A CLEANUP NEEDED.

The time has come for the police to
rid this city of its undesirable citizens.
The time has come to do away with
the dcns of vice. the low saloons and
rooning houses and other places where
CROOKS and thugs are known to con-
gregate. There are in Salt Lake City
breeding places for crime that cannot,
in al conscience, be tolerated longer.
1t is up to the police department to act
promptly, and in their action they will
have the support of every reputable
citizen.
That two thugs can get together in
much frequented resort and there.
after they have been warned to leave
the city, after they have been arrested
with concealed deadly weapons in their
possession, with one of those weapons
covered with blood, is absolutely in
tolerable. This happened in the case
of the murder of PatroIman Ford.
There was no necessity for that muir
der Il could have been prevented. and
1t should have been prevented.
In any other city in the land men
who carry concealed weapons are pun-
ished for carrying them. Especially is
this true when the prisoners are known
10 be desperate characters. and when
there is prima facie evidence that
shows that they have either been
guilty of a graver crime or are about
10 commit one. We are told that our
law against carrying concealed deadly
weapons is not explicit enough Well,
then, let us make it so explicit that
there viii be no possibility of misin-
terprets ton.
The city council, If our information
/ is correct. has authority 10 legislate on
this subject. 1t is not necessary to
wait for the next legislature to assem-
BILE and enact a statute. The council
should pass an ordinance imposing a
penalty Of a heavy fine ard imprison-
ment for the man who carries a re-
volver concealed about his person. And
then the ordinance should be enforced.
Nine out of ten men who carry pistols.
unless they are officers of the law, are
criminals at heart.
Nine out Of ten of them carry a pis-
tOl Cor the purpose of taking some
body at disadvantage, and, so taking
them, to kill them if necessary TO the
completion Of their purpose. There is
no difficulty elsewhere about punish
ing pistol carriers. Why should there
be any difficulty here? To permit to
remain unamended and unstrengthened
a law SO vague that the discharge of
murderous thugs is possible is care
lessness that amounts in itself to GRIM
inality. Certainly It affords encourage
ment to crimes of violence.
Make Salt Lake City so hot for the
criminal element that they cannot
stand it. Never let them rest mo-
ment Keep eternally and everlasting
ly after them. The police force is
small. too small, but a few courageous.
vigilant. determined men can work
wonders in that line.

HUMoR OF LoNDoN's BISHOP.

NboSiOn IfdnScrlpt.)
The Bishop of London's humor. now
tender and kind. now sardonic and
cruel made him many friends in Amer
lea.
THE bishop amused me-" said a
clergyman, at a dinner of divines In
New York. We divines are a modest
lot. but occasionally our self-restraint
gets the better of US. and then we brag
and boast and make ourselves ridicu-
lous.
"A Boston divine at this dinner got 10
telling us about a begging sermon he
had recently preached
I don't wish to brag or boast he
began. nor would have you think me
conceited, but, gentlemen, / assure
you
"And then at great length he told us
how women had wept at his begging
sermons pathos. strong men had emit
ted hOarse sobs. and in an avalanche
the contributions had poured in-gold
and greenbacks checks. even Jewels.
and watches and great heaps
But here the Bishop of London
leaned forward with twinkle i'm his
eye.
By the way, brother he said, could
you lend me that sermon?'"

to set a reasonable amount of rest be-
fore the dawning of another day
Weston's long walk will. however
be a good thing if it stimulates inter-
est N that exercise. Here in Salt Lake
the people have special reason to walk
for the Psalmist has specially enjoined
them to walk about Zion and go
round about her. Surely no further
advice is needed. The man who walks
dowa to his work i'm the morning will
come &c that work with keener in
terest in it than the man who makes
d habit of riding. His eyes will have
been opened. the cobwebs will have
been blown out of his brains, his lungs
will be full of fresh air.
Fear of catching cold impels a great
MANY people TO bundle themselves up
so that even the exercise of walking
to the nearest street car starts a per-
spiration. Then they are chilled by
cooling off too rapidly in the car, and
by tae time they get down town they
are wondering how in the world they
caught such a cold. They thought they
had taken every precaution. when, as
a matter of fact, they invited the cold.
Colds are taken oftener through I'M
wise precautions against them than
through what seems to be careless
ness.
Men leave their warm offices in the
chill days of early winter and, arrayed
in their hunting clothes, go out and sit
through a snowy. blustery day in a
duck blind. Often, in wading after
ducks they have killed, they step into
holes and their boots fill with water.
Sometimes they are wet to the skin all
over. Yet they comparatively rarely
catch cold. This because they are
moving about, because they are in the
open air; because. in short, they are
getting the exercise they need.
It is not possible for all of us to go
out duck shooting Neither is it pos
sible for all of us to fit out gymna-
Sums ir our homes or to take courses
in athletics in outside gymnasiums. 1t
it possible for every individual in or
binary health and in possession of
sound legs to walk and get the full
benefit of the exercise. Our advice to
all of them is to try it, Try walking
through the snow. Walk every day
for a month or six weeks. Give the
system a fair trial and see if you are
not better off as a result of it.

