A Fake Prize Fighter.
Downey looks well fed and has

Has Seen Better Days.
Harrington is getting on in years,
and has seen better days. He was
good one in his prime. Like Tommy
Wallace he has been shifted from one
city to another all through his career
by the "Ay bulls" who have per-
sisted in giving him the Fhyer" out
Of town, and telling him If he hadn't
money to buy a "rattler" ticket, to
"count the ties" or "hit the
brakes"
The "Klondike Kid" got his namo

northern goldhelds, where II was told
that he trained with the "Soapy"
Smith crowd and "salted" claim.
Like Harrington, his rule of his life
has been to stay in one city after the

Owing to the fact that the city is

he "Ay bulls" find themselves bur

TALKS ON IMPURE FOOD SHOULD BE ENFORCED
Governor Folk of Missouri Gives His
Opinion as to What Laws
Are for

st Louis, May Ex-Governor Folk of
Missouri, addressing the central Bap-
fist convention tonight, said:
missouri has an idea that means the
enforcement of law Laws that are not
enforced add just so much to the sup
port of good government as sores do TO
the strength Of the human body Law
breaking has become aldrmingiy com
mon. 1t is one of the greatest dangers
that cOnfTonts free government, for
when all laws are ignored there can be
no such thing as free government
Many men obey the laws they like. but
think they have political liberty to
disobey the laws that are obnoxious to
them The trust magnate looks with
adherence on the pickpOcket who
violates the larceny statute. but con-
siders it entirely right to break the
laws against combinations and mOnOpO-
lies. The boOdler detests the law break
ing of the trusts. but considers the law
against bribery as an infringement on
his personal liberty. The dramshOp
keeper regards the law against murder
as good, but the law against operating
his dramshop on Sunday is. in his
opinion, puritanical and tyrannical. II
each citizen were allowed to determine
for himself which laws are good and
which laws are bad, and to ignore the
laws he considered bad, the result
would be anaTchy-we would have no
laws at all Fhe only safe rule is that

must be observed. There has been too
much of making laws to please the
moral element and then not enforcing

vice to the Butchers and Retail
Grocers' Association.

City Food Inspector J. J. Meyers met
with the Butchers and Retail Grocers
association last night at its hall in the
Jennings block and discussed the pure
food situation.

shipped into the Salt Lake market" he
said. This organization is strong
enough to demand pure food or not
handle the manufacturers goods Salt
Lake has simply been the dumping
ground for a number of packing houses,
but with your assistance we can put
a stop to it. I have served notice on
different packing houses TO the effect
that if any more shipments Of cheap
behring's and bacon are cOnsign= d to
Salt Lake they will be prosecuted.
There are certain brands of canned
goods and extracts that have been
tested and found to be impure
After the city food Inspector had fin
isned his talk the association took the
matter under consideration It was de-
cided TO start a crusade against the
impure food supplies and a list viii be
made out of the various brands and

condemned and not be permitted TO be
sold in the city markets. II will then
be up to the commission houses to
handle only such goods as have been
found cure.
The first carload Of soap without pre-
miums was shipped into Salt Lake yes
terday since the association refused to
handle any brands that gave premiums
for wrappers. The association took
steps in this direction several days ago
and the members have agreed to ham

supply or hand has been disposed Of.
State Food inspector John + Peter

LUDWIG NlSSEN'S ADDRESS
WOES ATTENDANT UPON MUNIc-

Atlanta, Ga, May 16.-The annual
gathering Of the National Association
Of Manufacturers Of the United States.
representing more than three-quarters
of the thirteen billions Of invested cap
1tal Of this country, assembled here
To-Day. Three hundred members were
in attendance The first thing on the
regular programme was the annual
address Of President D. NJ Parry of
indianapolis.
The report of Secretary Cushing Of
New York reviewed at length the work
or the association under various de-
scriptive heads.
Ludwig Nissen of New York spoke
on the governmental relation of pub
lie franchises. The address was large
" devoted to a discussion OF the IN
AmeT1canism of governmental owner
snip OF public utilities. He said in
part:
Going to Other Extremes.
'-The present trend OF public opinion
In the effort TO check the evils of con
troll by monopoly Is toward the other
extrene-municipa or state owner
ship. The relation Of that principle
would mean state socialism.
The gross injustice Of the public
service corporations is unquestiOnabIv
the cause for the now general demand
or the unthinlking public for a system
or municipal or state ownership of all
public utilities
This system, 81 long continued. must
snd VIII inevitably lead. first, to mu-
nfcfpal, then to state, and finally to
national ownership OF public utilities.
Outlook Appears Dark.
'Tf these principles should ever be
put into general practice I'm this coun-
try the result would be the destruc-
ton Of our liberty and our progress
We would go from wealth to poverty
from progress to Iethargy and from
liberty to slavery, because We should
live in q state Of socialism which
aims at equality with the lowest in
stead OF teaching to aspire TO the
highest. You would crush individu-
ality.
AS a remedy for these conditions
/ would offer the following hints:
'Ffrst-AH public service corpora
tons should be under strict sIlrveiI-
lance Of the authority that creates
them
SecOnd-Whenever a charter or
franchise is granted it should be
granted only on condition service rem
deTed by such corporations shall be
adequate TO the public needs Such
charter or franchise should not be al
lowed 20 be given away, sold. leased
or mOrtgaged with those Of any other
corporation except under terms care
fully specified by law"
