EDITORIAL
A SENSIBLE PROHIBITION BILL
 AT LAST.

After frittering away almost three fourths of the session of the legislature with score of prohibit ton bills, some foolish, some per nicious and none i'll accord with the demand of the people, there | has at last been introduced in the senate bill which, if framed as reported in the Little Rock papers, is sure to meet with popular ap- proval and which ought to be passed.
 This bill, which was introduced by Senators Mckenzie and Hen derson, simply provides that a special election shall be held on July 2S of this year for the purpose of voting upon the question of state wide prohibition, and that if majority of the votes cast at this election shall be i'll favor of prohi- bition, no license shall be issued in any county for the sale of liquor.
 The proposed measure has many points in it's favor. In the first place, it is simple. The present local option laws are we'll under stood They have been passed upon time after time by the SUI preme court. This bill extends the local option laws so that the state and not the county is the unit.
 The bill contains no such loop holes for the sale of liquor as the pernicious Gam bill, which came perilously near enactment. The laws now in force simply forbid the sale of liquor without license. Il the Mckenzie Henderson bill be- comes law and the people ratlfy it at the polls it will still be unlaw- ful to sell liquor without license and it will be beyond the power ol any authority to grant such license.
 Another commendable feature is the provision for submission to the people. No prohibition law can be enforced without the backing of public sentiment. In view of the plank in the democratic platform demanding submission of the ques ton to the voters, statutory pro hibition bill would have lacked the force of public sentiment, especially in the only communities to which it would apply, those which now license the sale of liquor.

CHIEF POSTAL INSPECTOR
MAKES ARREST IN OGDEN
Rem Sailor Railway Clerk Custody of Special Civil Service
Taken Salt Lake to Face Charge of Stealing
Money From u. S. Mails-Alarming Number of Thefts
N the West Being Traced by Offcers-Marked Bills
Found Person of Alleged Thief

they were turned over TO the transfer
clerk at ogden, Wednesday afternoon.
they were taken in charge by the post
office inspectors Two of the letters
were found TO be short a So bill each,
although the letters had been so artls-
tically opened and closed that none
but an expert would have detected
the fact that they had been tampered
with
AS soon as the money was found TO
be missing, the inspectors called Sail
or into private office and demanded
return Of the stolen bills. Sailor
pleaded that he was innocent. but
when compelled TO turn over the mon.
ey he had upon his person the mark
ed bills were found Upon learning
that he had walked into a trap set for
linn by the postofIlce inspectors, Sail.
or broke down and admitted his guilt.
AS near as the inspectors have been
able to determine, the total amount
thus secured by Sailor within the
past few weeks Is $3.50
Sailor was brought to Salt Lake
and turned over to United States
Marshal Smyth, who. later, sent him
to the county Jail. where he Will have
TO remain, unless he succeeds In CIV
ing bonds. until the meeting of the fed
eral grand jury next November,
Sailors only excuse for his theftS
was that there had been considerable
sickness in his family and that he was
pressed for money.
The arrest came as shock to the
local Office employees. they having
known Sailor for some time In the
postal service and thought him be-
yond suspicion. 1t was stated by the
officers making the arrest, however,
that Sailor has been under suryell-
lance for some time, and that when he
was arrested some OF the marked bills
Of currency known to have been lost
in the mails had been found on his
person.
Sailor is an employe OF the govern
ment as railway mall clerk, his run
being between Salt Lake and north
ern point on the o. S. l. railroad, Og-
I den being his headquarters. His fam.
! fly reside here, and they are much
surprised and sorely worried over his
arrest
II is the opinion of the officers that
Sailor is not the only man implicated
in the many thefts from the mails that
have been brought to their notice dur
ing the last few months, but that there
are a number of others who are in
the employment of the government in
the postal service who have had a
hand in the matter.
