Truth to tell, those boats of other
days were about the f1imsiest vehicles
of travel or else the worst navigated of
any in history. But no one seemed to
mind the danger. Often disasters on
the river were not fatal.
If the boat went to the bottom, the
bottom was frequently near the top,
and 1t might take month for her to
press downward through the river mud
until her total obstruction followed.
Usually her smokestacks stood for
many season. black monuments to
her fate. The passengers were res
cued at leisure in the small boats and
taken on to the next city by the first
packet that came along.

very strange and serious accident
occurred early this morning three
miles below Alexandria when pas
senger on the K line train going north
stepped from the platform of one of
the coaches and was thrown violently,
injuries resulting which have caused
her to lay in semi-conscious state at
st. Joseph hospital for the past twelve
hours. The accident was one of the
strangest that has come to pass for
some time and the entire accident is
shrouded in deep mystery which still
remained untangled. In a semi-con-
scious condition at ST. Josephs hos
pltal early this morning the woman
gave her name to Dr. Gray, the at
tending physician as being Mrs Maria
Pleasant and stated that she was on
her way to Iowa City from her home

The accident took place this morn
ms at 2:37 o'clock. AS the train
neared Alexandria Mrs. Maria Pleas
ant left her seat in the coach and pass

car. Reports are to the effect that
she simply stepped off the platform
but the real manner in which the
woman left the train is very vague to
the train men. When trainmen
learned of the accident the train was
brought to stop and the seriously in
jured woman lifted tenderly aboard
and brought to this city. A telephone
message was sent to E. E. Hawkes.

THE SULLIVAN CASE.

/ Tx SULLIVAN CHOEs
After celebrating for more than for
ty-eight hours the jury in the case of
Joe sullivan, the desperate accused Of
the murder of Patrolman Ford. yester-
day brought i'm a verdict finding the
defendant guilty of murder and coup
ling with it a recommendation that
he be sentenced to life Imprisonment.
The verdict shows on it's face that il
was compromise, and compromises.
in matters of this sort, should never be
tolerated. Sullivan was either guilty of
cruel murder or he was innocent. He
should have been found guilty of muir
der without recommendation of any
sort, or he should have been acquit-
ted.
A very strong case was made out
against Sullivan. 1t is true that most
of the witnesses against him were peo-
pie Of bad reputation. Some of them
have criminal records. But there were
reputable witnesses who gave import
ant testimony. and these showed be-
yond the peradventure of doubt that
the defendant perjured himself on the
witness stand in an effort to show that
he was not in Salt Lake City at the
time the crime was committed. In
fact. the mans every action showed
strong presumptions of guilt.
According to his own story he sud-
denly decided to leave Salt Lake City
on the night Ford was murdered. He
chose the hardest way TO get out of
town And when he was once away
he travelled almost entirely under the
cover of darkness. Would a man who
was innocent have done this? Suili-
van had been given time in which to
leave the city. He could have gone
away openly and no hand would have
been raised to stop him had he been,
in fact, innocent of the crime with
which he was accused.
The Herald's opinion is that the ver-
dict of the jury is " miscarriage of
justice, unless the court. in its discre-
ton, sees fit to disregard the recon-
IlenQd IlOl. anu YET. although liit COul
has this power, t is asking good deal
To ask judge to order the execution
Of man that a jury was too coward
ly or too sentimental to order removed
from earth. Judges do not often dis
regard a recommendation of this char
acter. and, in the event that Sullivan
is given a life sentence, the state has
no right of appeal.
sullivan will hardly appeal from a
life sentence, for it is the best he can
possibly hope to receive. His cOnfine-
ment in prison will be a source of con-
slant anxiety TO the prison officials.
The man. who has already served one
term there. is regarded as the most
dangerous criminal, with the possible
exception of Abe Majors, that has ever
been locked into a cell He will have
to be watched all the time with the
greatest care.

IDAHO POLITICS.

Columns of advice to Idaho Demo-
Gratis are being offered by the Repub-
lican and American" newspapers of
Salt Lake as to the course TO be pur-
sued in the approaching presidential
campaign. The Americans" most nat
urally. are urging the Idaho Democrats
TO follow Senator Dubois and organize
what would be a wing of the "Ameri-
can" party in fact if not in name. The
Republicans. constrained by fear that
some wise policy will be adopted. are
trying to help along in whatever way
will contribute most to the embarrass-
ment of their political opponents.
AT this stage of the proceedings any
advice from outsiders is. if not super
fluous, the least bit presumptuous. Ida
no Democrats ought to be able to de-
termine for themselves just what they
want to do and how to do it. They GER
tainly are not going TO follow Mr.. Du-
bOis into the American" party unless
suicide; they certainly should not iden-
tify themselves with any movement
that would bring to their state the dis
cord. the unlimited injury that has
come to Utah from the abandonment
of party lines.
If there is one cardinal creed in De-
moeracy il is belief in majority rule
When the state convention meets and
determines the party policy il ought TO
be guided. and viii be, by regard for
the success of the presidential ticket
as of paramount Importance, and by
desire 10 give the state of Idaho the
most efficient and capable state ad-
ministration possible.
\ good deal has been said about the
constitutional test oath as II it were
the sole issue before the people. In a
case now before the courts the ques-
ton will be settled as to whether the
oath is operative without supplement
tary legislation. If the court holds that
the oath operates automatically. a con-
suuction Of its application will still
remain to be made: the courts. and the
courts alone, viii have to decide wheth-
er a Mormon would be debarred from
taking the oath and exercising the
franchise simply because of his church
membership.
In the meantime, and until the courts
have passed on the legal issues raised
BY Idaho Americans" it would be
folly for the Democrats of Idaho to be-
come involved in any alliance with or
sympathy for movement which, while
aimed chiefly at the Mormon church.
is designed also to disrupt the Demo-
cratic party and place it in the hope
Iessly demoralized condition of the
Utah Republicans With a presidential
campaign on hand and national issues
% the gravest importance involved, the
Democrats of Idaho can well afford to
ignore any diversion designed to weak

selves TO the upbuilding of their party
and the election of Democratic pres
ident.
The cry that a great moral issue is
involved in the test oath agitation lacks
the basis of fact which might possibly
attract support for ii if the men who
