BEAUTIFYING THE CITY.

The ld-Repubiican notes with
pleasure the kind words Of Arnold w.
Drummer, a noted New York architect,
regarding the natural beauty of Salt
Lake and the surrounding country.
Having had much experience in beau
tifying some of the eastern cities, Mr..
Drummer is we'll qualified to express an
opinion. There is considerable gratifi-
cation also in the thought that the citi-
zens of Salt Lake and the corporations
are engaged in the work OF making the
capital of Utah city beautiful"
a trip to the union station of the
convince the most skeptical that the
managers of these railway companies
have an eye for the beautiful and that
they are doing their part in improving
their grounds. The station itself is a
handsome structure, modern, up-to-
date and convenient. To the south of
the building, extending the entire dis
lance to First South street, the land
fronting on Third West street not
needed for railroad tracks has been
parked and seeded down.
In a short time the incoming stranger
on elighting from a Short Line or Salt
Lake train will find himself in a verit-
able beauty spot. The new station of
the Rio Grande and Western Pacific,
only two or three blocks away, is now
approaching completion: and here, too,
preparations are being made to park
the vacant ground and beautify the
landscape.
All over the city may be seen inn
pToYements of like nature. AS Mr..
Drummer truthfully remarked, the work
cannot be accomplished in a single
year. or two. or three years. It will re-
quire both time and money.
But in the end the expenditure OF
both will be more than justified. Mr..
Drummer suggests that the time to start
is now. We have started, though ii
may be that a little more ginger is
needed. Let the good work go on with
increased vigor.

MORE LIBERAL POLICY.

Uncle Sam is about to loosen up"
The immigration OF so many farmers
to Canada-S7, 900 in eleven months-is
said to have made q deep impression
upon President Taft and the members
of his cabinet. AS a result, immense
tracts of land in the national forest
reserves which do not bear timber
growths Will be restored to entry,
proclamations covering 100000 acres
being promised in the near future. The
right to enter these rich acres will be
as free as the land laws will permit.
AS further proof that the government
is in earnest in this matter, Secretary
Wilson is said to have given orders to
forest rangers that in future they shall
befriend in every way possible the
man who is searching for home, and
If there are suitable homes in the low
lands, which are now reserved from
entry on account of the presence of a
small amount of salable timber, the
government will dispose of that tim
Der and give up the land, providing
agricultural improvement is assured.
The tour of Chief Forester Graves
throughout the west is declared to be
for the purpose of making a complete
investigation of the situation and noti-
flying his subordinates of the purpose
and plan of the government.
The news of the intention of the ad-
ministration to open up all available
land to settlement will be hailed with
great satisfaction in the west II has
been felt that sufficient care had not
been exercised in the withdrawal of
lands from entry. and that unnecessary
hardship had been imposed upon the
people Of the states in which they were
situated, as well as upon the home
seekers.
Four million acres of land will ac-
commodate a considerable number of
settlers, increase the taxable property
in the western states and add to the
available food supply. Another proof
of the wisdom and ability Of the Taft
administration.

DOGS TABooED IN CHINA.

Among the curious bits of informa-
ton given publicity in the consular re-
ports is an item warning the manu-
factuTers in making up their adver-
tisements for the Chinese trade not to
use pictures of dogs in their posters.
Dogs insChina are not cherished family
pets, and are tolerated only as street
scavengers. So an advertisement with
a dog as the central figure would be
speedily discarded by the average
Chinaman. The Chinese have a fond
ness for pictures which is said to
amount almost to generation, foreign
art exciting their attention because Of
its difference TO what they are accus-
toned to. They have an especial liking
for calendars and never throw an Illus
trated one away.
The American consuls in the Orient
are not letting any of the little details
escape their attention while looking for
a chance to boost for the products of
their home country. Little things
sometimes count more in the long run
than those supposed to be important.

The Law and the Lady.

Former Judge Beasley, one of the coun-
sci OF the Public Service Railway COM
pany, in summing up a case before the
jury the other day, told the following
story TO show the unreasonableness Of a
woman;
Pat Finnigan had been summoned to
jury duty. Coming down stairs one morn
ing dressed in his Sunday clothes his
wife looked at him and said:
Where are you going, PatT
He replied: I'm going to coort-'
'H'hp said the wife, and Pat stalked
out Next morning Pat came down stairs
all shaven and shorn, with the same suit
Of clothes on.
I" And where are you going today? said
the wife.
Sure, I'm going to coort'
Re are, are ye?
Pat went out and slammed the door.
The third morning Pat came In and sat
down to breakfast table with the same
suit OF clothes on, and greeted his wife,
who said:
And where are We going this morn
ing, Pat?
'Tm going to coort-'
THE wife laid her hands upon rolling
pin, stood before the door and said:
'Ye're going to coort, are yer
'Yis,' said Pat.
No ye're not. II there's any coorting
to be done It will be done right here. Go
up stairs and take off thin clothes -

FREAKISH WEATHER.

