DEATH BY STARVATION.

IN THE FINANCIAL CENTER of
this land of plenty, this land where.
we are told, every man who wants to
work can find work ready to his hand.
a man died the other day. When they
stripped the ragged clothing from his
body even the experienced morgue at
tendants shrank back in horror. The
bones almost protruded from the flesh,
the legs were mere stems and the arms
were wasted away into shadows. The
man had died of starvation.
On the day of his death he had bare
" strength enough to totter along a
New York thoroughfare. The smell of
warm food issuing from saloon at
t-acted him. He pushed open the
swinging doors and started in. The
miserable man had no coat, no vest no
shirt. Only a ragged undershirt COW
cred the upper part OF his body, and his
trousers were worn TO tatters.
The individual known as the bonn
cer'' saw him as he entered. With a
wave Of his great hand he pointed to-
ward the street and the starving man
understood. No food for him there. AS
ne neared the edge of the sidewalk he
staggered and fell. The first man at
his side heard him murmur. In the
Polish language, Il am so hungry
That was ALL Before he could be taken
TO n hospital he was dead.
What a tragedy was this, The unfor-
tunate Pole, knowing no language but
his own, had probably wandered about

Mr.. KNox's SUGGESTIONS.

A TTORNEY GENERAL KNOX has
II Jagged sorely on the trust ques-
ton but It must be admitted that he
has come forward with some good ideas
at last. And yet, though some of the
remedies he proposes are sound. he
does not reach the real root of the evil
the protective tariff. Still, much
good can be accomplished If congress
win incorporate the attorney generals
recommendations into q law.
Mr.. Knox calls attention first to IN
just determinations by common car
riers in favor Of the heavy shipper and
against the small one. Rebates and
discriminatory rates constitute one of
the chief restrictions on competition"
Mr.. Knox continues. "They unjustly
swell the earnings of favored concerns
and, supporting a vast volume of cap
ital stock, which represents nothing but
unfair advantage over rivals, contrib
ute largely to the upbuilding of mono
poly"
The attorney general suggests that
all discriminatory practices be made
offenses to be enjoined and punished
He would have such legislation apply
with equal force to those who give and
those who receive Illegal advantages.
1t may be stated here that this is CA
actly what the interstate commerce
commission has been contending for.
At present the law is entirely inade-
quate.
Members OF the commission know
that unlawful practices in the line Of
rebates and Determinations are beins
resorted to and they have time and
again found carriers guilty of the Of
Tense, but there is no way of enforcing
decisions adverse to the railroad corn-
panies. If a law is passed whereby
railroad officials may be imprisoned
or heavily fined for violating the law,
and if the heavy shipper is subjected
TO similar penalties. there viii be con-
siderably less Of this competition-de-
BtrOying business
Another of Mr. KnOx's suggestions
which should find its way into law is
that relating to the punishment of cor
porations which seek to break down
competition by underseiling competitors
until the latter are ruined. This is
one of the Standard Oil company's pet
methods. The meat trust, too, has been
guilty of it, time and again 1t is one
Of the most effective of all of the
schemes carried out by monopolies to
secure undisputed possession Of a given
market.
There are numerous instances where
independent oil companies which re-
fused terms offered by the Standard
OIL company have been bankrupted by
the opening of rival Standard concerns
IN which oil was sold at figures below
the cost Of production. The moment
The independents were driven out of the
field prices were raised again and again
and the dear public forced to pay the
cost of the war. The meat trust has
done the same thing with butchers who
refused to handle their products
II a law can be framed that will
reach these evils and if that Law is
properly and diligently enforced, we
may expect great good to result.

STEEL TRUST PUBLICITY.

he REPORT of the United States
Steel corporation for the calendar
, year ended Dec. 81 discusses millions
as triDpingly and with as little awe as
most reports discuss cents. The total
net earnings for the year were 1872
$4,000. the last quarter showing a net
gain OF more than $500, 600 over the
corresponding period in 1901 The un-
divided profits at the end Of the year
aggregated S33.S41.565 and the cash on
hand amounted to s54.724. 1O6
IL the present earning capacity is
cqntinued-and there IS every reason to
believe that it will increase, rather
than decrease, on account of the great
amount of railroad building and Struc-
tural iron work construction now go
ing on-the trust win be able to pay
handsome dividends for an indefinite
period That is. on the face of things
Some OF us cannot help viewing with
suspicion, however, the eagerness with
which the steel trust avaiis itself OF
every opportunity TO explain to the
public what a wealthy corporation it
is and how much money it is earning
Combinations Of capital are not usually
anxious to take the people into their
confidence, and just why the steel trust
should be such a conspicuous exception
is for he present one of the business
worlds mysteries.
If a corporation of less prominence
advertised its profits so continuously
we might suspect that it had stock
which it desired to work off on the
6uiIible. We cannot say that this is
true of the steel trust, because in the
very nature of things it should be a
money making proposition. Controll-
ing, as it does, the manufacture of
steel rails. structural iron and steel
and hundreds of other products, with
the ability to fix prices as it pIeases
throughout the country. and, to some
extent, throughout the world if the
steel trust cannot prosper, no corpora
ton can prosper.
Nevertheless. seeds of suspicion have
been sowed in the public mind through
the trusts advertising methods. Its
showing looks almost too good to be
true. from the standpoint of the in
weston.

