1T STOPPED THE RUN.

During the financial crisis i'm New YORK
Washington was filled with tales of how
runs had been stopped on banks. Per
haps one of the best was told by a Mis-
souri, congressman.
I'm the old days" he said, there was
a banker in Kansas City. one J. s. Chick.
His bosom friend was Wyandotte In
dian named, Hiram Northrup, who was
also banker at Wyandotte, about three
miles from Kansas City. run started
on the Chick institution. 1t looked like 1t
would have to close its doors. Northrup
went to the Missouri Pacific shops ami
gathered all the old iron washers he could
find. These were conveyed to his bank.
There he dumped them into sacks marked
as holding gold amounting to $4,000 each.
The next day the sacks were taken out
of the bank and conveyed to wagons.
Surrounded by a strong guard of eight
men. armed with revolvers and rifles.
the wagons moved slowly toward Kansas
City. They were halted in front Of Chick 5
bank. The heavy sacks were conveyed
inside the bank. Hundreds of people wit
messed the operation. Many of them were
depositors. One Of them said to his
friends, uuconsciously repeating the
Frenchman in Mark Twins "Roughing
It:
Well. now that they re got the money,
DON'T want it
''The effect of this deposit was cleo
trio. The run stopped at once and the
bank was saved. few days later the
sacks were returned to the Wyandotte
bank to the great pride and satisfaction
OF the people of the locality which 1t

wise ways and means whereby the Cal
houn case can be expedited verdict
may be had before the present genera
weeks have passed and so far only six
jurors out of a possible twelve have
been sworn in. Perhaps the people
themselves are to blame for the exist
ing state of things. and in this connec-
ton the code of ethics for the laymen
to be reported at the next meeting of
the Illinois Bar association is worth
reading. Some of the points ma sc are:
THE ethical spirit of the general
public manifestly fixes the ethical tone
of the learned professions"
THE standard Of morals of any COM
munity can scarcely be higher than the
moral tone Of any trade, business or
profession of that community"
ut Is unethical for clients. witnesses
or the general public to expect the law
yer or judge to aid them either to evaGe
or to defeat just laws. 1t is unethical
to insist that a lawyer shall transgress
upon the sanctity and political obliga-
tons of the just man."
IF any public official be derelict in
the performance of his sworn duty,
then the citizen should perform his
ethical, civic duty at the ballot box"
1T is wholly unethicai to hold in
contempt the public Office merely be-
cause of distrust for the man who hap
pens to occupy that office"
The above is the lawyers point of
view. The contempt of the average
man for the way in which justice is
ladled out in the courts is due in a
large measure to the fact that the law
yers are allowed to "skirmish along the
borderland of crime" in defense Of
clients whose guilt is palpable. The
professional code of ethics is too elias
tic. The layman, of course. can use
the ballot box in the effort to perform
his civic duties but in a majority Of
cases ne votes for a lawyer TO repre-
sent him in the legislature or the halls
of congress. and the necessary relief
has so far failed to materialize in
many, many cases. There are indica-
tions. however. that in the near future
there will be fewer loopholes in the
law through which the lawyer can push
his client.

GOVERNMENT CASE coLLAPsEs.

The case of the government against
the Standard Oil company of Indiana
has collapsed. The end came when
Judge Anderson instructed the jury to
bring in a verdict of not guilty. 1t has
been evident ever since the beginning
of the second trial that the court had
little sympathy with the prosecution
and it was stated that i'm no event
could the fine exceed 500, 900 in case of
conviction.
Thus endeth the second chapter. It
is said that the whole issue win come
before the supreme court Of the United
States very soon through an unexpect-
ed and novel move by the department
of Justice" The whole affair has been
more or less of a novelty, including the
picturesque Judge Kenesaw Mountain
Lands. who imposed the fine of 500
900 upon the oil octopus. If the de-
novelties" up its sleeve it is TO be
hoped something may be accomplished
in the direction of stopping the crime
of rebating or Furnishing the guilty
With a jurist in the presidential chair
and cabinet composed Of noted law
vers. we should have less novelties in
the administration of the law as well
as in the operation of governmental af-
fairs in general The only safe way is
to build upon a sure foundation.

cENAToR BADGERS BUNCoMsE.

