WHAT ANTIQUITY BREEDS.

What nearly every town needs is
q more pronounced public spirit Civic
stagnation is the result of indiffer-
ence and that indifference has its
root in a selfishness that considers
nothing but private gain. Take any
community whose citizens are intent
only on their private affairs with mer-
chants not disposed to reach out
Tor trade by using printers ink in
the columns Of the newspapers which
constantly boost for the town and
sou find a community destitute OF
progress and public spirit. 1t is a
short sighted policy based upon the
wrong idea that it does not pay in
dividually to spare even fraction
of time to devote to the general good,
In truth it does not pay not to do it
for in these pushing days the town
destitute of that wholesome wide
awake spirit which makes for the
public welfare falls behind. Other
towns pass 1t by, draw its trade,
and leave it hopelessly in the rear as
a fossilized specimen of antiquity pet
rified through clinging to dead sell
fishness and obsolete methods.

prise and activity. Phoebe Is among
The great silver camps of the world
and has only been held back by lack
on capital in the panic times fol-
lowing the completion of the branch
railroad from Caliente. Its old mines,
famous in the days of the seventies,
show vast reserves of ore that await
the touch of capital and it is certain
that direct connections with the east
and west by main line would result
in an immense increase in activity.
Los Angeles is vitality interested in
Phoebe, as in every other mining dis
trict that offers opportunity for ex-
tension of trade. and her aid at this
important juncture will result in Sc
curing some of the benefits that now
gravitate towards the Great Salt
Lake with the irresistible impetus

Los ANGELES CAN HELP,
SAYS MINING REVIEW

Aside from giving space to the let
ter recently addressed to officials of
the Salt Lake Route on the rail
road situation, the Los Angels Mining
Review makes editorial mention UNI
der the caption Los Angeles Can
Help" as follows:
In another part Of this issue of
the Mining Review is reproduced a
letter recently addressed to the San
Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake rail
road by the Phoebe Commercial club
and in which strong arguments are
advanced in favor of route to avoid
the Meadow Valley Wash, where dis
aster has recently overtaken the COM
pany. 1t is suggested that Phoebe be
placed upon the main line by con-
struction through Bristol Pass, q
route that would probably require
25 more miles Of grading than an
other route route under consideration
but which would open up a country
prolific in undeveloped agricultural
and mineral resources.
The letter is strongly commended
to the attention Of the Chamber OF
Commerce, Chamber of Mines and
other public bodies of this city with
the suggestion that early action be t.
ken in an official way to endorse the
request of Phoebe and set in motor
plans that may tend to a realization
Of its hopes. Such course, taken in
,nediately and with the greatest force
possible, would do great deal to
wards cementing better feeling be
tween Phoebe and this city and thu
bring added commercial benefits t,
the Pacific coast. At the presen
time practically the entire business
OF the district is enjoyed by Sal
Lake City. which has always cultiy

Current Comment
CONFERENCE OF GOVERNORS.

The conference of governors which /
oeived many expressions of APPROX
al from different parts of the coun-
try, and 1t is probable that meetings |
of this kind will be held every year
hereafter.
1t is recognized that by such con-
ferences the governors as represen-
tatives of the states can bring about
greater uniformity in state admin
istrations and the enactment of state
laws. Thus also the state govern
ments may be quickened into activity
in field of legislation and law en-
forcement which has been more or
less neglected. This would include
what some persons have called the
twilight zone" of jurisdiction, where
state and federal authority approach
closely to each other.
There has been a disposition to
80 stretch federal authority over this
SO called zone; some persons have
thought that amendments to the fed
eIal constitution will be inevitable. To
this class Senator Root of New York
does not belong. Recently he asked
is it not worth while, instead of try
ing to get the constitution of the
United States changed so as to take
away from the states their power Ov-
er matters which are essentially of
|
not agree on such notifications of
their individual policies as to do the
least possible harm and accomplish
re greatest possible results in the
6 forcement of the law"
The persistence with which SEN
stor Root returns to the subject of
eater efficiency in the state govern
Inents shows that he is fully con-
vinced that reform of that char
acter is of the highest importance.
In fact il is one of the great reforms
which will be demanded In the near
| future; and the comments upon it
which one sees from time to time in
the press indicate that it is growing
rapidly in public appreciation.
The annual meetings of the COVER
rors will strengthen this tendency
and elevate the states in public es-
| timation as factors in the whole
scheme of government. 1t is proba.
Bile that the next melting will be held
| in the capital of one Of the states in
stead of Washington, thus empha-
sizing still further that it is state
movement. Incidentally this will have
the further good effect of supplying
the governors with information which
presumably some of them do not pos
sess concerning local conditions In
the states thus visited.-Denver Re

Phoebe is a long way from being a
dead one. On the contrary, the des-
truction of the railroad by the floods
in Meadow Valley Wash, has given
the Phoebe boosters new energy The
issue Of the Record of the 10th ms.
contains vigorous letter by the Pr
oche Commercial club setting forth
the many reasons why the new route
should be via Phoebe. Every effort is
being made by them to convince the

the correct one, and the enterprise
shown is well deserving of success

DECLINE OF ROYAL FAMILIES.

The want Of a direct heir to King
Leopold OF Belgium reminds us how
In The course Of time royal families
lose their power and not unoften be-
come extinct. In Holland the illus
trious house of Orange which SO dis
tinguished itself in the sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries now hangs up
on a slender thread of the life Of
Queen Wilhelmina and her infant
ch.'d. The Bourbons Of France, who
ruled for centuries, and the Bona
parties, whose brief meteoric career
startled the world, have both fallen
upon evil days.
In Sweden the Vasa dynasty which
numbered in it's ranks such kings
as Gustavus Adolphus and Charles
XII practically ceased to be cent
ury ago and was succeeded by Bern
adotte the founder Of the present
reigning family.
In England the once powerful Plan
agnets. the naughty Tudors and the
unfortunate Stuarts have long since
passed away as distinct royal lines

fact that not SO very many years

ACTED WITH WISDOM.

At the last meeting Of the board
Of county commissioners, great
howl was set up because Chairman
Carman advocated a reduction Of the
salary Of the night policeman and
fire marshal appointed to the place
made vacant by the death of Alex
snder Orr. 1t was only aler the town
advisory board was called In for con-
sultation that the cut was finally
made and following which the pres
emit incubent OF the office, James G.
Small, was appointed.
The Record does not believe in cut
ting salaries: II it can be avoided.
Those who are responsible for the
conduct OF the Salt Lake Route, dis
liked to let out nearly thousand en-
ployes after the memorable flood OF
January /. But with the roads rev.

That the late flood was wide In
its consequences there Is no doubt.
Not only did employees of the railroad
suffer-from the men holding
the higher subordinate offices down
to the section hand--but it hurt the
wholesaler who shipped his wares ov-
er the line now out of commission.
Phoebe was hit hard, too, because
mines were forced to close down eth

lull pending q restoration Of the rail
road-which suffered the worst cal
amity Of the kind ever recorded In
the history Of railroading.
We believe that Chairman Carmar
and his associate commissioners act
ed with wisdom when they sought tt
economixe. 1t was pointed out a
the time that the town fund was no
very fat; that the money coming IL
to replenish 1t was not very plenty
with every indication that it would b
