nancial depression has given rise to
much pessimism and when, on account
of the low price Of the metal, the ex-
orbitant charges for smelling ores,
and the recent smelter smoke decision
by the United States supreme court,
some of the leading mires and smelters
of the state have been forced to shut
down, Senator Kearns' utteTence at the
banquet with reference to the eStab
lishment of new smelter clearly turns
the tide Of sentiment from pessimism
to grateful optimism.
The announcement of the opening of
thetnew smelteT. which until now has
been somewhat uncertain, was greeted
with great applause, and following the
banquet mining operators any investors
crowded about Senator Kearns to learn
more of the new movement. its scope
and the results that the senator hopes
to achieve by the project.
Another optimistic announcement
which created much satisfaction was
that made by D. S. Spencer. assistant
general passenger agent Of the Oregon
Short Line, in his talk on Western
Railroad Development" He declared
that@W H. Bancroft, vice president
and general manager of the road, had
received word from z. H. Hartman
that the building of the magnificent
new Oregon Short Line station at Salt
Lake, would proceed with vigor and
speed, despite the recent financial
furry.
The banquet was Eeld in the dining
room of the Commercial club, which
was decorated beautifully. American
flags were used as pOrtieres at the
entrance. The tables were decorated
with American beauty roses and red
carnations were laid beside each plate.

I am in favor Of the Galveston plan
for the government of cities. or better.
the Salt Lake City plan that was killed
in the Legislature last winter. This was
taken in part from Galveston, in part
from Washington, D. c., and in part
from the charters OF other cities The
plan was prepared by the Civic I'm
provement league of this city. in sub
stance, it was as follows:
Three commissioners and one auditor
we're to be elected at large in the city
and have control of city affairs. The
auditor was to be elected at a dinerent
time than the commissioners and was
TO have a check on them. The COM
missioDers were to have full power and
were to appoint the officers that are
now elective This would mean that
all men working for the city would be
appointed on their merits and not be-
cause of their political pull These COM
missioners would give all their time to
the city's business and would be acces-
slble TO the public at all reasonable
hours. All buying for the city would
be done by these commissioners. and
all contracts would be made by them.
-Four Of the present departments OF
the city government at least would be
placed under civil service rules-police.
fire, city cemetery and city parks.
Business of the city would be done
in businesslike way. Now if a per
son wishes to 60 business with the
city he must prepare a petition; this Is
referred TO a committee OF the city
council and perhaps pigeonholed for
months. II passes through many
hands, and IN any case 1t Is impossible
TO get prompt results. Under the other
system the three commissioners could
take the matter in hand and perhaps
dispose of it in five minutes.
Des Mc.nes, Ia, goes even ahead Of
this. There all wards and boards are
abolished and all power conferred IN the
commissioners. Parts OF the system
there are the recall and initiative and
referendum, including the compulsory
reference of all franchises to a vote ot
the citizens.

BARNETT THE
CHIEF SINNER
J. DalzeII Brown Not ReSponS-
IDLE for California Safe De-
post Company Failure.

San Francisco. Cal, Dec. zS.-"The claim
made by Walter ]. Bartnett that he had
no active part in the management OF the
California Safe Deposit, &, Trust company
has no foundation in fact. and is absolute
iy untrue" was the statement made to-
day by Assistant District Attorney Will
liam Hoff Cook. who has had charge of
the investigation into the affairs Of the
insolvent bank in which the money OF
1900 depositors is tied up. "BartneJt,
not Brown. as is generally supposed, was
the big stick in the bank, declared the
assistant district attorney. 'Bartnett was
vice president Of the company and my
investigation has disclosed that it was he
and not Brown, who was the active head
that was not first passed up to Bartnett
for his approval.
Trickster in Finance.
81 have examined a vast mass of cor
respondence which has not been placed
before the grand jury, relating to the af-
fairs of the bank and the various finan-
cial proposition its officials were inter
ested in From this correspondence | can
say that, to use simile Bartnett was as
great a trickster in finance as George Col
Inns the notorious attorney, was in law.
1.-THE correspondence examined by me
shows that BARNETT was day dreamer
with projects and schemes of various
kind constantly in perspective and that he
did not scruple to misrepresent facts in
order to interest people and to get con-
troll of their money.
''Bartnett's attempt to shift all respon-
sibiiity for the disappearance of the Col
ton securities, as well as for the failure
of the bank. upon Brown, will not sue
coed. Examination of the banks cores
pondence has revealed that BARNETT had
authority to stop Brown in anything that
he did not approve Of.
Securities Still Missing.
Cook reiterated that the stocks belong
ing to the Cotton estate alleged to have
been found in the vaults of the bank yes
terday were not a part of the missing
securities. 1.-The stocks referred to were
never lost or found. We knew where they
were and what they were" said he.
The assistant district attorney vehem-
emily denied the reports that Bartnett and
David F. Walker, president of the In
solvent trust company, would be given
immunity.
I'm my opinion Bartnett materially in
jured his defense in voluntarily testifying
before the grand jury yesterday" said
Cook las for Walker. the evidence
against him is more negative and circu 4
stantiaI but there is intention on the
part of the district attorneys office to
give him immunity and his connection
and responsibility will be laid before the
grand jury as soon it is through with

