Congressman an ass. 1t was neces-

Sharp Lookout

Close Watch on Ship by Customs
officers Is Again Rewarded

Philadelphia, April 20.-The
close watch over The Philadel-
phia by the customs officers was
rewarded early Monday morn
ing when two suit cases were
seized as they were about to be
taken off the ship. The cases,
the contents of which the Gus
toms officials will not disclose,
were taken to the seizure room
at the public stores, in Washing
ton street.
The wardrobe trunk which
was brought on the Philadel-
phia from SOUTHAMPTON and
Cherbourg as cleft over bag
gage" and which may contain
expensive gowns, win be taken
to the seizure room today if no
claimant appears for it. Sew
eral other trunks are also held,
but it is believed that their own
ers will come for them. They,
too, will be taken to the public
stores if not claimed.

HELP HE JUVENILE oouRT.

Every city has its problems. We
probably have fewer of them here in
salt Lake than any other city knows.
One Of these is that in connection with
the juvenile court. 1t has not the sup
port it ought to have.
Here is a pretty sound bit of wisdom
and there is no pretense of original
fly. The efforts of police and courts
should be identical with the efforts of
tho great physicians. They try now
adays to find the causes for disease, and
remove the causes. There was a time
when men Of medicine directed their eff
forts TO individual cases. When a man
got sick, they tried to help him: TO cure
him. Lately they have taken the broad
er view, and their efforts now are
marked by the bigger hope Of prevent
ing the cause of disease.
That is precisely what, the courts and
the police should do. That is precisely
what society should do in the matter of
moral delinquents. 1t is the duty Of
society and all its agencies to remove
OF these preventive agencies there is
none so effective as the juvenile court.
We have a number Of district courts in
this county, a police court in the city
and three very able men on the supreme
bench Of the state. It would be better
for the state to pay ten times the pres
ent cost of the juvenile court, and pre-
vent the criminal actions which later
take up so much Of the time of the
higher courts. 1t would be better to
prevent than TO try to cure the disease.
1t is rather a severe commentary on
our community that the juvenile court
IS hunting a home. Of course it will
find one. But even so, our people gen
orally do not give to it the consideration
fits wonderful possibilities warrant. And
they do not give TO the problem that So
luton which rests more on a desire to
prevent than a purpose TO punish crime.

HAIL TO. eUNNIsoN, UTAH

Gunnison. Utah, is now & town. 1t
has taken the necessary steps, backed
by a vote of the people concerned. And
the olden, unorganized method is a thing
Of the past.
There are possibilities for Gunnison.
We do not look for any miracle to be
worked in its case. We look for the
good people there to prove to the rest
Of the world that they are good enough
to compose a town. And that they are
going to make the town and its sur
roundings go forward just as fast as
they can,
Back of Gunnison is one of the best
countries that lie out Of doors. 1t is
populated by some of the best people on
earth. There are possibilities there
amazing to the resident of the worm
out eastern states. It's men are making
progress along intelligent lines. That
region will be one to boast of in a few
years.
And the men who made a town of
Gunnison will live to make a city of it
yet-and a city we all will be proud Of,
TOO.

DO ALL MEN WANT TO VOTE?

There is absolutely nothing in the ar
gument that no women should have the
right of franchise until all the women
want TO vote.
Do all men want TO vote?
Not by a many. Every man connect
ed with the work of campaigns knows
there are hundreds-maybe thousands
Of men-in every city who have to be
worked up to a perfect frenzy before
they go to the polls. They don't like to
be bothered with it. They know there
IS going to be an election, and they know
its result affects them. But they can't
be forced or hired or cajoled into going
10 the polls.
If there is anything in the anti-wOman
suffrage argument that no woman
should be allowed TO vote until all the
women demand the ballot, there is sure
y something in the argument that the
ballot should be taken from all men
until all men go to the polls.
As things are now, the men will vote
If they are stirred up to it, have the
time. and some one sends an automobile
after them election day. And every
community has samples Of the lords of
creation" who don't vote at any other
time.

DININNY DOESN'T DESERVE 1T.

