DODGE SOLVES TRAMP PROBLEM
County Reduces Jnii Expenses With
StOne Pile and Dark
Room.

In all probability Dodge county like
Sauk county has solved the tramp
problem and at the same time eftectu-
ally disposed of the old game of the
shiftiess who commit petty larceny
for the purpose of securing warm
berth in the county jails during the
winter months.
Up to four years ago Dodge county
was paying about Sc, 900 for the care of
tramps, drunks, and those who COM
mitted petty larceny for the purpose
of getting into Jail during the wiater
months.
Dark Room for UnruIy.
The Dodge county board built a
brick structure with number of
rooms about five feet square with no
light. In these dungeons men are
placed when they refuse to work.
Usually few hours are enough to
bring back the working spirit and
they are willing to go into the adjoin-
ing shed where the stone pile is kept,
and the prisoners work for ten hours a
day during the term of the sentence.
One guard is required whose duty is to
see that they are fed and do full
days work. The crushed stone is sold
for street purposes.
Of course this Dodge county institu-
tion is growing less popular and dur
ing the past year only 81 prisoners
have been sent there and according
to the way the business is dropping off
it is only question of few years
when it will be empty. Instead Of
costing the county $4,000 year it has
cost less than $500.
Stone Pile Success.
In discussing the result of working
on the stone pile The superintendent
says prisoner never has been return
ed to Jail in Dodge county since the
new method. At the end of five days
they express desire to get away from
Dodge county. We believe that if
such a method was in vogue all over
this country that the tramps would
begin to w ork rather than endure such
punishment.

RETAILERS FIGHT
THE BIC MAIL
ORDER HOUSES
CITY OCTOPUS CONCENTRATES
TRADE, CAUSING THE VILLAGES
AND TOWNS INJURY.

War is being waged on the great
catalogue houses of Chicago and other
cities by the 100000 retail merchants
of the west.
Thei mammoth institutions, employ
ing thousands of workers, doing their
business entirely through the medium
OF their bulky catalogues, paying no
taxes and spending no money in the
communities whence they derive an
nually millions of dollars of patronage
are continually working injury to the
home merchant Consumers who con-
template patronizing the mail order
house should first give the local deal
ers chance TO meet the catalogue
figures. They should always take into
consideration the delay incurred when
an order is sent out of town, the risk OF
the goods being spoiled or injured en-
route, the dissatisfaction and disap-
pointment which often enSues when
the articles selected from catalogue,
and not by personal inspection, arrive.
The cost of the freight should also be
considered.
Alfred c. Clarke, manager OF the
Home Trade League of America, has
said:
No Sentiment i'm Business.
"While on general principals there is
no sentiment in business, still the
manufacturers and jobbers of America
have built up their vast institutions
on the business sent them by the
country retail merchant. A monstros-
ity has come into the field, and by the
aid of catalogue, assimilates every
kind of merchandise from paper of

GIVES THEM A BAD TASTE.

Merely in the form Of an uudercur-
rent, but whose existence is neverthe-
less recognized in official circles, there
is considerable talk of action being TAX
en- at the coming conference in the case
of Hon, Reed Smoot, whose dual pro.
prietorship of apostolic and Senatorial
honors has become intensely distasteful
to thousands of sincere Mormons.
II may be, however, that certain
other necessary readjustmcnts which
have arisen by reason Of recent gen.
erally.regrettcd happening shall fill the
measure Of changes to be made at this
time. Yet, il is possible that determi-
nation to complete the work of reorgan-
ization at once may induce execution Of
the apostolic cleaning hoped for
and urged by the rank and file. Apos-
tle-Senator Smoot has been a subject of
earnest discussion in the church for
some time past, and it is known that
the first presidency and the apostolate
are SO thoroughly aware of the awak
ened and increasing discomfort in this
matter that they arc already partially

IAN IMMORAL PROPAGANDA

4 dispatch of the Associated Press
from Berlin, dated March Goth, says
that "Fivc Mormon missionaries from
Utah were expelled from Saxony as
undesirable aliens. They were charged
with conducting. an immoral propa-
ganda.' The missionaries had already
induced many women and girls to emil
CRATE to Utah.
There is no doubt that the Mormon
preaching would so seem to the matter
of-fact Saxon mind. The officials of
the kingdom of Saxony have no doubt
taken notice of the official admission
contained in the "Address TO the
World" put forth by the April con-
ference of three years ago, where new
cases of polygamy, in defiance of the
Manifesto. were expressly admitted.
They have, no doubt, also, tho report
of the shocking testimony given by
President Joseph j., Smith in the
Smoot case, where he admitted that
he was (and is) living in illegal mari
tai relations with FIVE wives; that he
rebels against the laws Of God and
man. Doubtless, also, they arc aware
of the fact that polygamous living con
tiuues openly in Utah; that the claim is
mpudently made by the apologists for
priestly Iawlessness that there was an
understanding that this lawless and
immoral living was to continue; and
that the church leaders announce that
their belief In polygamy, both as to
its divinity and rightfulness, is as
strong as ever
All theso proofs of immortality, of
violation of law, of false pretenses as
to understanding that the old i'm
morality shall continue, must appeal to
the common sense minds of the Saxon
officials as conclusive Of the immortality
Of the Mormon teachings and policies,
And. on calm. candid view Of this
whole matter, who can blame them for
taking that view9

them to be allowed to pcrpetuate their

counter to this rule is sure, in the
long run, to have detcriorating effect
on the race, and later generations will
have to suffer for our efforts TO 90

FUNDS FOR THE SILVER SERVICE.

We note that Governor Spry has ap-
pointed a committee to see TO tho col
lection of funds to buy silver service
for the battleship "Utah.' II is in
conformity with custom that the State
for which a batt!cship is named shall
do this, and very appropriate Gus
tom it is. Utah should sec that the
up in grade, quality and plentifulness
as the ship ranks in comparison with
other war-craft of the U. s. navy;
that is, it should be superior TO most
and surpassed by none. And we may
add the hope that the service shall be
Of Utah silver, aud be made by local
silversmitbs
We are obliged TO dissent, however,
from the Governor suggestion that
the school children be appealed to for
the money TO pay for this service. 1t
is wrong to beSicge them with inn
portunitios for contributions for any
purpose whatever. The laws compel
the attendance at school Of all chill
drcn of school age. 1t is unjust, after
this compulsory gathering of them in,
to take advantage of any kind Of
their being there. The rule of the
board of education of this city, for
bidding all such solicitations from the
school children. is an eminently wise
and proper one, and we hope that it
VIII not be repealed or waived, either
IN this case or any other. Besides that.
II would be a hardship on a family
which has 4 large number of children
in the schools, to furnish the sums
that would be called for, even though
the sum be small for single case.
And after all, the money must come
from the parents, So why 90 through
the pretensc that the children contrib.

have no means Of earning the money?
And II a child. or the children of

IL docs not appear in the statements
of the finances of the various govern
meuts Of the world. nor IN the bank
statements. a writer in the New York
Evening Post endeavors, without sue
cess, to trace that new gold. He shows
that the New York Clearing House
banks. on a recent Saturday, had SIG
$4,000 less gold in their vaults than
wear ago. and that tho National
Banks of the country IN their latest
report show loss of $2,lS0,000 gold
during the year. The Bank of Eng
land and the Bank of France each shows
considerable loss. while the National
Bank of Germany shows n gain of but
little over $3,500.000, a negligible
quantity. The great banking systems
show comparative holdings, now and
last year, as follows:

bility of considerable increases in the
