The weather was remarkably cool for

less than the usual amount of sunshine

ature, sixty-nine degrees, occurred at
Sioux Falls, Minnehaha county, and the
lowest, twelve degrees, at Mitchell, Da-
vison county. The minimum tempera-

grees over most of the state.
The precipitation was below the nor,

The moisture was beneficial, but some

DESERVE LIMIT OF PENALTY.

After fair warning that The Sunday
closing ordinance would be enforced,
the police caught two saloons selling
liquor last Sunday and doing q land
Office business at it. This was not only
violation of law, il was a defiance
of the law. done deliberately and done
for the money there was in il for the
lawbreakers. The criminals ought 70
be given the limit, their licenses re-
voked and their connection with the
liquor business in this Gown perma-
nontly ended.
In the case of the saloonkeeper
whose license was revoked some weeks
ago. he had plausible excuse in the
fact that the Sunday closing law had
baen a dead letter for some time. and
he had done no more than every other
man i'm his business had Zone. But
these later offenders have no iustifica-
ton of any kind: they broke the law
with full knowledge of the penalty. and
they had so little regard for the statute
that they are entitled to no considera-
ton of any sort. They belong to the
class that encourages and shields
crime in others. and the sooner they
are convinced that the law is entitled
to respect the better it viii be for the
community.

GOOD STATE PUeLlcITY.'

When the Real Estate Exchange
gets ready to start its advertising for
Salt Lake It might proftably consult
the plan adopted by the Oregon Devel-
opment league. an association of sixty
three organizations in that state. all
devoted to promoting Oregon's growth
and welfare.
Tom Richardson. who is well known
here, is secretary of the league as well
rs OF the Portland Commercial club.
Gnder his direction an advertising
agency was placed in charge OF the
publicity campaign. The advertising
consisted merely OF "A single inch dis
play. and the same space i'm classified
columns OF thirty-seven farm papers
published in the middle west and
northwest. the seven papers aggregat-
ing nearly 100000 circulation. There
is no fuss or frills about the COPY
used; nothing but an offer to send free
book or Oregon views and furnish
Oregon information TO anybody who
would give the league the addresses of

three farmers who are about 10 move
west. What the results of three weeks
advertising were may best be de-
sCribed i'm Richardson's own words as
published in Merits Magazine
we are getting all the business TO
which we can possibly attend" said
Mr.. Richardson when questioned, and
i'm view Of the amount expended. which
was comparatively small, the results
are wonderful-marveIlou These
inquiries are actually costing us less
than 10 cents each. all expenses in
cluded. and the success Of this cam
paign exceeds that Of any advertising
have ever had anything 10 do with.
I'VE will have to discontinue our
advertising for two weeks in order 10
give US time to catch up. Last Satur-
day we were compelled to answer four
hundred and fifty letters with n circu-
lar one. Monday mornings first deliv-
cry brought US in one hundred and ten
letters. and we have been averaging
about seventy-five a day. beginning
three weeks after we maze our con-
tract with the advertising company.
I'VE have extra stenographers now
and have had constantly. For several
weeks our hostage bill has exceeded
500 per week. We are more than sat
isfied. but you can understand that we
must carry ont our part Of the work
in order that II be successful. and We
only delay renewal of the contract un-
til such time as we can do Justice TO
our correspondence"
There is no reason why Utah should
not get equally satisfactory results
from a well-directed campaign OF pub
licity IT has every inducement to Of
fer that Oregon has. and its agricu-
tural opportunities viii be better as ir-
rcation projects now under way are
completed The price Of farm products
is high here and the markets close to
the farms. Employment Mt high wages
is open to every able-bodied man who
wants To work. the climatic conditions
are as nearly perfect as can be had.
Crops are not dependent upon whether
conditions and good land is available
at reasonable figures.
The Real Estate Exchange, the Com
mercial club and every other organi-
cation i'm the state having promotion
as one Of its chief objects, should be
allied, just as the Oregon associations
are leagued together for the common
good. Then. with intelligent direction
and a comparatively small fund. the
and opportunities of the
state could be presented to the OUT
side world in a way TO attract new
population and bring i'm capital for the
development of the state. The oppoT-
tunities are here. and the population

right.

ADJUSTMENTS TO-DAY.
TO THE LEGISLATURE.

There are siXty-three members OF
the Utah legislature that opened its
session yesterday mt noon. and it is
entirely probable that each of the six
ty-three has from one to a dozen meas
ures the passage OF which lie considers
absolutely essential to the states fu-
turc progress and prosperity. It is n
good deal 90 ask these estimable gem
tlcmen 10 give up their cherished pro-
jccts. but the gospel truth is that the
state doesn't need any more laws. Per-
haps that is stating the case too
bro ably. Put certainly the state doesn't
need many new laws. We have an
abundance Of statutes ON the book
now.
What the state needs more than any
thing is system of simple, plain laws
that even the layman many read and
understand There is no atom Of sound
sense I'm cluttering the books with stat
utes that are put there because they
are some members pets. put there
without much idea of enforcing them,
put there merely that some member
point with pride" It is better to have
ono law. honestly enforced. than 10
have a dozen that are conflicting and
confusing and that cannot be enforced.
The true test of a legisla .ure's value
IS not found i'm the quantity OF the
statutes it enacts but i'm their quali-
". The best legislature is the legis-
lature that enacts only n few laws. but
gives TO those laws the calnest consid-
Grafton. the most thoughtful attention.
before voting upon them. 1T were bet
ter 10 have no legislature at all than
TO have one filled with traders. That is,
with men who are willing 70 vote for "A
OF their own.
Every measure should stand or fail
upon its own merits. and upon it's own
merits alone. The legislator who would
vote for a bin because i'm that way he
can gain vote for his own bill. or.
because he might. by voting against
the other fellows measure, lose vote
for his own, is recreant 10 his duty

If it seems bad ne should vote against

service. of real devotion to the inter-
ests Of the people.
While we are on the subject we may
rs well call attention To another bad
practice INDUCED I'm by most legisla-
lures This is the loafing during the
first forty or forty-fve days Of the ses-
sion and the crowding 90 all work int
the last twenty or fifteen days. The
result Of this practice has boon the en-
actment of mitch needless legislation,
crowded through during the closing
hours when nobody pays a great deal
OF attention. II President Love OF the
senate. and Speaker Joseph of the
house viii take firm stand on this
roint and will insist upon clearing the
decks each day Of that days business.

isiature TO at least establish record
