Grand theatre. The programme wax
arranged by the opera house orches-
ira, TO take the place OF the First

the music at the Boise state fair. The
orchestra was heard in three pleas
ing numbers, two of the most effective
being the selection from Ludwig
Engiander's musical comedy. The

from ''Florodora' in the closing num-
ber
Phil Margetts made a decided hit
In his recitation OF Ned. the Idiot
Boy" His method is excellent and
his delivery impressive. He was warm
~ encored. One of the artistic num-
bers on the programme was the Vio-
lin solo by w. c. Give. His execution
is excellent and he responded to a
deserved encore. Another pleasing
number was the vocal solo by Miss
Lottie Levy. She sang 'Niolets," and
for the encore sang when l Think
of You" She was obliged to make a
third appearance. Her voice Is re-
markedly clear and sweet, and In the
higher notes she gives the impression
OF reserve force. c. Molierup gave a
cornet solo, rendering ROssinis I'm
fiamatus" with such effect that ne also
made a reluctant response TO a very
enthusiastic encore. Ed Midgley re-
cited THE Old Minister" and in car
rying out the idea used the alphabet
His facial expressions helped the COM
edy features and he responded to the
encore with a selection in dialect.

An Absent-minded Automobilist Re-

A prominent Washington physician fur
nished considerable amusement to pedes-
TRANS on Pennsylvania avenue one after
noon last week. The eminent, but upon
this occasion absent-minded, physician
endeavored to leave the Raleigh hotel in
his automobile. He had ridden from some
distance with a party of friends whom
he entertained at luncheon at the hotel.
When the party was ready to resume the
trip the machine refused to 90. and the
physician labored for a long time in the
Ruthless effort to induce il 10 move.

THE MORNING ORGAN OF Republi-
eanisnl. not content with going out
side the records 10 bolster up the de-
moralized support Of Candidate Jacob
Moritz, brewer and promoter OF dog
geries. now deliberately mis-states the
position taken by The Herald with ref
erenee 20 that citizen and one Of the
Democratic nominees, Simon Bamber-
ger. The Tribune declares that The
Herald has urged Mr.. Bamberger's
well known philanthropy as a reason
why he should be elected state senator.
The Herald has done nothing Of the
sort. On the other hand. The Herald
distinctly and specifically said that
while Mr. Moritz might be a philan-
thropist as we'll as Mr.. Bamberger. that
fact did not necessarily make either Of
them Mt candidates for state senator
ships. The Herald invited a COMPARE
son OF the two men as citizens. and The
Herald asks the Tribune 70 state hon
estly and candidly whether. If II had a
business transaction Of vital import
ance 10 entrust TO either Jacob Moritz
or Simon Bamberger. it would feel
that its interests were safer in the
hands Of the former than in the hands
OF the latter?
Doesn't the Tribune know that
nlnety-nine citizens out of every one
hundred in Salt Lake. knowing the
two men, would unhesitatingly select
Simon Bamberger as the ADLER busi-
ness man? Is the Tribune so blind to
the best interests OF the community
that II would have the people entrust
one OF the most sacred OF duties to
Jacob Moritz in preference to Simon
Hamburger? Why should not people
transact their politics as they transact
their business? Why should they not
select the man best fitted for the office
20 which he aspires?
Now as TO one other feature OF the
Tribune's defense Of Moritz, brewer
and doggery promoter. 1t says: ''Mr
Moritz supplies beer 10 saloons, but 1t
is scandalously unfair to hold him ac-
countable for what his customers do"
There is another deliberate attempt to
distort The Herald's position. The Her
aid has not attempted to hold Moritz
responsible for the deeds OF his Gus
toners. II has held him responsible,
and II win keep on holding him re-
sponslbie, as all good citizens are hold
ing him responsible. for the vice and
the sin and the crime encouraged and
permitted in the villainous dives which
Jacob Moritz backs.
If Mr.. Moritz is not responsible for
the men he installs as managers OF his
doggeries. then in the name of all that
is fair and honest, who is responsible?
Has Moritz ever discharged one of his
managers for violating the law against
selling intoxicants on Sunday? On the
contrary. has he not gone whiningly
before the council to defend these fell
lows when the arm of the law reached
out for them? Does the Tribune know
that the law holds an employer re-
sponsible for the acts OF his agents
when those agents are acting with the
full knowledge and consent Of the
Employer
Most assuredly The Herald holds
Moritz responsible for each and every
one OF hts nineteen doggeries; or per-
haps he has only seventeen now, since
the council has suppressed one OF two
of them.

BOUNDARY :."M0NUMENIS"
Lieut. Emmons, Who Has Been In
. vestigating These Stories,
Makes His Report.

Washington, Nov. 6.-Lieutenant George
T. Emmons, u. S. N, retired has made
to the secretary of state his report upon
the results of his investigation along the
Alaskan boundary of certain stories which
have found frequent repetition in late
years to the effect that monuments have
been discovered marking the real bound
airy line between Alaska and the British
northwest territory at a point many
leagues further from the sea than the
British have been willing to admit. Lieu
tenant EmmOns was selected for the work
of inquiry because he was thoroughly
familiar with the country in which the
supposed boundary stones exist. He spent
much Of the past summer in the region and
now has reached a conclusion. The state
department at this time will not make the
report public.
The inquiry is regarded as but one chap
ter in long series Of Investigations
which have been going on for the past ten
years under the auspices of the state de-
partment. 1t is said that the department
has investigated promptly every rumor
| bearing on the existence of boundary mon
uments which presented the least appear
| ance of plausibility. Lieutenant Emmons
declares that he has not breathed a word
l,of the nature of his conclusions to any
one except the officials here in Washing
tom. Still it is: regarded as a -. fair
conjecture that he has. not, found the
stones reported to exist to be
| boundary monuments. else the state de-
! partment would regard as incumbent on it
to take steps to bring that fact to the at
tention Of the British government with a
view to securing a rectification Of the
| present temporary boundary.
! Instead Of doing this, the report has
been referred to ex-Secretary John w.
Foster and. Senator Fairbanks for their
| information. They are members Of the
high joint commission which was charged
with the settlement of the Alaskan bound
airy question, among many other important
| matters
