county didn't have much of a chance
for the sport of going nutting" this
fall. The nut harvest was practically
a failure. The late spring frosts are re-
sponsible for the barren nut trees. To
be sure the early fall frosts helped a
little bit by supplying an abundant crop
OF persimmons. Every Saturday for the
last few weeks the woods south Of the
Evanston Golf club, where the trees
abound, have attracted many boys. The
trees are also plentiful near Sixty-fifth
street and Cleveland avenue and in the
vicinity of Dodson. But persimmons,
sweet and juicy and puckery as they
are, can't take the place of nuts
To make things worse, even paw
paws, half fruit, half vegetable, and a
comfort to the Juvenile palate, were as
scarce as nuts this fall. Even the red
haws and blackhaws were so few that
it was hardly worth while to hunt for
the bushlike trees.
The winter supply of nuts will come
from the south this year. OF course,
the ones you buy in the stores taste
pretty good. But it isn't quite the
same as if you had gathered them your
self and stored them away in the attic
or the woOdshed. It's a good deal like
buying popcorn from a street cart aft
er you've once tasted some that was
popped over CRATE fire.

THE LOAN SHARK.
Saturday Evening Post


1T was the loan sharks that did it
and booze" said a clerk the other day,
having been arrested for passing
forged checks. But his statement was
not entirely fair to the situation, as is
easily shown by a little simple figur-
ing.
You think you need $50. You go TO
the loan shark His rate is 10 per cent
note for SIS. due i'm ninety days. The
discount being $3.50, you get $3.50
cash. At the end of ninety days you
renew, giving a note for $110. The dis
count is $33; you receive 81 cash and
your first note for $75. Another ninety
days, your note is Sl65, which, discount
ed $3.50. yields your second note and
$3.50 in money. At the end of the
year your note is S240 and you get So in
money. At the end of a year and a
half your note is S495 and your situa-
ton, by that time, pretty hopeless.
That is cruel; yet it possesses a vir-
tue singular TO itself and not shared
by any other vice-that is, you can sit
right down with a pencil and paper
and figure out exactly where you are
going to land if you keep up the thing
to its logical end.
With drink and the pOOlroom and
like indulgences you cannot do that
With them. as with the loan shark, that
compound 10 per cent discount is right
there, working against you every min
ute: but you cannot see it, and they lie
about it-pretending that, at most. it
is only about straight 5 per cent a year,
which need not alarm anybody.

ANOTHER TITLE PURCHASED.

By the marriage of Gladys Wander
bilt and Count LaszIo Jeno Maria
Henrik Simon Szechenyi, which was
celebrated in New York yesterday, an
other American fortune goes across
the Atlantic. This is the second great
Vanderbilt fortune to be so disposed of.
the other having been taken when
Consuelo Vanderbilt became the wife
of the Duke of Marlborough.
We sometimes wonder what the old
commodore, who worked so hard 10
lay the foundation of the Vanderbilt
millions, would think if he could know
what has become of them. We wonder
if he would not change his old state
ment, 1.-THE public be ID" to some
thing like THE foreign title be id"
But what is the use of quarreling about
the girls and their dowries?
Miss Vanderbilt was the sole posses
scr of her fortune. into the possession
of which she entered last summer; her
fifteen million dollars are hers to do
with as she pleases. 1t seems too bad
that she could not have found some
clever young American to love her and
keep her money in the country, but
in the matter of marriage every girl
is certainly entitled to her own choice.
The public cannot choose for her. If
all reports be true, the count is a
very lucky man; lucky not only in the
sense of acquiring so many millions
with his bride. but in securing a very
charming American girl with the
money
The young couple will sail for Europe
with their million dollars worth of
wedding presents early next month. and
take up their abode at the counts
ancestral castle. 1t is to be hoped they
will be happy. but if we may judge
by the records of other international
matrimonial alliances. they have about
once chance in twenty to achieve that
happy condition.
The experience of the new countess
cousin, the duchess, is hardly calcu-
lated to give her much assurance of
continued happiness. For several years
there have been rumors of disagree
ments between the duke and the OUCH
ess, and they are now reported to be
as completely separated as though they
were not husband and wife. But there
is little profit in recalling instances Of
unhappy marriages between American
girls and titled foreigners.
1t is like telling a girl that it is
hopeless task to think of reforming a
man after marrying him; she is never
convinced that she cannot reform him
until She has made the effort

ST. YITUS' DANCE

That DR.. Williams Pink Pills have

cHouLp RE suPPREssEp.

