County Attorney Westervelt wants
somebody to show him where there has
been corruption in politics so he may
prosecute a case. He is particularly
anxious that the prominent Republic
ans who charge the use of money I'm

come forth with evidence. That is, MT.
Westervelt says he wants evidence. but
no one has seen him out with a lantern
hunting for it Mr. TVesterveIt knows
that prosecution for the use of money
in either a primary or "a mass conveu-
ton is extremely difficult because men
who have been bought and those who
bought them are equally incriminated
and equally 10th to advertise their cor
ruption. He knows, too, that an In
dividual citizen hesitates TO assume thu
role of prosecutor when the officer paid
by the county is either weak as a law
yer or so closely identified with the
ruling politicians of the offending fac
ton as to make conviction remote
possibility. Besides. the record OF the
county attorneys office to date under
its present administration has not beer
so eminenuy successful as to inspire
either confidence or respect.

Could Do Nothing.

This is a story told of a well known
western senator. At his home he had
met prior to his election as senator, an
army officer. When the senator left on
his first trip to Washington it was
with the impression. that ne could ac-
complish anything in the way of legis-
latiOn and he believed that every man
who approached him wanted some
thing. This irc.'ression of the senator
led to all the trouble. 1t CHANGED that
the army officer had a brother in
Washington, a prominent physician
there. The OFFICER sent his brother a let
ter of Introduction to the senator ana
privately requested the doctor to show
the senator any COurtesies possible in
the way of getting the new statesman
acquainted with the city etc. The doc
tor accordingly called on the senator
with this idea i'm his mind The SEN
atOr took the doctors card, glanced at
st. shook hands gingeriy and asked the
doctor to call again at 10 O'Clock the
following day. The doctor. somewhat
afTOnted. as was natural, took a char
liable view of the situation and called
the following day. He was, in due
time. ushered into the presence Of the
senator. "Oh. how are your said the
senator, pretending to be very busy
with some papers on his ;a9,e. after
a further pause of few minutes the
senator arose, placed his thumbs in the
armhOles of his vest, viewed the doctor
deliberately from head TO foot and IN =
tone of simulated heartiness inquired.
! We'll. what can / do for YOU DO
for me2" said the startled doctor
why. nothing, 7 don't need any help
a moment later the doctor grasped the
whole situation and with a hurried
goodbye left in disgust. They never
met again.

THE POST CANTEEN.

4 T THE COMING SESSION Of con-
u gress an effort, backed by practi-
cally every officer in the United States
army, as wen as by the highest officials
in the war department, is TO be made
to secure the repeal OF the law under
which the army canteen was abolished.
The weight OF the testimony is against
the anti-canteen theorists. Although
they contend that the new law has not
had a fair trial, although they profess
to believe that the abolition of the can
teen has had a salutary effect on the
army. the facts seem to be against
them.
Only a short time ago a surgeon of
high rank in the army of the Philip
pines fled a report. In it he declared
that drunkenness and disease had in
creased alarmingly among the enlisted
men. Rightly or wrongly, he attributed
the increase TO the absence of the post
canteen. The Herald has always be-
leved that the post canteen, properly
cOnducted-and most of them were-is
the reverse of harmful to the rank and
file Of the army.
In army canteens no soldier was al
lowed to spend his entire pay for intox-
icants. Only beer and light wines were
ever sold. 1t was impossible for a man
to get drunk in one of them. The
slightest disorderly outbreak was i'm
mediately quened. The police records
of Salt Lake City, which has always
had an army post, with the canteen and
without It, show that when the can
teen was in operation very many fewe.
soldiers were arrested in the city thar
at present when there is no canteen al
the post. These are facts worth con
sidering.
The Herald does not believe the gov
eminent should place temptation in the
way Of it's soldiers. 1t does believe
that when you make some things hard
for men to get they viii work hard tC
get them The records show that tho
only individuals who have profited 10y
the abolition Of the canteen are the
divekeepers, the whisky sellers in IL
! censed and unlicensed saloons and the
proprietors Of disorderly houses.
The soldier who would spend dollar
/ in the post Canteen spends ten dollars
I if he has so much, when he gets into
! one Of these. joints. This is a fact tina
can be proven by any one Of the hun
/ dreds of army officers who have had an
opportunity to observe the workings Of
the law. And just as a suggestion: i.
/ It right to prohibit the sale Of intoxi
Fcants in the canteen and permit it il
/ the officers clubs?

