Couldn't Prove Property.

The old fable of the lawyers and the
oyster, in which the ownership of an
oyster being contested, the lawyers ate
the oyster and gave a shell to each Of
the litigants, is matched by a story
that Congressman Champ Clark used
to tell of a case in a western country
court.
Two men had come into court with a
suit over the ownership of an umbrella
which had been left in the meeting
house" Each one introduced evidence
to prove that the umbrella was his
Being unable to emulate the wisdom
of Solomon by dividing the umbrella
between them, his honor postponed the
case. Pending it's decision the umbrella
was left in the judges private room.
Later, as he left the court to go
home, the judge found that the wealth
er was rainy lie returned to his room,
took the umbrella that was in Itiga-
ton. and proceeded on his way.
Half way home he entered one of the
stores of the town, there to make q
purchase for his wife. When he was
ready to leave the place he found that
the disputed umbrella had been taken
away by an unknown person.
He then bought another umbrella,
which, in due course, he took to the
court room with him the next day.
When the case came up the litigants
were confronted with it, and neither
was able to identify it as his own. The
court thereupon fined them both for
invoking the law on a frivolous pre-
text, and they departed empty-handed
and decidedly "non-suited."

MAYOR TRANSPORTS STAND.

What are the American" spoilsmen,
the men who went around forcing
cOuncilmanic candidates to sign an
iron-clad agreement to place none but
Americans" in office, the men who
attempted to hammer through the city
convention a resolution pledging the
prospective city nominees to a similar
course of action, going to GO about
Mayor Bransford? Will they read their
executive, their candidate to succeed
himself in the mayoralty, out of the
party? For the mayor it not a spoils-
man. He says so practically in so
many words in an interview published
in The Herald of yesterday.
IF I find a city official loing good,
faithful, conscientious work, will not
remove him." said Mayor Bransford.
That is to say, he will rot displace
any faithful public servants, regard
less of their politics, merely to make
room for American" heelers. What
is the inner circle of the American"
party going to do about it?

ROOSEVELT WILL CONTROL.

According to calculation made by
the New York World, it viii be very
easy for President Roosevelt to con-
troll absolutely the next Republican
national convention, to nominate Sec
rotary Taft or any other presidential
candidate he favors, as well as to
write the platform and name the can
didate for the vice presidency. This
through the federal patronage in his
hands. The World has a logical
method of arriving at its conclusion.
1t points out that there will be 992
delegates in the Republican convention.
making z97 a majority over all. Three
hundred and thirty-two Of these dele
gates VIII come from the southern
states and twenty-six from the terri
tories, a total Of 35S to start with.
From the western states the World is
of the opinion that 156 delegates IA
vorable to anything Mr. Roosevelt
wants viii be elected. Here we have
a grand total Of 514 Roosevelt dele
gates. or II more than a clear ma
jority.
The southern states and the terri
tories are controlled largely by the fed
erai officehoIders appointed bv Mr.

Roosevelt, and they viii do all they
can TO elect delegates favorable to him.
The stumbling block is the negro vote.
The negroes of the south pretend to be
violently opposed to both Roosevelt
and Taft, and the negroes, If they
stand together. can defeat the white
leaders. The trouble with them.
though, is that they will not stand to-
gether. In the end they will blindly
follow the whites.
So the president can control the con-
vention with the aid of votes from
states that never cast an electoral bal
lot for a Republican presidential nomi-
nee. Some of the eastern leaders, in
such states as New York, Pennsyl-
vania, Massachusetts,, Ohio and else
where, are complaining bitterly over
the situation, but they have been I'M
able to locate any remedy. The Gus
tom Of allowing two delegates from
each congressional district and four
from the state at large has prevailed
for many years and will prevail next
year.
The fact that a district does not cast
more than a handful of Republican
votes does not enter into the calcu-
lation at ali. And some of the Demo-
cratic leaders are complaining about
the very same condition. They do not
see why states that are always solidly
Republican should control a Democra-
tic national convention. There is much
Justice in the contention, too. In all
other political conventions the number
of delegates from a given district is
governed by the number of party votes
cast in that district
If this rule were adopted in national
politics, making the number of votes
to a delegate sufficiently large to pre-
vent an unwieldly convention, 1t ought
to work out In an entirely satisfactory
manner. Certainly the masses of both
parties would be fairly represented.

REEF TRUST AND PRICES.

Still another rise in the price of
beef to eastern consumers has aroused
long, loud wall of woe, and the beef
trust promises to boost the price at
least another half cent. possibly a
whole one, before another thirty days.
The wholesalers have an explanation
they always have-for the advance
and this time the excuse has some Of
the elements of novelty. They say the
farmers have had to fatten their cattle
on grain instead of grass this year, be-
cause of the drouth which has spoiled
the pastures. The eastern newspapers,
however, suggest that the advance is
due to renewed talk of further govern
ment prosecution of the big corpora
tons.
Remembering the course of the beef
trust in previous years, only one rea-
son seems plausible: the trust needs
the money, the people have it, and the
simplest, most effective way to trans
fer it speedily is to charge the people
more for their beef. When that much
is understood. what need of further
discussion?
AS for the explanation that the rise
is due to prospective government pros
ecution somebody must be mistaken
There was a time when the members
of the packers combination felt uneasy
about prosecution, but the time passed
with the immunity bath. Like the
paper trust, the apprehension of legal
proceedings scared them a good deal
worse than the actual result. Such
convictions as were obtained were fol-
lowed by light fines only. and the op-
erations of the combination were left
as completely undisturbed as if they
had never been attacked.
The other explanation Of the rise in
prices, that the farmers have had to
feed grain instead of grass, is only a
delicate bit of hUmor. The beef trust
has never shown any regard before for
the cost of raising beef; it has fixed its
buying price to suit itself and made
the selling price in precisely the same
way. Cost of production has had moth
ing to do with the buying of cattle or
the selling of the finished product; on
the contrary. it has been no unusual
thing for the packers to lower the price
paid for cattle and raise the price of
beef to the consumer at the same
time. Possibly this was only a little
pleasantly just as the present exorbi-
tant price may be a humorous way Of
showing how little effect legal prosecu-
ton has on the real business of the
beef trust. In any event, it is demon
strated most thoroughly that the
spread-eagle talk of eliminating trust
oppression by administrative prosecu-
ton has only brought higher prices for
food products controlled by the beef
trust, more expensive living for house
holders and some small campaign cap
ital for the prosecutors. Instead of
''suppressing" Illegal combinations it
has only suppressed the purchasing
power of the wage-earner and the gen.

