to make a settlement with Joe
Carpinski, for the loss of an eye,
which occurred in the company's mill
at Crookstoh.
The case of Mr. Carpinski is very
sad one. While working in the mill
at the above place on June 4th of last
year, he was struck in the left eye
with a flying splinter, which des-
troyed the sight, and. which eye was
later removed. On July ~, less than
two months later, he was struck in the
other eye, which accident has caused
him to be nearly blind. He can dis
tinguish objects some, but is in a bad
way, and there is no hope Of the sight
improving. Some of the best eye
specialists in the state have been con-
suited. He is young man and lives
with his parents IN the southeastern

BIJOU CHANGES HANDS.

A deal has been completed whereby
Fred Lowe, who conducts moving
picture and vaudeville show in Brain
erd, takes over the interests in the
Bijou theatre held by James Gay. At
a late hour Monday evening, in an
attempt to live up to his name, Mr..
Gay came 1eafleaving the Bijuu
theatre without manager, much to
the agreeable7 surprise of all con-
cerned: BY the present deal, however,
the Bijou theatre is at last in com
petent hands, and the theatre goers
can rest assured Of good performances
and moving pictures, and the others
concerned are not apt to be suddenly
reminded Of business matters relative
to the theatre, in the midst of social
time at their homes.
Mr.. Love- the new manager, will
conduct this theatre in conjunction
with his Brainerd vaudeville house.
The first show under the new manage
ment took place last night.

TRUTH

PEELED to labor for the support of his
family.
The mere act of Furnishing the in
dividual for failing to support those
dependent upon him, does not end
in any manner the duty of the gov
eminent. Its duty cannot be ended
until the family absolutely has that
support. What else then can fol-
low? The state should not only
supply the means by which the head
of the family can make livelihood
for them, but at the same time COM
pei the performance of that duty.
How else can this be accomplished
than by governmental supervision of
the delinquent?
The system cannot in any man
ner be called paternalism in govern
ment, for the very reason that the
government in all civilized communi
ties considers it crime to wilfully
neglect the support of the family
upon the part of its head, and have
attached a penalty thereto. The only
change here advocated is that the
state give to the delinquent's fam
ily the fruits Of his labor while his
person is under supervision by the
government.

CRIMINOLOGY AND SOCIOLOGY
A Salt Lake Writer'S Views Thereon.

Criminology and sociology are so
closely connected that the two often
overlap each other. In dealing with
society or government the family is
always the unit. What affects it must
affect the entire system. What tends
to it's disorganization must be vicious,
and tend to disrupt and destroy the
whole. The family then should be the
first care of the state. In a very
strong sense the state is responsible
for the family. In most countries the
state must be consulted before the
family can be formed. When it is
formed, called into being by an act
of the state, the responsibility Tor
its well-being must essentially res,
upon the state. 1t then follows that
the offspring, who owe their being to
the act of the state, are charge upon
it. To allow any innocent member OF
the state-created family to be uncared
for is a criminal act upon the part OF
the state.
The responsibility for the family
however, is two-fold from the very
fact that the head of the family was

THE STRINGENCY.

1t is certain that the most i'm

the idea to make the interest so hea-

to be over 6 rer cent, for that is ii

THE DEPARTED.

The following from the Republi-
can, presents the sentiments of this
writer so exactly that it is given
editorial adoption:
at is greatly to be regretted that
death has claimed John w. Hughes.
the proprietor and editor of Truth
"Mr. Hughes had lived many years
in Salt Lake, and nearly every day OF
that time was given to newspapers
work. He knew the city, and he
knew the men in it, as perhaps NOT
half a dozen other men did know.
He was positive in his likes and his
dislikes, and yet he was singularly
fair. Even of men whom he very
much disliked, he would speak with
care and judicial balance. Some men
he hated-with what he regarded as
abundant reason. But there never
was a time when he permitted hi.
antIpathy to cloud his judgment con-
corning them.
John Hughes possessed two quail
ties which are riches enough for any
man. He was entirely fearless. and
he was absolutely honest. Any man
trying to brighten him would waste
time. He couldn't be scared If he
had been at all timid, he would have
been driven to silence in many cases
where he has spoken with entire anil
effective plainness.
"And if ne had been purchasable,
he wo-ld not have died poor-whicn
he did. Because he has on occasion
said uncomplimentary things of veal
thy citizens he has been charged
very tentatively-with being a black
mailer Bur no one knows quite so
well as the men attacked that money
would not buy silence from John
Hughes. He was honest and he was
brave.
The man has been force for
good in Utah. He has urged fair
ness and peace-and these qualities
have most been needed He has ad-
vocated measures of public benefit
Sometimes he has been mistaken.
BUT he has never been blind to the
correction which better information
could give nor deaf to reason.
"The death of John Hughes is a
public loss"
Grateful acknowledgement is made
of similar expressions from the press
of the state generally, nearly all hav
ing contributed something in frater-
nal remembrance of the departed.

