why the Calkins syndicate has failed
In the newspaper field, the Call TAX
ing the position that the kept news
paper Is Objectionable to the public
and, therefore, falls to receive the re-
quired patronage, The Call says:
II may seem ungracious to empha-
size by comment the present embar-
easements OF the Calkins newspaper
syndicate. but really there is an i'm
portant moral to be deduced that
should not be neglected It Is pub
lie duty to point out that the way of
the debauched newspaper. the kept"
newspaper, is not prosperous. The
first rule by which Calkins ran his
string of newspapers was to sell the
use Of his news and editorial columns
TO any and every corrupt interest"
that wanted TO cover it's tracks or
push some scheme of public robbery,
Calkins and his newspapers were
among the earliest hackers of Patrick
Calhoun and they knew the reason
why. 1t was not long before an in
telligent public became aware of this
reason, which was always the guild
ing star of the Calkins policy Not
content with long distance advocacy,
Calkins wanted to get CLOSE up" and
started the Globe in this city under
subsidy from Calhoun. The paper
was edited in the Offices of the Unit
ed Railroads. 1t was a disastrous
venture. The public did not want
kept" newspaper. and the undertake
ing only fastened the ruin of Calhins.
Calkins always did his little best
to assist and promote the dirty poll
tics OF the republican machine.

NEW PLANETS DISCOVERED.

M. Gaillot, addressing the Academy
Of Science In New York, night last
week. made an announcement of su-
preme interest-that he has discover
ed two new planets beyond Neptune.
which is the outcrmost known planet
OF the solar system. The French as

discovery by employing the same meth

enabled LeverrIer to assign to Nep-
tune a position within definite re-
gion In space, which permitted OF It's
discovery in 1886
The famous theoretical discovery Of
Neptune is universally recognized as
the greatest triumph OF mathematical
astronomy. 1t was accomplished in

STRANGER WHO SAYS HE LIKES
OGDEN.

A visitor from Southern Idaho. on
his way back from conference, said he
looked upon Ogden as the most invit-
Ing field in the West for investment
In real estate. He has been reading
the Standard noting what has been
mapped out in the way of improve
ments for this season and he has come
to the conclusion that Ogden did not
know there was panic little over a
year ago and does not at present real
ize that anything out OF the ordinary
occurred in that distant country.
known to men of finance as Wall
Street
And, come to think of 1t, Ogden has
escaped with remarkably few remind
ers that the financial world had an
earthquake which leveled all struc-
lures built on flimsy foundation and
made of inflated material.
Here are a few Of the things worth
while which the people Of this section
are doing or of which they are to be
the beneficiaries:
The viaduct.
The Bamberger line improvements.
The Plain City suburban.
The Ogden Canyon electric.
The Wall street car extension.
The Hartman depot
The Hartman yard Improvement.
The Hartman foundries.
The Union Pacific double tracking.
The Dee memorial hospital.
The ogden High school.
The Peery apartments.
The new warehouses.
The Geo. A. Lowe improvements.
The Opera House changes.
The Federal building
The fruit industry.
The building of new factories.
And in addition to the foregoing are
hundreds OF cottages to be built in
all parts of the city.

The Steel trusts excuse Of threat

wage reductions is thus completely an

One by ono the Independent iron
and steel companies have reduced
wages until now the scale-down is
nearly complete. The trust, with its
100000 employees. Is expected soon to
follow the example OF its rivals.
Strangely enough. the reason given
for these reductions is not an actual
lowering Of the protective tariff but
the fear that some such action is to
taken
In one OF the magazines last De-

this statement,
Steel is now produced cheaper here
