MAXI ITEM ~ IT RAcK.

Attorney General Wickersham de-
clares he will attempt to collect from
the sugar trust every dollar that trust
is proved to have fraudulently escaped
paying at the custom house. And to
that resolution the entire nation will
say: Amen"
It seems perfectly certain the en-
ployes of the trust and the employees
Of the government can be convicted.
The mass of evidence that has been Sc
cured against them is so convincing
that there is little doubt many criminals
will have to go to prison.
That fact can not be established with
out the basic conclusion that the trust
has escaped payment Of money due the
government And since the trust is
solvent, the collection Of that withheld
cash should be by no means a difficult
problem.

COUNCILMAN HALL is
MISTAKEN,

Pardon if we suggest that Councilman
Hall made a mistake in opposing the
motion to light as many electric street
lamps as Mr.. Samuel Newhouse might
ind it proper to install in Exchange
Place and Cactus street. But there is
time to correct the error by reversing
himself at the apuncil meeting tonight.
Mr.. Newhouse bought and paid for
that land. laid out the streets, paved
and guttered them and gave them to the
citv. The property represents a large
money value. and it comes as free
gift to the whole community. And it
comes in perfect condition, too.
1t is now proposed that Mr.. Newhouse
will erect along these streets handsome
posts adapted for electric lighting; and
an he asks is that the city shall fur
uish the lights.
Mr.. Hall, usually a careful and sa-
gacious guardian of the city's interests,
took the view that such a concession
would make a bad precedent
But any time you get a man to erect
/ two eleven-stOry buildings in Salt Lake
donate two streets to the city-all paved
and guttered and ready for use-you
better break precedents, and encourage
him. At least precedents should net
stand in the way of so plain benefit
/ as this.
Of course, there are limits. Prece-
dents are good things. But the whole
/ CITY is so greatly gamer by the improve
ments in the district to be lighted, the
property valuation of the whole city has
been so greatly increased, the whole
public cause has been so advantaged
that the city can wen afford to lgh
all the lamps the owner may want tC
/ erect.
We trust Mr.. Hall and his friends may
recede from their position.

SPOKANE SPEAKS MOLLY.

1t is a. thing TO encOurage-thatm move
ment of the Spokane Chamber of Com
merce to put new energy into the coun-
try life commission, at least so far as
fl. applies to the big northwest. Con-
eress. YOU will remember, totally ig-
nored the movement, and turned a
rather broad and repellant back on the
commission that President Roosevelt
appointed, and that had secured so
much of valuable data in its journey
ings about the country.
The report of the commission, passed
without even printing by congress, is in
course Of publication by the Spokane
men, and viii be distributed throughout
the mountain region.
The subject is a very important one.
Betterment Of existence on the farm is
necessary. It is in line with the gen
eral movement of men away from the
consuming to the productive side Of life
1t is helpful to the general cause of in
creasing the area of productive land
And, because of these reasons, the re-
port of the commission should have
been printed by congress, and freely
distributed to every citizen of the re-
public who could have been induced tC
confess an interest in it.
Utah commends the action of the mel
at Spokane, and hopes to walk side-by-
side with the states Of the west il
achieving the needed reform.

Mrs. AdOlph Simon has done dis
tinct service to the community i'm call
ing attention to the many children
on the public streets at night. In her
paper. recently read before the Utah
state Congress of Mothers, Mrs. Simon
touched upon a number of topics of vital
interest. i'm connection with the question
of juvenile life, and child labor. But
i'm nothing did she raise a more i'm
portant point than in directing atten-
ton to the children who are found on
the streets at night i'm this city.
For confederation, one has but TO
traverse the thoroughfares of Salt Lake
from eight TO eleven o'clock at night. A
few boys and girls OF tender years viii
be found even after the later-named
hour. There are scores Of them before,
And this is not due to Christmas ex-
cuses. 1t is not because they are busy
by day, and in the season of hurried
shopping are compelled TO make their
purchases at night I'm far too many
cases these children are found on the
streets least freqUented by shoppers
They gravitate to the quieter places, and
yet seem unable to get away from the
glare of the lamps in the city's center
Little groups of girls whose mothers
should have them at home are too often
seen grouped late at night with boys
OF their own or greater age, laughing
chatting, idling on the corners.
Older people have a duty to perform
i'm that matter. They owe it to tn,
younger people to throw about then

women know is necessary. A thought

interest of the children at heart. il

WE DON'T BELIEVE 1T.

