Dramatist Made Big Money from
Play to be Seen Here Oct. 10

Augustus Thomas, the author of
1.-The Witching Hour" which is to
be seen at the Bennington opera
house on Friday evening, October Is,
under the management Of George W.
McGregor & Co., has, for the last
two years, enjoyed positively the
largest income of any dramatist in
the English speaking world. He has
attained a position of such unique
fame that any work from his pen
commands immense royalties. In
fact, Clyde Fitch, at the height Of
his powers. never could demand
such percentages as are now willing
ly paid to Mr.. Thomas for every play
of his that is produced.
It is calculated that, since the first
presentation OF THE Witching Hour"
Mr. Thomas has received at least
half a million dollars from this one
play. In this particular instance,
having special faith in the drama, he
obtained an interest in the produc-
ton itself over and above his royal
ties as the author. 1t is known that

TIE MINISTER'S DECLARATION

The Ministerial Association of this
city, AT It's meeting on Monday after
noon. adopted the following declara-
tion with respect to the coming liquor
election in Utah:
Whilst this ministerial association care
fully refrains from any public utterances
concerning matters purely political, In
view of tho fact that tho vote TO be taken
IN this city June y is ostcnslbly on the
single issue OF prohibition OF The liquor
traffic on the ono hand and on the other
The open saloon regulated by tho law en-
acted by the llte legislature, We there
fore declare ourselves unalterably in favor
Of the determination Of the liquor traffic
in Utah.
That is perfectly candid, straight
forward, and complete expression on
the pending situation here. It will he
impossible for the ministers TO work
for prohibition absolute, because there
is no question Of that kind pending.
The only question pending here is
whether there shall be liquor sold rs
heretofore uuder the strict regulation
of tho law in different places through
out the city, or whether the liquor busi.
ness shall he confined 10 the sales from
the breweries, distilleries, drug stores.
and hotel bars. As between the two,
there is no real question so far As pro.
hibtion is concerned, in the coming
election.
The ministers declare themselves
"unaIterablv in favor Of the eXetrmina-
tion of the liquor traffic in Utah, - but
they evidently recognize that they ran
not get it at this election. Therefore
they very naturally and properly de-
cline TO take any stand in favor of
any sham through which they see That
their desire is impossible Of realizs ton.
II is idle to suppress the saloon when
the opportunity to buy liquor by the
keg or FIVE gallon demijohn is open
TO every one who desires. That is what
the law guarantees. as we have shown
by quoting the section. The people
cannot by their votes stop the manu-.
facture Of beer, wine. or spirits; they
cannot stop the sale of these by those
who make them. And so the ministers
did The best they could by making
their declaration as they did They did
not undertake to apply their principles
TO the coming election, because those
principles cannot he applied 10 IT. since
II affords no possible opportunity Of
extermnating tho liquor traffic here.

cludc all the saline lands in the State,
the court failed to give tho State the
benefit of the language that seems to
imply the grant of all the saline lands.
But ii construed the word including
TO be restrictive and not expansive.
This, as we have pointed ont hitherto,
rs different from the constructions Of
such grants usually made heretofore.
We do not doubt that Justice Harlan 3
dissenting opinion in this will read very
much moro agreeably 10 the people or
Utah than the decision OF the court
as made. That dissenting opinion,
however strong il may he, and there IS
certainly ground for strength in it, has
no effect, unfortunately.
The university, according TO the
terms of the grant. would seem to have
fair claim TO all Of the saline lands
in the State but the court denies this
view. and that is the end of it. Justice
Mckeuus. who delivered the opinion
of the court. placed the weight of his
reasoning upon the word "including -
II, on the other hand, ne had laid the
stress Of his reasoning upon the grant
of all the saline lands in the State,
he might have come 10 different con
clusion. As il is. that portion of the
wording Of the grant is disregarded
altogether in favor Of narrow con.
struction OF the word including.
And, while the university is obliged TO
submit, it cannot be blamed for harbor-
ing a discomfort that is quite natural
under the circumstances, but for which
there is no remedy.
