nosToFFIcE SALARIES.

Business men familiar with the pub
lie service will not be surprised to read
that the postoffice department Is having
trouble in securing and retaining COM
netent employees because the pay is 100
email In nearly every branch of the
nostal service the rate of salaries has
heen maintained on a schedule estao-
1isbad wears ago when living expenses
xvere moderate and the supply Of good
man nlentiful. The curious desire TO
enter government service even at small
wages and the notion that IL was more
attractive than ordinary commercial
en,nIov attracted men at less wages
than similar work in other lines or &C
tivity. Now when commercial and in
dustrial concerns are seeking good men
and when intelligence and energy VIII
secure good pay in almost any direc-
ton. the government still hangs on TO
its old system and salaries with what
result might have been anticipated
II is no exaggeration to say that
DOStOfflCe eIDplOySSs AhNA'
clerks and others in responsible posi-
lions get much less money than they
could earn with the same exertion
elsewhere. Here in the west the de-
mand for competent clerks far outruns
the supply; and men of executive ca
pacity At for large responsibilities can
find situations waiting for them every
where. In the east, while the demand
is not so great. the really good men
can earn much better salaries in pri-
yate employ than they can in govern
ment service.
obviously there can be only one OF
two alternatives: the government viii
have to pay what it's work is worth OF
depend upon a poorer class of mer
than it can well afford to employ. II
| such a situation the decision to rais'
the pay of postoffice employees ought t.
be made Immediately.

coPPER's PHENOMENAL RISE.

Commenting on the copper market,
the New York Commercial notes the
unusual fact that on the day after
Christmas, when all markets are cup
posed TO be at the lowest ebb Of the
year, the price of the red metal adj
vanced TO "A cents for lake. a jump of
$40 in one day Actual sales were from
$500 to s11.2O a ton more than the open
quotations, and few sales reached 25
cents a pound.
A year ago i'm the same market the
price was - cents and the conservative
buyers predicted the limit would be
reached at 20. The good feature of the
advance from the producers standpoint
is the admission on al sides that the
rise is due to natural causes which have
brought consumption and prospective
demand to point far outreaching pro-
duction. In support of this belief it is
pointed out that Germany and Great
Britain are using at least % per cent
more copper than they cid year ago,
and the United States is keeping pace
with them. 1t is estimated the produce
ton during the coming year will reach
] OO0, 100000 pounds, or yone-fourth less
than will be needed BIZ consumers.
In the nature Of things the rapid and
heavy advance in price is bound to re-
strict the use Of the metal and slight
reaction would occasion no surprise;
but even a marked reduction would not
affect the producers. in such districts
rs Bingham, and Beaver county in
Utah, or Ely i'm Nevada, where copper
IS produced at remarkably lew cost and
dividends can be maintained at much
less than 20 cents IL need be
Altogether the outlook for The cop
per camps in this region is about as
rosy as could be. The improved meth
eds OF mining and reduction are con-
stantly reducing initial cost of produc-
ton, even with a raise in wages the
enormous bodies of low grade ore are
proving up bigger than any one had
ever anticipated, and in some cases, as
ut Newhouse. the grade OF ore has
improved so much that the Industry is
in better shape than the most sangu:nc
bad expected.
The unprecedented demand for copper
IS due in large part TO the use Of cleo
tricity on transportation lines. Inc ex-
tension of telephone and telegraph sys-
TENS, the extensive utilization OF cleo
trio power i'm machinery installation
and the growing tendency to replace
steam power with current wherever
ket for electrical equipment has been
big factor in the copper market. and
IL is likely to increase rather than d.

Our subterranean contemporary,
which fought vigorously and more or
less viciously for the election of Thomp-
son. now describes the mayor as "a
mayor who, however honest, has his
own private business TO look after. and
who can at best devote only a little of
his time to public business" That's
one of the complaints The Herald made
about the mayor when he was candi-
date for the office: it was one Of his
chief faults when ne was in Office be-
fore. and we are glad the subterranean
has come around to our way of think

THE Only PREsIpENr.

