INVESTIGATE SIXTH EAST,

A street paving petition is being cir
culated by residents OF Sixth East
street 1t recites that the recent rains
havo destruotively washed into that
newly macadamized road. and asks for
the resurfacing of the street with as
phaltum.
This street was but recently COM
pleted. Some of it has had about
year of use. It is already wearing
out Laid at an expense that should
have guaranteed twenty years Of good
service, considering It's width and the
light travel that goes over it, the street
has not given a single year of actual
usefulness. For almost half year
1t was more or less torn up. Then it
was covered with stone that is not
fit for that use. This stone was laid
upon 1t in such form and in such ways
as to violate over baltimore than ten
out of twonty--of the rules and speci-
hcations laboriously and ridculously
drawn up by the City engineer. AT
that very time the Deseret News laid
before the City council these import
ant facts. The council did not look
into the matter. No investigation was
made. The street was "macadamized"
at heavy expense to both the City
treasury and the property owners. Now
the residents condemn the work and
ask that 1t be done over.
What do the city councilmen think
of this matter2 What do the taxpayers
think? viii not the City council now
make AN honest investigation. and if
it finds that vast system of fraud
permeates almost every line of the con-
tracts for street macadamizing, apply
the necessary remedy?
Before resurfacing any part of Sixth
East street with asphaltum, let u
square rod of 1t be taken up anywhere,
and the work compared with the speci-
fications in the contract. Let the citi-
zens see whether or not they are get
ting what they pay for by all means
Investigate the macadamizing OF Sixth
East street, If you dare to let the people
know the true condition of It, And
then there is Second avenue which tax
payers say was "mud-amized" instead
of macadamized.

a PLEASANT OCCASION.

Iae banquet &C tho Commercial
club IN honor Of tho Japanese Con-
sui General nt san Francisco. NJ.
Chozo Koike, was in every respect a
pleasant function. 1t was an America
Japanese alliance in miniature In
which the sentiments of respect and
good will expressed by the speakers
were general and genuine.
Tho Consul-General was emphatic
in his assurances that Japan only de-
sres peace, and Governor Cutler IN
his neat little speech. was equally en-
phatic in his declaration that the
United States has nothing but peace
full intentions and ambitions. 1t was
a regular peace banquet. But 1t Is
true that the two countries represent
ed desire peace with all the world.
Japan, in her very national symbols,
expresses this desire. When you think
Of Japan among the nations, you do
not think of a dragon, or Il lion, or an
eagle, or any beast Of prey. but you
think of the Rising Sun, of the cherry
blossom and the crysanthemum. Those
are the beautiful national emblems of
the Mlkado's subjects. and their senti-
ments are in harmony with these en-
blems
We hope the Consul-General viii
find his brief sojourn in this City
pleasant, and that he may he eminent
ly successful in his important mis-
sion.

w. NJ. Hayes in THE Worlds Work"
for August, notes that tho United
Kingdom, Germany and France, are
| our leading purchasers; but adds that
Cuba takes $500, 900 worth OF our an
imal products. mostly in the form Of
bacon, hams, stated or picked pork,
fresh beef, and lard, that It may the
more exclusively devote its energy To
the production of sugar tobacco, and
other crops suited to its climate and
| soil.
The same authority reports the aver
age annual farm value Of the products
of African farms for the last five
years up to 1907, inclusive, at $6,5s7,-
| 100000; the value of our agricultural
exports. at 1881 900, 900; and the value
Of our agricultural imports at $780,.
! 900 900, thus leaving an excess of agri-
cultural exports over imports of S4Ol,-
! 600, 900.
Like many other writer's, Mr. Hayes
depreciates the large expectation of
coarse grains. which carry abroad the
chemical fertilizers almost to the value
Of the price Of these raw products.
Thus, the grains and oll-cake carry
with them nitrogen. phosphoric acid
and potash. worth at current prices
for the fertilizer ingredients tens of
millions of dollars"
Just how to prevent this loss of val
liable fertilizers is not clear. Up to the
present time, the sewage of cities has
not. been very generally or very effec-
lively used as fertilizers in this country;
while the use made by farmers of even
the present supplies of barnyard man
ure would not argue that they should
be supplied with still more of it by
home-feedng. Nevertheless, If the
farms could concentrate more of their
agricultural surplus and turn more of
1t into higher priced animal products
by home feeding, some OF the loss of
soil fertility could be compensated.
At present 1t pays SO we'll to export
the crude surplus, that the more re-
fined methods make slow progress.

of historic remains, including a four
wheeled chariot, richly and quantity
decorated; four sledges, three of them
curiously carved; several beds, spin

has led to the conclusion that the fun

 "Now, my countrymen, it is a little hard that the United States senator from Texas should be compelled to leave his post of duty and come down here and defend himself before the people whom he has served for seventeen years and in whose name he has never com. mitted one mistake. Is that not re- markable' It never happened before in the history of American politics. As between a man who has never made a mistake in his public life and always makes mistakes in his private life, and man who never makes mistake in h.s private affairs but always does in his public duties, would not you prefer the former' Of course you would, but when you can get as senator a man who does not mako mistakes either in his pubic or Rcivate affairs, whose public and private life is clean and wise, don t you think you are fortunate' GA voice: We've got him y Yes, you have one."
 The man who has never made a mis- take in public or private life is so out of harmony in this world that he is, paradoxical to relate, pursued with uni. versal suspicion. f'Not to mako mis. takes is for the gods said the Greek poet, but if he had lived today he would have added, "and for Senator Bailey.
