OILING THE STREETS As movement is on
foot for oiling the streets of this city the fol-
lowing item from the Rockand Courier-Gazette
of June 18th is of interest:
The new oil sprinkler was put in commission
Tuesday on some of the streets leading back
from Main street. 1t had made but one trip
over Main street, when somebody raised
howl and Mayor Blethen called halt In spite
of continued rains and unremitting service of
the water sprinkler Main street has been I'M
usually dusty this year and the suffering pub
lie circulated petition asking to have the
thoroughfare oiled. Two years ago this was
done, and although the odor was rather often
sive at first, the street was virtually free from
dust during the summer. Residents of back
streets were also well pleased with the expert
ment, one woman in particular telephoning
this office that she was able to keep her win
dows open for the first summer since she had
lived there. For day or two after it has been
applied the oil is very nasty on the streets, but
by holding our noses and lifting our garments
at proper height we can stand it until the oil
has dried in and accomplished it's purpose. The
statement tHdI OIL is not uSeQ on paVGmentS IN
other cities is disproved by the custom of
Maiden. Mass, where all of the principal
streets are oiled each season. and in Boston
where the system is coming more and more
into vogue. It's of oil or dust. Take
your choice.
STEAMER NOTES. Patrons of the Bangor
division of the Eastern Steamship Corporation,
will miss going to Fosters wharf in Bost
which for many years has been the Boston
terminal of the route The Boston terminal of
the Bangor line is now the south side of India
wharf Atlantic avenue, foot of India street,
near Rowe's wharf elevated and Boston, Re-
we're Beach & Lynn railroad stations. The
Kennebec lines terminal is at Fosters wharf,
and that of the International lines or the south
side of Central wharf :. The steamer Golden
Rod was off the Brooksville, Isiesboro and Bel
fast route last week for the usual overnaulng
and painting preparatory for the summer BUSH
ness and the Anna Belle took her place, max
ing two trips daily Declaring that it is i'm
possible to put more boats on coastwise
steamers and at the same time run them at
profit, Calvin Austin of Boston, president of
the Eastern Steamship lines, protested June
18th before the Senate interstate commerce
committee against the proposed legislation
compelling equipment of life-savng boats ade-
quate to save all human lives on steamships
Mr.. Austin said the only serious danger coast
wise steamships had to fear was fog, and the
coast being SO near, wireless equipment and
searchlights were adequate equipment in time
of stress to summon the help sure to come. AS
evidence of all this he said his line had never
lost life. The steamers of the Eastern
Steamship corporation began making regular
landings at Northport campground last Mon
day.

ANOTHER EFFORT
FOR FREE DELIVERY
REQUIREMENTS ARE MET
POSTMASTER OWEN WRITES
DEP ASKING FOR
SERVICE IN CITY.

Following the completion of the
house numbering and posting of
street signs and the order of the city
council instructing the mayor to let
contracts for all delinquent sidewalks,
Postmaster o. j.. Owen today wrote
the postoffice department urging the
establishment of free city delivery of
mail in Conway at once The post
master calls the attention of the de-
partment to the fact that all require
ments in the way of numbers, street
signs, sidewalks, street lights, ETC.,
have been met, and states that pa
irons will provide necessary recep-
tacles for the mail.
The receipts of the office, according
to Postmaster Owen, were S14,029.24
for the year ending March 81, and
$13,3l7.70 for the year ending June
80, 1912. The average for the past
four years has been considerably in
excess of the minimum receipts re-
quired by law for free delivery SER
vice, which is $4,000 per year, ex-
elusive of box rents.
The city was inspected last year on
a former application for free city de-
livery and with the exceptions of
house numbers, street signs and
small amount of new sidewalk, the re-
port of the Inspector was favorable.
These requirements have now been
provided, and Postmaster Owen is
confident the improved service will be
granted at an early date.

SUPT. CANNON EXPLAINS DIS.
CREPANCY IN ANNUAL
SCHOOL REPORT.
Editor Log Cabin Democrat:

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
The comparative statements and
statistics given in Mondays daily edi-
ton concerning the enrolment in the
Conway high school in 1901 and
l9l1-12, while explained to some ex-
tent, are yet calculated to leave a
wrong impression on the minds of
some people. The figures shown in
the official annual report of the dis
trict gives, the total enrolment for
the years mentioned above as 787 and
GIG, respectively. This shows SEEM
ing decrease of enrolment this year
as compared to last year. Your ex-
planation is correct, but does not go
quite far enough to show the real
comparison.
1t should be remembered and a
reference to the records will show,
that every pupil promoted last year
at the mid-year promotions was
counted twice to make the total of
1851. Ihls year l counted only the
number actually enrolled, not count
ing any pupil twice, and we had a
total of 676. A little more than 160
pupils were promoted this year at the
m.d-term promotions. Counting as
last year, this would show total of
more than $40, or, in round numbers,
so more than the preceding year.
That is, whether We take the actual
number of pupils entering school,
which is certainly the proper way to
do 1t, or whether we add the promo
tions this year to the actual enroll
ment, we get difference of about so
in 1912 over 1911.

