 KINGSTON, N. Y., Sept. 1.-Taking their cue from the successful operations of the automobile burglars of Long Is- land, a gang of cracksmen in this vi- cinity has commenced business. That the gangs are different is proved by the fact that while one worked here the other was similarly occupied on Long Island.
 Early in the morning three men and a woman, all masked, entered the postofiice at Highland. They blew open the safe, secured $500 in money and $500 in stamps and escaped in an au- tomobile when residents, who had been aroused, came on the scene.

A SHAMEFUL FALL DOWN

The lack OF confidence by the fnan-
cial public in the business capacity and
honesty OF the present County Commits
sioners was shown painfully on Mon
day which was the day fixed for the
opening of bids for the refunding OF the
$3.50 900 OF county bonds which were to
be taken up. But there was not bid
submitted and this In spite OF the fact
that the Commissioners recently paid
the expenses of one OF their number'
Mr. Miller. to go East on this particular
business, and in spite of his report upon
his return that he had arranged with n
Chicago bond-buyfng firm for bid
on the whole issue a. n lower rate of
interest than the outstanding bonds
bear.
Incompetence such rs this is n shame
full stigma upon this county. OF course.
the financial strength and good credit
Of Salt Lake County is not really on the
low and contemplate plane where the
operations of the Commissioners place
them. This county's financial ability is
absolutely unassailable, It's standing is
above reproach. But a set of lntompe-
tent officials, ignorant of business ways
and obivjous to ordinary financial
methods, give the county this black
eye, and expect the people to condone
the disastrous outcome OF their incom-
petence and contemplate trifling With
a transaction too large for their minds
to grasp. Their designations would be
the proper outcome of their miserable
flasco If they had the spirit OF an ordi-
nary predatory rat
There is not the slightest occasion for
the financial situation of this county
to be on the wretohed basis to which
these Commissioners have degraded 1t
Their want OF foresight and of ade-
ouate preparation In this case Is mere
ly one instance OF their incompetence
are conspicuous at all times for their
wanton and unlawful disregard Of
usual business precautions and sense.
without blinking, they Sc" the county
wronged, and without sen Z the enor-
nifty of their offense. they take part In
the wrongs. They are out OF money al
ready, and are running the county's
business on credit. paying interest on
ordinary expenditures, They ore abso-
loutely incompetent to take charge Of
such extensive business operations as
the county necessarily transacts. And
the worst OF 1t is. that they do not real
lie their lack of ability to meet the
public requirements, The only cure is
IN the election next November, and
then the voters will administer It.

HIS OWN PLEA.

In considering the compact made by
the Mormon church with the Govern
rnent of the United States, and III max
ing determination of the enforcement
Of that compact. the Senate of the
United States VIII not be without a
guiding precedent
When Utah was seeking admission TO
the Union Hon. Jere Wilson, the great
Constitutional lawyer, was employed by
the Mormon church to make plea for
the passing OF the Statehood bill. He
appeared before committees and he Ia
bored personally both with Senators
and Representatives In one of his
public utterances OF the time which
was paid for and ratified by the high
est Mormon church authority, Judge
Wilson advanced the proposition that
Congress could require a special COM
pact, he said that Congress had been
acting upon such a right for more than
three-fourths OF a century, and that
II was too late to dispute the propriety
and the authority of Congress in that
regard. One OF his significant utter
ances was as follows:
In. considering this you will not fail
TO remember that when communities deal
with each other which lis done usually
in the form of treaties, they mutually
rely upon good faith for the perform
ance OF all stipuations between them.
They never stipmlate for a penalty In
case OF violation, or provide remedy In
case OF breach of covenant. Reliance Is
placed upon that high sense of honor
that is always attributed ard conceded
10 the contracting parties
But, not content with the case so
far made for his client, the Mormon
church. Judge Wilson went on to dem
onstrate how Congress could enforce
the compact II there should be any vio-
lation of its terms by the hierarchs In
Utah. He said that 1t would be absurd
to assume that either party could vio-
late the compact without 81 remedy to
the other: and these were his proposals
OF the course which Congress might
pursue toward his client IL the con-
tract with the Nation should be vio-
lated;
Congress could close the doors OF the
Senate and House of Representatives
against them; Congress could deny
10 them voice In the councils of
this Nation because they" had acted
In bad faith. and had violated the SOL
emn agreement by which they sue
ceeded in getting into the condition Of
The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1906-05-16
"ONLY a FEW"

II is interesting to watch and listen
TO the new members of the hierarchy
In order to ascertain from their action
and their speech what Is their general
bent OF mind. Fair opportunity has
been afforded to measure the latest ac-
cesslon to the presidency OF the seven
ties in the person of Hon. Charles II.
Hart, late District Judge of Utah, and
at the time of his elevation prac-
tcing lawyer.
one might expect from Mr.. Hart, af-
ter his years of experience at the bar
and on the bench, some careful reason
ing. but a study OF his sermon delivered
at the Cache stake conference, as re-
ported in the Mormon prints, affords
very little matter for compliment either
to himself or his community. The clos
ing paragraph of the report contains
the one sentiment that departs from the
commonplace. 1t Is as follows.
In some of the neighboring counties the
population is largely GENTLE. In these
these people but where We have only a
few we do not seem TO take much pains
to convert them.
That la a most unusual admission for
a man trained in the subtleties of Mr..
Hart's profession. Where Gentiles pre-
ponderate. as in Idaho most earnest
effort is made to win them TO the true
faith" but where they are SO few In
numbers that they cannot prevail
against the great strength OF the Nor
mon community. as In Sanpete or
Washington counties. I'm this State,
there is very little pains to convert or
even conciliate them. II was candid
but unintentional betrayal OF the meth
cd which the Mormon church authori-
ties pursue. Where there are few Cen
tiles it is not worth while to convert
them, because they can be overriden,
It is only where the Gentiles them
selves have power to override that 1t
Is worth while to attempt conversion or
cajolery.

ALL-NIGHT BUSINESS

Louisville Courer.Journal.
The all-night restaurant and the
all-night saloon arc too old to be re-
membered as novelties. All these
things point out the growing speed of
New York. To expand space and
stretch time-to make an area the
size OF an ordinary room serve for
twenty rooms, and to make one year do
the work OF three-is the great whim of
the city. And now the all-night bank
comes to add its testimony to the citys
mania. Night and day night and day
work: night and day. night and day
pile up the dollars; do not rest; do not
pause, make It twenty-four hours OF
money-earning. This is the New York
idea And so no one need be surprised
to see the all-night bank followed by
the all-night clothing store and this by
the all-night barber shop. and this by
the all-nlght jewelry store, And then
Will come competition. and eventually
Wall street may see the possibilities
and get into the game. The humorous
prophet Will then discover that his
jocular prediction is no joke. and that
New York is. indeed, a swrling. seeth-
ing maelstrom day and night The all
night undertaken ought to have feast
when that time comes!
