TWO PLAYS OF THE WEEK.

Salt Lake has been fortunate in the
past week, in the matter of good plays
presented. Mr.. Max Figman at the
Colonial and Mr.. Edeson at the Salt
Lake nave provided two plays of so
wide a diversity and so high quality
that one gets new evidence of the
growth of the town. Nothing but a
real city could have provided both
with such audiences as these have had.
And here were but two of the many
theatres doing successful business in
Salt Lake.
Mr.. Figman has long been reeog-
nized as a superior actor. But in Moth
ing has he risen quite to the level OBJ
served in Mary James Pa" There is
a triumph of character delineation, of
character development, that is very
convincing. A man is better for the
sight of the play And no man who
saw the star and his company but will
be glad of Mr.. Figman's talent, and
glad Of his growth.
Mr.. Edeson continues along the lines
he marked out seasons ago. "A Mans
a Man" gives him opportunities to re-
veal that strong type of Americanisn
which seems likely to be his peculiar
forte. He adds something to the tota
Of which an American is proud. And
he adds much to the sweeping away o.
trivialities. and the clinging to essen
dals in the judgment Of character.
The city is fortunate in these TIVE
plays.

ANOTHER GREAT AMERICAN.

When Francis Scott Key was in
trouble, and looked across the waters
and saw the stars and stripes waving
over the forts, his heart swelled with
joyous love for his country, and his
eyes filed with tears of gratitude.
When the ten thousand Greeks
marched to the top of the last eleva-
ton, and saw the sea, their souls lift
ed in exultation because the highway
to their home was before them. They
were safe!
When the people waited there In In
dependence STRENGTHENING. hoping.
dreading, wishing-they heard the
solemn tones of the great bell ringing
liberty to a newborn nation, and were
glad.
Now and then a man strikes out the
chord of splendid national jubilation.
Now and then a man stands up among
| his fellow citizens and utters word
which fills them anew with the fire of
| country-Iove, with the thrill of nation
hone, with the tonic of patriotic re-
solve. And such a word came when
| Senator AIdrich made this declaration:
| From Mexico to Cape Horn there are
great nations that ought to be allied
to us. You cannot imagine the posi-
biIities of trade in the Orient and in
reawakened China. But we can never
trade successfully with them until the
United States, by virtue of It's great
resources, becomes the financial CEN
ter of the world.
1t is a big country, a splendid ma
ton, a magnificent republicl This
man stands an exponent of the policy
that has helped to make it great. He
cares for no other land. He prefers nc
other people. He labors for the ad-
vancement of no other nation. He
hopes for the aggrandizement of hi;
own land and for the happiness and
the prosperity OF his fellow citizens
And he places before their eyes one o
the pictures when have appealed tt
him; one Of the ideals which hav'
beckoned him; one of the dreams
which he is helping his fellows TO real
! lie.
|; 1t is an uplift. 1t is a blessing. I
is a thing to be thankful for. And tn
man who has said it speaks only tn
words of truth and soberness. Tn
United States is but at the portal o
, her greatness.

CLAWS and Pinchot and their fellows

BE SURE YOU ARE RIGHT
FIRST.

Just another word or two on this
matter of the application for a iran
cnise for an interurban road In SAT-
Lake county:
Representatives of Mr.. knights
company asked the county commas
sioners of this county for blanket
franchise over all the roads and streets
of the county. They wanted three
years before they began work. They
speeified nothing as TO the fares they
would charge, promised no compensa-
tion TO the county, and set no limit OF
time at which their road should De
completed.
If that franchise had been granted
no other franchise could have been
even considered in this county until
the Knight company had made its Sc
lection and it had three years IN
which TO choose {. route. The appica-
tion for rights for roads that are GER
tain to be built, roads backed in GOOD
faith and with plenty of capital
could not have been considered Tor
such time as the AHishI COMPANY
might choose TO wait.
We are not arguing that either MI
knight or his friends contemplated
any delay. We simply are trying 10
get before the reader the unwisdom OF
granting a franchise to Mr.. Knight or
any one else for such an extraordinary
monopoly.
1t is to be regretted that any citizen
has. been misled by reports-neWspaper
and other-based on hostility to the
county commissioners, If those Of
fieers had granted the Knight fran
chise in the manner IN which 1t was
drawn and presented, they would have
deserved the severest condemnation
from all the people of the county.
And we hardly think the authors OF
letters to the commissioners. some al
most demanding the granting or the
franchise, would themselves have done
the things they demand.
Let critics first inform themselves.
The commissioners want interurban
roads to be built. In every way posi-
BILE they will help in that building. But
they would be bad servants of the peo'
pie if they did not require applicants
for such extensive rights to specify the
route over which they proposed Il
build; and give assurance Of early be
ginning and prompt completion of the
line; and arrange the rate of fares t.
be charged, and provide for compen'
sation to the public that gives then
the rights.

