WOMAN WRITES ON CRIME
AND CRIMINAL ELEMENT

That crime is holding the attention OF
all salt Lake city at present is evident
by the discussions we hear both public
and private. though I was sorry that
this subject of crime was taken up and
made the theme of discussion in our
pulpits on last Sunday, which Is out OF
place and outside Of the work OF our
eminent divines. Ministers Of the gos-
pei know but very little of crime or
criminals and that by what they hear
and read about. They do not come In
contact personally with ths rowing
thieves, murderers and the outlawed
class, so they are stepping out Of their
profession to attempt to advise rene
dies for the suppression OF crime. es-
pecially such drastic measures as tho
whipping post Those things belong 10
the dark ages and not to an au ghtened
civilized and Christian people.
Brother Short doesn't say II he would
have those criminals whipped before
they commit murder or after--if before,
Il is more than likely they would be
driven to commit murder: II after. IL
would be too late
This work OF dealing with criminals
had better be left TO the officers Of the
law--men who make an almost life
study Of dealing with crime. / am Won
dering If every minister In this city were
put on the police force. where would
they go to find their birds, only TO find
them flown. just how they would
pounce upon their night hawks. I fear
they would not be very successful In
bagging such big game. IL takes
"Pinkertons" years Of hard. adroit ma
neuvering to run down men who are
stepped In crime; with always a price
on their heads, they are not to be
caught mapping, nor In church.
Ministers had better preach Cod
teach God-and treat their fellow men
IN a God-like manner. People love "a
good sermon, and do not 20 to the
police courts to hear them: neither do
crimes OF which the daily papers have
thoroughly informed them.
Now, hadn't we all better turn our
attention to the kind Of men We elect
20 office? Is not there too much graft
IN sending some men TO official posi-
tions OF trust. and too much graft in
keeping them there? II men are not
capable and competent to cope with
all OF the elements OF crlue that CON
front them kick them out and elect
men who have the courage 10 do their
duty. salt Lake Is no village. and
probably the police force needs re-
enforcement. II 50. that rests with
our city fathers our offices should
be fully equipped with men and quick
conveyance from one point 20 another.
our law makers make our laws 10 meet
every requirement Of safety, public
and personal.
