Many of the inexperienced appli- cants are obviously impossible but even among those who are sufficient ly promising to receive more than passing consideration the proportion of inexperienced is overwhelming. Indeed, of the 700 men whose names are now on the waiting list" of eligi- bles at the secret service-that is men who have complied with the civil service regulations governing applications for places in the secret service-more than 500 admit that they are totally devoid of practical experience in this line.
 With a profession which above all others needs devotees who can bring to it wide knowledge and thorough training, yet with most applicants sorely deficient in these qualifca- tions, the question naturally sug- gests itself: Where does the secret service secure it's agents? In reply it may be said that upward of doz- en different callings have demon strated their value as fields of ap- premiership.

SUGGESTIONS FROM FARMERS.
Census Director Durand Invites Prac-
tical Cooperation.


Washington, d. c., Sept. s, 1909
The farmers of the United States are
naturally very much interested in the
census of agriculture and farms that
Will be taken April Is, 1910, as one of
the subjects to be covered by the thir-
teenth decennial census. Many are
showing their interest by writing to
the census bureau for the purpose of
making comments upon census infor-
nation regarding agriculture as pre-
scented in the past. The director of the
census welcomes all such suggestions
and gives them careful consideration, as
he is anxious to have the results of the
coming census correspond as nearly as
may be to the desires of the people
most interested
In addition to studying carefully
these suggestions, the director has on
has own initiative requested certain
professors of economics and agriculture
of the more important universities of
the country, and other persons who
have specialized in agricultural mat
tiers, to come to Washington for a short
time for the purpose of studying care
fully and criticising plans now under
way.
The department is also seeking to Sc
cure the advice and cooperation, as far
as possible, Of the officers and experts
of the department of agriculture, Of the
state agricultural colleges, farmers so.

BOTH BUTT AND BORE.

The Doseret News has been insisting q
that The Tribune misrcpresentcd Smoot
i'll its Washington reports as to his OBJ
icctionablc, stupid, ignorant, and bump.
tious nagging in the Senate, 1t denied
the accuracy of our reports, and con
tended that Smoot stands high in the
estimation of the Senators, instead Of
being the object of their contempt. 1t
Kept this up until along came a body
blow to its windy conccit, in the form
of a severe rcbuke delivered to Smoot
by Senator Gore. And now the News
thinks that Senator Gore .'forgot
courtesy when he knocked Smoot
out
But Smoot had made himself Seua-
torial nuisance. He ',butted in on
every occasion, and without occasion.
He even undertook TO cnlighten the
Senators from the cotton States on the
growing of cotton and the production of
cotton seed oil. Smoot seems to think
that this oil could be made in any part
of the world where labor is cheap, no
matter whether cotton or cotton seed is
raised in that part of the world or not.
He was promptly snubbed and sat upon
for his ignorant presumption, by Sena-
tors Tillman and Money. And now
Senator Gore knocks Smoot out in one
contemptuous phrase, ''thc high priest
of high tariff, the anointcd apostle of
protection.
The significance of this savory refer
ence to the dual capacity in which
Smoot appears in the Senate appears
to be lost on the News. But it is one
of the disabilities of the mixture of
ecclesiastical and secular affairs, that
the ecclesiast is not able TO divest him
self Of his priestly office even which
he would be glad to do so; but must
answer for his ecclesiastical position in
bis secular position, 1t is himself who
projects this anomalous condition into
civil affairs, by intruding his sacred
office into mere secular and civil af.
fairs. And whatever awkwardncss re-
suits, he is himself to blame for, by get.
ting into that dual position And while
courtesy is always we'll, politics is often
rough school. and men are apt 10
consider outspokenness and whatever
advantage is TO be gained, preferable TO
politcness.
The facts, as reported, fully bear out
our own reports, and Justify and carry
out the proposition that Smoot is at
once the butt and the bore Of the Sen
ate. He had better resign and come
home.

the Descret News, where the church or.

