LONG DISTANCE ABUSE.

( FRENCH COURT has decided that
n when one individual curses an
other Ger a telephone he commits, in
effect. an assault. and is liable TO pun
ishment if the injured party so wills.
The fact that the abusive language
travels perhaps dozen miles or more
doesn't modify the degree of the Of
Tense or cool the fire in the words.
Many persons who have been led TO
believe that it is perfectly safe to call
a man anything at long range Will
hereafter be more careful.
In this country of long distance tele-
phones if an effort should be made to
apply the French law some interesting
complications might be possible. Sup
pose. for instance, a man here in Salt
Lake called up a gentleman in Mon
tana and insisted on explaining to him
that he was several different kinds of
lurid and indescribable things. Where
would the Montana man get even?
Would the assault be committed in
Utah or in Montana?
Under the laws Of which state should
the action be begun? The Utah stat
utes provide that where an offense is
committed partly in one county and
partly in another. the offender may be
tried in either. The same rule might
apply as regards states. Anyway, The
Herald advises gentlemen whose tastes
lie in the direction of telephoGic ours
ings to be sure Of their ground here
after before they go ahead.

An UNwARRANTED ISLANDER.

I RIENDS OF Senator Thomas
L Kearns were panied beyond
expression by an unwarranted
attack upon his character which
appeared in the salt Lake Tele
gram Saturday afternoon. That malice
inspired the publication those who
know the managers Of the Telegram
are loath 20 believe. but until some ex-
PLANTATION is offered it viii be quite
generally understood that Salt Lakes
new evening paper is to be the organ
of the anti-Kearns faction in the Re
publican party.
Speaking of tho senator's activity on
behalf of his constituents and his state,
the Telegram quotes wise old Solomon
is saying: "Seest thou a man dilgent
in his business: he shall stand by four
kings" Is Senator Kearns a prophet
without honor in his own country, shat
such things may be said of him? The
Herald would not advise so radical a
measure as the razing the Telegram
office by ar indignant populace, but
verify here is a case where strong
measures are necessary.
stand by four kings" indeed. The
senatorial poker game is generally re-
puted TO be about the fastest aud most
liberal festivitv of its kind in the
United States. To accuse Senator
ISeaTns Of standing by four kings in
such company as that. leaving the plain
inference that he wouldn't stand by
anything less. is to besmirch spotless
poker reputation. As a matter of fact,
Senator Tearns would stand by two
kings if che jackpot looked good. even
though he might have to endure a
few incidental raises.
Indeed. he might y.eid 10 the temp
tation to draw to deuces if his "hunch'
was sufficiently Earring. If the quo
tatson" from solomon is really apple
able TO the senator, he has deteriorated
rapidly since he entered public life.
The Herald. for one, does not believe
It. The Herald is not willing TO go
on record as supporting a theory that
the states junior representative in the
uppes house Of congress is making
Utah laughing stock by playing his
cards clos up to his ample "wesidt.'
But there maybe Solomon was mis-
quoted by the Telegram. The Chicago
version. Of the twenty-ninth verse OF
the tSenty-second chapter of Proverbs
may read as the Telegram puts it, bat
The Herald IS old-fashioned enough to
stick TO the King james bible, which
reads. 'Seest thou a man diligent in
his business? He shall stand before
kings"

FIGHTING RUM WITH Rum.

\ LONG PREVALENT notion that
L it is proper to fight the devil with
Gre" is to be put to the test in England.
An Organization known as the Peoples
Refreshment association, with head
quarters in London, propose to wipe
out intemperance and its accompany
ing evils by applications Of the de
mon rum" A drinking place is TO be
opened in London. where all kinds Of
Intoxicating liquors viii be sold.
In the same room soda water, tea,
coffee, cocoa and numerous other
soft drinks Will be dispensed The
novel feature of the establishment is
that the salary Of the manager will
depend almost entirely on the amount
'of non-alcoholic beverages he disposes
of. That is TO say. he will receive a
liberal commission for pushing the
temperance drinks. bur not a cent for
selling intoxicants. Any profits aris-
ing from the temperance saloon are to
be used in charitable work
The outcome of the experiment will
be awaited with considerable interest
1t is doubtful il the habitual drinker
can be persuaded to take soda water
when, by walking across the room he
can get his favorite tipple. Clubs are
better than moral suasion when it
comes TO dealing with drunkards. The
occasional driuker may be induced to
contend himself with non-slcoholic
beverages, and in this way the expert
ment may win a measure of success.
As a general rule. however, the only
way TO prevent men from drinking
whisky. if they want whisky, is to
place the stuff entirely beyond their
reach

SOME OGDEN MYSTERIES.

