The DUTY ON HIDES.

It was believed by some that the peo-
pie of the United States would gain
something of value when the duty on
hides was repealed. But it is now def
nitely ascertained that dealers abroad
have advanced the selling price Of hides
precisely the amount taken off in the
American tariff law.
The effect Of it is that American pro-
ducers gain nothing, the consumer pays
just as much for his manufactures of
leather, and the foreigner gets the ben
eft of our own reduction of the tariff
The reform" was made chiefly at the
instance Of the eastern shoe manufac-
turers. And a writer for the New York
Press expresses the hope that they
like the work they have done. And he
adds the story of the man in the hos
pital: L was we'll. I wished to be bet
ter. I took medicine. And here 1 amp

INVESTIGATE THE STRIKE.

Some of the labor leaders at the east
are asking the government to investi-
gate the recent strike near Pittsburg,
and ascertain authoritatively the causes
and the incidents Of that unhappy, dis
astrous affair.
And that seems a proper employment
for the government at Washington.
There is a department of commerce and
labor, and it could do nothing more
helpful to the cause OF labor, or to the
interests of commerce, than to get at
the exact facts in connection with that
strike i'll Pennsylvania, ana place the
truth before all the people.
Many men were killed in actual bat
tie there. Some of them were laborers,
some were members Of the state con-
stabulary. There was a labor dispute
involving thousands of men who,
whether or not they are yet citizens Of
the United States, are in this country;
are working in one Of the mills Of this
country; are making a product used and
paid for by the people OF this country

TOO sHREwp EOS A JEST,

Harper's has a story told as Joke.
but which carries a salty quality of
more than ordinary accusation to many
a man.
The mistress asked Nora If she were
happy IN her married life, and Nora re-
piled that she was; and added: IF you
could see how he treats me. you would
think he was a friend instead of hus-
band"
Many a truthful word spoken in
jest" said the old clown. And there is
a sermon in that brief reply Of Nora.
Evidently, the husband was kind and
gentle and considerate Of Nora. Evil
IDENTIFY he considered her wishes, and
provided for her wants Evidently he
took the trouble to find the things she
liked to do, and exerted himself now
and again to please her.
But is there anything in all that so
unlike the usual conduct of a husband?
Has Nora indicted the whole tribe Of
married men?

NIB. LAJoIE,s WISDOM.

People who follow the news Of the
sporting page have been interested in
the little tilt between Napoleon Lajoie
and the owners of his baseball club.
For a long time it has been an open Sc
cret that the owners have forced Lajoie,
the manager, to take on men in whom
he had no cause fer confidence. And his
team has suffered because Of it. So that
he came to the place where he declined
to longer be known as manager.
He IS probably the most popular play
er in baseball Exceedingly competent
himself, he has had the faculty Of get
ting united action from his men. And
so long as he could select the players;
so long as those players knew they were
subject to Lajoie's dismissal, he got
good results. Just as soon as men were
forced into the team over his head, and
knew they had backing in an owner,
the efficiency Of the team was lost
It is an excellent thing to give the
manager authority, and then hold him
responsible. If he be a true manager,
he VIII get results. If he isn't, he can
be removed. And no success will follow
the system of making the manager re-
sponsible for results and refusing him
the power to get those results.
McGraw is Objectionable in many
ways. But he is a captain from the
ground up. And he could lead a win
a mistaken management.
Even the magnates in baseball may
learn something to their advantage.

THEY WANT THEIR BRIDGE.

over at Myton, and throughout the
region which was formerly the Uintah
Indian reservation, the people are very
much pleased with the congressional
appropriation Of $4,000 for a new bridge
over the Duchesne river. But they
want the bridge. And to that end
large number Of residents Of Myton and
its neighborhood have petitioned SEN
ator Smoot to hurry up the work, so
that the abutments, at least, may be in
place before the ground freezes this fall.
Otherwise, they are certain the floods
Of next spring would do even more
damage than is usual And the usual
has been rather more than enough.
They are perfectly right, and the SEN
ator viii do all in his power to hasten
the work. As we understand it, this
appropriation is now available. II that
is the case, there should be no difficulty
in responding to the request of the Uin-

LIKE THE COMMISSION PLAN.

Salt Lake seems likely to get another
chance 49, maybe several successive
chances-to adopt the commission plan
Of city government. And if it can be
managed wisely, there is hope for bet
ter results than the present plan re-
veals.
Clinton Woodruff of Philadelphia has
become a prophet of the commission
plan, and he has recently told the world
that more than a hundred American
cities have sought the help of the Ma
tional Municipal league in their efforts
to better their form Of civic control. He
adds that forty cities have adopted the
commission form Of government, and
are successfully working under it.
Dubuque, a near neighbor of Des
AIoines, is one that has waited to see
the plan in operation, and then has
adopted it. A business administration
seems to be attractive to men who
make American cities.

