THE NEW PACKING HOUSE.

T HE ANNOUNCEMENT that the
packing house project. launched
some months ago by James c. Leary, is
to be built at once, cannot fail 10 be
gratifying Intelligence to the people Of
Utah and of the intermOuntain country.
The benefits to be derived by the public
from the undertaking are obvious. Salt
Lake is today practically in the grasp
of the meat trust. Local consumers
are compelled 10 pay the prices charged
and fixed by the trust. Local raisers of
livestock are compelled to ship their
animals to a point designated by the
trust and TO accept for them whatever
the trust chooses to pay.
As Rome was not built in a day, so Il
Will not be possible to realize immedi-
ately the benefits of the new packing
house. But that eventually it will give
this section cheaper meats and the
owners Of livestock higher prices for
their product, there can be no doubt.
The local concern will be saved the cost
OF freight rates going and coming. The
first saving will be on cattle rates and
the second on rates for dressed meats.
This puts the institution in first-cIass
shape for competition with the trust

HATS I'M CHURCHES.

A MOVEMENT has been started in
~ Salt Lake for the removal of wo-
mems hats in the churches. While it
may seem cruelty wrong to advocate
such a measure when Easter Sunday
will be coming along in a few weeks,
there is no good reason why women
should not remove their hats at church
services. In the theatres no woman
thinks of sitting through performance
with her hat on.
1t is true there isn't as much to see
in church as in a theatre, but some
people like to see the preacher as well
as to hear him. This they often find to
be impossible because of a splendid dis
play of millinery between them and the
pulpit. Another argument in favor OF
the removal of hats in churches is that
a beautiful hat is likely to take the
mind of the woman WOrshipper off of
the services.
Mind, we do not go on record as say
ing that a woman would rather look at
a pretty hat-and plan one for herself
to beat titan hear a sermon. Not by
any manner of means do we believe
such a thing. But the frivolous. and
they are the ones the church wants to
reach, are likely to be distracted by the
bonnets. Therefore, the bonnets should
not be worn during the services.
However, we are perfectly willing to
grant a stay of proceedings until after
Easter Sunday. In this we do not ex-
pect the support of any mere man. The
men will be strongly in favor of insti-
tuting the rule Immediately, for some
of them are mean enough to want to
save the price of an Easter bonnet. It
viii be agreed that a bonnet that can
not be seen is not worth while, especial
ly on Easter Sunday.
So let the present method Of proceed
Ure prevail until Easter Sunday of 1905
is a thing of the past. And, rather than
be nasty about it, we are perfectly will
ing to make an exception of Easter
Sunday every year. The rest of the
time, though, women should keep their
hats off during church services.

SENATE BILL NO. 20.

7 HE ACTION of the house in killing
U senate bill No 20, which would give
cities the power TO condemn water
rights, subject, of course. to abundant
safeguards, should by all means be re
considered. There is no valid objection
to the bill, and it looks very much as
if some CT the mem ers had permitted
a prejudice against public improve
ments for cities to run away with them.
There is nothing sacred about wa
ter right. 1t is not thing before which
practical men are expected to fall down
and worship. The law makes it posi-
BILE to deprive the citizen of his home.
if the home is needed for public pur
poses, and whenever water right is
necessary to the public welfare it
should be possible to condemn it.
Under our present statutes it is posi-
bic for a few obstinate individuals to
block the progress of a city toward the
securing of an adequate water supply.
This Notwithstanding the fact that the
city would be willing to give TO those
men all their rights are worth. The
senate bill would do away with all this.
At the same time the privileges of no
citizen are placed in jeopardy.
All proceedings must be had in
court of competent jurisdiction. The
city must show first the absolute urgent
necessity for the water il seeks to corr
denim. If this necessity cannot be
shown. and shown to the entire salts
faction of an unbiased judge. the pro-
ceedings end at once If the urgent
need can be shown a jury of honest
men passes on the value of the water
right and awards the compensation.
More, after the value of the right has
been established the jury must go fur
Their and award to the defendant any
damages he may sustain to his prop
erty. Thus, if man has farm, and
if he depends upon his water right to
make his farm productive. it is clear
that his farm is injured by the loss c-S
the water right. The jury gives him
the full measure of such damages.
1t does not seem to us that anything
could be fairer. 1t has been urged IL
opposition to the bill that a city could
go here and there and anywhere and
take water away from anybody and
everybody. This, we submit. would not
be possible. Need for the water must
be shown first. Then the value of the
water would be so great in many cases
that no city could afford TO condemn it.
one member of the legislature de
cIared that a city might take away
from mining company water actual
" needed i'm the operation of the mine.
Could it? Let us see. \ mine that is
worth working must possess intrinsic
value. Could any city in this state buy
a producing mine in order to set the
water right attached to it? Certainly
not.
The only purpose Of the bill is to pre-
vent the holding up of cities by men
who. under present conditions, have
cities at their mercy. We doubt very
much II condemnation proceedings
would be necessary in many instances.
They might never be necessary, for.
with the right TO condemn in the hands
OF cities, the obstinate ones would soon
come to fair prices for their holdings.
The house Will do no better work in
its dying hours than the reconsider
alton and passage of senate bill No. 20.

So much for the plain tale that Ibsen
tells. Now for the symbolism which
he meant should lift the play clear
above the sexuaHty of the apparent
theme. There is nothing occult mys-
tic, or in any way perpleXing in his al

type Of man who is self-centered. utter
~ selfish in purposes, ideals and ambi-
lions; who sacrifices all ties duties and

FRITZ Scheff has made her debut in,

There is a belief among the men
who make amusementS to sell that
musical farce whether of the Ameri-
can kind or the English, won't be mar
keta BILE much longer. Already the pub
lie rejects much of it and buys more
carefully than hitherto. That IS why
some musical comedies, made out of
standard plays, such as Lady Teazle'
from THE School for Scandal and
The Duchess of Dantzic" from Ma
dame Sans Gene" have been offered
handsomely. That is why, also, that
''Boccaccio'' is revived in the hope that
old comic opera may gain new vogue.
But it Is done with no Astounding faith
in Won Suppe's pretty composition and
certainly without the faintest respect
for it. The play is reworded with cur
rent slang and local gags in the man
ner OF our song and-dance farces. Louis

Not for that scene, which after all
is intensely dramatic though repellant
but for all manner of crudities the
condemnation of Mile. Marni'' is pro-
nounced without a dissenting voice.
In such an instance of unquestiOned
failure it is interesting to look for a
reason why the producers nave been
misled as to the quality of the play.
Amelia Bingham is her own manager.
and brave liberal. ambitious one.
She has brought out this piece in a
most costly fashion. Its cast carries
large salaries. It's feminine costumes

of the Fabienne kind of heroine, with
her theatric showiness, and Misa Bling

she has had several severe lessons, that

can't do well with strongly emotional
roles She ought to remember that her

breezy, affectionate, good humored

are the right ones for her.
