1--we in Salt Lake. As for example.
Inc family of a downtown business
man lives in Harlem, and the mother
sends her two little children, one of
them a baby. out for a walk in the
park, under the care of a new nurse
maid. The nursemaid may be pretty.
and there may be other reasons But
she gets into the condition described
as 'spivicated" in the mountain vocab-
uiary; and she abandons the children
perambulator and all
The mother goes out and looks down
street for her babies, and even that
doesn't hurry them home So she tele-
phones for her husband. and he comes
up to Harlem in his own automobile.
and receives the maternal report.
Then he huTries to the police station,
and is informed that his children are
safe in the Gerry society. And he goes
down there as fast as he dares, con-
sidering that there are speed-cops in
nearly every block.
But the Gerry society refuses TO give
him his children. They admit they have
the little ones, but they don't know
the father from side of sole leather.
and don't care what he is worth. He
can't cut through the Gerry society red
tape and he can't telephone to any
one. He can get his children tomor-
row morning in the children's court,
and not a minute sooner.
Think of the mother, up there in her
Harlem home, and the father, ex-
hausting his language without disturb
ing the peace. Think of the two of

having to beg permission to go into
the children's room, and fondle her
babies.
Why, OF course it is lucky for the
Gerry society they are in New York.
If they were here in Salt Lake, and
undertook such a feat as that, the
town would turn out and put the en-
tire red-tape establishment into the
lake, and roll Antelope Island upon
them.
Distance lends enchantment i'm such
a case as this.

PROBLEM OF THE HOLY ROLLERS

In various of the eastern press we
get items now and again about the
Holy Rollers. And here is an extended
article about their origin, their scheme,
and the results of it.
From the article we find that the
Holy Rollers believe no man or woman
fully entitled to the blessings of their
religion will ever die. They are mis-
taken about that, as occasional deaths
in the Michigan colony have proved.
But they defend themselves with the
statement that those who shuttle off
this mortal coil have not fully won the
blessing.
But, aside from that: Here is a Curl
Gus sect, holding to unbelievable
declarations. and yet apparently re-
Iigious. They seem to be moral. They
certainly are Industrious They live
largely in the open, and own numbers
of farms on which they raise a pecu-
liarly fine grade of fruit and grain
They enforce the rule of bodily clean
illness, and the life of celibacy is sup
posed to govern them.
They get converts from different
classes Of people, but for the most part
their recruits bring some money to the
colony. Also, they claim to make bet
ter the men and women who come to
them. They have strict hierarchy.
and every member of the colony is
compelled to obey.
OF course, their claims are fustian.

ment and power, the rest of the ma
ton has a right to believe that pros
perity is at least approaching.
There seems no reason to doubt the
revival of commercial activity in every
part OF the country, and in every
branch Of business. Railroad COM
panies are managed by careful men.
They are not making costly additions
to their properties without good rea-
son. 1t is a part of their business TO
see what are the conditions of the
country. They know whether they are
going to have enough demand to war
rant them in making big cash invest
ments. If next year were going to be
as other years have been, there would
be small purchases by the railroad
companies. They would do just as do
other men. They would get along"
with what was already on hand.
These two items mentioned are but
induces Of a general revival of bust
ness. The country is awakening TO d
return of commercial activity. 1t will
be felt in every department of life. We
Of Salt Lake are going to get the bene-
fit of it. There will be more demand
for city property; more demand for
mining stock in good companies; more
travel, and more freedom in general
purchases.
Don't think for a minute that the
nation can prosper without the effect
of il being felt here in Utah.

USE FOR ELASTIC CONSCIENCE

Riggs and Briggs are two Montreal citi-
zens, more or less interested i'm municfpal
affairs. They differ on several burning
questions but unite in a strong dislike
for O'Flaherty (which is not the gentle
mans name). The same O'Flahertv has
a positive gift for manipulating votes and
is capable of looking after a larger hand
of the faithful" than any other Mon
treal politician.
It's men like O'Flaherty who give this
city a bad name, said Riggs warmly.
Hes got no principles at all. In tacr.
he doesn't think of anything but getting
his man in.
That's So" responded Briggs. eff I
had a conscience as elastic as O'FIahertv's
I'd make it into a rubber trust"

NO LONGER A MENACE.

of GermaRv's discount rate would
be likely to take place yesterday,

week or two weeks hence,
change does take place, it will
probably be downward instead OF
upward. Possibly the Bank of

Thursday, though this is unlikely

In each country politics is having
less effect on the bourses than il

GAS EXPLOSION AT TsPEKA.

