must lie at the root of such seeming
self-sacrifice." The Post adds:
Like most ruthless deeds this is
calculated to defeat its own purpose
The peril of the sympathetic young
monarch is likely to win him affection
even among his political enemies. The
congratulations of mankind go out
to him and his bride, for even assas-
stanton is bound to observe certain
decencies. The bridegroom might
have been held exempt, for the day,
by those who regard the crowned head
as the proper taget for their bombs"
Some papers reason from the Mad
rid case that we in this country are
just as much menaced by anarchism
as any European country. To quote
the New York World:
ITO the anarchists of the United
States and Europe the man who con-
cealed bomb in a bouquet and hurled
it into the midst of the royal wedding
party at Madrid yesterday is hero.
To be sure he did not succeed in MUIR
dering the king and his bride, but he
killed some sixteen other persons, and
to the disordered brain of the anar-
chist this generous destruction of hui
man life is great victory for human
liberty.
There was time when tie people
of the United States stood apart and
regarded these crimes as peculiar to
European society. The assassination
of President Mckinley taught them
that the hand of the anarchist is raised
against all government, good and bad
alike. The anarchist problem is inter-
national. 1t has come to concern the
people of this country no less than
the people of other countries. The
hand that hurled the bomb in Madrid
yesterday may hurl another in Wash
ington tomorrow, and yet we are told
from time to time that these universal
enemies of society ought to be treated
with great consideration lest we make
martyrs of them"

The gamblers life is not a happy
one. In Salt Lake at least that is true.
He is made the buffer of political
and other schemers, whited sepul-
chres, who maintain a semblance of
responsibility, but within are filled
with urcleanness. The gambler is
an acknowledged outlaw and there
fore cannot protect himself against
those who while presenting the ap-
pearance of decency and responsibility
are not above making the gambler
their prey. Yet many of the open and
self confessed gamblers are better than
those who assume the holier than thou
attitudes. The same thing applies to
the publicans and sinners who are
designated as saloon keepers and who
dispense liquid damnation to the
"holier" than thou people who con,
sumo it in secret. In every election

Is made an issue. All parties want
their votes but at the same time they
want the votes of the "holier than
thou" people and also the votes of the
honest, genuine, substantial, well
meaning portion of the community.
The scheme of the politician is to

politicians have been doing more or
less successfully in Salt Lake for
years and years. The late Democratic

THE BOMB AT THE WEDDING.

urally excites pity and sympathy in
this country. His subsequent beha-
vior, too, goes to the heart of the
American people. AS the New York
Suns correspondent describes it:
The royal procession was panic
stricken. The king, however, quickly
recovered himself, and speaking
through broken window of the royal
carriage. inquired what damage had
been done. He Immediately sent an
orderly to resasure his mother and

whose duty it was to suppress law
breakers and particularly to uphold
the municipal ordinances. Last au-

bath and above all as the invetrate en-

of good government was to make

The Americans" as consequence,
have been goaded into doing some
thing in order to keep their standing
and after much prodding the city au-
thorities are making a renewed bluff
at stopping gambling. The gambler
is considered the legitimate prey of all
political parties and they don't neglect
to prey upon him for campaign asses
ments and to make political capital
out of him in every possible way. A
gamblers life is not happy one.

son who reads the two reports of the
committee of the United States SEN
ate on privileges and elections in the

that the justice of the matter and the

in the minority report. The majority

ton that things have been proved

the trade of the United States in South
 America.
 This woeful deficiency in the means
 to carry on and enlarge our South
 American trade is but a part of the
 general decline and feeblenesS of the
 American merchant marine, which has
 reduced us from carrying over ninety
 per cent of our export trade in our own ships to the carriage of nine per cent of that trade in our own ships and
 dependence upon foreign ship owners for the carriage of ninety-one per cent.
 The true remedy and the only remedy is the establishment of american lines of steamships between the United States and the great ports of South America | adequate to render fully as good service as is now afforded by the European
 How can this defect be remedied? Why is 1t that Americans have spbstan- | tially retired from the foreign trans l port service?

AN EXPLANATION

As agents for the Mems Shoes of Clapp's manufac- ture, we have to pay prob- ably more for them than is paid for any line of fine shoes that are sold to the trade; consequently we have to get more for them; the price being fifty cents to a dollar higher.
 MT. Clapp is continually raising his prices, having gone up another twenty five cents on the Spring samples now being shown, but it seems the higher he goes the larger the orders, and therefore nothing can be said, for he cannot turn out the orders anywhere near on time, which has been a serious drawback to the dealers; but when they do come, there is no criti- cism to make as to stock, workmanship or style, for that has all been anticipat- ed and others trouble sav- ed, and all one has to do is to behold an artistic crea- tion, the best which the knowledge of today can give.

The rates are made by the communities served by the railroads. But under the new law the rates controlled from com- mercial necessity now may be controll- ed by political opportunity.

The freight charges between the South American cities and Ameri- can cities are generally and substan- tially higher than between the same cities and Europe; at many points the deliveries of freight are uncertain and its condition upon arrival doubtful. The passenger accommodations are such as to make journey to the United States a trial to be endured and Journey to Europe a pleasure to be enjoyed.