One Mr. NJ. Hayes described as Nas-
sistant secretary of agriculture" pub
fishes the statement that he and some
friends are going to establish a new
magazine devoted to the better breeding
of animals and plants. Which is a
thing to be commended. And then the
Hayes man is quoted as having said;
We have at least induced the public
to believe the statement that billion
dollars can be added to our plant and
animal products by scientific breeding.
Another billion can be added by bring
| ing more acres under cultivation and
adding fertilizers.
The scientific fact, however, is that
| the billion added by breeding VIII be
almost all profit, while the increase
! from more and better farming will cost
nine hundred million of dollars.
The latter part of which we don't be-
Iieve at all. If there were no more than
one hundred million dollars profit in
any billion dollars invested in farming,
| then there wouldn't be any farms. And
/ if the money invested in livestock in
| terests were all profit, Mr.. Hartman
and Mr.. Morgan and Mr.. Ryan would
! have been found in that instead of rail-
roads and insurance. companies.
The interesting thing about farming
is that money inteldgently invested re-
mains. It is added to the initial capital.
| Every dollar of improvement adds more
than a dollar to the total. And every
dollar employed in tilling and develop
ing land grows with the growth Of the
/ grain.
Stock raising needs betterment, and
it VIII pay for the labor and money in
vested in it, But it is a mistake for
any man to decry the promising posi-
bilities of agriculture.

NO HALFWAY MEASURES.

There is no fear of the United States
government taking any halfway meas
ures in the matter of settling the diff
fculty in Nicaragua. If marines are
landed with the order to assist the in
surgent army in defending its position
it must be because the administration at
Washington is perfectly assured of the
backing Of congress even to the extent
Of removing Zelaya. and presiding at
the establishment of another ruler.
And that step means the assuming of
directory powers over the little Central
American state. This is a departure for
our nation, and can be warranted only
by grim and urgent necessity. Some
thing of the kind occurred i'm the case
of Cuba. There was a precedent, and
its following viii make an end of the
Zelaya tyranny, and mark the begin
ming of "A better day for the people OF
his country.
The only mistake involved in the case
of a protectorate for cuba was that the
strong arm of the United States was
withdrawn 1t would have been better
for the Cubans. for the Americans, and
for the entire world, if that protectorate
had been continued until such time as
Cuba could have been made a part of
the United States. But whatever mis-
take may have existed i'm that case is
excused because of the pledge this coun-
try made before the beginning of the
war with Spain.

wHAr wAs - GOOD "a IT

Eighteen young men, at Madison
Square Garden last Saturday night
completed the difficult task of riding
more than twenty-six hundred miles in
six DAYS on a circular track. One team
rode twenty-six hundred and sixty
miles. Throughout the week. day and
night. they have been watched by
crowds Of interested people-people who
became franticany excited in their in
interest whenever there was an attempt
of any rider to push the pace a little.
1t is all considered a wonderful thing,
and the winners of the match will have
plenty of money-for a day or two.
But what is the good of it all? Where
has one of these riders added a farthing
TO the value of himself, or helped any
one of the millions of his countrymen?
He has proved the possession of great
stamina. and that is all. But he GER
tainIv doesn't seem to have made much
use of it.
There is some profit in Weston's walk
across the continent 1t was so dis
dnctIy a healthful employment that
countless numbers have taken up
walking habit because of his example
There has been a better appreciation
of the open air, a better understanding
of the value of walking as an exercise
and an extension of life and strength
to men of mature years who have
found that if Weston can keep strong
by walking, so can they.
But there is no health in the slX-day
ride on a circular bicycle track IN an
linclosed garden. These riders have sim
ply bent their heads to the handleoars
of their machines, and plugged along
blindly. without one human or healthy
thought or hope or sentiment TO the
limit of the time they were contracted
to fin. And when they quit, the Whole
incident is closed. Neither they nor any
! one else is better for it.
The six-day bicycle race is the last
expression of foolish physical exercise.

number of cash registers along Market
street, and didn't go home enough to
give the police a chance to catch him.
Also. he very inconsiderately neglected
from day to day to tell the police what
his hourly schedule was going to be.
We'll, our police are not that bad, any
way. In the light of what is doing in
san Francisco, things might be worse.
Of course, they are bad enough, and
we are going to nope that they will be
better-even without that argument
which Robinson CrusOe used. If the
force here were as bad as possible, there
would be a certainty of Improvement
since this is a world of changes. But
we look for better work on the part OF
the department, even before it sinks to
the efficiency level Of San Francisco.

EARN SCHOOL AT NEPHL.

an address on Wednesday, as viii Sec

that school, and discoveries Of the great

there. But a good many people can

most accomplished men and women
from the college go over the state, and

RuT IT MIeHT RE MORSE

Robinson Crusoe, you win remember,
gathered encouragement from the fact
that he was just as miserable and un-
fortunate as was possible; and that
since this world is a world of mutations,
he was bound presently to be happier
Salt Lakes police are not so ineffi-
cient. at least, as those Of San Fran
cisco. In that devoted coast town a
robber gentleman cleaned up a drug
store on the. evening Of November TWEEN
ty-seven. Last Saturday night he
walked into the very same store and
robbed it again.
He had consumed most of the inter

who goes with a purpose to be benefited

rest of his life. That is certain.
In time it is to be hoped that these
schools can be held in every county of
the state: and we are sure, when the
value of them is understood every
