DEATHS.
Miss Anna L. Scow.

Miss Anna l.. Scow, the eldest daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Christian Scow of
North Ahtanum avenue, died at her
home at 6:l5 a. m, Sunday, March 90,
1902. She had been sick for little over
eight weeks with typhoid fever. The
disease hung on tenaciously, and the
fever did not leave until last week. On
Saturday indications were favorable to
recovery, but she was so weakened by
the ravages of the disease that the
reaction was too great.
Miss Scow died in the bloom of young
womanhood, having reached the age in
life when the world was brightest, and
her many young and old friends feel
keenly the sadness her untimely death
impresses upon them. She was only II
years and month old, and had a host
of friends. She was a member of the
Presbyterian church and was a student
of the High school when sickness came.
A father, mother and two younger sisters
survive.
The funeral took place at go p. m.
today. Services were conducted at her
home by Rev. F. l.. Hayden of the
Presbyterian church. There was large
attendance of friends, and the cortege to
the interment ceremonies at Tahoma
cemetery was large.
The members of the High school
turned out, together with the cadets in
full uniform, and many tributes of flow
ers were laid upon the bier by former
school friends. Railway men. associates
of deceased's father, besides great
many of his fellow citizens, attended.

The Goldendale Agriculturist is dis
cussing the grazing question in its usual
ridiculous style. In an attempt to sub
stantiate its assertions it refers to North
Yakima in way that indicates lack
of knowledge of the subject. A news
paper writer should not tackle propo-
sition on which he is not posted. There
is a right and wrong side to every
question, which person with perverse
ideas cannot comprehend. The grazing
question is one that will right itself to
changing conditions in Yakima county,
and that is the only way to settle the
matter

The permanently established mechan-
les of this city, particularly the painters,
are protesting against the manner of
their treatment by the people of this
city who make it practice to employ
itinerant workmen because they per-
form their labors at cheap rate OF
wages. The complaint of these me-
chanics is justified in the light of the
facts in the case. There are a number
of painters here who own their homes,
pay taxes, deal with the business men
to their full extent, and they should be
given the support OF those who have the
interest of the community at heart.
The itinerant painters, the home paint
ers claim, do the work below reasonable
prices, and the home people are free to
deal with them. This is an unfair treat
ment OF the home mechanic, and the
practice should be discouraged.

William Saylor, who moved from here
with his parents to Seattle Is months
ago, and who has been clerk in the
Bon Marche store, was seriously injured
last Saturday night by street car
striking him. 1t is thought his skull is
fractured, and chances for recovery are
against him.
Mrs. Frank Kremer exhibited at this
office a mammoth sponge which she
received Saturday from friend in
Florida. The sponge measured 46 inches
in circumference, and was cup-shaped
with a number of small pockets on the
side. 1t is curiosity, and attracted
not little attention.
The team attached to the Springvale
dairy wagon took lively spin down
Yakima avenue without a driver on
Saturday morning. In turning the
corner at the Hotel Yakima they collided
with an electric light pole, splintering
the pole of the wagon and demolishing
a number of glass bottles containing
milk. Otherwise very little damage
was done, which seems strange when it
is known that the upper part of the
wagon is made up largely of glass, and
when parting company with the team
was thrown upon its side.

LITERAL IDEA OF LAW.

THEY HAVE a mighty literal idea of
L raw up in Canada. When they put
a statute or an ordinance on their
books they are old-fashioned enough
to think it ought to be Obeyed. Fur
thermore, they see that it is obeyed.
no matter how unpleasant the imme-
date consequences to the offender may
be. This fact is beautifully illustrated
by an occurrence in the city of Ottawa.
There they have a provision in the
license law under which any member
of the municipal government who is
guilty of violating one of its provis-
ions must forfeit his seat and be dis
qualified from holding Office for the
two years Immediately following his
conviction The mayor of the city was
out one night entertaining a party of
visitors. He prolonged the tour Of
sightseeing until after the lawful time
for closing the saloons.
Then, when it was apparently too
late, it occurred to him that his friends
might like a bedtime highball. They
agreed that they would ike one, so he
escorted them into a hotel with a bar
attachment The proprietor served the
drinks to his honor and friends. but
aIasl chiel was "amang 'em, takin'
notes" He reported the occurrence to
the proper authorities and the mayor
was hauled before the police court.
There he could only enter a plea Of
guilty, which carried with it the for
fixture of his place.
The council accepted the situation
and appointed a temporary mayor. who
will serve until the erring officials
| successor is elected at the polls. 1t is
doubtful if such a literal construction
/ of the law was ever given in any COM
munity. It does seem rather hard to
make a man give up a good job merely
/ because he drank one highbaH after
/ hours. but when we come to the rights
and wrongs Of the case there is only
ore side.
/ No truer thing was ever said than
| that the Only way to secure the repeal
OF a bad law is to ENFORCE it. On the
statute books of Utah and in the Salt
Lake City ordinances are dozens of
laws which nobody pretends TO enforce.
] Tobacco and whisky are sold to mi
/ nors. boys are permitted to frequent
billiard and pool rooms, expectOration
on the sidewalk is as frequent as it
is disgusting, swearing is common, and
yet how very rarely is anyone arrested
! for these offenses and many more
which might be mentioned?
/ What a hubbub the> ottawa police
| force would create in this town if it
could be transported bodily and put to
work herei 1t doesn't occur TO those
officers TO say what laws shall and
what SHALL not be enforced. They are
verv literal minded men.

