 Prohibition Is Iuinracticable. It does noI accomplish results. The law is cvaded. especially in large states, where the sentiment of the masses is against it."

 MT. Thomas Morgan, socialistic labor agitator in Chicago. has taken cent speech he said:
 Drink is not the cause of poverty it is the result. When the work is hardest and most monotonous. then drink is indulged in most Give a man d reason for living and his appetite for drink will be destroyed. Go tv the board of trade-wherever there is spec ulation and undue excitement. alter nate eXhilarations over winnings and depresSions on account of losings- there. too. is intemperance. I've made a stake. boys. come and have drink ' T am down on my luck, and will go and brace up with glass of whiskey" Take away these extremes and you have sobriety.
 There is good deal of truth in this view of the subject
 Kansas City Times (Dem.)
 If the crime of drunkenness was brought about wholly by inpersonal influences. and if a mans environments were the sole cause of his condition, then the idea of prohibition might be Jenable as a theory. But is this true in scarcely any case? As a matter of fact, does not drunkenness act from within Is not the desire to drink born with the man, and does it not grow with his growth and strengthen with his strength? Is he not, there fore. rather to be reforrfed from within than without? Had he nol better rely Uton God. and all the ministrations which Gods ministers give always so Christianly, than upon any statute law which can be cheated, juggled with and bambOOzled with until 1t will no more hold water than a sieve? Laws were never intended for. and are, in the very nature of things. powerless as. producers of moral reforms in so- ciety Wholesome laws are but reflexes of improved moral sentiment in a,com- munity. and in no sense the causes producing it. A great many people make the mistake of supposing that law is all powerful: that no matter what reform is proposed. no matter what destruction of old things. or old usages. or old prejudices the propOsi- lion involes. all that is necessary is to pass a law. No greater mistake was ever made"

SALT RIVER BRIDGE
 SURVEY ASKED FOR
Petition of Commercial Bodies on Both Sides of the River Presented to the Board of Supervisors.

The subject of a wagon bridge over Salt river was systematically ap- preached early this week by represent atives of both sides of the river. The board of supervisors was waited upon and asked to make a survey of the river between here and Tempe for the purposes of determining the best site for bridge from an engineering standpoint as well as having in mind the greatest accommodation of the public. The supervisors stated that if the matter came before them in the form of q petition representing both sides of the river. they would endeav- or to secure enough money from some of the road or other funds to make the investigation asked for.
 The boards of trade of Mesa City Tempe and Phoenix, and the Maricopa County Commercial club, thereupol appointed representatives to draw up such a petition. sign il and present it. This was done and early action is hoped for The report or the repre- sentatives and the copy of the petition was read to the Phoenix board of trade yesterday, the following being copy:

railroad to build at Third West street. the
natural result would be the compelling OF
the company, in conjunction with the Salt
Lake Route, to build at Academy avenue.
TO set all doubts at rest as TO this mat
ter, General Manager Wells, of the Salt
Lake Route, and General Superintendent
Z. Stenger OF the Rio Grande railroad,
on April IA sent communication to e.
F. Decker the present mayor of Provo,
and George Powelson, president of the
council. stating that If the franchise COW
ering the Third West street location were
not granted, there would be no union
station. as the railroads had definitely de-
cided upon the Third West street site.
A few days later the report was spread
throughout Provo that the members of
the city council, wishing to see the union
station built. were going to grant the
Third West street franchise. 1t was said
that there were six cOuncilmen In favor
Of the franchise and four against it.

Depot Franchise CROSSINGS.

f1Tst-The franchise asks permission to
lay a second main line track and par
ailel to their present main line from
aDout second East to Sixth or Seventh
West. This is for the purpose of double
tracking their line between Provo and
SAT- Lake City and is a necessity for the
proper and safe conduct of the public
business. double track means less de-
lay to traffic and greater safety to the
travelling public, as everyone knows. This
we think is reasonable request and
should be granted.
Second-Permission is asked to put all
tracks that are now north of the Rio
Grande station, except the z. c. NJ. l..
track, south of the new Rio Grande
freight house. This is simply a matter
of shifting the track from one location
to another and is asking for nothing they
do not in fact already control. BY chang
ing the tracks Sixth South street between
First East and First West is left in much
better condition and allows double the
room for team traffic, and is, therefore,
direct benefit 10 the public. We think
this request is also a reasonable one.
'This-The franchise calls for the clos
ing of Sixth South between Second and
Fourth West. There are only about thir-
teen feet of this street between the above
named streets open to team traffic at
of the street to be closed a driveway
between Second and Fourth West will be
thrown open, north of the depot and ap-
proximately forty feet in width, there
by giving the public a thoroughfare three
times as wide as that part of Sixth
South to be closed. Is there anything
detrimental to the public? Is not this
provision of the franchise lair and rea-
sonable? We think it is, and that all
fair-minGed citizens will favor granting
this request. We notice one of our Provo
papers states the value of the franchise
asked for Is a quarter of a million dol
lars outside of the closing of the thir-
teen-foot driveway between Second and
Fourth West on Sixth South.
THE railroads are not asking for the

Suspicion was directed toward Lamphere

A Dakota Victim.
Andrew Helgelein spent almost a month
visiting Mrs. Guinness and others in this
city and was supposed to have started
on a trip to Norway and Sweden He
has never been heard of since. Helgelein,
who was a well dressed young man from
Aberdeen, s. D., appeared in town one day
last winter with Mrs Guinness and called
at the savings bank. lie ndu Win nam
a draft for Sc, 600 which he wished cashed.
The bank did not know the man and it
would not accept Mrs. Guinness indorse-
ment for so large an amount. and so the
draft was left there for collection 1t was
drawn on bank in Aberdeen, S. ID. In
a few days the money for the draft came
and il was turned over to the man.
Apparently this money was turned over
to Mrs Guinness for Immediately there
after she paid a note of $500 at the bank
and paid other bills, after which she made
a deposit of about 500 in the state bank.
About the time this man arrived Ray
Lamphere, who had been working for
Mrs. Guinness. came to the sheriff and
told him that there was q strange man
at the Guinness house: that he came from
Aberdeen, s. D., and that he was wanted
there for murder and robbery. The sher-
iff put an officer to watching the man
while he investigated the matter. The
investigation disclosed the fact that there
had been no murder committed in Aber-
deem, and that this man was not wanted

his information in a letter from friends
in A Aberdeen.
The last seen here of Helgelein was one
morning some days later when ne left
for Chicago. A few days afterward the
savings bank received an inquiry from

Lawyer Reminded Judge.


In Provo il was stated yesterday that
Judge Booth did not ask Judge Morse 10
hear the case until after Lawyer Thur
mani representing the city council. had
reminded him Of his visit to Councilman
KnudsOn.
Uncle Jesse knight stated that he
had asked for the injunction on Monday.
April 20, because he had reasons to he
lieVe that the Provo council would on
that night pass the depot franchise oTdi-
nance.
Il learned that the council stood 6 to 4
in favor of the franchise" he said. The
Third West street depot site is a selfish
proposition. My appearance in the dispute
is due solely to my interests in the Brig
ham Young university and to my desire
to see fair play to property owners in
Provo. If there is a row between the
east side and the west side it was GER
tainly begun by the west side"
One of the advocates of the depot fran
chise, in discussing the matter yeSter-
day. said:
1.-THE franchise asked for is fair and rea-
sOnable alike to the citizens and railroads.
In the first place Sixth South street from
about First East TO Fifth West is prac-
tically taken up by the two roads. The
abutting property is not desirable for res
licences, but valuable for warehouses and