While Salt Lake is enjoying the
Customary balmy days of April, the
southern states have been hit by a
blizzard. From the middle and central
western states also comes news of un-
precedented snowfalls and freezing
temperature, doing an immense amount
Of damage to crops of all kinds.
While these unusual conditions pre-
vail in the United States, far to the
north, at ST. Johns, Newfoundland. the
thermometers are registering as high
as S. degrees in the shade, an occur
renee hitherto unknown in the history
&C the colony at this season of the year.
The brands of weather intended for
the United States, east of the Rocky
mountains. and Newfoundland appear
TO have become changed in transit and
the southerners, not being used to bliz-
yards, are getting the worst of it.
Thanks are due to Providence that
the spring package intended for Utah
came through right side up with care.

real and only reason why a fight is
being. made upon Mr.. Tawney. He
recently visited his home district and
returned 20 Washington convinced that
in the performance of his duty as
chairman Of the appropriations COM
mittee he had given offense to certain
great interests engaged in the unhoiy
work Of attempting to loot the
treasury.
These men have a pecuniary reason
for desiring the defeat of the public
servant who stood between them and
the spoils they sought.
In an interview regarding the situa-
ton at home Mr.. Tawney said:
THE interests are at work trying to
beat me. They are trying TO whip me
out OF the minds of the people who
know me.
at is the interests that come to the
committee on appropriations for favOrs,
who threaten and intimidate in their
efforts to win. And when they lose
they backbite the man who stood for
the people.
''The chsirmanship of the appropria-
tions committee, as have said, is the
one best place on earth in which TO
make enemies 1t would be easy
enough TO take the appropriation bills
and curry favor with the interests and
win support and political preferment.
But when you remember the people,
when you have q sense OF duty ana a
national deficit staring you in the
face, the man who guides the destiny
OF appropriation bills will be scourged
and blistered by the disappointed in
terests, ] know.
But when 1 entered public life 1
made it a rule never to support meas
ure until I was sure 1 was convinced
IL was right and for the best interests
OF the people. Having once taken up
fight I never retreat"
There we have the true cause OF the
desperate attempt to retire James A.
Tawney, a lifelong Republican of
much more than ordinary ability. The
Democrats will not put up a candidate
against Davis in the Third Minnesota
district, nor against Lindbergh in the
Sixth, but they will join forces with
the insurgents, the interests and the
devil himself in order to down Tawney.
The situation is pretty much the
same in the other states afflicted with
insurgent congressman. Anything to
beat the tried and true members of the
party is the watchword at the outset
of the campaign. The combine ton can
not succeed If none but Republicans
are put on guard.

uNHoLY COMBINATIONS.

1t has been apparent for some
months that the Democrats and insur-
gents were working hand-in-glove.
The repeated attacks upon Speaker
Cannon amply proved that fact. Fur
ther proof of this offensive and de-
fensive alliance may be found in the
central western states, where the
Democrats will not put candidates in
the field against insurgent Republican
candidates for the Lower House.
Representative Tawney, chairman of
the committee on appropriations. repre-
sents the First Minnesota district. Mr..
Tawney is by far the ablest member
of the Gopher state delegation. Being
a Republican. he has stood by his
party through thick and thin, never
giving aid or encouragement to the
enemy.
Mr.. Tawney is regular. On account
of his regularity his reelection Is OPP

combination. Tawney is to be retired
ostensibly because he voted for the
tariff bill, in face of the fact that Presi-
dent Taft visited the First district Of
Minnesota last fall and specifically en-
dorsed the Payne-Aldrich law and
commended Mr. Tawney for upholding
his party.
His vote on the tariff bill is not the

