For Thin

Fat is of great account
to a baby; that is why
babies are fat. If your
baby is scrawny, SCOTS
E m uls ion is what he
wants. The healthy baby
stores as fat what it does
not need Immediately for

babies are happy thsNdo
not cry they are rich
their fat is | a id up for
time of need. They are
happy because they are
comfortable. The fat sur
rounds their little nerves
and cushions them. When
they are scrawny those
nerves are hurt at every

THE CHICAGO ELECTION.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS took close
l to a column Of space in its report
of the Chicago election to explain how
Harlan happened to be defeated Mr.
Harlan himself said there is not much
that can be said Of my defeat; the
figures tell the story" To outsiders who
have followed the campaign closely and
are familiar with the record of traction
corruption and robbery there. the ex-
: plsnation of Judge DUNES success
seems quite as simple as Mr.. Harlan $
comment on his own defeat. The peo-
pie of Chicago want municipal owner
ship; Mr. Harlan did not. and that ac-
counts for the result at the polls.
Oven before the advent of the no
torious Yerkes, the street railways Of
the city had been the subject of corrupt
legislation and private boodIing. When
Yerkes came. there followed such a
saturnaliaof municipal debauchery as no
city in this country ever saw, save pos
sibly Yerkes' home, Philadelphia Coun-
cilmen were bought like cattle; IegisIa-
tors might as well have borne Yerkes'
brand; the courts were corrupted that
the street railway company might es-
cape adverse verdicts in damage suits;
juries were bribed in the same cause,
the sworn officers Of the law were COM
mon hirelings Of the company. This,
mind you. was not a secret process;
the newspapers knew it and published
It, the corrupted city officials laughed
at it. purchased councilmen, Haunted
their dishonesty acquired wealth in the
face Of the public. and the whole people
helpless and impotentIy wrathful
prayed FOR the time when they could
wipe out their city's disgrace and
avenge themselves on their faithless
employees.
After they had tried reform councils.
after they had found the courts unwiII-
ing or unable to help them. after they
had been betrayed in the council. the
legislature, the very courts they had
: created, the people turned TO the one
avenue Of escape they could find-muni-
cipal ownership. Chicago, politically. IS

Mr.. SMURTHWAlTE's CASE.

To ONE UNFAMILIAR with the
technical rules of Mormon church
procedure and considering only the eff
feet of a given action. it looks very
much like as though the excommunica-
ton of c. A. Smurthwaite had laid the
foundation for trouble in the future.
Mr. Smurthwaite made specific
charges against the head Of the church.
They may not have been made in prop
er form. they might better have COM
piled more strictly with the letter
of the law in such cases, and still they
were charges of a nature that would
much better have been heard and
passed upon than to have been evaded
as they were.
Naturally. President Smith is d bet
ter jud of his own course than any
one else, yet it would seem to have
been the better part, the greater Wis
dom to have permitted the presentation
of the Smurthwaite charges waving
any technicalities the quicker to ST
Ience any question as to their truth or
falsehood.
The innocent man has no fear Of
charges when he mas ample opportunity
TO meet them; and the surest way to
scotch A falsehoOd is to let in the light
of fact but under the procedure fol-
lowed. AIr. Smurthwaite has been Civ
en- the status, right or wrong, of a man
who is the victim of his own courage
and the power of an opponent who
would not go into court.
Unless history is to reverse itself. the
episode is calculated to rouse inquiry
as to the reasons for dismissing Smurth-
waite without a hearing on the attack
he made, particularly as the chief &C
tive accuser against him has been left
untouched Of a counter-charge indictinS
him in the public mind Of violating
both the statute and the church law.
There are innumerable people in Utah
who believe that the immunity of God
dard from prosecution in either the civ
il or the church courts is a precedent
that must inevitably return to plague
the authorities responsible for his pro-
lection.

ness is a serious menace: the financial
difficulties alone are enough to sppaI
any city administration: the possibility
of absolute domination of the city by
organized employees of such an institu-
ton are not to be confronted lightly.
Knowing these difficulties and dangers,
the people of Chicago yet preferred
them to the prospect of indefinite auto
cratic domination by a coterie of CAPT
talists in control of their streets. who
had no regard for the city's welfare,
for its future, or for the comfort and
convenience of its citizens.
The report Of the election says the
victory rs attributed, among other fac
tors, TO the most up to-date socialism"
Exactly SO: and the traction companies
have no one to thank but themselves
for educating the people in socialistic
lines IL the men who organized the
street railway lines and then loaded
them down with millions upon millions
of watered securities, had even pretend
ed to give Chicago some return for the
great special privileges conferred by the
city. there would have been no such
revolution as was wrought in the poll
tics of the city ON Tuesday. The meas
ure of socialism implied in municipal
ownership of street railways was forced
upon the people and accepted only after
years Of endeavOr 10 escape the alter

There is a local moral to the Chicago
tale Municipal ownership OF the street
railway lines is afar off because the
franchises have years to run and the
political situation is not of sort to
encourage - move in that direction if
il were sound business policy But
there is a distinct growth in favor of
relief from the public service conditions
now existing. and unless the company
