A LAME DEFENSE.

The Reno Gozette publishes letta:'
from one in St. Louis, defending jim
Yerington from the criticicm of the
Appeal According to this party IN
ST. Louis. Jim is the most remarkable
man that has ever been sent by any
State to St. Louis. He attributes
these criticisms to political rancor.
! Now the Appeal has been very len
lent with James and confined itself .
mostly to the simple facts regarding ,
hte humilating record of the Nevada
exhibit at St. Louis before the Fair
was half over The facts are that the
Commission received twenty Thousand
dollars to run the exhibit, and, having
recklessly squandered the money, are
compelled to call for help.
Now the Appeal has from time to
time criticised the business methods
of Mr.. Yerington years ago before he
was candidate for Congress and they
were much more severe than they
have been since the last failure he
made.
The Appeal has always been on rec
ord against him as not in any way
suitable person to represent the State
at the Fair. He was appointed by
Governor ColcOrd some years ango and
has been running the stunt evt'
since. For the last ten years or more
we are under the impression that this
has been his main source of income
during that time.
Now the Appeal has a mass of in
formation fin its possession abou4
the St. Louis matter and we believe
the less said about it the better. It
is sufficiently humiliating to every
citizen as it is.

MUST BE UNANIMOUS.

IT IS ANNOUNCED that only one
canal company in the Salt Lake val
ley is holding out against the Utah lake
irrigation project. -Four of the five cor
porations interested have reached an
agreement. It is most unfortunate that
one. the South Jordan company, should
continue to refuse to join with the 9TH
ers. If this attitude is continued the
Utah lake proposition cannot be carried
out. The government will take no ac-
ton until the water users have reached
a unanimous conclusion.
Unanimity Of purpose has always
been insisted upon by the government
representatives. They win not under
take anything in the nature Of an irEi-
CATION enterprise against the will OF
any irrigation companies I'm the district
To be benefited. If the South Jordan
stockholders can be persuaded to re-
scind their action Of last week, their
demand Tor a larger proportion of wa
ter than the other corporations are to
receive, the government viii proceed
with the construction Of the Utah lake
reservoir.
1t is hardly necessary at this time to
go into a discussion of the merit Of the
Utah lake project. That has been very
definitely settled. The farmers and the
people generally i'm this valley viii be
benefited almost UNNECESSARILY by it.
The owners OF the South Jordan com
pany viii be benefited with the rest.
Certainly they will not be injured in
any way. Nobody is asking them to
make any great sacrifice. And il some
small sacrifice We're involved il would
be their duty as good citizens to come
in with the majority and give their
heartiest aid to great public under
taking.

DRAWS COLOR LINE.

W LILLIAN HARTLEY, n murderer
condemned to die in Pittsburg on
May 3. has entered a strenuous protest.
He doesn't object to dying, but ne does
object to dying on the same scaffoId
with a negro murderer. Hartley de-
clares he has never associated with ne
grOes I'm his life. and he doesn't desire

pany with a black man. And he makes
this plea, not so much on his own ac-
count, as on account Of his relatives.
lie said to the sheriff:
There's one thing I would like to ask
YOU, sheriff. I would not like to hang
with a negro; not because it makes any
difference 10 me, but 1 have relatives
I'm every state I'm the Union, and it
would appear that I had committed a
crime with Il negro il were to hang
with him"
The sheriff has not decided what
course he viii pursue. Certainly Hart
ley's plea is entitled TO consideration.
his relatives, who esteem him most
highly just now, would lose their re-
speet for him IL he should be dropped
into eternity within a few inches Of a
negro. The disgrace attached to his
crime and the penalty therefor is as
nothing compared with the odium that
is invariably heaped upon any white
criminal who dies with a negro.
The president of the United States
dined with a negro, but we don't sup
pose the president would like to have
it said that he died with one. Even
Mr.. Roosevelt would probably draw the
line there. And still the step Is not so
very long. The elimination Of a single
letter from the word "dined" gives us
died" 1t isn't so far, is It? We hope
Hartley's request viii be granted. 1t
won't make any difference in his des-
tination beyond the grave. but it may
make his relatives feel better.