PRELIMINARIEs FOR STATE FAIR

We note that the officers and man
ayers of the Utah State Fair are thus
early beginning preparations to make
that fair the best ever held so
far in Utah. All Indications are
that the year will be fruitful
agricuturally and horticulturaIly.
and in the growing of livestock.
Utah should be, and we believe is, on
the upgrade all the time, in the matter
of improving its livestock and its asri-
cultural and fruitraising interests gen
orally. This being the case, we should
have increasingly good State Fairs
every wear. and we believe that the Fair
Of next fall, win eclipse anything ever
held in this state heretofore
The officers Of the State Fair are
diligent and enterprising, and they are
doing good work all the time. We
trust that their efforts will be seconded
by all interests in Utah. the mining
interests included, so that the Fair will
be all that it should be.
One great addition to the big features
Of the Fair this year will be the fact
that the Irrigation Congress will be
held in this city at the same time that
! the Fair is on. This will give an ele.
ment of high importance and great in
terest TO the Fair itself. 1t is most ap-
propriate that the Irrigation Congress
| should thus cooperate with the Fair,
because without irrigation our Fair
would be small indeed, Irrigation is
the life and strength of all forms of our
agricultural products. and il is there.
! fore Of prime Importance 10 the State
at large, and 20 ell industries therein.
! ~ Is fortunate conjunction that the
! Irrigation Congress should be held here
at the time Of the State Fair. and il ia
an important anniversary OF the Con
/ gress also. since that Congress oriei-
mated in this city twenty years ago.
The state Fair grounds are ample TO
show everything that can be produced
in Utah, in the finest possible manner.
and to afford ample room also for
speeding in horse races. The improve
ment of the ground year By year by the
state Fair Association is important
and something good is added every
year.

been carried to the competitive extent

it should be, but which the Fair Off
cials are endeavoring to bring about
more practically than heretofore. is
competition between the counties in
their exhibits at the State Fair. If
we could have genuine. earnest compe-
tition between the counties in their ex.
hibits, including agricultural, horticul.
tural. livestock, and mineral produc.
tion, there would be an opportunity for
comparison that would be highly in.
structf1e and valuable. Such competi.
tion would also insure that the best of
the production of all kinds in the State
in every county and in every product
would be on exhibit. We trust that
the State Fair managers will be insist
ent in urging the counties TO come for.
ward with county exhibits, so that the
utmost that they all can do will be on
sight and IN comparison at the coming
State Fair. and increasingly so in every
annual State Fair that we are to have
in successive years.

RECALL BY BUREAUCRACY.

We hear a great deal in these times
about the dcsirability of the independ-
ence of the judiciary. and the peril of
any interference with judicial decis-
ions, lest the rights Of the people fall
into decay, and, become irretrievably
injured.
The recall of judicial decisions is,
strenuously resisted, and President
Taft has emphatically pronounced
against any assault upon the judiciary
and against the recall of Judges or Of
their decisions.
And yet We see all this pleading in
favor Of the independence of the judi
decisions blown away at a breath at
the initiative of Department in
Washington and recall by bureaucracy
instead Of by popular vote put into ef-
feet. Bureaucracy has its triumph in
the initiative of the Department Of
Justice against court by way Of re-
call OF a decision, and President Taft is
overridden completely also when Attor.
ney General Wickersham decides to
move against and recall, if possible, a
decision given by Judge Hanford Of
Seattle, annuling naturalization
that was obtained by perjury and
fraud
Judge Hanford annuled the natural.
ization papers Of one OLSON, who, the
Judge became satisfied, had sworn
falsely 10 obtain his naturalization. An
outcry was raised in many quarters
against Judge Hanford by reason Of
that snnulment, the claim being that
he had annuled the naturalization be-
cause OLSON was a Socialist, which was
not true. And now we see the pitiable
| spectacle of the publication of report
of detective, who, it seems has
been shadowing Judge Hanford to see
, whether he takes drink once m while
or not. According TO his report, Judge
Hanford does take drink when he
| feels like il, and even takes more than
one as ne strolls about the streets. All
this miserable espionage is pitiable
and disgusting in the extreme. and it
cannot but cause a reyulson Of feel
ing and deep disgust in the popular
! mind, first, in the procedure Of Attor.

APPROPRIATION BY RESOLUTION

The two houses Of Congress have
united in passing a Joint resolution ex-
tending the appropriations Of last year
through the month of July, therefore
the public work can 90 on in all its de-
pnrtments and phases Just as usual, al
though for at least part of one day.
they had to run without the authority
of law, and indeed in direct contra
vention of the requirements Of the
statutes but this will be overlooked be-
cause of the necessity of the case, and
because il was Congress that was at
fault, and not the departments them
selves.
1t has been very seldom in the his
tory of the government that the exten-
sion of appropriation by resolution has
been required. This is not unprece-
dented, however, and the government
will be put to no special inconvenience,
because Of course the resolution covers
any defect caused by the dereliction of
the law-making body. 1t is, however,
poor way to do business. There has
been ample time, since last December
for Congress to agree on the appropria-
tion bills, and they should have been
agreed upon long ago.
At the short session, which will be-
GIN next December, all the appropria
ton bills will haye to be passed within
three months. that is, the term of Con-
gress will end on the 4th Of March, and
its business will all have to be done by
that time, and all the appropriation
bills will undoubtedly be passed within
that time. But if they can be passed
next winter, as they have been at the
short session of Congress almost every
winter, within the three months, it
seems ridiculous to say that Congress
was unable to get them in shape to
pass them IN six months this year.
The whole action Of Congress during
its present session has been political,
technical, and foolish, so far as the
appropriation bills are concerned
They have been put over from day to
day, from week to week, and from
month to month, in order that one
house or the other might play politics,
and oct some supposed advantage, or a
gain that would help in the Presiden-
tial election. But If the people would
plainly indicate to those who thus
neglect the public business for parti-
san advantage that they would be held
responsible al the polls for that sort
of action, there would be less of it.
1t was feared for time that Con-
gress would not be able to get quor-
um in both houses in time TO pass even
this Joint resolution continuing the ap'
preparations, but The matter was so
serious that the members saw the nee
essity Of getting together, yet 1t was
under a sort OF compulsion that they
assembled and acted. 1t is poor way
to do public business, however, and
the people will not fail to record an
unofficial vote of censure against those
responsible for that sort Of bad work,