that of the state. AS the state must
always be higher than the individual
member, then it is the duty of the
state to see that he performs the duty
he undertook when he became a par
ty to the formation or the family.
Ii is upon this hypothesis that the
law is founded which compels the
head of the family to support those
who are by the ties of nature depend
ent upon him. While this is the fact,
the state attempts to shirk its part
of the compact in many instances,
and though furnishing the individual
for not performing his part, does not
see to it that the family is given its
proper care, though that duty must
in the nature of things devolve upon
it,
So greatly has the protection of
property become the sole object of
the state that its deeper duties are
thrown in the background, and the
head OF the family who is remiss in
his duty, is punished almost wholly
because the burden of the family's
Support is thrown upon the state. In
word, the money and not the prin-
ciple involved, is the only object in
view when the statue was enacted.
The child born in any civilized COM
mum y, has the right of support 1t
is not matter of charity in any
sense of the word. AS has been
shown above, it is an inherent right
Granted the right, and the manner or
its support is only question of en-
pediency. As only the two factors
can enter rightly in its support (the
head of the family and the state) it
follows that if one defaults it is to the
other that it must look.
This of course is in the abstrac..
In the concrete, it is the head of the
family to whom the child has the
first right to look to for care. As
this is the fact, then the state must
assume the duty in case the father
is reniss in his duty, or see to it tina.
he gives this care, if it is in his power
to do so.
In cases where ample care is given
by the head of the family, it is not
the province of society to in any way
interfere in the government of the
family. Where this is not the case
the supervising power of the govern
ment is not only right, but boun-
den duty. 1t follows then that the
state should take charge of the per-
son of the delinquent and compel
him to do his duty.
Another thought here intrudes it
self. If the state has the power to
force man to support those who are
by nature dependent upon him, it ma
turally follow that it has the duty
to perform of making it possible. for
him to do his part. In word he
should be supplied with the oppor-
tunity of making livelihood for his

An Eminent Visitor

Gov. John A. Johnson of Minnesota, who spent yesterday and last night in Birmingham, will proceed this morn ing to Tuscaloosa, where he is to be the orator at the university today. He is receiving a sincere welcome in Ala bama, and this city, not unused to en- tertaining notable visitors, feels itself especially honored in having within it's gates a gentleman so eminent. AS the chief executive of a great state Governor Johnson would have been accorded a hearty reception. But he is more than a governor. He is dem- ocratic statesman of uncommon force of character, winning personality and splendid capacity for affairs; and these traits, combined with his sweep ing victories in a republican common wealth, have attracted Tne attention Of the nation and have made of him a logical candidate for the presidency.
 Governor Johnson is not only a great man but his broad human sympathies and his unfeigned Americanism have won for him unbounded admiration and made him exceptionally popular politically. He will be nominated in 1912 and, humanly speaking, his cleo ton four years hence seems a cer- tainty.
 As a public speaker Governor John son is now in constant demand. He IS kept busy accepting invitations and is making an extended tour through the south in order to fill his appoint ments. Every one who sees him is drawn to him, and his travels around the country, therefore, will add to his already wide popularity. The people of Birmingham will only regret that his sojourn here is to be short Let us hope that he will carry away such pleasant impressions as will cause him to repeat his visit