A REUSED, PERHAPS, by the cruel
- lynching OF a negro in Springfield,
Ohio. some law abiding people in the
south have started. through a camp of
United Confederate veterans. an anti
lynching crusade that may attain large
proportions. The veterans appeal to
other camps and to the wives and
daughters of veterans everywhere TO
discourage and discountenance the
burning Of human beings, which is
described as "diabolical, unlawful, in
human and un-Godly." They would
put a stop to lynchings Of every char
acter for any offense except one. as
sault. Then they tell us. by Inference.
that the criminal should be taken out
and put TO death without unnecessary
cruelty.
The Herald Is glad to see the south
take this question up with some pros
poet OF energetic action. The Confed-
crate Veterans are as great a power
in the south as the G. A. r. in the
north. If they unite in an effort to
stop lynchings their work cannot fail
to bring forth good fruit. It seems a
pity that the originators Of the move
ment could not include all offenses in
their crusade. Still we should not ex-
pect everything at the beginning. Up
to a few years ago negroes were almost
never lynched in the south except for
assault. Now they are lynched there,
and elsewhere, for numerous other Of
lenses.
As the evil has spread from lynch
ings for assault TO lynchings for other
crimes. 50. if lynchings for other crimes
can be stopped it is quite possible that
lynchings for assault can be stopped.
1t is no more q crime TO mob a negro
because he is accused of murder than
TO mob one because he is accused of
the more horrible crime. There is a
difference in the degree of the culprit's
Offense. but not in the offense of the
mob. Every individual that partici-
pates in a mob that does murder is a
murderer in the eyes Of the law.
1t is greatly to be hoped that public
sentiment will be so aroused in the
south that even the lives of negro Grim
inals will be safe from mob violence,
that the law will be permitted to take
it's course in all cases. OF course the
south will always have lynchings just
as there win be Iynchings in many
other sections of the country, but there
need not be so many, and there would
not be so many if public sentiment
against It could be maintained.

years ago. We used Crane paper for
our service letters in those days, and
every endorsement an employe got
when he left the road would be writ

had a crane-the bird-for a water
mark and this bird would be in all
sorts of positions on the paper. Some
times il would be standing straight up.
sometimes on a slant, sometimes with
one foot lifted. or upside down. and
in every old shape. Well this was al
purely accidental. But Those railroad
men got the notion that this bird was
a sort of code arrangement between
the railroads, and no matter what the
writing might be, the position OF the
ctrd conveyed the real meaning. They
figured that the bird standing straight
with both feet on the ground meant
that the bearer of the letter was al
right. III the bird had its wings eX

BASEBALL.

CNOW OR 40 SNOW we want to talk
y a little about baseball. Before
Inany days the grounds viii be dry
enough for practice, the men who are
to wear the salt Lake uniforms will be
working the winter stiffness out Of
their joints and the great baseball pub
lie will be getting a line on what they
can do. Great game, baseball. 1t is
the only real American game. We have
tried other games. but when all is said
aud done there never will be a sport
al popular as baseball.
It is a survival Of the fttest. Base
ban lives because il. is clean and man
~ because there are fewer opportuni-
ties i'm 81 than in any other form Of
sport for jcbbery and fraud; there are
fewer chances for men to be crippled
or killed. Best Of all. none Of US are
so poor that we can't see a game oc-
casionaily. Automobiling, polo, golf
tennis. most Of the other sports that
take one out Of doors. require expen-
sive outfits And few of them are in
terestinE to the people that look on.
For baseball you need only fifty
cents. Sometimes you can get in for
half that much. Baseball IS essentially
"A spectators game. The players get a
lot Of fun out OF It. too. but with most
of them it is a mere matter Of routine
The average professional ball player
can make very much more at baseball
