SUNDAY SALOONS.

It HE PITIFUL PRETENSE which is
being made by the police at en-
forcing the law against the Sunday sa-
Icon is worse. than no action whatever.
II has been demonstrated beyond the
peradventure Of a doubt that it is pos
sible to keep practically every saloon in
Salt Lake closed on the first day of
the week. For several weeks before
the election, and for a few months after
it, the police were most diligent in pre-
venting the sale Of intoxicants. Re
Gently they have grown weary Of their
Job
The strained relations between the
mayor and the chief Of police are urged
as a reason for the laxness. The ex-
cuse IS far from valid. Mayor Thomp-
son and Chief Hilton may not be on
speaking terms. but that should not
prevent the enforcement of the laws.
City Justice Diehl may require that
cases be proven beyond even a techni-
cal doubt. but other cases have been
proven to his satisfaction, and more
can be proven if due diligence is used
b. the officers.
Even if. for the sake Of the argu-
ment, it be admitted that the statute
against Sunday liquor selling is a bad
statute, it is on the books, and. until
f. is repealed, no mayor and no chief
Of police has the right to say'it shall
or shall not be obeyed. Everybody who
is so much as half awake to the situa-
ton knows that a considerable propor-'
ton Of the saloons of Salt Lake trans
acted business last Sunday. 1t was
almost as easy to get a drink on that
day as on the preceding day. By whose
authority has this come about?
If there is "a degree of guilt as be-
tween Mayor Thompson and Chief Hill
ten. the latter would seem to be more
guilty. The statutes prohibit the crime
oe robbery, but surely Chief Hilton
would not wait until the mayor ordered
him to enforce that law if he saw a
highwayman in the act of holding up
a citizen. If Chief Hilton does not
know that a great deal Of liquor was
sold unlawf0lly last Sunday, he knows
less than the average Salt Laker. He
must not force certain men to close
their places, and allow others to re-
main open.
The law does not differentiate be-
tween persons and parsonage Neither
should the chief of police.

MARRIED DOCTORS AND SINGLE.

DR. BOsLER, health commissioner Of
~ Baltimore, made a little address to
his staff a few days ago, in which he
told every single man to go straight
way and get him a wife. If there is
any service in the world" said Dr.
Bosler. that requires conscientious
men, men free from frivolity. it is the
public health department. II 8 man

mean. he gives mp his bachelor habits
to great extent Ny experience is
that married physician is better
adapted to his work. because marriage
tends to steady his habits, increase his
ambition to effect better results and
makes him more seIf-reliant."
The Baltimore man might have added
that the public. as a rule. has more
confidence in a doctor who is married
tEan in one who is not. or course ex-
ceptions may be found It doesn't nee
essarily follow that because a physician
IS unmarried he doesn't possess the
qualifications for the practice of medi-
cine. Neither is It necessarily true that
marriage will make good doctor out
o. a poor one. But 1t is true that the
most successful physicians in the world
are those who are married and the
heads Of families.

A NEW WRITER.
Denver Newspaper Mans Book on
Ancient Babylon.

~@N+e w.
(Leslie's Magazine For May)
Novels of Babylonian life are not
rare, but hitherto no writer of fiction
has ventured beyond the shallow depths
Of the classical legends which formerly
were taught as "Assyrian history"
This argues a lack of enterprise or
originality in the novelists, as the fund
of material that has been gathered
since Botta struck the first pick into
the ruins Of SargOn's palace in 1872 is
ample and varied enough for either
history or romance.
A new writer. Josiah NJ. Ward, is TO
strike out into deeper water, and take
his readers back to the times of Nebu-
chadnezzar and the last days of Nine
web. The title of his book, Come
With Me Into Babylon" is a pleasant
promise which challenges attention.
One expects something more than a
glimpse into the lives of the Babyloni-
ans. whose name has come to be a
synonym Of luxury and wantonness.
Those were heroic days really, when
the greatest nations of that remote an
tiquity, the Babyl0niaus, Modes. Lydi-
ans and Egyptians met over the car
cass of Assyria and engaged in that
fierce struggle for the mastery of the
world.

