A LIFE OF ACHIEVEMENT.

Anthony w. WINS, the new apostle
appointed at this conference of the
Mormon church. is a good type of the
westerner whose character has been
developed by struggles with frontier
conditions. From boyhood to young
manhood and on to maturity of his
splendid executive powers. he faced
the desert of southern Utah and north
ern Arizona-and conquered it. After
he had won that fight he was sent into
Mexico to lead the pioneering work of
the church there, and again he has
conquered adverse conditions. Having
proved his leadership, his elevation to
exalted rank in his church organiza-
ton is only natural.
If the story of his experiences when
among the Indians of the desert could
be written, it would make a fascinating
tale of courage, of adventure and he
roic achievement. TONY" WINS, as
ably regarded his work then as COM
mon-place though interesting; and he
would likely be surprised to know any
one regarded it now as out of the or
binary; yet those who have heard de-
scriptions of the trials and difficulties
of those days still recall them as among
the best epics of that marvellous land
which lies between the Mexican border
and tho long line of hluffs which mark
the termination of the Wasatch range
along Arizona's contact with Utah.
With the recognition accorded his
church work, The Herald extends its
congratulations to the man on the full
fillment of an ambition which has been
justified by his enduring work for civ
ilization on the very frontier.

uOlY ROLLER FINANCE.

| Only the other day, the Holy Rollers
in Denver announced with great exulta-
! ton that the first real miracle of mod
ern times had happened to them. 1t
seems that the crowds attending their
conference used up the visible supply
of bread, so the good sisters of the
faith got busy and baked lot. Just
as fast as the crowd ate bread the
supply in the pantry was replenished
overnight by invisible means. Com
menting on the story. The Herald said
at the time that the Americans were
about as strong on claims as the Holy
Rollers. and the figures published Sum
day confirm the comparison.
The American" platform had, among
other gems. this declaration: ''The
citys finances are in far better condi-
ton than when the American admin
| istration took charge"
| Now the Thompson-Sheets admins
| tration took charge on Jan. 1, 1906, and
| the general funds of the city from
which operating expenses are paid,
showed a net credit balance on that
Z
date of $12951s.15 On Sept. 80, or the
close of last month. the American"
administration had overdrawn these
same funds $685., 261.s5. and had out
standing a large Indebtedness for paw
ing and other public work which is not
included in the statement. That is to
say, the city's financial balance a week
ago was a little over half a million
worse off than when the Morris admin
istration turned over the offices and
city cash to its successors.
Either the platform contains a cold
misstatement of fact, or else the
Americans" have the Holy Rollers
four laps to the bad on miracle-work
ing.

oopEN's OPPORTUNITY.

Scrutiny of the names placed in nom-
ination for city office by the Democrats
of Ogden ought to satisfy the most ex-
acting demand for a high-class bust
ness administration of city affairs.
From the nominee for the mayoralty
to every individual candidate for the
council, the ticket presented is of ex-
ceptional merit. Whether considered
alone or in comparison with the Re-
publican candidates. these men ought
to be the choice of everyone who cares
more for the welfare of the munich
pality than he does for political pref
erences in city elections.
In these days when the best-qualified
men are averse to office-holding, Ogden
is to be congratulated that so many
substantial, able business men are will
ing to accept nominations and serve the
city If they are elected. And just as a
matter of sound business sense. they
ought to be elected, because it is the
best opportunity Ogden has ever had to
get first-class men for its business
managers.

as business corporation. The fran
chise is limited to those who have an
appreciate financial interest in the
city, and consequently the average OF
the voters is higher in intelligence,
more interested in good government.
The average English city elects its
board of directors, who eject their
president, thus carrying out the an
alogy to the business corporation. If
our suffrage. for municipal purposes,
were restricted to the actual stock
holders, owners of property enough to
pay an appreciable tax. our average
voter would also be more intelligent
Salt Lakes experience demonstrates
the necessity for some system that
will eliminate politics and substitute
business management of its affairs.
Thanks to a Republican legislature the
Galveston plan, having this purpose in
view. was denied the city, although the
public generally desired it. The can
didacy of former Mayor Morris and his
associates on the Democratic ticket
offers a business administration along
the lines of the Galveston plan so far
as the municipal charter will permit
relief from intolerable political inter-
ference with municipal business af-
fairs
