MIND AS AN ADULTERANT.

After long discussion and deiiberation,
the department of agriculture has de-
cided that what is known to millers as
"bleached" flour is adulterated, and that
after the present stock is disposed of it
cannot be sold for interstate delivery.
One of the Salt Lake newspapers in
nocently describes this class of product
as bleached by electricity and nitric
acid Chemists will smile at the no
ton that the application of nitric acid
to a plant product could whiten it or do
anything but destroy it outright. The
bleaching process is accomplished by
passing a current of air between cleo
trodes, producing nitrogen peroxide,
which whitens the -four, but, so far as
any demonstration or analysis shows,
makes no chemical change in the flour
or bread made from it. The millers of
the country produced the best expert
authority in the country to support their
contention that the process was not in
furious in any way, but the depart
ment, having the power to do as il
pleases in such matters, refused to &C
cept their opinions.
About the only result of the new rul-
ing prohibiting the shipment of the
bleached flour will be the abandonment
of the electric equipment; it cannot az
feet the value or the real quality of the
milling output, either for better OF
worse, nor will it make any change in
grades and prices. 1t eliminates arti-
fetal wind currents as part of the man
ufacturing equipment. and that is about
all it does.

Against this sort of influence were the

Deen secured Tor the city, ana tne eA-
ample of Ruefs conviction is likely to
inspire the fear of the law in the hearts
of those who have known no law ex-
cept to break it.
Possibly the convicted man may yet
escape his due punishment on techni-
calities, as he has before, but neither
he nor any of his kind can hope to re-
peat the orgy of graft that fiourished
under his regime. To that extent the
prosecution has done service to mu-

If San Francisco could convict Ruef, in

crooked government in any city can be
detected and brought to book whenever
men determine to pursue it.

WALL STREET APpREHENsIvE.

There is new fear in Wall street.
Since Governor Hughes forced the leg
islature of New York to pass a law Pre-
hibiting bucket shops last winter, it has
generally been regarded as certain that
he would go after the stock exchange
at the first opportunity 1t is an open
and notorious fact that the state is
cheated out of a vast sum annually by
the brokers who evade the payment of
the tax OF , cents a share On every
transaction. Other violations OF the law
are constantly occurring which are be-
ing winked at by those who are sup
posed TO keep bulls and bears within
bounds
Whether Governor Hughes intends to
make raid upon the stock exchange
will not be known until his annual mes
sage is read in the legislature In the
meantime the brokers are on she anx-
ious seat. even though they show no
signs Of repentance.

THE M ETALS.
THE eET-ToeETHER GATHERING

II the congress of commercial clubs
and other organizations in this city
served no other purpose, it would
achieve great good in the exchange of
ideas, the discussion of public problems
and the discovery that all good citizens,
regardless of political and religious diff
ferences, are bent on attaining common
er4z. for the benefit OF the state.
Charles Lamb once refused to be in
troduced to a man because he said he
didn't like the man, and was afraid he
might like him If he knew him. Nearly
all of us have learned that to know
any man long is to discover that he has
iikeable qualities. Very rarely does ac-
quaintance intensity dislike. So it is
that in a convention of this sort the
delegates find out that the small jeal-
Ousies between communities, the sup
posed irreeoncilable differences between
men on public questions can be
smoothed out by talking things over
amicably. The result is a solidarity of
sentiment. a willingness to submerge
differences for the common good, the
upbuilding of a state and the promo
tion of its welfare.
Utah has had to face problems pc
culiar 10 itself and most difficult to
solve. because they were based on re-
lisious prejudices, on prejudices that
began with the early history of the
state and have been perpetuated by po-
liticaI agencies and the natural antag-
onisms OF differing convictions. But
there is no reason why these antago-
nisms should extend to purely CONNER
cial or industrial enterprises What
helps the state in a material way helps
every man in it; and as a matter of
progress, of influence on legislation and
commercial enterprise, Utah should
have compact, effective central organ
ization of clubs that can work together
for mutually beneficial ends.
The debates and general spirit of this
weeks convention show that no real
obstacle exists that can initiate against
such a federation. From Cache valley
TO Dixie the men present find they have
the same pride in their state, the same
desire to upbuild it. the same benefits TO
derive from united action With that
much established as a preliminary, the
way is clear to a combination of forces
that can do great deal toward pre-
senting the advantages of the state to
outside investors and homeseekers, in
vite immigration, promote internal de-
Felopment and insure ultimately the at
tainment of all the desirable objects for
which such an organization can be
utilized.

EARNED HIS HoNoRs.

An occurrence of the Spanish-Amer-
ton with the appointment of Truman

After the smashing of Cervera's fleet
and the American warships were Rome
ward bound, an officer of the Yosemite
noticed a steam yacht which had been
converted into a gunboat, and re-

A sailor who was busily engaged in
scrubbing the deck nearby paused in
his work, looked up. saluted and said:

A DEAL IN DIAMONDS.
(Harper's Weekly J

The recent Sievier case in London re-
vived some incidents in the career of
that dead celebrity, Barney Barnato,
amateur actor and diamond expert,
against whom, smart although of course
he was, the following yarn is told:
While the late Cecil Rhodes was at
the head of the De Beers company, at
a time when they had for sale 220 900
carats of diamonds, he was approached
by Barney Barnato with an offer for
the lot in one parcel. To this proposal
Mr.. Rhodes replied, Yes, you shall
have them for that on one condition -
What condition." asked the other
THAT you let me see a sight no hu-
man eye ever saw yet"
What's that?" inquired the would
be purchaser.
why" said Mr.. Rhodes, "a bucket
full of diamonds in one heap"
''Done"' cried Barney, overjoyed to
close the deal on his whole terms.
So they emptied the De Beers dia-
monds into a bucket. Then came the
turn of Mr.. Rhodes, who practically
had to himself the diamond market
during six weeks, the time required for
restoring the stones into their 100 clas-

RUEF's CONVICTION.

After delays that ought TO have been
impossible, after convictions that were
nullifed by the supreme court of Cali
fornia, and after a series of tragedies
which terminated with the attempted
assassination of Mr.. Heney and the
supposed suicide of the chief of police of
San Francisco. Abe Ruef has been con-
victed.
Very few cases have had so many
sensational developments; none ever
was watched with more widespread in
terest by the nation at large Ruef was
the embodiment of systematic graft in
municipal government Holding no Of
fee himself. he was the broker for
Schmitz, the mayor. and his allies, who
organized a syndicate for the sale of
special privileges, including the privi-
lege of violating the law. Among other
things negotiated by Ruef. was a fran
ohise for the use OF the trolley system
on san Francisco's street railways. and
in this case he bribed the supervisors
who granted the franchise. One of the
supervisors confessed and testified in
detail as to the way the transaction
was handled from beginning to end. on
this evidence Ruef is found guilty after
one Of the bitterest legal fights the
country has ever seen.
ArTayed on the side of the briber were
mustered all the most powerful forces
that could be commanded bv interests
that thrive on the plumber of iuuEici-
palities. Ruef had the best counsel to
