IN SALT LAKE.

One Of the unexpected results of the
trip to Los Angeles is the interest
awakened in this city among the cali
foTnians who happened to meet the ex-
cursionists- Naturally, they were full
of curiousity as to business oppurtuni-
ties, and the real esetate men of the
expedition spent good deal of time
answering questions as to realty
values, rental incomes. cost of build
ing, demand for business houses and
residences, and other matters bearing
vestments.
Every Los Angeles man who hearI
the Salt Lakers talk expressed his as
constituent at the comparatively low
price Of property in the business dis
trict here. and numbers Of them
pressed their intention of coming Up
to look over the field for themselves
with a view 10 purchasing groun !.
When the excUrsionists compared
prices there and here it was easy for
them to understand why the Caliror-
mans regard Salt Lake realty in the
business district as a snap" Even the
figures for Main street ground, which
has been held at fairly high prices,
seem ridiCulousIy low when ranged
alongside the valuation placed on
Spring and Broad street locations in
Los Angeles; while the going prices
for property on State. West Temple.
First. Second and Third South str-srs
in no way approach the values of
ground similarly located in the south
eTn city
Of course it is unlikely the growth
of Salt Lake will enable it to reach
anything like the proportions Of Les
Angeles for a decade or longer. and
the income value IF real estate must
necessarily be lower. but the kecnest
judges from that city of real estate
experts were agreed that there is GER
tain to be a substantial and rapid rise
in the value of ground on the mann
streets and those arteries which cross
Main street between the church frop-
erty and Fifth South. Their estimate.
conditions give weight to their judg-
ment-
Whether the sauguine predictions as
to the future of Salt Lake are realized
or not, the Californidns have quite as
much faith In this city as its own
people have and they are making their
plans to reap some of the benefits to
be derived from investments on what
they believe is the ground floor

give some attention TO the remarks of
District Attorney Jerome and of Re
corder Golf. Nr. Jerome said many Of
the newspapers had labored to create
sympathy for the girl, and that the
case had caused one more step toward
trial by newspapers. rather than trial
by jury"
Unfortunately there is much truth
in what he said. As to the newspapers
exerting an influence on the jury there
may be some question, but there can
be no question but that certain New
York journals Iabored hard to arouse
public sympathy for the defendant
And yet the papers were not wholly to
blame. They were merely striving to
present what their readers demanded
and in response to this demand they
printed day after day comments on
the trial by noted writer's, such as Rich
ard lie Caffeine. David BeIasco and
Harold MacGrath. Are these writer's
TO be held blameless, if blame is TO be
attached anywhere?
Recorder Golf. in dismissing the girl,
gave her some good advice. He en-
treated her to remember what she had
passed through. and to let that ordeal
be her guide for the future
Following this comes the girls state
ment that she viii not return to the
stage.
1t is to be hoped she will adhere to
her expressed determination, but we
confess to doubts. Nan Patterson does
not appear to be Of the type that takes
lessons of this kind to heart Rather,
she appeals TO US as belonging to the
class that soon forgets. She is all su-
perhciaIity.
And yet we can hope we do her an
that she has undiscovered
traits Of character that will lead her
into different and better paths than
those she has so far followed.
We would like TO believe the Nan Pat
terson case is ended.

MAN PATTERSON.

She was loudly ChecTed by a crowd
Of 1000 persons as she left the prison"
Nan Patterson was loudly cheered as
she left the prison. What had Nan
Patterson done TO deserve appIause2
This.
She got drunk with another woman's
husband. who was killed while she was
with him In a carriage. She was ar
rested, defended by clever attorneys,
favored by disagr eements in the jury
room and regained her liberty. She
was not convicted Of murder. nor was
she acquitted.
Nan Patterson was not entitled to
honor. Was she entitled TO sympathy?
No, except as We are accustomed to
feel compassion toward all who suffer
for Nan Patterson must have suf-
fered
But Nan Patterson IS no martyr. She
was in the carriage when the man was
killed. and the law had d right to ask
# she killed him
Nan Patterson's history is we'll known
now. It is a story of seIfshness. It
contains not one noble act, not one
true wOmauly sacrifice. She lived for
herself alone.
Those in the crowd knew all this. Yet,
she was loudly cheered." Why?
Because she was a woman, weak
woman who had suffered Because she
had been enormously pictured as a per-
secuted woman. more sinned against
than SHINING
It is easy 10 appeal to the emotions Of
the crowd.
The crowd applauded the unworthy
Nan Patterson and crucifed the Savior
OF the world.

