THE GALLAGHER SALE.

Tho Tribune yesterday morning re.
ported a sale Of property On Main
street which, while not SO great in ag-
gregate amount as some other sales
that have been noted, is typical OF the
advance of Salt Lake realty. Eight
years ago Mr.. John GALLAGHER pur-
chased this property from former May
or Ezra Thompson, paying him $3.50
a front foot for it. In these eight
years Mr.. GALLAGHER has had the use
OF the property, and has almost dou-
bled his money in its rise in value.
That is. he paid some $4,000 for the
property, and now sells il for 100000.
He has therefore made moro than
$4,000 year on this property merely
by holding ii aud having, besides, the
use OF it in the meantime,
The advance in price or property on
Main street has been the phenomenon
of valuations in this city. II shows
that formerly tho price at which
Main street property WAS held was
altogether too low. Now it Is reach
ing metropolitan figures. Those who
have held on TO their Main street prop
erty are those who win. and those who
bought at the lower estimates also win,
and those who sold are the losers.
The lesson is that it is always a
good paving investment to buy Salt
Lake realty.

fessed fakes, what an uproar the
Roosevelt faction madel And neither
lid his workers cease their efforts at
any time to capture those Southern
delegations which are now pronounced
to be so very outrageous, 1t Is, thoy
claim, a shame to allow such delega-
tions to come in and vote in Repub-
lican convention when they have no
possibilitv Of returning electoral votes
from their States. But nevertheless, if
tho Colonel could have got those dele
cations either by fair or by foul, he
would have rejoiced. The fact that
the National Committee, the Roosevelt
throw out those contestants, made an
end Of the farce which is so freely
confessed by Mr.. Munsey.
Another contention of Colonel Roose-
velt s is that the bosses mustn't dis
pose OF the Presidency; that il is the
high prerogative of the people to say
who shall occupy that office. This is
truism, admitted by everybody. But
it is not admitted by everybody that
Roosevelt is the people, and that every
thing must give way to him according
~. Four years ago, however, he him
self, acting as the big boss, undertook
to dispose of the Presidency and, in
fact, did dispose OF it. Tt was through
Roosevelt IS efforts that Taft was noni-
mated and elected, This Mr., Taft him

thanks. But how does it happen that
1t was perfectly proper for one big
boss to dispose Of the Presidency four
years ago. and that this year il is such
a terrible outrage for bosses (unless
they change to his sido and become
leaders'') TO havo anything TO say
about the nomination of a Presidcnt9

FAKE CONTESTS AND BOSSES

-Four years ago Col. Roosevelt was
on precisely the opposite side OF tho
Southern delegate question from the
side he is on this year. At that time
he wrote as follows to frjond in In
diana:
made to get UP boiling delegations from
the Southern States and the meetings az
which these so-called delegates arc

this means, only so far as il means any-
thing, that they are held under the lead
OF persons who wish TO be put In office
but whose character and capacity are
as III TO be appointed under this admin
istraioD. In these cases, be il rcmem-
bered. that the failure TO secure Office Is
not the result Of the political action OF
their political action is due TO their fail
ure 10 secure office.
II seems that those who got I'D the
contests against Col. Roosevelt's pro-
gramme four years ago were unworthy
political scamps who had no standing
at home and deserved no considera-
ton abroad. This year, however, the
contests in those States are the es-
seucc of virtuous effort, while those
who hold 10 the regular conventions
are tho br1gands, thieves, and ruffians
of the Republican party.
A curious light is shown upon these
Roosevelt contests from the Southern
States in the Washington Times. which
Is owned by Mr.. Frank Munsev, one
OF the greatest sponsors for and sup
porters of Col Roosevelt. Mr.. Munsoy
explains that the contests were NOT
real. that they were got I'D "for psy-
geological effect as a move in practical
politics; 1T was necessary for the Roose-
Welt people to start contests on those
early Taft elections In order that a
tabnlation of delegate strength could
be put out that would show Roosevelt
holding q good hand in the game.
rhat Is, 1t was all q bluff and a game.
although Roosevelt has been especially
severe IN denouncing the word game
as used In this connection. Still. Mr..
Munsey evidently considered the whole
matter az game, and the Roosevelt
contests legitimate bluff in that
game. As he explains, table showing

