n CONSCIENCE OVERTURNED.

The Honorable George Sheldon, gov
ernor of Nebraska. is the victim of an
overturned conscience. Govern Shell
don. having discovered a constitutional
provision which sets forth that the
chief executive shall receive no per-
quisites aside from his salary of $500
a year. has directed the attorney gen.
eraI TO sue him i'm the name of the
state to recover rental of the executive
mansion at the rate of 800 a month.
The governors conscience is so extreme
~ sensitive that he cannot live in the
mansion rent free, as other governors
before him have done.
And he admits that if the judgment
of the court is against him he will have
To find some other place of residence.
He is a poor man and cannot afford to
pay nearly half of his small salary for
house rent. But Sheldon has already
received his reward. He is referred to
in Nebraska as Honest George That
Is sobriquet that has its disadvant-
ages. because other Honest Georges -
and Honest Dicks have gone into his
tory as embezzlers of public funds. OF
course such finish is not possible for
Sheldon and We make the comment in

worth living.
If Sheldon likes it he is welcome To

nothing to prevent him from quietly
paving a reasonable sum into the state
treasury and then moving out, If he
could not stand the expense. There
was no real necessity for bringing the
question before a court. If Sheldon is

to pay rent to the state court deci-

ACCURACY AS A VICE.

Accuracy is a mighty good thing in
its place, and IT'S place is nearly every
where, though not quite. How often
have YOU seen a splendid story
spoiled by some ass who points
out that the statements therein
cannot possibly be true, and then
proceeds to automatically DEM
onstrate the correctness of his position?
We do not believe it is right to spoil a
good story, when the story does no one
any harm.
Comes now, for example. Professor
Greenhill, who contributes to the Lon
don Post an article that proves beyond
the peradventure of a doubt that
Hiawatha could not have done the
things Longfeliow attributed to him
You remember:
Strong Of arm was Hiawatha:
He could shoot ten arrows upward
And the tenth had left the bowstring
Ere the first 10 earth had fallen
Swift of foot was Hiawatha;
He could shoot an arrow from him
And run forward with such swiftness
That the arrow fell behind him.
Professor Greenhill gravely points
out that, if it be admitted that Hiawa-
tina could shoot an. arrow a second,
which is reasonably fast shooting, the
first arrow would be obliged to remain
not less than nine seconds in the air.
He laws down the rule that 1.-THE veloci-
" with which they were shot. being
equal TO the time multiplied into the
half of the value of the constant gray
ity was IA feet per second" whatever
that may mean. And it is impossible.
according to the learned professor, for
any human being TO hurl anything from
him at the rate of IA feet a second.
Continuing. the professor says: In
shooting an arrow to obtain the fur
thest fight Hiawatha would let it fly
at an angle Of 40 degrees. and by sim
pie trigonometrical calculation we
therefore arrive at the fact that the
horizontal velocity of the arrow would
be rather less than la feet a second. OF
about seventy miles an hour" To beat
the arrow Hlawatha would have to run
at the rate of 102 feet a second. The
mathematician wants to know If he

THE GoLDFlEL0 SITUATION.

The greatest gold mining camp this
nation mas ever known is Goldfield,
Nevada, Situated close to the heart of
a great, gray desert. it throbs with life
and activity 1t is a city, made so by
mans deep rooted love for gold And
today in Goldfield men are walking
about bowed by the weight of the fire
arms they carry. Every man looks
upon mis- Heighbor with suspicion. The
snap of friction match in IA crowd
on a Goldfield street causes a dozen
men to jump and feel instinctively for
their revolvers.
There is danger Of an explosion at
any moment, an explosion that might
cost. ten, twenty, "A hundred lives. The
position of Goldfield people may be lik-
ened 10 that of men who sit around a
magazine filled with loose powder and
explode-but a spark might drop into
it at any minute and blow the smokers
into eternity. \ Goldfield man is
quoted as saying: Il came here to
make, my pile and I'm going to make it
unless they carry me out feet first"
There is hardly an hour in the TWEEN
" -four at which men do not live at the
highest tension, hardly an hour when
they lose sight of the fear that the
next moment the shot that is going to
be heard around the world will be fired.
Yet the men stay on. Ali of them
do not stay because they love gold.
Some stay because they love excite
ment. some because they fear they
would be branded as towards if they
left. some because they hope 10 profit
by chaotic conditions. some because they
have fairly won what they have and
their sense of eternal justice prompts
them to hold it.
The Herald hopes the situation at
Goldfield will be cleared without resort
TO violence by either labor men or en-
pIoyers, or by either of the warning
factions OF labor men. II believes in
the future of the great camp. Wealth

TO be dug out and given its place i'm the

ENGLAND AND suFFRAGETrEs.

To an American the treatment of the
English women who have been agitat-
ing for the grant of suffrage to their sex
is almost imcomprehensible. A recent
issue of Golfers tells the story in a
most interesting way. The movement
began with a few prominent leaders.
When they consulted Mr.. Balfour,
then premier, that practical politician
told them to first work up a big, rep
resentative organization throughout the
country. Second, publicly sound all
the parliamentary candidates. Lastly,
agitate: kick up a fuss; keep on kick
ing. Get into the public eye through
the newspapers and stay there. If in
terest and publicity wane, kick up a
new kind of fuss. And all the time
keep on knocking at the doors of par
lament"
The advice sounds like the counsel
of a wild-eyed agitator. but it came
from a Conservative leader, an aristo-
erat, a man who abhors fuss. That it
was eminently sound has been proved
by the result, although it was a little
hard on the agitators. And the way
they kicked up fuses was caution to
staid old John Bull. They broke up
meetings, defied the police, served time
in prisons-and time in an English
prison is no picnic. They stormed the
doors of parliament and were arrested.
Then they stormed some more and
were arrested again. Dainty, refined
women were compelled to scrub stone
prison floors, denied visitors and mail,
fed on prison diet; some were kept in
solitary confinement i'll small cells
with no fire.
Among the prisoners was daughter
Of Richard Golden; Mrs. Montefiore, a
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1907-03-18

woman of wealth and education; Mrs.
How Martyr, lecturer on mathematics
at Westfield college: Miss Gawthorpe,
honor graduate of Victoria university
and others of similar distinction. They
were not only arrested, but were treat
ed brutally by the police for resisting
arrest. Their hearings in court were
in seclusion. not even relatives being
permitted to attend. Altogether the law
officials and the men who pushed the
prosecutions seem to have bungied
things as badly as possible ana done
more TO advance the cause of suffrage
than if no attention had been paid to
the demonstrations.
Leaving aside any consideration of
the stupidity of such prosecutions, the
prison treatment these women endur-
ed seems a relic of the middle ages.
In America the judge or prison Off
ciaI who would undertake such a pro-
gram would attain national
celebrity of a most unpleasant kind
i'm twenty-four hours. He would prob
ably attain some personal discomfort
as well before he got through.
A long range diagnosis of the situa-
ton indicates a serious defect in the
English system somewhere. Exact
justice is a good thing; but in this case
a liberal admixture of common sense,
with a dash of the humor which saves a
ridiculous situation, might have avert
ed lot of trouble for the men OF
England. As il is, they are waking up
to their blunders; the police are in a
duandary and dodge whenever they
see a suffragette coming; the ministry
is talking of conoiliation and the whole
country is beginning TO smile a little
broadly at the terror these gentle
women have inspired in the political
leaders and their followers.