THE HILTON MIDDLE.

IT IS BEGINNING to look as i7 Mayor
Thompson will have some trouble
in prying Chief Of Police Hilton loose.
Has the time come when It is possible
for an Incompetent man 20 retain an
Office merely because he mas enough
friends in the council to prevent his re-
moval? The Salt Lake police depart
ment was never in as miserable a con-
dition as II is today. It is divided into
cliques and factions, all working
against each other and, in the end,
against the welfare of the city.
Certain gentlemen in the council are
apparently under the impression that
they are the masters, not the servants
of the people. In order to crafty a
spite against Mayor Thompson, or be-
cause they hope to retain a few of their
political henchmen in Office, they are
deliberately overriding the almost
unanimous wishes of the public that
made them councilmen IT is doubtful
if a single member of the council who
opposes the discharge Of Hilton will
risk mis- reputation for carrying az least
a pinch OF brains in his head on the
statement that Chief Hilton is compe-
tent
The Herald has no personal griev-
ance against the chief. As an in
dividual, he is a good citizen and an
honest. straightforward man. As a
chief Of police. however, he is a con-
spicuous failure. ana in view of his re-
fusal to resign when the opportunity
was given him, he should be summar-
lily removed.

TO WASH BOSTON CHILDREN.

POsTON. THE SEAT OF "CUL-
~ chaw," the fountain of learning
the hub from which radiates all that
is worth knowing or having. has been
overlooking that which the Bible tells
US is next TO godIiness. Recently the
Boston board of education. finding that
a goodly proportion of the school chill
dren were coming to their various tenn
pies Of knowledge with dirty faces. CT
dered that bathrooms be equipped in
each building.
Hereafter, when the urehin comes
with unwashed countenance it will be
the duty of the teacher to lead him by
the ear or otherwise f. the tub. There
his head viii be placed under a spigot
and a diligent application Of soap and
water viii follow. It is easy to con-
jure up a picture of the Boston school
ma'am, all spectacles and nose, calling
one of the recalcitrants to her desk.
We can see her compress her thin lips
and over the wireless telephone we
can hear her say;
George, it pains me beyond compre-
hensible expression to give utterauce
to the sentiment that you have failed
to observe one of the commonest of
! hygienic regulations ere leaving the
parental domicile this beautiful morn
ing The august cOnservators of edu-
cation in this municipality have con-
eluded that no child bearing on his
countenance a trace of earth's upper
stratum shall remain among his little
associates uncleansed. Come with me to
the IavatOry. George. and will apply
to your epidermis a combination Of
oxygen and hydrogen which is calcu-
lated to remedy or at least alleviate
| the reprehensible laches of which you
have been the perpetratOr.'
If George has survived the wonder
fully lucid little talk. and, being from
Boston, he probably has, he is taken
to the bathroom and washed clean be-
fore he is permitted to go into mis-
classes. The order really isn't a bad
one because by the time a teacher has
thoroughly gone over a boys neck and
| ears a time or two the chances are
he'll begin to enjoy washing at home.
We must confess a feeling Of sur
prise, however, that the Boston kid
should be so much like other kids. We
had no idea he ever got dirty. It's such
! "beastly bad fawm, We know"

CHARLES R. FLINT. organizer Of
- trusts, promoter of capitalistic
combinations and general destroyer Of
competition. viii perhaps change some
opinions he expressed not many months
ago. Mr.. Flint was responsible for the
formation of the Crude Rubber COM
pany. a mammoth corporation that was
to do all of the country's rubber bust
ness. Somehtny. though. there wasn't
enough elasticity to the proposition,
and it snapped.
The Flint cs Sc is one of the most
typical examples of the pride which
precedes destruction that has fallen
under the public eye for a long time.
About the time the rubber trust was
being formed. Mr.. Flint gave Utterarce
to some statements which went into
the wall street geometry as axioms.
Some of his sentiments are good
enough to be reprinted. but they must
now sound rather CHASTITY to Mr.. Flint.
For instance, he said:
Big industrial corporations are
bound to prosper. Tht organization of
large industrial combinations is the
most prominent fnancia. feature of the
present revival of prosperity. State
ments of profits viii be rendered which
win have a tendency to turn mems
heads. The time has gone by when it
is necessary to argue as to the right Of
large aggregations of capital, for the
purpose of industrial development TO
exist. The trust is here for good
It is hard for Mr.. Flint to be COM
peIled to reverse such categorical prop
ositions as the ones here laid down.
Yet his own experience has shown the
falsity Of practically every one Of the
statements. Perhaps his rubber trust
wasn't sufficiently well organized. 1t
is possible that some competitor he
considered too insignificant to take into
his combination turned out formidable
enough TO wreck his plans. Maybe he
left his heel uncovered as did the god
Of mythology.
However, the public has no cause to
rejoice over the downfall of the Crude
Rubber company. II has been taken
over by the international Crude Rub
Der company which, by a queer manip-
ulation of finance, acquires the assets
of the defunct concern, but does not
become responsible for its Liabilities.
So wen have to pay just as much for
our overshoes. our mackintoshes, our
hard rubber combs, our elastic bands
our erasers, as we ever did.
