Dear Sir They won't fool him any
more with paste paint; they'll try
something
Editor Salisbury. Dover. Delaware,
having used 80 gallons paste paint on
his house, bought 80 gallons Devoe for
it. He had enough left for new
stable 20 by 20 and fence, and returned
four gallons.
Paste paint has as many tricks as a
bunco-steerer.

SOMETHING SHOULD Be DONE
What Is Causing the Increase OF
Catarrh in Bennington.

In spite of the best efforts of medi.
cal men, catarrhal troubles are increas.
ing not only in Bennington, but all
over the country.
Catarrh is germ disease, and to
cure it germ life in the breathing or.
gans should be destroyed, and to do
this no other treatment has such posi-
tive and beneficial action as Hyomei.
When the mucous membrane is ir.
ritated and raw and the tissues weak
ened, there is an ideal lodging place
for catarrhal germs. Breathe Hyomei
and see how quickly it soothes the
membranes, vitalizes the tissues and
destroys all the disease germs, render.
ing catarrh no longer possible.
There Is no dangerous stomach
drugging when Hyomei is used; no tab
let's or liquid mixtures destroying d.
gestion.
Breathed through the neat pocket
inhaler that comes with every Hyomei
outfit, the healing balsams penetrate
to the most remote air cells of the
throat, nose and lungs, destroying the
catarrhal germs so that quick recovery
follows.
w. l.. Gokay agrees to refund the
money to any purchaser of Hyomei
who does not find that 1t does all that
is claimed for it. The complete outfit

Mr.. Dolphin M. Delmas, chief coun-
Gil for the defendant in the Thaw case
received great laudation in the press
of this country, not only for his man
ner of conducting the defense OF
Thaw, but as lawyer in general he
has been immoderately and extrava-
gantly praised. During the celebrated
trial, according to the newspapers
Delmas was hero and District At
torney Jerome was persistently be-
Titled. The Thaw millions no doubt
were partly responsible for those con-
ditions. In most of the newspapers
Thaw was given the best of it."
The reports of the trial were with
few exceptions colored in favor Of the
defense. We don't, however think
Monsieur Delmas is the great tower
ing legal giant has been pictured.
No doubt he has abilities greatly
above the average but in the Thaw
case in many instances he descended
to the tricks of petty logger. Judge
Orlando w. Powers is better crimi-
nal lawyer than Mr.. Delmas and has
been equally as successful in both de-
Tending and in prosecuting murder
cases. He is more resourceful than
Mr.. Delmas. He is a better Judge
of human nature and makes a better
impression on jury than Delmas.
His judgment as to the line of defense
to be employed is superior to that OF

The death of Joshua F. Grant,
Which occurred last Monday came
as a shock to his many friends and
acquaintance and to the business
community generally to which he
was so we'll and favorably known. In
the prime of life, in the MONDAY OF
his usefulness he was stricken down
by pneumonia after only few days
illness. He was born in Utah and
lived in the state all his life He was
man of high character and business
integrity, genial, loveable, cheerful
and kind, a model husband and faith
err. The blow was terrible to his wife
and little family of three children.
They have the sincerest sympathy OF
all those who know them and pray
ers that He who heals broken hearts
will comfort them in their sore afflic-
ton The funeral which occurred
on Thursday under the auspices of
the Masonic order was largely at
tended by friends and business men
and organizations who attested their
love and steem for the good man
whom they will sadly miss.

The board of education has issued
an address to the voters on the pro-
posed issue of $25o,ooo school bonds
for the purpose of erecting three
new school buildings. The address
is a plain unvarnshed statement OF
facts. The buildings are an urgent
necessity to accommodate the in
creased number of pupils. The
schools are now crowded to their
utmost capacity and additional ac-
commodations must be provided.
The board has no money which can
possibly be used for new buildings
and the only way to meet the re-
quirements is by bond issue. The
board of education is a body that ev-
err since its formation has been free
from even a suspicion of graft or
Doodle of any kind. 1t is composed
of capable, honorable gentlemen who
with a single eye and pure motives
have served the public practically
without remuneration. 1t enjoys the
of the people. The bond
election occurs Saturday, April Goth,
and there is little doubt but the pro-
position will carry by an overwhelm-
ng majority.

The press organs of the Ameri-
can" party are becoming frantic in
their efforts to induce the party to
make a political issue of Chief OF
Police Sheets. We rather think the
effort will fail as large number OF
the Americans blame the Sheets
McWhirter incident for the defeat of
the party last autumn and they won't
care to go into another campaign
handicapped in that way. The handi-
cap will be great enough anyway as
the leaders of the party and its or
gans have already thoroughly identi-
cusers of Mr.. Sheets.

One of the plans of defense in the
Thaw case was to paint Stanford
White in the darkest possible colors
The worse the light White was made
to appear in it was thought it would
appear the better for Thaw. Not
everybody believed the testimony
given in regard to the murdered man
whose lips were sealed by death and
who could not defend himself. He
was probably. no better than he
should be but events will prove in
time that he was a much better man
than the one who killed him.

