CAPTAIN CARTER ENERGIES.

If Captain Oberlin NJ. Carter knows
when he is well off, he will go quietly
back to the obscurity from which he
has recently emerged. Garter, it will
be remembered, aided GaynOr and
Greene, contractors, in the theft of
more than 100000 from the govern
ment, He was convicted and sentenced
to a term Of five years in prison. which
he served. Now he claims that his con-
viction was brought about by unfair
methods, and that he is as innocent as
any newborn babe.
1t Is rather late for Carter 10 enter
such a plea in his own behalf The
most powerful influences were exerted
at the time Of his trial to save him.
They failed. For him to come out now
with a protest Of innocence looks sim
sularly like an effort to make capital
for his cO-conspirators who were
brought back the ether day to stand
trial for their share in the crime.
Captain Carter Will gain nothing by
his attitude. either for himself or for
his indicted friends. If there is justice
in Savannah. they win be convicted,
Carter or 10 Carter.

NEW PENNSYLVANIA SCANDAL,

Poor old Pennsylvania is in the throes
of another scandal. The state HAD
$500. 900 on deposit with the Enterprise
National bank of Allegheny. Some
$500 600 of this, it has developed, was
loaned TO politicians on paper that is
practically worthless. Just why they
left the odd $4,000 is not explained.
and the only man who could explain.
the cashier. is dead by the suicide
route. The bank is insolvent and there
may be some prosecutions, although
you can't tell much about such matters
in advance--in Pennsylvania.
It is interesting 10 note that dele
egate I'm congress, Mr.. Andrews of New
Mexico, is heavily interested. Andrews,
who was one of the late Senator Quay's
chief ieutenRnts, and who repoices in
the sobriquet Of Bull" owes the bank
upwards of $500, 900. He borrowed the
money. it appears, in order that he
might finance a jerkwater railroad in
New Mexico. And he does not seem TO
be in a position to make good.
All the rottenness in Pennsylvania
Republican politics did not die with
Quay. He left behind him some wor-
thy successors.

A CURIOUS REQUEST.

Certain citizens Of Texas, and they
are described as good citizens. too, have
joined IN q petition to the governor
practically asking him to legallze
lynchings. They ask the executive TO
refrain from using the state troops for
the purpose Of protecting those guilty
Of criminal assault and TO permit citi-
zens to pursue such offenders and shoot
them down without any form OF trial
or other legal inquiry. 1t is recognized
that a law Of this kind would not look
we'll on the statute book. so it is sug-
gested that the proposition can become
sort of unwritten law.
Governor Lanham, greatly TO his
credit, refused to consider the petition
favOrably. He said: LAS a public on
eial, bound by a sense OF conscientious
obligation, I must uphold the statutes
and resist iawiessness in any form" He
added that, as the executive officials OF
the state have taken an oath to enforce
the laws Of Texas and the constitution
of the United States. they cannot Sur
render the functions of courts and
juries to the unbridled and arbitrary
action of mob rule"
We cannot understand what the peti-
TONERS hoped TO gain. Their pretense
was that the tacit sanction OF lynch law
would have the effect of stopping a pos
sible wholesale slaughter of negroes
II seems 10 US that exactly the opposite
would be reached. Some men, even in
Texas. are prevented from taking part
in mobs by fear Of punishment With
no such fear confronting them they

nuR FLOUR IN CHINA.

The Daily Consular and Trade Re
ports of recent date contains an in
teresting article on American flour In
China, prepared by Special Agent Bur
rill Of the state department who is
making a study Of trade conditions in
the orient. Mr.. Burrill has found that
in 1904 practically all the -four used in
China was imported from the United
States. He is not sanguine, though,
about continuation OF American con-
troll Of this market He says:
1T is known that wheat can be
grown in Manchuria comparing favor
ably with the best quality raised in the
United States, and this. it is main
tained, will lead TO the erection and
operation of -four mills which will be
able to supply a good grade Of -four at
prices far below those at which the
American -four can be sold. Not only
will the cost of production be less, but
the freight and insurance charges will
be extremely low as compared with
rates from the Pacific coast, and the
cost Of labor may be estimated at ap-
proximately % cents (Mexican) a day
With these advantages. the grinding Of
Manchurian wheat into -four by mills
owned wholly or in part by the Chinese
is merely a question Of opportunity and
capital, and that eventually the -four
made in Chinese mills of Chinese wheat
viii control the market of northern
China appears to be equally as we'll
assured"
Again, even If the Manchurian wheat
does not make as good flour as Ameri-
can wheat the Chinese will still buy
1t because it can be furnished them at
a lower price. And. as Mr.. Burrill says.
the price of an article of food is "the
first consideration of 4 Chinaman,"
though the manufacturer cannot af-
ford to wholly disregard the quality of
his product even in catering to the
Chinese.
That there win always be a demand
for high grade American flour in China
is conceded by Mr.. Burrill. but he be-
lieves that within the next few years.
it will be confined TO the 10 600 foreign
residents of Shanghai and a few at
other places. In view of the fact that
a great deal of Utah -four is annually
shipped TO China this state is interested
in the market. 1t is possible that Mr..
Burrills view of the situation is too
pessimistic and that as soon as the ef-
fects of the anti-American boycott die
away the -four outlook may brighten.