ONE FAULT HIDING ANOTHER.
Washington STAR


A Christian Scientist of Boston was
praising the late Earl of Dunmore.
Lord DunmOre, he said. was
good Christian Scientist and a good
man. Tall and robust and supple l can
see him still with his short gray beard
and his kind face His only fault-a
fault due to his aristocratic upbrinSing,
no dOubt-was the exaggerated value
that he set upon correctness. He in
sisted on correctness in eating, in dress,
in everything.
AT a dinner in Beacon street last
year I heard him tell a story about an
incorrect self-made man, or 'nouveau
richie as he called him.
This man was dressing one evening
TO go out. His wife hustled into the
room before he started to look him
over.
But, George she said, reproach-
fully, aren't you going TO wear your
diamond studs to the banquet
No. What's the use2' George
growled. My napkin would hide 'em

THE Lovely BOOK.

The Lovey book of cartoons, which
was placed on sale some days ago. is
being rapidly disposed of. The pro-
ceeds of this sale will, as is generally
known, be used for the benefit of the

and for his baby girl. Still, it is not
an appeal for charity that the COM

Everybody who has read The Herald
during the past ten years. and up to a
year ago, is familiar with Alan Loveys
work as a cartoonst.
The book is made up of $50 of
Lovey's best cartoons, covering a wide
range of subjects and presenting much
of the local as well as the national
history of politics for period OF ten
years The Herald knows of but few
Christmas presents the giving of which
would cause more pleasure to donor
and recipient than a copy of this book.
It should be in every Salt Lake libra
~. because in the years to come it's
value will continually increase and it
will always afford interest and enter
tainment
It seems hardly necessary for The
Herald TO comment on the character
of the Lovey cartoons. With def, sure
strokes Lovey pictured the prominent
characteristics of our prominent men.
And he always pictured them in way
that was devoid of offense, though
never missing the point at which he
aimed. He gave US the laughter with

THE BATTLEFIELD.
Baltimore SUM

baltimore SUM-
A mothers heart is battlefield
A mothers heart is a nest
Where love leans down with snowy shield
And lips that sing to rest.
mothers heart Is the plain where meet
Through all her days of life
The legions of the childhood feet
The glittering ghosts of strife.
A mothers heart is a field of war
Where none may know. may see.
The wounds that bleed, the guns that roar
The anguish hours that be.
mothers heart is battles home,
But. oh, so few have knclt
With her where shadows fill the gloam,
Have felt what she has felt
A mothers heart is warfare's realm;
In il, unseen of time
Rage the grim wars that OVerWhelm
But for her faith sublime.
A mothers heart is where she hides
So much she never tells.
So much that in her soul abides
And conquering lovehood quells
A mothers heart-oh sacred place
Oh, tempted fate. how fair
To kneel beside its shrine of grace,
To kneel and worship there.
A mothers heart is calm retreat
Is rest and love and song.
And round it, oh. how tender sweet
The shades of memory throng.
A mothers heart has seen so much,
Has felt and borne and known
The rugged blow. the tender touch.
Within its wandering zone:
Has borne so much for those that lean
Upon its help and trust,
Has done so much TO keep them clean,
To lift them from the dust
A mothers heart is a battlefield
Where sacred strife has been,
Where spear on spear and shield on shield
Hath ragged the battle din.
Oh. holy shrine, inviolate spot.
Where love and memory come
When all the rest of lifes forgot,
When all the rest is dumb.

Where none is near me to advise:
Far off from that officious tribe.

To say that they have suffered. too,
And know exactly what to do

With their especial sort of dope.

There was no one at the house at
