BRITISH JUSTICE.

A valued reader of The Herald-Re-
publican who has been reading the
warning to parents in connection with
the enforcement of the curfew ordi-
nance, sends in a short note and an
account OF the case of a 12-year-oId
boy, first offender, who was sent to a
reformatory for seven years by an
English Judge for stealing a lump of
coal worth 10 cents. In addition the
lad was sentenced to receive six
strokes with a birch rod

parents, knew that he would be called
upon to purchase a sack of coal, they
buy it in small quantities in Londonk
and stole the lump for which he was
sentenced the night before he expect
ed to be sent TO the coal yard. He
made a full and free confession to the
court, but no mercy was shown.
Seven years for stealing 10 cents
worth of coal is an unduly severe SEN
tence. No judge in the United States

would be SO herd-hearted a. to impose
such punishment, even II the law al
lowed It, which. happily. Il does not.
The idea OF The Herald Republican
reader was TO call attention to the fact
that parents cannot always nave their
children from the clutches Of the law,
and that the safe plan is to avoid
transgressins- The parents OF the lit
tie English boy were not responsible
for his act even though they werel
benefited to the extent of 10 cents
worth Of coal.

VETERANS MEET IN SALT LAKE

The old veterans, the remnant of
that band of heroes who -shouldered
their muskets fifty years ago, will
meet in Salt Lake on June II. In the
years that have passed sinnce the
civil war closed, the young men and
women who have come upon the scene
of action have witnessed many of
these encampn1e without realizing
TO any considerable extent the full i'm
port of the gatherings.
Last year the survivors OF the great
conflict from all over the country
gathered in Salt Lake and marched
down the streets. Was there ever a
more inspiring sight? Never in the
history of the city.
Yet the heroes from abroad are not
entitled to all the credit We have
numbers of them right here in Utah,
and when they assemble next month
let US give them the honor and glory
to which they are justly entitled. In
very few years the last one Of them
will have answered the final roll call
Then the Grand Army of the Republic
will be but a memory. While they are
still with US, let us not be wanting IN

procedure wrong. Tt is to be regret

stands, they have been indicted in
New Jersey and have escaped trial
upon a technicality.
Some years ago Haywood. Meyer

residents of Colorado at the time. The

but aided in the deportation OF the ac-
cused before a writ of habeas corpus
could be issued. The labor leaders
appealed to the United States supreme
court IN vain. There was no relief un-
der the law.
Now that practically the same
question has arisen and the defend

Expectoration in the public streets
OF Buffalo might cost s25. They have
a stringent ordinance in that town and
the police authorities are constantly
on the lookout for offenders Many
other cities have laws against this
filthy habit, but they are not enforced.
Salt Lake is among the number.
According to statistics in the SUBJ
Ject, 100000 people OF the United
States are specifically forbidden by
law to expectorate in public. During
the year 1909 only s,491 arrests were
made for violation of these laws, and
of those arrested only 2,912 were con-

MAKING UP LAST.

Philadelphia is one OF the great
Fcities OF the United States, Of the
world, in fact. Yet It is overshadowed
Chicago that few people even in the
United States realize its Importance.
The good people Of the City OF Broth
erly Love have started publicity
campaign with the object OF spread
ing their glories abroad. From the
first bulletin it is learned that the
present city has an area Of 12e.5s
square miles, with a population Of
1.515,0o0 and with 345, 5ss buildings,
of which 314.599 are dwellings.
Philadelphia is rich historically. 1t
was there the Continental Congress as
sembled and declared that these colo
nies are, and as a matter of right
ought to be, free and independent" or
words to that effect. II was in Phila-
delphia that the foundation stones Of
the republic were laid. 1t was there
the commission OF Washington was
dated. Philadelphia outranks even
Boston as a center OF colonial opposa-
'tion to the mother country, yet it is
scarcely ever considered as being IN
the front rank in these twentieth CEN
tIiry days.
1T is matter of common report
that the people lack enterprise, that
1t is a slow town. Possibly that IS true
TO some degree, yet Philadelphia is
; the greatest manufacturing city in the
country, and one of the greatest in
the world. Perhaps We shall hear
more about it now that the eSns-
paign of publicity has begun.
As regards the history of the town
st might be said that it was granted
charter by william Penn in 1880.
William Penn, owing to his close con-
nection with the government of Eng
land, had obtained an enormous land
grant. the details of which are familiar
enough to students of American his
tory. Philadelphia was one Of his
creations, and is really his monument
At the time Penn founded the city,
Philadelphia had an area Of two
square miles and a population Of 400.
II is stated That 90 houses were erect
ed during the first year under the new
order Of things. and that Philadelphia
enjoyed its first and only boom at that
time
Philadelphia, however, has grown
constantly ever since its birth. and at
the present time ranks next to New
York in the order Of Importance from
a business standpoint. All the people
lacked was advertisement, and that
Vault is being remedied. All live towns
are being advertised these days, and
Philadelphia declines beng considered
