WALL STREET AND THE WEST.

Conditions in Wall street demonstrate
thoroughly that even the speculative
public can reach the limit of gullibility
and refuse TO go beyond the last stage
OF credulity in matters financial. For
some weeks 1t has been apparent that

usual bear tactics. They were aided by
an opportune. or inoppOrtune move

withdraw loans in large amounts on
the speculative securities. Originating
with the Bank of England, this move

loans on American stocks as well as
demand for the return of funds that
had been advanced on such securities.

That would last for many Gay
But they came with picks and snnote
To lay a water main;
And then they called the workmen

CIGARETTES AND THE LAW.

In the midst of the wild whirI of leg
islative activity. Mr. Croft of the house
has evolved a bill for the suppression
OF the cigarette, more euphoniously
known as the coffin-nail. By the terms
of the bill, if it becomes a law, it would
be misdemeanor for any person or
persons in the state of Utah ito sell,
keep for sale, give away or furnish to
any person or persons, cigarettes or
cigarette paper in any form whatever"
under penalty of fine of not less than
800 nor more than $500 and costs of
prosecution.
Cigarette smoking is a pernicious
habit. viewed from any standpoint. It
enervates physically, demoraIizes mem
tally and morally and, TO most folks, is
a common nuisance that ought to be
abolished. Certainly any man who
makes a business of smoking the paper
pipes ought to be compelled to go into
retirement when he does il, and get
sterilized before he returns to the as
sociations of mankind. And as for the
boy who smokes cigarettes, he is
straight on the road TO perdition in
most cases, and invariably suffers
Wreckage if he persists i'm it. No habit
could be worse for him. and very few
approach il in power for evil.
Mr. Croft so far is right in his notion
that the cigarette ought to be tabooed;
whether his bill can accomplish much
il adopted is quite another matter. The
present laws prohibit the sale of cigar
cites to minors, and if they are en-
forced properly, as they should be. that
much of his purpose can be accom-
plished without further legislation.
When it comes to legislating for the re-
form Of mature men, ii is altogether
likely no such law would prevail
against the folly of humanity. Indiana
tried it, and succeeded admirably in
promoting the mail order business in
the prohibited smoke. So much was
said and written about il that a good
many boys got into the way of order
ing cigarettes or 1.-The makin's'' by mail.
and there is some question as to
whether the law did more harm or
good.
Any such law is only perfunctory I'M
less it is demanded and enforced by
sound public sentiment; and a course
of instruction in the schools on the
evils of the cigarette would probably
accomplish more good than all the laws
that could be put in the books.

POINTERS ON MAIL ORDERS.

In another column OF this issue is an
Interesting communication from south
ern Utah on the Merchants & Manu-
facturers associations proposal to
wage war GA the eastern mail order
houses. The correspondent gives some
facts as TO the methods used by Salt
Lake houses i'm contrast with the sys-
tenn Of the eastern competitors, which
go long way toward explaining why
the salt LakeTs do not get the bust
ness. as they should.
He shows. for instance, that efforts
TO get orders filled here or get prompt
answers to inquiries were futile; that
when-erders are filed they are apt to
be handled carclessly and arrive i'm bad
condition. In one instance he shows
how carelessness in a failure to advise
the customer kept him waiting for
magazines a long while after they were
due and he got no satisfaction until he
wrote again. In word, the Salt Lake
houses to which he refers ignored the
first principle of successful mail order
business, which is to answer inquiries
promptly, pack carefully. send exactly
what is ordered, and il the goods are
not in stock. advise the customer of the
fact He shows also. that the eastern
houses Issue catalogues that describe
and Illustrate the goods fully, while
the Salt Lake houses. most of them,
publish catalogues which are not up-to-
date. are poorly illustrated and imper-
feet I'm other details.
Still another factor is not considered
i'm the communication. except casually.
Eastern concerns value IAN address.
once they get a name they circularize
the man or woman intelligently; write
occasional letters. answer all inquiries
on the day they are received, and pay
attention TO the last detail of all or
ders. They spend money in advertising
their goods, not only i'm catalogues. in
letters and circulars, but in the publica-
tons that reach the class of people who
are likely TO trade with them. The
Salt Laker does not usually advertise
for mail order trade; very few of the
merchants here have appreciated the
possibilities of this class of business,
although the city has a splendid posi-
ton. geographically, from which to
handle mail order trade.
There fs-uTliy- one way to fight compe-
tition successfully. and that is to sell
as low or lower than the competitor.
to handle the orders promptly and
carefully, 10 cultivate the customers,
keep in close touch with them by cor
respondence and to go after the bust
ness by judicious advertising. The NJ.

it's members and for the city's mer-
chants generally, If it viii follow the
suggestions Of The Herald's correspon-
dent and stimulate enough interest TO
secure an improvement in the mail or

CONFFSSES MURDER
OF MRS. LEWIS
John G. Price Admits Killing Woman
in Philadelphia
WON'T BETRAY ACCOMPLISH

Philadelphia. Dec 81. - John G.
Price, who has been under arrest in
this city since December s, according
to a statement made by Captain of
/ Detectives DOnaghy, has confessed
that he murdered Mrs. Maurice Lewis
/ at 2103 North 18th street on the after
noon of September TO- In a written
| statement Price, who has been arrest
ed several times on charges OF forgery
and larceny, says that, with a COM
panion whose name he refuses to give.
he went to the 11th street house for
the purpose of robbery. They repre-
scented themselves as plumbers. While
his companion was searching the up
stairs rooms, Price says that Mrs.
Lewis came upstairs and caught him.
He then continues: There was a
struggle and a chase. At the foot of
the stairs caught Mrs. Lewis to keep
her from screaming. and a handker-
chief was thrust into her mouth. l
then drew from my pocket a lance
which l had previously stolen from
physicians Office" At this point
Prices statement ends abruptly, with
the following: My God; l can't write
it. I killed her; l alone am guilty"
Mrs. Lewis body was found in a
closet under the stairs in her home.
She had been stabbed through the
neck with a sharp instrument which
might have been lance or dirk. The
murder has bafled the police officials
of this city ever since its commission.
Mrs. Lewis boarded with a Miss
Kelly, and the latter and a boarder
named Harry Somers were placed I'M
der arrest shortly after the crime, but |
were subsequently discharged for lack
of evidence.
The prisoner is "a years old. In 1899 /.
he was tried in the criminal courts on I
charges of forgery and larceny and .
was acquitted on the grounds of in
sanity and sent to the NorristOwn in
sane asylum. He was found, the police
say, at that time in the Episcopal hos
pital under treatment for the cigarette
and drug habit. In his confession he
tells of having frequently stopped in
saloons to get a drink of absinthe
while planning the Lewis robbery
The prisoner was originally arrest
ed on charge of stealing from the
Aldine hotel. where he had been a
chef. He walked into detective head
quarters and described the hotel thief
and told where he lived. When the de-
.ectives went with him to the home Of
he alleged thief. they discovered he
was the man. When they told him he
vas the thief, he simply said Il know;
just wanted to see if you could pick
ne up on description"
He said he could not sleep because
lie heard the cries of Mrs. Lewis g.
'ear-old child in his ears, and for that
eason confessed to having committed
