rHE SYMPHONY CONCERT.

The tremendous success, viewed from
every standpoint, of the closing con-
cert of the Salt Lake symphony or
cbestra cannot fail to be a source of
satisfaction to all lovers of good mu-
sic. The experiment of giving the con-
cert on Sunday evening was tried Tor
the first time. It is sincerely TO be
hoped that next year, as this, if it
is impossible to secure dates in the
theatres on week nights. all the con-
certs will be given on Sunday evenings.
Certainly, the orchestra has not had,
in It's entire history, such an audience
as greeted it last Sunday evening in
the Orpheum.
Every seat, both downstairs and in
the balcony, was occupied, and many
late corners stood throughout the con-
cert. This would hardly have been
possible on a week night, and il has
never even been approached at an aft
ernoon concert. The Herald sees no
reason why entertainments such as
that provided by the symphony artists
should not be given on Sunday night
1t is an ideal way of spending an
evening. True, some objection was
raised to it by people who should have
known better. but there are not enough
of them to make any difference.
Salt Lake has long had a reputation
as music center. We have let it be
known to the world that we are fond
Of high-cIass music. At various times
doubts have been expressed on this
point. The measre audiences that have
on occasion assembled to hear some
worthy musical entertainment have
caused some of us to wonder If we
really are entitled to our reputation.
There could have been no such wonder
Sunday night. AS has been stated, the
audience was limited only TO the ca
pacity of the Orpheum.
II is also true that the people who
were there We're genuine music lovers.
they applauded with discrimination
and Judgment. and they gave every
evidence Of appreciation of program
composed of classical music. What an
gncourag cement that audience must
nave been to Director Arthur Shep-
herd, to Manager John D. Spencer and,
indeed, to every man in any way con-
nected with the organization. All OF
them have given many hours Of hard
work 20 the orchestra, and they have
had mighty little recompense up to
date.
The success of the closing concert
viii encourage all of them to renewed
efforts for next season. Salt Lake has
long been proud of its symphony or
chestra. 1t will have reason to be
prouder Of it next year.

for the nomination at Denver in July.
Monday. in the house of representa-
tives, however. Mr. Cochran let it be
known that he is one of Mr.. Bryan's
very warm admirers. He declared that
in the distinguished gentleman from
Nebraska there was "a Democratic
crusader" Continuing. Mr.. Cochran
said:
I'VE have a crusader as to whom
there is some doubt as to whether or
not he is too strenuous. 1 opposed him
in the past, / might still oppose him,
but 1 believe this message (the presi-
dent's) has outlined the conditions un-
der which he (Alr. Bryan) becomes the
foreordained champion of law and or
der. Mr.. Cochran added that if Mr..
champion of the principles which are
directly and Indirectly embodied in
the presidents message, if he repre-
sents the determination to prosecute
indicators for their crimes. and if a
rigorous enforcement of the law should
result in congesting the criminal
courts, then the plunderers of millions
will be given precedence in the path
way TO prison over the pilferers of PEN
MES"
Which is sound doctrine as well as
being alliterative. But Mr.. Bryan has
already spoken along the lines sug-
gested by Mr.. Cochran. 1t is already
known that he stands for the punish.
ment of the wealthy criminal, and that
he will do all he can to bring him to
justice. II is surely not necessary for
him to say anything more on the sub
ject, except to let as many people as
possible know his exact attitude. APP
parently Mr.. Cochran viii this year
support Mr.. Bryan. Every believer in
good government should support him.
He is entitled, in his fight this year, TO
an undivided party at his back.
If he has that he viii, with the as
sistance of the hundreds of thousands
of sincere voters who are normally in
other parties and who will vote this
year for Bryan. be elected president of
the United States.

cEElNG The LleHT.

Those eastern Democrats are begin
ming to see a great light. There is
Bourke Cochran, for instance. Mr.
Cochran openly opposed Mr.. Bryan in
1896 and made speechmaking tour
against him. The report was that he
was paid $1,000 for each of his talks in
opposition to the Nebraskan, and it
was generally believed that his oppo-
sition was very remunerative to him
self. In 1900 Mr.. Cochran supported
Bryan on the question of Imperialism,
but he didn't throw himself into the
campaign with any vigor.
Up to short time ago he was hand
in-glove with the little coterie OF east
ern politicians that has been conspiring
to bring about the defeat of Mr.. Bryan

THE NEXT CENSUS.

The machinery for the taking of the
next national census, two years hence,
is already well under way. 1t is the
expressed purpose of the administra-
ton to make, as far as in its power
lies, the approaching census the most
accurate and reliable that as yet has
been taken in this country. Certainly
it cannot be said of any of our census
lists that they have answered this de-
scription. We have had reasonably
able men in charge of the work, but
the results attained have not been up
to the standard of efficiency that
should have been maintained.
In a letter to congress, President
Roosevelt suggests that it is necessary
to make all appointments to census po-
sitions in 1910 on a merit basis. Here
tofore census appointments have been
turned over to senators and congress-
men as part of their perquisites; they
have been used by the national law
makers in the construction and re-
construction of their personal political
machinery.
Enumerators have been chosen with
reference to their ability to help the
individual who appoints them rather
than TO their fitness for the places. The
result has been that the work has been
sighted as much as the enumerators
and others dared to slight it. The pO-
sition is a temporary one for the great
body of the workers, and their main
object has been to get through as
quickly and with as little trouble as
possible All they have wanted is to
make a showing sufficient to enable
them to draw their pay.
The National Board of Trade passed
the other day a resolution favoring the
merit system for census appointments.
The board is particularly interested in
an accurate census. So are commercial
bodies everywhere. They want to know
with some degree of certainty the
number and character of the popula-
ton they expect to reach with their
manufacturing and other enterprises.
They want to know with some certain
ty whether or not the field is covered
by other enterprises of similar charac-
ter.
Unless the census is accurate it is of
almost no value. 1t has been said,
thoughtlessly, that nobody is interest
ed in census figures, that the prepare
! ton of great volumes of statistics COW
ering information of all kinds about
ucts and the like, is work that is as
useless as it is expensive. This is by
no means true. 1t is doubtless well
within the bounds of reason to say
that practically nobody. except the off,
Gals directly interested. ever reads the
volumes of census statistics from title
| page to finish. But nearly everybody
has occasion at some time to investi-
gate details of the census.
A census that is accurate in nine
ty-nine details and Inaccurate in
the hundredth. is valueless, because
the hundredth detail may be
the one that some individual
| is most anxious TO secure
information about. The theory of en-
ploying only competent men. regard
less Of politics, to. do this work is en-
/ inently sound. Congress has not yet
shown any disposition to accept the
presidents suggestion, but it is greatly
to be hoped that if legislation is neces.
sary to accomplish the result desired
il will be enacted without delay.
