In this case, the public at large
looked upon Judge Lands fine as a
huge joke. Not one man in a hundred
believed that it would ever be col
lected. The danger is that the corpor-
alton may now go scot free, because
there is strong reaction against radi-
cal measures. If a penalty of three
months Imprisonment upon the men
responsible for the lawless acts had
been imposed, justice would have been
better served, and the punishment
would probably have stood the test of
higher courts.

Every month brings us so much
nearer to the completion of the Pan

country will receive new and great

freight will be an essential object
3. The transportation facilities
even now, are excellent; but a grow.
ing manufacturing center will capse

4. Our proximity TO gulf harbors
and the competition among them win
prove large saving in carrying on
export trade. There is no doubt what
ever that with the completion of the
canal, South America will be rendered
commercially tributable to the United
states. Many of our sister republics
south OF US are still in the early stages
OF development owing to sparsity OF
population and lack of capital. These
conditions will rapidly change under
the impetus of closer proximity. and II
may safely be predicted that American
enterprise and capital will play a lead
| ing role in that development.
For these reasons, which capital will

Conpany's Fine.

In all countries where free insti-

more or less subject or amenable to
public opinion. There are few judges
so cold-blooded as to be Indifferent of
the effect which their decisions will
cause, and consequently the spirit of
the law is sometimes stretched to the
utmost.
The methods by means of which the
Standard Oil Company gained its
enormous wealth have been aired in
the courts and were found to be un-
lawful, the penalty attached to such
violations of the law being a fine or
imprisonment. There is, however, a
halo surrounding immense wealth
which screens its owner from the more
rigorous and personal punishment. A
jury would hesitate to send to jail a
man of John d. Rockefeller's reputed
wealth; and judge must be a strong
minded man indeed, who would impose
a punishment before which a jury
would hesitate.
1t must be considered also that this
is q commercial age, and that the
means to stifie or circumvent compe
tition are easily condoned even by
those who suffer from such methods
because they feel that no conscien
tious scruples would restrain them

The Only Possible War.

A German student, with the pains
taking efforts common to his school,
has calculated that the cost of a years
war would approximate $4,000, 900, 900
in actual money. The loss in taking
millions of men from their work, and
that suffered by commerce would
amount to even more than that i'm
mense amount
In previous centuries wars were
undertaken to further ambitious pro-
jects of an autocrat. Such was the
age of Louis XIV of France, the
Grand Monarque' who by his gran
deur sowed the seeds of the French
revolution. Such wars have become
impossible. The only reason for an
armed conflict is when the national
life, or the nations vital interests are
at stake; and even in the last men
tioned case, people would prefer to re-
sort to international arbitration rather
than to. the dreaded alternative.
National life can be endangered only
when racial struggle threatens. The
Yellow Peril is no longer a mere phan-
tom or if it still IS, it has assumed
definite shape. European statesmen
are anxiously watching the fast prog
ress of Chinas development. because
of all nations renders a war possible.
We have witnessed the transformation
of Japan from a nation Of teahouses
and geisha into a. warlike power of
the first class. When we remember
how secretly and. carefully the Japan
ese toiled for thirty years to achieve
that transformation, and apply the
knowledge to the fact that China with
its 426, 200, 900 people started upon the
same road seven years ago, then, with
the present and growing unrest in In
dia in our mind. we can see the time
approaching when Mongol and eau
casion will clash, and there will be a
struggle ending in the survival of the
fttest
These may seem gloomy thoughts
and forebodings but they are warrant
ed by the facts. China reached long
ago thta stage of civilization when
wholesale slaughter or war was
deemed inhuman. ANY piece of old
iron may serve as nail; any worth
less human being may serve as sol
der says an old Chinese provert
and putting this theory into practice
the Chinese lost their pugnacity until
it was resurrected by kicks and cuffs
inflicted during half century. The
resentment caused by this treatment
often thoughtIessly inflicted, has grown
into a national and rSciaI--passion.

RETURN OF F. J. MESEL.

According to f. j. Kiesel who on We'd
nesday returned from an extended trip
to California it will require 5000 to ap-
propriately represent Utah at the Irriga-
ton congress at Albuquerque. n. NJ. this
year 1t is to Mr.. Kiesel that those in
terested in the matter look for the raising
of this fund, because of the work he has
done in this direction in the past.
Mr. kiesel stated yesterday that just
as soon as he could again get control
of his private business, of which con-
siderable has accumulated during his alb
sence from the city, he would confer
with Governor Cutler and that within
a short time a meeting would be called
in this county to discuss ways and means.
The ambition of Mr.. Kiesel is to hold a
session of the Irrigation congress at
Washington, d. c., and says he will not
be happy until he accOmplishes this. This.
he holds. would enable the representa-
tives from all parts of the country to
see the great possibilities of this work to
the arid and semi-arid west.

clares, the Ogden Tabernacle choir will

BOOZE FIGHTER
LANDED IN JAIL
L. B. Graves of Nevada AS
SaultS Receiver of Ogden
Canyon Sanitarium.

Rudolph Kuchler, receiver for the Og-
zen canyon Sanitarium company, was the
victim OF an assault yesterday at the san
ltarlum, when ne was struck from behind
by l.. Il. Graves, railroad man of Win
nemucca, New, and cash several inches
long inflicted in his scalp. Graves was
arrested and is now in the county jail
According to witnesses to the affair,
Graves was pretty well loaded up with in
tOXcants and was apparently looking for
trouble. He tried to bully every one
about the place and without provocation
Knocked young man named Jenkins
down several times. Mr.. Kuchler told the
fellow TO desist and that he would have
10 act as gentleman or leave the place
Graves refused TO "cut OUT his ungen-
tlemanly actions, and Mr.. Kuchler stepped
to the telephone to summon a deputy Sher-
tiff. He had just taken the receiver from
the hook when Graves slipped uD behind
and struck him over the top of the head
with some sort of blunt instrument. The
blow knocked Mr.. Kuchler to the floor
and blood gushed from the wound.
Graves ran from the building as soon as
he had made the attack and whatever he
used to inflict the wound was discarded
at thai time. The superstition is that it
was a rock which he carried in his hand.
Mrs. Kuchler was in the room when the
blow was struck and tainted at the sight.
Graves was detained at the sanitarium UNI
til Deputy Sheriff Naylin reached there
and placed him under arrest. He was
landed at the county Jail and a warrant
was at once sworn out charging him with
assault with intent to do bodily harm.
In support Of the statement that Graves,
vino even tried to bully the officers at
the county jail, was looking for trouble, il
is stated that he did his best TO create
trouble on the street car on the way UP TO