QUESTION or VERACITY.
Tilt Between Murphy and District
Attorney Jerome.

New York, Oct. 1S.-Charles T. Muir
ply, In denying some of the allegations
which District Attorney William I. Je-
rome made in a speech last night at
Carnegie hall, said today:
mr.. Jerome said he never asked on
d0rsement by any political party. Mr..
Jerome asked a confidential friend 10
see me on two or three different occa-
sions on his own behalf. He said that
he was anxious TO meet me and to have
q distinct understanding with me. He
even agreed to join the Tammany hall
general committee. III Jerome deniea

rome said today:

on every necessary occasion he is will

1t is rarely that high honor is as
worthily bestowed as in this instance
Of his own free viii and accord Mr.,
Schramm has devoted much of his val

has he been too busy TO respond 10

THE REAL ESTATE FIGURES.

Several well-posted real estate men
nave filed objections 10 The Herald's
story regarding the Increase in the
value of business property. All nave
the same cause of complaint. II is that
the figures we gave are under the mark.
that many other instances of great in
creases in value could have been given.
have taken up at the same time the
question of residence property. Said
prominent dealer yesterday:
y have no hesitation in saying that
there is not a small residence in salt
Lake. bought within the last three
years, that cannot be sold today for
more than it cost, provided the pr-
chaser paid a fair price FOR il. The
value of residence property has in
erased steadily for three years, and /
believe ii viii continue to increase"
The matter will be taken up later by
The Herald. and We are sure the facts
will be as stated by the dealer quoted.
Real estate values are higher, bust
ness is better in spite OF the knockers.
And the way to keep things moving is
TO continue in office Mayor Richard p.
Morris and the efficient gentlemen who
are candidates with him on the Demo-
cratic ticket We do not pretend that
their election would bring about an un-
precedented boom in Salt Lake; we do
not claim that if they are continued in
office real estate prices win soar ire
meudously. We do assert, though, that
"a continuation of the present admins
tration will mean q continuance OF the
healthy. steady progress the city is now
enjoying.
We do not believe the election Of the
American" ticket viii mean anything
nf the sort. We leave the Republican
ticket entirely out OF the consideration
for nobody seriously believes the Re
publicans viii be better than "a poor
third this year. The contest lies be-
tween the Democrats and the Amer
leans"
Many promises have been made by
the Americans" ana their organ re-

however, they have failed TO point out
how their promises arc 20 be fulfilled.
They object to the only feasible plan
for giving the city water that has yet
been prepared, but they offer no sub
slitute. They pretend that a great In
iux Of population VIII begin the mo-
ment the success Of the American
ticket is known, but they don't say
where the population IS coming from.
We are told that outside capital viii

VIII outside capital be invested on a
fabric OF prom.ses2 Are Investors liv-
ing outside OF Salt Lake such fools
that they viii back with their money
a man who was a miserable failure as
mayor as against one who can point
10 a record of honorable aehievem enc?
we hardly think so.
The truth is that the only way TO
continue the admitted prosperity Of
salt Lake City, the only way to assure
our outside friends that our progress

Democratic nominees.

The American" organ says: 1T is
not fair that man merely because he
is the favOrite of a few politicians Of
the church set should be given not
only priority and a 'cinch.' but that
every one else is obliged to stay out
of the race, being deprived even of the
possibility Of an accident whereby he
might win" The owner Of the organ
thought differently only few years
ago. So did the candidate for mayor
on the American" ticket. so did about
six-tenths Of the people who are sup
porting that ticket.

daughter must be treated exactly as
the daughter of any citizen would be
treated; that she must pay full duty
on any dutiable articles she brought
home with her. AS Mr.. Roosevelt is
not a rich man the cost of his
daughters trip to the orient VIII fall
heavily on him. And yet there is no
lawful method OF avoiding the out
lay, although we wish there were.
This is not an ordinary case. Miss
Roosevelt was accorded high honors
and given costly presenss IN the coun-
tries she visited, not because she was
Miss Alice Roosevelt, but because she
was the daughter of the president Of
the United States. II seems a pity that
she, or her father for her, should be
compelled to part with a fortune for
things she did not want and for which
she viii never have any use. It may
be said that, in spite of the fact that
the presents were official in their char
acter. Miss Roosevelt personally will
retain them after her father retires
from Office and that therefore there il
no excuse for RENTING the duty.
There is justice ia this argument. but
the fact remains that the duty in this
instance is most burdensome and that
nobody would be seriously hurt if the
presents could be brought in without
duty. AS this cannot be done under
the law the next best thing would be
for some Democratic member Of con-
gress 20 offer bin providing for the
returning OF the money paid out in
duties on the presents. It is reason
ably certain that such a bill would go
through, and it would not constitute a
dangerous precedent. either.
