The Yale expositor. (Yale, St. Clair County, Mich.) 1894-current, 1910-04-01

In 1880, when Leonard was a stalwart ouick
witted youth of 20 years. the Wood family de-
bated whether he should enter Harvard univer.
sity. That was the very time when Theodore
Roosevelt was graduated from Harvard The iron
musced young Yankee. who was already
notable cross-country runner, wanted to enter the
army or navy The spirit of adventure was strong
in him But the wishes of his sober old father pre-
vailed, and, having obtained a scholarship he
entered the Harvard Medical school.
In the third year after he entered the study of
medicine he won in a competitive examination
for service In the city hospital of Boston After
IS months In this position he had a row with the
hospital superintendent and resigned Then he
served in the North End dispensary of Boston
In following the story of this singular man It
is interesting TO know that although he followed
his fathers wishes by entering a medical school,
he there became the chum of a of an army
captain. and while studying medicine. he actually
began to prepare himself for a military career by
reading military science, and in every way pos.
sbe sought to fit himself for the army entrance
examinations.
After leaving the Boston dispensary the young
doctor went into general practice In that city.
In 1885 the young Boston doctor who was des
tined TO become the senior general of the United
States army went to New York and passed the
army examinations for military surgeons, stand
ing second among the competitors.
There was no vacancy for him. but presently
he got letter from the surgeon general at Wash
ington, offering him a contract clvlias sur.
geon with the army, at hundred dollars month
with free quarters and rations and forage for his
horse.
AS the letter suggested service in the west the
doctor joyfully accepted the contract and, under
orders. went to join Gen. Crook at Fort Huachuca

EATING GOAT MEAT.

find 1t palatable as well as nourishing.

Probably 1t wasn't so. At the present

A WORTHY CAUSE.

The work Of the Salt Lake Charity
association is worthy OF special com
mendation. Too often in the hurry and
hustle of life when each individual is
striving to carve out fortune, the de-
serving poor, those who have met with
misfortune and are left in want and
misery, are neglected. Not entirely be-
cause the more fortunate ones are not
willing to aid the distressed, but be-
cause their attention is not called TO
the matter Generally speaking, the
percentage of those who are not able
to care for themselves in Salt Lake is
very small, and the calls made upon
those who are able to give are not SO
extensive as to embarrass them finan-
cialiy. They would doubtless respond
even more literally should occasion
arise. The Salt Lake Charity associa-
ton is doing a noble work and follow

WHY UTAH is REPUBLICAN.

For several years past Utah has in
variably been found in the Republican
column when the votes were totalied
on the night of election. The reason
Is not hard to find. Utah is a large
producer of wool and lead. Under the
Republican principle of protection, these
Industries have prospered nightly. and
viii continue to prosper so long as the
present tariff system prevails. That
is one reason. Another one is the fact
that the whole country is prosperous
under Republican rule. and that pros
perity extends TO the most remote cor
ners of the land. That Utah is getting
its full share is evidenced by the great
advance in real estate prices in Salt
Lake and the large amount of money
being invested in towering structures
of all kinds. A third reason is the fact
that the Republican party has always
been a party OF progress. 1t is a party
that builds up instead of tearing down:
q party with a definite policy and
brains enough to carry that policy into
effect; party that passes laws for the
benefit Of the people as a whole, instead
OF employing its time in trying to array
section against section and making

USE The HOME PRODUCT.

Salt Lake is spending many thou
sands Of dollars in the paving of streets,
clizens owning property along the
thoroughfares being paved putting up
their share cheerfully. Very few COM
plants have been registered on account
of the expense attached to these public
improvements. Vigorous complaints
are heard, however, regarding the i'm
portation of asphalt from California
when 1t can be had right here in Utah
at a much less price. This question has
arisen before, and by some system Of
been induced to forego their demand
for the Utah asphalt. This time Wig
orous effort will be made to have the
home product used. George T. Odell
has called the attention of the mayor
to the matter, and that official has sent
the letter of Mr.. Odeu TO the city coun-
ell with note from himself asking
that the question be given full and COM
plete consideration.
1t is up to the city council to say
whether Contractor Moran shall con-
tinue to import high-priced asphalt or
buy equally as good material at home
for less money. There is no doubt as
TO what the city council should do in
the premises. What action they finally
take is another matter. The property
owners have some voice In the matter,
and a united protest should be made
against ths use of the California as
phalt. The Rev. Elmer I. Goshen
brought Contractor Moran to time sim
gle-handed and alone when East First
South street was being paved. Mr..
Moran put the public to great incon-
venience by leaving a strip on one side
of the street in front of the Congrega-
tional church unpaved for many
months, being finally compelled to use
the Utah asphalt In the work as de-
manded by Rev. Goshen in the first
place. The example set by the pastor
should be generally followed in case the
city authorities do not act promptly.
OF course 1t would be much better If
the council would give the necessary
order, but perhaps that is too much to
expect unless public sentiment is too
strong TO be safely resisted. If the cry
of ''patronize home industry" is loud
enough. It VIII be heard It is certainly
worth trying.

A WAVE OF CRIME.

