Tell the People the Truth

The people have been made to believe that the tariff
revised upward Talk to them, and you will find that
the camor of sensational journals, the yellow magazines
and the speakers hostile to the of the Republican
party have made the people believe that the pledge OF
the party platform has been broken.
That is not the truth The tariff has been revised
downward The tariff has not been revised upward The
pledges have been broken The party has kept faith
with the people.

10 Cannon TO the Republican editors of Illinois,

It is in effect just what President Taft told the people
in his recent speech the convention of business in
the east.
Here is the frank and direct statement of the Presi
dent of the United States and of the Speaker of the Ma
tional House of Representatives. Do you think they
would lie you? They have pinned their faith the
American people, Do you think the American people have
no faith in them9 Tell the people the truth The tariff
has been revised downward and there is warrant for
the insurgen movement which seeks to discredit the
present leadership for better than put other
men in their places.
We are asking for fealty to Republican leadership only
where we believe that leadership right where it stands
for the rights and the interests of the people, We know
that the people have been told in many magazines and in
some newspapers that the Republican party has betrayed
its trust Let the people learn the truth They have
never vet deserted the banner of the leaders when they
have known the truth.

GOING AROUND THE BOARD
WALL.

One can scarcely go a block IN Salt
Lake now, especially in the business
district, without being DETECTED from the
straight and generous path by a board
wall which incloses some new building
operation. And every friend of the city,
knowing the extra walk means another
new building, takes the trouble joyfully.
In a finished town, a town where
nothing happens, a town which has
reached its growth and is going back,
there are no distractions in the side
walk. In a town which has quit prog
ress there are no walls of board on the
sidewalk. But where the town is going
forward, where the buildings of less
imperative age are being removed for
the erection of newer and bigger and
handsomer structures, the citizen will
have to get off the walk now and then.
And be glad of it.
There is a little inconvenience. But
the citizen of the town feels repaid in
the consciousness that the improve
ment involved makes every foot of
property in the city worth more than it
would be If there were no new build
ing.

TWO NEW BUILDINGS.

Salt Lake is richer for the addition
of the two new buildings named the
Felt and the Mcintyre. The former is
that of the Salisbury company, and is
located Immediately adjoining the Bos-
ton building. It's material is a most
beautiful enamelled terra Gotta. The
interior arrangement of the building is
admirably adapted to use and con-
venience. It's broad frontage enriches
the whole street.
The Mcintyre building, Just north of
the Mccormick bank, presents another
picture that is appreciated in the in
ereasingly beautiful Salt Lake. In ma
terial, in construction. in room provid-
ed, 1t adds much to the city.
They are two of many new and hand
some buildings which testify to the con-
fidence of business men in the future
of the city. They are the best possible
Endorsements any one can ask for the
stability of investments here. They are
long steps in advancement-in the gen.
eral adoption of modern equipment for
this most modern and most desirable
OF cities.
Buildings of that sort are factors of
fortune for every citizen-and are well
coined by every citizen Of the metropolis
of the mountain country.

WAS THERE CAUSE FOR THE
STRIKE?

Just now it seems there Is little like
lihood of the Philadelphia carmen's
strike to be prolonged, or to cause great
trouble. 1t should be settled-for the
good of the men, the company. and the
general public.
the company managers to inquire if
there is anything they can do for bet
tering the conditions Of their employees.
This is not the first strike of those men
against that company. Maybe there is
a reason for the unrest. If SO, ii would
be better to mend that much of the
way.
1t will hardly do to take the cost of
this strike from the pay Of the men.
The course which leads to paying the
men more than they ever before re-
ceived would be better financial poll
cy. For while strikes amount to abb
solute termination of income for the
employees. it amounts to irreparable
damage to the company. So far as their
treatment of their men can prevent a
recurrence Of the strike, It should be
prevented.
Also, the company ewes that 10 the
public which is served by the lines;
the public which pays its money for
rides. And the company even more
owes a prudent and successful manage
ment to the state and the nation. When

for knowing the truth. And If the men
who admit they are influential cannot
tell the whole truth in the matter, they
should come as near il as they can.
They should at least not repeat the false
accusations against makers of the tariff
and against the Republican party.
That party is helpful to all the people
of the nation. We of Utah are especially
beneficiaries of Republican legislation.
With defeat of the party on tariff is
sues, neither mining nor wool would be
profitable in this state. Cold gloom and
absolute desolation would fall on both
of those industries if the tariff rates on
products of the fiocks and the mines
had been taken away.

you over.
Tell the truth.

the fight against the company became
a fight against law and order, the state
gave that assistance which resulted in
a restoration of order.
And the obligation TO prevent another
disagreement is the stronger because
the men of the company did not them
selves contribute to the assaults on new
employees, or to the destruction of COM
pany or other property. They deserve
consideration in justice and of right.

