WAR AGAINST swEATRs.

D PHILADELPHIA MOTHERS are all
1 wrought up over a proposition to
exclude from the schools boys who
wear sweaters. It is argued by the
whitewater forces that sweaters be-
come very dirty; that disease germs Of
all kinds Turk in them. and that every
boy who wears one endangers not only
his own health, but the health of those
around him. We believe there is con
siderable rubbish about the argument.
OF course disease germs do Turk in
sweaters, but disease germs Turk
everywhere.
An indignant mother, writing to the
Philadelphia North American, puts
her side of the case very strongly. She
says: ct is a pretty how-d-you-do
when we, as mothers, cannot dress our
boys to suit ourselves without having
oId-mafd teachers say what to do or
what they shall or viii wear to school.
Sweaters can be washed-at least I
wash my boys sweaters-and that is
more than the teachers can do with
their dress skirts. The twenty-five
cent dolls with gold spectacles should
pick the mote out Of their own eyes
first,
Give a boy a good pair Of shoes on
his feet and a sweater and he win not
catch cold so easily as if he had no
sweater on. Land of libertvl
II the boys are to wear no sweaters
II the board of health so decides-then
these old maid teachers ought to wear
calico dresses, and the men teachers
overalls and Jumpers, so as they can
be washed"
The name Of this mother is not at
tached to her communication, but we
desire to applaud her display of COM
mon sense. No more sensible garment
than a sweater can be worn by the
average shooIboy.
In the first place, it insures him the
greatest freedom Of action in boyish
sports, a very desirable feature, as any
boy viii testify; second. it saves lot
Of wear and tear on his good clothes.
another very desirable feature. as any
mother viii testify. Nearly all moth
ers see to it that their boys sweaters
are as clean as it is possible to make
and keep them. That is more than can
be said for the clothing of some OF
the teachers, even in Salt Lake City.
Fortunately the local board Of health
has not seen fit to begin a war on the
juvenile sweater. If it should take
such action we shall insist, as the
Philadelphia matron insists. that the
female teachers shall wear calico
gowns and the men washable overaus
and jumpers.

The man King, recently released
from the Utah penitentiary, it having
developed that he had no part in a
murder Of which he was accused, must
have spent a good deal of his time
while in confinement in thinking up
lurid tales to tell after he secured his
release. At least we judge this theory
is correct. for the reason that King has
been telling some magnificent yarns to
Denver newspaper men, And we feel
to observe that he is somewhat of a
liar if he has been correctly quoted.

THE PANAMA FIASCO.

Panama has rejected the canal
treaty and thereby has probably con-
ferred a great favor upon the Ameri-
can people, The Panama route was
chosen through the influence of the
great transcontinental railroad cor
porations, which are opposed to the
construction of any isthmian canal,
but seeing that the American people
were determined to have the big
ditch. tricked congress into adopting
a route which has been proven ex-
ceedingly difficult if not impracticable
by the costly failure of the De Les
seps company The railway magnates
knew that a canal on this route could
not be completed for many years ana
they counted upon their ability to
prevent its being built altogether by
sending a lobby to work upon the Co.
lombian congress. That lobby has
done its work well. 1t wasted no time
or money on the lower house but gave
all of its attention to the senate, Sc
curing a unanimous vote against the
ratification of the treaty.
Senator Morgan of Alabama was
right when he repeatedly declared
that the Nicaragua route for the 18TH
milan canal is the only feasible one
and the cheapest for the United
States to construct. 1t is farther
north AMI would bring the Atlantic
and the Pacific coast Of the United
States much nearer together than the

advantageous to the maritime nations
of Europe than to America. The rail

FRENCH CONTEMPT OF COURT.

The Humbert trial is on in Paris,
France. The Humberts achieved dis
tinctiOn as the most unique and sue
cessful swindlers Of modern times
They swindled the populace, and they
swindled their way into high society.
They swiniled for dollars, and with
the dollars swindled for social posi-
ton. According to latest reports.
they seem to be endeavoring to swim
die the court ana the public into be-
lieving that they never swindled at
all.
Such a trial should be a very seri-
Gus matter. But sober seriousness is
one thing Of which the French seem
incapable. The trial, thus far, has
had all the earmarks of entertaining
vaudeville. Nothing is said abou, the
jury, very little about the Judge, AMI
the conservative report declares that
Nine Humbert dominated the pro-
ceedings"
This shrewd dame who made the
Crawford millions-the millions
which never were-go such a long
| way, transposes herself into the &C
cuser. Monsieur lie President" she
cries to the trial judge. you are
clearly showing by your manner that
you are against us. You should dis
guise your feelings and try to appear
impartial" How is this for contempt
Of court? What would an American
supreme court do under such circum-
stances?
Nine. Humbert then goes on to cali
witnesses liars. Finally she declaims
that the CrawfOrds exist, though some
how she has been unable to find the
lost millions These Crawfords exist
under an assumed name, she declares
and will come forth to cap the eli
max, to render the trial play well
rounded out.
Nine. Humbert is a remarkable wO-
man, with a distinct talent for either
the dramatic or for fiction. Doubt
less her performances are difficult to
good a "side-show" attraction as could
be devised But even woman can
be regulated when the proper dignity
of court of justice is maintained.
Such antics constitute contempt of
court in the true sense.

Roosevelt has not By word of mouth
recognized the existence of the great
public question of this era.
Perhaps he considered that utter
ance conclusive for all time Perhaps
he did not wish to break the spell of

he thought the less said the better
Perhaps, remembering how he used
to shout "shackle the trusts his 81
lence was enforced by his sense of
humor.
And then most men are averse to
cOntradicting themselves; he wouldn t
reverse himself any further than was
absolutely necessary to pacify the
trusts and make terms with the ma
chine.
Let the trusts and tariff alone, -
proposed the machine; get the peo-
pies mind away from these questions
talk about morals You distract
them and We'll DO the rest" Here
was an honorable compromise that
few politicians would ignore, and Mr.
Roosevelt accepted it.
Of morals we've had a-plenty, and
while Mr.. Roosevelt has been stimu.
laing our morals and getting our
minds off the vexatious realities the
machine has been fixing things. We
have been directed to gaze alOft while
the machines hands were very busy
For example, in Iowa Mr. Roosevelt
talked about higher things while the
machine sneaked around and stole
the revision plank from the platform.

ment?

COUNCIL is RESPONSIBLE.

Before approving the mayor
choice of a hydraulic engineer to re-
port upon a gravity water system the
council should be convinced that the
man selected is competent, reliable
and free from all connection with any
scheme to hold up the city for the pur
chase of a large body of land for
which it has no earthly use. Every
member Of the council has as much
right as the mayor to take part in
the choice Of an engineer In fact
under our charter the council should
take the initiative just as it is
authorized to do in the choice of a
chief Of police or other city officer
to fill a vacancy. Every man in the
council will be held to a full respon
sibility for the choice made tonight.
and the people who elected the seven
members expect each of thin to have
the courage to speak out in meeting
to advocate what he believes to be
right or to condemn what he believes
TO be wrong.

water bonds were sold to Harris q
Co. at an interest rate Of 37s per
cent.
There was only one bidder for the
bonds of this school district, which
was probably due to the fact that the
board gave notice of the sale in no
newspaper except the morning paper
with it's meager circulation.
There is little doubt that the board
could have got better terms from the
state. which under a law passed at
the last session of the legislature is
authorized to buy municipal and
school district bonds. The city of Sc
attic recently sold 100000 issue to
the state at a low rate of interest. Sc
far as known no effort was made
by the Walla Walla school directors
to get a bid from the state.
