THE narrow minded individual
who condemns a whole nation on
account of the wrong doing of a
few Of its people, and who insults a
foreign nation indiscriminately be-
cause of a prejudice growing out OF
such narrowness, is unfit to be the
editor of newspaper. 1t is to be re-
GREETED that there is no legal way
TO restrain such a person from
engaging in the newspaper profess
sion. Only one who is broad
enough to realize that all nations
must naturally comprise both good
and bad men, and who is liberal
enough to admit this fact, and to
praise or condemn men on their
own merits, and not blame their
nation for their shortcomings
should be permitted to parade his
views in black and white.

A DIVORCE was sought by a st.
Louis couple who had not spoken
to each other for two years, though
living under the same roof, the hus-
band being the petitioner. The di-
vorce was refused. Perhaps the
Judge thought that any man who
did not appreciate a silent wife did
not know when he was blessed.

ANARcHlsM appears to be merely
a dangerous form ofinSanity. The
murder OF innocent and often truly
good men and women merely be-
cause they occupy high station,
without even the pretense of &C
complishing any good end thereby,
and wnen no personal spite or
other motive for such deeds can be
traced, can only be defined
as the act of inadmen. There
may have been tyrants in the past
whose death liberated their subjects
from cruel oppression, and to kill
them may have been an act of
heroism, but the assassination of u
pure and noble woman like Empress
Elizabeth of Austria, and of a man
free from all faint of tyranny or
other evil doing as President Nc
Kinley, were merely acts Of wanton
madness. The nations of the world
will hold congress next year to
devise means for controlling or
stamping out anarchy. 1t is to be
hoped they may succeed.

IT Is now reported that the
Colombian government will find a
way around the alleged constitu-
tional obstacle to the granting OF
perpetual control of the canal strip
of territory to the United States, and
the only question now is that of
compensation. Colombia's estima-
ton OF the value OF the privilege
sought by the United States is dis
proportionately large, in view OF
the advantages the former will
gain from the mere fact of the
construction of the canal
by this country. But it is
quite probable that the South Amer
leans will agree to split the differ
nee.

One unexpected result of the
development oftfe stupendous for
tunes of our multi-milllonaires is
said to be the fear of poverty on
the part of people owning moderate
fortunes, who make an adequate in
come now but fear that when in
capacitated by age the money they
possess will not bring them suffi@
lent income to support them in Il e
comfort they are now accustomed
to. The accumulation of vast for
tunes in the hands OF the few has
lessened the earning power of money
and, whereas, men were once able
to live in comparative ease on the
income from $4,000 to $4,000,
those sums at the present rates OF
interest bring very much less than
formerly. Men who once felt that,
if they could accumulate such Il
modest fortune by the time they
should be ready to retire from an
active life, now know that, with
the present low rate of interest and
higher cost of living, they will be
comparatively poor and obliged to
live in the plainest style when they
are old, unless they can accumulate
more.

goldstandard doubly assured, with

WEATHER Man
IN SALT LAKE
Inspector COuger Comes On a Tour
Through the West
WHAT HE EXPECTS SOON.
Believes That scientific Developments
Will Greatly Aid meteorological
Research.

Inspector Norman b. Conger OF the
United States weather bureau is a
guest at the Knutsford, on an inspec-
ton tour through the west. He has
been connected with the service for
many years. beginning as private
when the bureau was part Of the war
department Had the bureau remained
there, MIR. Conger would now have been
a major or lieutenant colonel.
Mr.. Conger remarked today that the
tine was coming when the aerial cur
rents would be followed by meteorolog-
zeal experts with absolute accuracy, and
causes and origins of the winds and
storms would be reliably ascertained.
"A few years ago." he said, 1T would
have been considered 1resumptuOus
folly TO have predicted what Is today
ordinary experience In he scientific
world. SO Il Is not too much TO claim
that some day the secrets of the air viii
be discovered. ana We will be able to
ascertain the oources OF Al storms and
determine In advance their paths and
20 give the world reliable warning In
plenty Of time to prepar when neees-
sary."
Mr.. Conger spoke hopefully Of the In
crease In general intelligence relative
to irrigation, and said II was resulting
in a more and more pradical applica-
ton of scientific methods to the distrl-
button OF water in arid sections. so that
thousands of acres Of land hitherto re-
garded as worthless were yearly being
brought under profitable cultivation
through the development Of the irriga-
ton system. Mr.. Cong,r expects TO see
pretty much the entirA intermountain
region reclaimed by irrigation In due
time

Another robbery was committed In

and the alleged robber are now In the

George Anderson, miner, VINO re-
sides somewhere near Liberty park
when he is at home.
A handsomely dressed and good look
ing woman giving the name OF Mary
Brown, but known to the demi- monde
as big Lucille" Is the person charged
with the crime. The amount lost is be-
tween $50 and 500,
The woman and Anderson were ar
rested this morning by Sergeant Rob
erts and officer Ben Segfus and taken
to the police station. The woman vehe-
mently denied the charge while Ander-
son, though intoxicated, swears that
when he entered her room on Com
mercia and Second South streets he
had over 500 with him.
Andersons condition was such that
he could not give very lucid explana-
ton of where he was prior To his meet
ing the woman, but cousin OF Ander-
son claims to know something about
the affair and does not hesitate TO say
that Anderson was given wine In which
there was a drug Of some Kind, that he
was rendered unconscious by this
means and then robbed of his money,
all but ~
Anderson discovered his loss this
morning and at once reported IL TO Old
Ger Seigfus. The latter reported the
matter to Sergeant Roberts. When the
woman was arrested and taken TO the
police station she cried. threatened,
coaxed and begged. She swore that
she had never done such a thing In her
life and declared that the man did not
have that much money with him. AT
first Anderson was reluctant TO swear
ing out complaint against her but he
was given TO understand by the police
that unless he would do so they could
do nothing for him. Finally he agreed
to file charges against her and a COM
plant alleging robbery will be drawn
up this afternoon.
Anderson was then locked up until he
becomes thoroughly sober and II Is
likely that the woman will be arraigned
tomorrow. The desk sergeant fixed the
woman's bonds at 500. which she is
trying TO secure and II is quite probable
that she will do so before night.
Although the woman claims that this
is the first time she has been accused
of robbiDg a man, the police say she is
one Of the worst women In the town for
that sort Of business.

day. recites that the bank was exam
lned Sept II last, and while the exam
iner's report showed losses equal 10
surplus and undivided profits then on
hand there was no evidence OF insol-
Vency Certain conditions were then
imposed with a view TO providing for
losses and securing the bank against
further loss on its loans. Later II was
determined to place the institution In
voluntary liquidation by having anoth-
er bank in Boston take over Its assets
and assume its deposit liabilities, ana
II was thought that arrangements TO
this end were being carried out untl
the acting comptroller received a dis
patch from Examiner Neal Yesterday
that efforts to liquidate had failed. The
failure, the statement says, Is due to
losses sustained. There Is no apparent
dishonesty on the part OF officers OF the
bank so far as the records Of the comp
troller's office show.

nounced that 1t would advance to de-
positors Of the Central National bank

Is felt OF a clash between the whites

two parties have grown bitter. Lately
the Indians have learned how their
tribesmen have been forced to give up
their holdings on the Warmers Ranch
reservation and move away and they
fear similar action In their own case
if the whites are permitted further TO
encroach upon their territory.