ing confession Of inferiority; but the
table which showed ''Taft %, Roose.
welt 10. contested 127" looked a whole
lot better And SO, as Mr.. Munsey
puts IT in his paper,
That is the whole story of the larger
nuinocr OF southern contests that were
started early In the game. II WAS never
expected that they would be taken very
seriously; they served a useful purposs

cered and cared for. These, provided
years before that contest. would have
uverted the war altogether.
That is one great point that those
who resist the military preparations al
ways miss, and yet it is the great ar
gument in favor Of keeping up our
navy; that is, that with proper mill
tary and navy equipment we are no
temptation to ary nation to provoke a
war When VIC are fully able to de-
feDd ourselves, when this ability is evil
dent and is ready for service at any
time. there is no likelihood Of any war
being forced upon US. and we do not
wish to force war upon any other pn-
tion; we simply wish to be left alone in
peace and IN our commanding position
among the nations. But in order TO be
left in peace, it is necessary that we
should retain and maintain that com
maDding position. Nothing else than
sufficient preparation both in army and
navy viii do this. Therefore we favor
sufficient army to be the ample nu-
cleus, for the rallying of needed forces
upon. at any time that there is call;
and in the meantime we favor the main
tenance Of our navy at such a high
state OF strength and efficiency that 1T
will be a warning TO all nations 20
keep their hands off, and also to respect
the Monroe doctrine, to the protection
Of which we are fully committed.

COMPARATIVE HUMANENESs.

There was general uprising Of pro-
administration Of the kongo Free
State by Leopold, tho late avaricious,
unscrupulous, and consclenCeless King
Of Belgium. Letters were written to
newspapers in all tho civilized world
exploiting the cruelties that were prac~
ticed, the aoggiugs, the maimings and
the jortures inflicted upon the natives
in order to compel them to bring in
each his or her quota Of rubber. Pite-
Gus pictures were printed OF mapgJed
human beings, some who had lost
hands, some feet, and some victims Of
cruel tortures, because they had failed
to bring in the rubber required. The
eDginery through which all This cruelty
and these mutilations were inflicted
was represented pictorially In the
press. Many books of the same order,
giving like accounts and similar pic
lures, were printed. Finally, the Bel
gians became aroused and determined
to put an end TO the atrocities They
bought out the interests OF the cruel
old king, and set on foot reforms
which were calculated to avert the
scorn and denunciations Of the world.
1t seems, In fact, that there have
been great amelorations of the for
mer scaudalous conditions that pre-
vailed while King Leopold had undis-
puted sway; and yet there is appa-
rently something to desire by way OF
reform on the Kongo. a dispatch re-

GOOD FOR THE FIRST DAY,

The first days work of the Republi
can National Convention in CHICAGO i,
cminently satisfactory The opposition
massed against Senator Root, the Taf;
candidate for temporary chairman. and
Root won handsomely against that com
blned opposition. This shows that the
Iatt forces are IN control OF the con
ventlon; they have the majority of the
delegates. 1t can fairly be presumed
therefore, that Taft IS nomination is
reasonably sure.
Inc preliminary skirmishing was Wig
orous, and the opposition lost no oppor-
tunlty to press its case. But as against
stoadfast majorities, minoritics do not
| win
The roll call was tedious, and the IN
terest manifested by everybody in 1T
was very keen. Salt Lake City thronged
the bulletin boards, and displayed the
greatest political anxiety of the year
thus far, to keep track Of the vote as
1t was reported, State after State.
The Taft forces stood firm for Root,
there was lttlo wavcring, The oppo.
sltiou also stood firm, and the lineup
as made on the vote as between Sen
ator Root and Governor McGovern can
fairly be assumed TO be close index

will get the like vote.
Important developments are likely to
occur today. The contention that the
delegates whom the Roosevelt man.
ayers affect to assume are yet in con-
test, should not vote. is folly; they
voted, as they had the right to
vote. They will continue to vote, also,
aud the Taft coutestees will vote the
Taft way, Just as they have done thus
far
The contest between the Roosevelt
and the Taft forces is something more
than spirited; it is bitter. The evil
words buried from the Roosevelt side
are words that ought not to have been
spoken, and that are certain 10 be re-
