THE DIsoReANlzED DEPARTMENTS.

8 In city government organized and conducted for
tae benefit of the people the fire department will be
IN perfect condition. In organized and conducted
Tor the benefit of the political BOSSES the fire depart
nlent will be in state of rank Reorganization.
H The latter is the case with the fire department of
Salt Lake.
Every man on the force has been convinced that he
is there to strengthen the gang rule of the bosses of
the American party-not to fight fires.
No matter how little large his pay may be, he is
compelled to give from ten to thirty dollars month
into the corruption fund OF the gang, that they
may use it in making more secure their hold on
the graft producing machine
The is true of the police department. Men
there know they employed because of their will
ngness to obey the commands Of the rngsters. They
not there for the public good. They work
ing for the public, They selected from the people
OF the city solely because the gang believes they will
work for the gang And any time they don't work
for the gang-they quit working.
Nothing make good police department but
the overthrow Of the party which openly and shame
essy declares in the faces good men and good wo-
men that public Office IS held for the benefit the
machine members. and not for the benefit of the
public.
The only way to get good fire department is to
defeat at the polls the who are responsible for
the rank outsider chair chief and the estab-
shment of the rule that iremen are chosen for the
public service, and not for the benefit of the gang

A SPECIES OF ANARCHY.

The chief objection to the anarchist is that he
makes his selection to the laws that he will
obey. He confesses no obligation to obey the other
laws. If one law nterferes with his purposes or his
DESIRES holds himself above that extent
of ignoring it, disobeyng it, defying it.
That is precisely what Mayor John Bransford did
in the matter of the stockade.
He knew the law forbid the establishment of that
carnival of crime He knew the laws of his city, the
ordinances he was to uphold and enforce for
bid his taking any such action. Yet he assumed the
right to pick of the laws which, for reasons
of his own, he didn't want to obey-and he tried to
nullify it; tried to defy it; tried to make it dead
letter the books.
There have been times when men have risen above
the law for some great and worthy purpose demand
ing instant action. They did that in Chicago at the
time the great fire, when they blew up whole blocks
of four-story buildings to prevent the spread the
fire. Men have broken down doors TO rescue human
life Men have committed assault on rufians in the
defense of helpless innocence But this man picked
out just the law that should have been Obeyed-and
disobeyed it,
And his party rewarded him for his action by max
ing him its candidate for mayor of Salt Lake. WHEN
HIS PARTY GAVE HIM THAT HONOR THEN
HIS PARTY ENDORSED AS RIGHT THE OFF,
CIAL ACTS OF HIS PREVIOUS SERVICE. His
party adopted his record its own. So that the
American party of Salt Lake stands today for the
stockade And if it is successful at the polls the
managers of that party will understand that 1T Is

LAKE THAT THE STOCKADE BE STARTED

HOW ARTHUR J. DAVIS WON.

In spite of all the attacks made the personal
character of Martin Muvey, in that campaign six
years ago. when he pitted against Arthur j.
Davis. Martin would have had it not been for
the disposition Arthur displayed the day of
election.
Martin had him beaten to fragile when the polls
opened, But the wind had been blowing pretty hard
from the north all the previous night, far Mar
tin was concerned, and he wasn't in his best trim as
The great day In fact, Martin had been
good fellow so many bibulOus crowds through the
evening the small hours and the gray dawn of cleo

voting got its height.
Z That all right in the west end of the Fifth
But it couldn't be regarded as a recommendation of
Martin for the council in the eastern end Arthur
was just the shTewd fellow then that he is
So he approached Martin, as close as he could, and
laughngy invited his competitor to get into the Davis
carriage, and make the round of the polling places
Martin never less than good fellow, and while
he felt he had Arthur defeated he not above &C
eeptng the courtesy of an enemy So he got into the
farriage well he could, and rolled back on the
cushions And Arthur Davis had him driven to every
polling place from State street TO the university.
And the good people, some of whom had never seen
under the influence Of liquor i'm their lives, took
bne look at Martin-and voted for Arthur

However, Martin E. NIuIvey is not Of those who

WHERE LAND is IDLE.

Utah does not seem to be the only state in which
land is permitted lie idle Down in the Delaware
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS peninsula there almost two
million acres of good, but idle land The railroad
companies traversing different sections of that
have interested themselves to establish farmers
the ground, and give them chance to make living
there.
1t is the belief of the managers of railroads that
they thus build up population of farmers who
will increase the traffic of the roads. There is where
the companies will get their money back And the
people they help will be making better citizens be-
cause of the independence and free life it gives them
Utah is not the only state where land is permitted
lie idle. But We believe it is the state in which
land is being taken up more rapidly right than
any other In part of the state the people
bUsily taking advantage of the kind
has provided. In both irrigated and dry regions the
land is being purchased or entered under the laws
Homes are being established Villages and towns are
rising rapidly And in every place where the railroad
companies lend a hand, they bearing their
part of the burden.

Ell CAPTAIN AND OTHERS.

