increase of crime is due In large meas
ure to this last fact. In order TO make
~this impression more clear, the record
of the present governor Of Tennessee
may be put IN evidence. During his
term in office Governor Patterson has
pardoned nearly one thousand crimi-
mails of high and low degree, and nearly
two hundred of the desperadoes turned
loose upon the community were muir
derers. With such leniency shown. men
who have taken human life upon one
pretext or another, it lie perfectly nat
ural others with homfcidal tendencies
should go forth and slay and take their
chances.
There have been a number Of brutai
murders in the United States so far
this year. but not anything like fair
proportion of the 5000 predicted by
President White as bound to occur be-
fore the first day Of January. 1911 Some
of them have taken place in Salt Lake,
and other lives may be taken by thugs
during the coming months. It is high
time the iron heel of the law descended
upon murderers as we'll as all other
malefactors.

UTAH WELL SATISFIED.

Henry S. Pritehett, president of the
Carnegie Foundation has returned to
New York from a tour of the western
universities and colleges to investigate
whether they are entitled to participate
In the benefits Of the great fund which
Mr.. Carnegie has set aside. Mr.. Prit
chett visited Salt Lake during his alb
sencs and looked over the University
of Utah. Now that Mr.. Pritchett has
returned TO New York, he gives out an
interview to the effect that he has
found only two which comes up to the
standard that the foundation requires
TO participate In the benefits. These
two institutions Of learning are the Uni
versity Of California and the University
OF Colorado. Mr.. Pritchett discreetly
told the New York reporter that he
would not name those which he had
decided should not participate. Inas-
much as It is common knowledge just
what institutions he visited, and as he
has named the fortunate ones, President
Pritchett's discretion in this instance
s more apparent than real.
1t is not known whether the Univer-
sity of Utah is excluded until the board
of trustees of the Carnegie Foundation
has its meeting and announces its de-
cision. After all, it is the board of
trustees and not Mr.. Pritchett, who will
decide upon the western schools that
shall participate in the Carnegie FOun-
dation benefits. But If 1t shall be de-
cided that the University of Utah is not
mourn. Here in Utah we know some
thing ourselves of the excellencies of
the University OF Utah. The splendid
education 1t is giving the youth of the
entire educational system OF this west
ern country is known here if it is not
quite clear to Mr.. Pritchett, and it Is
barely possible that there are many
things the investigating educator could
not learn In the short time he spent IN
Salt Lake.
The people Of Utah will not be dis
posed to accept as final the verdict OF
an eastern educator upon the University
Of Utah. There are many conditions
attached to the Carnegie Foundation
Excellence of a particular institution
as a school does not enter into the final
determination. Whatever the verdict
may be. the grade of work done at the
University of Utah does not enter into
the question. And Utah will be able
to take care Of her own in the future as
she has in the past

NIGHT RIDERS FINED.

Eight Kentucky farmers have been
found guilty of conspiracy in restraint
of trade and fined By the district judge
before whom they were tried. The
Conspiracy consisted of burning
barns. tobacco warehouses and dwell
ings, and horsewhipping neighbors who
did not belong to the Burnley society
and insisted upon marketing their crops
on their own hook. Almost every crime
In the catalogue has been committed
by the Kentucky night riders during the
past year. They have not hesitated
to take human life IN order to enforce
their demands. Now eight of them
have been fined from 500 to 81. 900 for
conspiracy In restraint of trade In the
federal court. The Kentucky authori-
ties failed to protect their own citizens
and prosecute these men for arson, as
sauft, murder and the other crimes OF
which they were guilty, SO Uncle Sam
was compelled to step in and bring them
to trial under the Sherman law. One of
the convicted men being a minister Of
the gospel, it is presumed he received
the minimum fine of 500, thus showing
the respect OF the court for the cloth.

FIRST AMERICAN SCHOOL.

On the I'd of April, 1885, the founda-
tons of the present free school system
In the United States were laid by the
establishment of the Boston Latin
school, which has been a famous insti-
tuition of learning from the beginning
of its existence. The event is to be
celebrated in the Hub" this year, and
the occasion is worthy OF more than
passing mention. The schools OF this
country at the present time are the
wonder and admiration Of the world.
Every known aid to learning is en-
pioyed in the instruction of the Ameri-
can youth, and there are no burdens
placed upon the parents on account of
poverty.
Tive hundred and seventy-five years
ago the Puritan pilgrims were strug-
Cling for bare existence in the land to
which they had fled to escape oppres-
sion on account of their desire to wor-
ship God after a manner seeming good
to them. One of the very first things
they did was to provide for the educa-
ton Of their children. During colonial
times that idea was ever uppermost,
and the same spirit prevails today. The
schoolmaster has ever been abroad I'm
this land. Harvard college was estab-
lished soon after the Boston Latin
school. and preparations made for a
system of education which included all
the knowledge of the time. The number
and excellence of the universities of
the United States at the present time
attest the fact that In this respect also
the example set in the early colonial
times has been faithfully followed.
The Boston Latin school, whose 275th
anniversary is to be observed on April
I'D Of the present year, sent forth many
noted men to engage In the battle of

DR.. WHITES PREDICTION.

