SUGAR INDUSTRY SAVED.

No doubt a good many OF the SEN
ators are nightly relieved over the
killing of the Philippines bill in COM
quired TO go on record either for or
against it. But, regardless of the feel
ings of senators, the action taken by
the committee was exactly the proper
thing. There should be no disagree
ment on this proposition, in Utah es-
pecially.
If the bill had become a law it would
have struck a blow at the beet sugar
industry here, a blow from which it
might have taken years to recover. In
deed, instead of recovering the stu
alton would have gone from bad to
worse, as more and more sugar was
raised in the Philippines and brought
into this country. There are plenty of
ways of helping the Filipinos without
helping them at the expense of the
sugar industry.
Why not admit tobacco, hemp CT
some of the other products of the Phil
ippines free of duty? The statesmen
in congress. if they feel that they
must do something for the islanders,
will surely be able to figure out the
way In the meanwhile our sugar fac
tories are entitled to and should re-
ceive such measure of protection as
will keep them in a prosperous con-
ditiOn. We need them in Utah and IN
Idaho for there are too few such in
dustries here. The most substantial
wealth is the wealth that is built up by
manufacturing enterprises and coIIat-
eraI industries.
The day when our mines will be bar
rem of ore is many, many years in the
future, but there is no denying the
fact that their tremendous resources
will, some day, be exhausted. Every
pound. of ore that is taken out leaves
that much less to be taken out The
mines are drawing on their capital all
the time. Manufacturing industries
are entirely different. They encourage
the production of raw material and
they transform it in increasing quaint
ties year by year into articles of food,
raiment and other things necessary to
health and happiness.
The death of the Philippines bill will
no doubt be deeply mourned by Presi-
dent Roosevelt, for it was one of his
pet measures. but the rest of the coun-
try will no doubt be able to bear DIP
braveIy enough.

captain WOODS CAMPAIGN.

Captain NJ NJ. Woods. probation Of
ficer Of the juvenile court, is doing a
great work toward keeping boys ont Of
places in which their morals are in
danger of being corrupted. Captain
Woods has written to all the firms that
employ boys in delivering goods and
has warned them that if they send
boys TO disorderly places he will Ger
tainly prosecute them under the statute
that forbids such practices. The pro-
baton officer is thoroughly in earnest
sin his campaign.
The law says that any one guilty of
s encourag ing, causing or contributing
10 the delinquency shall be deemed
guilty Of misdemeanor, the punish
n1ent for which Is a fine of not more
than $500 or imprisonment for not more
than six months, or both. This law
has never been enforced and the result
has been the raising of q crop of very
tough youngsters IN Salt Lake. It was
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1906-03-04

fair and proper in Captain Woods to
issue a warning before beginning pros
ecutions.
Now there will be no excuse for those
who fail to obey the law Those who
persist in sending boys to places where
boys should not under any circum-
stances go, will be arrested and fined,
and they should be arrested and fined.
If we are to have good men in the next
generation of citizens we must have
good boys now 1t is impossible fo- Us
to believe that boys are inherently
vicious and depraved. The average
boy is clean and honest and many. lie
may pick off an apple or a melon that
does not belong to him, he may even lie
a little occasionally or break a window
for the fun of hearing the glass crash, ,
but those offenses do not constitute
total depravity.
An investigation discloses the fact
that the delinquent boys are made 50
by adults. Respectable citizens who
would shudder at the Thought of a boy
of their own entering a low sai0 IN or
dive have not hesitated at sending
other boys into them. Often the boy is
the support of a widowed mother. and
in practically all cases he is the son
Of poor parents. Otherwise he would
hardly be employed as a messenger or
delivery boy.
If there is any degree in this matter
il is a worse crime to make a delin-
quent of the poor boy than of the rich
one, because the poor boy can ill a.
ford TO become criminal. Much good
can confidently be expected to grow
out of Captain Woods campaign

