sHARPERs ARE BUSY.

7 90 much publicity cannot be given
L to photographer NeweIfs exposure
Of the scheme of shrewd swindIers TO
e,ltort money from uususpecting set
tiers and prospective settlers in the
arid and semi-arid west. Their plan
is to send out circulars announcing
that they have inside Information as to
the lands which VIII be first benefited
by government irrigation works and
offering, for fees ranging from $50 to
500. to disclose this information.
Mr.. Newell says that two fraudulent
companies OF this character have been
organized. One has headquarters in
Omaha, the other in Pendleton. Ore.
OF course they have no inside infOrma-
ton. but it is said that they have
mulcted a number Of victims and, if
their operations are not checked, they
viii swindle many more The public is
warned against them. As Mr.. Newell
says:
They are simply defrauding sus-
eeptibIe people. They are taking money
for valueless information when they
are only doing injury to their victims.
They are sending people onto lands
that viii never be irrigated, either by
the government or by private enter
prise. and I know of instances where
these associations have pointed out to
their victims lands on hillsides which
could not possibly be irrigated"
In the same interview Mr.. Newell
says that nobody, not even the depart
ment itself, knows what lands are to be
irrigated by the government. a state
ment that is Of special interest in view
OF the announcements from time to
time that sites had been selected in one
state and another for irrigation works
under government supervision If no
sites have been selected we may as
well get ready to make another strong
pull together for the particular project
in which we are interested.
And this is the very thing that has
caused all the hesitation on the part
OF the government. There are so many
different sites, each with its peculiar
advantages and It's coterie of support
ers, that the government has found a
choice next to impossible. The citizens
Of no state are all agreed on a given
proposition. There are differences in
Utah over the Utah lake plan; there
are differences in Arizona over the Salt
river and san Carlos schemes, differ
ences everywhere.
No doubt these are honest differences,
but 1t has become quite apparent that
unless the men who have influence in
such matters reach an agreement it
viii be a long time before the money
received from the sale Of government
lands in the arid and semi-arid states
is converted into reservoirs and irri-
eating bitches. There is enough money
on hand to make a beginning, but there
viii be no beginning until an agree
ment is reached by the people most
interested.

AN AWFUL EXAMPLE.

WHATEVER may be the verdict as
w to which Of the gentlemen has
the right Of the controversy there
can be no difference Of opinion on the
proposition that Mr.. Giauque and Mr..
Mckay acted like badly spoiled chill
dren at the close Of the meeting Of the
board OF education Monday night If
Giauque and Mckay had engaged in a,
real Old-fashioned rough and tumble
fight they might still claim some re-
spect from the public But they didn't
do anything Of the kind.
Instead, they contented themselves
with calling each other ugly names,
such as eur" dirty cur" low down
pup" and 50 on ad nauseam. What an
example this is to set before the boys
and girls Of the city The president OF
the board OF education anu the former
principal Of one OF the largest schools
in Salt Lake glare at each other and
use language such as would warrant a
rough house" in any school in the
land.
And after all this smoke there was no
fire, although It may be said that MT.
Mckay had previously been fired, this
being the cornerstone OF the whole DIFF
hcuIty. The Herald is sorry the diff
Guilty took place, very sorry. Many
people viii find humor in the situation,
but for Us there Is none. It was too
apparent that neither Mr.. Mckay nor
Mr.. Giauque really wanted to fight.
Stll, we would not pluck a leaf from
the laurel wreath that Is coming to
Clerk Moreton for his bravery in
springing between the beIligerents.
We shudder as we think Of the great
risk he ran. Just suppose he had been
hit squarely IN the forehead by such a
word as eur" or such an expression
as low down pup"I Would he have
survived to wear, with the modesty
that becomes him 50 well, the badge OF
bravery that a grateful public is even
now preparing to pin upon his heaving
bosom2 We are inclined to believe the
worst.
Are we to understand and are our
children TO be given to understand that
it is perfectly safe 10 denounce one an
other with extreme heat and violence?
Is it fair for Mr.. GiauQue and Mr.. Nc
Kay by example to instruct our boys
that the tongue is mightier than the
fist? The only way these gentlemen
can redeem themselves is for them to
get together in a twenty-four-foot ring,
with or without gloves. With a reason

THAT DELAWARE AFFAIR.

