A BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION.

Senator AldTich thinks he could save
three hundred million dollars a year if
he had the entire control Of govern
ment receipts and expenditures. Pos
sibly. But would the people Of the
United States exchange a republic 70,
an absolute monarchy for three hun
dred million a year?
And that is what it would be. 1t is
altogether probable that much money
could be saved if only business and ad-
ministrative geniuses We're selected,
and that these held office for life. But
the people prefer a government in
which each individual has some share.
some voice. and some chance for con-
troll.
Possibly even with the system now
employed, a better showing could be
made. But there is a pathetic example
Of failure in the matter of the postal
deficit. When the matter Of increasing
rates on second-class matter came up
for discussion, some Of the bright young
men who make magazines showed very
quickly that they knew more about the
mail business than did the authorities
Of the postoffice department. They had
to. They were servants of an absolute
monarch. The owners required them to
know. If they lost money unnecessari-
| ", they lost their jobs, too. If they
! failed to make the best trade, they quit
working. Only success counted. They
got their place because of especial fit
ness for it, and held it as long as they
were best. AS soon as some one else
comes along who can do it better, there
is change-and not till then.
But while they stay they get big pay.
And that part. at least, is a pretty
good example for the government to
| follow

AN UNFORTUNATE STRIKE.

Philadelphia caught up with the pro-
cession. They have a strike that is as
bitter in its spirit and as destructive to
life and limb as those that Chicago has
enjoyed" in the past. Which may fix
the status of Philadelphia as an up-to-
date town.
It would be fortunate If it could be
said of the strikers that they learn their
lesson even so quickly. But here is a
strike which, up to Wednesday night,
had cost the lives Of three men; which
had wounded at least a thousand; which
has sent the filling OF all the hospitals;
which has destroyed a lot of property
and which doesn't promise 10 gain
higher wages or shorter hours or bet
ter working conditions for the men.
AS a rule. strikes do not prove a sue
cess. When defiance OF law, the de-
struction of order, the ruin of property
and the bodily wounding of men and
women, are added, the chances for sue
cess in the strike seem TO be dimln-
ished.
For, when matters come to the pass
found there in Philadelphia, the city,
the state and the nation are challenged.
order simply has TO be restored. The
question of rights and wrongs Of the

WHAT DID SAINT PAUL sAY9

Why, Saint Paul said: Prove all
things" He was a wise man, and knew
when his hearers did that, they
would hold fast that which was good"
That principle has not been improved
upon. 1t would be a good rule for adop-
ton by men who are complaining about
the new tariff law-the men who say
the tariff was revised upward; the men
who say the pledge of the Republican
national convention was not kept; the
men who declare the confidence of the
people was betrayed.
Because, when they prove all things"
in this matter, they will find that in
the new tariff there were six hundred
and fifty-four decreases, and two hun
dred and twenty increases. They viii
find that eleven hundred and fifty items
in the dutiable list were left unchanged.
Also, they viii find that the duties
were decreased on those articles which
had q cOnsumptive value Of nearly five
billion dollars, and increased on those
articles which had a cOnsunptive value
Of a billion dollars.
Men who prove all things viii find
that Of the increase the consumptive
values affected were those Of luxuries-
silks, wines, liquors, pomades, perfu-
meries, and the like articles; while the
decreases were on articles Of use and
necessity. And no fair man can go on
telling people the majority party in
Congress has broken its pledges and
disobeyed the word Of popular COM
mand, after he has ascertained the truth
in the matter.
The average duty paid on all imports
under the new law is twenty-one and
nine-tenths per cent. The average duty
for a corresponding period under the
Dingley law was twenty-four and three
tenths per cent.
And there has been an enlargement of
the free list.
Under the Wilson tariff the average
annual customs receipts per capita of
the total population were two dollars
and thirty-eight cents. Under the Ding
ley tariff they were three-twenty-three;
and under the Payne law they are
three-seventy-one. So that not only
does this new tariff law rest more light
~ on the consumer than did either of
its immediate predecessors; not only is
the free list larger, but the revenue de-
rived from the new tariff is larger. The
people get back into their own use
greater proportion OF the money de-
rived from this new tariff law than
from any former one.
Plenty Of gentlemen are perfectly sin
cere in echoing the cry that the tariff
has been revised upward; that the peo-
pie have been deceived and robbed, and
that the pledges Of the Republican par
ty have been dishonored. But he who
proves all things and holds fast that
which is good" will find no ground nor
reason for repeating the statement.
It is not true.

