FESTIVITIES IN THE FIRST.

When II comes to doing sassiety
stunts en- reggie. having things recher-
che. as it were, and furnishing not only
amusement but excitement enough to
go around, our old friends. Bath House
John Coughlin and Hinky Dink Kenna
Of the First ward OF Chicago, have the
Newport swells left at the post and tied
tight to 1t.
Reading the brief and altogether in
adequate report of the annual ball Civ
en- by Chicago's TWO aldermanic lumi-
naries. one gets glimpse Of the SPLEEN
dor of the affair. In the first place, it
was given at the Coliseum, because no
other place was big enough. In the
second place, the guests included all the
First ward, and that is about the
toughest district in the country, bar
none In the third place. the Coliseum
had just been dynamited, though the
bomb missed the big building and blew
up the neighboring structures, so that
there was every chance dynamite would
be one of the attendant diversions of
the ball. a prospect that added zest TO
the occasion.
What more interesting than tripping
the light fantastic with chance of be-
ing lifted through the roof suddenly; or
what finer sensation for jaded nerves
than to face the possibility of going
home in an ambulance minus section
or two of anatomy. Beside such orig
inality in entertainment, the effort of
the Newport folks who feed monkeys at
dinner or have fancy dress balls in
bathing costumes is effete, ennui-laden
piffle.
OF course, there was business side
TO the Coliseum ball, because the Bath
House and Hinlky Dink do not let
amusement interfere with business.
The receipts from tickets were $4,000,
and the sum is supposedly meant for
campaign expenses at the next city
election in the First ward. Also, it Is
a fair measure of the progress the great
city is making toward good municipal
government in that ward, representing
as it does the tribute of vice to the men
who make vice profitable for themselves
and their constituents.

One Honest Man
Who Wants to Know

To The Salt Lake Herald:
As one of q great number OF humble CIT
liens Of Salt Lake City, who wou!u hne
10 see social conditions bettered, take
the liberty of writing TO commend you
on the sincere sentiments expressed IN
your editorial in this mornings heraiu
on the red light controversy.
There Is plenty and 10 spare OIL tne-
orizing goodness in this poor world OF
ours. but from what l have observed
in the brief period of my existence, the
orizng goodness" generally speiis ohnu
worship of surface appearances, VOL
ship which says before the eyes OF the
trusting populace we will do this, mat
and the other but we know deep GOWN
in our hearts that that which we nave
undertaken IS aimless hopeless ana ihel-
fective."
That Is the whole secret of Mayor
Bransford's trouble: not being possessed
of a nature which says one thinS ana

that we are at heart hypocritical or base

stamped out but in the event that We
cannot stamp them out we should IKE
to have it appear. or salve our consciences
by making believe that ii appears 10 nave

pearing is only apparent to the stupid
Agreeing heartily with you and all of
them that ''evil is evil" 'sin Is sin,
wrong Is wrong" and all the rest OF
these platitudes of outraged logic, l
should like to ask how can we expect
to ameliorate and eventually eradicate
these troubles by Ignoring them? Are We
helping on to that fair future day OF uni
versal light by closing our eyes to con-
ditions of today? Are We getting our
streets paved by ignoring the fact that
mud exists?
No doubt it would be a sadly amusing
spectacle to expose the souls of each of
US to all the rest of us, that we might
know, not what we like to have others
think we think, but what we do think.
In the event that such an exposition could
be made. / should like to be the one ex-

Brothers all, where do the rest of you

If L had the courage of a mule l would
sign my name to this letter, but you see
like most of us, 1 fail there. At the
same time have tried to express frankly

GOOD WORK ABROAD.

