DON'T NEED TAKE NOTES.

There was a time when teachers at
tending lectures Of the state association
were required to take notes. It was not
enough that they attend. They must
lariat the uttered thought, and make it
a part Of themselves whether or no
they wanted it.
But they don't take notes any more.
They take The Herald-Republican in
stead. They find that they get the meat
Of the proceedings, and don't have TO
burden their thought with details in the
progress of the meeting. They trust
the morning paper to tell them every
thing that happens. and they are not
disappointed. And, their attention re-
lieved. they can watch with a far bet
ter view the whole work of the conven-
TONS sessions. When they took notes.
they lost much of the benefit to be
gained in a larger view of proceedings.
Now they lose nothing-and have their
notes next morning in the paper.

COUNCIL VERSUS MAYOR.

The council is perfectly right. Mayor
Bransford has no business to make
nominations to city offices without con-
sulting the members of the body which
will have to pass on the selections in
open meeting. 1t is his duty to tell the
members of the council what he intends
doing; who he proposes to appoint for
the various places; what man he would
like to have for the water Office, and the
street department, and the engineer
job, and all the rest. He should tell
them all about it before he sends in the
names. If they don't like the names
he has selected. they have a right to
tell the mayor so then, and let him
back up and choose some one else that
is agreeable TO the men from the wards.
They know what is good for the party,
and they know what they want The
idea of a mayor ramming ahead with
his appointments as If he were the
whole city government is a relic of the
dark ages, when kings ruled by divine
right, and it was treason to question
anything they did.
But at the same time, the mayor GER
tainly is charged by the law with the
duty Of selecting the men who shall
have control in the various depart
ments. That is his business as mayor,
and he cannot share that responsibility
with any one. 1t is the blankest pre-
sumption on the part of councilmen to
trespass on the rights and privileges
Of the mayor. They are not charged
with the making up Of the mayors
cabinet. They should reflect that the
mayor has certain plans for the year,
and that he cannot work out these
plans unless he can have men wholly
devoted to him, and cheerfully in ac-
cord with his wishes. He is charged
by the people with the general conduct
of the administration. If things go
wrong in a department, the mayor Is
held responsible-never the council
They have no more business to butt
into the matter Of appointments than
a marine has to tell the captain of the
battleship Utah where to head in.
Now, go TO it.

GIVE Them TIE ROOM.

Don't make man walk the streets
all night in winter. Give him a bed.
That ought TO be one Of the first du-
ties of a city. 1t is a duty we Of salt
Lake owe to humanity. And we should
heed that appeal Of the Salvation Army
captain who wants to find d basement
or a vacant room in which he can put
beds and a stove, and give shelter and
rest to tired men who have no money
1t doesn't matter so much that the
men are bad. Indeed, there is a view
which makes that an additional reason
for giving them the bed. They are not
going to break into your house while
they are asleep. They are not going to
held You up while they are in a COM
Portable cot. And they are a good deal
more likely to start back to honor and
industry from the comfortable bed than
from the shivering sleep in a stairway,
or the ignominy of a couch in the Jail
Let men who have vacant rooms-up
stairs or down-call up the Salvation
Army man and lend a hand.
And then, a little later, let the people
of Salt Lake. make arrangements for a
regular and established municipal
lodging house. 1t will do more for the
peace and safety Of the city than any
thing else can. And it Will do more to
win an erring brother back to himself
than all the PHILOSOPHERS under the
moon.

BETTER PLAYS PAY.

You who read the Burr Mcintosh
Monthly must have found with decided
interest that appreciation of the play.
1.-THE Passing Of the Third Floor Back"
and 1.-THE Awakening of Helene
Ritchie." These are two Of the cleanest
and strongest plays that ever have been
staged. They offend no one. They soil
no pure thought And they pay im>
mensely. What more could be saidT
The former of these mentioned is
something after the fashion of "The
Servant in the House." It carries the
same moral But it comes so much
nearer to the heart and the conscience,
and the everyday life Of the citizen.
The latter presents a new phase Of the
heart of a Woman-and its awakening.
Both are marvels Of good construction
Why should there be cheap and dirty
plays when these of the purest inspira-
ton bring more money? The one de-
tense for the unclean is banished in the
better profits OF the clean.

ENAcr N AID ENFoRcE IT.