more profit in farming. and more
health. and happiness and freedom, and
more good American citizenship, than
in following wage earning in a mill-and
they Will solve the problem Of high
prices. They VIII restore that balance
Of units which the late chief of forests
so accurately presents.
No one wants to deplete the army
needed for industrial activity. But cap
tains of industry, on the other hand, do
not want to deplete the ranks of Ameri-
can citizenship. They don't want any
more men than they need. Sending back
to the farms the men who are not need
ed at the mills will not stop the mills.
But if they are not sent back the mills
and everything else will have to stop.
For that way lies the hotbed of an
archy, and character exhaustion, and
manhood depleting-the development Of
a giant which neither mills nor mag
mates can control.

THE PRESIDENT KNOWS THE
PEOPLE,

Our. American spirit Of independence
is probably responsible for the Ameri-
can love of that sort Of criticism which
is directed against men in high official
station A good many men ike to read
a fearless" attack on Presidents, ana
governors, and congressmen-and all
others in authority, as the prayer books
have #. So that there has been rather
a large vogue here lately Of the fearless
and free criticism Of men in high sta
ton. The newspapers Of a certain class
have been pretty full of it. And it must
please, or the editors would not have
printed it.
President Taft is not unconscious OF
this flood of criticism-more or less po-
lite; and in his New Jersey speech the
other night he mentioned it. He has
been trying TO do his duty, and prob
ably has not really failed. But he is
human, and can not be Indifferent to
the criticism of the press. And so he
was pleased when the business and pro-
fessionaI men of New Jersey greeted
him with cheers; when the people along
the line from depot to hotel waved and
shouted their welcome. And in his ad-
dress that evening he frankly said it
ETatified him. He began TO think that
maybe the newspapers didn't carry
public opinion I'm their pockets"
With the freedom Of the press en-
ioyed by Americans, and with the
thoughtless applause for attacks on Of
ficials simply because they are officials,
there can be no interference; no cor
rection. The better condition will come
with editors who attack only when there
Is warrant for It. and people who will
condemn unjust criticism. When that
good day arrives, newspapers viii carry
public opinion in their pockets much
more than they do now.
And in that day the guilty will fear
It; whereas, now, the guilty knows he
will escape in the general and unmeant
epidemic of vituperation.

WHERE Mr.. PINcHoT is WISE.

No mans judgment is better than
that of the former chief forester, when
it comes to declaring the causes of the
present high cost of living. Here is the
statement Of Mr.. Pinchot:
The increase in the price Of meats and
vegetables and all other food is the
logical result Of the migration Of hosts
OF people from farms, where they pro-
duce three units and consume one, into
cities. where they produce one unit and
and consume two. What the causes be-
hind the migration are should be care
fully considered by the government.
We are not quite sure what Mr.. Pinchot
means, however, In his later assertion
that "the people should study the stu
alton, make up their minds where the
trouble lies, and, having recognized
their due, take It," In view Of the fact
that he has Just shown, and very clear
", where the trouble is, he leaves one
guessing as to what is meant by the
suggestion that the people take" their
due
Nobody drove the people from tho
farms to the cities. They went there of
their own free win. They believed It
the better investment of their time and
talents. With some It had that effect
With very many more the effect was
disastrous.
Lot Mr.. Pinchot and all other wise
men seek TO turn back the tide Of popu-
lation from the mill centers and the
population eenters, 10 the land, and do
1t with the clear showing that there is

sooD MUSIC IN THE HOME.