We read with regret that the amusing
Dininny suffers under the displeasure of
the Kearns crowd-the inner circle
which is trying so hard to get another
un-American mayor for the city of Salt
Lake.
The amusing Dininny doesn't deserve
it. Hasn't he decided every question as
they told him to? Has there ever been
a time when he permitted a little matter
Of the law to color his rulings? Didn't
he talk when they told him to about the
stOckade? And then didn't he keep 81
Ience when silence by officers of the law
was the only thing the stockade plotters
needed?
Didn't the amusing Dininny get on
both sides Of the slot machine question
with his office?
Didn't he back and fill in the matter
Of Sunday selling of intoxicants?
Has there ever been a time when the
inner circle wanted an opinion of a GER
tain kind that Dininny has refused to
write it-and precisely as they told him.
too?
We regret to note that he has so
abased himself to so poor an end. Con-
sidering how little ne knows about law.
and how much less he cares for it, we
should have expected the amusing Din
inny to stay secure in the good graces
Of the gang to which he long ago sold
/ himself.

MAKE THEM PROVE 1T.

If Commander PeaTy and DR.. Cook
shall be unable to convince each other
of the truth Of their respective claims.
we suggest that both of them be SEN
fenced TO go back to the pole and prove
it.
Let each of them make the actual
journey under the eye of the other. They
both Travelled about the same route.
They can go near enough together to
verify every step Of the way as shown
in their several diaries. They can make
observations, photographs, and note the
position of stars. There is way of
convincing even scientists, the most ex-
acting people in the world, of the truth
of that sort Of pretension.
These men are setting the world in a
commotion. They should be forced to
prove what they say. And since they
claim to have been to the pole, il will
be no cruel hardship to require them
to go there again.
What man has done, man can do.

BE HONEST WITH OURSELVES.

There is no reason why the people Of
Utah should not be frank and honest
with themselves. They are not so when
they pretend TO have but 1885,, O0O,-
900 worth of taxables in the state.
They know they Rave more But
they hold to that low appraise-
ment. because the constitution says
when the valuation runs above
$500, 100000 the present rate Of mills
for state purposes shall be reduced to s.:
and when the taxables run above $500, -
OOO,O 900 valuation. the rate for state pur-
pores shall be reduced to 4 mills-and
never go above that.
The honest thing would be for the
state to report just what x has. The
lower rate would make the burden of
tax no heavier than now. And the state
would look a whole lot better to every
one outside who makes inquiries. An
S-mill rate for state purposes is high.

A. Montgomery, Americas farmer
painter who is visiting Seattle and is
installed in a studio on the third floor OF

whose painted ears of corn on canvas are

when I was leaving the ArmOry two
weeks ago at the close of the bishop S

Epworth League convention, seventeen

WHAT DID PAUL AND sILAs Dor

People familiar with their Bibles will
remember that journey Of Paul and
Silas. when they reached one Of the
western cities, and there preached-to
the disturbing Of the populace. And
what happened there.
By way of undermining the story, let
US recount it here. Paul and Silas
preached, and a good many of those who
heard them believed. You know what
they preached, and what it means when
one says the people believed them.
But there were men who didn't want
Paul and Siias to proceed; who didn't
want the people to accept the doctrine
that Paul and Silas preached. So they
took out Paul and Silas and man
! handled them. In truth, they beat the
apostles. And some one ran to the Ro-
man soldiers and reported that there
was a fight, and that some unruly
| people were illtreating the strangers
the men who had been preaching a new
gospel in the city.
So the soldiers came, and rescued
| Paul and Silas, because the people who
! had been beating them ran away when
the peace officers Of the city came on
the scene.
But the charge against the two was
that they had put the city in an up
roar" They had. What they had to
preach was disturbing to the grating
oD5 f5oTo+~or,- ~,,=t~,,- - +bo ,,oo,,1o
who listened. And belief did make an
uproar. But it was one Of the uproars
which it is good for mankind to have
made. It Weakened men. It showed them
the right course. And the people there,
being like the people in Salt Lake, and
Ike the general run of people in any
other city in the world, they protested
against the ruling order. They accepted
the gospel Paul and Silas preached, and
openly and fearIessly declared against
the established habit of the city.
Up to that point Paul and Silas are
more or less reproduced in the gentle
men Of the Civic League, who worked
in Salt Lake last spring. Members of
that organization did not believe the
stockade was a good thing, and preached
against it. They put the city in an
uprOar." They had many meetings, and
/ raised mOney-which they spent, and it
! is not yet clear just how they spent it.
/ They secured the help of newspapers
/ which printed stories not welcome in
/ the columns of any newspaper-believ-
/ ing thereby they were serving the cause
/ Of public morals.
/ But now the same members of that
+ Civic League are leaders of what is
/ called the Citizens party, and they are
/ indoTsing for mayor the very man
/ against whom they preached last spring
It is as if Paul and Silas, being hun
/ CRY, had. reversed themselves, and be-
! gun preaching in favor of the stockade
And that is not pleasant position
/ for gentlemen TO take who "set the city
I in an Uproar."

