OeDEN's WATsRWoRKs.

Without knowing the details neces-
sary to form exact judgment on an i'm
portant proposition, The Herald be-
lieves on general principles that the
people of Ogden ought to own their
own waterworks and to get them at the
first opportunity. The price asked may
be large and the conditions onerous,
but even then, if there is no prospect
of better terms. the deal ought to be
closed while it may
In a growing city such as ogden. the
private ownership of the water supply
is always attended with dissatisfaction
for the people and owners alike. No
other public service comes so close to
the comfort and health of community
as it's water supply; and none is SO alb
solutely essential to the prosperous
growth of a city as an adequate and
low-priced supply for domestic and
manufacturing use.
Whether the present offer to Ogden
is reasonable or not-and that is for the
people there to judge-they can afford
to pay an extravagant figure, if need
be, to insure the control of their own
service and insure the people such adj
vantage as comes from the increased
revenue and value of plant in con-
stantly increasing population center.

ROOSEVELT BUTTED IN.

President Roosevelt has definitely de.
cided that the Republicans of New
York shall nominate Hughes for gov
ernor, and there is no court of appeals
to intervene. Whether or not Mr..
Hughes can be elected is another mat
ter. Curses long, loud and deep, will
go up among the rank and file, but the
governor will probably be renominated
and the chance of his defeat taken, the
theory being that it is necessary in
order to save the national ticket in the
Empire state.
For several days past the New York
papers have been carrying letters from
the goody-goody wing of the Republi-
can party, each and every one stating
that if the governor is turned down by
the state convention the writers will
vote the Democratic ticket, state and
national Just why these people, who
are for Taft as well as Hughes, should
make such threats cannot be explained.
If the other fellows feel that way about
it, the G. o. P. is going to be whip
sawed in November.
Agreeing that it is the good people
who want Hughes and the bad ones
who are against him, we fail to see
what is to be gained by forcing him on
the ticket. The rascaliy Republicans
in New York outnumber the nice, clean
ones by a large majority, and if they
jump the fence, long farewell to Taft.
They certainly will be in the mood to
bolt after having the man for whom
they have the most intense hatred
rammed down their threats by the pres
ident. who does not seem to be able to
keep his fingers out of the pie.
The situation in New York will be
watched with great interest from now
until election.

THE FINANCIAL SITUATION.

During the week just closed the fin
ancial situation in the country at large
showed an abundance of money in sight
market operations all indicated a weak,
ening of faith in the immediate future
and a refusal on the part of the general
public to enter the market for large in
strength in Wall street was due to ru-
mors that the Rock Island system
might have difficulty in financing
heavy obligations of one of its branch
weeks. Aside from that the lack of
outside support encouraged the bears
in the face of call money available at
rates down 10 seven-eighths of l per
or So O00.0 900 through treasury opera
tions.
General business is still in cautious
state, though retailers are buying more
months ago for fall and spring trade
In manufacturing lines the disposition
to curtail production to the needs of
visible demand is a factor in restraint
of any rapid improvement, and earning
reports of railroads show that opera
lions are planned with a view to con-
tinued economy in every department.
The outlook for unemployment of the
many railroad employees now out of
work will depend altogether upon the
extent of crop movements; and those
men who have depended upon railroad
construction for a livelihood are likely

In the west, and particularly in the
region of which Salt Lake is the finan-

tionally good, much better than there

A "PROPHET" TRANSLATED.

Prophet" Crowdy, who caused sew

and Baltimore negroes to forsake their
old religion and follow him. is dead.
leaving the Church of God and Saints
of Christ in a bad tangle. Crowdy was
originally a cook, and one day, Whine
among his pans and kettles in a small
western place, a vision came to him
and he was told to "go into a great city
and establish a church" He obeyed
the summons, and the "Footwashers''
soon gained prominence in colored cir
cles as a result.
The woman followers of the pro
phet' were given the high-sounding
title of Daughters of Jerusalem" and
polyandry, as we'll as polygamy. was
practiced. Just before he died the
prophet" issued an edict commanding
the heads of families to return to their
lawfully welded wives. .and set the
good example himself. leaving several
pro tenn. wives and numerous progeny
to shift for themselves.
This church under the new DISPENSE
ton has some remarkable ideas. If

and her husband refuses TO follow her.
she is entitled to choose a new hus-
band in the congregation. 1t happened

Joined the new sect for the purpose of
obtaining a change of partners.
1t is said the edict of the late
prophet" concerning the marriage re-
lation has not been followed to any
considerable extent and that the first
act of the new head of the church"
viii be to issue an order restoring po-
lygamy. This is thought to be certain,
as the brother who is most likely to be
chosen has lately acquired young and
comely wife In addition to the ones of
maturer years and less prepossessing
appearance already on hand.
The most remarkable thing of all In
connection with this Church of God and
Saints of Christ is the fact that these
practices were carried on in the Dis
trict of Columbia, under the very eye
of the national government, and there
was no cutlery.

