WHAT'S GAINED nv TIT

The execution at the state prison
in this city Friday morning, pub
lished in all its details, may serve
to cause the public to ask itself the
question, What is to be gained by
it?
Why should the state take the
life of any manP In days gone by,
when civilization had advanced
but little and when inadequate pro-
vision could be made for the safe
keeping Of dangerous men who had
forfeited their rights to participate
in society or in the ordinary pur-
suits of life, there may have been
some excuse for intlicting upon
them violent death after due and
careful elaboration, but now other
means are at hand already provided
for removing such persons just as
surely and just as safely from OPP
portunity to do other harm and at
the same time infict the most Sc
we're punishment possible for their
crime-the perpetual assurance Of
deprivation of personal liberty.
An end has been made to the
earthly existence of Fred Seward,
bnt what has Idaho gained by his
death2 1t does not bring back
that other life he took, and in the
knowledge of the execution it is
likely that men and women who
will never commit any crime felt
the terribleness of his death more
than any hardened criminal cap
able of committing a murder could
possibly have felt it. The asser-
ton is ventured that the execution
of Seward will not cause one single
less crime to be committed, In Ida
ho or the whole wide world.
He took one life; the state of
Idaho has taken another. How
can these two facts be made to bal
one the other? He deprived the
world of the possibility for any use
fulness of one life, even though the
woman whose death ended her ex-
istence here had protested desire
to reform and lead better life and
a more useful one; the state de-
prived a man of any opportunity
to fill the purpose of his existence
even in a modified, or compulsory
manner. If a life of hard labor
could be UTILIZED to the betlerment
Of society. would it not be better
for society to compel the gift of that
labor and would not that be
greater punishment even than
death for the commission of crime2

the income tax amendment to the AL
drich tariff bin has shifted the ground
of debate on that measure and put the
republican leaders on the defensive, says
the Salt Lake Herald. The discussion
opened by Senator Bailey led immedi-
ately to the frank avowal by Mr.. Aldrich
that he would oppose the income tax,
not because it would be Ubiquitous q
burdensome, but because the adoption
Of such tax would produce more rev.
enue than would be needed aud lead
necessarily to the reduction of import
duties on this bill.
In all the debates of congress on pro-
lection as principle, since the first
avowed protective tariff in 1916. no such
extraordinary proposition has ever been
advanced, much lest defended. The
Chicago plank advocating tariff which
shall equal the difference in labor cost
at home and abroad plus reasonable
profit for the manufacturer, is aban-
doned the encouragement of infant"
industries is not even mentioned; the
need of revenue, the last resort, IS not
only ignored, but an income tax is OPP
posed because it would provide too
much revenue unless the tariff is
lowered at the same time.
Brazen qualification OF party pledges
could 60 no farther. The Chicago plank
was avowedly a promise to revise the
tariff downward; it was so interpreted
by Mr.. Taft, and his Interpretation has
been emphasized by his attitude since
congress convened in special session.
Yet in the first debate on this measure
Mr.. Aldrich calmly repudiates the pres.
ident's uterances, discredits his party
platform and cody avowes his deter
nination to pass tar If law with du-
ties higher, if anything, than those Of
the Dingley law, an to fight an income
tax because it would involve a reduc
ton in duties.
Mr.. Aldrich's position is understood
better when it is known that some of
the senators on his side of the house
favor an income tax. Heretofore such
a tax has been considered impossible,
because the supreme court has decided
such a tax is unconstitutional. But Mr..
Taft and good many other able law
yers believe a law could be passed
which would be sustained ly the high
est court, particularly in view of the
fact that the last decision was by ma
jority of one in the court.
What ever the outcome of the debate
and the final vote on the income tax
amendment, it has served to disclose
the determination of the old.time Re-
publicans to defer a long as possible
any movement for the reduction OF the
tariff honestly or the distribution of tax
burdens more equitably. Ithas exposed
the insincerity of the Republican par
ly's platform pledges and thrown into
high relief the complete domination of
the senate and the Republican party by
those interests which have fattened on
special tariff privileges at the expense
of the consumer.

