THE COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS.

We just knew they were going TO do
it. Those travelling men never go part
OF the way. They always go the entire
route. Anyway, that's what they did
yesterday. Their parade was about the
best thing of its kind seen in Salt Lake
City since the Pioneer Jubilee. And we
date everything from that. you know.
There were people that said the travel
ing men beat even the Pioneer Jubi-
lee parade. But in any event they COW
cred themselves with glory, just as
they were expected TO do.
The day began in anything but a
hospitable manner from the weather
standpoint We had everything the
weather man had in his box except
snow Then the doctor relented and
turned on the sunshine. Thereafter the
day was as fine as anybody could de-
sire. During the hours of the parade
we say hours" advisedly-1he weather
was perfect. and all he floats and dec
orations and civic organizations showed
10 the best possible advantage. The
thousands who saw the marchers were
unanimous in their commentator.
What more could anybody want?
The Herald has aforetime taken Occa-
sion to welcome the travellers TO our
midst" In the light of all the hap
penings since the first word of welcome
was written we here and now declare
that we haven't a word 10 retract.
Everything goes exactly as II lays,
to use the popular expression. We are
glad the travelling men are with US
and cur one regret is that they cannot
stay longer. They are mighty fine peo-
pie. every one of them, and We wish we
could make them permanent residents
of Salt Lake City.

THE CONSERVATION OF LIFE.

A movement for the establishment of
a national bureau of health under gov
eminent auspices has gathered head
way recently, Its purpose is to bring
national authority TO the support and
leadership of state and local authori-
ties in the prevention of disease. in the
education Of the people as 10 the causes
of the plaques that cause the heaviest
loss of life, and in the ultimate removal
of such causes so far as is possible by
the cooperation of all the forces work
ing for the prolongation of human life.
A good deal of noise has been made
about the movement for the conserva-
ton of national resources. but this eff
fort to conserve human life. the great
est of all national resources. is inf
nitely more important. A very large
proportion of the deaths from tuber-
culosis. for instance. could be prevent
ed by intelligent care and the educa-
ton OF those who now suffer because
Of their ignorance. Better ventilation
better food, proper sanitation and a re-
gard for the simplest hygienic rules
would save the nation thousands and
hundreds of thousands of lives that are
sacrificed annually for lack of knowl-
edge.
Other diseases, particularly in cpl
demic form, such as the scarlet fever
which has inflicted great loss and in
jury on Salt Lake during the past year,
could be held in check. If not totally
extinguished. II the health authorities
utilized their power with the co-opera-
ton OF the public. If existing cases OF
scarlet fever were completely isolated,
as they should be and could be with a
conscientious administration of muni-
cipal authority. il would save TO the
community many times the cost of the
whole department.
Similarly, if a federal bureau were
empowered TO direct a national move
ment for the prevention and extinction
of disease centers, the cost of such a
bureau would be infinitesimal COM
pared with the economic saving TO the
country in lives preserved. 1t would be
one of the few governmental agencies
whose administration could be counted
as a paying Investment in dollars and
cents.

Gratis will. therefore. have practically
only the platform and the vice presi-
dency with which TO occupy their
minds.
The Herald firmly believes that the
ticket 10 be nominated at Denver will
be elected at the polls next November.
1t is therefore most important that a
suitable candidate for the vice presi-
dency be named. It should go without
saying that no man who is not big
enough TO be president or the United
States is big enough TO be vice presi-
dent. Conventions must always reckon
on the possibility of succession. The
Democratic nominee for the lesser
place should be as big man as can be
found
The vice presidency is not a small
honor 1t is the second highest Office
in the gift of the republic. In the event
of the death or disability of the presi-
dent the vice president assumes all the
duties and obligations of chiefship.
Usually vice presidential candidates
are nominated more with reference TO
geography than anything else. TheO-
dore Roosevelt became president of the
United States because a coterie OF New
York politicians wanted 10 get him out
of that state. The thought that he
would ever be chief magistrate was
farthest from their minds.
The lesson learned then by the poll
ticians and the country must not be
lost. And il is by no means an un-
usual thing for a vice president TO be-
come president. Some of the greatest
of Americans have filled the office of
vice president Thomas Jefferson, John
Adams and Martin Van Buren, served
as vice president before being elected
To the presidency. John Tyler, Willard
Fillmore, Andrew Johnson, Chester A
Arthur and our present chief executive
succeeded TO the higher office upon the
death of their immediate predecessors.
No American citizen is too big to ac-
cept the vice presidency. Let those
that think they are too good look over
the list of the men who have been can
didates for the office or have filled It.
They will find there the names of John
c. Calhoun. James X. Polk, Andrew
Jackson, Charles Francis Adams. John
G Breckenridge, Hannibal Hamlin
Schuyler Colfax. Thomas A. Hendricks,
Allen e. Thurman and others who In
their day carved their names deeply in
son were defeated candidates for the
vice presidency before they were elect
ed TO the presidency. OF the others
mentioned some were elected. some de-
feated, but all were big men.
The Democrats cannot afford e
name any other kind at Denver next
month.

TAFT WINS.

After all. it was the expected that
happened in Chicago yesterday. Will
liam H Taft was nominated by the
Republicans on the first ballot for the
presidency of the United States. The
stampede for Roosevelt that had been
predicted by some of the politicians
failed TO materialize. Ii even failed TO
begin. And there is no room for doubt
ing that, if Mr.. Roosevelt had been a
candidate TO succeed himself, he could
not have Won the nomination. Taft
was nominated merely because Mr..
Roosevelt selected him as his successor.
II may be going too far 10 say that
Mr.. Roosevelt could have designated
any other Republican as his political
heir. but it is undoubtedly true that
any one of not less than half a dozen
men who might be named. II Roosevelt
had used all the federal power and pat
ronage for the benefit of Knox or
Hughes or Fairbanks or Cannon. or
even COrtelyou or Shaw or Root. one
of those gentlemen would have been
nominated. He chose TO throw his in
fluence 10 Taft. and Taft won.
There was very little enthusiasm
among the delegates TO the convention
for Taft. There is very little enthusi-
assn for Taft in the country at large.
The public knows that he is Roose-
velt's heir, but the president cannot
transfer his popularity as he has trans
feTred his leadership. And we say this
fully believing that il Roosevelt had
been nominated at Chicago yesterday
he would surely have been defeated,
for much of his popularity has been
dissipated
The nomination of Taft spells defeat
for the Republicans as surely as the
nomination of Roosevelt would have
spelled it. Governor Hughes of New
York would have had a chance against
William Jennings Bryan. Unless all the
political signs fail. Taft will never
occupy the presidential chair. As a
Democratic newspaper. The Herald is
glad the secretary of war won out in
the Chicago convention. If We had been
selecting a candidate for the Republi-
cans we would have picked William H.