Last Sunday m~rning the press
room of the Topeka Capital was
badly shaken up by gas explosion
that shook things around at great
rate and set the whole interior on
hre. 1t seems there was leak in
the gas main and the gas found its
way into the press room through
the conduits of the telephone lines.
The foreman was badly burned and
another man considerably scorched.
In the room were stored seven cars
of paper, this with other stock and
iniamable parts of the presses was
destroyed.
The loss to the plant is placed a,

very fortunate that there were not
several men killed.
Topeka has been very short on
gas during the cold weather. Leaky
pipes may account for soms of the
trouble.

THE EXP OFZELAYA.
Z.laya's abdicatlon makes

Z:laya's abdicatlon makes a
sweeping chan,e in the situation
in Nicaragua. 1t will probably
mean the accession Of Estrada, the
revolutionary chief, to the presidency
of that country, or Of fsomsbody else
who will be in sympathy with the
elements which forced Zelaya 10
step down. While the Insurgents
seem to have had a majority ut the
people on their side, their campaign
was managed badly. They were
unable to make the headway against
the dictator which the liberal,
progressive section of the NicAra-
quaAs desired, and which tAe UAlted
States and the rest of the world
wanted to see. Estrada appeared
to have all the advantages on his
side except actual possession OF the
capital and the Office. He had a
larger force than Zslaya, had the
moral support of the wsrld, and
had the United States vessels to fall
back upon IN case ot defeat.
Adventures from the United States
and from many of the Latin Amsri-
can countries were among his forces.
Zelaya's indictment as a political
brigand by Secretary Knox, and
the probability of United States
intervention at an early day, were
assets on Estrada's side.
In the last few vesks Of his rule
Zelaya was an Ishmaeli,e among
the peoples of the hemisphere. The
hands OF all OF them were against
him. When his representative In
Washington received his passports,
and W en- Secretary Knox branded
him as brigand among th0 worlds
executives, the events shaped them
selves which were destined to crush
him. The United States vessels
which were steaming toward kicsra
guam waters told kim that the day
of his strutting on the Central
Americaa stage was near its, end.
No early action was expested on
the demands by Sulzer in the House
and Rayner in the Senate that
Zelaya be caPtared by the United
States forces, and tried on the
charge of Nurder Of the Americans,
Groce aad Cannon, who were officers
In Estrada's army. This was
matter with which the executive
branch OF the government was
competent to deal, and Congress
refrained from making any declara-

rion. When Senator Cullom, the
chairman of the. Committee on
Foreign Relations of his chamber,
asked Secretary Knox for inform a.
ton whjeh cou 4 be laid before the
Senate and the public, the secretary
requested him to wait day or two
for developments. He probably
expected crisis in Nicaragua,
which would put new face on
Affairs in that locality. The crl.is
has arrived.
1t is just as true to day, however,
as it was two days ago. When
Secretary Knox told this to Special
Envoy Creel, that Zelaya himself is
United States issue. If the
United States decides to deal with
him on the charge of murder of the
American prisoners of war, Mexico
will not be allowed to interfere.
Should the late dictator be
apprehended and tried by US for his
offenses against the law of nations,
new departure would be made in
diplomacy. Theoretically, as the
head of an independent state he
would be smenable only to the laws
of that state, but as he has been an
offender against the usages of
civilization his punishment by the
United States, even if il were far
less severe thaa that which had
been urged in Congress, would
have a deterrent effect on future
marlpots On this continent. The
demonstrations which were
made against Zelaya in his own
capital in the past few days show
that his elimination was desired by
the larger and better portion of his
people. Ii the United States should
proceed against him for his crimes
the world would app'auA rs: and no
even the~Latin American portion cf
the world would have any excu:s for

long career he was disturber,
both for his immediate neighbors
and for us. The peace Facts which
were signed b. Nicaragua and The
other four Central American
countries in the past few years were
torn up by Ncaragua's executive
before the ink was fairly dry upon
them. The Temple of Peace, which
was dedicated with elaborate
cere m oniss in one of the nsighboriRg
countries two years ago, was made