Senator Badgers fiery and eloquen;
Indignation at the use of church in
huence to affect the legislatures action
on prohibition suggests a few ques-
tions.
Did Senator Badger rise to protest
against the campaign speeches made
from Mormon church platforms in be-
half of his ticket by stake presidents of
that church last fall?
Did anybody hear him splitting his
vocal chords against church interfer-
ence when, in his behalf. Nephi Morris.
Frank Y. Taylor and other enthusiasts
called on Democrats to abandon their
party that the Mormon church and
Shoots senatorship might be saved?
When, by the aid of these church of
ficials, who now admit their mistake,
SInoot was sent back to the senate for
six years, did Badger manifest any
pangs that could be noticed?
What sort of a kangaroo conscience
has this man Badger. anyway, that he
can accept election at the hands of
Morris, Taylor and their mistaken as
sociates, and then declaim violently
against the abuse of church power
which is now being exerted on a purely
moral question:
And what sort of brains does he at
tribute 10 his constituents that he ex-
poets them to believe his drivel on the
evils of the one influence that has made
possible the election of him and his
kind to the Legislature of Utah?

administration in this country and the
powers than control in Europe, silver

increased in the near future. Only the

There is a certain naval officer of the

The following story is told concerning
this admiraTs command of a SQUADRON en-

officer observed one day that the men OF
his ship the flagship, seemed to lag pc

night to guard a wagon load of goods.
He shivered in the unsheltered place for
some hours bordering many things. and
then a bright thought struck him just as
the colonel came around on his tour of
inspection.

A TERRIBLE LOSS.

As is the case with all occurrences
where tragedy is uppermost, the collision
between the Republic and the Florida
brought out some amusing incidents Here
is one.
When the RepuDuc passengers were
brought on hoard the Baltic many goI
thern had saved practically none of their
belongings. One lady, arrayed in a night
gown and fur coat, all she had brought
with her from the sinking ship, climbed
over the side Of the Baltic and spied a
sort of bulletin board on which notices
of interest to the passeI gers were post
ed. The following caught the lady's eye;
''I,ost-One gold button. Finder please
return to ---
one fur coat looked long and solemnly at
that notice.
.'T,ost-One gold button" she murmure,i
dreamily Think of it-one button-lost.
Then she went into Mysteries.

RALEIGH JOINS IN
POPULAR PASTIME
Takes Raps at Board OF Works
in Matter of Tearing
Up Streets.
SUBMITS ANNUAL REPORT
STREET SUPERVISOR OFFERS
SUGGESTIONS.

Jake T. Raleigh. the city's ubiquitous
street supervisor, has again stepped
Into the limelight with few more re-
quests and recommendations to add to
those the city council is already con-
sideTing. IN submitting to Mayor
BransfOrd the annual report of the
irrigation and street department, he
takes shot AT the board OF works and
asks that responsibility be fixed Jeff
niteiy for the care of the paved streets
either with his department or that of
the board of works. He puts it this
way:
In the year just ended this depart
ment has been seriously handicapped
in maintaining the proper care Of the
paved streets, due TO the conflicting
authority between the board of works
and this office, in the matter of issuing
permits to tear up the streets, and /
would respectfully urge that the re-
spOnsibility be placed in one OF the
other department."
Raleigh also asks for two more clerks
in the poll tax department. He reports
the poll tax collections in 1908 as S15.
SIS, the largest amount yet received ~
the city from this source. For 1897 the
collections amounted 20 S10,S96 an in
crease of 1889 for the present year.
While this increase is gratifying,
says Raleigh, Il am satisfied that II
can be largely added to by increasing
the present force by at least two more
men a. a salary Of SO each"
For Good Roads.
The street supervisor also suggests
that State street be paved from Sew
enth TO Ninth South street, to connect
with the maeadam running to Twelfth
South that Second West be paved
from South Temple to the Warm
Springs. and that the county road be
graded from Warm springs to the city
limits. This. ne says, would make a
irst-class state road running north
and south through the city.
He also recommends the establishing
of'a ditch along the north side of Elev-
snth avenue from the city cemetery,
dropping down into the hollow leading
to City Creek canyon. TO carry off the
overflow from the northeast bench in
rainy seasons.
Not a spendthrift.
out Of his total appropriation OF
SI30,000 Raleigh spent only s101, 600. He
has asked the board of estimates and
appoTtionment to give MIN S14e, 900 to
spend in 1909 but that body declined.
and. instead, reduced his figures to
S13,0O0 Of which 500 OOG viii be for the
streets and 5000 for irrigation work.
For special work S5.1S6 was apprOpriat-
ed last year. and Raleigh reports hav-
ing spent only S4.500.S5 of II.
During the year Raleigh says he has
pat in 402 new fumes and repaired 2Ta
old ones. He built nine new bridges
and pa tched mp 10 of the old ones.
There we're graded by the department
tiurinE the year 6J-5 blocks.
The city now has. according to the
report. 100 blocks of paved streets,
ibirty-One blocks of maCadam. 553
miles of bitches. twenty-fouT miles of
canals ninety-five wagon bridges. 1855
feet of fumes. 4,790 intersection fumes,
1850 crossings, sixty-four canal foot
bridges. 245 headgates and in all $50
