nevertheless. The local Chinese colo
ny is huddled together OH Commercial
street, Commercial alley and on Plum
Alley, the latter being the Main street
of Chinatown, Scattered about the city
are the laundries and in the suburbs
are the Chinese gardens, the finest in
the county.
In the alleyways are the stores, where
dry goods, dishes and notions. peculiar
to the Chinese taste, are sold. while on
State and Commercial streets are the
restaurants and noodle houses.
How do they live?'
The question has been asked fire.
auently and ts easily answered.
The poorer classes live literally by
the sweat of the brow. They toll in
gardens from before daylight until al
ter dark practically every day in the
year. and in laundries they work day
| ana night, minding their own business
| and saving their hard earned money.
! The balance keep restaurants noodle
| houses and stores. The latter are in
| the majority and they seem to be
+, prosperous.
| THEIR VICES.
| The only noticeable vices among the
1 Chinese OF Salt Lake are gambling
| and opium smoking, They are never
| troubled by the police for either, be-
| cause poker and fan tan and opium
| smoking seem to be a sort of second
nature to the Monaghan. Robbery,
larceny, housebreaking and kindred
crimes are unknown among them and
when, occasionally, an arrest is made.
1t is because some daring Celestial has
been caught selling opium to white
people or, Keeping a hop joint"
The leading Chinese OF Salt Lake
maintain comfortable homes and live
with their wives and children. They
are apparently contentcd and happy
and live in the enjoyment of luNuries
peculiar to themselves. The women and
children are not often seen on the
streets bur they have their social gath
| erings and manage TO get as much
pleasure out of life as do the men.

Judge Loving Acquitted.

one Of intense interest 10 all.
Even though the human fend
who took advantage Of the judges
daughters innocence and robbed
her Of the most priceless posses
sion, her virtue, was killen in a
merciless manner, il was enough
strain on an ordinary fathers
mind to prompt him to do a like
deed. The judge had been con.
%tinuously drunk for several
years and the jury returned the
verdict Of acquittal on the
grounds Of insanity.
The attorney for the defense
closed his argument with a
touching appeal 10 the jury as
follows:
Sweep from Virginia the
chaste homes Of the citizens, and
what remains Of ahe state? The
purity and the dignity OF our
homes is the sweetest thing in

no Presidential situation.

Senator Knox. Of Pennsylvania,
was not regarded as a candidate
until the Republicans Of that
state unanimously endorsed him.
which caused the other candi.
dates to sit up and take notice.
Although Secretary Taft is sup
posed to be the administrations
candidate, he is making little
Roadway in the race because of
the fight against him in Ohio, his
home state. While the endorse
ment of Ohio is not absolutely
necessary, yet it would go a long
way toward solving a knotty
problem. Until Taft has secur-
ed the endorsement of his own
state, other states that would
likely be for him, will be
slow in expressing a preference,
and the progress Of his campaign
is necessarily retarded.
On the other hand, Senator
Knox, with the solid Pennsyl-
vania delegation behind him,
Uncle Joe Cannon, backed by the
Illinois delegation, and Vice
President Fairbanks, with Indi.
ana back of his candidacy, are
reaching out into the states that
have no candidate, and moulding
sentiment for one or the other.
Although the national convention
is now a year OFF, it is safe to pre-
dict that when the great assem-
bly, that will name Roosevelt's
successor is called to order, no
one candidate will have a major
ity of the delegates, and we are
of the opinion that there will be
no less than four very strong
candidates before that conven-
ton, no one of whom will have a
long lead over the other three.
The result is almost sure to be a
hard fought and long drawn-out
contest, with excellent chance of
its terminating like the conven-
ton of 1880, when Garfield was
nominated.
In this state the political pot
has begun to boil and the hungry
office seekers are anxious to be
first to line up for this, that or
the other candidate, so as to be
in line for political preferment;
but the conservative men of the
party are inclined to keep down
factional fights and line up the
rank and file for the party poll
cies which President Roosevelt
has popularized; making the
question of who shall be the
standard bearer a secondary
matter. While there is some
talk of a "reactionary" candidate
which comes principally from
the mugwomp press, as a matter
Of fact, Taft, Knox, Cannon and
Fairbanks are all closely identi-
fed with the present administra-
ton and have been its loyal sup.
porters-Taft as a member of
the Presidents cabinet, Knox as
former Encouragement and now
as a member Of the senate. In
there respective capacities, each
and all Of these men have been
loyal 10 the administration, and
20 their united support Of the
Presidents policies is due much
Iof his great success. These
statements being admittedly
true, il is difficult to see how one
