THE SCHOOL ACCOUNTS

II appcars from the testimony OF
Mr. Bridwcll. superintendent of build
iucs for the Board of Education in
this city. that his accounts arc in scri-
ous disorder. He paws bills twice over
once from his private account, ana
once out of public money. And he
doesn t know how many times he has
done this. nor, apparently, whether OF
not nc has got the worse OF IT. But
il may be confidently assumed that who
ever gets the worse Of this sort of care
lcssness (to use the miidest word pos
sible), Bridwei does not. And oven
with the payroll in his possession,
which would have shown in a moment
that the employee had been paid, Brid'
well calmly proceeds 10 pay hlm again
on the same account. In one case, IT
even appears that but one day elapsed
between the Two payments.
Manfcstly. carelessness such as Bird
well confesses leads 10 corruption.
And while it is true that no great
amounts are involved in the irregularI'
ties so far discovered, the disquietlng
thought remains that if this sort of
thing prevails at all (and it is shown
to have prevailed in q good many
cases. IL may have prevailed in far
more cases that have not been brought
10 light Mr. Bridwel has held bis
present position good many years.
If his business methods generally are
such as have been disclosed, and as he
admits, there is no telling how much
money has been wrongfulIy paid out in
duplicate or other form of Irregular
! ty. And this money so paid wrongly
must eventually have come out of the
public funds, for Mr.. Bridwcll would
not be able TO pay the cost OF his care
| Icssncss TO any considerable extent.

SMOOT STILL AT 1T.

Ii appears from our Washington dis
patch Of yesterday morning, that Smoot
is stin at It, buttng in on every
speech that a Senator makes. and IN
nicting himself upon tho whole Senate
as a nuisance of volubiIity, No Senator
can rise and make any remarks about
the tariff bill without constant inter
ruptions from Smoot, and the Scna-
tors are getting very tired of 1t. Ills
interruptions show neither coEsldcra-
ton for his fellow Senators, nor intclI'

those of the Senate Finance Commit

Senate Finance Committee. is annoyed
by Smoot's nagging aud his utter lack
of consideration tor other Senators, and
on the barrcnncss of his information
and his mind on the questions that he
attempts to discuss.
And so, Smoot has been advised TO

heretofore unknown, if an apostle of
tho Mormon church should admit that

admit the ridiculous idea that any voice
other than his own was worthy of be-

IT'S "sTOCKADE" RAWLINGS.

In its wild and cxtravagant rSGc be-
cause it can not get the political cap
ital that il hoped to rake in by at
lacking Ceunty-Attorncy Job Lyon, the
Smoot ''Mouthn has finally staggered
over to lis old stamping ground in its
charge that the American party is re
sponsiblc for the cred light district
The luxtaposition of the Republican
County Attorney with the American
party in this connection. shows the alb
surd inconsistency of the Mouth. for
Mr.. Lyon is by no means an American
party man. and according TO its wild
blcating. he is just now the mainstay
and defense of that "rcd light dis
trict This contention would. from
It's twisted view. make Mr.. Lyon an
American party man, and would al least,
to that extent, confess the victory of
the American party at last falls cleo
ton, so far as his Office is concerned.
But such n suggestion is too wild to
be discussed outside of the insane
asylum.
80 lar rs iHc American party IN con-
ccrned on this case, its record is abso
mfelv clear The American Club was
the first organization in this city to
dcnounce the establishment of the red
light district. It's repeated declarations
in every possible form condemned that
district. IT has never tampered with
or bcsmirchcd itself in that matter in
Inc smallest degree.
On the contrary, the State admins
tration which licensed the company
that is alleged TO be putting in this
cred light district. is primarily cen
surable for the existence of this plague
SPOT: and the State administration is
culpable in licensing it. If any officials
are responsible for the presence of any
fallen women in that district, those of

DEATH OF MIR, ROGERS.

