New York cap no longer boast tina,
In Cemral Park il has n breathing
spot big enough FOR all its citizens.
The park is crowded. There is no
room for pedestrians. People driving
horses are forced to seek other
roads. The automobile Is driving all

OF Central Park. and now there is
not room enough wen for the gaso-
line tanks on wheels.
The condition has become alarm
ing. There are over 15. 1000 automo-
biles owned in New York City. and
on certain days the great majority
of this army of cars seem headed
toward Central Park. On Sunday af-
ternoons, for instance. the drives are
so %congested with automobiles that
there is scarcely room for them. let
alone for horse vehicles. There is a
constant stream of big and little
auto-cars. leaving no room for any
thing else on any of the popular
drives In the park. while as for pc
destrians daring to cross In their
path It seems practically suicide to

M'cARTY AND SUTHERLAND.

II IS not overstating the case 20 say
that the most interesting feature of the
very interesting newspaper pat out by
The Herald yesterday, TO Utah people,
was the correspondence between JUS
tIce McCarty of the supreme court and
George Sutherland, United States SEN
ator, and one OF the mainstays of the
Smoot machine. 1t pains The Herald
exceedingly to observe this friction
among the Republican brethren. for
Justice McCarty spoke out as Repub-
lioan, but we are trying hard to bear
up.
If the people of the state had fol-
lowed the advice The Herald has been
giving them there would have been no
public row between Justice McCarty as
Justice McCarty and Senator Suther-
land as senator of the United States.
They might have fought sincerely and
bitterly as citizens, but not as officials.
There would not have been any Smoot
machine to run rough shod over the
necks of Justice McCarty and other Re-
puhlicans; instead there would have
been peace and quiet and order.
Now the boys can lam each other
as heartily and as Justify as they please
over the distribution OF the political
leaves and fishes. They can lay on
from now until the cows come home.

OLD TIMES, OLD FRIENDS, OLD
LOVE

There are no days like the good old days,
The days when we were youthful
When humankind were pure of mind,
And speech and deeds were truthful;
Before love for sordid gold
Became mans ruling passion,
And before each dame and maid became
Slave to the tyrant Fashion,
There are no girls like the good old girls
Against the world I'd stake 'em,
As buxom and smart, and clean of heart
AS the Lord knew how to make 'emi
They were rich in spirit and common
sense,
And piety all supportin';
They could bake and brew, and had
taught school, too,
And they made such likely courtin.
There are no boys like the good old boys
When we were boys tOgetherl
When the grass was sweet to the brown
bare feet
That dimpied the laughing heather
When the pewee sang to the summer
dawn
OF the bee in the billowy clover.
Or down by the mill the whp-poor-will
Echoed his night song over.
There is no love like the good old love
The love that mother gave u.s.
We are old old men, yet we pine again
For that precious grace-God save us
So we dream and dream of the good old
times,
And our hearts grow tenderer. fonder,
As those dear old dreams bring soothing
CLEANS
Of heaven away off yonder.
Eugene Field.

prison FOR LYNCHER.

n man who participated actively In
the lynohing of three negroes has Just
been convicted of conspiracy at Sails
bury, North Carolina, and sent to the
penitentiary for fifteen years, there to
perform hard labor until the expiration
of his term. This is decidedly an in
novation in North Carolina and in
deed. in the south generally. There
may have been similar convictions in
other states, but they have been accom-
plished so rarely that the total is very
small. Fifteen years is not a very
heavy penalty for a lyncher
The law does not regard it as muir
der, in the strict sense of the word, to
join mob and hang or burn a pris-
cner, but morally it is murder. The
victim has no chance whatever for his
life and the mob often does not take
the trouble to ascertain definitely that
the alleged criminal is guilty. Innocent
men have been made to suffer death at
the hands of mobs, and, innocent or
guilty. every prisoner is entitled to an
unprecedented trial, a fair hearing before
an impartial judge and jury.
North Carolina has vastly enhanced
its reputation for law and order by
convicting this one lyncher. It seems
a pity that he could not have been pun
ished more severely. but an example
has, nevertheless. been set up. Another
point in this case is worth noting. The
convicted man was not the prominent
citizen" that, according TO the press
dispatches, is usually first and foremost
in promoting mobs. He was an ex-
convict. with perhaps a private grudge
against one or more of the lynched
negroes.
This prominent citizen" business has
always been wildly exaggerated. The
really prominent citizen is nearly al
ways a good citizen, and good citizens
bave the highest regard and respect
for the law Of the land They do not
organize mobs and they do not become
members Of mobs. There may be occa-
sional exceptions, but as a general rule
mobs are made up Of the lower stratum
of society, Of men with criminal in
stincts, meier do weels, loafers and
This class can and will be deferred
from joining mobs by fear Of the peni-
Tertiary. Let them once understand
that they are likely TO be sent to prison
for a considerable period Of time for
their unlawful acts and they will soon
acquire fixed and settled aversion for
Inobs.

The IRRIGATION CONGRESS.

At the request OF F. ]. Kiesel, execu-
tive committeeman for Utah o. the ma
tional irrigation congress to be held at
Boise next month. The Herald again
directs attention TO the official call for
the formation of that organization. The
dates of the meeting are Sept. 3-S in
elusive, and it is expected that large
delegation will be present from Utah.
In some cases those entitled TO appoint
delegates have not taken that action.
This is doubtless the result of an over
sight. Now. in order that no mistake
can be made, The Herald presents here
with the personnel OF the congress:
The permanent officers of the con-
gress.
The president, vice president and
members Of the cabinet
Members OF the United States senate
and house OK representatives.
Governors of states and territories.
Ambassadors. ministers and ether
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1906-08-13

representatives of foreign nations and
colonies.
Members of state and territorial irri-
cation commissions.
Fifteen delegates appointed by the
governor of each state and territory
Ten delegates appointed by the mayor
of each city in the United States of
more than $4,000 population.
Five delegates appointed by the may
Or of each city in the United States of
less than $4,000 population.
Five delegates appointed by each
board OF county commissioners or
boards of county supervisors in the
United States.
Two delegates duly accredited by each
chamber of commerce, board of trade.
Commercial club or other commercial
body in the United States.
Two delegates duly accredited by
each regularly organized irrigation, ag-
rlcultural or horticultural society in the
United States.
Two delegates duly accredited by
each regularly organized society of en-
gineers In the United States.
Two delegates duly accredited by
each irrigation company, immigration
society,", agricultural college and each
college or university having chairs of
hydraulic engineering or forestry in
the United States.
These appointments, in cases Were
they have not already been made,
should be made at once ana the names
OF the appointees forwarded promptly
to M. B. Gwinn, chairman OF tho cx~
ecutive committee, at Boise, This is
necessary in order that suitable ar
engagements for the reception and en-
tertainment OF the delegates can be
made. The greater part of the time at
Boise will naturally be given over to
the business of the congress, the read
ing and discussion Of subjects pertinent
to irrigation.
The citizens of Boise have. however.
prepared a most interesting program
or entertainment. Every visitor will
find something that will interest him
after the sessions are over. Those who
know Boise need not be told of the I'M
limited hospitality OF her people. Those
who have never visited Idaho's alto
gether delightful metropolis have before
them a treat that they cannot afford to
miss.
