SALOON IN POLITICS SHOULD BE SUPPRESSED

plans that will aid the council in any reform
measure that is practicable that may be
adopted.
All licenses will expire December 81, and,
as there are but few weeks for action, there
must not be any delay.
Under the decision of the supreme court Of
Utah Council is not obliged to grant any
licenses nor to assign any reason for refusing
to do so. However, if specific charge can
be made against offenders, that charge should
be filed i'm such manner that it can be acted
upon.

conducive to good morals, but to clean politics

It will not be necessary in dealing with
question of this kind to confnc, OF, in fact, to
intrust the investigation wholly to the police or
license committee. The committee should be
appointed regardless of the membership OF the
standing committees. 1t should not contain the
name of any man who is interested directly or
indirectly in the liquor business. And when
such a committee has been appointed, II should

That the saloon in politics is menace to soci-
city was again demonstrated in Tuesday cleo
ton in Salt Lake City That it will continue to
be menace until the number of saloons is
duced to forty or fifty and license granted
contingent on the saloonEeeper and his
ployees refraining from participating actively
in political campaigns.
When one party or another can by coercion
or by Offering special inducements, compel or
persuade liquor dealers to band themselves into
an organization for the purpose of holding the
balance of power in political contests the inter
ests of society and good government are jeop-
ardized.
There is no class of men, generally speaking,
who are so devoid of party principle the
average Of those who engage in the liquor
traffic There some striking exceptions to
this rule because it is not true that every liquor
dealer is without political principle. There
a number Of men in Salt Lake City who con-
duct their businesses III fair and legitimate
way, who are as strong partlsans can be
found in any business or professional pursuits.
They will not be driven or coerced into att
tude ntagonstic to their views of what is right
or into stand contrary to their idea of what
is best for their favorite party. Such men
ought to be encouraged in their independence
aud in their strength Of character in resisting
the onslaughts Of disreputable politicians.
But the rule is that the average saloon man
and his satellites will change his political con-
victions if he ever had any, with AS great
celebrity as the average man will change his
shirt They care nothing for the things which
most men and women hold dear. And this ele-
&c hat brip H.
csm on the business Of liquor selling.
The American party is charged with good ad-
ministration in Salt Lake City. It has great
problem confronting it in dealing with the e
tail liquor question, and that problem should
be met as promptly as definite plan can be

adopted looking to a sensible carrying out of a
policy to meet the needs of the times.
There ought to be not more than one license
granted for every 2000 population. There are
now 1876 saloons in Salt Lake City Fully fifty
per cent of this number have no excuse Tor
their existence. They deadfallS and men
aces to society. Twenty-Five or thirty more
licenses are in the hands of men who
scienceless and wholly unworthy of conduct
ing a business of this kind. They INSIST on
having various kinds of gambling in their places
of business. and they will serve any one with
drinks, from youth to whose brain is
already crazed with Intoxicating liquors.
Such AS these are especial tools Of disrcpu-
table agents Of the Smoot political machine
Not one of these should be granted an extep-
sion Of their license And, if in the general
summing up, forty or fifty reputable liquor
dealers cannot be found who can show clean
bill Of health, freeing them from violations Of
the ordinances and pcrnicious activity in poll
ties, then such as can do this should be granted
a license and other good men who would like
to engage in the retail liquor business should
be favored until the quota OF forty or fifty
shall have been reached
Council should act promptly on this matter,
and appoint an investigating committee to in
quire into local conditions. This committee
should notify the good people of the city to ap-
pear before it with protest against any saloon
man who is believed to be untitled for the bust
ness And while this committee is organizing,
the good citizens of Salt Lake City and the
reputable liquor dealers should also organize

BRIDGE BURNS:
CAUSES DELAY
ON RAILROAD

Brush and grass fires Saturday
did much damage in the northern
part Of this state The loss is esti-
mated in excess of 100000, and
railroad service on the Pennsylvania
line between this city and Railway
was seriously hampered. Late Sat
urday afternoon a bridge carrying a
roadway across the Pennsylvania
tracks near Avenel, was burned,
with the result that railroad traffic
on the local division was stopped
temporarily.
This fire, like the others, started
from one of three sources, which
were small boys bonf1res. fires to
clear land, or sparks from loeomo-
tives. Grass and brush is dry at this
time Of the year, and when once ig-
nited, 1t usually burns briskly with
damaging results where frame struc-
lures are found in its path.
Part of house on the road to
New Brunswick just west OF Metu-
chen, was burned yesterday. One
corner Of the building became ig-
nited from burning grass. The Me-
tuchen fire department was sum-
moned. BY means of a hand pump
and a bucket brigade the flames
were extinguished before much dam
age resulted.
A large section of woods south OF
South Amboy was aflame yesterday
afternoon. Grass and brush on a
territory of ten acres or more was
burned.

CAIRO, March 2S.-DlSregarding
the warning against ruffiing the feel
ings Of the Nationalists and the ad-
vice to cut out certain paragraphs
of his speech, Colonel Roosevelt to-
day, in his address at the University
of Egypt, took strong stand for
law enforcement and denounced the
recent assassination of Bourtos
Pasha, the premier AS the nation
alists are charged with responsibility
for this crime, many of his hearers
WINGED under the denunciation.
Despite the fact that many of the
faculty and students sympathize with
the nationalist movements, the
speech made great hit. Roosevelt
said that the people must be trained
for self-government, and constitu-
tion alone would not give it to them.
He made strong plea for morality
and manliness. He said the curricu-
lum should not be exclusively liter
ary, but the university should train
engineers, farmers and merchants.
He pleaded for religious toleration,
between Christians and Mosems. He
announced that the degree of Doctor
of Laws had been conferred on him
by the University of Egypt.
He lunched with DR.. Watson, head
Of the American mission, and later
dedicated an American girls mission

WAS THROWN
BY HORSES
AND KILLED

Peter Crawley, Jr., brother of
Miss Marie A. Crawley, Western
Union telegraph operator in this
city, was instantly killed Saturday
night about o'clock by being
thrown from a wagon drawn by a
team of runaway horses which he
was driving. He sustained a broken
neck. His lifeless body was dragged
along the ground for some distance
until the weight finally brought the
animals to standstill.
Crawley was employed on his
fathers farm at Browntown. Satur-
day afternoon he harnessed the
horses to a wagon such as is used by
the street department Of this city.
They were very spirited and had not
bean out Of the stable for drafting
pNs oses since last fall. In the
early part of the evening the ami
mails made several attempts to take
the bits between their teeth. but
each time the attempt proved futile.
Fearing, however, that they would
get away from him, Crawley
wrapped the reins securely around
his wrists and then tied the. ends
around his body.
The team was travelling along at
slow gait, say persons who saw it
just prior to the accident. The
horses are supposed to have taken
fright and dashed off without giving
the driver any warning. From
marks found on his body, 1t was de-
termined that he pitched headlong
from his seat, landing ON his head
and fracturing his spine at the neck.
When found, the reins were wrapped
around his arms, and one of his
wrists had been pulled out of joint
from the severe strain. Coroner Ma
son, of South Amboy, was summoned
and viewed the remains.
Miss Crawley was notified and left
for Browntown at once.
