for buildings on South Broadway. One is
at 1874 and is for Clara B. Burdette, to cost
10000. 1t will be a seven story structure.
The other is for a lot at 73O, and is for P.

port that there are numerous applications
for plans for smaller business structures,

improvements north of First street is said
to be good. partly owing to the new post
office building, and the starting of work
on the hall of records for the county.

pEAPINe THE HARVEST.

The train OF consequences following a
race track gambling meet is as regular
and inevitable as the sequence of the
seasons. 1t begins with the arrival Of
the crooks. the touts, the hold-ups who
always follow the horses; then come
the petty crimes, the pocket-picking,
the occasional sandbagging Of the IN
wary, the increase of police station
cases; then come embellishments. for
geries, thefts by trusted employees who
have gone wrong, and finally comes the
awakening Of public sentiment that
drives out the original cause or all the
trouble.
Salt Lake and Ogden have had the
whole program now except the public
awakening, and that seems to be com
ing fast One Of the bank presidents
Of the city telephoned The Herald yes
terday to commend its attitude on the
racing question. His bank had Just
been rejecting forged checks drawn to
get money for race track gambling, and
he knew what he was talking about.
Another prominent merchant, the en-
ployer of a number of men, said his
employees had all lost the little money
they had saved, and some of them had
borrowed from him to meet their
household expenses.
These are some Of the direct, tangible
results Of horse racing; the indirect
losses, which run into thousands Of dol
lars daily, the diversion Of money from
legitimate trade channels, the demorali-
cation Of the public constituencies
results cannot be measured, but they
are none the less damaging and dan
gerous.
Meanwhile it must be remembered
that the horse owners come here as
guests Of the state, under state on1cial
auspices. and for this privilege they are
paying money 20 the state. Just what
Income is afforded from this source has
not been published, nor is it important
Whatever is paid is taken from the
pockets of men and women who cannot
afford to pay; and it is taken from
them publicly by a gambling game

FUTURE BIG WITH PROMISE.

Not content with the long hours Of
daylight in June, the building boom in
Salt Lake has reached a point where
the electric lights have been turned on
and the work carried on during the
night. Prosperity has come to Salt
Lake through the enterprise and fore
sight of her men of wealth, citizens who
did not faIter or lose faith during the
crash Of 1907, and who are still follow
ing the youth bearing the banner On
which is emzlazoned Excelsior"
Take any street you will; visit any
suburb of the city, and the conclusion
will be forced home that the improve
ments now being made but point the
way to salt Lakes future greatness
and that progressive citizens are work
ing day and night for the common good
Of all, and that neither politics nor re-
ligion will be allowed to stand in the
way.

INCOMPETENT AND DIscoURTE-

In spite OF the common and contin-
nous public criticism of the city health
department. The Herald has been in
clined TO make some allowance for the
difficulties attending the administra-
ton OF the department at this time of
year An experience Of yesterday, how
ever, has convinced US that the depart
ulsnt employees are not only incompe-
tent, but that they add offensive dis
courtesy TO ineficiency and disregard
OF their duty to the public. The head
OF the department, DR.. Stewart, either
ought to reorganizs his force and begin
by paying some personal attention to
the work for which he is paid, or else
he ought to resign and make way for
somebody who VIII see that the health
of the city is protected and the public
servants in his employ are taught COM
mon dsoency.

uated contains a number Of restaurants,
large Office buildings and establish
ments which contribute heavily TO the

Commercial block reported to The Her

been made there since last Saturday,
and all the garbage cans on Second

Another empIoye, who was asked to
explain, said ne would see what was the
matter-a response that seems to be the
stsreotyped way of avoiding work in
the health department.
Taking this incident as a sample. it
Is no wonder the vital statistics Of Salt
Lake stand as a monument to the neg
lect OF his official duties by Dr.. Stewart
and the Incompetence Of the men upon
whom he is depending to protect the
life and health of the citizens of salt
Lake.

Twentieth Century Egypt
~. Egypt for the Egyptians"
BY FREDERIC J. HAsKIN,

must have chafed bitterly at the realize
uon that it was the chains of the law of
the prophet that bound his people in an
intellectual prison
No one can say that Moustsfa Pasha
lived and worked in vain He awOke the
emoers Of a latent national patriotism to
glowing life He taught the people to
read newspapers and to take lively in
lerest in governmental affairs. He
brought support to the cause of general
education He organized a party Of ma
tive Egyptians TO strive for a national
autonomy by peaceful means and not by
armed revolt. In the Occident such things
are born in men as a heavenly birthright.
In the Orient these things must be
brought to a people from without. Nous
tata Kamel Pasha did that. Strange as
It may seem. the net result is that Eng
lands task of governing the nation has
been made easier for the time being,
whatever the future may hold. Although
admitting that England has done great
good in Egypt, the unbiased observer
probably will conclude by INDUCING the
hope that in some not distant day a free
Egyptian government will erect SPLEEN
