Does a prison sentence tend TO reform
a man who has committed a criminal
act. or is it in effect step toward maxi
ing him in the end what people designate
as the hardened" criminal?
This much-moOted question the
subject of many a debate. and has
had as many answers as there are view
points to the problem.
In a chat between Chief of Detectives
George Sheets and the reporter the other
night, the question was incidentally
brought up. it being prompted mainly by
the arrest of Charles Lade, charged with
highway robbery, within Two months
after ne had been released from a ten
years sentence in the state prison for
similar crime.
From the police standpoint. at least as
expressed by Chief of Detectives Sheets,
after years OF experience in criminolOgy,
the prison, in the last analysis. must be
considered SIMPLY as means OF punish
ment. and that il fails as corrective
Tor or even deterrent to crime.
The result of Mr.. Sheets observations
and experience may be summed up terse
~ that in the case of the majority ''once
"a criminal, always criminal. that at
least 90 per cent OF the criminals have
the inherent trait in that direction, that
the history of ninety-nine out of every
hundred professional crooks" can be
traced back through various prisons,
even back to the reform schools; and
that even the man who under stress of
circumstances fell into criminal ways,
has little more left than the option of
suicide or to continue in a criminal ca
reer, after he has completed his first
term of Imprisonment, even though he
might De thoroughly sincere in his desire
to blot out his past and lead a new life.
No" said Chief Sheets, the prison
sentence does not reform a man. You
can see that by the prison records them
selves. In fact it tends, if anything. to
make a criminal Why? Well. it's large
~ due. I think, to the system in vogue.
When a man is wanted for any crime,
his photograph and complete description
are sent TO every city and town in the
country. Supposins he is caught and
serves a sentence for his crime. and af-
ter his release he goes to another town,
honestly endeavoring to hide and live
down his disgrace, why, the first thing
that happens is that he is spotted and
generally is made TO move ON. This hap
pens everywhere he goes and he soon
learns that no matter where he goes. his
record IS known and the chances for his

Situation Is Unique.

The situation in regard 10 rates is
unique in Utah and Colorado, for they
are the only states that are denied the
ali-rail rates benefit. They have not
the advantage of water competition
that states east of the Mississippi, on
the Pacific coast or on big rivers have.
Because they have not got the natural
advantages for water competition, the
roads have the two states in their
clutches. and they know il. They show
it, too, by the way they are using us.
Take the coal rates here in Utah.
and they are altogether too high. They
are out of proportion to the coal rates
in other states. Jim Hill, the railroad
maglate, testified recently before the
interstate commerce commission that
all his roads carried coal at the rate
of mills per ton per mile. Denver
and Salt Lake pay for their own local
coal mined in the two states at the
rate of between 40 and 50 mills per ton
per mile.
salt Lake and Denver will never be
manufacturing centers if the present
rates continue 1t costs too much &c
get the coal into the factories for them
to live.
You had four wooden mills in Utah
only a few years ago. Do the people
realize that not one of them is now
running? The railroads. with their
exorbitant rates for shipping coal. put
them out of commission. We had cot
ton. wooden and dozen other kinds of
mills start up in Denver in the past
fifteen years They all had to go broke
or so out of business, for they couldn't
stand the coal rates.

Urges United Effort.

THE coal rates are reasonable back
east and the mills and factories are
going to stay there as long as you
stand for the rates now in force. The
railroads certainly will not lower them
of their own accord. They want to ship
the wool and other raw products way
back east so they can get the profit
from that long transportation.
IF the rate question was put before
a jury of faiT-minded citizens. it would
quickly be decided in favor of the
merchants.
Il advise the business men of Salt
Lake. of all Utah. to band together. for
there is nothing like unity. With the
power and influence of a solid organi-
cation behind you. make a demand on
the railroads for reaojustment of the
rates so that you will get fair treat
ment. If you don't get satisfaction,
then fight. The more you fight for
your rights and the harder you fight.
the more the railroads will respect you.
The whole trouble is that the Amer
lean people will kick at indirect
taxation. They viii kick at direct tax
alton. but they seem 10 be too lazy to
realize that they are paying more
than they ought to for nearly every
in life in this section. Get
the people educated and make them
feel that they are paying too much for
their necessities. and let them know
that the railroads are the cause of il,
as they are and then the uprising will
come. The turning point is bound to
come, for right will conquer in the
end
The mass meeting will be held at S
O'Clock tonight, and all business men
are cordially invited.

ABOUT ADVERTISING-NO s
If 1t Fits You Wear
This Cap
By Herbert Kaufman
By Herbert Kaufman

Advertising isn't crrcible with which
lazy, bigoted and incapable merchants can
turn incompetenCy into succesS-but one into
which brains and tenacity and courage can be
poured and changed into dollars 1t is only
a short cut across the fields-not moving
platform. You can't get there" without
going some"
It's game in which the q0orker-not the
shirker-gets rich.
By its measurement every man stands for
what he is and for what he does, not tor what he
qUas and what he did.
Every day in the advertising world is another
day and has to be taken care OF with the same
energy as it's yesterday.
The gutter cantsurviUe where the plngge,
has ghost OF a chance.
Advertising doesn't take the place of busi-
ness talent or business management. 1t simply
tells what the business i, and hoqU it is managed
The snob whose father created and who is
content to live on what was handed to him
can't stand up against the man who knows he
must build for himself.
What makes you think that you are entitled
to prosper as well as a competitor who aCorks
taUice as hard for his prosperity?
Why should as many people come to your
store as patronize shop that makes an endeavor
to get their trade and shows them that it is
qOorth qUhiIe to come to its doors?
Why should newspaper send as many Gus
toners to you in half the time it took to fill an
establishment which advertised taUfce as long
and paid tq0ice as much for its publicity?
This is the day when the best man wins
after he proUes that he is the best man-when
the best store wins, when it has shown that it is
the best store-when the best goods win, after
they've been demonstrated to be the best goods.
Ifyou wantth plumyou can't get it'll by lying
under the tree with your mouth open waiting
for it to drop-too many other men are willing
to climb out on the limb and risk their necks
in their eagerness to get it away from you.
1t is mans game-this advertising-just
hanging on and Juggling and straining all the
time to get and keep ahead 1t is the finite ex-
preston Of the law of competition which sits in
blind folded justice over the markets of the
world.

HE FINDS A GOOD ONE.
Medical Society in Clay Center
Pleases DIR. Crumbine,

They have the best medical society
In Clay county that I know of any
where in the state" said DR.. s. J.
mbine, secretary Of the state
board of health on his return from
Clay Center where he delivered an
address Tuesday night on the subject
of city sanitation.
Their medical society up there is
one that does things. 1t has public
meetings, and invites everybody in
to hear the doctors discuss subjects of
popular interest. The members of the
society come from all parts of Clay
county and adjoining counties, and
bring their wives. They are like one
big family. 1t is very pleasant to see
how nicely the doctors get along with
each other. I know many towns in
the state where professional jealousy
is SO strong that the doctors won't
speak to each other, and when a
consultation is desired, 1t is necessary
to send out Of town to get doctor, as
speaking terms. It's very different at
Clay Center.
This meeting was to talk about
ter, but 1 must say that Clay Center
needs a clean up day about as little
as any town in the state. They have
one of the cleanest and prettiest
towns there that I know of any
where, and their sewer system and
water supply are far above the aver
age