SERMONS AT THE BALL PARK.

Up in Minneapolis the pastor of one
of the churches went to the ball park
where the teams had assembled for a
Sunday game, and told the people he
saw no reason why they shouldn't see
the sport, even if his engagements made
it impossible for him; that he believed
a majority of those present had no 9TH
er opportunity. And the only sin he
could see in a Sunday game was for the
Minneapolis team to lose. And before
he was fairly down town, the home team
won.
A little while ago Rev. Mr.. Short Of
this city preached to the bicycle riders
and their friends. He had the whole
saucer track contingent-riders, train
ers and fans-before him. Some of
them hadn't been in a church for so
long that they expected to be scoIded.
But they heard only commentator for
clean sport, and the urging to make
their whole lives as clean.
It would seem that the churches have
taken cognizance Of that element in the
community which follows sport for a
living, and the related element that en-
joys contests. The impression that any
one engaging in a trial Of skill and en-
durance is wicked, and to be placed
under the ban, is passing away.
There is salvation in right athletics
And that is a good thing, because, for
the most part, the people engaged in
any sport are fairly good men. They
may not make much of a pretense Of
religion; but they observe the cardinal
requirements on which all religious life
is based. They keep their promises.
They are fair to all men. They strive
for excellence.
When they don't do that. they are
held in disesteem by their fellows, as
they are disapproved by the moral law,
and condemned by the religious. And
since a large and increasing number Of
men follow sports for a living, the gra-
cious attention Of the ministers might
not be a bad thing for the churches.
We Of Salt Lake may not care to go
so far as the Minneapolis minister went;
but then, we don't have to. The sport
ing men here are not so distant stran-
gers to the means of grace as they are
in Minnesota.
The Salt Lake herald-Republican. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1909-1918, 1909-08-31

and those men are menl Whether or
not we like their habits and their
speech, they are human beings. Their
being good or being bad affects the
goodness and the badness of the nation
And they are absolutely and unquali-
hedly entitled to justice.
The labor leaders make the point
that, since the steel products are pro-
tected by government, the government
is under obligation to make the inquiry.
And there may be something IN that
Neither the company nor the employee
lives to himself alone. The nation has a
right to know all the facts connected
with the strike, and to form a judgment
which viii tend to prevent a repetition
Of such disasters.
The Salt Lake herald-Republican. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1909-1918, 1909-08-31
BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION.

Chicago Tribune: Business administra-
ton in public offices is becoming increas-
ingly popular. The idea of wastefulness
has long held sway. People have become
so accustomed TO the belief that public
officials keep short hours, take things
easy and use freely the supplies and the
funds Of government state, or city that
the popular thought has become almost
a justification for such methods of con-
Quoting public business.
That notable change is taking place
IS evidenced by many illustrations. Econ
Oiny is the policy Of the Taft administra-
ton. The methods employed by Secre-
tary MacVeagh in the treasury depart
ment have won favorable comment. The
pCstmas ter general is looking after econo-
mics. The possibility of finding a suitable
device by the use Of which time ana
twine may be saved in tying up the mail
has interested inventors, and, at the same
time, has helped TO emphasize the new at
titude toward public administration.
The proposition to raise the fee for reg
istratiOn from s cents to 10 IS another
case in point The registering OF letters
and parcels is counted a valuable service
to all who use is as a measure Of safety.
A fee of 10 cents would be paid as cheer
fully as one of s. Like the special deIiv-
cry fee, this extra charge helps to SUD
port feature Of the postal service whose
cost is relatively high. If there is a reg
ular deficit Of large amount year after
year, steps to reduce the size of the deficit
should be taken, particularly when the
proposed additional expense to the indi-
vidual viii be so slight.
1t may have startled some government
employees, but It was good business sense,
when the announcement was made. that
vacations were TO be adjusted to the con-
ditiOns in the offices, and that, undfr no
circumstances, should the individual seek
rest for himself until his work was in
such shape that his absence from his post
would be attended by a minimum Of loss
to the public service. In this ruling, as in
the study Of the other economies men
toned, the new spirit in the administra-
ton of government is seen. It is a hope
full sign. There is bound to be increased
efficiency, and that, too, with savings in
expense. The modern business man has
set the pace. The government officials
seem inclined to follow him.