Not for a decade ending yesterday
had I seen Uncle Toms Cabin" per-
formed by one of those companies that
occupy tents in summer and village
Op'ry houses in winter; and, as such
an experience is more amusing to re-
call than to undergo, feel that I may
be too old to go to shows any more
before I want to see the like OF this
one again. It was a Iow-price theatre
that advertised these non-negro Tom
mers. Unless they were a large family
party, 1 can't understand why they
were so bad; for why else should car
fares be paid for such buffers when in
telligent novices are ready to accept
stage experience in lieu of wages. Yet
stay-perhaps, like the transformers
in the comic papers pictures, they walk
the railway tracks instead of riding on
them.
I desired to watch the balconies. for
Uncle Toms Cabin" was new to the
boys up there; but I dared not look
heavenward lest I might see an an
guished apparition of Harriet Beecher
Stowe lowering vengefully over the
theatre The silence of the audience,
except for the coughing and rustling
which indicates a lack Of interest, last
ed until the scene of the whipping of
Uncle Tom by Legree. The slave and
his master were played by the best
two actors in the lot, counting out the
pair of big Siberian dogs cast for
blOOdhOunds. Tom was fastened with
outspread arms to a cross and Legree's
lash struck him with seeming realism.
Then the audience woke up and yelled
its hatred of the villain.
But nobody cared much about Lit
tie Eva-probably there seemed TO be
no good reason why she shouldn't die
and so abolish herself from the stage;
and it was a relief to see her go to
heaven, where she would be happy,
while we would be less miserable
down here without her. She didn't
slide up to glOry-not personally; but
her flight was shown with moving pic
lures. She rode on angel-wafted clouds.

Daniel de- elared that the manufacture of smokeless powder was completely monopolized by the International Powder company. and that not a pound could be secured except from that company. The United States could, he said, build and equip four plants at s25O00 each, pay for them out of. the profits "extorted" from the government in the course of year, and have more than a million dollars left. While the government pays from 70 to so cents a pound, the cost to the makers does not exceed 9 cents per pound MT.

Messages and Papers of the
 Confederacy"

There is no man better known to the Tennessee public than James b Rich ardson, former congressman from the Fifth Tennessee district, and his position as democratic leader on the floor of the National House of Representatives made him a familiar figure throughout the country. Scme years ago Mr. Richard son compiled the sem-offfcial work known as Messages and Documents of the President" which, because of the data 1t contained and the excellent man. ner of the compilation was a valuable addition to the United States history He has now produced another book of similar character, which. though less voluminous will be of equal value with his former work and in some respects of more pointed interest, as 1t covers an acute period in the history of the nation con corning which historical accuracy is very essential
 MT. Richardson's latest production is Messages and Papers of the Confeder- acy." The title suggests the scope of the work. It is the compilation in printed form of all the official papers of the Con- federate government which fell into the hands of the Federal authorities after the southern armies had evacuated Richmond. Comment is unnecessary to suggest the historical value of such q work and it's
 
 the means, leisure or inclination to search through files of musty papers in the archives at Washington
 The work includes tho constitution of the Confederate states and the recorded proceedings of the provisional Congress at Montgomery, as well as the messa ges of the President and other official papers throughout the life of the Confederate government.
 very important feature Is the dlplo- matic correspondence, which shows, among other things, the efforts made by the Confederate government to obtain re- cognition from the European nations.
 The book is complete in two volumes of convenient library size and handsome ly bound in red cloth, with gilt lettering Each volume is embellished with four illustrations. The first presents the Con- federate capitol at Montgomery as a

Florence, March .-tSpecial) )-Much excitement exists in the hills four miles above South Florence over the appear ance of two wild animals of q species which none who have seen them can de- termine. The animals are said to be as large as leopards and of grayish color. Negroes in the vicinity have lorg claimed that there were wild animals in Pond creek swamp, but this is their first ap- pearanee so near to civilization. Some white boys who were out hunting Wednes- day evening came upon some foot prints larger than those made by the largest dog and tried to make their dogs follow the trail but they refused to do so.
