But there Is no time for rejoicing
The saloonmen must take to them
selves the lesson OF this narrow es.
cape. They must realize that unless
there Is a radical change in the liquor
traffic In Utah within the next two
years, statewide prohibition will be
inevitable. Those who would welcome
prohibition will have the last laugh.
IL some measure OF restraint Is not ap-
piled TO the liquor business. There are
too many saloons, too many dives. too
many unprincipled men in the saloon
business, and all this must be changed.
II prohibition is TO be avoided.
There are laws enough on the stat
utes and in ordinances to so regulate
the liquor trade that IT'S offensiveness
will be eliminated. but the enforce
ment Of those laws requires earnest
effort on the part of city administra-
tions, county officials and all persons
authorized to enforce the law. together
with the cooperation of the better ele-
ment OF the liquor traffic.
The saloonmen should meet and de-
eide on a clean course OF action and
the city o1lcials-of Ogden at least
should proceed to enforce to the letter
every line Of law intended to control
the liquor business.
The city administration OF Ogden
can test the merits of regulating the
saloon traffic. One imperative duty on
the part OF the city is to cease issu-
ing new licenses. iWthin the last day
two saloons have closed on Twenty
fifth street That should mean two
less liquor licenses in Ogden and the
city council will do the saloonkeepers
and the temperanceSpeople an injury
to grant new licenses To those who
would enter into these vacated places.
Ogden can get along with half the
saloons now doing business here, and
every opportunity to reduce the traf-
flc 10 that number should be eagerly
accepted by the city administration.
Saloons with records for disorderly
crowds or where crime is committed
should have their licenses revoked.
The closing hours should be made
to conform to the demands OF the law
and order clement
Two years Of such control Of the
liquor traffic, with a promise OF a
gradually increasing restriction until

An eastern correspondent notes
that John D. Rockefeller's latest gift

received, if anything, If the fine
had been upheld. The announcement
of the bequest followed the dismissal
of the case against the "Oll Trust"
by less than two weeks, which may or
may not have been coincidence.
Rockefeller's other gifts to the univer~
sity range over a period of twenty
years, the first one having been made
in January, 1889, and the last one pre-
vious to this being in January, 1909
The various installments range in size

of the largest ever made TO an educa.

gift came as a surprise in view of
the million dollars which had been re.

A report was circulated in September,

Dear Mr., Editor: After consultation

action In 80 doing Is not to prolong
the discussion. but to give the facts

On February 18th, 1908, by a COM
munication from the secretary, we
were invited by the Ogden Trades and
Labor Assembly, tn send a fraternal
delegate to that body. | was chosen

considered and dues collected from

About a month ago, Mr.. Austin Da-
Wis sent us notice Of the annual meet

notice of per capita tax as all tho af-

clear constitutional rights In the con"

Why the change? We firmly believe

stand of the delegates on moral issues.
During the discussion some declared

cause OF our attitude on prohibition
and law enforcement The question
which we. many union men and our
constituents are asking is, Does al

principles Of the American Federation

KIDNAPPING OF LITTLE WILLIE
WHlTLA.

The return OF Willie Whitla to his
parents comes as a message OF joy TO
the homes of this country. There was
not Il father or mother with a spark
OF love for children who was not in
terested In the search for the kidnapped
Willie and who did not hope for the
return of the missing boy.
The father of Willie wept when the
tot of boy was restored to his arms
and we dare say that at least the
mothers OF the country will weep with
him as they read today's story of the
safe delivery.
Without an effort at the dramatic or
the sentimental. the Associated Press
recital of the meeting of Willie and
his father is deeply impressive and
in its climax is thrilling.
The kidnapers, though they did not
mistreat the boy, should be pursued
until captured. Then they should be
made an example of as lesson to
others who would repeat their brutal
ity.
There is a lesson in this crime
which should be learned by school
teachers and boards of education.
Young children should not be dismiss
ed from school on any anonymous COM
munication and even when notes os.
tensibly signed By parents are pre-
sented an effort should be made to con-
firm the message by the use of the
telephone.
