HAMBURG LINE CUTS RATES
To Mediterranean P~erts-Iooks Like q
Real Rate War.

hcui nate war.
The steamship rate war broke out in a
fresh place yesterday. The Hamburg
American Line announced to other mem
bers Of the North Atlantic conference and
to the Cunard line that its minimum rate
after September 1 TO Mediterranean ports
by the steamships Hamburg and Moltke
would be respectively $50 and 500. That
means a reduction of si5 by the Hamburg
and S. by the MoItke.
This is a slap at the Cunsrd Line and
practically a renewal of the old fight on
Mediterranean rates which was adjusted
" seasons ago. The minimum rate Of the
Cunard line by Caronia and Carmania Is
SOS, and Vernon II. Brown said he had not
been authorized 10 make any reduction.
IL was limited that the International
Mercantile Marine, controlling the White
Star, the Atlantic Transport. the Americn
and the Red Star lines, might be heard
from in a few days. There is a distinct
impression among shipping folk that a
ienl rate war is on.

HOW HE ESCAPED.
Saturday Evening PostD

Jim Hance, the Baron Munchausen Of
the tIrand canyon OF Arizona, was sitting
on the porch of the Ell Tovar one day
retailing his marvellous adventures to :
party of gaping tourists. Jim has lived
on the rim of the canyon for nearly halt
a century.
''Yessum.' he said to an inquiring lady
Il can shorely say them trails down I.
the bottom of the canyon is dangerous
OF course, they've got them fixed UP in
these days, so it is comparatively safe
but, when / began to- go down. l took my

young thing. do you ever fall over?''
Once" Hance replied-"only once. II

chasm four thousand feet deep. My ndle
was an old circus mule, and l carelesslike
began to whistle Turkey in the Straw.
You see, that mule had been trained tc
dance in the circus to that tune, and she
began TO dance right there on the edge
The natral result was that we both wen:
over the edge, plumb down four thousapd
feet to the sharp and cruel rocks"

TWO DIFFERENT MORANs,

1t pains and grieves The Herald in
expressibly to be charged by P. ]. Mo-
rams American" supporters with any
unkindly feeling for the official city
contractor and manager of the Amer
lean" administration. So far from be-
ing unfriendly to P. j., The Herald has
the very highest regard for him as an
individual. and an awesome respect for
his uncanny ability to extract money
from the city treasury. Further, it
holds that no man in Salt Lake is a
more companionable. enjoyable citizen.
He has the wit of the Celt, the tenacity
of the Dutch, the gentle manner of the
south; he is game to the core, loyal to
his friends-but what's the use of
enumerating his endless category of
charms?
What The Herald objects to In P. US
career, is not his personality or the
general character of his work, but the
unholy price he has been able to get
for it from his American" associates
In the city administration. Moran isn't
to blame for that; he wouldn't be hui
man if he failed to take everything the
administration is willing to give him,
1t was no crime for him to accept a
S70,O 900 donation from the American"
council for plastering a conduit that
would not have needed plaster if it had
been built right. On the contrary, Mo-
hi in1@
ers when he succeeded in getting the
$4,000 which was almost altogether
velvet
Let there be no mistake about The
Herald's position. 1t admires Moran
greatly as an Individual, but 1t is no
state secret that this paper, in common
with very large number of Salt LAX
ers, has mighty little use for the men
money than a Job is worth, and much
more than the city can afford to give
away.
1t is said in defense of the contractor
that he began his success as a public
works bidder under Mayor Morris and
a Democratic administration. Exactly
so; but there is no record of $4,000
presents to Moran by the Democrats
nor has there ever been a suggestion
that he was paid excessive prices in re-
turn for political support and campaign
contributions. In which lies the differ
ence between Moran when he worked
for a Democratic administration, and
Moran working for this American
administration.

and the fighting mood has taken pos
session of the very first literary effort
of the political season.
In a published notice calling his
brethren to arms Chairman Veile of
the precinct committee sounds his toe
sin thus:
"A caucus OF the Republican party Is
hereby called, said caucus TO be held
i'm the State House hall. on Tuesday
evening, Oct. Is. 1907, for the purpose of
placing in nomination a set of city Of
ficers for the coming two years, to be
voted upon at the Fillmore city cleo
ton. Nov. 5, 1907 This is strictly a Re-
publican caucus. not an independent
or mugwump' caucus. A full attend
ance is desired. Ladies specially in
vited to take part All turn out and
buck the whisky ring. Demonstrate
beyond a doubt that a drunken saloon
keeper cannot nominate our ticket for
US"
No foolishness about that chairman,
no waiting until the ticket is named
before the fight begins. no calm consid-
Grafton of candidates and issues. Not
much; the fight begins right in the
chairman's Office, and he takes a run
ming jump into the fray outside on his
way to the printers shop with the call.
If anybody is looking for trouble just
let him advise Veile, who carries it in
stock, and keeps office hours all around
the clock.
To be sure. the language is a little
ambiguous and might lead one to infer
that a saloonkeeper might be permitted
to name tickets If he would only keep
sober: but that is a mere detail. The
main fact is that the caucus call offers
a novelty in politics. and so is as well
come as cold buttermilk on the desert
in August.

