RUNNING SORES.

There are five men IN a certain 10

essential to this story, who are afflict-

eventually destroys thcm. There are
running sores on the bodies of these
wrecked men the sight OF which Is

the calling OF doctor OF a nurse.
These men are prematurely old,
they are helpless. they are ruined.
They are suffering from disobed-
ience Of the moral and social law. Too
late, they have realized what all this
preaching about clean lives means;
too late, they see the cost of their fol.
ly.
Some people may be shocked at the
suggestion we here make, that the

they are old enough and bright en-

There are too many prudish fathers

fail to speak plainly to their children;
and 1t is just possible that not one In

their reserve and tell all they know.
Even men who believe themselves to

BETTER POOR THAN DRUNK.

Mr.. Editor: The burden of proof
that financial disaster will follow pro
hibition rests with the opponents of
that measure. The 100000 which Is
spent for liquor will still be spent or
deposited In banks. With eleven
months warning much of the natural
depression would be avoided. The lid
uor men would have time to look Tor
ether lines Of activity The owners of
buildings rented TO saloons would have
a chance to seek other tenants for
their property. AS soon as the natural
effect of prohibition began to operate.
all the present lines of business would
ieel the effect of the transfer to them
of the money before expnded for drink
Have you no confidence in the sta-
tility of Ogden? Is the strength OF
our city dependent upon the saloon in
forests? Is Ogden 80 weak that 1t must
permit the terrific evils of the saloon,
which you so justly stigmatize, In or
der that 1t may live? Must We con-
tinue to make the innocent wives and
children suffer and the drinker be
demoralized. rather than to stop it at
a little temporary financial loss to
those who can we'll afford It?
Where did many-yea, most-ot
those who are engaged In the liquor
business make their money? Most OF
them In that very business, If they
lose some by the same way shall they
say that they are treated unjustly?
Why should we hesitate to do right
10 stop wrong and shame. simply be.
cause we may suffer financially? II
right is right, let us do 1t, even II we
all suffer- Better nation all poor
and sober than few rich and many
drunken
Why should we hesitate and give
those who are making money off the
degradation and foollshness Of men a
lease of life? II their sense of hu-
manity is so small as to engage in
such a business. do they suffer an
injustice in our action OF prohibition?

UTAH PRIMARIES A DISGRACE.

A direct primary measure is now
before the Utah Legislature which
should be given close attention The
weak spot In the election laws of this
state is the primary. The primary reg
ulations are such that the scheminG
and crafty politician Is, invited to
control the politics Of this state. The
mass primaries are often attended by
only those concerned in ofiice-getting
and too often disgraceful scenes are
enacted, which serve to warn a big
majority of the voters away from sim
liar gatherings.
Utah is far behind any one of twenty
states In the union IN which primary
legislation has becn subject OF care
full consideration. In this state the
practice is the same as 1t was In the
border states of thirty years ago.
There has been no advancement to-
ward a safeguarding Of the primary
voter. Utah has its Australian ballot
system for general elections. but robs
its people OF the full benefits of sec
ret ballot by placing the power of NOM
nation in the hands of ward heelers.
When the plotting politicians of the
two parties have succeeded in naming
their candidates for office. they are
little concerned whether one side OF
the other wins. for both are tarred
with the same stick.

OPIUM PROBLEM
REQUIRES COURAGE

Shanghai. Feb. bishop C. H.
Brent of the Philippines, who heads
the American delegation to the inter
national Opium conference. and who
was chosen permanent chairman OF the
conference at It's opening session today
made a brief address In taking the
chair. He said the commission had
to deal with a problem which required
courage and sincerity. All great prob
lens passed through two stages. The
first of these. the emotional stage, was
some times more independent OF the
facts than the occasion warranted and
found expression In agitation. This
stage had been passed by those who
were anxious to see the suppression OF
opium. and they had reached the sec
ond stage, that Of scientific analysis
OF the facts.

NEWHoUsE's SHELTER.

Samuel Newhouse has returned from
New York with assurances of ample
capital to make the corporation, which
is to be back Of the Fink smelling
process. equal to the task of providing
the mining west with a new smelter
which promises to revolutionlze the
mining industry.
For many years the Smelter trust
has been all-powerful In debating
terms to miners and mining companies
and the trust has been demanding the
largest margin possible without abso-
lutely destroying the industry, but the
days of grinding exactions are at an
end, If Samuel Newhouse and his
metallurgical experts have not been
unduly elated and over-sanguine in
their tests made less than q month

1t is stated that In fuel consumption
and In the f1neness Of the product, the
Fink smelter completely eclipses the
present smelling process.
Instead of charging furnace with
alternate layers of fuel and ore with

serviceable In the electric field.
This process has been given a prac
tical test and the theory has been
proved, so that all that now seems
necessary Is to manufacture and In