Other cities besides Salt Lake are SUI
fering from the depredations of the
criminal classes and pretty much the
same story is told, houses looted, citi-
zens held up IN the streets and men shot
down in their tracks without provoca-
ton. Conditions are so bad at Indian
apolis that the News is moved TO ex-
claim:
We are having a positive epidemic of
burglary. The work of the burglars is
growing more daring and the ''swag''-
IN compensation, of course-is of greater
value. What the police are doing about ii
only the police know; but what they are
not doing about il everybody knows
they are not capturing the burglars. Off
GERS on bicycles and in automobiles answer
the frantic call of the citizen who has
been robbed, but almost invariably the Of
fetal report is that no clew of the ma
RAIDERS could be found. But burglars have
been caught heretofore and burglars can
be caught again. 1t is the business of the
police to catch burglars and stop burg
larry. They know how to catch them or
should know how. 1t is high time that
effective use were made of their knoWl-
edge.
Sure enough, it is up to the police

The escape of those who commit them
is also too common. Some of them are
captured and are then released upon
trial. This is particularly true of those
who commit murder. The Louisville
Courier-Journal gives the following ac-
count of the acquittal of a man who
had deliberately slain a fellow citizen:
In Louisville a man is put upon trial for
his life. It is admitted by the defense
that he bought a pistol and cartridges,
waited for a man near the latter's place
of business and shot him to death, but
the defense asserts that the slayer was
temporarily insane" and introduces the
ubiquitous expert witness TO prove that he
must have been temporarily insane" else
he would not have imperiled his life by
taking that of his neighbor. The jury
returns a verdict of not guilty."
1t is estimated that 81 per cent of the
murderers tried in the United States
are acquitted, leaving but per cent

SAMPLE OF ANARcHIsM.

The dynamiting of the Utah hotel
for the second time since the work Of
construction began cannot be passed
over in silence or lightly considered. In
the heat of passion men sometimes take
human life, and excuses are found for
them. No excuse can be offered for
the coward who sneaks along under the
cover of darkness and touches off a
dynamite bomb. 1t Is the most das-
petrated. The man who was guilty of
the outrage early Monday morning did
not know whether or not his act would
bring death to innocent passers-by.
Evidently he did not care. That only
material damage, which can be meas
ured. in dollars and cents, was done,
does not palliate his offense or lessen
the feeling of horror and indignation
aroused in this community.
For many years past the anarchists,
nlhilists and various revolutionary sec
tons in Europe have startled the world
with a series of foul crimes of this
nature. More recently the gang of ter
rorists supposed to have their head
quarters at Paterson, N. J., introduced
this method of warfare into the United
States, hitherto unknown save the sin
gle instance of the Haymarket riot in
Chicago, for which the perpetrators
paid with their lives. During the strike
of the carmen in Philadelphia dynamite

streets. II has been used in other cities.
In Chicago. for instance, there have
been thirty-four bomb outrages during
the past year, and the criminals who
used the explosives have not been ap-
pretended.
Now, a second crime of this nature
has been perpetrated in Salt Lake. This
peaceful city has been invaded by the
most desperate and hardened of all
violators of the law. A magnificent
over one million dollars, has suffered
great damage. and adjacent buildings
also bear marks which testify to the
great force of this last explosion. There
is but one thing to be done. Hunt down
these murderers and cowardly dyna-
miters and bring them to the bar of
Justice. There is no room for miscre-
ants of their class in Salt Lake. The
people here are not accustomed to old
world methods of inspiring terror or
wreaking vengeance.
Rewards have been offered for the
apprehension Of the men guilty Of this |
latest case of dynamiting. The state |
offers $500, the county commissioners
$500, the hotel company 81, 900 and the |
structural iron workers union $500 |
$500 in all. The public approves of the |
action taken by all four. Now let every |
good citizen turn in and help find the |
miscreants. The good name of the city /
is at stake, and the lives of men, women |
and children in danger so long as the |
dynamiters remain at large. Hunt |
them down.

promises which are impossible of full
fillment.
Utah Is Republican because its citi-
Gems have no desire to turn the country
over to the tender mercies of the free
traders. They had their lesson during
the second Cleveland administration,
when the Democrats. being in possess
sion of all three legislative branches of
the government, tinkered with the
tariff. The result was that even the
stomach of Cleveland revolted, although
he allowed the bill to become a law
without his signature after denomi-
mating it an ''act of perfidy and dis
honor" All of the Industries of the
country were paraIyzed. Wool having
been placed on the free list, that indus
try was perhaps the greatest sufferer
OF them all. The people Of Utah re-
member these things and do not care
to encounter another series of disas-
tiers such as followed in the wake of the
last Democratic triumph. Those who
are in full possession of their mental
faculties do not, at any rate.
To turn the Republican party out of
power would mean another revision of
the tariff, with free wool and free lead,
and another period of financial disas-
ter and depression, period of low
wages and little business. The voters
Of Utah are not going to help bring
about any such catastrophe, not in this
year of our Lord. A Democratic adj
ministration once in a lifetime is suf-
ncient. Such an administration they
have endured. so no more foolishness