will continue to blaze the pathway of
self-rule in Europe.
One of the candidates who asked the
people for their votes in Paris was
Mime. Marguerite Durand, an uneom-
monty pretty woman who desired a
seat in the Chamber of Deputies. She
appeared upon the hastings and pre-
scented her claims in a manner worthy
Of the most strenuous suffragette in
England or America. In the closing
days of the campaign Nine. Durand
appeared at a joint meeting with one
of her male opponents. After present.
ing her claims she introduced the gen.
tleman in question, Charles Marest, as
follows: Here is an imbecile whom
the laws allow to vote and to be a
candidate. By his side, there stands
a woman in the full force of her in
telligence, and yet she is denied the
same privilege by the same law"
That was taking an unfair advan-
tage of NJ. Marest Being a gallant
French gentleman, he could not reply
in kind. So the laugh was on him, and
he cut sorry figure In advocating his
election to the chamber. There were
other candidates for this particular
place IN the French parliament, and
the dispatches do not name the winner.
1t is certain. however, that in case
Nine. Durand. received a majority of
the votes the chamber will refuse to
seat her. French gallantry doesn't go
quite that far

GOVERNOR HUGHES ACCEPTS.

The pleasing announcement is MADE
that Governor Charles E. Hughes OF
New York has accepted the appoint
nent rendered by President Taft to
succeed the late Justice David j.
Brewer on the supreme bench of the
United States.
Governor Hughes VIII not qualify for
the place until October, as the Supreme
court will take a recess this week and
not convene again until the fall month.
In the meantime, the governor will
continue to perform his duties as ex-
ecutive of the Empire state.
Governor Hughes first came promi-
nently before the people of the eoun-
try when he turned the life insurance
companies inside out and exposed the
system of graft employed by the Of
ficials in charge. Before that time he
was known as an exceptionally able
lawyer by the business and profess
sional men of New York.
By reason of his thorough work in
the insurance case the people turned
towards Mr.. Hughes and elected him
governor. He instituted many reforms
snd kept up his unrelenting warfare
on all kinds of graft, making many
powerful enemies Oh account of his
efforts to Danish the gamblers from
the race tracks. Indeed, he offended
many men of the machine class in his
own party because ne would not COM
promise a wrong.
All efforts to prevent his reelection
were in vain, the people again raIIying
TO his support. During his second term
he has never faltered or become faint
hearted in the performance of his duty
with the result that New York is be-
ling cleansed as never before.
Now comes his elevation to the high
rest court in the land. the dream of
every lawyer in the country. 1t was
the life ambition of President Taft to
occupy a place on this bench. Fate
willed otherwise
+ Governor Hughes is in the prime of
I life. A man OF unimpeachable integ-
.rity and abstemious habits. While
others have sought the glamor of pub
lie applause, he has modestly remained
as far as possible from the limelight
As in the case Of President Taft, fate
dragged him forth from his quiet study
and brought him before the citizens
OF New York and the people of the
United States. His qualifications be-
came generally known. and there was
no chance for retreat.
ON the supreme bench Governor
Hughes will prove a tower of strength.
His painstaking methods and great
knowledge of the law combine to make
him invaluable. More than this. his
experience with the great corporations
render him peculiarly fit to sit in the
important cases coming up in the near
future. Both the President and the
people Of the country are to be con-
graduated upon the happy selection Of
Governor Hughes 10 succeed Justice
Brewer

FRENCH ELECTIONS.

The Republicans were successful in
the general elections in France. con-
sequently there VIII be no change in
the policy of the government.
Royalty is not cutting much of a
figure in the affairs of the republic
over the ocean nowadays. and there are
no indications that any considerable
number OF people desire to try another
empire. There are many parties in
France. some of them radical enough
to start another revolution. Happily
these extreme radicals are mostly
froth and foam.
The great body Of French people,
especially those residing in the rural
districts, are firmly welded to re-
publican principles. So long as they
remain true and steadfast the country

THE CHICAGO PLAN.

Chicago is no longer content TO be
known to fame only as the chief pack
ing house town of the world. Not only
is it intended to beautify the city, but
to inaugurate a strenuous publicity
campaign.
AS in Salt Lake, the Commercial club
has taken hold of the matter, and
some 1000 raised to begin work
Chicago has a plan for Transforming
the city into one of the most beauti-
full places in the world if the adver-
tisements are to be believed. The
Commercial club proposes to present
stereopticon lectures before clubs and
civic organizations on the Chicago plan
of identifying the city.
Chicago plan books, showing the
changes which have been endorsed by
the commission and the Commercial
club, are to be placed in every public
school in the country. Other methods
will also be employed in bringing the
subject nearest the Chicago heart at
the present time before the people of
other communities.
No surer sign OF the prosperity of
a city could be given than the desire
Of its citizens to make it attractive,
and their willingness to spend money
for that purpose and additional sums
In a campaign of publicity.
1t speaks well for the wealth and
high order of intelligence Of the people.
