HERE'S A DADDY'S SONG

Must all the songs be mother songs,
My bonny baby boy?
Do poets write no other songs,
That fathers name employ?
Why, then, I'll right the monstrous
wrong:
Come, boy, and hear thy daddy's song.
But first tess high in the air,
To hear his merry shout,
And then tickle here and there,
To bring the dimples out,
And then romp upon the bed,
Oh, precious little tousil head!
Now, then, wee barefoot boy, take care!
Run swiftly DER the floor,
And fatherll be bruin bear,
And growl and bite and paw!
Why. bless us boy what himpsy stuff!
Dads song is rag time, sure enough.
There, now of play we've had our fill,
'Tis cuddle time | know.
How very bright his eyes are Silly
s'Hush, baby mine, by-loww
Come, come, you little rascal you,
Dads had enough of peek a-boo.
Hush, hush, my boy, to sleep with thee!
Il wish his mammy'd comeD
Thy father turn into bee
II longer he must hum.
All, we'll, to lull child to rest,
A mothers song perchance is best.

"ZULEKA" SHOW

Was Closed-Three Street Gam=
blers Were Arrested by Depu-
ty VIM. Carroll Others Skip
and Leave Their ParaphernaIia.
Deputy Sheriff VIM. Carroll,
armed with warrants sworn out
by Judge Davis, arrested three
street gamblers by the very eu-
phonious names OF John Doe,
their real names not being
known. The arrests were made
on the street Wednesday after
noon, and so neatly was the
work done that the grafters had
no chance to be given tips. BY
the time the three were taken in
tow several others who had
charge OF the wheels OF fortune
"ducked," leaving their para
.phernalia, which up to date
has not been reclaimed. Officers
were placed IN a very convenient
position to the outfits, and had
any OF the owners returned for
their goods they would have
been nabbed.
The grafters for some reason
conceived the idea that they
could do most anything on the
streets they wished - perhaps
they had been given the tip by
someone supposed to be in au-
thority-but they had forgotten
toreckon with the county. News
of the arrests came like a thun-
derboltt to the other fellows. The
three men were gathered in and
taken to the county jail.
The man who induced so many
boys and young men to enter
the tent and see 'Zuleka" and
her attendants perform was also
gathered in for conducting a
public nuisance. The mau in the
big tent near the postomce
should have shared the same
fate. Zuleka is said to have been
a very poor performer, a rank
singer and a most awkward
vaudeville artist. Many a quar-
ter was raked in, however, be-
fore the show was closed.

JoTS BY THE WAY.

Has the bicycle ordinance in regard
to restricted districts become obsolete
and.void in Salt Lake City? That is
what many pedestrians in the city
would like to know. In the face of the
fact that several severe accidents
have been recorded the past few days
owing to the utter disregard of the or
dinance passed for the protection of
pedestrians against injury from reck-
less bicycle riding. 1t seems that
few arrests and fines imposed on the
Wolators of the law might have sa-
lutary effect. Many of the bicycle
riders have become so bold as to try
without warning how close they can
run to a pedestrian without knocking
him or her off the sidewalk, where
the. ordinance says they shall not ride.
Alarm bells and lights are thrown
aside. The users of wheels have come
to regard themselves as immunes from
arrest.

TWO PER CENT is THE BASIS.

The New York Journal of Com
merce and Commercial Bulletin" sup
plies figures that illuminate the merits
of the clamor for railroad rate-making
by the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion.
GAS the Commission states in it's re-
port for 1901, the great mass of COM
plants are handled and disposed of
by preliminary investigation and cor
|respondence or conference with car
riers and shippers. The total number
of complaints during the year 1908 was
SAG; but only "a formal proceedings
were instituted before the Commits
sion, and only 16 cases were decided
by the Commission, or in the proper
ton of one decision to 46 complaints.
In 1904 there were four hundred and
eighty-seven complaints; but only
sixty-two formal proceedings; and
twenty-five decisions were rendered,
several of which were in the nature of
rehearings. Since it was created, over
80 per cent of the complaints filed
with the Commission seem to have
been disposed of informally. OF the
remaining 10 per cent, the carriers
have acquiesced in the Commissions
decision in 8 per cent of the cases.
The practical question raised by the
discussion over the rate-making power
would thus seem to below the re-
naming per cent of cases shall be
passed upon.
"The Commission itself, in it's an
nual report of 1897, remarks that lit
may be true that the people who COM
Dlain of excessive rates are mora IN.
reasonable in the making of this COM
plant than the carriers are in the
carrying of their rates. But it arises
from the lack in these people of a
knowledge of the actual situation "

In the newspapers of the United
States of America and the British EN-
pire we almost daily see expressions
of the greatest indignation at the ul-
ira satanic treatment of the Jews by
Russia. When we say Russia, we do
not mean alone the savages which to
a large extent compose the Russian
Empire, but the governing classes,
who incite their savages to commit the
atrocities, not exceeded by wild In
dians, Turks or Bashi Bazooks. The
newspaper expressions are all right as
far as they go. Unfortunately they
don't go far enough. They don't do
any good to the poor little children,
women and men who are the subjects
of the hellish outrages perpetrated by
those hellish people. What Truth
would like to see would be combina-
ton of the civilized nations of the
world, the United States, England,
Japan and others, by which they would
take joint action in the name of hui
mainly and put an effectual stop to
the murders and outrages. A joint
note to the Russian government
couched in strong and unmistakable
language would have done that long
ago. Even now what little semblance
of government there is left in Rus
STA wouli be affected thereby, and if
it proved powerless to stop the fiend-
ish work the other nations should step
in and do it.

Because of lack of money, there
will be only fifteen bottles of beer for
each man at the dinner to be given the
British and American sailors at Coney
Island today This cruel cutting short
of the quantity is a barbarism that
ought not be permitted, even were it
necessary to call congress together in

Judging from the expressions of ad-
vice-given Ezra Thompson, mayor
elect of Salt Lake, by the Deseret
News and the Herald, we infer that
the results of the campaign do not
cause the ranking. of soul one might
naturally expect.
Since the recent election in Salt
Lake, we have been waiting with al

with exerting some undue influence
during the recent campaign and Pen

With regard to the bestowal of rate
making powers in certain contingent
cies on the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, and the creation of a court
of interstate commerce,-the innova-
tions proposed by the Esch-Townsend
bill-we are now told that leading Sen
ators who are opposed to the railroad
legislation advocated by Mr.. Roose-
welt in his last message, and again
urged in his speech at Chautauqua,
are celebrating a measure designed to
solve the rate controversy without CIV
ing to the Interstate Commerce Com
mission the power to fix rates. 1t is
expected that their bill will be sub
mitted to the Senate as the majority
report of the committee of Interstate
Commerce. The Senators are suffi-
GENTLY optimistic, we are informed, to
hope that the President may be in
duced to give his endorsement to their
measure, in which event there would
4, probably be no protracted fight on
rates during the first regular session
of the Fifty-ninth Congress. Their
bill is based on the assumption that
the exi@ ing railroad rates are not I'M
reasonable. To this conclusion they
are led, they say, by the outcome of
the investigation undertaken last
spring by the Senate Committee on
Interstate Commerce. They admit, on
the other hand, that shippers have rea-
son to complain of the delays expert
enced in court proceedings. They do
not deem a new court needful, how
ever, to obviate such delays, but as
sert that the desired end can be
reached by providing for much greater
expedition in the trial of interstate
