THE STREETS AND THE POLL TAX.

A valued friend writing IN approval
of our opposition to the poll tax and
also Of our criticism of the tardiness
of the street work. states that tho poll
tax last wear was $4,000, and he asks
''what did they do with it''' His
idea is that if this tax had been kept
for winter work fifty or sixty teams
and hundred men could havo been
kept at work all winter, paying teams
| by the load and the men fair wages.
Thus the public would get value re-
ccived,
He suggests that by graveling the
streets west of the railroads, good road.
ways could be made by putting plenty
OF gravel on, aud having the men rake
the boulders To the bottom and he
very truly says that "ploughing up the
streets in summer only makes them
good for mud in winter. 1t. is neces-
sary, of course, to have D. man who
understands the work, for ga man
may he a good bricklayer but poor
man on Streets Worllmen should be
prompt; "getting to Office at ten will
not do And our friend states that
when he was connected with railroads
in the East he was always the first
man on duty, and when there was .
| big storm he showed up at five a. III.
because he was obliged TO have the
big yards clean so switching could be
done.
Criticising the apathy of the street
force, our friend writes: ~ notice
the men ploughing snow off the side
walks do not get around early, some.
times not until noon. He said to one
of them, ''You ought to have been at
this work at five O'Clock this morning,
before the snow gets tramped," and
his conclusion is that "they spend hun
dreds of thousands of dollars on the
streets and get nothing to show for
it."
This is an evident and notorious fact.
The work is not done to advantage,
and so far as any show for the money
spent is concerned, it is. impossible to
find it.
We trust that since the public is
taking notice Of the tardiuess dis.
played, the apathy with which the work
is treated, and the small result that
appears from the expenditure of such
money, the Street Department may
brace up, and get in line to better sat
isfy the public needs and the public

THE COURTS AND CASTRO.

The case Of Castro, who, ia fact,
is admitted to this country, although
by a legal fiction is still resting un-
der exclusion, is a most interesting one.
The mmigration officials in New York
declared Castro to be Objectionable and
refused to admit bin. Secretary Ma
gel supported the Judgment of the i'm
migration officials, and held that when
Castro refused to answer as to GER
tain questions asked him, that refusal
was 10 be construed as an admission OF
guilt. Then the case was taken TO the
q. s. District Court, Judge George c..
Holt presiding, The government, very
curiously, asked through the district
attorney for heavy bail in the babeas
prevent Castro fleeing the country, and
this when, according to the govern
ment's theory, that is exactly what our
officials wanted him to do On this
contention Judge Holt serenely re-
marked that Gin that event the gov
purpose, so that the reason for bail
in large amount was not manifest.
4 preliminary hearing was had be-
fore Judge Henry C. Ward of the q. S.
Circuit Court, who ruled precisely con-
trary to the contention Of Secretary
Nagel, saying that the burden of proof
in any point of the Castro case is upon
the Government, In substance Judge
Ward eaid, "You cannot exclude Cas-
tro unless you prove that he has been
convicted in Venezuela of the murder
of Parades or that he has admitted
completely in that murder. Judge
Ward holds to the good old legal rule
that one who is accused does not need
either to admit or deny, and that ii
| he stands mute his accuser must prove
tho offense Judge Ward says further:
Everything said about the aliens fire.
quent perjury and pretended Ignorance
| OF things ne must have known, and about
| his refusal TO answer questions relating
| to the death of General Paredes in the
| first finding, and about the telegrams and
| diplomatic correspondence in the second
| Is Irrelevant.
And q. more general conclusion OF
Judge Ward Is that "the immigration
|
law In their construction OF the statute
and so have exceeded their iurlsdic-
| tion." So he must be admitted
1t is clear case that Castro has
never been convicted Of any murder
and that the assumption that he was
guilty Of murder in the case of Para
des cannot implicate him or be used
as reason for his exclusion from this
country, merely because he neither ad.
mits nor denies his completely in it.
In the meantime Castro appears To
be having a pretty good time. He was
taken to lunch at Albany by Gov,
ernor Sulzer Of New York, which is a
clear indication that in Governor Sui
zcr s opinion there is no case against
] Castro that would justify his exclu.

SMOoT GLEE AT DELAY.

We note that the Federal bunch or
gan, the mouthpiccc of Smoot, is IN high
glee on account Of the present failure
of Treasurer Jewkes' g arrangement for
the payment TO the State of interest on
State funds 'fbY the banks that arc 80
fortunate ns to have them on deposit.
The organ charges inefficient business
methods, and seems to be highly pleased
at the fact that the bill which was in
troduccd at the present session of the
Legislature 10 require the payment OF
interest on State money has been ap-
parcntly abandoned.
This glee is entirely misplaced. The
subject treated of is a very important
matter, and the people will not suffer
themselves OF be trined with in regard
TO it, The example of Salt Lake City
has shown conclusively that 1T is en-
tirely practicable to get interest on pub
lie money deposits, at an agreed rate, on
the daily balances No constitutional
amendment was necessary to get this, no
legislation was necessary. Undoubtedly
the State Treasurer could arrange fully
as advantageous terms for the daily bal
ances on State deposits as the City
Treasurer Of Salt Lake arranged for
daily balances on the city deposits,
If Treasurer Jewkes should adopt the
same methods that City Treasurer
Godbe of Salt Lake City adopted, he
could undoubtedly get as good results
as the City Treasurer has obtained,
| perhaps better. All that he needs to do
! is to call on the different banks OF the
State for bids on deposits Of State
money. The whole matter is undoubt.

Europe on the Kronprinzessin Cecilie. OF
the North German Lloyd Line yesterday.
Their destination, they declared. was
Egypt, whore they will explore the Nile
in easy stages. They intend to return in
the spring, after visiting in Berlin.
The names Of the bridal couple did not
appear on the printed passenger list. but
their passage had been arranged some
days ago, and the fact that they were to
sail was well known among their friends,
as attested by the flowers that filled their
stateroom and the army OF messenger
boys who bore kilograms to the North Ger
man Lloyd pier before the ship sailed.
The Shepards arrived at the pier in their
automobile. and shortly afterward We're

afternoon, when Nine. Clara Butt again

OF distinctly less Importance.
At the same hour occurred David Sapr-

which, if of less sensational order. was
artsticaly really Of more importance.
Mr.. Saprstein played Beethoven's Sonata

ing Of the Sonata was uneven, being, de-
spite a little heaviness of style, good in
the first movement and far less satisfac-
tory in the last. His Interpretation If the
Chopin ballads was lacking in the
rhythm essential to them. especially in
the one in + minor However. his tone
was usually good and his playing called
