International Sports.

Now that Harvard and Yale have
agreed to combine and contest with
the Englishmen for the amateur
track honors of the world, it is fer
yently to be hoped that our cousins
across the water viii decide to come
over. As a matter of fact, it was
Oxford and Cambridge men who pro-
posed the meet for this year, so it
would seem that they cannot con-
sistently refuse 20 make the journey
now. It has been six years since
men of their universities were de-
feated by Harvard and Yale in New
York, surely a long enough lapse of
time to warrant another attack.

stroy any man who had to exercise

gresham.
But this is too strictly practical
a view. The fact remains that the
business of using Offices as means
of political bribery is wrong. The
system which makes this use of of
fees necessary is wrong. No mat
ter how good may be the purposes
of an official who makes such use of
the appointive power, it is bad bust
ness, and no special pleading can
make it anything but bad.

HEROES OF LIFE-sAvING SERVICE

You ask What the matter with Wash

Delegate Appointed by President.
1 believe We should have a delegate in
Congress. one who could speak inteIli-
gently for our city. I would have this
delegate appointed by the President and
confirmed by the Senate. I would not
change our form of government. but I
would continue II as an object lesson TO
other cities. Since 1875 when our pres
ent form of government, by three Com
missioners, came into existence, over
one hundred and eighty-six million dol
lars have been disbursed, and no charge
has ever been made that even one dol
lar of this amount has been misapplied
No greater tribute could be paid our

Remove ShGckS,
Old ShantieS,
And ROOkerieS
By ]. ADAM BEDE,
Formerly a Washingtonian; Now a
Member of the House of Repre-
sentatives From Minnesota.

There is just this fact to be remen-
bered: Washington has a great future
1t is just beginning to grow. Its beauty
is great today. but it viii be greater
and greater.
There is one thing 10 which the peO-
pie ought 10 address themselves, and
that Is the task Of removing from
otherwise beautiful sections the shaclz
and old rCokeries that deface certain
localities. These old shanties are the
homes Of poor PEOPLE. I believe that
the time is coming when the rich will
pay more attention to the Importance
Of housing the poor in comfortable and
decen: looking houses
In fact, that time IS not far distant
The movement has begun in some cities.
and il viii soon materialize here in big
proportions
Rich Should Spend Money
The attitude Of the American public
toward rich men is that the rich
should spend their money. should do
things for other people. You can't get
happiness out Of 500. 00O. eco, you
know. That's too much for happiness
If you're going 10 90 nothing but
hoard it up You have 10 do some
thing for other people with it in or
der 10 get happiness out Of it.
The American public knows this. and
the rich men know that the people
know II. Consequently. the rich are
spending more and more for other
people all the time. Washington will
profit by this in seeing its objection
abe. looking houses go by the board.
Congress VIII Help.
Congress win help in the move TO
beaUtify the city also. The people at
large are taking more and more pride
IN the Identification Of their Capital,
and Congress is voting in line with
that pride.
But the people Of Washington can
not rest supinely and leave all this
to the rich men and 20 Congress. They
must take up the matter and direct
the money Of the rich and the efforts
Of Congress into the proper channels.
II this way Washington viii indeed be

TINTIC SHELTER.
Manager Kadish States Work Will Be
Started Without Delay.


Bella Kadish, the smelter man, was in
Salt Lake Thursday. Mr.. Kadish is
the power behind the Ogden smelter
which recently was blown in, and of
which he is the present manager. When
asked by The Tribune representative
how the smelter was acting, Manager
kadish stated that IL was running with
out hitch, and that in every particu
lar the plant was q splendid success.
The company is getting very liberal
share of ore from both Utah and Ne
vada mining camps, as several months
We're spent in securing ore contracts
with the producers of both States be-
fore the smclter was warmed up.
The success Of Mr. Kadish and his
associates with this Ogden plant has
given them an additional impetus to-
ward the erection Of the smelter at Tin
tic. Mr.. Kadish stated yesterday that
the work upon this plant would begin
Immediately. There has been some
doubt expressed in local circles about
the intentions of the hackers of this
enterprise. but from Mr.. Kadish g as
surances it can he taken for granted
that the Tintic ore-eater is "A sure go,
and that it will be rushed to completion
with as much success as the Ogden plant.
Tintic is badly in need of this plant,
and the word that it will be started on
its career will be good news to innum-
erable mining companies that have large
tonnages Of low~grade ores on the dumps
and in the mines awaiting just such a
plant AS the interests concerned are to
construct.

The 1ngersoli-Sergcant Type A COM

the compressor will then be placed.
There are 200 feet of pipe for the com
pressor on the way 10 the mine from
the cars. and this will be placed while
the preparations for setting up the com