GOOD LUCK.
Is Certain to Come if Strange Cat

New Orleans Times DemOcrat)
DO l believe that it is good luck for
a strange cat to follow you home?' said
the chubby man in response to ques-
ton by his friend who was just re-
marking on a little experience he had
had with a strange cat. We'll
should say 1 do. In fact, / know it's
good luck. I've tried it. Positive
proof has convinced me of it. There
can't be any question about it. When
I say l know it I mean that the thing
has been demonstrated beyond any
sort of cavil. Here is an instance: I
was walking along with a friend in
Chicago a few years ago late at night,
when we suddenly came upon a cat that
was very lame and in great distress. L
picked the creature up and found that
all four of its feet were frozen. After
carrying the cat for some distance,
nearly to my room. I dropped into a
saloon to get nightcap. and 1 thought

did. I started to pick the cat up
again. but my friend reminded me that
it would not be a bad idea to let the
cat follow us home. 1t viii mean good
luck as certain as the world-never
fails he said. enthusiastically. The
cat followed us all right, and hObbled
into the room with US that night. You
just wait said my friend, well have
next day my friend dropped in. Any
good news yet?' he asked me. as he
rubbed the back of the Durring cat.
Nothing, replied. The next day he
was around again. Anything yet, old
man?' he asked. None said. oh.
it'll come all right. Never falls and
he dashed out again. He made another
call the following day and asked the
same question, and got the same an
swer. His belief was still mistaken
as far as the good luck was concerned.
The next day he walked In and found
a letter addressed to him on my desk.
He opened it. read it. and fell back in
fit of laughter. 'What'd | tell you?''
he said. Never fails. Good luck ev-
cry time. ] knew il would come. 1t
always comes. Read this. Come here,
kitty, and he grabbed the cat. pulled
her up in his lap and brushed her fur
as he kept on laughing. I glanced
through the letter. 1t told of the death
of a relative with whom my friend had
some trouble on account of property
interests, and the death meant that my
friend, really deserving fellow, would
come into possession of a good, COM
Portable estate. Yes, indeed. If a
cat follows you home you are certain
to have good luck"

MARRIED MEN AND SINGLE.

HERE IS AN ITEM that should in
II terest unmarried people, young
and old, of both sexes. A special dis
patch from Norfolk. Va. to the Phila-
delphia North American says:
Unmarried men are excluded from the
service OF the Williams railway of Nor
folk. Portsmouth and Newport News. and
it is possible that the same rule will be
applied to other roads of the Virginia
capitalists. Manager Gum says the plan
of employing only married men insures a
steadier, soberer. more reliable class OF
men. who are more accommodating TO the
passengers. and have at heart the interest
wanderers, as a majority of unmar-
ried men are liable 10 be.
1t will now be in order for Manager
Gum and his co-laborers to institute a
marriage bureau with a view to giving
the unmarried men a chance to make
themselves eligible to employment.
However, he will have a hard time
forcing men TO get married who do not
want to enter into such a contract.
even if their positions do depend
upon it.
Nor is it by any means certain that
married men invariably give better
service to their employers than Single
men, A man who wants to be steady.
sober and reliable viii be steady. sober
and reliable whether he is married or
not The mere performance of a mar
riage ceremony does not, as most of US
can attest, Immediately transform an
unreliable man into one who is re-
liable.
Marriage, it IS true. has a tendency
to steady and sober the husband His
responsibilities are increased. the ne
cessity for steady employment is more
apparent to him and he feels more am
bilious to achieve success. This is the
normal view, but il has almost as many
exceptions as It has examples. Nearly
every citizen of age and experience
knows married men who are the re-
verse Of steady. and he knows single
men who are as reliable as men ever
get to be.

COMMUNICATED
CRUELTY TO A VETERAN.

To The Salt Lake Herald:
on behalf of the members of the
Society of Spanish War Vet
Grams. 1 would like TO call
attention, not only of the people of
Ogden, but of Salt Lake also. to the
criminal negligence and inhuman in
difference of the ogden city authori-
ties. The case in point is one where
a volunteer soldier. after serving in the
war with Spain. bearing the scars of
the enemy's rifles, having an honora Bile
discharge, good recommendations from
previous employers. and having COM
United no Offense, except that of serv-
ing his country faithfully and we'll
was left to die in the city Jail when
there was plenty OF room in the county
hospital, and, though the mayor had
been notified that such was the case
he refused to have him removed, even
when recommended to do so by the
county physician. Leaving out the ig-
nominy of letting the man die in this
place; leaving out the good ground
for belief that he would have recovered
if given good nursing and attention,
the principal kick that we have COM
ing is that, while the city government
was perfectly wen aware that a SOL
diers' organization was in existence in
this town, they did not even take the
trouble to notify us of his situation.
We publish these facts, not through
any good that it will do now that the
man is dead, but from the knowledge
that such an inhuman and brutal act
will receive the condemnation of the
people of Utah that It rightly de-
serves. Yours very truly,
Y. l.. CHAMBERLIN,
First Lieutenant Spanish War Vet