THEATRES TODAY.
THE DEMOCRATIC ADDRESS.


In The Sunday Herald yesterday was
printed an address from the Demo-
cratic city committee to the voters of
Salt Lake. In this address are set
forth reasons why the people should
vote the Democratic ticket. The rec
ords Of the three parties in recent years
are compared, and the comparison is
distinctly in favor of the Democratic
city administration. The committee
shows that under Richard P. Morris as
mayor and his fellow Democratic Of
ficials. in spite of an adverse majority
in the council. the affairs of the mu-
nicipality were conducted without
graft, without extravaganza and in a
most businessiike manner.
The city progressed with rapid
strides. Many miles of sidewalks were
constructed, blocks upon blocks of
asphalt paving were laid. sewers were
put in and, best of all, the water prob
lem that had menaced the city's growth
ever since it passed out OF the village
class was solved absolutely and for all
time. These and many other acts of
immense benefit to ali the people were
performed by the Democratic admin
istration, as the address to the voters
very properly points out.
The Republican administration that
preceded the induction of the Demo-
Gratis into office had done nothing ex-
cept give offices to Republican heeIers
and see to it that all good party men
were rewarded whenever possible. The
American" administration that fol-
lowed the Democrats merely carried
out the public improvements the Dem
Ocrats planned. But they carried them
out in a manner 50 extravagant as to
arouse the Indignation of all right
thinking citizens, their theory being
that it was better to spend the pub
lie money in the creation of a political
machine than to spend it for the ben
eft of the public.
More, the Democrats pointed out
three years ago that the effect of the
appeals of the Republicans and the
Americans" to religious prejudices
would inevitably have the effect of
creating a bitterness that would in
crease with the passing Of the years
until intolerable conditions were Great
ed. That prediction has been album
dainty fulfilled. Today a feeling ex-
lists between the parties that can only
be described as hatred. The Amer
leans" openly avow that if their
ticket is elected no Mormon will be
permitted to hold any office. The Re
publicans are appealing to Mormon
Democrats to betray their party and
join an aggregation Of federal office
holders in strengthening a Republican
machine.
The only path to peace, as the ad-
dress sets forth, lies through the cleo
ton of the Democratic ticket this year.
In their hearts thousands of voters are
saying to the Americans" and to the
Republicans, "A plague on both your
houses" And they will show they
mean what they say by voting for and
electing the Democratic ticket.

THE MARRIED MAN.

detroit Free PresS-)
When a man marries,
Trouble begins;
Buttoning waists,
And putting In pins.
Looking at bonnets
To see if they're straight;
Ready to start.
Then having to wait.
Hunting for robbers,
Under each bed;
Reused in the night,
For a blanket to spread.
When the rain comes,
Though you're wrapped in repose,
Reused with a shout,
All the windows to close.
Summoned at morn.
To start up the fire,
Get in the milk.
In your seanty attire.
Run to the store
For the food you would eat:
Get In the ice
Ere it melts in the street
Hurry to work,
Hurry back with your pay

a Cruel JaiIer.

In a certain country Jail Of Georgia
there was once an old chap called
Nose Selby, supervisor of the institu-
ton, who fed and housed the COnVicts
so well that they were greatly attached
TO him. He could actually allow them
to go about at will. He was accus-
toned to hire them out to the farmers
in the neighbOrhoOd during the harvest
season and in that way turn an hon
est penny for the taxpayers.
Early one morning ore of these pris-
oneTs appeared at tie office of a law
yer in the place.
Young man." asked he. ARE you an
Attorney"
Il am" was the reply.
4 want you to get me out OF Jail
on writ of habeas corpus, and 1 want
it right away
Hold on, my friend" said the law
yer. I'VE must have some reason to
show the court before we can ask for
a writ"
I have reason enough" said the
man. The cruelty of the keeper
makes life there unbea arabic"
Nonsense" exclaied the lawyer.
There was never a kinder keeper in
the world than Nose Selby."
Judge for yourself" the prisoner in
sisted. Yesterday l was working out
at Mr.. Walkers, and we had big lot
Of hay to get in, for the sky was full
of rainclouds SO when the Jail horn
blew for bedtime 1 stayed and helped
get the hay under cover.
1T was after dark when 1 got back,
and would you believe it, sir, that
hard-heaTted keeper locked me out.
I had to sleep out of doors and caught
rheumatism in my bones. 1t settled
things in my mind. I'll not STAY an
other night under the roof of a man
who'll treat men like that. So. Mr..
Lawyer, I want you to get me out be-
