Judge w. Il, Daley in municipal court
Saturday afternoon rendered decision OF
guilty in the case of State vs.. George H..
Tucker of Brattleboro charged with killing
a deer Illegally during the recent hunting
season. The statute imposes penalty OF
500 and costs for such an offense but an
appeal was taken and the case goes to the
county court. The case was heard at Town
shend Friday afternoon before Judge
Daley States Attorney F. L. Barber ap-
peared for the state and Robert {. Bacon
was attorney for the respondent. The state
claimed that Tucker killed two instead of
one deer as allowed by law, alleging. that
the killing was committed in Townshend
The second deer which the state claimed
Mr.. Tucker shot, was claimed by Mr.:
fuckers companion, Caspar Moran of
Brattleboro, and by Mr.. Moran reported
to Game Warden G. w. Hadlock of West
Townshend at the time of the shooting.
Evidence was introduced to show that the
animal was shot by Mr.. Tucker. In inn
posing sentence Judge Daley expressed
himself in favor of the prosecution of lie
gal hunting.

TO BUILD UP THE WEST.

The meeting Of the Western Develop
ment Association in this city evident
~ fully appreciated the Importance of
the work il has undertaken, and it
has risen TO the occasion with ideas
as broad as the work which its mem.
bers have in mind to do. The chief
thing to be brought before the con
templatlng colonist or investor is the
advantages of the Western region in
offering opportunities for home build
ing, for industry. for investment. and
for leading lives of happiness and
usefulness To the end of bringing
before the people of the East these
advantages, special train is proposed,
which, to be sure, will cost money, but
which will bring direct to the homes

wise possible. knowledge of the vast
extent, the illimitablc resources, and
the infinite possibilities of this West
ern region.
The meeting of the representatives
of the different States and of this as
sociation in Salt Lake City has been
one Of mutual advantage and pleasure.
Salt Lake City is glad to welcome these
boosters, and To show them the beauty
and advantage of the progress made
here within the past five years, and to
outline to them plans Of advancement
that will yield even more remarkable
results on the splendid foundation al
ready established.
Salt Lake City is quickly coming to
be the center of these development
boosts for all the West and Central
mountain region. Its location being
central, and the city being easily nc
cessible from every direction, the facts
of centrality and convenience pro
mote the holding of such meetings in
this city, which is so well able 10 care
f " and encourage all of them; and
we are glad TO see that this Western
Development Association, as we'll as
other associations for theg development
and progress of the West, look to Salt
Lake City as the starting point and as
the rallying center for all. This is
exactly as 1t should be, and Salt Lake
City welcomes every effort of this
kind and every person who helps
therein

having more votes at the primaries
than their next opponent II would
seem as though there would have to
be some means of guiding the pri-
maries, either by conventions or mass
meetings. or something of the kind, or
the vote will be so badly scattered that
discomfort will be certain TO arise as
n result of tho nominations. However,
IL may be that these details will ad'
Just themselves to the public sahsfac-
ton later on, but it must be confessed
that the whole scheme would have been
much more satisfactory if we could
have had an election on the question
whether we would accept this form OF
government or not, so the people could
pass through a campaign and under
stand Just what it was they were vot'
ing for. AS it is, form of munici-
pal government is thrust upon the pco'
pie of this city with which they are
not familiar, and in the routine OF
procedure there may be expert manipu-
lation, which will be ut once n shock
and disgust to the public.

SALT LAKE WEDNESDAY MORNING,

ture that. in obedience to the whip and
spur OF tho Federal bunch, reluctantly,
10 be sure. but none the less certainly,
passed n law in accord with party
pledge, but law that was absolutely
needless, and if II had not been
passed the omission never would have
been noticed, because the legislation
was ample without it; it is an abso-
lutely needless law where it is no, in
part and wholly vicious Yet that
same Legislature and Federal bunch alb
solutely ignore the Constitution on a
question of the fundamental rights. of
the people.
1t is plain to be seen that, in the
opinion of those who control and man.
age the Legislature, Il constitutional
mandate is of no Importance, a thing to
be ignored; but Il partisan pledge is
thing to be kept. This very curious
and indcfensblc gauge Of civic mo-
ralty is one which deserves and will
undoubtedly receive the condemnation
of the people of this State. 1t will be
resented by those whose rights arc de-
MED them; and the suppression of the
representation which the people are
entitled to have will be an additional
opprobium to he hcapcd upon the
heavy weight already piled upon the

Parents meetings arc held in them,

mcnt, and public considerations of
vital and local questions.
The plan for such wider use OF
school houses seems to work we'll in
practice. The only objection that VIC
have ever heard against il is, thnt it
might disarrnngc or wrench the furni-
turc, such as school seats and desks;
but 1t is TO be supposed that whoever
apply for the use OF the rooms for
any public purpose, would hold them
selves responsible for any damage IN
hictcd, and would see that the room
would be IN proper condition for school
use the next day. All matters like this
are simply questions of detail, The
main and large question is, the com
in the most advantageous manner, and
to yield the best economic results. 1t
is 10 be hoped that the Board of Edu-
cation Of Salt Lake City will see its
way to open the school houses for pub
lie purposes at such times as will not
interfere with the schools, and in such
manner as will fully protect the school
property, and at the same time serve
the public. This broader use of the
school houses is becoming general, and
there is no reason why Salt Lake
should hold back.