or at least invest-a good deal Of money.
Mr.. Torrens puts the amount needed at
$4,000. That sum, properly invested.
would, with the moneys received for ad-
missions to the concerts, provide for a
thoroughly fiTst-class company. And
the thousands Of people in Salt Lake,
and in Utah, would possess the means
of musical culture which could never be
acquired in any other way for hun
dred times that amount.
The statement seems a perfectly rea-
sonable one. And we do not believe it
is impossible to add enough money to
the fund already in hand to complete
the $4,000. If that result could be at
tanned, there would be many more con-
certs in the season than are possible
now. The quality would be better, be
cause the fund would permit paying the
musicians for rehearsals absolutely nee
essary for a finished performance.
Salt Lake has the best streets in the
world, the most beautiful homes, schools
Of the highest efficiency, churches not
rivaled in any city, and a financial en-
inence which is never challenged.
Also. Salt Lake people love good mu-
sic. In no ordinary way can they be
provided with the means of developing
an orchestra equalling their other mer-
its. Chicago struggled with the same
problem, and finally solved it by raising
fund which made the orchestra secure
and independent forever. The fund
raised there was $1,000, 900, and with it
a building was erected, dedicated to the
orchestra and to Theodore Thomas. And
the rentals from that building make am
pie provision for all needed funds.
Nothing could better serve the higher
demands of life here than a similar eff
fort on the part of our people. No mill
liOn-dollar fund is needed. But the sum
that is needed can be secured, and it will
provide for Salt Lake and for Utah just
what the Chicago orchestra is provid-
ing for the countless thousands of peo-
ple-young and old-who every year
share in its blessings.

WAS NOT TOO BUSY.
Gondon Daily Chronicle.


Lieutenant Shackleton, in a happy
and manly speech which he made in re-
ply to the toast of his health by Mr.
Heinemann at the dinner given by that
gentleman at the Savoy hotel, told an
interesting story Of pOliteness in the
untTOdden regions Of the Antarctic.
His party, he said, were always eX-
tremely good humored and polite, and
one professor in particular attained a
degree Of politeness unusual under such
trying circumstances.
Are you busy, Mawson?" he called
out one night to another member of the
party who was in the tent.
7 am said MawsOn.
Very busy?" said the professor.
Yes, very busy"
eff you are not too busy, Mawsoa, ]

down a crevasse by his four fingers, q

been making to ourselves; the untrue
pretense we have been making. But we
believe Utah men have the ability to
handle the question with judgment and
success.
The governor should be urged to put
a tax commission to work, the duties Of
which would be to revise the revenue
laws OF the state of Utah; to get from
every assessor just what is the market
value of the property, and let the new
law provide for a rate in compliance
with the terms of the constitution.
Cities and school corporations should
be required to cut their levies at the
same time. Citizens would be fair with
each other. The revenue system of the
state would stand on a firm and sensible
foundation. And the taxes of the people
would be at least no heavier than they
are now.

THE PROPER EQUIPMENT.
(Success MaeaZine.l

A Methodist bishop was recently a
guest at the home of a friend who had
two charming daughters. One morning
the bishop. accompanied by the two
young ladies, went out in the hope Of
catching some trout. An old fisherman,
out for the same purpose, wishing to
appear friendly, called out:
"Ketchin' many, pard?"
The bishop. Strengthening himself to
his full height, replied: Brother, am a
fisher of men,"
You've got the right kind O bait, ali
right" was the fisherman's rejoinder.

MORE OF THE SYMPHONY
ORCHESTRA.

Monday evening was marked by rath-
er an unusual event in Salt Lake. A
very large audience gathered in the
First Congregational church to meet
Mr.. L. A. Torrens of Chicago man
who has been identified with the cause
Of good music for half a century. He
has had intimate relations with SYM
phony orchestras since the days of the
old Boston organization, perhaps the
parent of its kind in the United States.
And he had few words to say relative
to the cause of the symphony orchestra
in Salt Lake.
The substance of what he said is: If
salt Lake wants a good symphony or
chestra, Salt Lake will have to spend
