If the suppression of the social evil
is the end aimed at by the vice crusa-
ders, they have Undertaken a job
which has been an unsolved problem
for centuries. 1t is pretty generally
acknowledged that its eradication is
impossib BILE and social reformers every
where long since abandoned their at
,mpts to suppress the evil, and have
striven to confine it within certain
prescribed limits. guard the habitues
of such sections by police and medical
regulations and minimize the evil by
surrounding it by every possible pre-
veDtive against its spread and of its
communicating influences. As we'll
attempt TO dam the ocean with sand
hill, as to crush out the social dis
ease.

The sentiment in this city is large
ly divided upon the course pursued
by number of ministers, in their
crusade against vice. Not so much
upon the question of attempting to
suppress and regulate it as the man
ner in which the work mas been un-
dertaken. There are many good
Qhtistian people who do not approve
ofthe sleuthing work of these minis
ters. Our Judgment of the manner in
which the work has been undertaken
has not changed one particle. We do
not believe the ministers should be-
come, spies. infoimers, detectives,
prosecutors to follow the work of re-
clamation ard reform. We believe.
too, that those who have engaged in
the work will see it in this light be-
fore the work they have undertaken
has been finished.

Our conception of fourteen inch
rainfall is simply nothing, as few if
any have been residents of tropical
country. where such a rainfall is only
possible. This amount of rain fell
in Cuba in five hours ACCOMPANIED
with the rainfall that dependency of
this country. in a way. was swept by
a terrific hurr icane causing destruc-
ton to life and property. While Cuba
may offer abundant opportunities for
investment and settlement by Ameri
cans. there are places on our soil
which look far more attractive to us
than that tropical island. with its
great tropical storms. And the first
one of these places in our mind is
the Grand Valley. one of the most
favored portions of the whole country
where the conditions of life are about
as equitable as fond upon any por-
ton of the earths surface.

a three column editorial in the
Rocky Mountain News of this morn
ing gives the details of an attempt at
boycott of the News and Times. At
least that is the construction Senator
Patterson places upon the holding MP
of advertising matter by the mer-
chants of Denver and the refusal upon
the part of the people at Cripple
Greek to purchase his papers because
OF the course pursued by Senator Pat
terson's two papers. The editorial
does not state, in fact says it is yet
undetermined how far there is a CON
certed movement to withdraw patron
age and because the movement was
not fully developed. Mr.. Patterson
makes but slight argument in behalf

The very active manner m which
the work for the building of the lew
fair grounds goes forward. gives
promise that Mesa county will not
long be without first class fair grounds
and all the necessary buildings for
display of horticultural, agricultural
and live stock exhibits. 1t is a mat
ter of extreme qualification that this
county, so large and becoming so
wealthy, has begun a work which will
provide a permanent place for holding
an annual exhibit of its resources the
products of the soil, its mineral
wealth and ali other products. 1t
should command the active sympathy
ana interest of every citizen who
hopes for the future welfare of this
section. 1t will easily lead as the

There is selfish aspect to the cru

In conversation with one of the
ministers engaged in the crusade work
against vice in the city. he was asked if
there was much precedent among the
clergy in towns and cities for the
manner in which the work was I'M
dertaken here. He acknowledged that
there was not aud even questioned if
they had not taken a wrong step in
the manner in which they had pur-
sued their work. The minister refer-
red to is broad minded and fears not
to acknowledge an error, if h9 can be
made to see it in that light.

There are other reasons why the
posses in pusuit of the Rio Grande
robbers and hold ups ceased their
pursuit of the bandits. A primal
one was that the amount of the re-
ward offered by the companies direct
" interested was so measly that no
man cared to risk his life, for the
benefit of a corporation which placed
such small value on their capture and
conviction. 1t might be said that
the escape of the bandits is bearing
fruit in another hold up on the North
ern Pacific railroad Thursday. The
price paid for this holdup was the loss
of the life of trusted en- gineer. Due
re gard for the lives of their employees
who constantly risk their lives for
the companies shonld have made them
liberal in the reward offer ed for the
capture of the Rio sGrande bandits.
The man hunt would have then been
prosecuted with such vigor that they
must have been eventually rewarded
by either capturing them or running
them 20 their death. The abandon
ment of the hunt for the Rio G-ande
hold ups placed premium upon the
hold up business, uDqusstionably.