The president Of Cornell university,
Andrew D. White. is credited with MAX
ing the gruesome prediction that at
least 5000 persons will be murdered in
the United States during the year 1910.
That is the personal belief of President
White and not a conclusion that may
be accepted as a fact without any men
tai reservations. 1t may or may not
prove true. That there are entirely too
many homieides in this country goes
without saying. There are also too
many murderers who escape their just
deserts at the hands of the law. The

The Roller Towel,

They have cut their Whiskers out in
Kansas and put colytic shower baths into
their houses; they have ceased wearing
their boots to bed and have made the
public drinking cup a felon, but still
their passion for militant baeteriology
remains insatiate. Its latest victim Is the
relic towel-that dropping but romantic
relic of simpler days and Drawer men,
Kansas calls the roller towel pathogenic,
and sees in its mysterious folds the Gar
den OF Eden of all germs. 1t is the father
and mother, says Kansas, of eczema, OPP
thalmia and dandruff It abrades and in
oculates the human hide. 1t spreads pes
tilences and offends the eye. II is i'm
mortal and, being immortal, Kansas has
made IL illegal
A triumph for asepsis, but a waterloo
for romance. Who will forget the noble
uses of the roller towel In other and hap
pier years? 1t was an essential orna-
ment, an integral part, of all ancient
inns, taVerns and Ordinaries; it adorned
all old-time printing offices; it was
learned counsel in country towns. The
passing of travel from his boots. the
dust of the road from his face; It had its
regular customers, it's loving clients, its
devotees. That was before the day of
shoeshining parlOTs, Turkish baths and
other such degenerating luxuries. The
roller towel served all purifying pur-
poses. 1t was the one cleansing angel of
a fTOwsy world.
Eugene Field and Bill Nye were full of
anecdotes of famous roller towels. Field
used to tell of one in printing office IN
Chicago which grew so hard with ink
and silicates that it gave out a musical
note. Nye claimed for one that he loved
that it had been used by printer of his
acquaintance to stab a copychcpper.
Mark Twain, in his palmy days, had sim
liar tales to tell.
But enough Of all that. The roller
towel is done for. Printers now mop
their brows with aeceptic gauze; even
lawyers fear bacteria In few years,
perhaps, the roller towels will be rare
by lOafers and hOneymooners In muse
Ums. People will speak Of it as they
speak today of the rabbit foot, camomiie
tea, the pulse-Warmer, medicated lingerie,
the haireloth sofa, populism, and all the
other dear things that were, but are not

No wonder the rank and file OF the Rs
publican party should unsparinsIy criti-
else these small-bore statesmen who
have no thought or care save for their
own individual profit and advancement.
1t is now the middle of April and
first OF December. Some OF the appro-
priation bills remain to be sanctioned
and all of the administration measures.
The Washington correspondents are
fail owing to the fact that the members
of both houses desire to cut the session
short In order TO begin their campaign
for reelection as sooh as possible. This
is net true statement Of the facts in
the case. If the railroad bill. the coz
servation measures OF any Of the eihers
fail of passage, 1t will be because the
insurgents In the Senate and House will
not allow them to become laws. Their
actions since the beginning of the pres
ent session is ample proof of that fact.
Such being the case, any failure in
this respect is chargeable to the insur-
gents and the insurg ants alone. The
Democrats. while doing their best II
hamper legislation. cannot defeat these
bills without the active aij and CO.
operation Of these ceatral west insur-
gents who claim TO be Republicans. Let
the blame be placed whers it bclorgs If
the prediction Of the Washington cor
respondents as TO the failure OF the ad-
ministration measures proves true.
There is yet time for the insurgents
TO atone for some of their mis- leeds by
getting IN line with President Taft. II
they tail to take advantage III this last
opportunity, the shaIns and disgrace
be upon their own heads, no possible
blame can attach to the Republican
party,
