oVER-zsALous PROSECUTION.

THERE Is SUCH a thing as over
zealoUsness, even III running down
people Who are accused OF crimes and
misdemeanors. 4 case in point is af-
fOrded by the government prosecution
Of one Edward Rose of lilo. Hawaii.
Rose was a clerk in the pOstOffice. at
Hilo- Some weeks ago he decided to
return to his home in Philadelphia.
Possessed with the notion, or perhaps
the obsession, Of appearing well on his
arrival, Rose wore away a Panama hat,
valued at 81, the property Of another
clerk.
Behold, he had not been on the high
seas more than three days when a fed
eraI grand jury, convened, no doubt,
for this very purpose, returned an in
dictment against Rose. In this indict-
ment he was charged with wiIfuIIy TAX
ing away the property Of another, to
wit, one Panama hat of the value of
81 in lawful money OF the United States,
with -felonious intent. TO convert same
TO his own use and to permanently de-
prive the owner thereof.
News Of the Indictment of Rose was
duly cabIed to Philadelphia. on the
arrival Of the euIprit there he was met
by a United States marshal who placed
him under arrest. Then Rose was
taken. before a United States commits
sioner, who decided that he must be
sent back to HiIO. halfway around the
world, for trial Two deputy marshals
have been assigned to the arduOUs duty
Of guarding this desperate criminal on
his return journey. They Will; of course,
be under the painful necessity of as
sessing mileage against the govern
ment. going and coming. at a fat rate.
The expense Of returning Rose to Hilo
viii not be less than S1,000, and the
amount may be considerably higher
than that before the deputies get
through. But the dignity of the nation
and the majesty of the law must be
upheld. If it costs $4,000 to try Rose
for stealing a 81 hat. he must be tried.
The chances are that ne will be acqUit-
ted when the hearing comes on, but
with that the government has no con-
Germ. It viii have done its duty when
the trial is ended
And, in the light Of this procedure,
we tremble 10 think how far the gov
eminent would send to get a man who
had stolen a scent cigar.

MUST DO SOME WORK .

CAR LAkERS generally are not
showing the interest they should
show in the efforts now under way to
make Salt Lake the permanent home
OF the American mining congress. This
city is the natural site for the head
quarters OF the congress 1t is the CEN
ter Of a vast extent OF mining terri
tory. It is easily accessible from every
direction. Viewed from any standpoint,
salt Lake is the best possible place for
The congress to take up its abode.
But the desired result cannot be OBJ
tanned without some hard work 1t is
necessary FOR Salt Lake to send a large
and enthusiastic delegation to the meet
ing Of the congress which is TO be held
at Portland, beginning Aug. %. At this
meeting the permanent location OF the
headquarters VIII be decided upon.

one Of them win win if the honor is not
awarded to Salt Lake
The geographical advantage is on
our side. Denver is at one extreme
boundary of the territory most inter
ested IN the congress; Portland is at
the other extreme boundary. Salt Lake

our geographical advantages viii avail

UNJUST CRITICISM.

BECAUSE JUDGE PARKER, through
II his private secretary. notified the
William 5. Devery club of New York
City that he would receive Mr.. Devery
and some OF the members OF the organ
ization, an esteemed contemporary. the
Philadelphia North American, INDUCES
IN some satirical remarks. Il says,
though there is nothing in the record
10 show that it speaks truly, that Judge
Parker invited Mr.. Devery and his club
TO visit him at Esopus. and continues:
When he goes. Judge Parker's SON
in-law, Rev. Charles Mercer Hail, an
Episcopal clergyman ana a man OF ex-
eTnplary character, viii, we assume,
meet him at the station and drive him
in the judges Wagonette to Rose
mount There the judge viii receive
him on the porch. He viii sit at
luncheon with the judge and his family,
and he and the judge will confer about
the campaign That Is the regular pro-
gramme for callers at Rosemount."
The comment concludes with a not
particularly complimentary recital OF
Mr. Devery's work as chief Of police Of
New York. While we had ceased long
since to look for anything like fairness
in Republican newspapers, we confess
surprise at the attitude Of the North
American, for it is usually very fair
indeed in its comments on ali subjects.
1t is not at all likely. as the North
American very well knows, that Mr.
Devery and his friends win lunch with
Judge Parker and his family And II
they did we fail ts-see why it should
cause any disturbance whatever. More
over, if We had to choose between Mr..
Devery and a negro we are free TO say
we would choose Mr.. Devery. and be
very thankful for the opportunity.
Moreover, Mr.. Devery can probably
show as clean moral slate as that
honored friend and counselor Of the
president, Gas" Addicks of Delaware.
He is also as clean in every respect
as was Mr.. Roozevelts other intimate
and adviser. the late Senator Quay.
Really. the North Americans candidate
for the presidency is not SO strongly
housed that the North American can
afford to throw stones.
