WHAT WOULD HELP.

After having made a weak attempt
at a boost editorial article, i'll which it
called partial attention to the richness
and variety of Utah s resources, the
Deseret News goes on to complain in
this language.
Yet with all this progress is slow. Utah
needs but little and would yield much.
We need but Wicld the hammer, use the
drill and riches flow. little water here
and there would almost make jungle.
A factory here and there would build
many fortune. a kind word occasion
ally would make this state pinnacle to
shine among It's sisters
There are several things that would
help great deal in removing the OBJ
stacles that now hamper progress in
Utah. Joseph r. Smith, for instance,
might stop advising the Mormon peo.
pie against selling property to Gentiles
on the ground that they are enemies
Of the kingdom of God.'' 1t would be
helpful. too if the church leaders would
quit threatening TO crush any industry,
or any man proposing to establish such
industry, that might enter into competi-
ton with similar Industries controlled
by them. 1t would relieve the situation
great deal if these same hierarchs
would not insist upon monopolizing
everything here in the way of com
merce, manufactures and finance And
speaking of the benefits to follow the
use of tho hammer and the drill let it
not be forgotten that men who in the
earlier days of Utah attempted TO pro.
mote and carry out mining work here
were excommunicated from the church,
ostracized and held up to execration. 1t
should be remembered, too, that the
Mormon leaders did everything in their
power to destroy the smelling industry
here within the past six years by en-
couraging and melting vexatious law
suits against them And when il comes
to speaking the kind word, tho lesson
or admouition should be carried home

POPULATION OF TIE CITY.

The population of Salt Lake City
is given al 92,777, d gain since the
last census figures Of 39.246, or 1873
per cent.
The population of Salt Lake City in
1900 was 53,j3l. which was gain
of S6SS over the 44,si3 figures Of the
city IS population iu 1890
From 1890 to 1900 the city was
chiefly under control Of the church
politicians. 1t was a period of gen
eral growth throughout the West, but
of small growth in Salt Lake City and
in Utah, because of the deadening
church control, That church control
continued up to and including the year
1905. In that year of 1905 this city
was actually losing population. There
had been paraly1ing control which
hindered progress and which killed
the city's growth. There had been
the two-year period of tho "solid
eight, " which absolutely prevented any
expansion or any idea Of public i'm"
provcment of any sort. That "solid
eight combination was church af-
fair exclusively. The Republicans had
elected eleven members of the coun-
ell and their general city ticket. Al
most immediatel~. however, four of the
so-called Republicans, these four be
Democrats in the council, these also
being Mormons, and made the Infamous
"solid eight +" combine, which not only
fought the Republican administration.
but fought the city as well. That be-
gan the rcactionary movement. This
reactionary movement was continued In
the church Democratic administration
which came into power in 1908 and
which left the city at its lowest ebb
in vitality. Vacant houses by the
scores were seen in all parts of the
city. Property was at low values, peo-
pie were leaving by the hundreds, and
no new population was coming in We
have frequently said, and VIC believe
it TO be the fact, that from the year
1900 to 1905 there was absolutely no
growth in the city. For the preced-
ing ten years the growth had been
smaller than that of any city in the
United States Of any pretensions at all.
But the city began to grow imme~
diately after the election of 1905,
when the priesthood grip was torn Of.
Progress became the rule in place Of
lethargy. Population and wealth
flowed i'll in mighty streams. The
ratio of growth is counted for the de-
cennial period at 1873 per cent. If
it were counted according to the fact,
in the growth Of 39.346, which the fig
urcs show for this census as compared
with the previous one, and this growth
counted in the FIVE years to which it
properly belongs, the ratio of growth
would be 1866 per cent and not 1873
per cent And this would accord with
the facts and would rebound Just that
much more to the credit of the Amcri-
can party.
The figures given in the census arc
splendid for the city. They show a
growth. all things considered not
cqualed by that of any other city in
the United States.