The Herald-Repubican is never afraid
II speaking a helpful word, even II it
does profit some one.
A little time ago Harry Lauder. the
Scotch comedian, came close to making
an appearance in salt Lake-but not
quite. Our people wanted TO hear him,
because the testimony OF millions is
that he is good. He didn't come, and
there was disappointment. And now
the music dealers are selling Lauder rec
ords-and any one in Salt Lake can
hear 'T Love a Lassie," or Flu the
Moo" or 'MacgregoTs Toast" simply
by putting on the record and starting
the machine,
For the genius OF music makers has
developed a mechanism called the vic
trola, and the ambeFOla-rival devices,
and both excelIent-with the aid Of
which the greatest singers Of all the
world can be heard. P. T. Barnum once
said that anything which a great many
people liked must have some merit. Be
cause of that, the phonograph Won its
way against the scoffing Of the musical
~ critical And the unpleasant metal
roar of the photograph was improved"
out of the rendition by these two later
and more expensive machines.
They cost two hundred dollars each;
and with them and the records you
like. you may hear CarusO, or Media, or
the sextette from Lucia" or Evan
Williams, or Witherspoon-the very
best that is presented to the patrons of
grand opera, or oratorio, or concert any
where in the world.
And you may have them whenever
you want them. The price of a record
would hardly admit you alone TO the
Metropolitan opera house. But it will
give pleasure 10 you and all the family,
and the guest within your gates, as
often as you care to hear it.
There have been a good many devices
for making life pIeasanter; but there IS
probably nothing which has so enriched
the race as this diffusion of good music
by the help Of the victrola and the am
berola.
Which doesn't cost the dealers a cent
and may bring innocent and refining
entertainment 10 the people.

WHY NOT OF UTAH IRON AND
STEEL,

Only one thing could be more crafty
ing TO the Utah man than this sight of
rising forest OF structural steel in
the Newhouse hotel, and the Utah hotel.
And that would be the knowing that all
that steel is the product of Utah mines.
And why can it not be the Utah iron?
There is plenty of iron ore In the state.
1t is better than the Alabama iron. 1t
is, chemically, almost identical with the
Lake Superior iron. There is coal
enough here in Utah to reduce every
ton Of the ore to useful dimension ma
terial. There is market for all that
could be produced In a hundred years.
And yet we construct our hotels and our
handsome new buildings with the prod
ucts Of other and distant states. We
lose barrels Of money in freights. and
get no benefit from the labor employed
in making that finished product.
Can the legislature Of Utah stimulate
the use Of Utah iron and steel by offer
ing a bounty on all that is produced in
| the state? No question in the world a
mighty mill could be established and
kept busy here, receiving the ore and
! melting and fashioning it. A thousand
men getting good wages could be
employed all the year. The product
could go TO new buildings, to machinery,
to railroad iron, to bridges. All the To-
cal demand could be satisfied without
trouble, and there would be a fortune
in selling structural steel to the buyers
and builders in California.
This state pays a bounty on animals
that destroy fIocks and herds. 1t might
be well to encourage the constructive
policy Of paying bOunties on Utah iron
manufactured and ready for use.

FIRES, AND A MORAL.

II is reported that two fire insurance
companies in which policies are held
fail and refuse 10 pay losses on prop
erty destroyed by fire at springville.
II that be true, then there is an ex-
ceIent moral for all the rest Of the
people.
Insure in Utah companies, rather than
in those that calmly take your money
out of the state, and laugh at you from
the ashes Of your lost property.
There is a good deal Of logic In the
slogan of the Manufacturers: Utah
goods for Utah people" And the prin-
ciple is broad enough to include all
kinds of insurance.

AN AMERICAN OPPORTUNITY.

And whether the prize be a ribbon or
throne,
The winner is he who can go it alone.
Thus the late John Godfrey SAKE, in
a rhymed commentary on euchre-a
game which, like All Sin, he didn't un-
derstand.
Just now number Of American man
ufactUrers are preparing for an exhibit
Of machinery in Berlin in the summer
Of nineteen-ten. They courteously asked
the German government to participate,
and offered space and concessions to
German manufacturers. The latter have
replied with a blunt declination. They
declare the show will serve to exploit
American methods, and American ma
chinery-and the day Of things made
in Germany will pass.
There is the time for the American
manufacturers to play it alone" They
have the rooms in which they propose
to make their show. Germans are like
other people. They have curiosity.
Also, they are a thrifty and business
ike people. They will go to the show.
They will inspect American mechanism
Of every description. They will observe
the superiority above that Of their own
country, If it exists. And If IT didn't
exist, the sagacious American makers
would not give the show. And when
they have so determined the better
things they will buy them.
No need Of the German government
taking part. No need Of German man
ufacturers competing. An American
show in Berlin viii win the fatherland
for Americana they go it alone.
