nedrnom Pnninhment.

Bedroom punishments for children are extremely bad, and the shutting up of little ones in darkened rooms and cupboards absolutely wicked. This has been known to be the cause of much unhappiness in after life. The telling of alarming stories by ig- norant nurse maids, too, cannot be too sternly and promptly checked. If we wish our young children to go to bed happy when night comes, we should carefully guard against any bad impressions being connected with that time There is no doubt that the child who sings herself to sleep at night is the one whose nights rest will be most beneficial, and whose mental powers will in, crease properly with the rest of her bedy.

Some men are born to win renown
 And some to plod in lonely ways; Some come to sweep the tuneful strings,
 And some to lead in bloody frays. Some yearn for honor, some for wealth,
 And some the love for women wish, But no boy ever saw a pole
 Without the old desire to fish. Chicago Record Herald.

VOTE FOR VAN CoTT.

THE HERALD does not feel that it
l. is doing any violence to its well
known opposition to politics in school
affairs when it urges the voters of the
county to support Oscar Van COtt for
superintendent of schools tomorrow
Mr.. Van Colt himself places efficiency
before craftsmanship. He would be the
last man to urge political utilization as
a requisite for a county school super
intendency or for position in the
teaching corps.
His record during the two terms he
held the Office speaks for itself. His
competency has been proven beyond
the peradventure of a doubt. Those
who believe in the establishment and
maintenance of the highest possible
grade of excellence in the county
schools will vote for MI. Van Colt
without the slightest question. He is
interested in the work of education, a
work to which he has devoted the
position he has been called to fill has
he been found wanting.
Not for one moment would The Her
aid support Mr.. Van Colt if it did not
believe he would be the right man in
the right place. If The Herald con-
sidered the Republican nominee the
better man it would have no hesitancy
I'm supporting him. But Mr.. Ashton
is not the better man. In The Her
AIDS candid judgment he Is by no
means the equal of Mr. Van Colt, al
though he has conducted the school
business of the county for two years
to the best of his honest ability.
No mistake viii be made If Mr.. Van
Colt is elected at the polls tomorrow.
The Herald, speaking not in the inter
est OF any candidate. but solely in the
interest of the schools, sincerely hopes
and believes Mr.. Van Colt will be
chosen.

THE LAWS DELAY.

As a USUAL THING, The Herald
II pays no attention to anonymous
communications. but one has reached
this office, signed a Taxpayer" which
is worth noticing because it reflects, 10
a large extent, hasty public sentiment.
The communication follows: -----...-
Mr.. Editor 1 have waited for some
time to see if there would be any public
expression of feeling in your paper
about the present legal proceedings in
the Mortensen case In my opinion,
they are only an outrageous outrage
upon the injured party and the public.
Nortensen has been tried and found
guilty of the most abominable murder
that could be committed. And instead
of justice by law overtaking him speed
lily. he seems there to find his greatest
protection. Such proceedings are rot
calculated to inspire people with re-
spect for law, but rather the opposite.
Hence lynchings. Such proceedings may
be profitable for lawyers, but it is
death on the public purse
The Herald cannot justly be accused
of sympathy for Peter Mortensen, OF of
seeking 20 palliate the fearful crime OF
which he stands convicted. However,
any criticism of the delay in executing
this defendant is ill-timed and unfair.
Though Peter Mortensen had been con-
victed of twenty murders. each one as
foul as the assassination of James r.
HAY. he would still be entitled to all
the protection the law can throw
around him. The same right must be
accorded to every defendant in a GRIM
inal proceeding.
Considering the nature of the case, its
mystery and the multiplicity Of wit
nesses. the proceedings have been re-
markedly rapid. Hay was killed last
December. Mortensen was tried in
May. II was not the fault of the de-
fendant that the hearing was post
poned through the intervening period.
Neither is the prosecution properly
blamable. 1t was necessary TO unwind
many tangled threads of evidence and
circumstance; TO talk to dozens OF
| witnesses.
The trial itself was speedy, again
taking into consideration the difficulty

PREPARE FOR THE ELKs.

IN A LITTLE MORE than three
weeks the Elks will be coming to
town from every quarter of the United
States .Deducting a liberal percentage
for those who find, at the last moment,
that they will not be able TO GENE, it
is certain that Salt Lake viii be crowd
ed with visitors as it was never crowd
ed before. Anywhere between 10000
and 10000 strangers are coming, per-
haps more than that. The capacity OF
Salt Lake is to receive thorough test.
That every requirement viii be full
filled is practically certain, but this
happy result cannot be accomplished
without harmonious work, not only by
the local Elks but by citizens general
ly. Food and shelter will be abundant.
but that isn't all the visitors will re-
quire. They must be entertained in a
manner that will cause them to remem-
Der Salt Lake with lasting pleasure;
that will lead them to spread favorab BILE
opinions abroad and that viii make
Them want to come again at the earli-
est possible date.
To this end every citizen is a men,
Der of the committee on reception and
entertainment. Elks' week should be
a week in which Salt Lakers should
make it their business and their pleas
ure to see that the outsiders lack moth
ing which will contribute to their COM
fort and enjoyment. 1t would be a
good notion to clean the city UP thor
oughly during the next three weeks.
Let every speck of dirt and filth be
carted away, and let us show the
guests 'spotless town that in some
measure approaches the ideal
The Herald has often suggested that
the big Office buildings be given bath.
Few things could be done that would
add more to the attlactiveness OF the
city And the expense would not be
great, either. Every big building in the
city now presents a dingy front. If
they are properly washed the first inn
pressions of the visitors, and the first
impressions are the impressions that
count, viii be favorable.
Another thing that is absolutely nee
essary is an increased police force. AS
the department stands today it will be
painfully incompetent to handle the
crowds. As many men as may be nee
essary should be added, and this should
be determined upon Immediately so
| that only the very best of the avail
able men will be selected.
Salt Lake will be on trial as it was
never on trial before. So much de-
ponds on the successful handling of the
approaching convention that it should
hardly be necessary TO call the atten-
ton of citizens to its Importance.

ginning. Attorney General Knox
started cut to dissolve the Northern
Securities company and prevent the
Great Northern Northern Pacific
merger.
A great parade was made of Roose-
velt's virtuous Indignation that such
things could be. What has become of
that prosecution? In like manner, hats
were waved in Roosevelts honor when
proceedings were instituted against the
beef trust. Yet the beef trust is do
ing business at the old stand. The
Republicans have claimed that they
have not the power under the law to
dissolve the trusts.
Why have they not passed d law
which would give them the power?
Both houses Of congress have been in
their hands; the chief executive would
doubtless have signed such an act. But
he was not given the opportunity Con-
gress was in session from the first
Mondays in December to the second
day of July. seven months, and not a
line of antitrust legislation was placed
on the federal statute books.
Isn't it rather late now for Repre-
sentative Littlefield TO come forward

the public be justified in believing that
the proposed act. prepared, it is said
at the suggestion of the president, is
for campaign purposes onlyT
There can be no other rational con
