MICE JOB FOR SHEETS.

When the McWhirter case was un-
der discussion The Herald said that
George Sheets own story of that af-
fair showed either that he had been
compromised by his action or that he
was entirely too innocent and guileless
TO be trusted with the protection of the
lives and property of Salt Lakes citi-
zens The verdict of acquittal left
only one alternative, and that was the
conclusion that Sheets had been de
ceived by the wicked bunCO men who
robbed the ScOtchmen; that his part
in the confidence game was due to his
confiding nature; that when he re-
turned part Of the money for the rob
bers, permitted the crime to go unpun-
ished. suppressed the news of IL and
did nothing to help the Scotchmen in
their dilemma, he was the victim Of
misplaced confidence.
Evidently the American adminis-
tration is of the same opinion or else
it would not have provided a soft place
in the police department for the for
mer chief. He is now special detect
i've" whatever that may mean. and Is
subject, not TO the chief of police, but
TO the council which appointed him
and nailed down the job with a special
proviso which says he shall be removed
only by the council.
In his time Sheets has been a very
effective officer. and if he wants to he
can help rid the city of the horde of
burglars, hold-ups, pickpockets and
common thieves who have been hold
ing a carnival under the present chief
of police But a special lookout should
be kept for bunco men lest they finn
nam Sheets once more. Possibly enc
experience will be enough for him, bGt
you never can tell about these things
the innocent and guileless are apt to
be deceived almost any time. and the
man who would stand for the game
worked by Bell, Parent. Donaldson ct
al. is apt to need a guardian on occa-
sion.
Incidentally, it would be worth while
10 know what Mayor Bransfori thinks
of ths appointment made N his alb
sence, and made so he cannot possibly
remove Sheets IL he wants to. What
the PEOPLE of Salt Lake think is, Of
course, immaterial to the council.

POOR LAND OF CHEROKEE STRIP

(St Louis Republic.)
Frank Rich, the keeper of the buffalo

about some poor fodder he had refused.

Professor William Frear { the Penn

Harrisburg the eighty-three kinds OF
breakfast foods that he recently tested
for the government.
Most of them were very good" said
Professor Frear. The taste test in
most cases was pleasure rather than
work. To make work out of it would
be TO act like a little boy 1 know in

NOAH AND SOLOMON.
(Philadelphia Ledger }

,
A Sunday school teacher in Bryn Mawr
was questioning her class about some
prominent men of the Old Testament
Now, Henry, can you tell ,me who was
the wisest man in the BibIe?' she asked.
Noah Henry answered promptly
"Oh, no, Henry" the teacher said; "you
don't mean Noah; you mean Solomon,
don't you?''

What makes you think that Noah was
the wisest man.
Well" said Henry. my papa says

500 porcupines. is blamed old fool, while
Noah knew enough to get in out of the

THE STEWART CASE.

"The whole case is without a parallel in our military history" remarks The Chattanooga Times, referring to the case of Col. William F. Stewart of the United States Army. And The Times might have added that it Is case which would not have been possible under any other administration than the present one. The resolution of Senator Rayner. of Maryland. to have a court of inquiry to investigate the affair may not be adopted. and 1t Is pretty sure to be opposed by the Presi- dent The country is interested. and legitimateIy so." The Times adds, fin the treatment accorded its soldiers. And when a man. after all the long rank of colonel is "jumped' by half dozen of his juniors, fails to secure promotion. is adjudged unworthy of the men who have superseded him, and finally Is given twenty four hours in which to resign or so into exile the people want to know-and are entitled to know-wAat it all means. As mat ters now stand, there appears to be something akin to positive venom in the treatment accorded to the colonel. If there are charges against him which warrant trial by court martial. he should be tried. If his methods and policies as a commanding officer, are not in accord with the views of the commander in chief. of the army. the latter might with proper dignity and effect, and a accord with precedent order him to his home. there to await retirement"
 The whole matter is but one more instance of the Presidents unexampled | assumacy and usurpation of power. When he boastfully and insolently in formed Congress in effect that he. as comma n der -in-c chief of the army and navy. has the right to do as he pleases, regardless of all other departments of government. he merely showed the arrogant spirit that controls him and which has been growing ever since the American people made the grievous mistake of electing him to the Presi- dency.
 The only "crime," so far as known. committed by Stewart was that he re- fused to resign his position in the army at the dlctation Of Roosevelt and the War Department. Tn the words of | Othello-we believe 1t was-he might say: "The very head and front of my ! offending hath this extent no more" but that was a crime in the eyes of the high and mighty potentate of the White House. If the administration has done no wrong it can have no just reason for objecting to a fair and