THE PANIC THREAT.

For a generation and more the stock
argument of the Republican party
against a change of administration has
been the threat that a change would
bring on a panic. After the experience
of last fall. when a panic came like a
bolt from the blue sky when the Re-
publicans controlled every branch of
government. one would suppose the old
argument would be abandoned if only
for shame
1t is apparent. however. that the Re-
pubhcans believe they can fool all the
people all the time. for Mr. Taft has
reiterated the old tale than a Demo-
cratic victory now would portend dis
aster ar some future time.
In his Des Moines speech. Mr.. Bryan
comments on this foolish talk with
good nature and clarity that are con-
elusive and crushing. He said. and
history verifies his facts. that I'VE have
had three panics since the Republican
party was born: the panic of 1875, the
panic of 1893 and the panic of 1907. The
panic of 1873 came after the Republi-
can party had been in complete con-
troll of the federal government for
twelve years, and eleven years before
our party succeeded in securing con-
troll OF the executive branch of the gov
eminent. The startling panic and de-
preston of 1873 occurred in the very
midst of Republican rule, just after
Republican victory, and under a high
tariff. Is it not strange that Secretary
Taft should forget this panic, when he
warns us to beware Of any departure
from the protective system? The
panic of 1907 came after the RepUbli-
cans had been in complete control of
ten years. They had had an opportuni-
ty to do everything that they wanted
TO do and to undo everything that
needed to be undone, ana We were un-
der such a high tariff that even Secre-
tary Taft admitted the necessity of re-
vision. This panic vas so bad that
banks felt 1t necessary To do something
that they had never done before, name
ly. arbitrarily limit the amount of
money that depositors could draw on
their own accounts. Ex-Secretary Shaw
says that the stringency of 1907 was
the severest the world has ever w.t.
messed With this panic fresh in his
mind, is II not strange that he should
argue that his election IS necessary 10
prevent a panic?"
The merest tyro knows now that the
threat of a panic is only n bunco game
designed TO fool the people into con-
tinuing the Republicans in power, AMI
that the promise of revision after cleo
ton is nothing more than promise 20
the partys past performances in
the tariff line. In other words, the Re-
publicans expect the people to forget
their record and believe they will aban-
DON the trusts and beneficiarie3 of spe-
cial legislation upon whom they depend

A WAITERLESS CAFE.
New York HeraldD

After the horseless carriage, the play
erless piano, and all the other less things
that modern invention has devised New
York is to have a waiterless restaurant
and, of all places I'm the world, it is to
be on the site of the old Saranac hotel,
on Broadway. near Forty-second street.
John l.. Murray. backed by a syndicate
of wealthy tobacco manufacturers has
obtained a twenty-one years lease of the
building, and his plans are elaborate and
unique.
In the new restaurant all one will have
to do will be to give the order upon en-
tering. Then the most intimate and con-
fidential conversations may be pursued
with immunity from the eager ears of
the servitors. for at the end of each
course all one will have to do will be to
press a button.
Then. in Arabian Knights fashion. the
center of the table will sink through the
floor into the serving room beneath, and
presently will rise again with the new
dishes. The table has been patented by
Mr.. Murray, who has just returned from
Europe. where he searched for ideas, and
the plan will be made practicable by hay
ing the kitchen next TO the top floor. but
connected with the serving rooms on all
the other floors by means of a dumb wait
er system operated by compressed air.

THE MOUNTAIN.

edwin. Markham in Nautilus.)
Each builds his world forever. dark or
bright,
And sits within his separate universe.
The shepherd sees in this green mountain
top
Place where his sheep may wander and
grow fat
What to the drover is the lilied pool?
A hollow for his swine to wallow in.
Gold hunters find upon this rocky peak
Nothing but lodges for their ringing picks
But TO the poet all this Soaring height
Smokes with the footsteps of the passing
God.
