4 LEXANDER A. ROBERTSON has
4 earned his freedom, and the board
Of pardons could do no more popular
thing than grant it 70 him immedi-
ately.
In all the thrilling details Of the break
Of seven convicts for liberty from the
Utah state prison. none stands out more
sharply. none is more calculated to win
admiration and applause than the cour-
age of A. A Robertson. He took his
life into his hands, even into his finger
tips. to protect the lives of others, and
those others are men who are paid for
keeping Robertson safely in prison.
The heroisn of Robertson is the more
noteworthy because Of the physical
condition OF the man. Never robust,
confinement has weakened him and,
though it cannot be said that he is ill.,
ne was in no condition Friday night to
pit himself against the desperate Grim
inals who We're seeking their liberty.
Yet Robertson acted with a prompt
cool courage that would be a credit to
an=- man.

it was well for him that he moved

into his consciousness. However Ions

JUST A FEW KNOCKS.
New York NorIdO


CNote-The New York World and New
York Sun in particular, and other news
papers in general, are carrying on q
ceaseless knocking on Roosevelt, Of which
the following is an example,:
The president is very sensitive to news
paper criticism. He lectures reporters Sc
verely when they print anything he does
not like. He thinks nothing should be
printed in administration papers that is
i'm any way incompatible with his dignity,
whether the story is true or not
He has had two reporters removed from
their assignments within the past two
years for printing things ne did not like.
He wrote several letters to the editors
about these reporters, TOO. and both OF
them had printed true stories. Similarly,
the president is fond of praise. He likes
to read nice sentiments about himself in
the newspapers. He is not so great a
newspaper reader as President Mckinley
was, but he patrOnizes the press clipping
bureaus and pores over the clippings
every day.
President Roosevelt is generous with his
confidence. He will tell his friends any
thing, ana then bind them not to reveal
what he has said.
This makes it announcement sometimes,
for newspaper men who 60 to see him.
Tor the president tells the same thing to
when the man to whom 1t was told Origi-
nally must hold it in confidence or break
his word.
The president gets angry easily. He
SAYS harsh things to those who run afOul
of him. When he gets excited he can use
triangular words with anybody. When
he isn't excited his favOrite words of
, emphasis are, BY Godfrey" and BY
Jove."
The president is n very hearty eater
His appetite is prOdigiOus. He likes a
bottle Of white wine with his dinner. He
drinks very little besides that
The president says he is delighted"
fifty times a day. He is delighted" 20
see YOU. delighted" to hear YOU are
well. and "de-hght-ed' everything else.
He uses many superlatives. Everything
to him is the best or the worst ever.

GAMBLING AND OTHER EVILS.

DUBLIC GAMBLING is being per
L mitted practically without serious
attempt at interference by the peace
officers Of Salt Lake City.
Last Sunday a large proportioH-of the
saloons sold Intoxicating drinks to all
who applied for them and who had the
price.
More recently, a notorious disorderly
house on Commercial street that had
been closed for several months, was re
opened for unlawful business.
For. several weeks petty criminals of
all sorts have been pouring into Salt
Lake City. We have had more open
crime in that time than for three
months prior to it.
Do the honest, Iaw-abiding, inteIli-
gent people Of salt Lake see any con-
nection between the four plain state
ments above made? Let US &c. over
them again in their chronological order.
First. open gambling; second, Sunday
saloons; third the disorderly house;
/ fourth an era, of crime. With open
gambling as a beginning the other
| things become possible, indeed, inevita-
/ BILE. We have never had public gam
bling without the Sunday saloon and
the other attendant evils. It is not
likely that we can ever have the public
! gambling house without the rest Of the
7 collateral offenses and offenders,
The Herald some time ago printed a
partial list of the open gambling houses.
the places where all except the police
seem to be able to go. Last Monday a
partial list of the open Sunday saloons
was printed. Every one of them, and
more. win probably be open today. By
what right do the gamblers and the
saloonkeepers violate the law and dis
grace the city? Why are they more en-
titled to more consideration than other
criminals who are every now and then
arrested by the police2 Are they being
protected for political reasons? If so,
who expects to profit by It?
These ar. questions that decent peo-
PIE would like to have answered, fully,
fairly, frankly. It IS as much against
the law to conduct a gambling house as
TO steal. though, strangely enough, the
law provides a heavier penalty for the
ofense last named. We say curiously,
] because the LnleL is OLleu uIlNeA Dy
necessity to his crime, the gambler new
er. And yet the thief gives as full a re-
turn for the money or property he gets
as the gambler. Besides, he takes some
risks while the protected" gambler
takes none.
The Sunday saloon question is equal
lly important In all conscience 1t is bad
enough to let this business Of poisoning
mems bodies and souls go on for six
days a week. The law says it shall
not go on for seven days, and the law
must be obeyed. Saloonkeepers have nc
more right to sell intoxicants on Sun
day than they have to rob banks. II
has been demonstrated that the saloons
can be closed on Sunday and kept
closed, even with the small police force
Salt Lake now has. What has beer
