promised to do, it cannot make a bet

from his job about Monday morning.
E%#
Another department of the admins
ration deserves more than passing at
tention, and that is the city engineer s.
Only short time since Mr. kelsey re-
commended the payment of over SO, 00C
TO Pat Moran for completing the con-
duit before the contract time The sum
was contested by the board OF public
works and finally cut down to one
fourth the engineers estimate. Now
comes the same official and recon-
mends the payment Of 81, S37.66 to the
same contractor for extra excavation
on the same job. What with the plas-
tering extras, the short-time bonus and
this extra excavation extra, Mr.. Moran
stands TO add to the contract q very
comfortable fortune Then with the ex-
tras for repairing the reservoir at the
mouth of Parley's canyon, where the
conduit discharges into the city sys-
tenn. the conduit bids fair to absorb all
and more, of the bond issue voted by
the people.
The city engineers recommendations
may be entirely honest and legal, and
the work may have been needed, but on
jobs OF the size shown by the sums
asked proper protection OF the public
interest ought to have been afforded by
such bids and other safeguards as at
tend any other work done by other con-
tractors. When competition is barred
in public work. as It has been by this
administration, the appearance of sue
cessive extras" and incidental emolu-
ments for the favored contractor natur-
ally give rise to suspicious that Justify
close scrutiny of appropriations. II
the extras" are to be continuous per-
Torrance. as they bid fair to be, the
public would like to know how much
longer the performance is going to con-
tinue and what the total cost will be.

THE FORT DOUGLAS MATTER.

A careful perusal Of The Herald's
washington report on the status Of the
Fort Douglas appropriations, and the
dispatch OF Senator Smoot on the same
subject shows that there should be no
cessation Of effort in behalf of the i'm
provements needed at the post. SEN
ator Smoot says the secretary of war
and quartermaster general concur i'm
recommending the erection of three
double barracks at an estimated cost
of $l60,500. and they have no intention
of receding from this recommendation.
SO far that is all right, but the re-
commentators are i'm general appro-
priation bill carrying huge sum.
which viii probably be curtailed when
the committee of the house and the
senate get at II. There will be a fight
by every interested member of both
houses TO retain the specific sums in
which each member is concerned. In
the scramble Fort Douglas is Just as
apt to suffer as any other post unless
the congressional delegation from Utah
gets busy and stays busy through the
whole hearing. The clubs and organi-
cations behind the movement to make
Fort Douglas a great post should keep
up their activity and maintain this ac-
tivity until the appropriation bill is
passed.
Another thing: The officers quarters
at this post are a disgrace to the gov
eminent, as every officer who has had
IN
years ago, have no modern conve-
niences. are expensive to heat and keep
in repair, and are utterly Inadequate
for their purpose. The modern barracks
of the privates are in some respects
much more comfortable and desirable
than these houses OF antique architect
ure and construction in which the com
missioned officers have to live.
No matter what the fate of the pend
ing appropriation, Salt Lake should
keep up the agitation for the moderni-
cation Of the whole post and it's con-
version into a full regimentaI post at
least. In time it ought to be built and
equipped fer a full brigade, as Senator
Warren's Fort Russell at Cheyenne is.
In climatic and sanitary surround
Sings, in water supply, convenience for
post supplies, adequacy of transporta-
tion facilities and in Importance as a
strategic point, Fort Douglas is better
situated than almost any other military
command in the west. 1t has been neg
lected by congress because the Utah
delegation has not been able to COM
mand as much influence in army mat
tiers as others, particularly Senator
Warren; and it is time for the senators
and congressman from this state to get
action on this most important matter

MUNICIPAL CURIOSITY.

To the average business man the eff
fort OF the city council to get Street Su-
pervisor Raleigh to itemize his requi-
methods. In the particular instance
debated in the council last week the
requisition amounted to $3,294.44 AL
though the council had instructed Raj
eigh 20 itemize his accounts. he refused
or failed TO do IL until he was brought
pcration the bare effrontery of subor-
dinates assumption that he could spend
money without specifying the details
and purposes for which each amount
was to be used would result in his i'm
mediate discharge; and it is a striking
commentary on the system in vogue
that any question about II was ever
raised.
Not only should every item of city
expenditure be specified in advance,
but it should be approved in advance of
the expenditure by the proper council
committee whether in a general esti-
mate or in itemized acquisitions. Mr..
Raleigh seems to have acted on the
theory that as head Of a department
no could do as he pleased with city
funds, and in this theory he has been
partially sustained by the administra-
ton, which has persisted in keeping
him in office long after he had demon
strated his unfitness for that or any
other executive position in the NUM-
ripality. His management of the street
department has been the worst the city
mas ever seen, and his attitude toward
his superiors has been enough of itself
10 indicate that he has no appreciation
OF the discipline that is necessary in

are instances, I suppose, Of both the
diamonds and the loss being genuine.
Shall we say, then, that Annie Dirkins,
the Baroness Won Hammerstein, didn't
lose her garters on the night OF her
American debut? 1t is certain that
they were not where they should have
been. Annie is one Of those German
soubrettes whose piquancy is plump,
and-but first as to the play. "How
Men Are Charmed is a German trans
lation of the French comedy which we
got in the English of 1.-The FOUNDERS. "
But in that version the now dead and
then slowly dying Dan Daily had nei-
ther the cheek nor the vim to enact an
old rake with the original Partisan mas
tiness. New York now gets in Ger
man, at Herr Conrieds temple of dra-
matte art in exaltation, the piece with
its French qualities increased by a
frank Teutonic rendering.
Annie Dirkins, the Baroness Won
HammerStein, was introduced as a wife
who was neglected by her sensual hus-
band while she was plain and prudish;
but when, under the direction of one of
his paramours, she developed from a
dull moth to a brilliant butterfly, he
mistook her for a new flyer and eagerly
begged her. 1t was in a scene where
Annie pretended to be a beauty Of the
ballet. with a gown that stopped at
her knees. and showed how some men
are charmed by women, that her gar
tiers were missed. When she began TO
dance. her stockings began to sag. An
MES limbs are not of the kind thar
have knees calculated to check the &C
ton Of gravitation as applied to hosiery
not fastened at the top. She SHE'D be-
hind furniture, and used other women
as screens, to hitch up those sizing
stockings. But how could the specsa-
tors expect her to borrow two pins, ana
stick the stockings fast to-weli-'o
whatever there was to pin them To-
while the people were so thrilled rapt
and highly entertained? OF course the
baroness was awfully ashamed. For
those fifteen hundred witnesses Oh her
dreadful mishap would go right OUT ara
talk about it. and other thousands
might be induced thereby to come ana
see her. And what would Herr Conrleo
say?

The Silent Room curs.

Society women are all going in for
cures of one sort or another, from re-
pairing nervous systems by buying
new gowns and fripperies and parad-
ing at German "Bader'' to taking the
sand cure. The cure for social col
lapse is the silent room, where one
can have spasm of quiet now and
then, says the New York Press. The
rooms must be as cell-like as possible;
no knickkno clls nor even flowers are
permitted, so that the eye which is
used to overornamentation is rested by
simplicity. of course the victim must
be entirely cut of from telephones,
messages. electric bells. electric lights.
callers and social secretaries. How it
must surprise the mother of eight in Il
fiat to hear that many millionaires are
building silent rooms in their abodes!