Now that Mr.. Delmas has retired
from the Thaw case the best thing

be to retain Judge Powers. If he

ATTENTION imam the Otner murders and
adulteries that are committed every
hour in the day?"
The explanation is simply this,
that in bringing these things into
court they become legitimate news.
That is to say, according to an I'M
written law governing newspapers,
the details of what happens in a
court room may be published in the
newspaper without transgressing the
proprieties of newspaper ethics. 1t
is barely possible that the newspa-
pers would be glad to publish the de-
tails of other murders and adulteres.
But unless they are brought into
court these details would not be le-
gitimate news. In other words, the
managers of newspapers, according
to their own ethics, have now been
furnished an opportunity to make
public scandalous happenings with
out running counter to the views of
their professional brethren. Every
thing that Mrs. Thaw says she told
her husband no matter how ridicu-
lous or degrading it may be, can be
paraded with impunity.
1t would almost seem as if the
newspapers have been held back by
law of acknowledged authority,
have been obliged to pass over light
ly the happenings of the under world
but through the license given by this
unwritten law they are now freed
from all restraint, and each newspaper
has the privilege for once of follow
ing its own bent in reference to pub
fishing obscene news. At any rate,
it looks this way.
The prettiness of Mrs. Thaw is
dilated upon. The per6dy of Mr..
White is brandished with all sorts of
embellishments. His gilded den is
pictured in satanic colors and the
innocent girl, in short dresses, with
hair hanging down her back, are
painted with a nicely of detail in
headline and paragraph, and the
whole thing rounded off with fire.
quent reference to the ardent, erratic,
jealous Thaw, who wishes to marry
the wronged girl
Even the dullest of people who
read these accounts suspect that
these details do not represent the real
facts; that Mrs. Thaw is probably
quite other than she has been painted,
that Mr.. Thaw is not at all like the
representations given in the papers,
and that Mr. White would not recog-
nize the pen pictures that have been
created to represent him. Every
body who reads realizes this perfect
ly we'll But with an instinct for the
news that will sell papers and inter-
est the public, the managers of news
papers have verified the definition
above quoted, that news really does
consist mainly in nfractions upon
the ten commandments, and great
news is in reality instances in which
the sixth and seventh commandments
Truth. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1901-1908, 1907-04-20
DEFINITION OF NEWS, WITH
THE THAW CASE AS
THE TEXT.

1t is said that once a famous news
paper editor defined news as any
thing which breaks one of the ten
commandments, and if it breaks the
sixth or seventh commandment it
is great news.
This definition would be instantly
rejected by the average editor OF
newspaper. But it so happens that
the average editor of a newspaper
has little or nothing to do with the
news The editor is showed off into
some obscure corner, and is allowed
to comment on the news more or
less according to the notions of the
management, but has nothing what
ever to say as to what the news de-
partment of his paper shall or shall
not print.
In view of the newspaper notoriety
which the Thaw trial in New York
City has occasioned, is the above de-
fnition justified? What has happened
that nearly all of the leading newspa-
pers of the United States have devot-
ed page after page to the details of
this occurrence?
Simply this has happened. One
man killed another man, apparently
in cold-blooded, premeditated man.
ner. The commandment, Thou
shalt not kill" has been evidently
broken. There has been another
commandment broken, apparently.
Some man has committed adultry.
This appears to be true, also. To
boil the whole thing down, we simp-
ly have this. Some one has broken
the sixth commandment, Chou shalt
not kill" Some one else has broken
the seventh commandment, "Thou
shalt not commit adultry."
These two things SEEM to be of
sufficient Importance to have COM
manded the best services of an army
of reporters, to have consumed space
III newspapers VI WluC
space of great value, space that could
not have been purchased for one mil
lion dollars. Perhaps ten million dol
lars would come nearer the truth of
the publishing value of the space that
has been already consumed in giving
publicity to the fact that the sixth
and seventh commandments have
been broken.
But" some one may say, the sixth
and seventh commandments are brok-
en- every day, in every city, every
where. Why is it that these two oc-
currences, then, have been bounced
upon as an excuse for Haunting an
array of disgusting and horrifying
details in the face of every one who
picks up a newspaper? Why is it
that a muder committed by Harry
Thaw, and adultry committed by

Alamosa, Colo, Dec. 25, 1907.
To the people of the San Luis
valley:
In the matter of the petition
of the people of the San Luis val
ley, requesting restoration of
their reservoir rights, which filed
with the Secretary of the Interior
in June 1907, and in support of
which l later filed a brief and a
number of affidavits, 1 am, to-day,
in receipt of letter from Secre-
tary Garfield, of date December
q, 1907, in which he says:
Il have given this matter careful
consideration and have concluded
that the order of April 25, 1907,
cannot properly be modified in
view of the public interests in
volved Each case will be con-
sidered on its merits"
While these two statements seem
to be contradictory, the statement
that "each case will be considered
on its merits" would seem to re-
move the time limitation altogether
yet, inasmuch as the Honorable
Secretary refuses to SO modify the
order of April %, 1907, as to ex-
clude Colorado from its operations,
he may again invoke the terms of
the order at any time. | therefore
recommend that you petition our
congressional delegation to take
such action at the present session
of Congress, as will permanently
restore your reservoir rights.
Very Respectfully,
c. G.. HoLBRooK.
