The Cost Of the Pacific Cruise,

The National Grange wants Co..
gress TO appropriate s5o,O00,00O for
good roads. The cost of the Pacific
cruise will be twice that.-Biddeford
Record.
1t would be of interest to know just
how the Biddeford Editor figures out
that the Pacific Cruise will cost $780,
OO0, 900 or any considerable part of
that sum. If the fleet had remained
in Atlantic waters the crews would
have been fed and paid just the same;
coal would have been burned and
ammunition used in target practice.
No doubt more coal, thousands of tons
more, will be used during the cruise
than would have been used if the
and there will be increased expenses
in other ways, but to talk in terms of
many millions in this matter is
absurd. 1t is simply making
mountain out of a molehill by the
chronic kickers who desperately hunt
for opportunities to slap the national
administration. The fleet belongs in
Pacific waters, as much as in Atlantic
waters. and the present cruise will no
doubt be Of great value to our naTal
service and to the country as a whole.
The extra expense involved is the
least OF the considerations. But the
whining opponents of Little American
ism think they find a text in the
cruise.

these buildings would rank with the

have added enormously to the city's
office space. But it is said that there
is demand for the new offices as soon

THE MAYORS MESSAGE.

Mayor Bransford's first official
communication to the city solons is,
in the main, a cred;table document.
1t is not too long nor too short
not running to verbosity nor coll
densed to meagerness, while the Ian
guage is plain, lucid and straightfor-
ward.
So far, so good. An analysis OF tie
document discloses some disappoin,-
ments, not two or three, but several,
and painfully enough, the first of
these occurs where generalization
ceases and particular reference be-
gins. His honor says: 1T is a mat
ter worthy of note that our city has
been comparatively free from the
more serious crimes which usually
occur" This, TO be accurate, would
mean either that murder, assault with
intent to murder, highway robbery,
burglary and larceny are not to he
classed as the more serious crimes, or
that all of them occurring between
two moons do not amount to fire.

MONEY SENT AWAY.

The recent discussion, in which this
paper participated, regarding the
Greeks in Our midst has spread and
been widely discussed. In fact, the
whole question as to aliens has been
raised in connection with the drain
upon the monetary resources of this
country, caused by the presence of
such population whose numbers
have relatives or interests in the land
of their birth. Consul Mckinley,
some time since, said that the best
opinion in Greece is that the 10000
or more Greeks in the United States
send home every year not far from
$2,ooo,ooo. Taking this as basis for
the home-sending of the other twelve
or fifteen million foreign-born resi-
dents of this country, we have an an

THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY.

In last weeks Truth occasion was
taken to refer to -he question OF
Utahs judiciary, and the article seems
to have struck a popular chord. 1t
is gratifying to note that the subject
was also taken up at the Bar Asso-
citation banquet on Monday evening
and discussed in broad, unrestrained
and public-spirited manner. The
speech of President P. L. Williams
was particularly well timed. 1t is a
matter of the utmost importance, and
the nearness of the time set for maxi
ing nominations for the judgeships
makes it incumbent upon us to be up
and doing now
At the time the judges are placed
in nomination, their principal auxli-
airy and immediate reliance, the can
didaie for district attorney, will also
be named. AS to the Republicans he
might be said to be named already
unless something wholly unlocked
for intervenes before convention day.
The incumbent of that important sta.
ton for this district Fred c. Loot
borrow, is the only name so far men
toned and properly so. The Office
we might say, any office-has never
been more acceptably or ably filled
and it would be useless to make
change under such circumstances.
Mr.. Loofbourow is not only in the
front rank as a lawyer, but is an
earnest and incorruptible citizen who
believes in an impartial and upright
enforcement of all laws and at all
times and under all circumstances s
always found doing his full duty. In
his case a nomination and an election
would be synonymous terms, and it
is sincerely to be hoped we may do
as well in all other respects.

quency--conclusions with either or
which this paper and its readess,, to.
gether with an overwhelming MAORI
ty of the community respectfully find
fault, because faultiness of the gross
est kind exists and x-rays are not
needed to discern it. The fact is,
that in no place of its size within the
realms of civilization and in a CORES
ponding time has there been so much
crime of almost every description and
every grade, as in this otherwise
splendid city. And the outlook for
reform is not of the brightest.
Another point-we can only men
ton these two for want of space--is
the suggestion by the mayor relat'n .g
to water. He thinks the rates for
water are not high enough, that the
revenue from such source should be
augmented by advances in the
amounts exacted for licenses, sug-
gesting that the department should
be self-sustaining. 1t is not states
manlike view to take of such stu
alton. One of the necessities which,
if necessary, the weather. class must
furnish to the poorer, is water. /:
must not be denied no matter what
the cost nor whether the latter ele-
ment ever pay cent or not. 1t is
as indispensable and as natural
right as that of air or sunlight If
the expense is ahead of the income
from such source, the proper plan
is to meet the deficit from the public
Golfers and not talk about raising
rates when there are thousands in
our midst unable TO pay the prices
charged now and must perforce take
what they want without leave or get
along with the turbid and uncertain
flow of the bitches. Water rates are
altogether too high and must be low
cred, or discomfort will increase and
grow stronger until "free water" may
amount to something more than
campaign slogan.
Still, it is very fair message, and.
holding the mayor in high esteem and
wishing all kinds of success for his
administration, we hope he may make
no more serious mistakes than are
contained in his coup d oeil as to