It was the opinion of Bishop Potter that "a uniform marriage law is more important than a uniform divorce law" and it may be that he was correct, though both are sadly needed. If marriage could be made more sacred and binding, and if the marriage laws of all the States were in harmony or uniformity. the divorce courts of the country would receive far less busi- ness than they now do. However we suppose 1t is useless to hope that all the States of the Union will ever agree on uniform laws for either mar riage or divorce. People will go on marrying and getting themselves un- married in the loose way they now do
 and 1t is a way that is not conduc- i've to either the moral or physical

BABY GIRL CRIED

CURED IN THREE MONTHS BY CUTICURA REMEDIES

"I take great pleasure in telling you what 6 great help it was for me to use Cuticura Soap and Cuticurs Ointment for my baby niece. She was suffering from that terrible torture, eczema. It was all over her body but the worst was ou her face and hands. Her hands were SO bad that she could not hold anything. She cried and scratched all the time and could not sleep night or day from the scratching. l had her under the doc tors care for Q year and half and he seemed to do her no good. I took her to the best doctor in the city and he said that she would have the sores until she was six years old. But if had de- pended on the doctor my baby would have lost her mind and died from the want of aid.
 "I used all the remedies that every body told me about and tortured the child almost to death. Then l saw in the paper how Cuticura was the thing for irritating skin. I bathed her. with warm water and Cuticura Soap and used the Cutioura Ointment. She was cured in three months. Now her skin is as clear and smooth as 1t could be. shall recommend the use of Cuticura wherever I sec the akin in bad condition. Alice |.

SATURDAY. MAY 1s, 1908.

No --doubt thAre are many residents of the temperate climate and long sum- mers in Alabama who wonder how Il Is possible for a farmer to make a living up in the bleak hills of Maine Perhaps this little item copied from one of the papers of that region nay help to explain it:'
 On a s2o-acre farm (150 acres clear sd) near Presque Isle, Aroostook County, Ms, Shephard Carey raised which he sold for s4.350. Except in the potato digging season. he had only two hired men on the farm He thinks this is a pretty good country for far mers.
 whether or not we admit that Maine is "a pretty good country for far mers" we think all will admit that this one made a success of 1t. We do not know that all of vhe 15O acres of cleared land was actually under cultivation. but even if that was the case the value of his crop was very nearly thirty dollars per acre for the entire lot and when we take into con sideration the small help he employed we think he made a fine showing though his home is in what some of us are accustomed to look on as almost in the Arctic regions. How many Ala bana farmers can beat his record?

Levi P. Morton. the eldest of the three living Vice Presidents of the United States, was born in Shoreman, Vt, May Is, 1924. At the age of sixteen he be- came a clerk fin country store, where he worked until he had sufifcient cap itAl to start q modest establishment of his own! At the age of twenty-five he became, partner in dry goods house in Boston and five years later he enter ed d similar establishments In New York He failed few years before the outbreak Of the civil war but in "a few years1l he had accumulated another for tune in the banking business. Ills first essay in politics was in 1878, when he was elected to Congress. President Garfield made him minister to France in 1881. Tn 1888 he was elected Vice President on the ticket with President Harrison. From 1894 to lse6 he was governor of New York. Since his re- tirement from the governorship Mfr. Morton has spent much of hts time abroad, though retaining an active in- terest in many large financial and in- dustrial corporations in New York.

The laying of the cornerstone of the building for the Bureau of Ameri-
 can Republics was the occasion or .
 very decided difference of opinion be-
 tween the President and Andrew Car nesis. It was natural that Roosevelt In his speech should set onto his favorite theme of big navy, ana dwell on the necessity of the United States to have q stronger navy than other nations. Mir. Carnegie. who foi. lowed him. took the. position that the world is coming to the belief and de- sire for universal peace, and that big navies will be a useless expenditure Of money. And" he said. '.wheh the President is as old as I am and has had as much experiences as have had he will see it as I .do.t' or words to that effect Mir. Carnegie. is.,an aaute and observant scotchman, but if he thinks Roosevelt can be induced to discard his favorite opinion that we should have more and bigger warships than any other power. then Andy is at sea. in our opinion.
