When he was first talked of as a candidate for the United States senatorship people treated it as a good joke. When he was elected to the exalted position many of that aggregation, called the public, held up their hands in astonishment and others in the most bitter terms possible denounced the selection as an outrage. A few, a very few, declared that Kearns would make a better representative for Utah than most people expected. The recognition of Utah in the Federal appointments outside of the state which have fallen to Utah men, it is believed, principally through Senator Kearns, and his course in the Senate generally,-ha-s produced quite a of in sentiment his favor among change those who were his most trenchent critics.

Cemetaries should not be located, on heights surrounding a city. To the dead it does not matter but for the liv' ing it is a serious thing. The percolations from cemetries to ground on lower levels, which areinhabitated is a menace to the health of the inhabitants. The percolations from the city cemetery are perceptible all the way down to Third and Fourth South streets and wells have .been so polluted even further South to such an extent as to make the water from them unfit for drinking or culinary purposes The southeastern part of the city is also for long distances saturated with percolation from Mount Olivet cemetery. The objectionableness will increase with thet continued use of the cemeteries and the earth will become more and more impregnated with offensive and disease producing matter. This in time will attain such proportions that the burying places on the hills will have to be abandoned after nobody knows how many deaths they will have caused. Cremation is probably the only truly sanitary way of disposing of the dead, but the world is not yet educated up to the point where cremation can be adopted. The old way of burying the dead will obtain for many years to come, but precautions should be taken to reduce to a minimum the evils resulting therefrom. There is no reason why the dead should be made a menace to the living as they surely become when interredin the high ground above cities.. A cemetery might be made in the north west suburds of Salt Lake where the fall is in an opposite direction to the city and where percolation would be comparatively harmless. Instead of making the Fort Douglas heights a necropolis, that beautiful suburb should be used for dwelling places for the living. The city council should memorialize congress 1o cede to the city as much of the reservation as the government cannot use and does not require. The city should then plat it out for residences and sell it at very reasonable figures to individuals for homes. This would be a boon to people of moderate means and the great mass of the people have only moderate means. Care should be taken to prevent speculations and syndicates from getting hold of the ground and the people should be given the full benefit of it. It is a most desirable locality for residences and the reservation could not be put to a better use. The suggestion is offered and something may come of it.
