the law is obeyed- Yet that is the
condition in Salt Lake today. CHIEF
of Police Paul said a few weeks ago
that public gambling could not be
stopped BY his own act he has proven
that the contrary is true Public gam
bling has been stopped. Now he says
1t is impossible to make the saloon
keepers obey the statutes regarding
the sale of intoxicants on Sunday Ex-
perience has proven that this is al
most wholly untrue.
Sunday liquor selling can be stopped
by simple notification to the law
breakers that if they persist in vio-
lating the statute. and the ordinances
they viii be arrested and prosecuted.
The council has instructed Chief Paul
to give such notice. The only re-
nlarkable feature of the proceeding is
the courtesy with which the notorious
violators of the law are treated. The
man who steals isn't told that il he
repeats the practice he win be ar
rested; the burglar is not politely in
formed that he. must be good. Why
should the Sunday whisky sellers be
treated with such distinguished con-
sideration?
The council made a mistake in di-
recting that notice be given. 1t
should have instructed the police chief
to arrest every man who keeps his
grog shop open on Sunday, regard
less OF his past. present or future po-
htieal influence. That would have been
the proper method of reaching the
trouble.

A SOCIETY "MoNKEYsHiNE."

A CCORDING TO THE NEW YORK
- papers. Newport society has been
cutting a real "monkeyshine." Joseph
Letter, who is well known in Salt Lake
on account of his several visits here
and his attempts to create drouth
during those visits, is the owner of
a monkey. Jocko. by name, and a
highly original name at that-if you
don't care what you say. Some days
ago Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish, finding ordi-
nary society events pail on her. con-
ceived the brilliant notion of giving a
dinner in Jocko's honor.
Accordingly, she borrowed the inter
esting animal, took him to a tailor and
had some clothes made for him regard
less of expense. The dinner was given
at the residence of Mr.. and Mrs. Harry
Lehr in Newport. Mr.. Lehr, like Elisha
Dyer. jr., is famous chiefly for his
beautiful legs. They are said to be
the handsomest pair, next to Mr.. Dy-
er's, in the known world 1t was a
jolly party that gathered around the
Lehr dinner table ito meet friend
from SIAM
The monkey behaved just like a real
society gentleman. He drank bumper
after bumper of wine, and finally he
began to throw glasses at the other
guests. Then he did a hop skip-and-
jump over the table cloth and wound
up by upsetting the remnants of the
feast upon the floor. The dinner to
Jocko, aided and assisted by the other
and it will be repeated in the near fu-
ture.
Such performances as this have their
value. after all. They go TO prove the
theory that man is descended from the
monkey. Further, they almost con-
vince us that the monkey is the supe-
rior of some human beings in a great

sire to criticise wealthy butterflies.
Their money is their own, and they
have a right to spend it in any man
ner they may see fit, but it does seem
a pity that when people are going hun
CRY, dollars should be squandered on
banquets in honor of repuIsive little
beasts.
Those who sat down to the Jocko
spread, of course, acknowledged that
Jocko was in every respect their equal
People don't ordinarily sit at the same
table with those they consider their
interiors. Thus We are given a new
line on Newport society. The least
thing Jocko can do now is to give a
return banquet in some convenient
tree top, with an accompaniment of
chatter perhaps not so Ineligible, but
at least as intelligent as that which he
heard around the Lehr board.

RIGHTS OF THE COUNCIL.
THE ASSUMPTION that the cour

THE ASSUMPTION that the council
has no right to interfere with
Chief of Police Paul and Mayor
Thompson in their enforcement, or
rather in their non-enforcement, OF the
laws and ordinances, is entirely un-
warranted The council is the supreme
authority in city affairs, and it was
intended 10 be the supreme authority
by the trainers of the charter and the
statutes. II this were not true, the
council would not have the power to
elect a new mayor in the event of the
DEATH disability or removal of the act
ing executive; If this were not true.
the council would not be required to
confirm appointments made by the
mayor, among others that OF chief OF
police.
1t is the councils plain duty, when
the chief OF police fails and refuses to
enforce the law. TO direct him to do so.
The council is at least jointly respon-
sible with the mayor for the chief OF
police. No chief could hold Office with
out the consent OF the council. Why.
then. should the council have response

OF the charter and Of the statutes

All existing railroad spans Of more than

whole time to sports. kipling cries at
them in fine sarcasm:

Ere ye fawned the younger nations for the
men who could shoot and ridei
Then We returned to your trinkets; then ye
contented your souls
With the fauneled fools at the wicket or the
nuddled oafs at the goals.
And here Kipling touched tender spot.
Cricket and football are dearer to the av-
erage Englishman than considerations OF
family, business, or state. The amount
OF work left undone, especially in the
army so that nothing may interfere with
sports, probably had a great deal to do
with present conditions in the South At
rican war. What a mighty howl OF p-o-
test has gone up from the cricketers and
the football players!
They denounce and ridicule the poet
with all the vigor OF their play and they
point to some score of prominent men in
sports who have gone TO the war "Flan-
neled fools" is SO apt a term for the
extreme to which cricket is carried that
the words sting like LASH Nobody ex-
actly knows what an ''oaf' is but being
muddled and classified with "fannclcd
fools" is enough TO raise the wrath of
the football players.