1t is not every day we feel like get
ting up and putting laurel on the brow
Of one Jake Raleigh For the most
part Jake is like Joe Cannon. He swears.
But he recommends to council the en-
actment of an ordinance requiring
property owners to cut the weeds on
their premises when the weeds need it,
and when so directed by the city au-
thorities. And that is a law that should
be enacted-and enforced.
Of course, the law should operate
against the city the same as agains;
any other property owner, and it should
be sufficient defense for any accused
property owner that the city, as well
as himself, has failed to cut weeds on
its property.
With that addition, We are for Jake
and his ordinance. Salt Lake is raising
too many weeds every summer. The
city will look better when the weeds are
harvested.
So give the laurel TO Jake-along with
a picture postal card with the Third
Commandment printed on the reverse

MoxLEY AND Butter.

For some reason or other the pro-
fessional reformers of the east, the
writers who make a living by asserting
and never proving-that their coun-
tTymen are corrupt, have abandoned
the Ballinger case simultaneously with
the discovery that there is going to be
a real investigation; and have turned
their attention to William Moxley, the
new congressman from the Sixth Illi-
nOis district-the man who vas elected
to complete the term begun by Con-
gresham Lorimer, who has been pro-
NOTED to the United States Senate.
It is charged against Monkey that he
makes butterine. And on that fear
some allegation it is expected to rob
his term of usefulness.
The fight on MoxIey originates with
the butter trust, and people who have
TO pay fifty cents a pound for butter Of
which they know nothing are not going
TO get excited in assailing a man who
makes as good an article for half the
money.
There is a type of man who declares
that butter is made from the milk of
cows and butterine from fat taken
from beeves after they are slaughtered.
And what Of it? Who cares what it is
made of so long as it is chemically and
edibly the same thing as butter? And
butterine is exactly butter brought to
completed manufacture by a different
process.
The only reasonable regulation that
ever ought to be made against butter
inc is that it be sold for precisely what
it is; that the buyer be apprised of
what he is getting The laws forbid
ding coloring matter i'm butterine are
distinctly i'm the interest of the cream
cry trust, and against the interests Of
the consumers. The laws requiring
that all butteTine parcels be so labeled
that they publish the name of the con,
tents even when wrapped for removal
from the store and delivered at the
house, are rank travesties Of justice.
People should be permitted to buy
and eat butterine if they want butter
inc, and should in no way be harassed
or embarrassed in the prosecution of
their rights IN that matter by any one,
or at the dictation of any one.
If a man likes butterine it is as good
as butter.
And when it comes to the question Of
pure food laws, and the sanitary condi-
tons under which the two products are
prepared, what man alive viii pretend
that butter making is cleaner-than
anything?
Unless ffty-cent butter makes you
love the butter trust, there is small rea-
son for the average man getting ex-
cited in protest against the Sixth Illi-
nois district, and its choice of its own
congressman.

Muek.RAkER ON TIE BENCH.

Wesley o. Howard, a justice of the
New York state supreme court, on
Tuesday declared from the bench that
"at least forty per cent of all money
appropriated for public use is lost in
graft" He declares that the age Of pa
tTiotism has yielded to the age Of COM
mercialism, and asserts that the upper
most thought in the American human
mind is not the stars and stripes, but
the dollar mark.
And we believe that Justice Howard
is mistaken. If that be contempt,
make the most Of it.
This age is no more commercial than
any other. You people get the things
that Aaron Burr wrote about Alexan-
der Hamilton, and see how like the Col
lier charges Of the present were the &C
eusations Of the late days in the eight
zenith century. Get the Andrew Jack
son book in the American Statesmen
series. ard you viii thank your stars
you didn't live in an age when patriot
ism was unknown.
The assertion that forty per cent Of
every public money appropriation is lost
IN graft is so scandalously impossible
that no judge who could utter the
words can be expected to render

ALL IN The SAME BOAT.

With the exception of the incoTrigi-
BILE gentleman whose surname is Ct
Told-You-So," all fair-minded people in
Europe and America believed at the
first that DR.. Cook had told the truth.
They accepted his statement that he
had reached the north pole Mighty as
was the achievement, careful people
realized there was as yet no evidence
and, IN the nature Of things, couldn't
be until later. And the mans state
ment was accepted for the time.
DR.. Maurice Francis Egan, United
States minister to Denmark, is griev-
ously embarrassed because he accepted
DR.. Cock without question, and in a
sense lent the Endorsement Of his office
and the prestige Of America, when he
introduced the navigator to the royal
family to whose government he is ac-
credited. But DR.. Egan has no reason
for self condemnation. Shrewder men
than he have been guIled by less capa-
BILE scamps than Cook, and under cir
cumstances far less conducive to the
deceit.
DR.. Cook had been in the north three
years. People generally believed him
equipped for a journey to the pole. He
came back, and declared he had been
there. How was the world to know
any better? He had been fully accred-
tied by people who knew about arctic
exploration. It was a tremendous
thing, Of course; but most people did
just what Minister Egan did. They
believed. And if they had been in his
Office, they would doubtless have ex-
tended-as he did-every courtesy pos
sible to the returning hero of the
worlds most stupendous tale.
In it all, there is only one person to
blame. And that is the man who lied.

