A cR1rrENDzN HOME CEASED.

The Florence Crittenden Rescue mis-
sion of Butte. Mont has been closed.
The purpose of the home was to res
cue Maynard girls and women from
lives of shame and evil, and to give
them a chance for a new start in life
There could be no nobler. wortilier aim
than this. and those who attempt 1t are
friends of their race.
The Butte Miner says that according
to DR.. H. a. Hampton, the last in
charge, the home was the greater part
of it's existence used as a sort of dry
dock or repair shop for women who had
long since passed the age of girlhood
and redemption, and who looked upon
the institution as a convenient place to
repent in and prepare for another siege
that would give them the opportunity
to repent again Very few OF the in
mates, he declares. came from the class
for whose benefit the mission was in
tended. In other words, mismanage-
ment was the cause of the closing.
This clearly shows that the home was
not managed as it should have been.
that it was used in q way entirely diff
ferent from What its founders intended.
AT any rate it is to be hoped that the
home will not be permanently closed.
It may be doubted if it is a wise
thing to erect these homes in any but
large cities or remote from towns and
cities, for in comparatively small places
the inmates are a marked class and
they find it impossible to lose their
identity, they being known to most of
the inhabitants by sight Then a res
cue mission i'm small place becomes
prominent, a very undesirable thing
where reformation of any one is
sought; those who are inmates of them
would be more liable to reform if they
were strange to the place where the
home is located. But the reclamation
of fallen women and girls is a treneu-
dous problem and its solution, if there
be one. has not been found. All at
tempts ct it should be encouraged.

SILVER IN MUNIcIPA1 POLITICS

In their municipal platform the Re
publicans of New York City called at
tention to fact that is Of supreme I'M
portance to ali friends Of silver every
where. That platform declares:
There is one great issue before the
people at this time It cannot be
separated from any political contest.
1t is an issue created BY the Chicago
platform and nothing can he more
obvious than that the results OF every
election, national, state or municipal.
until that platform has been formally
abandoned by the party that made it,
must count for or against its odious
and destructive principles.
If there is q great issue before the
people in New York there is also one
before the people of Salt Lake City
that issue is the silver question Last
November the people of Utah presented
q magnificent front to the enemies of
silver, and this VAS done under the
banner of Democracy. And yet the
people Of Utah are told today that cur

THE SALT LAKE HERALD: THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER

municipal affairs have nothing to do
with national politics. It may be that
national politics is not always directly
concerned in municipal affairs, but
party organization is. and it was the
Democratic organization that achieved
the magnificent victory for silver in
this state last fall. Every one knows
that the Republican party is against
free silver and that the Democratic
party is in favor of it. The Democrats
of Salt Lake City have reaff1rmed their
allegiance to the principles of the free
and Independent coinage of silver. and
while some viii say there is no neces-
sity for this still there is a great neceg-
SHY for it, for the silver sentiment
must be kept alive and the declara-
tons of the Chicago platform on this
question should be reaffirmed wherever
Democrats and the friends of silver
come together in convention. Then
there could be no question as to the
standing on the silver question of any
candidate seeking election to Office.
It may be said that the silver ques-
ton has no proper place in a municipal
campaign, but as the Republicans of
New York say in their platform, 1T
cannot be separated from any political
contest" Does any one think for
moment that our Endorsement of free
silver could have been had from the
non-partisan committee? If any such
there be all he has to DO is to study the
composition Of the committee.
If for no other reason than that the
silver issue should be kept constantly
before the people. it is essential that
party lines should be kept up in our
municipal elections. Then, again, if
party lines are good for county and
state affairs why are they not good
for city affairs? -partisanship is
an attempt to break them down in city
affairs, and if successful why would
not an attempt be made to break them
down elsewhere?

THE POLICE AND STOLEN
PROPERTY.

