AN EXPLANATION DUE

T WOULD SEEM that an explana-
L ton as TO why the waiter, Ranney.
was permitted To lie on a bunk in a
cell in the city Jail, unconscious as a
result Of a fractured skull. for three
days without medical attention. is due.
The officers in the Jail thought the
man was sleeping of the effects Of IN
toxication. He had been brought in
there with cut in his head and the
physician who examined the wound
found no fracture Nor is the physi-
clan to blame in the matter for, when
there are evidences OF. intoxicatiOn. az
in this case. a fracture Of the skull is
often very difficult 10 locate.
The reprehensibIe part of the pro-
ceeding is the fact that the man was
allowed 20 remain on his bunk for
three days I'm a stupOr. The Jail off,
GERS should have known something was
wrong within twenty-four hours. They
should have attempted 20 revive the
prisoner, and, failing in this, a physi-
clan should have been summoned. Any
doctor, after a patient with a history
such as this has been in a state OF
coma for twenty-four hOurs. would
have begun a search for a fracture.
This, after three days. is what ac-
tually did happen. Ranney is now re-
ported 70 be in a dying condition. II
might not have been possible to save
him if the trephining operation had
been performed the same night ne was
injured, or the next day. Still, II the
man does die. there viii always be he
thought that he might have been saved.
Men accustomed 70 handling the low
characters that are confined in the city
jail from time TO time become hard
ened, and It is natural that they should.
but even city prisoners are human be-
ings and they should receive a reason
able amount of attention and care.
The Ranney case Is not the first in
stance OF its kind. We sincerely trust
it will be the last.

SHOULD AMEND ORDINANCE.

I IS VERY MUCH to be hoped that
the council viii not pass without
amendment the new dog tax ordinance
introduced by request at the last meet
ing. The proposed law gives the city
treasurer the power to appoint a dog
tax collector, and restores the office 10
the old Zee basis. As to the first pro-
vision there are no serious objections.
City Treasurer Harris is responsible for
the dog tax money in the sense that
he is The custodian of the fund He
should by all means have the privilege
of appointing the collector.
The proposition to restore the office
TO the fee basis should not be seriously
considered for moment. There are
many reasons why this is so. but the
most important is that it is unlawful.
The constitution Of the state distinctly
provides that "all state. district. CITY.
county, town and school officers .
shall be paid, fixed and definite saIa-
Ties." And the following paragraph
reads:
Notaries public. boards of arbitra-
ton. court commissioners, justices of
the peace and constables paid by fees
shall accept said fees as their full COM
pensation- But all other state, district.
county, city. town and school officers
shall be required by law to keep a true
and correct account of all fees collect
ed by them, and 10 pay the same into
the proper treasury. and the officer
whose duty it is to collect such fees
shall be held responsible under his
bond for the same
That seems perfectly clear and ex-
plicit- We are told that the city is the
gamer by the fee system. that the dog
tax collector viii be more attentive TO
his duties If he gets half the money he
collects. as under the old regime: that
It Will be impossible to get a good man
70 do the work for the salary the city
can afford 20 pay. The arguments do
not seem sound TO US The work of
collecting dog taxes is not pleasant.
but by the same token the city has IN
pleasant work done in other lines. and
IL has no difficulty in finding men 20 do
IL.
We believe a good man can be found,
one who will attend faithfully to every
duty connected with the position. And
in any event, the constitution must not
be overriden. We have had altogether
too much Of that sort OF thing in this
state in recent years. It is high time
that a halt was called

A WEEK OF WAR.

THE WEEK ended yesterday was n
L fruitful one in the war between
Russia and Japan. The most impress
sive news was, of course, contained IN
the report of the sinking OF the Pctro-
pavlovsk, and the death Of Admiral
Makaroff and 800 men. including the
admiraTs personal staff and the great
Russian painter. Verestchagin. This
was followed by the sinking Of a Rus
sian torpedo boat. in which forty-five
men We're lost. Minor disasters to the
Russians We're also reported, the news
coming. in nearly every instance. from
Russian sources.
u is entirely probable that this week

mentary effect and the thing got 10 be
a terrible nuisance. At length l re-
called a trick I had once heard of, the
essential procedure being to load q,
shotgun with very fine bird shot and
warming the horses hide with the

had. put in big charge of powder and
handful Of shot and went horse hunt

per custom, and 1 let him have il. My
expectation was that he would scream
in pain, jump over the fence switching
his tail in jerky fashion, leave the spot
and never return. He fell dead in his
tracks. One Of the little pellets of shot
hit him in the eye. passed through the
little orifice at the base of the eye
socket into his brain, and killed him in

a trespasser, but the judge was a rela-

only comfort ! got out of il was that

Quired 10 be in perfect physical
health, so when 1 found 1 was Suf-
fering intensely from Catarrh,
went to a Salt Lake doctor who
has the reputation of being a spe-
cialist on Catarrh and Eye and Ear

fight. and they have never failed TO
give a good account of themselves. The
Petropavlovsk was destroyed by Jap
anese mine. not by a Russian mine, as
first reported, and the torpedo boat was
shot TO pieces by japanese guns.
Whether the world win be given the
ws>from now on as rapidly as the
news is made, remains to be seen. The
correspondents have been allowed to
send out only the most meagre dis
patches. ard even those seem likely
10 be cut of in future. Nothing in the
week was more startling that the Rus
sian announcement that hereafter cor
respondents will be looked on as spies
when captured on vessels equipped for
wireless telegraphy. Tr's is a decided
departure from previous usage.
War correspondents have not been in
the habit of sending reports of troop
and battleship movements when such
reports would be inimical to the bef-
ligerent forces with which the CORE
spondent is travelling. The chief bust
ness Of war correspondence is to send
graphic and accurate reports of actual
engagements, together with lists of
killed and injured. and the losses sus-
tanned by both sides, as far as such
details are obtainable. To treat a man
as spy who is in no sense a combat
ant is playing the war game with a
rather strong hand.
However. the correspondents may
find method Of avoiding the censor
ship, and they may rest assured right
now that If one of them is shot as
spy there Will be something doing, with
Russia at the receiving end.