WHAT EDNA MAY SANG.

Most people with the habit of voting
are old enough to have seen Edna May
In 'aThe Belle of New York" 1t will be
remembered by them that Edna ap-
psared there as a Salvation Army lass,
and sang a song in which she abjured
the people, if they could not be as good
as she was, to be as nearly like her as
they could.
We commend the thought of that song
to gentlemen, here and elsewhere. who
reem to feel driven to embarrass the
Republican party. They pretend to be
ideal Republicans. The ideal Repub-
lican is. among other things. a truthful
person. And If these malcontents can
not be like the ideal, they should be as
nearly like it as they can.
For example, they should tell the
truth. If they cannot do that wholly,
they should come as near it as they
can. They should not declare that the
Republican party has failed to keep its
platform pledges. They should frankly
admit that the party has kept its
pledges. They should first inform them
selves and then tell the truth-which
Is that the tariff has been revised down.
ward. That is the simple truth. To say
that the tariff is revised upward is not
true, and no one living can prove that
tbs statement is true.
Based on the fiction that the party
has devised tariff more burdensome to
the people than that which preceded it,
enemies of the Republican party have
labored long and diligently to enlist
opposition to that great organization
II they had truth for their weapon, they
would have right on their side. and all
the rest of the party would be under
honorable obligation to follow them.
But they have not truth when they
say that the tariff was not revised
downward. President Taft has made
that clear. On the necessaries of life
the rates have been lowered. On the
iuxuries they have been increased. And
because CT the revision. importations
have been so encouraged that the rev.
enues of government have been nightly
increased.
As measure affecting the fortunes
of the citizens, the new tariff both keeps
party pledges and affords reason for
lower prices to the consumer. AS a
measure affecting national incomes, tho
new tariff wipes out the deficit. and pro-
yides revenues for the treasury.
These are things which men of in
fiuence should tell to the people. They
are true, and the people viii be better

lNTERURRANS AND OTHER
THINGS.


Without much doubt the people will
agree with the county commissioners
and with the council of the city in de-
clining to grant a blanket franchise to
Mr.. Jesse knight and his company as
sociates.
Every one wants the interurban road.
Every one is willing that the county
should generously assist in that enter
prise, and that the city should go some
what out of the ordinary way to make
approach and entrance easy. But we
hardly think the people want either
commissioners or councilmen to make
the grant until the company knows
what route is desired. To give it ex-
elusive rights over every road and
every street until such time as the COM
pany might determine the route desired
would be unfair to the community. 1t
would absolutely prohibit any other
company from building, or even asking
the right to build.
Some time the company would have
to know where it wanted its line to
run. Even If it had a. blanket fran
chise, it would have to make selection
of route. And the selection would be as
costly and as difficult then as before
the grant.
Let US hope that Mr.. knight may re-
consider his decision to abandon the
trolley road project. Salt Lake county
and Salt Lake city stand ready to give
him every encouragement consistent
with good conduct of public affairs. He
can scarcely ask more than that. And
the people will be content with nothing
less

xsnizens of the crowded industrial CEN
ters should leave the cities and make
their way TO land that is available. Sup
pose that number should do what pio-
neers in every state Of the Union did
years ago. Suppose, located on land,
they should come to love it; come to
learn its possibilities. and their own in

And that is the possible thing. No

They would be better citizens because

A Prayer.

Keep clean, dear Lord, the little hands
That nestle close to mine;
May they obey all Thy commands
And their works be Thine;
May they be clasped to Thee in prayer
Each evening as Thou watchest there
Keep sweet, dear Lord, the lips thai
speak
In accents soft and low,
Thy name each evening, as they seek
Thy holy will to know.
And may they whisper words OF love
And reverence to Thee above.
Keep pure, dear Lord, the little heart
That beats for Thee alone,
And may my daily life impart
Reflections OF Thine own;
Dwell there forever, Lord, / pray,
And guide my thoughts and words each
day.
And lead, dear Lord, the little feet
That walk thy paths each hour,
Nor may they stray from byways sweet
But guide them by Thy power.
And onward. upward by Thy love
Lead them at last to heaven above.