OGDEN IS UNDULY EXCITED over
~ the prospect that the Southern Pa
cifc may be induced to build around
the sourh end of The lake into this city
instead Of across the north end into
Ogden. There really is no reason for
any resident of the Junction City to
lose his temper. The railroad officials

same opportunity If Salt Lake can
convince the Southern Pacific-Union
Pacific people that it is to their inter-
ests to make il their terminal points
they viii build in here. # Ogden's
claims are built on a more substan-
tiai foundation. the Lucin-O ogden cut
off win DO built.
This is a pure business proposition
Nothing in the TELEGRAM sent by the
Commercial e.ub's governors TO Messrs.
Hartman and Tweed jUstides the Og-
den Business Meas association in in
curing BY what wight the salt Lakers
claim to represent the entire state
in their plea TO Mr.. Hartman to build
seventy miles Of extra track in order
10 run by way Of salt Lake" In
the first place tho local business men
did not claim to represent the entire
state. They merely said that they rep
resented all the large business inter-
ests of this city and state. II that
isn't the literal truth il approximates
it so nearly that no room is left fer
argument. The Herald is willing to
grant. though. that the telegram would
have been more technically correct if
il had inserted the word practically
between the words representing
aud "all."
Now by what authority does ogden
make the statement that the building
on the southern route involves the con-
struction Of seventy miles of extra
track? This assertion takes liberties
With the truth. According to the sur
Veys of the engineers. il is just 1os .
miles from Lucin TO Salt Lake skirt
ing the southern end of the lake. The
exact length OF the proposed Lucln-
ogden cut-0ff is just 1O3 miles. Here
we have . difference of five and one
half miles in favor Of Ogden. To this
add the distance between Salt Lake
and ogden. So miles. and the total is
forty miles instead of seventy, resolv-
ing all possibilities in favor of the juno
ton City.
The cUt-off from Echo to Salt Lake
is left out Of the reckoning. With this
section of road bulls, as The Herald
pointed cut several days ago, the
southern route is the shorter by sew
eral miles.

ANOTHER CANCER CURE.
French Physician Thinks He Can Do
1t With Arsenic and Quinine.

(IondOn Mail.)
Paris-At yesterdays meeting of the
Academic de Medicine. Dr. Lucien le Roy
made a communication that cancer is
durable by the internal administration
of arsenic and quinine employed stimuli
taneously in therapeutic doses.
To be precise: Il believe Estates DR..
lie Roy that I have cured in a few days
a case Of cancer of the lungs met with In
a lady AGED 81.
The cure appears TO me to have been
obtained first by the employment during
ten days of fifty centigrams per day of
MISUNDERSTANDING of quinine taken at
meal time. and. secondly. at the same
time by the injection every day of five
centigrams of cacodyiate de soude.

examination of another case of cancer
developed on tumOr of the scalp. ana
after numerous cases observed by others
Of the possibility of the development of
cancer on tissues previously diseased

lieve that If it be possible to inoculaJe
animals with cancer, il is only possible
by grating or cultiYating the living ele-
ments of cancer from man or an ami
nab on lupus, in the vicinity Of the tU-
NOR, or in a soil predisposed to the dis
ease.
IN order to prove experinentally my
first assertion 1 have commenced series
of experiments at the veterinary college
of Abort, with the assistance OF Profess
sors Gabriel, Petit and Almy."
This communication Was deposited I'M
der sealed cover with the academy on
Nov y, 1901. but was only read yester-
day Today l saw Dr. LIE Roy and asked
him for some further information con-
corning lis remarkable discovery.
