HOW is THIS?


The Chief of Police In his report
makes this most astounding proposi-
ton:
PROSTITUTION is certainly a question
hard to dispose Of and being a neces-
sary evil there is only one way in
which It could be successfully handled,
which is as follows:
Let the city set aside piece OF
ground OF sufficient size TO accommo-
date several hundred of these prostl-
tutes. Enclose same carefully with
high fences; build cottages or houses
to accommodate these inmates; charse
them rent: license them and place them
under control of the police department
as to their safety and confinement, and
to the board of health as to their clean
illness and sanitary condition"
Nothing like it was ever before rec
commended by chief of police in This
city, and it is safe TO say never will be
again. The state laws are absolutely
ignored in the recommendation. The
more one considers the suggestion, the
more drumbfounded one is

II costs a city n great deal OF money
to have a national convention Denver
voted 100000 for the erection OF n
suitable auditorium in which to hold
the gathering that Is to nominate the
Democratic candidate for the presi-
dency, but it seems that as much more
Is needed before the building is com
pleted The structure has already cost
S515.0O0 without the Interior decord-
tlons And II Is estimated that before
II Is put into shape 1t viii cost fully
S75O.OO0
According to a Denver dispatch It is
charged that the drawing plans were
first made for building too big to az
the lot on which IT was to stand. by
five of six inches In length and four
TO Ave feet in width. II has also been
charged that an attempt was made TO
put fiat roof on this big open she'll
building instead OF an arch roof. 1t
Is also declared that some glaring err
rors were made In computing the tensile
and supporting strength of the various
parts Of this roof. and had the plans
been carried out II is declared there
would have been catastrophe. Denver
will pay for the honor of having the
convention. but the occasion may be
worth all 1t costs.
In reading OF the alleged mistakes in
the first drawings. one naturally is re-
minded of the wisdom of the early
architects who constructed the Taber-
nacle In this City an architectural
monument that never fails to elicit the
admiration OF visitors. say what you
will of "Mormonism" you cannot
truthfully say that the founders of the
Church were dreamcrs and Missionaries
who did not understand the practical
side OF life. They were practical in
every way, and their wisdom appears
all the greater when compared to The
folly of some who, no doubt, consider
themselves very wise.

is sELT-CoNDEMNED

The Salt Lake Tribune is now self
condemned in the matter OF its story
about the letter read at Syracuse a
few Sundays ago
As we contended. at the time, there
was no reference to polygamy directly
or indirectly, and no statement was
made as to the membership of non
1.-THE payers. That Is proved by the
letter published by the Tribune.
The reference to the tithlng ques-
ton is plain enough to every fair
minded reader. The letter says in
a postscript that "non-tlthe- payers
may be consistently dealt with in the
way indicated" referring to the coun-
sci given that none must be recon-
Priests Excepting on the record Of
worthiness, That there should be no
misunderstanding on this point, the
postscript says: " 4. men who assign
unbelief in the law OF tithing as their
reason for not paying tithing as un-
belief in this law clearly renders
man incompetent to bear the Priest
hood" That is the way indicated"
Nothing is said of membership. The
question IS OF worthiness to bear the
Priesthood.
But the Tribune explains its defeat,
and retreat from its originl story, on
the supposition that the letter as print
ed was different from chat actually
read I'm the meeting. Prof OF this
assertion is again lacking, and who is
there that win take the word OF the
Tribune for a bare assertion, even if
it is backed up by an informant who
may, or may not, exist at all? Our
morning contemporary should not
charge forgery. II reminds the pub
lie OF the alleged Bishop West red

Judge Mcpherson at Kansas City has
held Misouri's foreign corporation
law invalid and unconstitutional. That
the higher courts, il an appeal is taken,
will sustain his decision, there is little
doubt That a railroad should have
its license suspended for five years be-
cause it takes an appeal to a United
States court. is preposterous, outrag-
eous and an infamous tyranny. 1t Is
to infict punishment for daring to
have am opinion as 10 a corporations
rights and the temerity to defend
them Such legislation is based on the
assumption. very false one, that
state courts are, alb initio, against the
railroads. and the federal courts for
them. The courts of the land gener-
ally are for the law and the Constitu-
ton, irrespective of litigants. Such
legislation as this of Missouri but de-
reats its own end.

THE FOLLY OF VIOLENCE,

The tobacco growers of Kentucky
have suffered great losses from econom-
ic conditions which they could not con-
troll Naturally they have been fun

perately against what they consider a
great injustice 10 them That they have
in many cases been carried away by a

riding parties have been formed 10 de-
stroy property and inflict Injuries on
individuals. need surprise no one, hui
man nature being what 1t Is. Governor
Wilson of Kentucky In his inaugural
message to the legislature, takes. as Is
proper, a strong stand against any con-
tinuation OF such violence. He points
out FOR the benefit OF the raiders them
selves that their course has not only
not helred them but that II has done
great injury TO the state and 10 their
own industry. mot benefit has re-
suited 10 the oppressed farmers" he
writes, from those acts OF violence and
intimidation" Then he specifies many
ways IN which injury has been occa-
stoned, and he concludes; Every one
can see by the results up TO this time
that our markets not only for tobacco
but FOR other products are paralyzed
and In many cases ruined"

ooh those ten-thousand dollar boys

Of them are earning their salary. They
were hlgh-grade when they came, but
they've been going downgrade ever
since. till now they're almost on a

in the matter of salary, of course.
That's the reason 1 say the young chap
here is the best man in the place.
II seems that the man In question
had come to work for the concern as an
errand boy--the kind that has to make
himself generally useful, and he made
himself more useful than any boy be-
fore or since. After q series of pro-
motions he found himself holding down
an assistant bookleeepers job, and did
the work to perfection. He's at his
desk before the whistle blows in the
morning, and after 1t blows at night,
willing to do and learn all the time,
ambitious to push ahead.

FRENCH VITAL STATISTICS.

The official statistics relating 10 the
population, marriages. births. etc, OF
France for the year 1906 were recently
made the subject OF a report by Consul
General f. II. Mason, of Paris. From
the records il appears that the total
population of the country at the date OF
the census In March 1906, was 39,252,245
Marriages numbered sos, 49, which Is
an Increase OF 1854 over those OF 1905
and the largest total since 1878. But. IL
marriages Increased, divorces did like,
wise. There were 1858 divorces in
1906 as against lO,OI9 IN 1905, 1850 In 1904.
and S,9lS in 1903
The whole number or living births
was S06,Si7, and the number Of deaths,
7SO196. giving an excess of births over
deaths Of only 2665l which is quite be-
low the figure OF 1905 when the excess
of births numbered 37120.
The births OF France in 1906 comprised
Hl.31l male and 1896 536 female children,
proportion OF l,04i boys to 900 girls.
The relation Of the sexes in respect to
death IS about tho same, viz iOG.27i
males IN 37S,922 females In 1906. being a
total increase of l0.O26 over the deaths
In 1905 but decrease Of 3,lS3 from the
