at the scene of the derailme1t few
minutes after the accident occurred,
and interviewed passengers, who
stated that aside from realizing that
the train had been brought TO a sud
den stop for some unknown cause
TO them they were not in the least
disturbed, for not one OF the coaches
left the track and it is well they did
not, or different story would be
written today. Among the passen-
gers on the train who got of at the
Quincy station was Claude Pennoyer.
He stated that he felt the air brakes
being applied and thought there was
something wrong but as long as the
coaches were on the track he was
satisfied that the worst had passed.
No less than fifteen to twenty ties
were broken in the bridge beside
many others that must be replaced
because of being damaged.
A man who was watching the train
come over the bay island embank-
ment Informed Journal man that the
engineer was running his engine at a
fast rate and had not slowed down
very much when the obstruction was
encountered. The orders both from
the railroad company as well as the
government are that all trains must
come to stop at the semiphore be-
fore crossing the bridge.
The train arrived at the local pas

1t was but minute or two after

man Jimmy Moore saw the train
stop suddenly. He Immediately ran
to the office Of the Quincy Coal Co.,

STUMBLE ON PLAIN FACTS.

Plain facts seem to be the stumbling
block of our friends, the railroad men,
in their labors before the interstate
commerce commission. They find diff
Guilty in explaining why they cannot af-
ford to ship from the east to Salt Lake
for the same money they receive for
shipping from the east through Salt
Lake and to the coast.
That will be one of the stubborn facts
not easily explained away in the final
determination of the case. And it is one
of several We do not mean to PREJUDICE
the case; but it does seem that the work
of the Commercial clubs traffic bureau
has been admirably done. The unim-
paired good temper with which they
have presented their diligently gathered
data is creditable to them. And the
data itself is a monument to their in
dustry and capacity, and their fidelity
to the interests Of the people of this city
and state.
That must have been an evidence of
weakness when the railroad men showed
how Salt Lake had grown in spite of
the handicap Of rate discrimination.
And there seems no doubt every interest
of the people and of the railroads as
well would be conserved by an adjust
ment more in conformity with the equi-
ties Of the case.

SALT CITY, UTAH. WEDNESDAY 1909

didate, who helps to influence his fellow
citizens, is a better member of the re-
public than that other who declines to
take any part in politics, believing il
beneath the dignity of an American.
Good government can come only with
the activity Of the best men il politics.
One Of the lessons Theodore Roosevelt
taught the nation was that man who
wants good laws must get out and work
for them; must take part in political
activities; must exercise his rights il
he would retain them.
And the men active in politics cannot
be so bad as they are painted. since the
nation, and every state in it, has gone
forward tremendously-wh those who
regard themselves as the best citizens
habitualIy decline to have anything tC
do with practical politics"
The worst citizen is that one who new
er exercises the rights of a citizen.

WEST STUDYING GOOD ROADS.

Delegates from four Of the southwest
ern states have recently returned to
their homes from an inspection of the
highways of New Jersey. And what
they have found there they are going
to use in lettering the roads of their
respective states. When that shall have
been accomplished, Arkansas, Texas,
Oklahoma and Louisiana will have been
vastly improved.
Eastern people know New Jersey long
struggled against the propaganda of
good roads. That state had even more
than the usual number Of citizens who
could not see the economy in spending
money for good roads. They fought the
scheme of improvement for years; and
it is within the memory of men not yet
with the worst roads in the Union.
But those who saw beyond the day
insistently persevered. They worked for
years, the circle of their influence widen
ing, until the whole state caught the
infection for perfected highways; and
then all New Jersey entered with en-
thusiasm on the project. And we are
told that those are now the best roads
in the United States.
An interesting feature Of the visit Of
those delegates is that the railroad COM
panies operating in the mentioned states
paid the expenses Of the trip to New
Jersey. Railroad men know that better
public highways make for better bust
ness for the railroads; make for better
farms for bigger values, for larger
crops, and for more easy and more
profitable haulage to the trains.
No subject is more impressive than
that Of better roads. In nothing can the
people more proftabIy unite their Ia
bors. And it is pleasing to believe that
there is at work in Utah a band of men
who will never rest till the roads of this
state shall by their improvement double
the value of the farm lands in every
county.

even at the command Of the President
Of the United States; that he was or
dered as serfs are ordered to come into
the place. and that he obeyed; that Sen
ator Smoot had refused TO enter the
Unitarian church at all; that Mayor
Bransford had been purposely snubbed
by the managers Of the committee.
And, of course, there is not a word of
truth in any smallest feature of the
story.
All the town knew that. Its contra
diction comes from the Presidents own
personal companion; from the governor;
from Mayor Bransford; from Senator
Smoot-and from ten thousand people
who were personal witnesses of some de-
tail or other which proved the untruth
Of the whole.
And then the Tribune lays all the
blame for the incident on an innocent
reporter. and discharges him in dis
grace! That completes the internal
cussedness of a paper that disgraces the
community in which it is printed; the
paper that shames a people as fair and
reputable as any in the world.
The reporter is dismissed with a SOL
emn editorial condemnation, after the
editor-in-chief of the paper declared to
Governor Spry that he had personally
Investigated the story both before and
after its publishing, and knew it was
true. OF course he isn't permitted by
his Office to investigate anything. And
his belief or disbelief in any matter
isn't of the slightest consequence to the
owner Of the paper. The editor-in-chief
of the Tribune simply writes what his
characterless owners tell him to write;
and if he blunders into a voluntary edi-
| torial which they do not like. they make
him reverse himself in his own columns
next day.
In such a group Of paper-makers the
discharge of an innocent reporter for the
unspeakably base publication Of false
hood for which he was in no way on
earth responsible, is entirely to be ex-
pected. And nothing could so complete
ly round out and complete the Tribunes
record of infamy within these past few
weeks.
incidentally, the Tribune has been in
excusably deficient in its handling of
the news matters connected with Presi-
dent Taft's visit. Totally unprepared
! too arrogantly insolent to make prep
aratiOn, far too incapable to properly
! handle the interesting and important af-
fair, it has sought to cover it's daily re-
| curing failures with vicious and untrue
| attacks on the committees, and daily
! discovered ways of adding new disgraces
to its embarrassingly bad record.
And as a climax to its own climax Of
weak and wicked work, it lays the
blame on a reporter-and fires him.
We hardly think such a paper can be
helpful to any good cause; and that any
cause supporting such a paper must b
| wrong.

SecOnd-A storage reservoir