Apparently IL some people could have
their way, Theodore Roosevelt would
be president of the United States
life. The Herald has received the plat
form OF an organization styling itself
1.-THE Roosevelt Third Term National
League" The sole object of the league
nomination and election Of Roosevelt
in 1908. Some of the sentiments ex-
pressed in the platform are interesting,
though they can hardly be called i'm
portsnt~ For example: He Roose-
velt) has won the confidence of the peo-
pie; and this fact alone makes him the
most potent factor in the solution of
the present disturbing conditions. To
eliminate this ersonality-which is to
eliminate that confidence-at a time
when the people, as whole, are FESTIVE
and trembling with apprehension, is to
invite national disorder. So closely
woven is this bond between the presi-
dent and the people. that he has become
to them a public necessity, an essen
tial part OF things in the political and
social fabric. Therefore, Theodore
Roosevelt is not only the one logical
candidate for nomination. but manifest
" is the only logical president for the
people"
Seems to us that is rather laying IL on
with a trowel for Roosevelt and taking
It off with a steam shovel for the coun-
| try. We refuse 10 believe there is only
one man in the whole United States
who Is At to be president; we refuse to
so belittle the great men Of this gen.
Grafton, the great men in both OF the
prominent political organizations.
There has never been crisis In the
history of the nation without man 70
meet if. We do not believe history will
ever record the crisis without also re-
cording the name of some man who
measured fully up to 1t.
To saw that the elimination Of Roose-
Welt from national affairs-in the turn
of the wheel OF politics. OF course
would be an invitation to "nationai
disorder" is to state an absolute ao-
surdity. other men before Roosevelt
made good presidents, though ne MINI
self would be the last TO admit the
fact. and other men after him VIII
make good presidents. The fate OF TINS
nation is not and cannot be held in the
hollow of any mans hand. We have
grown too great for that.
Finally, Mr.. Roosevelt will not De
true TO his solemnly spoken pledge II ne
accepts another presidential nominal
tion. Time and again he has said tha'
under no circumstances will he again
he a candidate for the presidency. IL
he meant what he said-and sometimes
we are inclined to doubt 1.-THE THIRD
Term league is wasting time and mon
ey in it's propaganda.

pRovo,s CITY OFFICIALS.

Because they have enforced the
health ordinances of the city which
they are sworn to obey. the mayor
and marshal Of Provo have been made
the subject Of anonymous abuse. Of
ibeious postal cards and of open at
lacks from men who ought to know
better. An ordinance. like any other
law, is made to be observed by every
good citizen, to be enforced by the Of
ficials elected for the purpose. If there
is any extensive sentiment against
these particular laws their repeal could
he effected in a proper way. but so long
es they are part Of The citys code no
one but cowardly sneak would abuse
the official who enforced them.
There is another point TO the contro-
versy: Provo could get no worse ad-
vertising than agitation against health
ordinances. Beautifully located as the
Garden City is, and desirable as a place
of residence, to give public notice that
laws for the public health are obnox-
ious TO the citizens is equivalent to an
advertisement that would do infinite
harm. The best citizens of the com
munity recognize the Importance of
adequate sanitary measures. both as a
safeguard for those who live there and
as an invitation 10 homeseekers.
The ordinances which have been the
subject Of protest by anonymous objec-
tors are doubtless needed or they would
not have been passed. They ought to be
enforced and the officers whose duty
1t is to enforce them ought to have the
support of the whole community.

FOOT BALL.

At the end of a very interesting game
of foot ball played Saturday at Morris
Park, between Marietta High School
and Stone Mountain second team, the
score stood 27-0 in favor of the Stone
Mountain boys,
This team has played continuously
against one of the strongest teams of
the state since school began and had
also an advantage of ten pounds per
man in weight. Under these conditions
the result was not unsatisfactory to
High School enthusiasts. While every
man played good football, the work of
George and Copper excellent, being SUI
perior, so their opponents said, to any
thing they had met this fall.
Especially gratifying was the COM
ment by Prof. Guy A. Moore, who ac-
companied the Stone Mountain team,
He said, II never saw a pluckier, nor
more gentlemanly crowd OF fellows than
the Marietta team Though playing a
losing game, they never made foul
play, never objected to adverse decis-
ions of the officials and kept splendid
control of themselves throughout the
game. Stone Mountain was never ac-
corded more gentlemanly treatment"
His words embody the spirit and pur-
pose of football.
Two twenty-minute halves we're
played in one hour, which means that
no time had to be taken out for injur-
les or controversies.

Ordinary Methods for Treating Catarrh
Prove Unsuccessful

Recent statistics showing an increase
an catarrh have shaken the confidence in
medical men in the usual prescriptions
to safeguard human health from the
ravages of this disease.
When stomach dosing proved inef-
1ective, it was natural to look for some
sother treatment, and it is believed that
IN Hyomei an absolute cure for all ca
tarrhal troubles has at last been found
aBreathed through neat pocket inhaler,
It's healing medication reaches every
spot where there are catarrhal germs,
destroys, them, prevents their future
growth, and seothes the irritated mu-
cous membrane so that relief is felt al
most instantly, while lasting cure is
practically sure to follow.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
put 81, and is sold by G. M. Crosby &
70. under an absolute agreement to re-
!und the money il it does not give sat
lstaction. 1t is the only cure for ca
tarrh that has ever been sold under a
guarantee to cost nothing unless it
cures, but G. NJ. Crosby & Co. have so
much faith in its power to cure all ca
tarrhal troubles, that they are willing
10 take the risk, so if Hyomei does not
heip you, there will not be penny's
expense. Get an outfit at once on this
liberal plan.
