Belated Citizen Sees Curious
Sight at Downtown Street
Intersection.

n GELTING steel by electricity is
IN N one of the curious things
WI which may be seen in Salt
Lake by the bclated citizen
provided he be sufficiently belatcd to
have missed the lineup of trolley
cars at 1.O5 clock in the morning.
At the intersection of Second South
and Main streets, after that hour this
morning, a space on the street cal
crossing was seen 10 be inclosed In
canvas, on which was the warning
"Danger'' And it was within. that
inclosure that the curious process was
being executed.
Men within the inclosure who are
prosecuting the work wear smoked
goggles to protect their eyes from the
flash and glare produced as the electric
current instantaneously melts the steel.
They also have on their hands insuiat-
ing gloves and on their feet insulations
TO prevent shock and possible death
from the high voltage current utilized.
Outside the inclosure is stationed q
guard to warn curious persons of the
danger of too near approach.
Without recourse to technical term
inology it is explained that in the pas
sage of cars over the crossing the ends
of rails Immediately abutting upon the
flange spaces become worn down into
what are called "cupouts. " This wear
also comes at rail Joints. So deep do
these become in time that in passing
over them the cars are subjected to
bumps and jolts which create CON
siderable noise and do not add to the
comfort of passengers nor to long life
in the cars.

Build Up Joints.

In, the days of not long ago 1t was
necessary to tear up the crossings IN
order to replace them with new ones,
entailing great expense and lndlctlng
upon the public the Inconvenience of
car traffic interruption and of having
the street rendered temporarily almost
impassable. But science has come in
with remedy for the defect without
inhiction of inconvenience or Interrupt
tion to the daily traffic. This is in the
electric welding and building-up pro-
cess.
At the point to be built up the rail is
heated by electric current, the circuit
being made through the rail itself and
the trolley wire above, with the inter
vention Of special electrical device
to intWsify the heat-producing element
in the current. Then a steel rod, i've"
eights of an inch in diameter, is con
pected with the overhead wire. This
rod is then dropped upon the low part
in the rail and withdrawn, the process
being repeated many times, At each
infringement Of the rod upon the rail
a portiou Of it is melted OFF and fused
with the rail at the low point. Every
time the rod IS dropped and withdrawn
a portion of it in molten form IS left
on the rail- This process IS continued
until sufficient amount of the. rod
has been left on the rail to have built
il up to it's former height.

viii naturally develop undeT better
service and lower rates.
But the Journal does not believe
in this hasty and indiscriminate
condemnation of a man like Senator
Bryan, who helped. give US the par
eel post, simply because his idea of
how to perfect the system differs
from the idea of another public Of
fetal who is also interested in per-
fecting it. Senator Bryan is one of
the authors of the law and as a
member of the Senate committee on
post offices and post roads is charg-
ed with a responsibility for the sue
cess of the project which, coupled
with his recognized good faith in all
matters Of public policy, ought TO en-
title him to fair and dispassionate
consideration at the hands of his
Florida constituents.

SENATOR BRYAN AND
THE PARCEL POST
Pensacola JOurnaD

The Journal regrets to note the
criticism which some of the Florida
papers are making of Senator n P
Bryan because of his attitude re-
garding the postmaster generals
order raising the weight limit from
II to 20 pounds in the parcel post
service.
Senator Bryan was one of the au-
thors Of the present parcel post law.
He helped lead the fight for its pas
sage in the Senate. He is an orig
inal parcel post advocate. He fav-
ors the extension of the parcel post
service now.
AS we understand the case, SEN
ator Bryan's criticism of the present
order is based on the theory that
Congress and not the postmaster
general should have the power to
regulate weights and rates in the
parcel post and that it is better to
go slow and be sure of your ground
than TO act hastily and perhaps
plunge the government and the par
eel post itself into financial difficult
ties that would hamper the develop
ment Of the parcel post for years to
come.
One OF the arguments always made
against public ownership and public
service is that the government can
not do business on business princi-
plies and that the people have to foot
the bills for mismanagement of pub
lie institutions. The Journal has
little faith in this argument, yet it
must be admitted that public SER
wants frequently use poor judgment
in the handling of the public money.
The parcel post is SO important
an institution to the welfare of the
people and the eXtortions of the ex-
burden on the public that We should
be careful to make no mistakes now
that will hamper or delay the proper
development of the parcel post SER
VICE III the llIiG " COue. NGSul6SS
to say a big parcel post deficit at
the end of the year would furnish
the enemies of the parcel post with
the very argument for which they
are looking and would strengthen
the attitude Of the express companies
in their fight against it. We should
therefore make no mistakes now.
The Journal has for years advo-
|cated the parcel post as a part of the
government service. The Journal
believes the present parcel post is
very incomplete and inadequate to
meet the real needs and desires of
the public. The Journal hopes to see
the system amplified in every way
until it does the entire business now
handled by the express companies
and much additional business that

