morally, if not legally, responsible.

WEATHER FOR SALT
THE BOWMAN AFFAIR.

Jealousy is cruel as the grave, -
wrote King Solomon a great many
wears ago. but the combination of
jealousy and whisky is even more cruel
than the grave. The murder commit
ted by Edgar Bowman. who killed his
wife and then himself Thursday night,
is directly attributable to this combi-
nation. The number of crimes of this
character is appallingly large in the
United States, although Salt Lake has
been the scene Of comparatively few of
them. Still within the last five or ten
years we have had our share, and
more than our share.
1t is difficult to understand the ma
MIA for killing that possesses some
men when they are infamed by jealou-
sy. or are under the influence of some
intoxicant. The lust for murder seems
TO overpower them, even though in
their normal condition they are as
law-abiding, sober citizens as could be
desired. The tragedy of Thursday
night contains no elements that are
new.

Ma. sANDERsoN's DEFENSE

It is a curious defense that is
being set off for John II. Sanderson,
footing the state treasury in cennec-
ton with the building of the capitol.
The defense, in effect, is that Sander
son left a little money in the treasury
when he might have taken it all. and
that consequently he should go free.
For example. he charged bnly S2I.4
for a s. clothes tree. for which he
might under his loosely drawn con-
tract. have charged s1475O. He only
got $Ss6.4O for sofa worth perhaps,
$50. when he might just as well have

RRYAN's SOUND POSITION.

RhTAN'S SOOND Posi- TON.
Speaking before the house commit
tee on the election of president and
vice president, William j. Bryan, on
Thursday, epitOmized the views of the
great majority of the thinking people
of the country when he said: An cleo
ton is a public affair, and participa-
ton i'm politics is a civic duty All ar
guments used in elections should be
plOyed TO secure the election of or to
defeat a candidate should be means
which the one using them would not
be ashamed to have the world know"
Can you find a more admirable guide
for the conduct of political affairs than
is contained in this quotation from Mr..
Bryan's speech? Every word rings
true. Our national elections are the
most important business the voters of
the nation can possibly transact, and
broad light of day. As Mr.. Bryan says,
in effect, no man resorts TO secret
methods unless he has something to
gain by them, and secret methods are
more often than not tainted with
fraud
The man who wants 10 be perfectly
fair is not afraid for the world to know
what he is doing, especially in politics.
Mr.. Bryan takes the position that it is
the duty of congress to pass a law re-
f7air he
contributors to campaign funds. He
believes that in this way, and in this
way only, viii it be possible to pre-
vent contributions from corpora tons
such as were made by the life insur-
ance companies. and disclosed by the
Investigations in New York.
The presidency of the United States
is believed by American citizens, and
properly, TO be the greatest Office in
the world. The man who goes into it
should go there without any suspicion
of fraud or underhand methods in his
election. He should go there, as nearly
as may be. his own master absolutely.
He should not be compelled to remem-
Der that his election was accom-
plished by means of contributions OF
large sums of money from people and
corporations who expect TO receive
from him by virtue of his office their
campaign expenditures with heavy in
terest added. No president can be free
who owes his election to a large cor
ruption fund, however raised.
II must be admitted that the ex-
pendituTes of a national election are
inevitably very heavy. Speakers must
be sent out: literature must be distrib-
uted: halls must be rented There are
hundreds of ways in which funds may
be leoitimately disbursed, but there is
no occasion for the raising of such
funds as, for example, was used in the
campaign of 1896 to defeat Bryan, and
it is certain that such a fund will
never be raised again. The weight of
that money brought about the election
of Mckinley to the presidency.
A1r. Bryan commented rather caus-
tically on the Republican boast that
Chairman Cortelyou had received in
the campaign of 1904 contributions
from 5000 persons. The Republicans
seemed to think il very remarkable
fact that so many people gave money
to their campaign. But Mr.. Roosevelt
received in the neighborhood of $780,
600 votes for the presidency. so that,
as Mr.. Bryan says. the contributions
constitute only a very small fraction
of this total

Suit For Libel Against pennsyl-

suits instituted against the Della

that the newspapers published
speeches made by Homer Castle at

being found guilty of forging
stamps and practicing frauds in

prived him of the Office of Cover

The political bosses shun the direct vote
plan of nominations as the devil does
holy water. The squabble in the recent
Legislature of this State demonstrated
this very conclusively, and last week at
meeting of the Democratic State
Central Committee the direct vote ghost
Ebobbed up again and caused the party
bosses another shirer before it was finally
smothered, when the supporters of Viii
liam Jennings Bryan made an effort to
get the Committee to declare in favor of
the Crawford county system for the selec-
tion of delegates to the State and national
conventions. The Committee gave the
resolution a chilly reception. refusing to
consider it. and incidentally made it
known that the Maryland delegation to
Denver would be pnpledged, in order. no
doubt, that delegates may be in position
to crawl up on the right band wagon as
soon as it has been definitely determined
who is to direct the democratic presiden-
tial music.

Guaranteed Bank Deposits.

People insure their goods by land and
sea. The custom is of long standing. 1t
has not driven capable shipbuilders and
navigators out Of business, nor retarded
the introduction of improved methods OF
house construction, nor yet laid wither-
ing blight of paternalism aud socialism
upon the world. In view of which we
hardly understand why proposal to
insure bank deposits should produce such
commotion.
The guaranty of deposits, as enacted
in Oklahoma or as proposed in the Fow-
Ter bill. is simply system of insurance.
A very small tax, or premium, levied
upon all eposits-something like forty
cents on the thousand dollars, we believe
would have covered all losses suffered
by national bank depositors through bank
failures. Such insurance would not put
good bank management at a discount. -
Nobody deposits money in any bank
unless he believes it to be thoroughly
safe. He chooses one bank rather than
another because il is more convenient or
more accommodating, or for some such
reason He would still choose the bank
that did his business most satisfactorily,
and therein the good banker would sill
have all his advantage over the indiffer-
ent or poor one.
Every good banker ought to favor
every proposal which would improve the
banking business as a whole, which
would increase public confidence in
banks in general. which would tend TO
make every man with any money deposit
il in some bank instead of boarding il,
which would lessen the probability OF
panic among deposilors in unquiet times.
Opposition TO bank deposit insurance
seems to US mostly the mere fear of a
novelty. Saturday Evening Post.

Judgment Notes Instead OF orders

Butler Co., Pa, farmers appear
to have been swindled out of from
$4,000 to $4,000 this spring.
Last fall two dapper individuals
representing themselves as agents
of large mail order house appear
ed in Butler, rented a store room
and displayed elegant fabrics.
Then they travelled all over But
Ter county and secured orders for
clothing for men and women, the
amounts ranging from $40 to $50.
The samples were excellent and the
prices low. When an order was
secured it had to be signed by the
farmer. During the past week 700
of these orders have turned up in
Butler banks in the shape of judg-
ment notes as tight as ever made.
Three weeks ago the Butler sales.
room was closed and the affable
agents disappeared. The notes are
said to have been discounted at 10
per cent.