one act of an unfinished tragedy, is
just four acts better Electrically than
this fve-act composition.
Helena Modjeska and Clara Morris
have stood forth simultaneously in ap
peals for theatrical consideration. yet
contrastingly as actresses posed on
pedestals of distress Mrs. Mojeska
Bozenta wanted money with which TO
pay off mortgage on her ranch in
southern California. but she declined as
an indignity TO accept $50. 600 for acting
half an hour twice a day in vaudeville,
and took 5000 at a charity entertain
m nj given in her behalf on the Strictly
legitimate stage. Mrs Morris HaTriOtt
has reproductive husband, like
ModJeska's Count Bozenta, and
mortgaged homestead on the Hudson.
Coincidental with Modjeska s disdain
Of vaudeville, Clara Morris sets out to
earn money with a monOIogue at a
concert hall, and I am glad to believe
that the manager tells the truth when
h says she is paid $500 a week for her
loss OF professional dignity. As to that
well, Modjeska is a great artist. and
no one had to buy a ticket for her en-
tertainment unless expecting TO get
moneys worth.

NEW YoRKs LEGISLATURE.

New York Republicans dread the
after effects Of the unsavory acts of the
Republican legislature that has just
adjourned. IF reports are to be cred
tied, graft and bribery ran wild through
both branches. Decent members of
the legislature were successful in post
pOninE the time for the destruction of
Niagara Falls, but they were unable to
secure the passage of a bill that was
designed to weaken the clutch the
gas trust has on the people OF New
York City A bill to reduce the price
Of gas went down to defeat as d result
Of the mauipUlatiOns of the gas trust
lobby, aided by the trusts creatures
in the chambers, and the people are
loud in their denunciation. The Repub-
fican New York Press takes d gloomy
view Of the situation in long edi-
tortal which closes with this paragraph.
I'VE might have had, We ought to
have had. splendid record with which
to go before the voters of New York
City next November at the mayOralty
election. We have nothing to offer but
humiliation and defeat and disgrace
in a legislature of a clear Republican
majority, with a Republican governor
sitting in the executive chamber. Per
haps when the votes are counted in
Greater New York next November and
when they are again counted in No

publicans who now fail 10 under

by this legislature to their party,
local. state and national. viii then ap-
preciate at its fun the lamentabIe
truth. Alas, perhaps it viii then be
too late to placate the enraged public

DR.. Sedgwick. a mild-mannered man,
accompanies his wife on all her excur-
siOns into crime. With the ffnger-nail-
biting ponderously plotting Rand, and
the squeakily queer Levy, they make
quite a party when they set out to do
dirt. Cassie wears simply elegant
clothes and recoils every time she is
reminded that she used to be known
as Madame de We're in Chicago. This
is flung I'm her face by Rand every time
they all start OH a pleasant robbery
or a merry little murder. Dr.. Sedgwick
protests his virtue, weeps and then
stands in the corner while the gallery
cheers. This tension is relieved by
comic fall from Levy, and sin pro
crosses But the time comes when the
worm turns. The doctor has had muir
der enough that eVening-One old man
Drained and another asphyxiated in
trunk-and he becomes quite peevish
about participating in a poisoning. He
rctires amidst the sneers Of Cassie,
Rand and Levy. and the cheers of the
audience. Little do they know it is
the millionaire detective they are at
tempting to dose when the Queen Of
FTenzied Finance drops a death pill
into his wine. They all turn their
backs conveniently while he throws the
LIQUID away and substitutes a similarly
red handkerchief in the glass and. pre-
tending to swallow the rag. Stimulates
death. Rand feels the heart OF the
supposed Sir Robert, and declares he
is dead
Then ensues the great scene. Sir
Robert is the inventor of a ''resuscita
tor which gives life TO the dead.
Though pronounced defuDct, Sir Rob-
eTt gets onto the machine somehow.
and then perhaps the sparks don't fly!
All Sorts of wheels go round. flashing
forth electric streaks, and weird blue
lights. The corpse is stretched out in
the midst Of these fireworks. They are
eficacious and the ghost walks, or
rather the dead arises, scariRg-poor
Cassie nearly TO death. Rand snarls
curses on the luck" Levy indicates

poLITIcs in EDUCATION.

Nothing could be more unfortunate
for the cause of education in this state,
and particularly for the Agricultural
college, than the effort TO inject poll
tics into its management, as seems te
be the plan of the new trustees appoint
ed by Governor Cutler. So far as APP
pears now. President Kerr has discov-
cred that two Of the professors on his
staff are not in harmony with him, if