WANTS FLORIDA
TO SHOW Up IN TENNESSEE

Governor Trammell has issued the
following proclamation:
The National Conservation Expo
sition to be held at Knoxville, Tenn,
from Sept. / to Nov. l, 1913, is de-
signed TO promote the highest de-
velopment and best use of the natur-
al resources of the states of the In
ion in order that these resources
may become perpetual sources of
wealth.
The officers of the exposition, men
of high standing in the country,
have honOred the state of Florida by
requesting that a large and repre-
sentative number of her citizens,
particularly those engaged in the
promotion of agricultural interests,
be urged to attend the conference OF
farmers of all the states at the ex7
position from Sept. II to 16
The officers of the exposition have
further honored our state by desig-
mating Thursday, October 80, 1913,
as Florida day, upon which occasion
it is desired that as many citizens

AS governor of Florida, it affords
me pleasure to communicate this
cordial invitation to the people and
to commend it to their careful and
favorable consideration.

TOO MUCH OF A GOOD THING

The Star doesn't dislike wealth,
but it thinks of it in about the same
spirit old man Smittik thought of
beer.
Old man Smittik was a Bohemian,
who made his home in Georgia
seacoast town just after the war.
Partly because the water didn't
agree with him, and principally be-
cause he didn't like water any how,
he drank nothing but beer, which
was shipped TO him by the kegfull
on a schooner from New York. He
was a temperate old man, but once
or twice, when storms delayed the
schooner, he almost died of thirst.
One day a young man blew in from
the scrub, invaded the town saloons
. and tanked up on beer He became
drunk, very drunk indeed; so drunk
he had to lie down and grab a root
to keep from falling off the face of
the earth. The town marshal pick
ed him up and soaked him in the
cooler. When arraigned before the
mayor the next morning, he begged
for leniency, saying that he would
not have become so very drunk but
for the beer, which was a beverage
he was not used to.
Now the mayor was a regular old
Solomon, and when he erred he tried
to err on the side of mercy, but the
young man had made a very often
sfVe exhibition of himself, and he
didn't feel justified in letting him
off easy without good reason. Beer
was a drink not much known in
Southern towns forty years ago, and
Blk was for the accommoda-
ton of sailors, who never could
drink enough of it to make them
drunk; so between mercy and what
might be injustice, the mayor was
in quandary.
A bright idea struck him. He
would summon what in these days
would be called expert evidence
Smittik came from a beer country
and Smittik had certainly qualified
as an expert on beer. Moreover, he
was a good citizen, and his opinion
had weight The mayor asked the
marshal to go to Smittik's store and
ask him please to come to the court
room. In a few minutes, the oblig-
ing and cheerful Smittik was pres
ent.
Mr.. Smittik," said the mayor,
after stating the points of the case,
in your honest and careful opinion,
how much beer is necessary to make
a man drunk?"
Smittik studied minute, looked
at the ceiling, blew a cloud of smoke,
and then expressed himself thus:
we'll, your honor, | thinks twenty
or thirty kiasses of peer a tay, but
ven man makes tam hog out ov
himself, l tink he orter be sent to
yail.''
The Star thinks that after man
has stacked up twenty or thirty mill
lion dollars, its time for the law to
step in and keep him from making a
hog of himself.

The Star doesn't see where Huerta
obtains any comfort out of his opin-
ion that American sentiment is not
backing Wilson. The president is
acting as a brake on the movement
toward war with Mexico If he let
loose, American troops would be
across the Rio Grande in twenty
four hours. And then, it might take
years, and cost millions of money,
and even bring on war with Japan,
but in the end Mexico would be

is that the Mexicans, in the course

there are too many careful people
