Speaking a Good Word for Slams

Let not the man who has occasion to
use q bit Of slang be too much abashed
when his evil7zxing is cast up at him
for here is an acknowledged master OF
good English-namely, Professor Thos.
r. Lounsbury, of Yale-quoted by Mr..
Matthews in Harper's as privately
writing to him that slang is an effort
on the part Of the users Of language to
say something more wildly, strongly,
concisely than the language, as exist
ing, permits to be said" and he adds
that slang Is therefore the source
from which the decaying energies Of
speech arc constantly refreshed."-

AS~A
THE main building of the State Uni
versity at Vermillion has burned, Ell
failing a loss of 800, 900 or more, with
out insurance.
The fire was discovered in the base
ment. The whole city rushed to the
place, but the flames had gained too
much strength to be overcome. The
building had only a month since been
provided with complete fire appliances
on each floor. but the halls were SO
filled with smoke that they could not
be reached.
The magnitude Of risk to property
seemed to bewilder every one. Any
organized effort was made with diff
Guilty. Nevertheless. the playing of
water upon the fire was left to the fire
men. and the students. professors. aud
citizens worked like heroes to saw the
contents of the building. The stcre-
tary's records We're all saved. and also
those Of the president. The mineral
cabinets We're all saved and even the
glass cases in which they were stored
were taken out unbroken. The general
apparatus room was well emptied and
the more valuable books of the library
saved.
A student named Wallace from Elk
Point received injuries jumping from
a window. The library was in the last
wing on the second floor. Ernest Fisher
was struck upon the temple and Shout
der by rocks and severely hurt. 9th
ers were slightly injured.
The university battalion armory was
emptied with nc loss to the Govern
ment. Nothing was saved in the mu
scum, where there were many valuable
specimens which cannot be replaced.
The origin of the fire is not known,
but is supposed to have started in the
coal in the basement. The building
was three stories. lO5x7o feet, tive
wings, each 46x62 feet. two stories,
finely finished in hard wood.
Very few students will leave.

In Harper's Susan Fenimore Cooper
sings q gentle difge over the departure
OF the birds from our forests and
hedgerows. Selecting the typical re-
gion in the northern A~lleghanies, she
shows how the birds have gradually
become silent, first the great white pei
lean I'm the mountain lake, then the
beautiful white swan. and finally even
the myriads OF wild pigeons. This last
bird il one of the most curious exam
pies Of the sudden destructive blows to
whole species that mans presence can
give. Seemingly enc of the most nu-
merous and prolific OF birds fiocks es-
timated to be 24O miles long have been
seen in this eentury-it is now practi-
caily q thing OF the past.
And az for the songsters. and the
smaller feathered tribe:
"The friendly red-hreasted robins,
the beautiful bluebirds, the gay mu-
steal goldtinches, those charming song
birds the wrens, the gorgeous orioles,
the purple finches, the dainty green
let's. the pretty cedar-birds, the merry
gold crests, and their cousins the ruby
crowns, those dainty sprites the hum
ming-birds-these and other bird fami-
lies lever failed In past years to bring
joy with them to our lawns and mead
0ws. Many Of them are now rare Wis
itors. The sturdy robins are much
less numerous than they rel for
merlv."

Leave the Tariff Alone.

The wage-earners Of the United
States, who now have considerable idle
time on their hands. are the ones to
feel the immediate effects OF any check
to our American industries. They
form The bone and sinew of our popula-
tion and arc the largest class. Ono of
them recently informed the Chicago
Tribune that since Cleveland was
elected on a platform that promised
meddling with the Tariff to an extent
no one could guess, a chill ran through
the entire iron trade, railroads began
I, decrea 70 their orders for rails, and
have since ceased to give any orders.
They are holding back In expectation
Of being able to buy rails in Europe
cheaper than American mills can make
them with their much higher rate of
wages. Surely it is time for rage
earners, no matter in what industry
they may be engaged, to urge the Con-
gressmen of their districts to notify
the Ways and Means Committee that
the Tariff must be left strictly and se-
verely alone. In no other way will our
former prosperity return to us. and no
other remedy for existing depression
is open but to leave the Tariff alone.