We notice that the Smoot paper yes
tcrday morning claimed that the off
cial figures confirm its announcement
of last Spring, and it proceeds to show
why there is some discrepancy be-
tween the figures it gave and those
now given as official. Its claim is, it
appears, that one thousand residents
of Fort Douglas were left out of it's
computation, the eomputer here being
uncertain whether Fort Douglas would
be counted with the city or not In
asmuch, however. as Fort Douglas is
no part of the city there would seem
to be no prcpriety in including the
enumeration of that post in the city e
population, and probably this was not
done by the census Office.
There is an apparent claim. however
by the Smoot paper that its figures
last Spring were from Census Super
visor II. A. McMillin, as it says that
he ''was in doubt as to whether the Fort
Douglas residents should be included
in the Salt Lake City census Mr.
McMillIn positively and cmphatically

FairchiId Of Kansas

In less than fifty years Oh
state life Kansas has had sixteen
state superintendent, an aver.
age of four years, and no official
has had more than four years.
It has rarely been possible to
get noble educational leader tic
leave a position, such as a man
should have held to be worthy of
state leadership, to accept a
transient Office. In Mr.. Fair
child the state has an educator
every way worthy and well quail
flied, whose lines of scholastic
and professional campaigning
have brought him into national
prominence. Mr.. Fairchild has
not been content to keep the ma
chine a-running, but he has
treated the problems as though
he expected to remain with them
after they were solved, as do the
state superintendent in most of
the states that are educationally
noble.
No man in the country is
making or has made a better at

to the science of dealing simply
with facts and figures that are
vital. If he can have two years
years more he will set the world
an example that is well worth
while. He has gotten the state
aid to high schools on basis
that puts Kansas in a class with
the best states in the Union.
The professional training of
teachers has been set forward
farther in his term than in the
twenty years previous. These
are merely indications of what
Mr.. Fairchild has seen accom-
plished in the last four years.
And all this has been accom-
plished without friction in the
profession. in the legislature, in
the party or in the press of the
state. Fairchild of Kansas is a
man of whom the country as well
as the state may well be proud. )"

Why is it that wild west shows
are such spell binders, and why
is it that good dramatic plays
very often lack patronage, when
a wild west company will pack
their tents to suffication? The
answer is a simple one Now
take for instance, the Wiedemann

presenting that grand dramatic
spectacle, Custer Last Charge
illustrated as it is with real
Indian COW boys and COW girls,
offer so much in variety in enter
tainment and so much diversity
of interest that one is not only
entertained, but enthralled for

ESTABLISHED MARCH 2. 1879.

The assessed valuation of the
city of Wa-Keeneysin the year
1908 was, in round, $615, 900. In
1909 the valuation was $648, 900
an increase of $50, 900, or a little
more than five per cent. This
year the valuation is 1911 900, an
increase of 1928, 900, or more
than twenty-five per cent. No
doubt the greater part of this
rapid increase is justly attribu-
table to the fact that the city
now has efficient and reliable
water and light systems, bring
into the city outside money to
build upon and improve city lots
which formerly had no substan-
tial value and which would vet
be comparatively valueless with
out city water. Wa-Keeney is a
better place to live and a better
place to own property, all be-
cause of it's fortunate investment
of forty thousand dollars. In one
short year the increase In actual
valuation of property is more
than five times it's bonded in
debtedness and the value of the
incidental advantages is beyond
computation.

A Real Reform

Of all the taxes paid by the
people of Kansas nearly a half is
raised for educational purpose.
At the head of the public
school system is the state super
intendent. 1t would seem I'M
necessary to argue that such a
position right the very great
est position IN the state-oueht
to be as little as possible in poll
tics. just as chief justice holds
his office, term after term, with
a tenure practically during good
behavior. so the state superin-
tendent ought to hold his office.
Hitherto the place has been a
sort of consolation prize in the
political game When a CON
vention had given out all other
offices the superintendency was
thrown to whatever locality
seemed most in need of salve. A
people cannot be called intelli-
gent who permit that sort of
thing.

strong, wise energetic, level

With a salary of six thousand
dollars probably a greater man
could be secured, but as things
are he is the best man in sight.
Hitherto just as man began to
appreciate his opportunities his
term of Office has expired. Now
is the time to change the old
system.