APPLES FROM THE "sHoW-ME"
STATE.

Saturday, at intervals through about
half The day, a big freight auto went
down Main street with boxes Of ap-
pies, parts of a carload of Missouri
pippins, for the United Grocery COM
pany. Looked like good apples. Travel
didn't seem to have hurt them. Good
color, and maybe good eating. And all
that.
But do you suppose the United
Grocery company was buying apples
from Missouri because they didn't
want to deal in Utah apples? Do you
imagine any house in town wouldn t
rather sell fruit grown in this state
than bring it in from another state?
And do you think the apples taste
any better being from Missouri?
Don't you suppose there are as good
apples from Utah orchards as there
are from any Missouri orchard-from
Nodaway to Iron Mountain?
The buying of Missouri fruit is due
to the fact that Utah people do not
produce enough to supply the demand
II they did, they could have a market
as sure as sunrise, and as profitable as
any man has a right 10 desire.
Box Elder county people are not cut
ting down their peach orchards. but
they are planting lots of apple or
,chards. They believe apples viii be TIT

NOT THE LEAST BIT OF DANGER,
GENTLEMEN.

Some kind friend has enriched The
Herald editorial rooms
with a. circular letter entitled Radical
Railroad Legislation and Its Effects on
Business" We read it with a good
deal of interest.
But We don't exactly understand
what it means.
For example, we are advised by
line in the first page that the railroad
companies of the country have held up
purchases to the amount of over one
thousand million dollars; and that, al
though these purchases for the most
part are for necessities in the making
and maintenance of railroads, they
have not been made-the money has
not been ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS the rail-
roads are afraid Of something. Just
what is not so clear.
On the second page the reason be-
comes more apparent. 1t has to do
with the fear of radical antl-railroad
legislation in nation and state, and the
public is assured by the circular that
The trouble with the whole situation
is that many of the men who make the
laws are not familiar with the true in
wardness of the relations and depend
ence which the manufacturing and
business interests have upon the gen.
eral railroad situation, nor do they
realize that In administering their so
called discipline to the railroad COM
panies, that we are the ultimate con-
sumers" of that discipline.
1t affords The Herald-Republicar
much pleasure to assure the authors
of the circular that there is not the
slightest reason in the world for wor-
nv. There shall be no radical anti
railroad legislation, either in state OF
nation. We expect to see orders fol
the spending of that thousand million
published at least as early as Tues
days paper.
1t is a safe promise. Here in Utaf

CHIEF BARLOW ISSUES A WISE
ORDER.

When any city official does worthy
act, he is going TO be commended by
this paper. And when he does an I'M
worthy act he is going to get criticised
with the understanding that not all
the things that should be criticised will
receive that treatment. We will have
to devote some of the paper to news
and advertisement.
But this order of Chief Barlow to
make an end of the ownerless ours
that that have been barking about the
busiest street corners in town, is a
move in the right direction. And The
Herald Republican cordially COM
mends it.
Really, that prevalence OF dogs has
been out of tune with the song Salt
Lakers are singing. 1t has an essen
TALLY rural effect. 1t is a spectacle
that goes with the backwoods. and the
swamp. The spectacle of half a dozen
dogs running like mad about the busy
streets. barking at every wheel that
goes past, leaving it and chasing an
other-with an evident aimlessness and
simple revealing in state of nature
that isn't a characteristic of city. 1t
doesn't go with the big town. 1t has
| been a constant and untrue comment
on enterprise.
There is nothing the matter with the
| dogs. except that they follow their I'M
checked natures to the extent of biting
! people now and again. But the big Of
/ Tending is in their presence, their un-
licensed condition, their noisy yelping
chasing in a big ethyl That cannot be
permitted. And we are very glad the
chief has issued his orders. We shall
be interested In noting whether the
policemen understand it is to be-
obeyed.
And presently, when that reform ha:
been established, we shall hope to read
that the chief has ordered his men Il
carry their clubs in their belts unit
there is occasion to use them. i
doesn't look we'll to see an officer Will
his club in his hand. 1t is not neces
sary, and where they have learned thu
trade of policemen, they don't do it.
However, one good work at time.

better average investment. Other parts
of the state are planting apple trees.
There are countless thousands of I'M
used acres of hillside and bench LAND
that would make the very best possi-
BILE orchard ground. And it is lying
there waiting for some man to take 1t
and plant it-and wait in certainty Tor
the profit.
The field is big. 1t cannot be crowd-
ed Population is growing faster than
the trees can grow. And there aren't
enough apples for the population here
now.
Else there wouldn't be any importa-
ton from Missouri.

it will take care of you later.