sound decision on any subject. There
isn't a piece of public work in York
State which could have been completed
for sixty per cent Of its cost-and this
statement will include the record of the
capitol at Albany.
1t isn't true in York State, and it isn't
true in a representative sense any
where else. Here in Utah salt Lake.
when the county-and-city building was
erected and furnished, there were
charges Of graft, and there was some
graft. But the total cost Of the work
was close to a million dollars, and at
the very outside there was possible
twenty-five thousand dollars of graft.
1t didn't amount to one-fourth of one
per cent-instead of forty per cent the
New York judge charges is the inevita-
BILE division of plumber 1t was too
much, Of course-if it were no more
than a dollar. But it was not forty
per cent"
We think there is rather more money
in some paving contracts than there
should be, and have tried, in such plain
language as came to hand, to say SO.
But there isn't a piece Of public work
in the city that could be duplicated for
sixty per cent Of its cost. If the cost
were reduced by the forty per cent de-
clared graft by the New York judge,
the work could not be done at all.
that of Justice Howard is either
demagogUe or an ignOramus. And he
may be both.

been, in many ways, the best Utah
teachers ever have known. And, far
and away. they were the best-looking
teachers that have ever assembled in
the state. That is not a conventional
fiattery Of women. 1t is a simple state
ment of fact, and includes teachers Of
both sexes. They were better looking
better dressed. appeared to be better
teachers, and certainly got more out Of
the convention than attendants at any
previous session have received.
The interests of youth are in good
hands. 1t is a pleasure to The Herald
Republican to have served so capable,
so progressive, so efficient a corps Of
educators. And it is very gratifying
to know that they appreciate the help
they received from the paper.

LOYAL MRS. MORSE.

No matter what people may think of
Charles f. Morse, the convicted and
sentenced wrecker of banks, the de-
thrOned king Of the ice trust, and the
magician of shipping interests, people
have a warm spot in their hearts for
the wife Of the convict One may
heartily indOTse every action of the
courts that have ruled against him, and
of the juries that have pronounced him
guilty; but one will think well of the
stanch little woman who gave up her
jewels and her home, her private prop
erty held before she married, and every
penny Of her own estate, to help her
husband pay his debts and keep out Of
prison.
Her loyalty has been something fine.
It has cOnuasted beautifully with the
sordid record of her husbands shady
manipulations of securities. It has
been the sole human element in one Of
the most remarkable Of criminal trials
If her husband shall be sent to the
prison at Atlanta, Mrs. Morse declares
her intention to follow him there, and
establish her residence where she can
be near him.
That is the marvel Of the woman, the
blessing Of the wife. With few excep-
lions they all are alike. They are loyal
through good and through evil report.
When the slanderer's dart
Was ranking so deep in my desOlate
heart,
was dearer than ever to you.
Fortunately, most of them have the
opportunity to prove their loyalty with
out the sorrow that has come to this
excellent wife.

WHY PEOPLE EVIDENCE HosTlL-
ITY TOWARD RAILROAD COM
PANIES,

TAlNlGQu
Railroad men sometimes express sur
prise that merchants and other ship
pers feel hostility to the transportation
companies. There is a pretty good ex-
PLANTATION Of the sentiment suggested in
a recent expression of the interstate
commerce commission. 1t is found in
the fact that, when the commission has
made a ruling, has awarded a refund Of
money to the shipper, the shipper has
been unable to convert his verdict into
cash. He has won his case, but the lit
tie matter of getting the funds back
into his possession, even after the award
of the commission is made, and the
railroad company quits struggling.
seems impossible of accomplishment.
That sort of thing angers the shipper
1t has a good deal to do with provoking
and fostering the hostility of the aver
age citizen against the corporation.
Men like to believe that when they
have taken a case before the interstate
commerce commission, and have tried
it and won it, and have been awarded a
judgment for a certain amount Of
money-that they should have the cash
without any more ado. And when they
find themselves unable to get it, they
naturally become hostile to the trans
pOrtatiOn companies.
That statement of the commission
that a certain litigant died before the
award could be collected, and that even
then the commission had. to make a sec
ond order, directing the money to be
paid to the estate-that sort Of thing
accounts for a good deal of the attitude
Of discomfort on the part Of the people.
And it is mighty easy to correct it.
