that so and so in some department
under his jurisdiction does not do the
work which he ought TO do The reply
is made: ''Why do you not make him
do it or remove him7' When the
Mayor has power 10 do this there is no
back talk from HIM TO the citizen who
wants relief from bad conditions. The
Mayor is bound TO respond or per.
sonally take the responsibility of his
refusal. The City Council In such
cities attends to the law w-making depart
taxes, makes appropriations, aud
dcsignatcs what shall be done in the
way of public improvements, and
what the same shall cost, The Mayor
then proceeds to have the work done.
He is also responsible for the general
administration, the health and good
public service of the city,
We believe that this form Of
amended municipal administration
would be much better adapted TO Salt
Lake than the Galveston idea. 1t
leaves The control of the taxation and
expenditures of money in the hands
of the representatives of the people
the Councilmen whom they elect. 1t
holds the Mayor responsible for the
carrying out of the ordinances and for
the executive departments generally, Of
the city administration. 1T does not
allow the Councilmeu TO hold the Mayor
up on appointments nor to compel the
division of "pie' for their per-
sonsl service and personal ends.
Every good purpose expected to
be obtained by the Galveston
proposition could be obtained by this
remedial legislation, which is in strict
accord with American sentiment and
conforms precisely TO the American
idea of the distribution of powers as
between the legislative and cxecu.
tive, We recommend, therefore. that
the waiting for the failure of the
Galveston bill to be passed, shall
cease; and that the next time an effort
is made for the betterment Of The
city government. it be made strictly
along the lines above suggested and in
accord with American ideas and
principles, as put into practice and
effect generally throughout the country.

IMPORTANT CONVENTION.
Logan Journal

One OF the most important conventions
Of tho year in Utah will be a congress
of the dry farmers OF the State 10 be
held In Salt Lake on April and 10, as
per the call published elsewhere in this
issue. One OF the purposes will be to
form State Arid Farming association.
Largely due to the successful experiments
In arid farming under the direction OF
the Agricultural college experiment sta
don. upon experimental farms in south
ern Utah, dry farming has advanced by
leaps and hounds in that section OF the
State, until IL IS probably the greatest
factor In the upbuildlng OF that part of
the State, and bids fair 10 double or
treble It's wealth and population. The
college and its experiment station should
have host of warm friends In that part
of the country.

COTTON STAYS UP
 ON THE TOP LIMB After Opening Lower the Mar ket Makes an Advance VARIOUS RUMORS AFLOAT Shorts Are Uneasy, While Bull Lead CTS Are Just Aggressive Enough
 To Keep Prices Around
 the 11-cent Mark.
VARIOUS RUM0RS AFLOAT

New York, December 3.-After quite a sharp advance led by December during the early session, the cotton market re- acted and ruled quite irregular in the late dealing with the tone steady, at an advance of 13 points on December and ? points higher to points lower on later months. Sales were estimated at 350,O00
 The market opened steady at a decline of to 10 points in response to disap- pointing cables, scattering liquidation and local selling. The market quickly rallied, however, on more encouraging advices concerning trade conditions in New England, the evident uneasness of December shorts, @ renewal of Wall street bull support, and active covering by brokers supposed to represent one of the largest of the local short interests. December sold 50 points above January and IS points over the closing prices of last night, while the active later months worked up to a net gain of to points. Around 11.02c for March offerings in creased, there were rumors that De- lcember short line of 30,000 bales had been sold privately and there were indications that the Wall street bulls were taking profits. Consequently the market react ed to about the opening figures and later in the day ruled quite irregular with To- cal sentiment confused by varying ru- mors concerning the Wall street bull pool and conflicting advices as to trade conditions.
 Early cables from Liverpool reported that a strike in Manchester was feared, but later advices said that labor troubles were practically settled. It was reported during the day that many of the New England mills which had closed down before Thanksgiving were resuming op- erations and that some of the orders for cotton goods, which had been cancelled, were being reinstated. Receipts at the ports today SO,147 against 67,O25 last week and 74.S74 last year. For the week, 325,- 900 against 3S3,320 last week and 426,S7O last year. Today's receipts at New Or leans, 15,622 against 15,17s last year, and at Houston 13350 against 24,525 last year.

would involve conditions that would be viewed with some anxiety.
 The tone of public addresses published this morning by financial leaders of rec ognized information and accepted author ity, especially on the position or the possible extent of overextension of en- terprise yet to be rectified, had cnlli- ing effect on some of the purely specula- tive enthusiasm which had been stirred up in the stock exchange neighborhood in the last few days. London continued to sell stocks in this market, notwitn- standing the large influx of gold .hold- ings into the Bank of England, and the decline in the open market discount rate. The discount rate at Berlin also receded, which development was viewed with spe- ciaI satisfaction in view of the weak re- turn of the Imperial Bank of Germany for the week and the anxiety that Is felt over the Berlin position generally. Last prices of stocks, after the numerous fluctuations, were about the lowest Of the day.
