those who believe that our courts were
established for the purpose of enforc-
ing the law. To say that because man
is drunk when he commits a crime he
should not be convicted is to set a pre-
MUM on drunkenness. The truth is
that a very large percentage of offenses
against our statutes are committed by
men who are partly or wholly under
the influence of some intoxicant. The
records of every jail and penitentiary
in the land show this 10 be the case
And no court has held prior TO the
Chicago decision that drunkenness is
a valid defense. If that were true,
seven-tenths, at least. of the defendants
who are brought to bar would be dis
charged Intoxicants give men courage
to commit crimes that they would not
dare TO commit if they did not indulge
in intoxicants They know before they
drink that it will make them drunk.
They are sober men when they begin
to drink. and they are responsible for
the drinking. Therefore they are re-
sponsible straight through, no matter
what happens.
As contemporary remarks, that Chi
cago judge said, in effect.
This might have happened to any
body. Let us show our sympathy for
the poor man who was bitten by a girl
and a dog and then locked up by big
policeman just because he thoughtlessly
tried to commit a crime. If men were
to be punished for what they do when
they are drunk it would not be safe for
a man TO drink too much. No matter
what you do (when drunk If your
heart be only true when sober)."
We wonder if the Chicago judge
knows that the great wave Of prohibit
ton that is sweeping over the south
had its origin almost entirely in the
crimes committed by drunken men. both
whites and black. We wonder if he
knows that the good citizens down there
are glad to surrender the privilege of
drinking occasionally in order to make
it impossible, as nearly as may be, for
the criminal element TO secure intoxi-
cants
Those southern men have come to a
full realization of their danger. and they
are meeting the situation like real men.
Too much credit cannot be given them,
nor too much contempt TO the judge
who would make drunkenness an ex-
cuse for crime.

LITTLE LATE.

1t is a little late in the evening of life
TO regret the improvident nOontide.
But there should be no occasion for ma
teriaI regrets. The advantages of our
system of supplying a home to people
who want to own their own places can
so readily be taken that really the buy
ing of a home involves no more than
the amount a man in moderate circum-
stances with a family would be obliged
to pay for rent.
The houses we are offering for sale
on Ninth avenue afford an easy means
of getting away from the landlord
They are well built, modern, brand new
and constructed so well that we are
willing to make long time loans on any
of them-that is We are willing to al
low you TO make long time payments
because we know what Greater Salt
Lake is going to do, and consequently
know the value of good realty.
We want you to call at ASS c street,
get the keys TO these houses and look
them over Then come in and tell us
which one you want. The matter can be
easily arranged and it will be a very
brief time until you will have a home of
your own

OUR NAVAL DEMONSTRATION.

Next Monday the greatest fleet of
warships that has ever flown the Amer
lean flag will set out from New York.
Already part of the fleet has, started,
the list including the torpedo boats and
destroyers, those stilettos of naval war
fare. Down the Atlantic coast and
around Cape Horn into Pacific waters
the great array of floating forts Will
travel its ultimate destination being
San Francisco.
At no time in the history Of the ma
ton has such a demonstration been at
tempted. The cruise is TO be for prac-
tice purposes, according 10 the state
ment of Admiral Dewey. but the gray
old sea fighter coupled that announce
ment With further one to the effect
that if it was necessary for the fleet TO
do any work in Pacific waters it would
be ready to do that work
The cost of the cruise will be tremen-
deus, but the impressiveness of the
demonstration, the object lesson il will
afford to the nations of the world. and
especially to the Japanese. will be
abundant compensation for the outlay.
For provisions alone hundreds of thou
sands of dollars have been expended.
Uncle Sam is not stinting his men in
this particular. Indeed, some Of the
foreign observers have said that the
government was spelling the sailors
with the excellence and wide variety
of the food that will be served them.
For instance, 5000 pounds of turkey
are being taken along for Christmas
dinner. This is approximately pound
for every jackie in the fleet. Some Of
the other big items are: Flour, 100000
pounds: potatoes. 1,5O0 900 pounds; sug-
ar. 1, 400, 600 pounds. There are in the
store rooms million pounds of beef,
nearly million pounds of canned toma-
toes, a third of million pounds of NUT
ton and pork, a hundred thousand
pounds of butter and like amount of
coffee. The total weight of the food
stufrs is upwards of $500. 600 pounds.
Also for the jacl1ies are peaches, nuts
thousands of dozens Of eggs. sardines.
salmon, string beans, cheese dried ap-
pies. rolled oats Your Uncle Samuel,
when he makes up mis- mind to be
generous boarding master, does the
thing handsomely. On that point there
can be no argument. II the sea fight
ers don't wax fat and hearty on this
cruise it will not be the fault of the
commissary department.
If the provisions were piled up in a
pyramid they would make stack taller
than any three buildings in Salt Lake
placed one on top of the other, and the
pile would have greater dimensions at
the base than any Of our buildings.

DRUNKENNESS AS A DEFENSE.

A few days ago in Chicago drunken
beast entered the room Of a young wo-
man and attacked her. He was fright
ened away by the barking of dog.
The man was later arrested and placed
on trial. He did not deny his guilt, but
his attorneys pleaded that he had al
wavs been a man of good character,
and that he would never have been
guilty of this crime if he had not been
so drunk as to be irresponsible. The
court held that the snan should be ac-
Quilted, and he was accordingly set
free.
The decision is one that will shock

ASHLAND. VA, March s1.---Nat Lane.
a white mar, living In the country near
here, was shetland killed to-day by John
BLACKWELL, a white farmer, who lives
about two miles from Ashland. The
tragedy occurred near. what Is. known as
2NFfnn's Church neighborhood. Lane came
to Blackwell's house In an intoxicated
8condi tion, /, and after batterlng down the
h front door attempted to assault him.
BLACKWELL .who8is a quiet man OF rather
mel elancholy disposition, quickly seized a
loaded shotgun and made short work of
the intruder. emptying the entire load in
4 $sL4ane's body with deadly effect. Tho
tragedy was quickly reported, and Sher-
!tH Mallory, OF Hanover brought Black
well to Ashland this evening, and he
was quickly lodged In the local jail by
the direction Of Mayor Crew. "
4s When brought before Mayor Grew,
Blackwell was asked for an explanation,
and -laughlngly admitted that no had
killed the man in self-defcnsc. Ho Will
have a preliminary hearing here to-.
morrow morning and bes sent on to the
grand jury. Both parties arc well known
here, their home being near Elmont. on
the Richmond, fredericksburg and r1Poto-
mac Railroad, between here and Rich
;mond. Lane has been working for years
lin the saw mills or Hanover county.
Blackwell is what Is known as "a "shingle
cutter" and farms a small place.
