On a steamer Of her dimensions sew

Are the marine architects TO stop en-
larging these ocean steamers? It would
seem not, as it is reported that the
managers of the Haiserln's line have
already determined TO build a steam
ship a little in excess OF 500 feet In
length and so commodiouS as TO be
able TO receive and pack away the
contents Of fully laden slXty-car

left for at least $500 passengers, to
say nothing OF n crew and attendants

tended widow OF the dead wretch Cref-

Concentrations on this tempting sub
tect are useless, Untl more is known
OF psychology, and until law and con-
ventionality can be better applied TO
creed organizations and the permitted
teachings of so-called religion, It is i'm
possible to cover the subject with any
one aphorism. But in tho particular
case Of the Crefneld creed It would
seem that there need to have been no
such double chapters OF tragedy with
perhaps a third covering the trial of
tho Mitchell girl and her undoubted ac-
complicc, Mrs. Cref1leld. The diabolism
of the teachings by Crefleld WAS
known; II came under the notice of
the officers of the law. The Mitchell
family knew that the young woman
had been wronged by the pretended re-
liBious leader. He was, either degen-
crate criminal or he was insane, or
both. In any case the law had = right
to take cognlzance OF him and his mis-
deeds There was and there Is no sane
iity properly attaching TO freedom OF
faith which could have protected him
from an honest, intelligent and vigor-
ous prosecution; and had the officers
OF the law acted. as was their sworn
duty, two homcides and two trials
might have been spared TO the connu-
nifty. The community did not lose any
thing by the Staying OF Creffleld, but
1t is a pity that In 81 civilized country
that was the only remedy apparent to
young Mitchell. In Mltchells death at
the hands of his sister there may have
been also mercy to himself, for doubt
less ho would have preferred death to
life under the circumstances. Even II
the law shall put the Mitchell woman
and tho Creffleld woman out of the way
as murderers or as insane creatures,
society Will lose nothing of value by
losing them.
But 1t Is pity that In this age OF
| supreme enlightenment the system of
| cur civilization Is so faulty that 1t
cannot check these things before they
reach the tragic stage of human
slaughter. How would st be to let the

NO THIRD TERM.

Tho insistence by many newspapers
OF the country that Theodore Roose-
welt Will be reuominated for the Pres
idency, and that he Is now willing 10
plan for such denomination, Is lack
ing I'm both good taste and fairness
Wherein uttered by his friends 1T Is
unseemly: wherein uttered by his op-
ponents 1t is unjust.
Nothing I'm the public record, and
nothing I'm the accredited private ut
terance of tho Chief Executive OF this
Nation, justIhes any Inslnuation that
ne Is seeking denomination. that he
is conducting his high office with a
view to a denomination, or that he
would consent to a denomination. on
the contrary, MS two open declarations
on this subject are Enthusiastically
against the theory that he is now or
could be q party TO the idea of a third
term for himself. Immediately after
his election to the Presidency, follow
ing the term Of three and q half years,
which he filled in lieu of the lamented
Mckinley, President Roosevelt une-
Guivocally announced to the world
that he would not under any olrcum-
stances be candidate TO succeed
himself after tho present term. Not
long ago when q devoted friend wrote
to him on tho subject President
Roosevelt authorized the secretary OF
his office to distinctly disavow the
possibility OF his being a candidate.
Events over which neither Presi-
dent Roosevelt nor any'polltical party
has control might make an emergency
in 1908 which would be regarded by

sibly come to be regarded by President
Roosevelt himself. as constituting such

No man in public life IN tho United

go down into history as the man who

CREED INCULCATEs CRIME.

One Of the most awful chapters OF
pretended spiritual influence misused
and of religion misunderstood Is the
second chapter in the Holly Roller"
tragedy I'm the State of Washington.
A depth OF horror was revealed In the
first when George Mitchell shot to
death the Infamous Creff1eld-the local
leader OF the sector running his sister
and breaking up his fathers family.
The WOO would have been sufficient IL
the whole volume could have ended
there. or rather with the justified ao-
ouittal of Mitchell when he was tried
for murder
But the dead mans mallgn influence

this city declared itself in favor OF
transferring a portion at least of the
burden OF taxation from real estate

the improvement Of property by MAX

able purpose. and II there was any
way under the law TO reach It. it would
be both practicable and helpful.
But, we have n State Constitution.
And such a Constitution! Its tax pro-
visions are shaped on the models OF
old-fashioned commonwealths which
In their time knew nothing OF rail-
roads, OF stocks. bonds. and the null
tifarious forms Of securities now Is
sued: even very little of mortgages.

with the result that so far as tho
State government is concerned no

controls its OWE rate Of taxation, its

and everything related to public sup

raised at regular rate upon all the

The Tribune had no wish to reopen
this part of the controversy, but the

who now degrade these same noble

VAIN SMOOT BOOSTING,

The foolish and useless efforts Of the
Smoot press bureau, TO boost Into
high estimation of the public the Utah
delegation In Congress, still continues.
The very fact that the bureau must
devote itself TO an enlargement on this
subject is proof that the component
parts OF the delegation are not large
enough in their individuality or in their
service to be noticeable except through
a magnifyIng glass.
With the attempt to excite public
favor, where it Is little or not at all
deserved there might be no occasion
TO find fault, If 1T were not associated
with a charge that denial or disregard
of Shoots pretended merit is venom
Gus abuse The press bureau OF the
apostle cannot content itself with
nero Munchausen-like yarn Of his
wonderful ability. usefulness and popu-
larity at Washington, and the subor-
dinate but still momentous service OF
his aides or coadjutors In the church
work at the capital OF the Nation; but
the bureau must Insist that every one
stories at ono hundred cents on the
dollar is animated by hate and bigotry
and vindictiveness and all the other evil
things that go TO make up ill-nature.
Now The Tribune may as well con-
fess that it does not take the SmooJ
delegation In Congress as being COM
posed OF three statesmen or possessing
~,
three nicer men than Smoot. Howell
and Sutherland, If you could keep them
where they belong, 1t would be difficult
TO find In the ranks of tho Smootites;
but they are not eminent I'm the station
to which they have been called and set
apart, Smoot Is a nice man, and is, as
his friends declare, "a rattllng good
business man"-full of energy, vim and
resourcefulness: determined to get
ahead In the world, and not troubled
too much by qualms, Sutherland is a
nice man. Il clever lawyer, an agree
able companion, and-as the attorney
for corporations-not particularly af-
fIcted by any undue regard for the
rights of the public. Howell is also a
nice man.
But when these three stand alongside
the giants Of the Nation in the Senate
and House. their inferiority is so
marked that none but a craven syco-
phant or falsiher or both would have
the temerity to say that they measure
up TO the requirements.
All the press bureau boosting and
the Mormon pulpit pounding cannot
make big men OF the three little men.
