New York-Gen. William Booth.
founder and commander-in-chief OF the
Salvation Army, celebrated his eight
teth birthday on Saturday, April 10.
and the event was made the occasion
of rejoicing all over the civilized
world. The Army itself held big meet
ings in every city and town where 1t
is established, and these were partici-
pated in by hundreds of thousands OF
other citizens who were glad 10 do
honor to the distinguished philan-
thropist.
Gen. Booth himself presided over
several monster mass meetings in
London. His advanced age and the
fact that he was operated on recently
for cataract did not deter him from
taking part in the celebrations held by
his devoted soldiers
University OF Humanity Launched.
In America the day was marked
especially by the launching of another
of Gen. Booths original schemes for
social reform in the United States
At every post of the army was an
nounced the beginning of work to
found a University of Humanity. a
great institution for the training OF
workers in social service. The uni.
versity will be divided between New
York and Chicago, and it is expected
to begin with fund of $1,000. 900. The
gathering of this fund is the work
that the army now enters upon in
commemoration of its famous leaders

AS a much-needed stone in the great
organizational structure that William
Booth has been building during the
past AZ years, this idea of a school
for the systematic training of his
workers has been in his mind for sew.
eral years. On his last visit to the
United States the general made his
first tentative announcement of the
plan. Since then he has worked out
many of the details and he has lust
consented to the beginning OF pre-
1iminary work in this country where
the need for trained workers has been
especially great.

that the whole intricate modern ma

system of charities now so essential

they had, and that they must be

vi the principal helps to our unity.
We stand for the old truths. The
faith which can be interpreted in
terms of duty. of unselfishness, of
purity, of love to God and man. is the
only faith we really care about. What.

minority. the consciousness of sin,

HOW LONG, o LORD, HOW Loue7
(NIornlnp Examiner, }


Tho people of Ogden are getting
pretty tired of plodding through mud
knee deep where the paving contrac-
tors have torn mp the streets. They
want to know how much longer they
arc TO be subjected TO the delays oil
the contractors They are asking how
much longer Washington avenue is CO.
ing to be left in the disgraceGul con-
dillon I'm which IL is today and In
which it has been for so long a time.
The contractors maniiestly do not
care about the public. They follow
the example OF the late Mr Wander
bilt. who said the public be damned.
They arc making no effort worthy the
name TO press the work on Washing
ton avenue.
All people who live In this region
know that z. j Moran does good work
and does II quickly when he wants TO.
When the council awarded the contract
for paving to MIR, Moran the people
expected that their streets would be
paved with all reasonable speed, Then
Moran sub-let the contract, and the
] sub-contractors tore up the streets and
they are stll torn up.
| Washington avenue In its present
state is a disgrace to the city. II the
contractors were not ready to proceed
with the paving of the street they
ought to have let the street alone. No
good has resulted from the tinkering
that has been done, and no good Will
result from it. 1t is silly to think
/ that one or two men with shovels and
picks-or half a dozen at most-can
make any headway on mile or two
miles of street And that is about the
/ limit of the force that has been at
work lately
Whenever II rains the water fills the
great holes that have been dug In
the street and teams and pedestrians
are compelled TO founder about as
best they may, 1t means two days OF
cleaning afterwards for a woman to
attempt Washington avenue
Pat Moran has the equipment to put
Ogden streets In shape. He ought to
do 1t. The people are becoming lmpa'
tient of delay and they have right
to. If even a small effort at progress
were being made the complaints would
not be so bitter, for the people OF OG-
den are lonS-suGerlng and inclined TO
be easy-going even TO their own dis
comfort. But there Is limit TO all
things. The street paving in Ogden,
being one of all things, therefore, has
its limit. too
1t is the Examiners friendly advice
to the contractors that they get TO
work.

in accord With Governor Spry in his

have been making a study of the TAX

THE board admits that the property
of the state is not assessed at its full
value, but the taxing powers of the
various leyying boards have been
fixed on a basis of present valuations.
and until the legislature shall by law,
reduce the maximum rates that may
be levied, any action by the county
assessors and boards OF equalization
raising the states property TO its real
value, would result in very material

paid by the people. And. further. the
state constitution provides that when
ever the assessed valuation of the
state shall reached two hundred mil

state and state school purposes must
drop from eight mills 10 Ave mills
and when the valuation shall be three

not exceed four mills, but no such

KRuTTscHNiTT'S POWER WILL

A New York dispatch outlines the

That Kruttschnitts power Is TO be

good thing for this city. Heretofore
the head OF the department OF main

enforced against any other subor