dianf, advocated the extermination of that tribe, saying that they were only good when dead. Such sentiments breathe the spirit of large section of the white race regarding the lesser breeds without the law"
 It seems that with the exception of the work done by Jesuit priests. Recol- let fathers, Moravians. Episcopalians, and a few other live missionaries. the native races have been left to the white man to succumb to his vices and cruelties.
 The Eskimo has been no exception to the general rule. It is true that his lands have not been taken away from him to any great extent He still may erect his igloo or his skin tent on the limited spot he pleases to occupy. But even the Eskimo has deteriorated un- der the white mans rule. The mis- sions that are teaching him to handle tools and pursue his real avocation as Ia fisherman and hunter are doing the most good to him.
 There Is much in Captain Siem's scheme for setting the Eskimo on the right road to independence and com- fort by putting him in the way of fol- lowing his natural life and of going back to his natural food.
 The captaip, will undoubtedly find much. prejudice to overcome in advo- eating his plan to improve the Eskimo race by intermarriage with the Jap anese. The Eskimo sadly needs the infusion of new blood. His close in- |termarriage has undoubtedly tended to deteriorate his people, and a fresh inter-racial or inter-tribal breeding is sadly needed. It is to be hoped that some such plan may yet raise the Es- kimo to his former status as a man and an integral factor in the evolution of the human family.

IRISH HOME RULE

Ireland is still bone of contention to the British house of commons. The government has devised a measure of home rule that is about to come before it for discussion. As usual, the ques- ton of home rule for Ireland has raised up enemies on all sides who ob- ject to the passing of such a measure.
 Premier Campbell- Zimmerman and the chief secretary for Ireland, Angus tine Birrell, devised the present meas- ure, which has many excellent fea- lures. Ireland will not get home rule in its entirety, but it would be fortu- nate if it got even such a measure of home rule as the liberal premier con- templates. The chief feature of the home rule bill is the creation of an Irish council that would be empowered to deal with local affairs. It would have under it's control the Irish local government board and the Irish board of works. The department of agricul- tuer and education would be under it's management. The council would elect it's own presiding officer. The bill is Fsu- framed that the powers. c4 the council may be enlarged should the measure prove beneficial.
 The council would also have admin istrative power through the control of the expenditure of the country. The Irish members of the house of com mons would be ex officio members of the new council. The unionists would be represented by a nominative ele- ment. The council probably would not control lord lieutenant, the privy council, the judiciary forces nor the crown police.
 It will be seen at once that while the new bill is a great advance over any that has hitherto been drafted it comes far short of what Ireland wants and needs. English statemen have been lamentably blind to the true na- ture of the Irish people. The average Englishstatesman distrusts the Irish people. He cannot conceive that the Irish can ever be permitted to walk about without English leading strings. The present British premier and the present chief secretary for Ireland are Scotchmen. They have strong sym- pathies with the Irish people.
 There are. however, elements in the liberal cabinet that are strongly op- posed to the bill. Herbert Asquith, the chancellor of the exchequer, and Richard Holdane, secretary of war. are bitterly opposed to the measure. They threaten to resign should the bill be put through in its present shape.
 The liberal government, which is one of the strongest cabinets that has ever been intrusted with the affairs of the empire, is thus threatened with dissolution over this age-long question. Home rule for Ireland split Gladstone's cabinet. It bids fair to disrupt the ministry of Campbell Zimmerman

PROSPECTS, FOR ESKIMO

Native races have been most unfor- tunate in their enforced contact with the white r.see. In every part of the world the native races have disap- peared before the white man. The islands of the. Pacific have been all most depopulated by the diseases that the white man introduced among the natives. The white mans invasion of virgin countries has always been &C., companied by the rapid disappearance of the peoples native to the soil.
 1t is question whether the natives |of any country profit spiritually by the religious teachings of the white man. In his uncivilized condition the native had simple laws. He worked out the Tex talionis" to his own satis- faction. He lived for centuries under the simple rule of ian eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth"
 It is true that the founder of Chris tianity preached another and a higher law. Thou shalt love thy neighbor as myself" Where, however, has the na- tive found the white man practicing this law? On the contrary. has he not found him greedy, grasping. robber Eof lands by the law of might, disre- gardfnl of the just rights of the weaker races? Has he not shot them down and caused them to perish with his bad whisky, rum and other nquors? Has he not thinned them out with his loathsome diseases?
