Washington, Feb. 10.-In the execu-
tive session of the Senate to-day Sena-
tor Daniel spoke in opposition to the
ratification of the Panama canal treaty.
He was answered briefly by Senators
Fairbanks and Spooner.
Senator Daniel did not criticise the
administration for anything which had
transpired on the isthmus, but did ad-
wise that the government accept the
Nicara guam route as the only one for
which title can be secured without ma
tiouaI dishonor. He was congratulated
warmly by senators on both sides of
the chamber for the character Of his
speech.
The question Of having printed for
the benefit OF the Senate the speeches
which are made on the canal question
in executive session was decided in the
negative.

CRIME IN SALT LAKE.

lHHILE IT Is TRUE that an unu-
w sual number of crimes of more
or less serious nature are being COM
mitted ln salt Lake Just now there is
10 occasion for excitement or alarm
among citizens generally. We would
advise stOrekeepe-s I'm the outlying dis
tricts, however, to arm themselves 20
the end that they may be ready to Of
fer prompt resistance in the event that
they are visited By highwaymen. Ad-
hitting that the highwayma1 usually
has the advantage, still there is often
chance for a cOurag eOus man to ga.n
q victory.
The Herald would avoid all possible
blOodshed, but there is no surer method
of discouragtng the hoId-up industry
than TO Kill few highwaymen y
criminal Of this sort is entitled to no
consideration whatever. He goes OUT
prepared TO kill his victim il necessary,
and when the intended victim has a
chance to do some shooting on his own
account he should not hesitate TO &C.
ceDt IL
The police have caught me Of the
criminals, but they have not been able
10 round ali of them UP. In times such
as these we are apt to think unkind
things about the police department,
even If We do not say them. There
never was in this whole world a police
department that could not be Grill
cized adversely on some point The SAT-
Lake force is not all that it should be,
but it is certainly doing the best it can.
There are many difficulties in the way
of catching highwaymen. Let US take
a suppOsitious case, but one that often
happens.
You are walking along on a dark
sidewalk. Suddenly a man with a
handkerchief tied around his face just
under his eyes steps out from behind
a tree and levels a revolver at you.
You are fustered, naturally. You
throw up your hands at the word OF
command and you lose whatever valu-
ables you possess. Then yon are or
dered to proceed homeward as rapidly
as possible. Do you think you coulI
identify the highwayman beyond the
peradyenture of a doubt?
II you are honest you. know you could
not identify him. The only chance to
catch the fellow is In the event that he
pawns a watch or other article that
can be identified. He may say some
thing about the affair to a comrade
who viii tell the police These are
about the only ways the officers have
Of catching highwaymen. Is it any
wonder that so few of them are brought
10 prompt justice? Sooner or later.
though. they are all caught and pun
ished. Let every criminal. actual or in
tending. remember that.

should this year receive more votes
than the Republican candidates, and
the party is SIN in existence when the
next general election comes around, the
next nominees Of the party will, of
course, be entitled to the second place
on the official ballot. The Republican
candidates viii then be relegated to the
third position. If the American parry
nominees viii work hard. and if their
organization works hard. it is barely
possible that they viii get more votes
than the Republicans.
Speaking seriously, however, It seems
to US that entirely too much import
ance is attached TO the various posi-
tons awarded the party candidates on
the official ballot Our contemporary
declares that the placing of the Be
publican ticket first and the American
party ticket third makes II harder for
American party voters to vote for their
state and county nominees and for
Roosevelt electors. This is a doubtful
tribute to the intelligence Of American
party adherents.
The Australian ballot is not a new
or fearsome thing any more Any
BODY Of ordinary intelligence can vote
Tor whatever candidate he pIeases with
out invalidating his ballot The po-
sitlons occupied by the respective can
didates on the ballot viii make little
difference. The political convictions OF
the man who votes the first ticket he
hnds on his ballot. regardless of
whether or not 1t contains the names
OF the candidates he desires to win,
are not very well grounded.

MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING.

THE ESTEEMED EX-ORGAN of the
l Republican party in Utah throws
several different kinds of fits because
the American party's ticket has been
placed third on the official ballot. The
ex-organ processes 70 believe that a ter
rible crime has been committed. For
our own part we cannot see any oc-
casion for Mysteries. The American
party ticket is certainly not entitled
10 place between the Democratic and
the Republican tickets.
In every state in the Union it is the
custom. if not the law, 10 place first
nm the official ballot the names Of the
candidates of the party that received
the highest vote at the preceding gen.
eraI election. The candidates Of other
rarties are placed as the votes were
cast This year the Republican ticket
IN Utah is without question entitled to
the first place on the ballot The Dem
ocratic ticket is entitled TO the second
place. THE American party ticket hav-
ing gotten on the ballot by petition,

clerk desires to place it, but 1t must

Some FOOLISH YARNS.

hard to believe that partisanism could

Say That Until There Is n Decided
Change Don't Buy.


New York, April 29.-Every little
while there comes a lull in the cotton
business when the interest in the mar
ket diminishes to lowest possible ebb
and there is not enough trading for
even professionals to make money.
The present appears to be one of these
Cotton is not low now and when COM
pared with some of the price of jan
uary and February is it high? But 131ac
is high when compared with SC or sc,
prices current the last few years, and
for this reason it is not sound bust
ness to be bulling cotton unless the
trend of prices is Enthusiastically to-
wards higher level.
The effect of this refusal on the part
of Liverpool to respond to efforts
made for higher prices here has caused
widespread disappointment among
| holders and increased the indisposition
to buy cotton. If Liverpool will not
even hold prices, will local advices
takes it's place? There is certainly no
cause for anxiety on the part of con-
sumers in this country. Prices for the
remainder of the season will be deter
mined by the action by the spinners,
and as long as the English consumer
fails to show any anxiety over the
question of his supply, indications are
that there will be enough cotton to
go around even with the moderate
crop. 1t looks this way at the present,
and money is never made by ignoring
facts, dsagreeable though they may
be-.
Until decided change takes place
in the cotton market we can't advise
the purchase of cotton any more than
we did last week.