Our editorial published a week ago
ON Love. relative to the functions
of the ministry, created much more
comment than we ever anticipated for
it. 1t was on a line of thought
which has had considerable exposition
in this city by DIR, John p d. John
in his great lect are OF the "Three
LIS" the word love being rep
resentative of one of the LIS. We
gave it no special thought and said
that it was simply record of indi-
vidual opinion We are now convinced
that there was measure of good in
it that we had not anticipated. This
conclusion is reached because several
publications have discussed it. one
with the weapon of ridicule which is
the greatest compliment that could
have been paid it. as ridicule is the
resort of Incompetence and inability
to answer. Two ministers were suffi-
GENTLY interested to discuss it with
tho writer in the office of the paper.
And while quite few condemned it,
no less than fifty took personal pains
to congratulate the paper upon its
publication.

NINE ROBBED
Rich Ore Stolen by Trusted
Employees Is Shipped to
the Selby Smelling Works
Special Dispatch to The Call.


RENO. New, Dec. For the past
four months a number of men have
been systematically robbing the Con-
solidated Virginia mine in Virginia City
of its richest ore and have been ship
ping it to the Selby Smelling and Lead
Works. near San Francisco. 1t is esti-
mated that more than $4,000 worth OF
the richest ore in the mine was stolen
and turned into gold at Selby's.
The theft was discovered by an en-
Ploye OF Selby's. who recognized the
last consignment of ore as coming from
the Consolidated Virginia mine when
il was supposed TO have come from an
other mine in Nevada He Immediately
reported the matter TO Superintendent
McKinty of the Consolidated Virginia
mine. who visited Selby's for the pur-
pose Of investigating the affair.
McKinty returned last week and i'm
mediately discharged four of the most
trusted men in the mine. Arrests may
follow when an investigation now be-
ing made is concluded
The manner of stealing the ore was
very easy. The GRE is sent from the
shaft to the dumps. where ii is sorted
and the poor ore is thrown over the
dumps. Instead of throwing away the
poor ore, however, the richest quartz
was thrown over the dumps. This
would be gathered up by accomplices
at night and shipped to Reno in wag-
ons. where II would be loaded on cars
and sent 10 Selby's.

Los ANGELES. Dec. 1T is now
believed that three men were impli-
Gated in the robbery of the Wells-Far-
go express car on the Santa Fe over
land train Monday. during which Ex-
press Messenger Roberts was fatally
shot, and the San Bernardino officers
and railroad detectives believe they
have all three Of the men in custody
The prisoners are n. r. Fitzpatrick. n
former railroad fireman and miner.
Charles Weis. a hobo. and Garfield
Williams, negro hostler They are
known to have been in the vicinity of
The scene of the robbery at the time
1t was committed. Fitzpatrick was
captured at Ludlow by Sheriff RaIphs
or San Bernardino County and a posse
of Santa Fe detectives. The Sheriff
says that he believes the prisoner is
the man who fired the shot which
killed Roberts
Fitzpatrick was seen to leave Rob-
erts' train at Daggett before the rob
berry was discovered He was traced
10 Borate. on the Salt Lake road. and
from there to Ludlow. where he WAS
taken into custody as he was trying TO
read the dispatches the operator had
received for the Sheriff.
Fitzpatrick admits he was in Dag
sett when Roberts train arrived. but
says he was a mile west of the depot
Al the time. which is positively dis
proven by Section Foreman John Mar
tin of the Salt Lake Railroad. who fec
ognized him as he leaped from the
Overland.
1t is believed the money taken from
the Nells-Fargo safe is buried between
Daggett and Borate. When Fttzpat-
rick alighted from Roberts train he
wore a cap which he later discarded
for a slouch hat
Charles Weis. the hobo, was arrested
by Railroad Detective Mulvane and
when put through the sweating pro-
cess made such admissions that ii was
decided To hold him. Weis admitted
that he was riding on the front end of
the express car out of Needles He saws
when the train reached Lavick. Mes
senger Roberts opened the door and
ordered him to get off the car and then
looked TO see if there were other hobos
on the front end. He declares that Il
others were on the train he did not
know it. This is not believed and the
officers expect to establish it as a fact
that Weis either had something TO do
with the robbery and murder or knows
who committed the crime.
Fitzpatrick was seen with a negro
the day before the robbery. The negro
is believed to be Williams. who was
brought to Los Angeles. but arrived
too late TO be identified by the dying
messenger. Williams has been taken
to Daggett TO see if he can be identi-
fed as the man who was with Fitz-
patrick. If he is so identified. it will
be a strong link in the chain of cir
cumstantial evidence against him.
The search for the money will be
continued daily by the officers. Until
II is found there can be no positive evil
