tee of the council last evening recon-
mended that Corey, Irving and Forest

AS Roosevelt street is surrounded and
embowered by large trees and is close

significant of the fact.

HEALTH REPORTS FROM PANAMA.

The dispatch from Washington this
morning, which attributes to Col Cor
gas, chief sanitary officer at Panama,
the statement that "health conditions
upon the canal zone arc as good as
they ever will be- is not at all re-
assuring Even with the decline in per-
centages of hospital inmates, that per-
centage is still high. This whole mat"
ter is gone into pretty thoroughly. from
the professional standpoint, In Ameri-
can Medicine for April,
That publication criticises the great
use of quinine in Panama, which it says
is "closc upon four grains daily per
CAPITA and ii intimatcs very plainly
that this must be largely Ga waste of
good medicine or else the optimistic
health reports from there are mlslead-
ing. Its leaning toward the latter Wow
is quite pronounced. 1t apalyzes the
latest full medical reports receivedj
from them it appears that 1900 cases
Of malaria were in the hospital in Feb
ruary, nearly five per cent Of the EN-"
ployees, with Is deaths from it; and
February was rated as healthy month.
There were only 500 cases of all other
diseases with so deaths. Infected mos
auitos were everywhere, but more pre-.
valent in certain places; the statement
being that "unless a man take at least
six grains of quinine daily, he is not
able TO resist the Infection which is In"
eyitable in spite Of care to avoid
mosquito bites" And the editor s com
ment on this is: "This is not pleasant
reading, nor is it pleasant to hear of
the delay in screening the houses, nor
to think of the possible consequences of
six grains of quininc a day for ten
years
The daily sick rate at Panama which
varies from % to per cent according
to the season. is next considered, the
Judgment being:
There are nearly 10000 employees, and
no civil community OF this size in the
temperate zone could support twelve
hospitals, and six dispensaries,, with
more than eight hundred trained
knows how many doctors Nor would It
need two thousand persons in It's health
department, Each bakers dozen of en-
plCyeeS making inc OlTr 1y require one
person TO keep diseases from them. These
facts must be mentioned by those foolish
people who claim that the zone is as
healthy any place in our South. The
reports OF excellent health do not seem
to be verified. Were IT not for an aEgres-
sve and extensive sanitary service. dis
ease would stop the work. The results
accomplished are really excellent. but arc
belittled by the optimism which conceals
tho real conditions, The men work at
great risk and deserve ppportionate pay
and protection
Which seems to be a safe and sane
conclusion as well MS an expert pro-
fessional one. In view Of the summary
and conclusion stated, it is not wonder
full that difficulty is being experienced
in finding steady and sufficient labor to
dig the canal, and that even Cinnamon
shrink from undertaking the Job.

which is perpetratcd by means of snper-
stitious belief; no immortality is so un'
clean as that which is covered by the
cloak Of spiritual sancity. All Of these
iniquities are practiced by Joseph f..
Smith, as the pretended prophet, seer,
and revelator of the Mormon church;
and at the same time he has the brazen
hardihood to profane all the sanctities
by the utterance Of such implous desc"
crations as that credited to him by his
own organ.
Surely day Will come when the
poor whom he casts into deeper poverty,
the honest people whose trust he abuses,
the earnest men and women OF whose
sincerity he make laughing stock,
will demand that in their loader shall
be action in conformity with their be-
liefs and his own professions. The
time must come when the women OF
the Mormon church will rise in vlrtuous
Indignation against the pervcrts who
amuse themselves with the family tic
as a mere plaything for the vandalism
Of lust-only to some time in the future
disown the partners of their lives and
compel mothers to confess that their
children have been born without the
rights of legitimacy.
And until the day of redemption from
hicrarchical tyranny shall come, Smith
and his polygamous coadjutors will con-
tinue to sicken mankind with their re-
pulsiye blasphemy

