A Dynamite Explosion.

Arthur Swenson, the seven year old
son of J. J. Swenson of White6eld,
was the victim of a dynamite explo-
sion last Thursday, the effect OF which
he will always remember with. regret
and which will MAIN him for life. The
little fellow had in some way pro-
cured some dynamite, which was used
on the farm for blasting rock, and had
held piece of it in his hand and ap-
piled match to it. The result was
that all the fingers on his left hand
with the exception of the little finger
were blown of and his face was badly
lacerated. Other parts on his body
were also injured in the explosion.
The sufferer was at once taken into
Willmar and DR.. Frost summoned,
who dressed the wounds. Fhe little
fellow is at the home of his uncle, N.
L. Winblad, where he is receiving the
best of care. .*

A barn belonging to Sivert Berg,
living four miles southeast OF Hanley
Falls, caught fire last week, Thursday,
and together with the contents of 100
tons of hay, 1900 bushels of grain and
10 head of horses were consumed.
The barn burned for three days and
on removing the debris human bones
were discovered in the ruins. After
thorough search four bodies were
unearthed but they were almost en-
tirely cremated and Identification was
impossible. The men were no doubt
tramps and had crept into the hay loft
for sleep when through some mystery,
never to be known, fire ignited the hay
and all were consumed by the flames.

you've got. Possibly your last cold
has not entirely left you, and you
should see to it that you use Moss

fy your lungs against the chilling

that's not a cold you've got, but at

THE PUBLIC BUILDING.

Already Representative King has ap-
peared before the house committee on
appropriations to urge an appropriation
of $5o0,0OO for a public building for Salt
Lake City, but the matter will not be
formally taken up until after the holt
days. Representative King did well to
take up the matter so early, as it will
give the matter precedence over many
other things that will be certain to
come before the committee at very
early day.
But what are the chances for favor
able action after the holidays? 1t can
not be said that they are first class.
Utah is not in favor with the powers
that be at Washington because of her
electoral vote of last year, which was
against the administration. That fact
alone would cause any proposition for
an appropriation for this state to be
received with anything but enthusiasm
Then there is this important fact that
will likely initiate against an appro-
priation for a public building for this
city-and that is that the president in
his message asks congress not to in
crease expenses if it cannot reduce
them. If the committee on appropria-
tons is so minded, here is a splendid
reason for not giving Salt Lake City a
public building. This reason would ap-
pear so plausible and would be so hard
to answer. no matter how insincerely
it might be urged.
1t may be that the committee will
look with favor upon the proposition
to give half million for the erection
of a public building in this city; and it
certainly is to be hoped that it will. At
all events. it is certain that the Utah
delegation will 90 all in its power to
secure it.

OREGON AGAINST CALIFORNIA

The protest of the Oregon bench and
bar against the appointment of Attor-
ney-General McKenna as ex-Associate
Justice Fields successor, is attracting
a good deal of attention. The New
York Commercial Advertiser, stanch
Republican paper. commenting on the
protest. saws:
The objection to Judge McKenna does
not rest upon his religion or his char
acter or his relation to corporations or
anything to his moral discredit or social
disadvantage. He is a very worthy
person, but a very ordinary LAWYER,
and the supreme court is a place for
great lawyers. This is well understood
on the Pacific coast, and the bar of the
whole country understands it better
since March 4. Californians are clan
nish, and sense Of local loyalty keeps
them silent The bench and bar of Ore
gon, which are of sound quality, more in
touch with the rest of the country and
less harnpered by provincial sentiment,
have spoken out under strong sense of
duty and responsibility. This ought to
be needed A cabinet appointment is
for four years only; q supreme court
appointment is for life The president
chose Judge Mckeuna for one place,
and now chooses him for the other, be-
cause he likes the man. Doubtless the
man is likeable, but the lawyer is not

American foreign policy, and whatever
party may be in power at Washington
will maintain it as such; there need
never be any doubt as to that There
are many governments on this hemi-
sphere, and In the very nature Of things
they will at times have disagreements
with European governments. 1t is not
the province Of the United States to
champion their quarrels, though some
of them viii undoubtedly try to have
this country do 50 by falsely invoking
the Monroe doctrine. There are many
people in QUE own country who see in
every dispute between any of the
American governments and any of
those OF Europe, a menace to the Mon
roe doctrine; what it is that causes
them to see this menace, their fears or
something else, it is hard to say. In
disputes between governments, as well
as between individuals, there are two
sides to the story. It is not to be pre-
sumed that the governments on this
hemisphere are always right and that
they have their quarrel just; those are
1iictItOlS " DG dClSIIIIiilCo elS(OAA1 ~
the facts in the case.
There is another important thing that
must always be borne in mind when
the Monroe doctrine is to be invoked,
which is that being a doctrine that had
it's birth and development in the United
States, and having been promulgated
by this government, it is the peculiar
province OF this government to say
when it is being infringed, and if it
does not declare there an infringement
or threatened infringement of it, it
should be accepted by all who are in
terested in its maintenance that there
is none To cry out that the Monroe
doctrine is threatened with infringe
ment every time a petty dispute arises
is to make it ridiculous. If it ever shall
be actually infringed the consequences
will be so grave that all the world will
know it, and something other than the
cry of the alar1nist will herald the
fact.

