FIVE YEARS FOR IMPUOENcE.

= UDGE ASPINALL of New York has
J discovered a new crime, the crime
of impotence. Because a burglar
whom he had sentenced to serve four
years in prison was impudent to him,
Judge AspinaH added five years to his
sentence. If the criminal hadn't con-
cluded to hold his tongue he might in
the end have been given a life sentence.
Five years in the penitentiary seems a
heavy penalty to pay for a few
thoughtless words.
The burglars name was Brown. At
least that was the name he was SEN
fenced under. Having been caught in
the act he entered plea of guilty
After he had been given a four years
sentence and having made the state
ment that an alleged accomplice was
entirely innocent, Brown was being
taken out of court when Judge Asphalt
told him he didn't believe the accom-
plice was innocent. Brown made some
angry reply and the judge called him
back
i've a good mind to change your
sentence" the court is reported as say
ing. Yes. 1 viii change it. You Will
go to the penitentiary for six years"
Once more the officers started out of
the court room with Brown, who NUT
tered. addressing the judge. Il hope
yoU'u croak before L get out" There
upon he was brought back forthwith
and three years more were added to his
sentence. So in all his impudence cost
him five years of liberty. Now the
question arises. Under what statute did
Judge Aspinall act when he sentenced
a man to five years IL the penitentiary
for talking back" to him?
Was this the act of a sane, sensible,
careful judge? Did the fact that Brown
was saucy to the court tend to make
the crime for which he was arrested
more heinous? Would not this same
Judge deal severely with a policeman
who would violently club a prisoner be
cause the prisoner was impudent?
Nevertheless. the circumstances are al
most parallel.
1t is a well known fact that if every
policeman took it into his head to re-
sent angry words spoken by his pris-
oner. hardly a prisoner would be taken
to jail unbeaten. officers Of the law,
of whom Judge Aspinan is one, have
no right to take cognizance Of any
thing except the offense for which a
defendant is in court. Nothing the man
says unless he is on the witness stand
should be used to increase his sentence
or make his penalty Feavier.
Anger and pique have no place in : a
court of justice. All Corners are equal
before the law and until all are treated
alike we can never have ideal courts
in this country.

7 HERE IS AT LEAST one nuisance
committed daily in Salt Lake
which can and should be abated with
out delay This IS the street sweeping
nuisance. Now, street sweeping is not.
of course. a nuisance per Sc. The OBJ
jecuonable feature is not the sweep
ing itself. but the time at which it is
done. Surely it is not necessary for
the sweepers to start their work so
early in the evening.
We find them at 10 o'clock at night,
often earlier than that, stirring up great
clouds of dust and other Objectionable
matter which blows into the faces Of
people who are on the sidewalks and
crossings. This dust is more than an
noying. It is dangerous. highly dan
gerous. TO the public health. Everybody
knows that nothing is so saturated
with disease germs Of every character
as street dirt.
It contains the bacilH OF diphtheria,
consumption, scarlet fever, typhoid and
practically every human malady that
can be communicated by germs A
Whit Of this filth is pregnant with pos
sibilites Of disease and suffering It
is really surprising that the evil of
early sweeping has been permitted to
continue so long. It may be said that
an early beginning is necessary in or
der to complete the work before morn
ing
If this is true. then the street depart
ment should put more men TO work.
The net result, 50 far as the expenditure
Of money is concerned, would be iden-
tically the same. 1t costs no more to
work four men for four hours than to
work two men for eight hours. If the
city doesn't own enough street sweep
ing machines it is high time more were
purchased. Such a step would be in
dorsed by every citizen who has suf-
Tered from the early sweeping nui-
sance
Under no circumstances should the
work be started before midnight and it
should be finished by s o'clock in the
morning. The paved district is increas-
ing rapidly. We have two or three
blocks of paved street now where we
had only one a few years ago and we
recognize the fact that it costs money
to keep them all in presentable condi-
ton. 1t is money well spent, though,
and if it is necessary, more money
should be spent for the same purpose.
The street committee of the city
council can occupy itself in no way
that would better serve the welfare of
the community than by an early con-
sideration of this question. Keep the
sweepers off the streets until after mid
night.

COUNTING THE COST.