In the New York Sun there is an impressive edi-
torial inspired by the report President Tafts in
spection of FL Captain and the rest of the wonders
of the Yosemite.
But one day President of the United States will
go into southern Utah, and natural wonders be-
side which FL Captain is dwarfed into the common
place.
When that day comes rocks of crystal whiteness
and multiplied times greater than El Captain will
become familiar Utah objects to the informed men
and women of the nation In that day the Organ
Rock, which has been capaby painted by Ar.
Harry Culmer, will have convinced the whole people
that southern Utah is marvellous than anything
toward which tourist parties directed. In
that day they will go to the Grand Canyon of the
Colorado from the north side. and see the mighty
river-which they cannot do from the southern side
without going down an almost impossible trail.
Maybe, in his second term, President Taft will be
able to go down through Marysvae and Kanab and
across the wonderland, and even to the rim of the
mighty canyon.
There is no desire here to detract from the marves
in California. But there is a strong objection to
continuing the condition by which Utah's more i'm
pressive exhibits shall be kept from the knowledge Of
the nation.

cisco; half million dollars Seattle and than
million to Portland. No wonder the Hill steamship
lines have been withdrawn from the Pacific trade.
They cannot live in competition with foreign masters
who are considerably aided by government sub
sides.
The Empress line alone trading between Van
couver and the Orient receives six hundred thousand
dollars year from Canada. England gives govern
ment assistance to almost every ship flying the flag
of that nation
The effect of it is there is no American marine.
And there will be until American owners can
be placed a fairly competitive basis with owners
in other lands.
1t is not good Americanism to say that it makes
no difference whether goods carried in American
or foreign vessels. Whatever tends to encourage
American industry and American enterprise is dis
tnct benefit for every citizen of the nation And the
people of the United States will be justly proud of
the record of their countrymen when the shipping
laws shall have been amended in compliance with the
existing demands.

WOULp-RE pEspEMoNAs.

German colonial officers in Africa find that young
frauleins of the fatherand have been corresponding
with natives on the dark continent, with a view OF
becoming their wives. The scandal attained such
proportions that government newspaper, the North
German Gazette, fell called upon to issue formal
warning to parents and teachers The warning has
been conspicuOusly reproduced this week in prac-
tcaly every newspaper in the empire. and the hope
is cherished that it will have the desired effect of
preventing the fatherland's romantic young women
from continuing to make fools of themselves
Letters which have fallen into the hands of the
initiated the correspondence with matrimo-
bition to become the bride of 'black prince"
Countless girls have sent their photographs to
known savages the wastes OF TOgoland and south
west Africa. The North German Gazette states that
the wholesale display of photographs of white girls
il the colonies is of the most deporable features
of the scandal
1t is pointed out that nothing repulsive IS
imaginable than the sight OF pictures of German
women hanging alongside those of black beauties"
of doubtful and abbreviated attire
The recipients of these ELUSIVE attractions are
mostly young natives 10 to 2t years old Their knky
heads inevitably sweled by the receipt of the
letters and photographs from the European women
and they become correspondingly intractible

THE SMALL HOLDINGS ACT.

Last year the English parliament enacted law
providing for small homes for who were willing
to live farms, and cultivate them. 1t believed
that the congestion in cities could be relieved by
sistng worthy families to leave the crowded places
and support themselves in agricultural industry. And
up to the present application has been made for
nearly half million acres.
In many portions of England there is unused land
belonging to private persons; and in addition there
much crown land, never entered for tilage, or any
attempt at productive toll If the trainers of the
law shall not be disappointed, much of this idle land
will be reduced to cultivation within another year.
Thousands Of families will have been taken from the
crowded cities, and the task of aiding them with
charity will have been ended.
1t suggestion that the United States could well
consider. Our big cities are almost as crowded
as are London and Liverpool Within few years,
if some wise solution of the problem is reached
the condition of paupersm here will be as aggravated
as II is there.
America has much land entirely idle Some of it
has never been titled. Much in the east has been
abandoned, but is quite capable of being restored
productivity. That of it would prove double
service. 1t would make better the condition of the
men now crowded into poverty And it would in
crease the producing power Of the nation.

SPEAKING THE GOOD WORD.

a good priest up north is opposed TO funeral SER
mons. He does not like to have his brothers deliver
OratiOns the dead. To the extent of his power
he has prevented it. And to himself he makes this
statement:
II have already made provision" he said that
when l am laid away it shall be in a simple black
box in which there shall be gilded nails Neither
will there be any funeral sermon preached. for in
truth would prefer the prayer of old lady knee-
ing behind d church pillar to the finest eulogy that
might be pronounced by Of my talented friends"
And yet, when you and your friend pass a man on
the street, and your friend says: He's good man.
it is worth while Every time you hear commenda-
ton of your neighbor, you find the world little
brighter, and little better Life fairer not alone
because of the presence Of good and good women
but because some is willing say they are good
And if that be true of the living. how much more
surely is it true of those who have passed away for
ever. So far the deceased is concerned it can
make 10 difference to him. His ears are deaf But
the goodness of him lives on; and it is in recogn-
ton of that living part that the eulogums are said

does seem that about the only thing in Christian
