FOLLY OF WASTE.

They are seriously talking Of burn
ing a million bales, or more, Of cotton,
IN the South, IN order to reduce the
supply on hand and obtain higher
prices for the remaining bales. The
suggestion must have originated with
some genius with peculiar financial
Ideas For. what would the gain BET
II the price is forced up and there Is
less to cell, the profit will surely not
exceed that which can be obtained from
the sale Of larger stock at lower
price. The only result Of the trans
action proposed would be to squeeze
more money out Of the consumer,
II the theory OF destroying crops In
order to obtain higher prices were cor
rect. It would be still more correct 20
limit, by government supervision, the
area Of production, In order to prevent
waste II would then DO in order TO
put n limit IN each state to the num-
Der of acres that could be devoted to
cotton, corn, wheat potatoes, ETC., and
the number OF men to be engaged In the
production Of each kind Of crop. And
that principle would, OF necessity,
have to be extended to all other kinds
OF productive labor. II the principle
is correct. we can stop nowhere short
OF a perfectly paternal government
The aim OF civilization has always
been to place within the reach Of the
greatest possible number Of human be-
ings, tho neoessaries and luxurles Of
life one OF the characteristics of
civilized nations is that they have an
abundance Of food, clothing, etc. while
those less advanced suffer from scar
city and are clad in rags. To waste
the abundance OF the earth would be
crime against civilization, The prin-
cple is applied though in another form,
IN some oriental countries by tax gath
erers who appropriate nearly every
thing they can find. They leave no
surplus to vex the owners Of land But
the consequences is eternal poverty and
no progress. stagnation is the conse-
quence Of waste, no matter how ef-
fected.

II appears that the ethical fad on
which Lombroso mas spent 80 much en-
ergy is about TO be reiegated TO the
past. That IL the general fate OF fads.
And, as a rule. II Is well merited.

vised according 10 Or. Edward A.

lie claims that there is really no GRIM

tempt to prove crime to be due to con-
stitution peculiar only to degenerates

not only are there criminals who do not
exhibit single anomaly IN their physi-
cal or mental makeup, but many per-
sens with marked evidences OF abeTa-
ton In structure have never displayed
the slightest tendency to crime. Varia-
tions, he says, sucn as are found in
criminals, exist IN the brains OF per-
fectly normal persons,
The Lombroso tleor has placed the

HERE Is CHURCH INFLUENCE.

Some time ago, Il Connecticut clergy
man, Dr. Newman smyth undertook 10
Illustrate th0plans Of the politicians with
regard TO the election Of a senator. He
has been particularly persistent IN his
attacks upon Governor Buckley, and Il
Ia to be noted that he commenced his
crusade in a Sunday sermon. This
commlngllng Of religion and politics,
church and state, has met with some
criticism but, strange enough with
much encouragement Thus the Wa

Even 50, DR.. smyth, rs a citizen OF
Connecticut has a right TO bring 20

BONDS? YES.

Tho result OF the bonds election will
be found in detail IN another part OF
this paper. The question has been de-
oided IN the affirmative. The Mayor
and City Council are authorized to bond
the city for one million dollars at four
per cent interest per annum, for the
purposes set forth in their address to
the citizens, which, summed up are,
first to secure an adequate water sup
ply for this city. and second, TO provide
sewerage for the south and southeast
ern districts OF this municipality. The
result Is 80 far satisfactory. and the
city authorities will proceed to obtain
bids for the bonds, and then, as soon as
practicable, to push the work for car
rying out the projects for which the
money is required.
we have not the slightest doubt that
the funds thus provided will be wisely,
honestly and economically expended.
It will take time TO perform the work
In view, and much care and patience
will have to be exercised, in the public
interest and the strict compliance with
the terms OF the contracts, but we con-
idently look for the consummation Of
the plans that have been made and the
purpose that has been 80 long held In
view.
There Is a point IN this matter, how
ever, that we do not look upon with
much satisfaction, and that is the
apathy and neglect OF many OF our fell
low citizens, on a public question Of
such vast Importance TO them all as
that which has now been decided. Only
about two thousand votes were cast, on
an issue involving the expenditure OF a
million dollars the contracting of a
heavy debt and the securing Of fun
water supply Cor this city with the
added measure for sewerage for large
district thereof
II there had been O contest for public
office, IN which a party and a few lndi-
viduals We're personally interested to
the extent Of furnishing vehicles to
haul people TO the polls. the voters
would have turned out In shoals and
the election judges would have been
kept busy from morning until eve. The
small vote cast is not complimentary to
the citizens of salt Lake. and we think
Il does not exhibit that public interest
and spirit that might be expected OF
people imbued with patriotic ana civic
motives and virtues Think It over,
friends, and do better another time!