T HE FOURTH OF JULY celebrations
L are over and it is time to reckon
up the cost. First. in regard to the
casualties. 1t is estimated that not
less than 10000 persons were injured,
more or less seriously, on Saturday
while engaged in celebrating hide
pendence day. The number of fatali-
ties is not known and cannot be ap-
proximated. but it is safe TO say they
were numerous. And for days the in
jured must be nursed; for days par
ents VIII fear their children have con-
tracted lockiaw.
In money, it is estimated that $25.-
100000 was burned up on Saturday in
fireworks alone. This takes no account
of the fires started by irecrackers and
other explosives in the hands of care
less persons. Now. after all. was this
worth while? Is il necessary to have
all the noise that we now have on
Independence day. Is il necessary 20
waste immense fortunes on fireworks /:
that is. immense fortunes when the
aggregate expenditure is considered?
Is the man who spends SO for fire
works for the Fourth a better patriot
than The man who doesn't spend a
cent? we hardly think so. Patriot
ism is not measured by noise or casu-
alties caused by careless handling of
explosives. The country is growing
more reckless every year in its Fourth
of July observance, and II is time to
cali halt. If all the money that is
worse than wasted every year on In
dependence day could be given to the
various soldiers homes throughout the
country they would be free from en-
bavrassment for all time.
We would not deprive the small boy
Of his celebration. even though it does
cost him a few patches of skin. his
father a few dollars and his mother
some anxious hours. But the celebra-
tons should be on a more moderate
scale. Then. too. we would like to see
a check put upon men who think they
can't have a good time on the Fourth
without fooling away their money on
giant powder, great firecrackers and
big caps They make everybody about
them uncomfortable and at the finish
they have nothing to show Cor their
money.
why not start a movement for do
mating the Fourth Of July money. OF
a large proportion Of it, to some wor-
thy charity every year? This course
would be hard on the dealers in fire.
works, but it would be a much saner
proceeding than the method at present
in force

LEO XIII.

TIE DEATH of Pope Leo XIII,
4 which seems, according 10 the dis
patches from Rome, to be question
OF hours only, viii be mourned by
Catholics and Professionals alike. There
was something about this fine old man
that won for him something more than
allegiance from his people. He had
their affection as well and the story
of his life shows that he deserved It.
Tor more than ree-Qusrters of a CEN
fury he gave every moment of his time
10 his faith
Born IN 1910, March 2, Leo entered
the priesthood at an age when most
young men are thinking only OF the
best methods Of enjoying life. His rise
in the church was phenOmenally rapid.
He became an archbishop at the early
age of 80 years. and ten years later
he was a cardinal. being one Of the
youngest men in the college. IN 1877
Leo was appointed chamberlain or the
sacred college and on Feb. 20 of the
following year he was elected pope
He was crowned March and has,
therefore been the supreme temporal
head of his church for a few months
more than twenty-five years
For many months it has been a mat
ter of common knowledge that the
pope's health was failing. From time
to time reports of the most alarming
character have come from the vati-
can, but the pope has. with a
vitality that astonished his ply
sicians, recovered and appeared in
public, taking part in exhausting
ceremonies of the church. 1t is appar-
ent now. however. that the end is near.
The bodily machinery that has served
the pOntif well for close to a century
is fast wearing out.
The death of Leo viii be a distinct
loss to Europe. He has been recog-
nized for years as an important factor
I'm the preservation of peace between
the European powers. When troubles
have seemed imminent. the pope's
friendly offices have always been ex-
erted in the direction of good under
standing and good feeling. It is well
known fact that he has ever been
specially friendly toward the United
States
No matter how engrossed he has beer
In the weighty affairs of his Office, how
ever grievously he felt his years and
the infrmities attendant upon them. it
has been his invariable custom to re-
ceive American visitors in audience
and he has lost no opportunity to ex-
press his cordial regard for America
and Americans

In some of the Swiss valleys the in.
haoitants are all afflicted with gOitre
or thick neck Instead of regarding
this as deformity they seem to think
it "a natural feature of physical devel-
opment, and tourists passing through
the valleys are sometimes jeered by
the goitrOus inhabitants because they
are without this offensive swelling.
Thus a form of disease NAV become so
common that it is regarded as natur-
al and necessary condition of life. 1t is
so TO large extent with what are
called diseases of women. Every wo-
man suffers more or less from irregu-
larity, liberation, facilitating drains
or female weakness, and this suffering
is so common and so universal that
many women accept it as a condition
natural and necessary to their sex.

is unnecessary. The use of DR.. Pierce g

Congressman Griggs was asked this
morning if he was still for Hearst, and
he said:
II certainly am. I never change my
choice during a campaign"
Judge Akin said:
Hearst has made a great fight for

see why, if nominated, he should not
carry the democrats to victory"