SALVATION ARMY COLONIES.

The experiment to be undertaken by
the Salvation Army of establishing
colonies will be watched with much in
terest. The army has succeeded in
getting closer to what are usually
termed the submerged classes than any
other denomination or association. The
secret of the army's success (and it
has had a very good success) seems to
be the result of direct personal SYM
pathy. Thus far its efforts have been
confined to the larger cities; the propo-
sition to establish colonies is an en-
tirely new departure. 1t is altogether
likely that it will be successful because
those in charge will carry into the
enterprise the same zeal and ardor
that have marked their efforts in other
directions. The social democracy
scheme of Debs was a chimerical af-
fair. He had never shown any capacity
for what may be termed constructive
work, though his capacity for organ
ization for agitation cannot be denied;
agitation is one thing, but building up
is quite another. An inherent defect
IN IlG D0DS pan was llIaI II W 90
founded on discomfort, and was in the
nature of a protest against society as
constituted. This is largely the case
with all new social movements, but
where it is the main idea it means the
encouragement of antagonism to the
detriment of the essentials of success;
the zeal exhausted in antagonism
leaves little or none for anything else.
The Salvation Army plan is not a
protest against society as organized.
It's purpose is to save and make sue
cessful a class that has failed; in it
there is no room for antagonism to
society as it is. The army finds that
society has not successfully solved
some problems, and it's proposed colo
MES are an attempt to solve them. It's
plan may not meet its expectations,
but it promises some success; in any
event it should be given every encour-
agement.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1897-12-09

admirable. Men responsible for filling
high public place should not indulge
their personal lkings to excess.
William e. Curtis, the Washington
correspondent of the Chicago Record,
says that if the protest had been pre-
sented to the president in quiet, dig
nified way, with evidence to sustain it,
he would have been compelled to have
given it careful attention, but being
blazoned out in the papers, even before
it was mailed to him, gives it all the
symptoms of a malicious attempt to
defame Judge NIcKenna, and the presl-
dent is consequently very indignant at
an attack made in such a man
ner upon a member of his oficlal
family. And what is most shocking, In
the opinion of to members OF the
bench and the bar in Washington, he
says, is that Judge Gilbert of the United
States circuit court and Judge Bel
linger of the district court should be
guilty Of such undignified and unju-
dicial conduct as to utter a protest
against the leading law officer OF the
government in a. public manner, and
furnish the newspapers copy of their
communication to the president before
it was even mailed to him. The at
tack has injured the persons who signed
it more than the man at whom it was
directed.
1t is very evident that there will be
considerable "scrapping" over the pro-
test and the appointment, if Judge NC
Kenna's name is sent to the senate
Some of the protestants may go to
Washington to present the very evil
dence that now seems lacking. The
protest astonished most people. Wheth-
or there is any ground for it we do not
know: that there is some jealousy in
the case is not improbable.

HAYTI, GERMANY AND THE
MONROE DOCTRINE.

The differences between Germany
and Hayti over the Lueders incident
have been composed, the latter coun-
try complying with the formers de-
mands. This is a happy termination
of an affair that has been prominent
for several weeks past. The stories told
by the Haytien authorities and by the
German representative of Herr Lue-
ders' arrest have differed so materially
and radically that it hiss been impossi-
BILE to form any definite opinion as to
the real merits Of the case, with the
result that people have had to be
guided by their sympathies, not always
a safe guide
The incident caused much to be said
about the Monroe doctrine, but Ger
many never had any intention for a
single moment of annexing the island
though some of the Haytiens appeared
to think she had and even some people
in this country entertained the same
idea. The Monroe doctrine is firmly es-
tablished as fundamental principle Of

'One of our prominent sheep men
seems to take a pessimistic view of the
sheep industry in Utah." says the Lehi
Banner. ''He says that in five years
there will be less sheep in Utah than
any western state. Sheep are being
sent out of the state in large numbers
now. Many are shipped to eastern
markets and many flock masters are
moving their herds from the state be-
cause of the adverse laws in force here.
This has been an important industry in
this state, and to kill it means bad
blow to our industrial progress"
He must be very pessimistic, indeed.
There are no laws il Utah that are ad-
verse to the sheep industry. In five
years there will be just as many sheep
in the state as in any other state.

should take something for his liver.