One of the most important bureaus,
from a commercial point OF view, in the
department of commerce and labor is
that Of manufactures. The foreign
trade of the United States is expanding
yearly, and the information furnished
by our consuls and commercial agents
abroad is of inestimable value TO the
business men at home. Europe, Asia
and Africa have been invaded by these
men, the wants of the people learned
and American firms supplied with the
Information The only trouble is that
we haven't enough of the agents in the
field An idea of what is being accom-
plished can be learned from the follow
ing extract from the repor o. John NJ.
Carson. chief of the bureau:
Perhaps the most extensive feature
Of the foreign trade opportunity service
lately developing has been in railroad
supplies. The bureau received its first
blue print specifications for such equip
ment from Egypt in October. 1907, and
in the remainder of the fiscal year
eighteen additional blue print specifica-
tons were received and furnished in ro-
tation to American firms interested.
These involved contracts amounting to
many millions of dollars. Chances have
thus been presented for the construction
of railways. both steam and electric,
from Russia, Austria, Italy. Spain.
Norway, Portugal and Belgium, in
Europe; from China, Japan, Siam
and India in Asia: from Argentina,
Brazil, Chile and Peru, in South Ameri-
ca; from Africa, Central America, West
Indies, Mexico, Canada and Australia.
The number of letters received from
American firms relating to the foreign
trade opportunities in the fiscal year
1905 was $3.50"
The principal competitors of the
United States for the worlds trade are
Great Britain and Germany, the latter
having many men in all remote corners
taking notes and drumming up custom.
1t would seem to be good policy for this
country to increase its staff of agents
and be a little more liberal in the mat
ter of appropriations. that Yankee
thrift and enterprise may be rewarded
to the utmost.

POLITICAL ANECDOTE.

A politician who was making house
toulouse canvass during a recent election
came to a farm house. when he observed
a young woman standing at the gate anC

politely asked:

band is at homer"
Yes responded the woman.

party. in honor of Senator and Mrs.

The occasion was in the nature of a

ly, that in the little social circle pres
ent, were the senatorial incumbents,
democratic and republican, from this
district, for the past sixteen consecu-

ROBT. ORR
RESIGNED

Robert A. Orr, one of the leading
fruit growers of the valley and who
for number of years has been a
member of the school board OF this
city and district, has rendered his
resignation as member of the board,
to take effect at an early date.
The resignation of Mr.. Orr will
cause much surprise, as few people
knew that he was contemplating
such action.
Mr.. Orr states that he simply has
not time to devote the attention to
the duties of the office that the du-
ties really require, and for this rea-
son he gives up the office. His term
would not have expired for another
year.
Mr.. Orr has made a very satisfac-
tory director, and his resignation will
be generally regretted.

HER STORY
TERRIBLE

One of the most horrible stories
ever related on a witness stand in
Grand Junction was told this after
noon in a preliminary hearing in
the court of Justice J. p. Sweeney by
Bessie Moffet. a comely girl of about
II years. who accused her father of
injuring her in a most inhuman man.
ner.
Henry Moffet. the accused man, is
DeBeque ranchman. and, until this
awful charge was brought against
him. had borne a good reputation,
and his arrest created a big sensation
in DeBeque. He is a man apparently
of about A years, fine physique and
of goodly appearance.
On the witness stand the young
girl. in unfolding her terrible story.
declared that her father had i'm
properly treated her during a period
of a number of years. She stated
that she would not have complained
against him at this paticular time
had she not found herself in a con-
dition that made disclosures neces-
sary. She stated that her mother
told her. after her mother had
learned her story, that she must take
steps against her father, whom the
girl accused. The girl claims that
she had always protested against her
fathers actions to him, but, to pro-
tect the name of the family, had
long delayed making charges.
The mother of the girl and
younger sister, the latter claiming
TO know of the alleged criminal re-
lations between daughter and father
for some time, were the principal
witnesses. besides the young girl her
self, against her father
The evidence given by the witness
es for the prosecution was very dam
aging.
During all of this testimony the
defendant sat beside his attorney. ].
w. Rozze1le, and looked the various
witnesses. all members of his family,
squarely in the face, and did not
seem to be affected in the least by
the testimony.
Henry Moffet declares that he is
innocent of the charges preferred
against him and that he is the vic
tim of a domestic conspiracy. He
will probably take the stand for him
self late this afternoon.
Moffet seems to have many friends
who believe that he will be able to
prove his innocence. while there are
many other people who are inclined
to believe the girls story, and it
must be said that the girl told her
story of shame and abuse in most
manner.
The evidence of the little sister of
the complaining girl was terrific in
its import. She was not shaken in
her statements accusing her father
of mistreating her sister, by the
cross examination.
The evidence of the old mother was
strong.
Attorney Welsh is conducting the
prosecution.

swerved almost without warning and
ran squarely into the post The
tongue was splintered to slivers and
the wagon was badly broken IN and
the driver was hurled several 80 rds
to one side of the road. Nett r of
the horses were badly hurt arl the