The real cause Of the trouble is as
none knows better than The Tribune
the failure OF ex-senator kearns to Sc

not today have been any paralyzed

all those horrors would disappear tomor-

possible that II could obtain an assurance
that the people of Utah have repented of
the deadly sin OF not re-clecting Mr.
kearns to the United States Senate
Now, the resolution TO form the new
party here was taken in a public meet

was months before the campaign
opened in which the Legislature to elect
Senator kearns' successor was even
nominated. The American party was or
ganlzed in the fall before the cam
paign fairly opened The candidates
for the Legislature had not even been
nominated, much less elected.
Now, if the News assertion is true
that it had been determined So long
before, that Mr.. Kearns should not
succeed himself in the United States
Senate. what was the power that made
this determination? Obviously it must
have been the church. What, then, is
the sense i'll claiming that the church
is not in politics? 1T is clear that no
other power is competent to make such
determination that long in advance of
political action, so that if it was made,
so long before the political processes
that would actively decide the matter
had been held. it must necessarily have
been church determination, and the
dominance Of the church is clear, on the
News's own showing.

as they seem TO do, there Will he lit-

DEBT LIMITS AND ACCOUNTS.

IL is not always easy to ascertain the
amount of debt that city may vet in.
cur: but seldom is it that there is so
wide discrepancy IN the figures as
was recently shown in New York, To
be sure New York is very big city.
and its financial affairs are conducted
on a scale of magnisicence elsewhere
unknown; but one would think that the
very magnitude Of its transactions
would compel carcfulncss and accuracy;
otherwise, the confusion would be in
supportablc,
And yet, keen controversy arose in
that city recently on the amount Of the
debt margin, and the experts differed
so widely that the public could form
no opinion The comptroller (who
ought to know definitely put tbe mar.
gin at $2,oO0,0O0 TO $3,Oo0.000; the
Bureau of Municipal Research, (Which
presumably would not know,) at less
than $l,0o0,000; the legislative invest-
eating committee at $35 100000, and
Gen. Benz, +. Tracy at $1O6,205, ,7l4.66
So wide difference as this called
for reconsideration; and the Supreme
Court was appealed to for ruling. 1T
upheld Gen. Tracy's figures, and the
debt limit of that city is found now
TO yet allow Of the issue of some $780,
100000 more bonds. A mere bapa.
teIlc for New York, but in itself n
tidy sum.
But New York should keep her ac.
counts with more accuracy. And Salt
Lake: WISER than the great metropolis,
mas provided itself with a system of
keeping accounts so perfect that, like a
pank, financial balance can be struck
any day. 1t is a system which will be
or immense benefit to the city, and will
eventually save many times its cost.

THE UTAH LAKE PROBLEM.

The high water in Utah Lake is caus
ing trouble again. 1t always docs
when there comes high water season,
And every time it occurs, there are
those who make rash suggestions and
| propose destructive action, like That
Just urged to blow up the outlet and
so release The water that Salt Lake
county would be drowned out. But thus
far in the years that have passed, no
such radical and destructive IDEAS have
been put into execution, and 1T is not
( likely that they will be this year.
But it is serious question, and
permanent cure for the trouble should
he sought. 1t has been proposed that
| the private lands along the shores of
the lake, that have been flooded, should
be bought from private hands, and
thereby reduce the acutcness or the
complaint of damage by floods. But it
would be costly and non-rcmnncra-
tive way of settlement, Far better
would be some plan of lcvccs and back
filing than the waste Of such purchase
for the purpose of leaving the lands
idle.
There should be "A complete expert
examination of the low-lying lands
about the lake shore, including "A com
plcte Typographical scrvey; first, to as
certain tho best, most permanent, and
most economical method Of solving the
problem, and then, that plan, after
thorough examination and approval.
should be pursued till the final compile
tion Of whatever work is found practi
cal and necessary.
The cost of doing this work might
be divided between this county and
Utah county, as the two interests chief
lv affected The compromise point y
settlement, marked by stone pillar,
was arrived at by conference be,
tween these two interests. But 1t is
found TO be short of final settlement.
And it was of no special economic ad-
vantage. 1t works all right when there
is nothing the matter, when there is
no great flooding. But right there is
where a remedy is needed, and should
be sought and found.
1t is very likely that this perma-
ncnt solution of the problem could be
found in the lcvce system and in the
filing in behind the levees that would
make good tillable land Of large
tracts that are now mere swamps, allow
ing plenty of shore line for what
ever rise might come. And in that way
the added value to the great acreage
would probably compensate for the
work needed to be done. And now, when
the people s attention is directed to this
matter so keenly, is the right time to
take up the whole question and try for
a permanent solution of the problem.