treaty in relation to the San Francisco
Root combated the idea that the con-
ferenccs on this question at the White
House were the parlcyings and compro-
misses of enemies, He says, in refuta-
tion of this, that they "were simply an
example of the way in which all public
business ought always to be conducted;
the different officials involved putting
their minds together so that there might
be concert of action All OF which
is cdifying and right TO the point; but
why was not this putting their minds
together so that there might be con-
cert of action entered upon before
the President sent his clustering letter.
Why was there not this "concert OF
action and official determination after
tho proper consultation, had before the
President announced his purpose TO sur
render to the japanese contention and
compel the schools Of San Francisco
to be conducted as the Japanese COY
crnmcnt demanded! The very explana-
tiou made by Secretary Root Is IN fact,
as the New York Evening Post points
out, severe condemnation of President
Roosevelt s methods in that matter.
Unfortunately, that is typical case
of the Presidential methods. Mr..
Roosevelt is far too prone, both in his
personal aud his official actions and
utteranccs, TO speak first and act first
and consider aftorward That is Pre-
cisely what gets him into so much diff
ficulty with various persons and various
organizations. He is impatient of the
due consideration that public questions
require He does not seem TO sense the
gravity Of making a decision or decla-
ration, nor seem to care whether his de-
cision stands or not, so long as he can
get the matter off his mind IN the pend
ing emergency And that is precisely
the sort OF action that n President of
the United States is not justified IN
taking. If President Roosevelt would
reverse his policy, and consider his acts
and utterances before making them IN
place of after, we would not have such
a spectacular President to(be sure, but
we would have one vastly more safe.

SERVING THE LORD.

"If We love to serve the Lord, there
is no difficulty in doing it, - said Joseph
F. Smith in the tabernacle last Sun
day-unless he shall choose to repud-
late the report published by the Des"
eret News.
1t is probable that the saints who
were under the sound of the prophetic
voice upon that occasion devoured the
hierarchical humor as being the very
soul of wisdom; forgetting-perhaps
never knowing-that on another oc-
cason much different presentation
was made by their chief high priest. 1t
was when he was testifying in Wash
ington that the Spurious One discredit~
ed his remarks of Sunday last, His
love of the Lord S service is expressed
in the following:
Senator Overman.-If that is revela-
tion. are you not violating the laws of
God?
Joseph f. Smith, have admitted that,
Mr. Senator, q great many times here,
Answering other questions put to him
by distinguished members of the Senate
committee, the befudddled seer stated
that he obeyed OF disobeyed the Al
mighty at his own sweet pleasure. All
Of which goes TO show that the chief
polycamlst of the Mormon church IS
the apostle of lip-seryice and the ex-
emplar of hypocrisy. He is a shammcr
whose principal delight is to imprint
upon the gospel of his adherents the
kiss Of Judas He is the one man of
all earth's inhabitants in whom the
saints believe ls reposed the trust of
the Father, And yet he makes bold
to say that his will is of superior mo-
ment to that of his Principal. Joseph
T.. Smith knows himself 10 be BIAS
phemer Of the name Of God he is per-
sonally aware that he is an animated
fabrication for deceptive purposes;
that his pretended service of the Lord
is an insult TO common intelligence and
decency, that he is conscienceless
peddler of bosh for personal gain; that
his righteous pretensions are the mere
inventions of a trickster.
Contrast the act of the law breaker
with the utterance of the sophist-both
represented in the one person. Fancy
the roll-eyed holiness of the tabernacle
Smith and the insolent defiance of the
! Washington Smith. And imagine, if
/ you can, that each attitude is represent
/ ative of the daily conduct of the one
inspired - individual.
But, look you, out of it all comes that
precious two millions year. Men have
been known to do even less for more
money, but none has ever done worse.
No Misrepresentation can be so villain
Gus as that which imposes upon inno-
cent people in the name OF God no
crime can be so vile as that which is
practlced in the name of religion; no
! robbery can be 80 reprehensible as that

OUR IMPULSIVE PRESIDENT.