1t is almost impossible to believe that
anarchy is making any progress in
this country. Still, a meeting such as
in Chicago is calculated to make us
stop and think. The meeting was at
tended by a large number of people
who profess to be anarchists and who
profess TO believe that their creed is
gaining many new supporters.
Still we do not understand how talks
of the kind that were made at that
meeting can gain any sympathy from
right-minded Americans. The speak
ers attack all classes of society. One
anarchist suggested that it was the
right of the crowd to seize anything
they wanted, regardless of it's owner
ship, and to convert it to their own
use.
Now, the man who goes out with a
mask and pistol, under cover of the
darkness. to rob pedestrians and others,
has much the same theory but the
police have a very unpleasant habit
of arresting them when they can
catch them. and sending them to prison
for a long term of years. We imagine
that the same thing should happen to
those taking the advice at the Chi
cago meetings.
The usual form of anarchy is TO in
weigh against the rich, but this speaker
seemed to be just as indignant against
the poor as against the Weather
classes. This is the only inference, be-
cause many poor people have things
that other poor people want, and some
times they feel tempted to rob one an
that it is the duty of police depart
ments to prevent meetings of anar-
chists whenever it is possible.
If our understanding of the anarchis-
tic creed is correct, it teaches defiance
of all law and all order. 1t breaches
the doctrine that He may take who
has the power, and he may keep who
can" Anarchists strike at the founda-
ton of all society, and anarchistic gov
eminent, or lack of government, would

bloOdshed, and disorder of every kind.
The man who breaches anarchy is as
bad as the man who practices anarchy.
If there had never been a teacher of
anarchy in the United States. there
would never have been Czolgosz TO
assassinate President Mckinley; the
Haymarket riots in Chicago would
never have occurred.
We are reminded of the old Aesop's
fable of the trumpeter who was cap
tured by an opposing army on the
battlefield. He made a plea for re-
lease. on the ground that he was un-
armed and could, therefore. do his en-
emies no harm. But" said the leader
of his captors, with your trumpet you
call our enemies to battle, and are
able to do more harm than if you were
thoroughly armed" and the trumpeter
was Immediately executed.
The application of this doctrine to
the anarchists, at least to the extent
Of suppTessing their meetings and pre-
venting them from promulgating their
meretriciOus doctrines. could not fail to
have a beneficial result.

THE REMOVAL OF suReipeE.

The announcement that Mayor BranS-
ford has yielded to the enormous pres
sure brought to bear upon him to re-
move Captain Burbidge from the police
force, viii cause great regret among
a majority of the people of Salt Lake
City. For Mayor Bransford's request
that Captain Burbidge hand in his res
ignation, practically amounts to his re-
moval; no charges have been pre-
ferred against Captain Burbidge, ex-
cept that he is not a member of the
American" party.
To this heinous Offense Captain Bur-
bidge is probably willing to plead
guilty. During the eighteen years of
his service on the force no faint Of
scandal has ever attached to this Of
ficer. At times when the department
has been in state of chaos, because
of the dereIictions of other officers,
Captain Burbidge has been in no way
involved. He has made it a rule ever
since he has been on the force to at
tend strictly TO the duties for which
he drew his pay.
Although a Democrat, Captain Bur
bidge never took any active part in
the affairs of that party. He never at
tended conventions, he never worked
at polling places or in primaries. At
all times and under all circumstances
he was at his post of duty, and a re-
view of the history of the police de-
partment shows that there has never
been a more faithful or a more atten-
tive officer.
1t was hoped by most of Mayor
Bransford's admirers that he would be
firm in his implied intention to re-
tain Captain Burbidge on the force.
His present attitude is a distinct dis
appointment, and the Herald is ex-
tremely sorry that he has taken it.
The removal of Captain Burbidge can
only be classed as a move toward the
reorganization of the police force on
a purely partisan basis.
1t is distinctly an announcement that
only men who are active political work
ers can hope to secure or retain posi-
LAulAS III NilC uGDdA lliltlll- lie result
cannot fail to be a decrease in the eff
ficiency of the organization. When a
police officer is responsible only to a
politician; when ne holds his office by
virtue of politics.: when he is given
to understand that as long as he is a
good party man, regardless of his value
to the community, he can retain his
position, Reorganization becomes in
evitable. Politics is always a bad
thing in a police or a fire department;
that it has become the governing fac
tor in local appointments is most re
grettable.
Many citizens not generally in SYM
pathy with the american" party voted
for Mr.. Bransford last fall under the
impression that he would not submit
to dictation from any faction. clique or
newspaper. The fact that he has
done so may give his party a temper
airy advantage. but it cannot fail to
be disastrous in the end, not only to
his party but to the city,
