new form to the city's business in cx-
change for the old system. They have
done a good deal of conscientious work
in this. some Of the commissioners visit

demonstration Of how the commission
form works there, and others visiting
western cities. including Seattlc, for
the same purpose, There is no question
but that the commissioners are we'll
disposed TO give salt Lake City ID good
government.
They have also given satisfactory
evidence that their procedure will be
nonpariisau and unbiased. The appoint

THE PEACE MEETING.

The great peace meeting held IN
New York ou Saturday evening gave
rise TO GOOD deal of wrapgling he.
fore it was held, and contrary 10 the
spirit which prompted the asscmhlaco,
there appears 10 be but little peace
In connection with it. Doubtless much
of this confusion Is 10y reason Of
the influence of Col. Roosevelt, who
considers the peace movement largely
bypocritical, who raised q number oil
objections to the propramn:c. q
finally, after the programme was
changed, apparently TO meet his views,
fatty declined 10 attend tue meeting.
II must be confessed in all caudor
that. from Col. Roosevelt S standpoint,
there is a good deal TO say IN defense
Of his position; and VIC believe that
be Is correct where he SAYS that the
peace treaties, amended as they ap-
parcntly must be, will fall far short
in effectiveness from the standard OF
public expectation. Still, there wOn!d
appear TO hc no good reason for his
bumptious attitude on this question.
The meeting itself WAS of the most
enthusiastic character; and President
Taft received tho ovation aud endorse
mouts 10 which his good intentions
certainly cptitle him. There is no rca'
son to doubt that tho treaties. as cN-
planned by President Taft, viii 90 y

the world s peace. 1t is not necessary
to meet the Roosevelt idea, which de-
mands Instant and universal peace and
the acquIescepcc Of all mankind in 1t
if We arc 10 have peace treaties at
ali. in order TO sec the value Of th"
proposals made BY President Taft. il
is very seldom. indeed, that humanity
can clear up ut ono move all of tho
evils IN any given direction, The best
that VIC can bopc TO do is 10 move
gradually. sweeping away evils as far
as possible, and continuing the process
until The best results have been OBJ
tsipcd. II is Just so in this peace pro-
grammc of which President Taft is uu-
Qurstionably the head BY virtue of his
great concessions in the way of peace,
aud his formulation Of the peace
treaties with Great Britain and France.
It is not TO bc expected that these
treaties. even ir ratified by he United
States. by Great Britain, and by
France, will Immediately secure peace
10 all the world: but they will Ger
taiuly he mighty bulwark for peace
in the last reckoning, The fact that tho
great meeting in New York WAS in ct
feet Taft meeting, ought TO
strengthen those treaties, make their
ratification by our Senate certain, and
put President Taft In the limclioht
of the world as the great paciicator Of
his time.
Beginning with these treaties, il will
be easier TO move forward for world
peace by Ear than it would be to so
move without them; and this alone is
powerful argument for their ratifica-
tion, IN spite of the criticism. Of the
cayiliug, and OF all the pcssimism which

WAS REYES A FAKE?

There is something curious about tic

that he should escape being SHOT, aud
especially that before the trial II should