Henry II. Rogers. who died Yesterday
in New York, was one Of tho most i'm
portaut figures in American business
life He was n Standard Oil magnatc, !,
he was railroad macnatc; he was a
mining magnatc; he was mighty
money magnate; he was great indus
trial magnatc, and hc was a magnatc
in the charitable world
He made much Of his money in WAYS
that are now condemned, by combina-
tions; driving out competitors, some
times with fcrocious brutality; by re-
bates; and by taking every possible ad-
vantage. But he won, and that seemed
TO him and TO his generation tho main
thing Men fought him and denounced
him, but they admired and feared him.
And often his way was made smooth
by the very fact that to resist him
was futile and might DC dangerous.
He was man of good fore'houaht;
he made his plans with marvellous skill,
taking into account all the factors IN
the problem. and when he was ready
and rcmorscless energy. And at the
last he exhibited the same traits of
forcthought and exact preparation. For,
warned by a stroke of apoPlcSy in 1901
he proceeded TO "put his house in or
der and SO arrange his affairs that
his death viii cause no break in the
steady flow Of his business. The latest
of his great achievements was tho
building of tho "Dccp. Watcr" rail
way. from West Virginia to the At
laptic. which he made personal mat.
ter, and which cost hjm Slu,UuU,OOO.
But il is magnificent property, and

Smoot "Mouth'' to try TO get away
from these facts. In its ranting and
raviug against County Attorney Lyon,
IL seems demcnted on the main facts,
and on the actual situation with respect
to that cred light district. - And its ac-
tivity in this matter, rs we have al
ready pointed out, is not inspired in

public or for public morals, but comes
solely from its malcvolcnt auimosity

SALT LAKE AND SPOKANE.

II appears that the business men of
Spokane and the shippers at that point
are discontcnted with the ruling of the
Interstate Commerce Commission grant
ing them large concessions in trans
portatlon rates over the railroads. com
pared with rates heretofore charged.
They want lot more than has been
granted. and have formed definite
plans 10 lower the schedule of trans
continental freight rates recommended
by the commission. The shippers claim
that tho commission s schedule does not
agree with the principles laid down by
the commission in determining the case.
a further hearing is to he had. and the
shippers will insist upon having schcd.
ulc prepared that will conform 10 the
principles declared by the commission
to be binding in the case.
This is exactly right; the community
should insist upon its rights and hold
the commission 10 the practical apPli-
cation Of the principles announced as
controlling the ease We glory IN
Spokane S spunk. and we would like TO
see it cmulatcd all over the country.
In Salt Lake City especially, We
should like to sec the shippers support
with absolute unity the traffic bureau
in its efforts 10 enforce right charges
here. and apply in the schedules the
principles announced in the Spokane
case.
II is nonscnsicaI proposition alto
gcthcr. that is suggested in the Smoot
"Mouth' - that the city abandon the
battle for better freight rates. 1t says
that attempts have been made hy the
railroads 10 induce the shippers here
and the traffic bureau to abandon the
campaign. We have neither seen nor
heard Of any such suggestion as this
except that contained in the Smoot
Mouth We do not believe that
ANYBODY else has made any such sug,
gestion, and do not believe that the
railroads have made any such efforts.
The case has gone too far for that; and
oven il it had not gone as far as 1t
has. there would bc no disposition 10
abandon the battle On the con
trary, the bureau is very rcsolute to
press right on and win the fight, for
there can he no reasonable doubt, of
winning it on. the strong presentation
which Salt Lake is preparing to
make.
The traffic burcau has the matter
well advanced, both in general and in
detail, and viii be prepared 10 meet
the Interstate Commerce Commission at
the earliest day which it can possibly
fix for the reception Of the complaint
and The hearing of testimony. Any
suggestion of abandoning the case is
The suggestion Of traitor, and in this
case the treason is undoubtedly inspired
by the lust and sensible demand of the
business men Of this city that the poll
ticans keep their hands off, and let the
ease proceed on its Just merits from a
business standpoint and not be switched
off into the mirc Of partisan rascallty,
ms some of the politicians appear deter
mined 10 do. The Mouth - is their
organ and evidently il docs not want
anything TO be done at all, unless It's
particular crowd Of graftcrs can make
political capital out of it. All that
Salt Lake City asks Of them is-and
this asking IS a demand-that they keep
their hands off, and let the case be
won. on purely business lines.
