the sanctity of OBJ
legation when given to the Government
of the United States. In one breath
these men acknowledge the facts which
the next breath contend that they are
blameless before the law
1t is this pernicious example and
teaching which demoraliaes their whole
community; leaving In the minds OF
their followers disrespect toward
government and an utter disregard OF
statute or alleged revelation from God
so long as the Individual can be per-
mitted to have his own way without
costly consequences II Is this which
makes social students and patriots so
determined against the teaching and

THE IDEAL BEAUTY
Cleveland Leader.

Cleveland Leader.
A famous German scientist, who has
made a life study OF the beauty or ~o-
men OF all nations. considers that he
found the most perfect and harmonious
development of form among the Japan
ESQ His ideal proportions differ slight
ly from the standard OF beauty left us
by the Greeks, and he gives the follow
ing as his normal proportions or the
perfect figure from averaging the
measurements OF many;
'sThc height should be seven and one
half times the length of the mead, ten
times the length of the face, nine times
the length of the hand ana tne lGse
four times the length OF the head The
shoulders should be two heads VIDE,
and when standing erect perfectly de-
yeIoped legs should touch at the knees.
the calves and the ankles.
Here, however. are some other meas
urements which artists generally recos-
niZe as standard for beauty. The
stretch of the thumb and middle hnger
should Just measure the length of the
face: the thumbs and second fingers
should exactly circle the neck, While the
thumbs and middle fingers should ex'
actly circle the waist. With arms
fully extended on a level with tho
shoulders the perfect woman SHOULD
measure exactly her height from the tip
Of one middle finger TO the other, "hle
the arm hanging down should reach eN-
actly half way down the side.
with regard 10 other features of Ideal
beauty, IT is interesting to note that
many painters consider that hair which
is luxuriant long. and more or less
glossy In appearance VIII often trans
form an otherwise plain looking girl IN
to one OF great attractiveness. On tho
other hand, eyes which are too small or
too large, too close or too far apart.
too round or that follow a slanting d.
rection, detract from beauty. Well
formed eyes should be neither too wide
ly opened nor too closed. Protuberanco
and sinking of the eyes are both imper-
fections that detract from the beauty OF
tho countenance,