The first necessity to insure the early
return of prosperity is that the army
OF idle wage earner shall be put back
to work. More than q million are with
out employment ut the present time.
The only lack of capital concerning
their idleness comes from the lack OF
demand for the products Of their mus
Gle and skill. There is plenty of money
atloat in the country for the purchase
Of all the common necessities and com-
forts OF life, but there can be no return
to the customary dc mand from the con-

PICKLE WORKS WAR.
contempt Proceedings Against the
! Sheriff and Two Attorneys.
and Mcqueen Must Appear-An Inn
portant Law Point.

Third District court proceedings have
been unusually tame this week, but an
extra attraction is billed for this morning,
which viii occasion more than ordinary
interest.
An order was served yesterday on Il. e.
Booth, W. B. Booth, Sheriff Mcqueen
land Deputy Sheriff O'Brien, to show
cause, at 10 O'Clock this morning, why
they should not be punished for contempt
OF court for the manner in which they
seized property belonging to the Salt Lake
Pickle company several days ago.
On February 18th, w. a. Chapman be-
gan suit against the Salt Lake Pickle COM
pany torecover s., 0e0 on promis5ory notes,
A writ OF attachment was issued, and sew
eral days later Booth, Lee & Gray filed
similar suits for the Illinois Glass COM
pany and other plaintiffs, for 1919.
In the meantime Marshall Benton had
taken charge of the company S works at
Garden City, but few days later dep
uty sheriff, acting for Booth, Lee d
Gray's clients, went to Garden City and
gained possession OF the works by strata
gem, as related by THE HERALD at the
time, by virtue of writ of attachment
which had been placed in the hands OF the
sheriff
Marshal Benton then complained to the
court, and the order to show cause was
issued.
1t is stated that the marshal will show
, 60 the court that he levied upon the prop
erty and placed a man in charge; that
thereafter a deputy sheriff visited the
premises at night and by stratagem and
intrigue prevailed upon the deputy mar
shall TO step outside of the building. As
soon as the officer in charge did so the
deputy sheriff stepped IN and assumed
control.
The sheriff's side Of the case will be to
the effect that his representative went to
the premises and found no one there with
the exception of former employee of the
pickle company, and that the property
was then levied upon without any v1o-
lence, strategy or similar means.
Marshal Benton will be represented by
Bennett, Marshal IL Bradley, and LOOT
borrow q Kahn and Powers & Hiles viii
appear as counsel for the defendants.
If a very interesting time does not ensue
a number of people will conclude that
= guessing is not their fort.

AN IMPORTANT POINT.
The Notification of an Amended Com

The Notification of an Amended Com
plant Objected To.
An important legal point, which will
go to the supreme court of the territory.
was raised before Judge Zane yesterday
morning in the case of Joseph Ruffatti
VS.. G. Lavignano ct al. Marshal & Royle
came into court and moved that the veri
fication of an amended complaint be
stricken out.
1t appears that the original complaint
was not verified and when the plaintiff
obtained leave Of the court to amend his
complaint he made the amendment and
then added a verification. The defend
ants held that as the original complaint
had not been verified, and that no leave
had been given TO verify, the veriication
found no part of the amended complaint
and hence should be stricken out as being
improper.
The supreme court of New York clearly
holds in case somewhat similar that
complaint not verified cannot be amended
by adding verification and the decisions
of the California supreme court are in
harmony with that decision.
Judge Zane, however, cid not agree
with the decisions cited and overruled the
motion.
The defendants objection arises from
the fact that verifcation will compel
them to file specific instead of a general
answer

With the best results, Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, family medicine, comprehensive
IN its scope, has never been thrust upon
public attention in the guise of a uni
versal panacea for bodily ills. This
claim, daily arrogated in the columns OF

thousand instances disguised the public

But the American people know, because
they have verified the fact by the most
trying tests, that the Bitters possesses
the virtues of a real specific in cases OF

trouble. What it does it does thoroughly,
and mainly for this reason it is Endorsed
