TO IMPROVE THE CONGO.

Negotiations looking to the transfer
of the Congo Free State from the per-
sonal control of King Leopold to the
Belgian government have been, it is
announced, practically concluded. At
the same time the hope is expressed
that this step will lead to a decided
betterment of the frightful conditions
reported as existing there. The admin
istration of Leopold, who has seemed to
regard the unfortunate negroes of the
Congo Free State as his personal chat
tells, has been unspeakably horrible
A heavy stakeholder in a great rub
Der company, he has aided and albeit
ted the agents of the company to COM
init unspeakable outrages upon the
blacks. Some of the methods of pun
ishment in common use would be abso-
lutely beyond belief If investigators
had not sent out photographs showing
them in all their horror. The entire
world has risen in protest against these
outrages. Because of them the name
of King Leopold is today a synonym
for all that is cruel and barbarous and
fiendish.
But Leopold gave no sign that he
cared. For, out of the blood and the
anguish of his miserable victims he
was coming thousands upon thousands
of dollars And Leopold was posing as
a Christian monarch, 1t is not exactly
true that he gave no sign of needing
the worlds outcry. Some months ago
he announced that he would appoint
commission to investigate the Outrages
appoint the commission, but every
member of it was appointed with the
certain knowledge on the part of the
monarch that the result would be
whitewashing of his methods. This, in
deed, was the result. In common de-
cenCy the commission was compelled
to report adversely on some actions of
the kings representatives, but the
finding was almost entirely in favor of
Leopold.
1t may be said that not much can be
hoped for as a result of the impending
transfer of authority. At the same
time it is pointed out that the king
does not exercise the same autocratic
control of the Belgian government that
he has been exercising In the Congo
Free State. Belgium has a constitu-
tional government. with a house of rep
resentatives elected by the people. The
people may be depended upon to do
is pointed out. if the government does
not show disposition to do the right
thing, it can be reached much more
easily by diplomatic representations
from other nations than the king as
an individual
AS it has been under the Individual

for every important office within his

The keynote orator said a good deal
about public Improvements, but he was
conspicuously silent about the way the
contracts for these improvements have
been let and the amazing regularity
with which bills for extras" have been
presented by Moran, tie pet contractor
of the administration.
The new administration had hardly
got the councils and mayors chairs
warm before it presented Moran with
about $4,000 as an extra" for plaster
ing the inside of a concrete conduit
which was supposed to be watertight
1t gave contracts for sidewalks to
mem who built the easy walks and then
refused to build any more. The admin
istration released them from the hard
jobs, and then awarded new contracts
for a much higher price to the same
men.
1t botched its engineering work, as.
for instance, on Second avenue, where
the botch will cost the city in the
neighborhood Of $4,000. needlessly.
Its principal leaders in the council
have laid themselves open to suspicion
of jobbery, and the whole administra-
ton has been so helplessly, hopelessly
Incompetent that the best men of the
party have given notice that they will
take no part in this falls campaign I'M
less clean sweep is made in every de-
partment from the mayors office down
to the janitors of the joint building.
And its browning achievement has
been a tax levy higher than any pre-
vious administration has ever made.
and this on an assessment valuation
higher by several millions than any in
recent years: yet Judge Weber by a
strange oversight neglected to refer to
the tax levy at all!
Full discussion of public affairs is de-
sirable and commendabie; and it was
never needed more than in this cam
well meet the record from the start and
fight on their dement's as well as
merits.
They have carried out at an extrav-
agant cost the program of improve
ments initiated by the Democrats I'M
der Morris and largely with funds left
them by the Morris administration.
They have depleted the city treasury
long before the taxes for the current
year can be available; they will close
the year with a deficit as compared
with the large surplus they found when
Norris left office; they have failed to
complete public work which was con-
traCted for and paid for before they
came into power: they have increased
unnecessarily the cost of other public
work. They have mulcted the taxpay-
ers for the benefit of P. ]. Moran; they
have given a disgraceful administra-
ton of the street department, and they
have increased the number and pay of
city employees beyond all reasona BILE
requirements
If the Americans" can win public
approval on their record they will be
right in thinking that the crop Of suck
ers in Salt Lake is as easy" as they
found the two Scotchmen who lost
$4,000 because they thought the police
of Salt Lake were meant to protect the
public from bunco steerers and other
criminals

COUNCIL HAS MORE STREET TALK
On Recommendation of Chairman Robinson
5000 Bushels of Oyster Shells Are Or
dered For Lower Commerce Street.

Town Council met in regular ses-
sion last Friday evening but little bus
mess was transacted The meeting
which was attended by all the members
with the exception of Councilman |
Stockly and Thornley,, was given over |
largely to the discussion of streets. |
The discussion followed report from
Chairman Robinson of the Street Com
mittee who stated that the work of
macadamizing Commerce street had
been completed from the Depot to
Main street and that instead of begin
ming al the -Four Corners on the lower
end of Commerce street, work was
taken up on the section between Mrs.
E. G. Voshell residence and the town
limits, that section Familiarity known
as "whopping" Despite the fact that
extra carloads of stone were ordered,
Mr.. Robinson opposed matchmaking
| this section and moved that Council
purchase 5000 bushels of oyster shells
at a cost of $500 which he contended
would make better job there than
stone. Before the motion was seconded
and passed there was much discussion
over the necessity of taking such a
course when there was already enough
stone in hand and when the finances Of
the town were at very low ebb
Chairman Stockly of the Finance Con
mittee was not present to post the
Council but Secretary Grieves figured
that the town would have little or no
thing to spare after paying it's cnrrent
expenses. Mr.. Robinson insisted anC
upon his recommendation Council
passed the motion to expend $500 IL
: oyster shells. 1t was suggested AM
readily acceded to by the Street Com
mittee, that the big iron roller be EN-
ployed on the whole length of the ma
. cadamized section from the Depot t.