I T HAS been freely stated by the au-
thorlties at Washington and by
their supporters elsewhere that if Cen
eral Smith aid give the order to make
Samar a bowling wilderness, if he did
instruct Major Waller to take no pris-
oners. TO kill everything over TO-" he
did so entirely on his own responsible
ity. Later. when General Smiths
counsel admitted the charge. it was
still insisted that no one higher in
authority than Smith knew anything
about IT, a writer in Golfers Weekly,
stephen Bonsal, who claims TO have
the evidence of his own investigations
behind him. says there is no founda-
ton for the Administrations claim.
He writes: when the facts are
known it viii be clear as day that Cen
eral Smith and Major Waller were sent
to the island 10 carry on a campaign
the nature of which had been fully de-
eided and partly put in execution. Be
fore either Of these officers reached
samar, Balangigs. Kitapunden and
dozen other barrios Of southern samar
had been destroyed. There was not a
stick or a stone Of them left standing.
The fish corrals on which the natives
Of this district subsist had been de-
stroyed, as well as the rice patches
And, so far as I know. the punitive
expeditions that laid waste the coun-
try while Waller was yet in Cavite and
Smith in Pangasinan did not take any
prisoners"
Il should be very easy to prove or
disprove the charges made by Mr.. Bon
sal, II they are true. then the court
martial which is now celebrating over
the evidence presented for and against
Smith has more work cut out for It.
Apparently an effort Is being made to
shield the officers who are really
guilty. If Smith acted in pursuance of
a plan formulated by his superiors. he
is no more guilty of misconduct than
was Waller, who has been acquitted.
The government must sift the whole
matter 10 the bottom.
The scandals in connection with the
army transport service were pad
enough. but they are nothing in COM
parison with this. No commander
should be too high in public esteem or
too secure in the favor Of the powers
at Washington 10 escape his just re-
sponsibility. Naturally. there viii be

sosToN's HOUR OF WOE.

NOT SINCE the great fire which
- swept it in November. 1872, has the
cultured city Of Boston been visited by
a calamity so cruel and so overwhelm-
ing as that from which It is now suf-
fering. With a stoicism that must
arouse the admiration Of the civilized
world, Boston IS bearing up bravely.
Her mayor and council have issued no
appeal for help from the charitably in
clined for they feel that they must
work out their own salvation. Indeed.
the outside world has heard but little
Of the great disaster. That it is great
no one who hears Of It will dispute.
The price Of beans has gone up. Isn't

1.-TWO Little Waits" Lincoln J. Car
ter's latest, opened at the Grand the
atre last night TO a big house. The
show is Of the melodramatic order, and
Carteresque in the extreme. There are
many impossible situations, but the
action is so swift that the spectator is
carried along with it, and has no time
to stop and puzzle out the details
Mr.. Carter is fortunate in having an
excellent company; in fact, it is far
above the average company playing in
melOdrama. There is not a weak spot
in the cast, and the two little waits are
exceedingly clever children. Little
Stanley Lamb and his sister Lolita,
who play the parts. are not like the
general run of stage children, but act
more like grOwn-up professionals.
Miss Helene CarraII has a difficult
part in the double role of the twin sis
ters, i'm which several lightning changes
are necessary, but she carried both
parts to perfection. Miss Gertrude Gil
bert got lots of fun out of Pinkie the
frOlicsOme young maid. Miss Nell Glib
son was horribly natural as Mother
Bowser, the old bag. without whom no
melodrama would be complete.
James g. Morton. as Wayne Fleming,
the misguided father; Frank r. Wal
lace as DR.. Drake Young, and Charles
H. Gardiner the villain, were all ex-
cellent Charles T. Hart as Richard
III, and Francis Pierlot. as Flanagan,

~oNE-GALLUs1 DEMOCRACY.
How it Works in the State of

I observe that in the political up

the one-gallus Democracy was very

something about that 'one-gallus De

is q fearsome outfit. I have cam
paigned in the state occasionally, help

I was riding over the district once
with Representative Terry. who went
out OF congress last session after a long
