After the Master had come and

what an epoch His coming had

appropriateness Of celebrating the

FIND CAUSE AND CURE.

Even the most charitably inclined
must admit there is something wrong
with the management of the health de-
partment when there is an epidemic of
typhoid fever in Salt Lake City.
Here are all the natural guarantees
against that typical flth disease. The
air is pure, the water is directly from
mountain springs or melting SHOWS.
There is gravity drainage TO the river.
OF all places in the world this is the
one in which a plague Of typhoid never
should be found.
The people of the city have spent a
vast amount of money to secure sani-
tary conditions. And everything is rem
dered vain and ineffective because Of
the lack of industry and attention to
duty by the men charged with the con-
duct Of the health department.
They don't know whether one Of the
streams is clean. They don't seem to
care. They have bungled their work in
the past, playing politics at public ex-
pense-and now they have the shame
of facing an epidemic OF the one dis
ease on earth for which there is no ex-
cuse.

Undoubtedly that is the wise move.
If they do not make use of the appro-

treasury; and a poor bridge would be

They will be wise to strain a point, if
they can, and get the very best bridge

RIVER TRAFFIC IN UTAH.

What do you know about freight and
passenger steamers from Green River
to Moab2 That is one of the things the
people Of eastern Utah are working for.
Not long ago they sent a party down
the Green river and up the Grand, the
purpose Of the trip being to ascertain
the feasibility of putting on packets;
and the Dispatch says:
According to a recent compilation Of sta
tistics, 1000 tons of coal and 1850 tons of
merchandise are each year shipped into
the town Of Moab and more than 600 tons
of fruit are shipped out OF there annually.
If this tonnage could be handled by water
via Green river, the benefits that would
accrue to Green River town would be
considerable.
There is a thing that ought to be en-
Outraged, and which certainly should
pay. Also. it will be the most beautiful
steamboat trip in all the world

where the good old bishop exerted him
self to the utmost to show her every

how many children he had. Tt happens

INSTRUCTED BY PRESIDENT

1t is worth much to the people of the
west-and we believe to the people
everywhere-that President Taft selects
matters Of current governmental inter
est as the basis Of his speeches. Some
chief executives have hattered the peo-
pie by telling them Of local affairs
carrying Goals to Newcastle. The thing
had its happy side. Men like to know
that their famous features have reached
the attention of a President.
But it is more proftable-and in the
end it will be more agreeable-to have
the laws of the land interpreted by the
highest executive authority; and the
necessities of the people named, and the
methods of achieving results pointed
aOut. With all, there is an evidence that
the President is one with the millions
of the American people. that he is seek
ing reforms for them; that he is not the
partisan Of any special interest, but the
wise and able adviser Of all the people.
1t gives promise of justice for the
masses; a promise to terminate. in so
var as may be, whatever of injustice
may exist.
And that is all the people want. They
ask no favors-and they very strongly
object to having others enjoy special
privileges.
Corporation tax, and income tax, and
i1nheritance tax are big terms, and diff
cult of understanding TO busy people
The President makes these subjects
holear in his talks on this get-acquainted
Journey. Reading what he says helps
one to am explanation, He has vital
lied the big questions. and made them
She common property of all.
While the President will doubtless
lsain information on his journey it is
certain the people are gaining nstruc-
ton from him. And they are gaining
smother thing. They are seeing more
and more clearly that the President of
she United States is their friend.

state; the latter navigated it with the

Portola cast anchor in San Francisco

Really, the old Spaniard's name is but
the peg on which to hang the city's

months; its re-establishment as a COM