MJHY NOT PUBLISH IT7

Official assurance is given by the
spokesman of the city administration,
that the special auditors report con-
tains nothing that need be concealed !;
that 1t is merely a plan for a change
in system of accounting; that all the
finances may be had by applying at the
auditors office or the treasurers office.
Well, if that is true. why should the
council refuse to give the newspapers
access 10 the special report? Surely it
would be an advantage TO the Amer
leans" to have their statements corrob-
GRATED and suspicion as to the nature of
the report dispelled. Automatically the
council ought to be anxious to have the
report published and the taxpayers re-
assured that their money has been
spent properly and the records of pub
lie offices kept correctly. If the con-
tents of the special examiners report
are harmless. if everything is we'll with
the public business. why delay about
publishing it until after the election?
IL is not true that a taxpayer can
get an intelligent statement of the
city's financial condition from either
the auditor or the treasurer. Efforts to
get so simple a thing as the condition
of the public funds for July 81 and
Sept 80 were unavailing until within a
week, when the demands grew too in
sistent and the officials were compelled
in elf-defense to give out the figures.
Moreover. the present system of ac-
counting in the auditors. office. a sys-
tenn devised by this administration is
one of the subjects for severe criticism
by the special auditors. There is no
suggestion of dishonesty. but there is a
very direct charge that the system is
so imperfect that none but an expert
can arrive at knowledge OF the real
financial conditions.
Again, in the license department, the
report suggests that a large sum of
collect licenses from merchants and
others who should pay according to
law. Barney Quinn, the license collec-
tor. seems to think the statement is a
reflection. a charge that there is a
shortage in his department. There has
been no charge of shortage in the sense
of funds that have disappeared; but
the experts say the city is not getting
the revenue to which II is entitled, be-
cause the collection and license tax
system is ali wrong. What the city
needs is legitimate revenue; it is not
getting its dues from men who should
be compelled to pay; and the experts
are right in recommending the installa-
ton of a system that will compel pay
ment.
Finally, unless the special report is
made public, it will take more than YER
bal or written assurance from the
Americans TO convince the public
that the document is as innocuous as
they say. They have a very simple
remedy for any injustice such a sus-
picion may do them; publish the report.

ELECTRIC SLEEP FOR ALL.
paris Cor. Boston Herald.)

NJ. Stephane Leduc, the eminent pro-
fessor of the School of Medicine at
Nantes, has recently discovered a
method of causing electric sleep. -
which, II is claimed, Will in the near fu-
ture replace chloroform and other an
esthetics ir all surgical operations.
The discovery proceeded from the
study of the effects of intermittent
currents and from the knowledge that
skull and brain offer but little resist
ance to the currents. For human be-
ing the current is of thirty-five volts
applied internationally in full strength
for minute fractions of second. Two
electrodes are applied to the skull in
a special manner, the points of appIi-
cation being first carefully shaved.
NJ. Leduc has made scores of expert
ments, says La Revue, on dogs and
on himself. All were successful The
application of the current on the head
is not dangerous. No i'll effects follow,
even when the experiment lasts for
hours.
The advantage OF electric sleep" are
numerous. Anesthesia by chloroform.
morphine or ether is disagreeable, rs
always dangerous, and has often
proved fatal. The awakening is pain

Gravitation Defied,

While it is usually conceded that
puns belong to "the lowest order of
witt there have been puns which
can hardly be classified in this way.
One of these is said to have been
made by Jeffrey Keller, an Irish
lawyer, who was more noted for his
wit than for eminence in his chosen
profession. A lawyer of the name
of Mayne, who was highly respect
ed but decidedly heavy person, had
risen to jldgeship, while Keller,
who had entered on his legal career
at about the same time with Mayne,
was still much in want of clients
and fees. He was in a courtroom
one day when Mayne was solemnly
presiding, and he turned to friend
who sat beside him and plucked at
his sleeve.
''See there!" he whispered. ''There
sits Mayne, risen by his gravity, and
here sits Keller, sunk by his levity.