A Dramatic Incident,
Lost to the Audience

A highly dramatic incident occurred
during the vaudeville performance at
the Bungalow theatre last night, but
one which the large audience did not
see. Lew Williams of Smith, Evans and
Williams, who is appearing in his own
playlet, "Alrs Fair in LOe," was on the
stage at the time An elderly woman,
who had been quietly witnessing the
performance, arose and left the theatre
A few minutes later she appeared at the
stage door and tried to force her way
in. She excitedly cried, He is my son."
The elderly woman insisted upon go
ing out on the stage greeting Mr.. Will
liams, who she declared was her son,
whom she had not seen for many years.
1t seemed for a time that she would go
upon the stage and interrupt the act,
but she was finally induced to remain
quiet so that the audience would know
nothing about it.
She waited until the act was over, and
the actor received her in his dressing
room. He finally succeeded in convinc-
ing her that he was not her son,
She was finally persuaded to leave,
which she did tearfully, excIaiming her
own son would not recognize her. She
declined to give her name, but said she
was a resident of Denver, Colo When
seen by Herald-Republican reporter,
Mr.. Williams said his mother had been
dead fourteen years. and while he would
not be averse to having a mother, still
ne did not feel duty bound to adopt one

Especial to The Republican,
ogden, Nov. S.-For selling liquors. to-

Medicine Free In Every Case Where 1

FaitS to aeifeVes
Neglect or pessimism, we believe, is
the greatest enemy the public has to con-
tend with when applied to the loss or
recovery of health. Practically every case
OF consumption might have been cured
If hope had been maintained and proper
treatment had been resOrted to at the
first symptom of the disease. Until the
advanced stage is reached consumption is
durable. Catarrh is responsible we be-
lieVe. for many cases of consumption. Tt
is about catarrh we want to talk to you
today, incidentally consumption, since the
two are so closely allied
We have a medicine made from pre-
scr1pt1On of one Of the most successful
catarTh specialists known. We believe 1t
is positively without an equal. We are
so satisfied that we are right, that we
will supply the medicine free in every

rectlons for reasonable length of time

DINING CAR CONDUCTOR
SHOT BY TWO ROBBERS
Eight White Men in Coach and $500

ogden, Nov. s.-One of the boldest hold
ups in Ogden in number of months was
that which occurred in the Denver &
Rio Grande yards at 3:45 O'clock, when
a dining car. containing eight men, was
entered by two masked men and, in a
fight that followed, Conductor c. G..
Eldredge was shot through the left hand.
Immediately after the shooting the rob-
beers left without booty. The injured man
was sent TO the Ogden general hospital
The officers received a fair clue and it is
thought the robbers viii be run down.

arrived on yesterday afternoons train
and was taken to the yards north of the
corner of Twenty-first street and Reeves

pared to go out on the early morning
train. The crew, which consisted of seven
white men. had beds made down in the
car, ready to leave in the morning. After

played by Ben GrinneI. was the best
acted role of the play and in one scene
of real beauty, a view of New York at
night, he almost rose to dramatic inten-
sity. The effect of this scene was lost
in the unmeaning nonsense of those that
followed. 1t is. however, only just to
credit the production with some very beau
uful scenic effects. There were five
changes in each act which called for the
elaboration of scenery for which the play
is noted.
'The Soul Kiss" is said to figure as a
vehicle to exploit the dancing of Mile
Pertina, premier danseuse, late of Paris
She was not applauded Certainly her toe
dancing is remarkable and the descriptive
dancing which has been so widely her
aided is a wonderful performance, though
no one could pretend to know what il
was all about. But it was not beautiful
and few are they who see in dancing
anything more than a graceful and ar
tistic series Of movements. Sometimes
art is so refined or so perverted that il
loses the one claim it has upon the popu-
lar taste. So it is with the dancing of
Mile. Pertina, which did not please last
nights audience.
There are twenty musical numbers. Of
these the duet. My Affinity" by Miss
Du Barry and Mr.. Fox, and MY Diabolo
Beau" by Miss Du Barry and the poodle
choruses, were best liked In the first act
In the second act I'm Glad to Get Back
to New York" by the chorus, and Those
College Yells," by Mr.. Hull and male
chorus, were the most acceptable, The
costumes were varied and many of them
really handsome. As a spectacular per-
Torrance the show is in places good and
is deliberately good. The Soul kiss will
be seen at the Salt Lake theatre during
the entire week. with Wednesday and
Saturday matinees.

(Special to Tbe Observation-Disclosures

Especial to The Herald Republican.)
Provo, Nov S.-H. c. Hicks, secretary
of the Grutli Mining company, has re-
turned from the property in Tintic. He
predicts strike in the mine in the i'm
mediate future. The shaft is down 200 feet
and from that level a drift is being run
to the northeast where the ore body is
expected to be encountered within the
next 80 days. The indications are that
the Grutli and Provo, which lay close to-
gether, will strike the same body of ore,
and that it is very similar to the Sioux
ore.
Mr.. Bestlemeyer, president of the COM
pany, says that of all the properties he
has been interested in In Tintic, the Grut-
Ii is his favOrite. A. n. Holloway is of
the opinion that the property will develop
into one OF the paying mines of the dis