The inconsiderate nature of President
Roosevelt's sayings and acts are well
e1empG6ed in the letter sent out by
him in reply to his structures on Meyer
and Haywood, He defends his previous
condemnation of these men rs "unde-
sirablc citizens,'' and couples with
them, apparently in the same connec-
tion, President Hartman, of the Pa
cifc railway systems. Apparently he
considers Mr. Hartman also an Sun
desirable citizen" properly mentiona.
Bile in the same connection as his
structures upon the labor leaders. There
is plenty of good reason for objecting
to the classification of Mr.. Hartman
with those men; and to give the chief
objection, of course, it IS not necessary
to go further than to say that Mr.. Har-
riman does not in the least stand before
the law in the same relation that
Messrs. Haywood and Meyer do. It
is undeniable, therefore, that the Presi-
dent was altogether unjustifed in class
ing them together IN his letter.
The Presidents impulsive way Of
conducting public business is of the
same character as his impulsive and i'll
considered letter writing. His contro,
versy with the Storcrs is still fresh in
the public mind, and to say that it was
so undignifed as to be entirely I'm.
worthy to come from the White House
is a mild statement of an unwholesome
fact.
The President 8 sudden changes of
purpose with regard TO the directorate
and management of the Panama canal
have awakened distrust in the public
mind of his good Judgment. Time af-
ter time the public has been assured that
now, and at last, the right men and the
right methods have been settled upon
TO conduct the business of digging that
canal. And about as soon as the public
mind has settled down comfortably to
that realization, there would be another
npheaval; change not only in the per-
sonnel of the management, but in the
organization throughout.
In his treatment Of the San Francisco
school question, the President. as is
too much his custom, acted first and
considered the case afterward. His alb
surd threat IN his official letter, that
he would bring to bear the power of
the army aud navy of the United States
against the San Francisco school board,
was so evidently a silly piece OF emp
ty buster that no possible attention
could be paid TO it, The matter WAS
finally considered IN Washington, and
the President obtained partial vic
tory in that the schools were thrown
open to the japanese children of proper
age, excluding adults; but this partial
triumph was offset by an agreement
with the President that Japanese Ia
Dor should be excluded from the coun-
try. On this matter, Secretary Root. in
his address before the Society Of In.
ternatlonal Law at Washington, gave his
attention TO the law of the japanese

PROGRESS WILL NOT STOP.

The Tribune is glad to sec the effort
making by the City Council and city
officials to keep on with the public i'm"
provements necessary to the progress of
the city, in spite of the Inhibition
sought to be set upon them by the
Smoot political machine. The "amend'
ment smuggled onto Senator Benner n
Smith IS bill in relation to public I'M
provemcnts seemed for a time TO be an
estoppcl on progress. We understand
however, that City Attorney Hlles,
while adhering to his first conclusion
that the intent of this amendment
was to compel separate advertising,
separate bids, and separate contracts
for every separate piece of property to
be included within any area of improve
ment, thinks there may be ways Of get
ting on, nevertheless. The willingness
of some of the contractors to proceed
under the old law, indicates that there
are other statutes that will come into
bearing in case any opposition is made
to the progress Of work as advertised
and LET.
The Tribune unreservedly commende
this spirit of progress In the Council
and among the contractors. II was our
idea from the first, that efforts should
be made to get on with the public lm-
provements in spite of the seeming OBJ
stacle put in the way by the legislation
put through by the Smoot political ma
chine. And now as the contractors show
willingness to proceed regardless or
attempted hindrances, we trust that eV-
cry encouragement will be given by the
Council and other American officials TO
support them and speed along the work
A very large area of sidewalk improve
ment was outlined in recent advertising
for bids, We trust that the contrac-
tors in this will take example from
the contractors in other lines of work,
and be disposed to come forward and
do the necessary work oil some adjust
ments that may be found possible under
the law The example set with respect
to this by Mr. Moran on paving con-
tracts, and Mr.. Percival in sidewalk
contracts, are worthy of emulation and
following IT is TO be hoped that
enough public~spirited contractors may
be found who, upon ascertainlng that
they are not likely to be left without
payment on any public work that they
NAV do, will take hold vigorously and
help along the work of Improvement,
sustaining the Council in It's laudable
efforts to spread that improvement over
as wide an area and make it as effect
i've as possible, SO that the city may
enjoy the advantages Of a good season
of active work and profitable employ
mcnt for labor,
Salt Lake City cannot afford to stand
still, and every effort must be made to
keep progress moving along. All good
citizens should aid in this, whether of
fcials, contractors, or private lndivid-
uals. The watchwords must be Pro
eress, Advance, Improvement And
with these watchwords all should unit
edly march forward, confident in the
triumph of Justice and in the future
of Salt Lake City as the great metro
polls of the whole mountain country.
