The Election Of TAFT Would Be a
Great National Sin.

The Rev. H. C. Morrison, editor of

large number of letters to him about
his editorial against Taft, says:

testing against the election of man

OF the Herald. Among these commu-
nications, coming from every quarter
there has been only one of adverse
criticism.

that Mr.. Taft has said kind things Of

REFORM WAVE
STIRS INTEREST
Mavor Brewer Called Upon by
Ministers and Drink
Dispensers.
COUNTY BOARD TAKES A HAND
Writes strong Letter TO City Council
suggesting Other Changes for Bet
ternient of Local Conditions.

ogden. March S.---The reform wave is
stirring things up in Ogden. Mayor
brewers action In closing the saloons
on sundays and at midnight meets
with general approval. The Ministerial
association yesterday called upon the
MAYOR. commended his course and dis
cussed other needed reforms. notably
the closing of theaters and other
places Of amusement on Sundays.
The retail liquor dealers later called
upon the mayor to protest against tho
reforms and to learn what was the
policy of tho present city adrninistra-
tion. They were assured by the mayor
that his stand was such that he would
net revoke the orders that had been
issued a few days ago regarding Sun
day closing. He also assumed the po-
stion that their other suggestions re-
gardng the allowing of saloons to he
open after u o'clock at night during
the week, etc, would be considered.
The county commissioners seem also
to have become interested in the re-
form movement, as they sent in a com.
prehensive communication to the coun-
ell last evening respecting the better
ment of the city and the need of con-
cered action between the city and
county officers to attain that end. The
commissioners call attention to the
powers OF the council, among which is:
1.-THE city has the power to suppress
and prohibit bawdy houses, houses of
in lame designation, lewdness, pros
titution, etc, etc" The other refer
enees are toward Furnishing and pro-
hlblting selling or giving intoxicants
10 minors, insane persons and habitual
drunkards. etc.
The commissioners hold that In di-
rcctlng the affairs of the city and
county governments II sometimes is
found difficult to determine where the
duty of each commences and ends, and
that this condition has caused I'M
pleasant friction between the two gov
erning bodies. Especial attention Is
called 10 the caring for the INDECENT
poor which falls upon the county.
Attention is directed to the meeting
Of the board with the chief of police q
week ago, which was held for the pur-
pose of a more rigid enforcement OF
the state and city laws for the sup
preston of certain evils. A consider
able portion of the letter is directed
toward the habitual drunkards, who,
1t IS charged, have been permitted to
hang and loiter around saloons and
opium dens until they have become so
with alcoholic diseases and
tie debasing effects of morphine that
the county has had to provide for their
care and treatment.
A number of cases in point with their
are cited and the commits,
sioners hold that in cases where pow
erty or distress occur from the causes
indicated as the result of the alcoholic
traffic from which the city receives Il
large license. such expense was never
