SUNDAY NIGHT MUSINGS.


In the course of his duties the
average editor reads lot of stuff
that produces varying impressions
on his mind, many of which he
never presents to his readers even
in the form of a clipping. But
nevertheless they produce their
effect in a general way upon his
opinion on many topics.
During the past few days the
papers have been filled with
stories of the death of Charles
Yerkes. Many incidents in his
life heretofore carefully pro-
tected from the public gaze are
now made the common property
of those who read.
The great public has been
properly shocked at the revela-
ton of double. triple and quad
ruple life. 1t now transpires that
he set pace in his amours with
women that either King David or
Solomon might view with envy.
AS it is not at all probable that
any considerable number of his
liasons are discoverable it is likely
that he could have given both
these old geezers cards and
spades and then made them look
like thirty cents. While a busy
man, consumed with the passion
for money making, he found
time to destroy several homes, to
betray a trusting wife and above
all keep his station in social life
in such good order that the doors
of decent homes by the hundreds
were open to him.
Without his colossal wealth
this would have been impossible.
His gold bought secrecy in many
cases and effectually closed the
lips of those who were best ac-
quainted with his social crimes.
We lean to the opinion that his
wealth in great degree made
him what he was. 1t is not among
the hard working class that we
find this sort of man. He found
pleasure in the amassing of
wealth and we observe that he
gratifed that pleasure without
reference to how much hardship
he produced for others. 1t is fair
to assume that possessing the
wealth, he sought other pleasures
of a less lawful character, and OBJ
tained them with little or no
danger to himself through the
possession of this same wealth.
King David wished to possess
Uriahs wife and to that end sent
her husband and thousand others
into what he knew was position
where all would be killed. Uriah
faithfully served his king, led his
soldiers into the death trap, was
slauqhtered with all his followers
and old David got the woman.
Yerkes took the women first and
bought off the husbands in some
instances and in Others exported
them by means best known to
himself. His methods were more
The newspaper., 1906-01-19

little better in our judgment.
A surfeit of pleasure brought
about by great opportunity has
always, in every epoch of the
worlds history augmented crimes
of RIGHTEOUSNESS. The posses
sion of wealth beyond the needs
of the individual increases oP-
portunity for evil. Then why
may not society, in self protection,
say The amassing of wealth be-
yond a certain point shall not be
permitted"
Can't do it you say1 Most
certainly you can. Governme mt
is simply the crystalization OF
public opinion into law. If the
great majority of the people ar
rive at the conclusion that any
thing is to the detriment of the
social structure they can put a
stop to it.
What good purpose does the
wealth of such men as Yerkes,
Rockefeller and Morgan do? Is
not their means used generally to
destroy their kind? Does society
gain or lose because they possess
more of the worlds wealth than
they deserve1 We believe the
universal opinion is that their
wealth is used for the destruction
of others and in their hands be-
comes a menace to the safety and
happiness of the people. Then
why may not the units of society
say Beyond this point thou shalt
not go.
Hard to accomplish? Yes. But
that is no excuse for not doing it
Most desirable things are hard to
secure.
What would happen if gradu-
ated income tax were established
that would become confscation
OF the whole at say S20,0007 In
other words suppose an income
tax were levied so graduated that
at the point where man was
making over $4,000 per annum
all over that sum were assessed
100 per cent? Would 1t not have
a tendency to sort of equalize
things? The income of the gov
ernment would be rather eXces
sive we admit, but they could
spend it furnishing employment
to those who seek in glutted
labor market to sell their only
product, their toll The govern
ment could pay off some large
of the public debt. and
thus assist our over worked cap
italistic class in the reduction of
incomes that were above the
profitable stage. Such tax
would discourage 100 per cent
call money in Wall street, because
he loan of $4,000 for one year,
at that rate would put the owner
On easy terms so far as work for
he current year was concerned.
A man who butted in with 5,OOO,-
200 as one man did in the late
gamblers panic would make
years income in one day and con-
:ribute $4,000 to the government
besides.

THE B0ST0NIA SEXTET.
Made Favorable Impression and Gave
Good Concert In Salt Lake.

The Bostonian Sextet, with Shanna
Cumming. met with a warm welcome
last evening. in the First Methodist
church The concert was TO have been
held In the Assembly hall, on tho tab
ornacle grounds, but classes from tho
j.. ID. s. university have been using
the building for recitation purposes,
owing 10 the defective condition of the

secured the First Methodist church
and such notification of the change
as was possible, WAS given. The audi
ence practically filed the church, but
It would doubtless have been largaer
could announcement of the change
have been made through the evening
press.
The Sextet is composed OF accom-
plished musicians. who have been to-

gram there was no suggestion Of an

IL was a well selected program, one
thoroughly adapted for the limited
number Of instruments which Included
three viollns, a cello, clarinet and
stringed bass. In his fantasie for
clarinet Mr., Stats brought out a
beautifully clear tone, as rich as that
Instrument is capable Of producing,
and his execution was faultless. Mr.
Eaton's violin solo was highly salts
factory piece of work, bearing out In

once had already formed of him from
his efforts In ensemble. The cello
player. Mr.. Stockrldge, is a fine artist
He has an instrument OF unusual ex-
cellence. from which he produced a
very rich tone---he made the cello
sing, and in the lullaby he gave as an
encore 10 the "Serenade Badine." his
expression and Interpretation were
ideally beautiful. The audience de-
manded repetition, and the applause
took on the semblance OF a siege. The
musicians waited for II 20 subsde, but

Cumming. She is a woman Of i'm
posing appearance, of Junoesque stat
ure, and distinguished manner. but
the work marked out for her last
evening did not bring out her vocal
capabilities as a severe cold proved a
bad handicap. But the numbers she
