PLENTY MEN
IN WEST NOW

On account of a great deal of rail-
road construction and repair work
being done and contemplated in
northern Colorado and in Utah il was
feared there might be scarcity of
laborers when the summer season
opens up. railroad man in this
city from Denver stated yesterday
that labor agencies in Kansas City
and in Denver have been of late send
ing as many as 100 laborcrs IA day to
points in northern Colorado alone.
Denver ~ Rio Grandc officials state
that their road will need many extra
men as soon as the weather has defi-
nitely settled for work on branch and
main line improvements, some of
which are To be made along the Utah
division. and moHe men will also be
needed soon on Western Pacific con-
struction work.
To anticipate these needs an agree
mcnt was entered into between the
several systems that will need labor
ers and that need them now to put
in force extra low rate party tickets
between st. Louis and common points
in Colorado and Utah. These rates
went into effect the middle of last
week. Since that tine large NUM-
ber of laborers have travelled west.

MAY EFFECT DRY LAWS
IN SOUTHERN STATES
Sensational Decision Handed Down
Wednesday by II Federal Court
Regarding Liquor Ship
mpnts.
Especial to The sentinel. ]

Richmond. Va. March 19.-In an
opinion handed down Wednesday in
the United States circuit court of
appeals for the Fourth circuit court
holds that licensed liquor dealer
has the right under the law to ship
whiskey by express c. o. d. into dry
territory, provided he has n bona fide
order for the delivery and the sale
is bona fide sale.
The opinion. which, If it stands,
means the practical annihilation of
prohibition in strict sense, is an
exhaustive one, citing many prece-
dents. 1t was written by District
Judge Boyd and concurred in by
Judge Goff.
The decision of Judge Dayton of
the Northern district of West Vir-
ginia is reversed. Circuit Judge
Pritchard dissents from the finding
of the majority of the court and files
a written opinion of dissent
The case is one of immense i'm
portance in the South. many states of
which are totally or partially dry. and
where questions of a similar nature
are always arising.
Charles II. Jones and j IL. Hick-
man, licensed liquor dealers in
Clarksburg, w. Va, were indicted on
a charge of carrying on the business
of retail liquor dealers without pay
ment of the special internal revenue
tax required by law. Jones was tried
separately on this Indictment in the
United States court for the Northern
district of West Virginia. at Clarks-
burg. at the October term. 1908, he
was convicted by the jury and SEN
fenced by the court to serve 80 days
in prison. Jones thereupon appealed
to the United States circuit court OF
appeals, where the trial court is re-
versed.

NEWSPAPER HAS A RIGHT
TO CRITICISE SUCH MEN

\ few days ago Justice William j.
Gaynor, of the New York supreme
court. delivered an address at the
laying OF the corner stone of the new
building of the New York Press Club.
He spoke upon behalf OF The freedom
of the press. He said in part:
ITO exercise this privilege of crit
icism is not only the right of the
newspaper, but its chief duty and
office rs we'll. This is the country's
highest safeguard against corruption
and wrongdoing.
by criticism, of course, l do not
mean abuse. To he abusive, rough or
unfair, is justly regarded by all good
newspaper men as unethical and inn
proper.
"One of the modern newspapers
greatest services should be the show
ing up of the demngogue and the
loose preacher of evil, whose promis-
cuous denunciation of all successful
business interests has done much 10
handicap the country.
"Journalism has come To be one
of the five learned professions,
ranking in dignity and power for
good with the law. medicine, the
ministry and teaching"

Attention. Beet Growers !

We wish to announce that we have
Just received five carloads of beet
0eed direct from Germany and it is
now ready for distribution to our
growers. If YOU have already signed
a contract. come TO the factory at any
time and get your seed. If you have
not signed a contract, We would be
glad to have you come to the factory
sign contract, and get your seed at
the same time.
Many of our growers are plowing
their best land now and some Will
begin planting in few days. II is a
good thing to remember that early
planting under favorable conditions
always brings the best tonnage.

1t is now claimed that from 50 to
90 per cent of the Utah wool clip has
been contracted for at prices in ad-
vance of last seasons figures of 80
to 80 per cent. So that wool that
sold for ten cents last year brings
fifteen cents this year. and 190S's
fifteen cent wool brings all the way
up to twenty cents. Some growers
have, in fact, sold out at such figures
that they will forfeit their cent a
pound. according to their warehouse
agreement. instead of supplying their
quota to the warehouse plan. 1t Is
claimed there is no possibility of
the market being over supplied. Most
of the wool left in Utah is in the
northern section of the state.-Price

TRUNKS TOO FLTMSY
Mr.. sToGGLEToN THINKS HE
HAS KICK COMING.
Many Things Happened in Short
Time to Receptacle with Which
He Was Traveling-Not
What They Were.

Tn the garnet Of the old house Dacl
home, said Mr.. Stoggleton, 4 used Il
see old hair-covered trunks that
think must have been scores Of years
| don't know but what centuries, old;
trunks that looked as II they'd never
wear gut and never could be worn out
and 1 guess are there still il the
moths haven't eaten them up, and ii
seems to me as If all trunks were
made stronger in those days than they
are in the present advanced era. Those
old trunks all used to seem rockbound
as II nothing could break them, where
as the trunks Of now, or some Of them
anyway, must be handled pretty gin
gerly If you want to get through with
them.
you take that last trunk l bought
It looked solid and massive; great
heavy bulging metallic corners on II
and no end Of clamps and thick
straps, It looked as IL a giant might
throw 1t down from a mountain anc
not do it any harm; but in the course
Of three trips one Of the handles pulled
on, those massive corner pieces turned
out TO be stamped tin and the CLAMPS
q TiIe same material, and one strau
broke and the buckle OF the other
pulled on and the bottom OF the trunk
was split and the cleats inside the
trunk spread so far apart that they
let the tray fall through to the bot
tom and generally the trunk got SC
wabbly and rickety that the next time
the baggage man came for 1t he said
10 me as he ended it up SO, that he
could get hold Of the sole remaining
handle:
You know It really amt safe foI
The trunk to travel. don't YOU?
But ne put a brand new heavy
solid strap around It and buckled II
up tight and the trunk went through
without falling apart, and now we're
going TO have a trunk doctor come
n and give US an estimate on the cost
of repairs, that is, as far as it can be
repaired, for 1t never was and II
couldn't be made solid trunk. Il
was originally pretty good locker
but It had no constitution.
Now, you know, you can't charge
ali that damage up to the baggage
men; It was originally a fiimsy trunk
You say we travel more now thar
hey used to? Yes, know that, and /
know that we can't expect a trunl
