During the few days OF sunshine
this week. many lovers Of the plscator-

by the river side, waiting for nibble,
and the fish stories these wielders of
the rod have brought to town, have de-
veloped quite n fever, which must
yield to treatment or cause the fish
and game wardens the painful duty OF
making Wholesale arrests.
Remember, you cannot fish until
June Is.

Is Accused of Using His crutch as a

Salt Lake. March 17-With his

cripple. now under arrest, was charged
today in a complaint by County At

Shorty are charged in the same
complaint with being his accomplices
in the crime. Neither Boston Joe"
nor Shorty" have been apprehended
and the police have so far been unable
to find any clue OF them.
Since Meyers was arrested consider
able circumstantial evidence has been
uncovered which weaves him into the
plot and resulted today in making
him the principal in the crime. His
crutch. which was despatched with
blood, the prosecution will attempt to
show was used TO beat Barnett TO
death. There is no question but the
motive was robbery and that the dead
mans assailants secured SO from his

FAME BETTER THAN WEALTH.

The man who was to have been ap-
pointed secretary of state, William A.
Day. would have resigned a $4,000
year position In private life to ac-
cept this public position at $4,000 a
year. He considers 1t worth at least
$4,000 a year more than the salary
to hold a high and dignified public po-
sition, to serve the whole people in
stead of a few He is ambitious for
public preferment and honor, and to
achieve some measure of fame as
diplomat and statesman. This he
prizes more than mere money! says
the Omaha Bee.
Gus example OF this sort of exchange
so men would call 1t sacrifice. AS
senator his salary was $1,000 year,
and as secretary of state 1t will be, at
present only $4,000 year, and but
$4,000 later, yet in his profession he
could no doubt easily earn 100000 a
year. and probably much more. He
would rather gain the name of a
statesman than of multi-milllonaire.
Assuming. as we no doubt may, that
these and other like men have no ul-
terror designs, but mean to give the
people true and honest service to The
very best of their ability. this sort OF
ambition Is very laudable. 1t Is in
deed an excellent species of patriot
ism. 1t is we'll for the country that
it has many such men, those of very
superior ability who regard service
of their country in high station as OF
incomparably greater value than any
amount of money.
Great riches, unless bestowed for
humanity's benefit, are but monu-
ment of crumbling dross, but the fame
oil a wise, true, devoted statesman,
who serves we'll tens Of millions OF
people, Is more enduring than granite
or marble. And this thought, idea or
principle holds good in decreasing
degree all down the line, to city
councilman.

THE UPPER CRUST.

A Boston minister in sermon
few days ago is quoted as dealing
some heavy blows to the upper
crust" OF society who sit up all night
and sleep all day; who live In hotels
and bring up dogs instead of chill
dren." 1t is perhaps popular, says
the Oklahoma Times, to denounce So
ciety nowadays and to picture with
vivid language and telling metaphor
the foibles, the vices and the near
crimes OF the multi-millionaire who
moves In exclusive circles The loud
and vulgar display of wealth with
it's offensive obstrusiyeness upon the
public attention and its bizarre situa-
tions and attitude makes one long for
the old-time quiet dignity OF genuine
refinement and culture. which are SO
lacking among those who play the
major part upon the stage of the world
today.
II is most unfortunate that those
who by reason OF the possession OF
the power that great wealth COM
mands, who occupy the most conspic
nous seats In the public attention. arc

and examples are not edifying or ele~

uTAH's BLUE LAWS.

The Utah legislators are growing
silly as the hour for ending the pres
ent session approaches. The house and
senate has passed a bill prohibiting
Sunday amusements. including skat-
ing. bathing, bicycling and transport
ing people to pleasure resorts.
This is an effort at prescribing by
law ones religious belief. Those who
are disinclined TO remember to keep
holy the Sabbath day are to be made
to observe the day.
There can be no opposition to any
movement which commands regard
for all forms of religious worship and
enforces respect for the religious
views of the orthodox, bat beyond that
no law should go.
The blue laws were not less
stringent than this measure about
to become law in Utah unless the
Governor vetoes It, One hundred years
ago people were illiberal in their re.
ligious views and the blue laws were
natural product of that illiberalism,
but today there is supposed to prevail
broader view, free from fanatical
pTomptings, yet this Sunday law is a
strong reminder OF the musty past
when Sunday was made day OF dull,
monotonous inaction
The provisions of this proposed
Utah law are so contrary to the spirit
OF the time that If the measure is en-
acted into law, the law will be dlsre-
gardei and become obsolete.
