inJure the Nebraskan. Nor has it re-
garded a single grain of truth as
necessary TO its anti-Bryan publica-
tons. The World has never forgiven
Mr.. Bryan for being nominated in 1896
nor has it, since that time, been re-
garded as Democratic paper.
II bolted Bryan in 1896 and in 1900
and it will be against him this year.
We are inclined to believe that the
Democratic nominee-and Mr.. Bryan
will surely be the nominee-can get
along very comfortably without the
support of so reasonable and dishon-
est a newspaper as the New York

help from that paper. unless its reck-

help to the Bryan cause.

There is no hint of hard times in the
business done on the salt Lake stock
and mining exchange last week Not
in the history of the exchange, a his
tory covering a period of fifteen or
twenty years, has such a volume Of
business been done in a week. The
stocks traded in represented a value
OF nearly million dollars. That is 10
say, that much actual money was ex-
changed for stock certificates, largely
in Utah properties. While the major
part OF the transactions were in two
stocks which have figured prominent
~ in the mining news the last few
days. practically the entire list parti-
eipated in the trading

ing. 1t places Salt Lake City far to
the front as a mining center and es-
tablishes this exchange as the best in
the country. Perhaps in Boston and New
York heavier trading is done, but, out
side of those two centers Salt Lake
stands at the head of the list. Ger
tainly Denver cannot compare with it,
Neither can Colorado Springs or Los
Angeles or San Francisco, Goldfeld or
Reno or any other western town that
has a mining stock exchange. There
is nothing new 10 Salt Lakers in the

We who live here have long been ia
miliar with the fact that we are for
tunate dwellers in the greatest min
ing town on the map. absolutely with
out exception. Salt Lake City has
been built up largely through the de-
VelOpment of the mining industry
Many of our wealthiest citizens owe
their riches to the mines that dot the
hills of this and other states. To the
mines we owe some handsome bust
ness blocks and handsome homes. and
TO them we owe much of our material
prosperity. 1t is well TO be reminded
of these facts once in while.
And il is well, too to remember that
the history of Utah mining contains
comparatively few shady transactions.
OF course, we have had them. Men
have deliberately misrepresented con-
ditions at properties for the purpose of
depressing or increasing stock quota

rare. Men who do that sort of thing

It's easy 10 say well be cheerful
Regardless of weather or luck,
And whether our schemes are successful
Or If We fall down and get stuck,
Or win on our ventures a pile,
But answer this question in passing:
Can man pay his taxes and smile?

That's founded on love and good cheer
And say we will use in our business
That kind and that only this year,
And really IL looks well on paper,

We feel ourselves gently uplifted,

And then for a little diversion
We bet on a horse that's outclaSsed,
And where Is our patient good nature

And sounds very we'll TO the ear,

Look out for the craft called Good Cheer.

A BAD EXAMPLE.

AT POttsville, Pa, a few days ago
Felix Radius. a murderer, was
hanged. The sheriff thought it would
be a good idea to make the execution
a public one, for the purpose of i'm
pressing Radius fellow Hungarians
with the theory that justice swiftly
Overtakes doors of evil in this coun-
try. So ne issued invitations to some
thing ike 500 friends of Radius. Prac-
tically all of them came. Radius
went to his death clamly. The execu-
tion seemed TO have no terror for him
His fellow countrymen were i'm
pressed. but they were not terrified. 1t
is much TO be doubted if they drew
any valuable lesson from the scene.
Public executions We're long done
away with in this country. It was de-
cided that it was not wise to permit a
ing or to see, by any other method the
life Of a condemned man snuffed out.
Our own opinion is that the step was
the proper one to take. 1t is not
right TO make holiday out of the
taking of human life. however much
the owner of that life deserves to lose
1t. Besides. the lesson is Of much
more than doubtful value. Nine out

They have been buoyed up by the
consolation of religion or their ma
tural bravado carries them to an un-
hinching finish. Seen by crowd
gathered indiscriminately the public
execution is much more apt to make
the condemned a hero in the minds of
many Of the onlookers than 10 impress
them with the necessity for obeying
the law. The executions of criminals
should never be carried out in public.
There is a strong and, perhaps, a
growing sentiment against the infiic-
ton of the death penalty. Some states

turned it 70 their statute books. Colo
RADIO affording an instance of this
character. The Herald believes that
death should be visited upon men
found guilty of some crimes This for
the protection of society from those
individuals, rather than for the exam
pie to others who contemplate similar
crimes. Legal executions for murder
do not prevent other murders any
more than lynching for rape prevents
crimes of that character.
But where there is no death penalty
there is always the possibility of the
imprisoned convict making his escape
and committing other crimes. As long
as the deliberate murderer lives.

tons to the Republican national con-
vention, now going on in Chicago be-

committee is packed with Taft sup
porters, making certain the seating of
Taft delegates in every instance, the
other candidates have formed a COM
bination TO resist. II is announced
they have decided, with the exception
of Speaker Cannon. who never was
really a candidate, to refuse to lay
their cases before the national COM
mittee. They will, instead, go straight
to the conventions committee on ere
dentials. We do not see how this is
going TO help them a great deal. In
the absence of contest evidence the
delegates with prima facie credentials
will. Of course. be seated. And the
committee on credentials will be made
up in part of those men. One delegate
from each state will go on the COM
mittee. The Taft people will see TO it
that a majority of them are support
ers of the secretary. And the last

They really haven't a loOk-in at any

Some talk of boiling the convention
has been INDUCED in, but we do not
take much stock in that. Republicans
are great people 10 say unpleasant
things to and about one another in
primaries and conventions. but they
rarely have the courage to continue
their differences after the nominations
have been made. They say they will
not support this candidate or that
candidate, but when the election
comes they march up to the voting
booths like little men and swallow the
dose prepared for them by their lead
ers. There is no more real prospect Of
a considerable bolt from the Chicago
convention. that is, a bolt that viii

committee In 1904 He has written Mr..
Bryan a letter in which he says that

OF voluntary contributions from many
persons"
Mr.. Sheehan has never been regard
ed as one Of Mr.. Bryan's close friends.
His statement of the case may be
taken as a disclosure of the absolute
facts. He continues;
"Why there should be any criticism
OF this particular expenditure I am at

was a perfectly legitimate one on both
