NOT MANY CAPITALISTS,

!
some time ago the American Fedora t'lif'-
ZIONIST contained statement to the ef-
feet that it had q suspicion that the
money FOR the special train on when when.
Mr.. Debs made a tour Of the country ll'tfS
was furnished by capitalists hostile 70
union labor. The Federationist asked
that a list Of campaign contributions
be published. The list has been pub
lished in an official bulletin issued IN
Chicago. 1t contains the names OF IN
the neig hborhood Of 5000 contrlputors,
and their contributions range from ten
cents up. There are number OF DOL
lar and a few one-hundred dollar con-
tributions. one name stands opposite
$500. But no large capitalists, or cor cor
porations are in evidence among the
contributors. We make this statement
because the paragraph in the Federa-
ZIONIST was widely copied in the press

THE DEATH PENALTY.

T. I. d % j
Frederick Bunsman of Seattle in an
address before the American Bar Asso-
citation recently convened in that city
renewed the old complaint as to the
failure of capital punishment to accom-
splish its purposes.
He says that in 1907 we had five times
as many homicides in proportion to
orr population as in 1881. In 1906 "one
culprit In every seventy-siX was hang
ed, but in the next year only eighty
three.
The Seattle Attorney gives strong
reasons for the increasing failures OF
Justice. He speaks tittingly Of the
necessity for moral education, and then
questions the value Of the death PEN
atty in these words:
'Inever thought the time would come Nc
when l should believe that the death
penalty might well be abolished, put =
suuency of acauittals, that its rigors
are of doubtful use. The spectacle OF
mar lighting for his life appears
strongly to the sentimental character
of our people, and l must remind you
that all laws must be passed in the
spirit of the race that has TO enloree
them. At every murder trial the news
papers and the public abound an sucn
explanations as He Is making me
fight for his life" l am at last conf

Pablo Sarasate, the famous Spanish

at the age of 81, WAS one of the greatest
modern masters OF his instrument, and
perhaps the most distinguished musl-

his playing was in many respects, its
most distinguishing feature was the
''Sarasate tone" which fingers in the
minds of all who have heard it, like
the voice OF PATTI in her prime. 1t was
not a large tone as compared with that
of Joachim or Wilhelmj. but it was
absolutely pure and had an intensity

Uncle jesse knight Says 1t was not.
The Tribune says it was.
Mr.. Knight on the oath OF this month
lin reply to the question: Has there
A been any pressure brought TO bear upon
you from any of the authorities OF the
Church to which you belong to prevent
you accepting the nomination." said
Y ID a News, representatives:
Most decidedly, NO. have not re-4
eeived any advice from those in au-
4 thority, either to accept or reject the
nomination. The nomination came to

IT,
In his letter to the State Chairman

the Tribune, With its usual impudence,
assails the character of MI. knight by
throwing doubt upon the veracity OF
mis- statement. It says:
8.It will be seen from the letter that
! the NEST important reason for the dec
iinatior Is not given, that of church in
3 tcrference, which came through Pro-
lessor George H. Brimhall. president of
Brigham Young university ut Provo.
Has a friend no longer the right to
speak to friend on politics without
provoking the cry of church interfer-9
snce?
When Uncle jesse Knight has spoken.
does anyone hesitate in accepting his
word ut its full value, because of the.
unsupported assertion of a VIGOROUSLY
unreliable newspaper?
Does the Tribune know what Uncle
Jesse Knights motives are better than
he does himself? Or does the sheet
dare to insinuate that he Is not perfect.

The following from the Salt Lake
Herald is well deserved rebuke to
the politicians who are always on the
lookout for a chance to- inject anti
.Mormonisrn'' into their politics Dis
eussing the final decision of Mr.. Knight
to decline the nominatiorHfor governor
the Herald says:
..The reason which governed his de-
cision. and the additional personal fac
tors known 10 his friends are legiti-
mate and conclusive. Even under the
I very great pressure brought to bear,
Few men would have decided otherwise.
Nor does the banal charge that he was
deferred from acceptance by church
authority need any serious discussion.

SHIPMENTS Reach
$20,OOO,OOO MARK

The sugars shipped this season
from Hawaii which have reached the
market have now hit the 2O-million-
dollar mark.
The Sugar Factors Company has
compiled figures showing that up un-
til June ! the total amount of sugar
shipped by the plantations controlled
by IL amounted to 25S.5S2 tons. of
which amount 200,254 tons had
reached the market, leaving a bal
ance of 5S,S2S tons still ahoat.
All of this sugar has been shipped
by steamer with the exception of
that brought to the market by the
Erskine NJ. Phelps and the Fort
George, which are the first of the
Cape Horn fleet to have reached
their destination. The Phelps left
Feb. 10 and arrived at New York
May 2S, thus making the voyage in
80 days. The Fort George left Feb.

trip in l0l days. The Phelps car

The average price received>for all
the sugar mentioned above was
4.175 cents a pound. or $3.50 n
ton. Figuring the total at 200, 900
tons, the price received by the Sugar
Factors sugar amounts in round mum
bers to $l6,7OO,O0O.
To this amount must be added the
sugars sent from Hawaii by planta-
tions outside of the Sugar Factors.
1t is estimated that of this about If
ty thousand tons must have reached
the market by this time, and. valuing
this at the same rate as the other,
would make the gross value on the
whole total $4,175,000, or a total
value of all the Hawaiian sugars
from Hawaii marketed. of nearly

SURVEYS ARE BEGUN
AT PEARL HARbOR

Yesterday afternoon, the first
work which has actually been done
by the new naval engineers on the
ground ut Pearl Harbor was begun,
when a surveying party, under the
charge of Mr.. Burrell, assistant to
Engineer Parks, went to the scene
of action, and began operations at
once. Mr.. Burrell will have the d.
rect supervision Of the work on the
ground at Pearl Harbor, while Mr..
Parks will do his work for the most
part from the Office in the naval sta
ton here, as he has charge of what
work is to be done on docks and the
like in this city, as well as at Pearl
Harbor.
Since arriving here, Mr.. Parks has
spent u good deal of time figuring on
q scale of wages to be paid the men
who are to be employed for the
work. There was no scale, and he
had to take time to it. in order to
get the matter SO adjusted that it
would safely pass the Auditors Of
flee. He expects to get all through
with this some time today, and will
get a boring crew and outfit on the
ground by Monday.