In attempting to reply to an article
in The Herald of Tuesday in favor Of
retrenchment in municipal affairs, the
Tribune says:
1t declares The city councils bogus
retrenchment schedule legitimate and
proper, including the item for stoppase
Of street lights and other public serv-
ice; ignoring cur point that if such as
that is legitimate saving, then it can
easily be increased by stopping the
service altogether. The argument is
also made that the police force hasn't
been crippled. as proof of which it
says large percentage of stolen
money and effects has been recovered.
A deceptive showing. since the fashion
is to account nominally for all that
can be found and deny the thefts when
recovery can't be had; the truth being
that this city has little if any more
than half the standard ratio of police
force, which is one policeman TO the
thousand of population; and the condi-
ton Of that small force has been
utterly demoralized by the action of
the mayor. city attorney and commits
sion, so much so that ministers of the
city and the municipal league have
united in crying out against the shame
full laXity in the enforcement of the
laws.
The argument we used about the
police force is a good and valid one.
The Tribune says that it is the
fashion of the police department to
account nosninalIy for all stolen prop
erty that can be found and deny thefts
when recovery can't be had We don't
believe that. We believe that when
;nF L., l.,
what percentage of stolen property had
been recovered that he told the truth
and that he made no attempt to deny
thefts when recovery could not be had.
We also believe the same Of Chief Paul.
No matter what the ratio OF police
men to population in this city may be.
it has been well policed. That the
force has been somewhat demoraIized
by the police and fire commission is
true, but The Herald has never be-
lieved in a commission and has criti-
cized it many times. It Will so with
the advent of q new administration,
thanks to the Democratic Legislature.
And that will be a sreat saving to the
people of Salt Lake City, and the saw
ing is to be credited to the Democrats.
But what on earth have the misao-
ings and short cGqnings of the police
and fire commission got TO do with the
size and efficiency Of the police force?
If the force had been larger would not
the commissions misdoings and short
comings have been greater? And were
not the evils complained of by the
Municipal league and the ministers
things the result of the commissions
policy" and not of the police forces
size? Had the force been ten times as
big as it is would not the league and
the ministers have had the same cause
for complaint?
We have no defense or apologies to
make for the mayor, the police and fire
commission or the city council, but
where there have been economies and
savings we are glad TO commend them
and only wish there were more to COM

A coMMENDABLE SUICIDE.

No matter how severely. and properly
SO. the action of the Mexican Inspector
general of police in numbering the as
sailent of President Dlaz may be con-
deuned, it must be admitted that his
own death by suicide did much to re-
fave him Of the Stigma which must
rest upon his name. 1t shows that ne
had a fine sense of the duties Of his
Office after all, that he was filled with
regret and modification, aru1 did all
he coalld to expiate his crime. The
man showed that he had something of
the nature of Jayert in him
The San Francisco Chronicle COM
ments on the case in these terms:
The suicide of the Inspector general
of the Mexican police while under ar
rest for the killing of the man who as
saulted President Diaz supplies an
other wholesome commentary on the
course of Mexican justice. In this coun-
try a sheriff or police officer in jail for
such an offense would be suspected of
softening of the brain if he so much as
threaten to take his OWN lite for fear
of the Judgment of the courts. He
would send for a lawyer ard then settle
down with easy COmplacency to await
results. Ten chances to one-yes, a
hundred tC one-his jury would dis
agree and he would finally go free to
enjoy his notoriety. But in Mexico they
order these things differently. 1t was
perfectly clear to the Inspector general
OF police that the end OF his rope had
moose IN it, and rather than hang. he
shot himself. He preferred his choice
of death to accepting the choice of a
court. No one knew better than he that
his position, his otherwise h2nora5le
record, his friendship for President
Diaz and the semi-patriotic glamor of
his crime could not save him from the
gallows once the murder had been
proved. Contrast This fact With the
enc that there were 10000 and more
murders and honicides in the United
States in 1896, and only 1872 legal execu-
lions, and the assumption that this
country has something CT civilization TO
learn of Mexico will need no further
evidence
