SHEETS ACQUITTED.

A good while ago, as time is meas
ured in this fast age, couple of
strangers entered this city for the
purpose of looking around, examining
opportunities, and then investing or
moving on as their inclination might
be. They were thrifty fellows, having
been able to save up the snug little
fortune of $4,000 and carrying it in
cold cash upon their persons. AS
sharks of mid-ocean scent corpse on
ship board and follow the vessel in
anticipation of the body eventually
reaching them, so do professional
hold-ups, card sharps and sure-thing
men scent a new arrival with money,
and never relax their efforts until they
land him by one means or another.
1t is undoubtedly the case that Salt
Lake has considerably more than its
share of this gentry, one of the rea-
sons being the immunity extended to
lawlessness in all its forms. To
shorten long story, the strangers
were soon robbed of all their money.
With the thieves, or some of them,
right in his presence, self-exposed and
self-confessed, George Sheets, chief
of police, made no arrests because, as
he says, he wasn't asked to! Perhaps
nowhere else where civilization holds
sway would such an excuse have been
offered, certainly nowhere else would
it have been accepted. 1t is well es
tablished that the McWhirters were
robbed of $4,000 and buncoed out of
$1,000 more, the rogues were red
handed in the presence of the man
whose duty it was above all men to
have placed them within the strong
grasp of the law, yet he refrained
from doing so because their cards of
invitation had not yet arrived from
the printing office! 1t is enough to
make an upright man swear in the
presence of his grandmother.
A jury of eight good and true men
has just said Sheets is guiltless. Let's
call it all off and say that no one is
guilty-"Sondy" and "Weelum" had
a pipe dream, that's all; anyway, that
is all the satisfaction they will get
out of the transaction, unless they
can take comfort from the knowledge
that they have contributed something
toward helping this town maintain its
reputation as a place where the guilt

cline most do congregate in order to

WE DON'T KNOW MUCH.
BY EDWIN A. NYE.
Copyright, 1908. by Edwin A. Nye

1t behooves the scientist to sing low
these days. Heretofore he has been
rather too dogmatic. If, for instance
Radium may be changed into helion
then some of the well settled princi-
pies of science" are knocked into
smithereens. The discovery of radium
itself was hard blow.
Truth is powerful wedge 1t splits
theory logs smack open. The prating
of the sure enough who is certain of
his conclusions is often made to sound
like the puerile prattling of a child
talking in the dark.
A learned -Haeckel-in his
book riddle of the Universe" takes
several kinds of kinks out of the
boastful know-all
He says we don't know much
And comes mighty near proving 1t.
He says we play at putting up big
things-high buildings, great bridges,
huge engines and such. But he says
we do not know even little bit about
how to prevent murder, suicide theft
and poverty.
He hits us hard there
We boast of our civilization and
point to its indices = railroads, ma.
chimes, news transmitters, etc.
Why, Diogenes made fun of that
sort of progress" 1000 years ago
He got out his tub and rolled 1t through
the streets Of Athens and said, THAT
is all there is to your boosted prog
ress''-simply making the wheels &C
round.
Haeckel says we don't know much
about a man. We don't know where
he got either his mind or his body. We
don't know very much about how hs
can best use either body or mind.
We don't know very much about the
proper relation of men to government
Our political economy stops short Of
the problem of distribution.
Haeckel says we know scarcely any
thing about the prevention of crime
Sin and suffering are problems as sc
rious as IN David's time.
He tells US it is the fault of ou
educational system that we do no
know more He says our education
skips the really important things.
Maybe.
Anyway. we don't know much.