TO paraphrase General Hancock's
L statement about the tariff, negro
burnings. after all, seem to be a local
issue. When a peculiarly atrOciOus
crime is committed the mob is usually.
formed and it generally accomplishes
its purpose, whether in Colorado or
Texas, Alabama or Delaware. The
fact that the victim Of the Delaware
mob Of Monday night happened to be a
negro is not important. Had he been
a white man the chances are decidedly
that his fate would have been the
same.
The color Of the criminal does not
make any difference. More negroes are
Iynehed in the south because there are
more negroes there and consequently
more crimes by negroes. Numerous
instances, unfortunately, are on record
in the south and elsewhere where white
men have been lynched for the ofense
of which the Delaware criminal was
guilty We say unfortunately because
mob violence is always unfortunate
whether the object OF it is black or
white.
No detail OF cruelty was omitted by
the Delaware mob murderers. With a
deliberateness that showed careful
preparation the negro, White, was
dragged from his cell to a spot agreed
on by the leaders of the mob. There
he was chained to a stake and burned
to death. The agony suffered by the
criminal was ineonceivably great, but,
after he was taken from his cell, no
hand was raised in his defense. Fear
full was his offense. fearful his punish
ment.
And in the story Of the affair, teIe-
graphed by the Associated Press, is one
feature that strongly smacks of the
impossible. This is the report that the
mob was led by a Virginian. Do We
find here an attempt on the part Of
Delaware to evade responsibility? No
body knew the name Of the Virginian-
til after the mob was organized and
he disappeared Immediately after the
charred body Of White fell into the
ashes OF his funeral pyre.
Yet somebody, If the dispatches speak
truly. knew the man well enough to be
able to say that he was a Viyginian,
which would indicate an almost init
mate acquaintance. We are rather in
clined to the belief that the story Of
the virginian was inspired by one OF
the Wilmington authorities. It is diff
cult to see why an outsider should take
so much interest in an affair that could
not have concerned him in the slightest
degree

a CLASH OF RACES.

T He row at the Bingham Con. COM
L pany's smeIter at Bingham juno
ton on Monday, starting over a trivial
difference between two worbmen, finally
grew into riot that might have caused
a number OF fatalities. The imported
Greek labOrers were on one side and
the American Iaborers on the other, so
that race prejudice was at the bottom
Of the trouble. Nor is there anything
surprising about the hostnities-
For months It has been apparent that
a serious clash would come sooner or
later. The American workmen have
set I'D the claim that the Greeks were
depriving them Of the right TO earn an
honest livelihood. They blame the COM
panies for bringing them in, but the
Greeks themselves have been made to
feel unwelcoHe in a hundred different
ways. OF the merits Of the controversy
The Herald has no accurate knowledge,
but there are two sides 70 it.
Representatives OF the smelling com
panies assert that it is absolutely i'm
possible TO operate their plants. with
native labor. This IS not for the reason
that the natives are incompetent or IN
trustworthy, but because enough of
them cannot be secured. The farmers
OF West Jordan and vicinity and their
sons don't mind working IN the smelt-
ers during the winter, but in the sum
mer they must give their attention. to
their crops.
To accommodate them it would be
necessary TO close the shelters in the
summer and operate them during the
winter alone. This would manifestly
be very poor business. The profitable
smelter is the smelter that is in con-
tinuous operation. Furnaces cannot be
allowed to cool, the ore must not
freeze" So, though the managers in
sist that they would much prefer tC
hire American labOrers, they are COM
PEELED TO hire Greeks or accept the
shutdown alternative.
No question Of wages is involved in
this controversy. The Greeks are not
accused Of being bad citizens. On the
contrary, It is admitted that they are
quiet and inoffensive, asking, as a rule
only the privilege Of working without
nlOlestation- This is strictly within
their rights If the case for the com
panies can be sustained. the Greeks are
not taking any bread from American
mouths
Capable Americans who are willing
10 work regularly are assured Of steady
employment The Herald would not OBJ
ject to the displacement Of every Greek
employed in any sIaelter In Salt Lake
county. but Il is unfair and unjust &C
expect the companies TO discharge
them until they know they can secure
men enough to I'll their places. There
is no occasion for disorder or argu-
Aaent about the matter.
