The Intermountain Catholic. (Salt Lake City [Utah] ;) 1899-1920, 1903-06-06

The Presbyterians have at last re-
vised their creed regarding infant
damnation. 1t is strange that so hor-
rible a doctrine as that a child could
be born to be damned through all
eternity for the glory of God could
have so longed survived. Few adher-
ents of that faith in recent years prob
ably believed in that part of their
creed.

Salt Lake City may well be proud
of the way the President Of the Re-
public was entertained during his
short visit last week. Everything
passed off without a hitch and the
magnificent turnout of horsemen and
others who took part in the parade,
as well as the thousands who lined the
sidewalks must have impressed even
those who are accustomed to the vast
crowds of great eastern cities.

A favorite expression with fanatical
Protestants is to call Ireland "a priest
ridden country" AS matter of fact
there is only one priest for every
S91 Catholics while every 1853 Episco-
palians in Ireland have a minister.
All Catholics know that one of the
great difficulties under which the
church labors is scarcity of priests.

There ought not to be a vestige of
Mormonism left after the Presbyterian
onslaught at Los Angeles, if the bite
of the general assembly we're COM
mensurate to its bark; which it isn't.
What good is accomplished by VIC
lent language in characterising those
who practice other forms of religious
belief, or what hurt? For hundreds
of years, our Presbyterian friends
have denounced the pope, in their
creed, as anti Christ, yet the pope sur
vived the attack. If Mormonism is the
monster depicted in the arraignment
which shook the rafters Of the Los
Angeles convention hall, it ought to be
suppressed, but pulpit phillipics will
not put it out of business. Those who
know, tell us the Mormons are not so
black as they are paitned. Be that as
it may, we fail to see how any practi-
cal reform could spring from such vi
Imperative methods.-San Francisco

Laporte, Indiana, witnessed Bap-
fist service conducted wholly by
women last Sunday. The ladies in
charge are said to have acquitted
themselves excellently, and the Eek
pertinent is pronounced a success.
There is nothing in the Baptist form
of worship that any woman with suf-
ficient strength of lungs and arms, can
not do as well as man. 1t is easy to
believe from our acquaintance with
Baptist ministers, that IN many m
stances women are better qualified
than men to run the church."

REAL ESTATE BUSINESS FAIR.
Great Activity Expected on Approach
Of Railroad

The real estate market has been only
fair during the past week Buyers
generally are watching railroad devel-
opments before making purchases.
Both the Clark and Moffat roads are
building from the other ends and the
men whose names are back Of the en-
terprises have declared publicly and
positively that they mean business and
intend TO have roads running into Salt
Lake as soon as consistent
Nevertheless, a large majority of peO-
pie have been disappointed so many
times that they have become skeptiCs
on all railroad propositions. This spirit
of doubt, however little called for. has
had it's effect. and a number of people
are sitting waiting until they can "see
the dirt fly before they are ready TO
step In and buy property that other
persons are picking up now to sell them
at a profit
The demand is principally for resi-
dences, and a number Of pieces Of mod
crate prices have changed hands.
while nearly all the building permits
have been for brick cottages. There is,
however. an encouraging demand for
good business property and several
deals now under way are likely 10 come
90 a head before long. Men in close
touch with the real estate situation
look for the beginning any time of an
activity which may reach boom pro-
portions. but which depends almost en-
tirely on the approach Of the new
railroads.

SUICIDE AT THE FORT
Private Louis Peterson, Without
Apparent Reason, Cuts
His Throat.

Without any apparent reason for his
rash action, Louis Peterson. a private
in company A. Twelfth infantry. COM
mitted suicide Friday morning az Fort
Douglas by slashing his throat from
ear to ear with a razor. He had been
at the post but two days and very lit
tie is known of the mans history and
no cause can be assigned for his deed.
About 5 o'clock Friday morning Pri-
vate Duynes Of company A. whose cot
adjoins that occupied by Peterson, was
awakened By a gurgling noise and saw
blood gushing from a wound in Peter
sons throat. The man was lying IN a
pool Of blood and a razor was firmly
clutched i'm his right hand. The post
physician was hastily summoned. but
Peterson died before medical aid could
reach him.
Very little is known of the mans
past history except that he had been in
the army several years and was just
recently transferred from the depart
ment OF the northwest at Seattle to
Fort Douglas. Peterson is believed to
have a brother living In Seattle, who
viii be notified of his death.
Since he has been at the post here he
has been an exemplary soldier and no
reason can be found for taking his own
life. He was a tailor by trade. His
funeral was held from the chapel at
the fort yesterday afternoon and his
badly inferred in the soldiers cemetery
with military hOnOrs.

WILL PASS THE
ELKINS LAW
Railroad Men Decide to Pay No
Attention to Il.
SANTAFE WILL IMPROVE ROAD
S. P. OFFICIALS MT DIscoUR-
AGED By THE eUAGMIRE.

IL is the opinion Of the local railroad
agents that the Ell1ins law viii not be
enforced so FAR as 1t applies to the load
ing Of wool The railroad men have
something up their sleeve, but Just
what it is they viii not say. They
claim, however, that the bill win not be
enforced. One of the local agents who
mas been opposed to the law said yes
terday.
There is great deal Of talk about
this measure, but the majority of the
JtafIlc men are not in sympathy with Il.
Most of the traffic men would rather
load the wool on the cars and even help
do the manual work than hang around
a town where there is nothing but
station and a store. This Is the work
mat we have to do very frequently"
The wool men yesterday appeared to
be very much encouraged over the out
look. They feel that the matter IS
practically at an end and that the rail-
road men are not In favor Of seeing
the law enforced. The agitation By the
wool men and the public print seems to
nave had its effect. The situation has
been agitated from all points Of view
and the railroads feel that the loading
question is one they can AFFORD to let
alone

WOOL CLIP is TO MOVE SOON

Business generally has been good in
Salt Lake, although not greatly In ex-
cess of normal. The conference crowds
brought IN the customary volume o.
orders TO the j0bbers, and the retail
stores felt the effect In dry goods
and allied lines the trade has been
good on account of the close approach
of Easter. and dressmakers and mill
liners have been working overtime
The amount of Easter business mas
been an that was anticipated, and, IL
anything. a little better.
The retail merchants among the con-
ference buyers placed small orders or

total footed up we'll This was espec-
tally true Of dry goods. shoes. notions

season is beginning and money viii

begin 20 move. The buyers are congre-
eating in salt Lake la large numbers,
and the shearing viii begin this week
iu a number of places. Preliminary
estimates Of the clip place it about
the same as last year, in spite of the
heavy losses on the winter ranges TO
the nOrthWard. Prices are firm, and
the sheepmen who have wool of good
quality TO sell have every opportunity
% get a good price. Those who sold
their wool on consignment last year
prOhted considerably and there is a
prospect that they may fare as we'll
this year.
Money is I'm good demand, and the
rates are firm. The bankers continue
their conservative policy I'm this re-
gard. The pace has been set by the
New York banks who are contracting
their loans and are discouraging spec
ulauOn. Every effort is being made to
put investments on a sound basis In
SAT- Lake the same is true, but there
are so many extraordinary speculative
opportunities In Salt Lake at the pres
emit time that money i'm considerable
amounts is drifting in that direction,
principally in mining. The encourag-
ing outlook for metals has given a
stimulus. with a firm confidence, in
legitimate mining investments.
Local commercial securities have
been steady. Utah Sugar preferred has
been traded in from $3.50 TO $3.50 a
share. a slight advance, while Utah
Sugar common has been as high as

and the price is being kept up for the
benefit Of the public. Amalgamated

pushed from $3.50 down to S62.50.