THE MONTANA SITUATION.

THE MONTANA SITUATION 1seemF
4 more hopeless than ever. There
is absolutely no prospect Of a setue-.
ment Of the Heinze- Amalgamated Lti-
cation in the near future. What viii
happen when the thousands Of idle men
in Butte and elsewhere begin to feel the
gnawing pangs OF hunger no man can
foreteU. 1t is almost certain that there
viii be rioting. perhaps loss Of life. for
the hungry man listens to no argument
except the argument of his empty
stomach
Mr.. Heinze's offer Of a settlement was
altogether unsatisfactory. { He pro-
fessad q willingness 10 sell the Mac
Ginniss stock at a comparatively mod
crate price. but ne attached conditions
to his proposition that make its accept
snce impossible. None knew better
than Mr.. Heinze himself that his offer
must be met with refusal The re-
sponsibility, Therefore, is his. IL he
would consent to moderate his demands
a settlement might be effected and the
empty hands be filled with work, the
empty stomachs with food.
Ruin is staring the whole state of
Montana in the face. Storekeepers can
not afford to carry very long on their
books men who have no prospect OF
paying their accounts. The opposite
/ course would mean speedy insolvency
Nevertheless. the hungry must eat. Flu
! ture events must decide how.

NOW FOR THE VOTING.

THE LAST OPPORTUNITY for gem
/ eral registration having been Of
fered and accepted or rejected accord
ing to the notion of the eligible citizen,
the duty Of voting remains for those
who are qualified electors. The fran
chise has been variously spoken Of as a
right, a privilege and a duty. We pre-
Ter to regard it in the latter light, for
certainly the good citizen has a solemn
duty to perform in the selection Of pub

the greatest in Utah. Every voter is a
stakeholder in the corporation. The
election next Tuesday is in the nature
Of a general stockholders meeting. We

our sole business is the election of a

This is a business proposition, pure
and simple. A large proportion OF the
voters of salt Lake have, at some time
or other. owned stock in a corporation.
their holdings might be large or small,

II BE GOOD PEOPLE Of Salt Lake
are invited to consider the case
Of George Gibbs, tough negro prize
fighter, common vagrant and habitue
Of Bruce Johnson's Commercial street
dive. Gibbs was arrested by the po-
lice who were prepared to prove that
he has no occupation or means Of
support, that he has been lighting in
street brawls and is At subject for
jail OF rock-piIe. Gibbs was released
on bail furnished by his friend and
patron, Bruce johnson. On Monday
the case came up for trial before
Judge Dieh1 and Gibbs was released
and the case dismissed. After this
extraordinary parody on justice,
Judge Diehl tried to put the blame
for Gibbs release on City Attorney
Nye's Office, represented by Attorney
Ingebretsen-
Tt 81 barely possible that the city
attorneys Office had some share in
the responsibility for Gibbs protec-
tom it IS not certain that Judge
pi6hl might have upheld the police
Ia their effort to do a plain duty if
he had felt inclined. There is no
question, however, but that Gibbs
owes his immunity from punishment
to this "pullD Of a negro dive-keeper
and politician who stands in with
prosecuting officials and the court.
The Gibbs case is nothing unusual;
rather is it a common thing in the
police circles for criminals to seek
shelter under the political influence
of johnson, and they are rarely dis
appointed in the result.
The alliance Of criminals and poll
tics works as surely for the defeat of
justice as if it were simple mathe-
MATES. The dive-keeper has votes;
the cringing candidate wants votes
The dive-keeper gets his strength
from protection Of criminals and hC
depends for success on the candidates
with whom he trades. That is the
whole explanation Of Bruce Johnson''
present position as Republican boss
En- the downtown district end it goes
far toward accounting for the eas'
with which his proteges can violate
the law without fear of punishment
It is a little hard on the decent
citizen and it is bitter arraignmen,
of the administration of justice tina,
such a condition can exist; but it il
the plain truth and there can be M
remedy except in an uprising Of th'
people who respect law and are de
termined to have it respected.
