Esterbrook led with an average
of 1876. He headed the league
again in 1889, with ,913 aver
age.
Denny made his great reputa-
ton while playing against such
men as Jim McGarr, Billy Nash
and Ed Williamson, the best men
that ever played the position.
Denny is a New Yorker and
was born March 10, 1859. His
major league career began in
Providence, where he played
from 1881 to 1886; he was with
St. Louis one year, indianapolis
three, New York two, Cleveland
one and Louisville two, leaving
the majors IN 1894.
He is best remembered as one
of the great Providence team of
"a, the year Radbourne pitched
II games, and Sweeney famed
II Boston batters. Art Irwin and
Paul Hines were with that team,
Hines being the hero of the first
unassisted triple play in baseball.
Baseball owes Jerry Denny a
good bit. With B. w. Porter and
Jim O'Rourke he organized the
Connecticut league, which still

BURKE SUSPENDED
Detective Michael Burke of the
Central detail, who shot and kill
ed Joseph Harasek early Sunday
morning, has been suspended on
the order of Mayor Harrison.
He has not been arrested, and
will probably be free until the
coroner's inquest, which was
postponed yesterday until Dec.
81. His freedom will depend up
on the jury's verdict.
Burke might not have been sus-
pended if it had not been for the
action of Mayor Harrison. The
mayor summoned Chief Nc
Weeny to his office.
''What are you going to do
with Burke?" demanded the
mayor.
81 guess he will be suspended,
answered the chief.
The mayor at once ordered the
suspension and a thorough in
vestigation of the killing.
Harasek had quarreled with
Burke on a street car. He struck
the policeman when both alighted
at 86th street and Summit ave

from Burke when the latter

a Commercial Club?

What's commercial club? We've always had
certain ideas about such an organization; we've
looked upon it as an organized body of business
and professional men having for its object the sup
port and encouragement of every worthy enter
prise and undertaking in the community, sort of
protector for the people, which could be called up
on at any time, and which was always ready. to
lead and direct in everything tending to the bet
terment of the public.
Cedar City is reputed to have a commercial
club but if it has one it is as silent as the Sphinx
of Egypt We have repeatedly pointed out the
necessity for action by the club on matters invov-
ing the welfare of the city, but for answer we get
silence
Within the past week at least three men have
expressed themselves as anxious to join the com
mercial club, and assist in making it live, pro-
gressive organization. One of them suggested the
organization of Business Mems League if the
commercial club could not be induced to take on
greater activity. Such step should not be neces-
sary as the present organization il aroused to it's
opportunities and responsibilities, is amply suffic-
lent to cover the commercial field,
Officers of the Club, call a meeting, and inject
little enthusiasm into the organization. 1t has a
grand mission to perform and should up and do
ing.

Liquor Law Violations

One only needs to read the liquor ordinance
passed by the city council last Monday, which APP
pears IN this issue Of The Record, to understand
that the council is in earnest about the enforce
ment of the law prohibiting the illicit sale of in
toxicating liquors
The various officials charged with the enforce
ment of the law are unanimous in their statements
that the law is being hagranty violated in this
city, and that they propose to leave nothing UNI
done to bring the offenders TO account.
Ofenses of this character are among the most
difficult to prosecute, il being next to impossible
to secure sufficient evidence to convict. 1t is for
this reason that many complain about the ineffect
iveness of prohibitory laws.
However, prohibitory laws may be enforced
and convictions secured If the officers charged with
their enforcement are conscientious and anxious
to do their duty at all times Fortunately for this
city It's officers believe in the enforcement of law
and as consequence convictions are, and will
continue to be- secured for unlawful selling of in,
toxcants
At the election held for the purpose of ascer-
tanning the will of the people of this community
on the question, only about thirty-ive votes were
cast in favor of egalized liquor selling. In view
of the undsputed expression of public sentiment
against the sale of liquor few individuals should
not be permitted to thwart the will of the great
majority, but offenders should be watched and
brought to justice promptly.

One Of our contemporaries in Kane county in
an article on the relative qualifications of the can
ddates for attorney general proceeds to attack A.
r. Barnes, the present incumbent. because he was
not born in Utah. and urges that p. T. Farms
worth Jr. deserves the support of the Republican
party for the sole reason that he happened to be
born within the imaginary lines defining this
state.
We can hardly find words to express our dis
gust for such tommyrot. The newspaper that is
mt big enough and broad enough to accept man
for what he is-his manhood. his honor. his abil-
ity his faithfuness does not deserve the support
of the public. Perhaps it never occurred to the
management of the paper in question. but such a
policy. if followed would deprive every pioneer in
the upbuilding of the state of any opportunity to
serve the state in which he has made his home for
the greater portion of his life the state which he
loves, which he has heped to develop. and in
whose progress he may have been strong factor.
Such rule would prevent the pioneer from
holding an Office of public trust in the state. but
his son might do so: inferring that the son is more
deserving than the father, regardless of qualifca-
tions. or any of the other attributes that go to
make good citizen and capable public official.
Moreover. such policy would virtually take
the rights of citizenship from the thousands of
men and women who have removed to Utah within
the last thirty years. and by industry, thrift hon
esty and the exercise of their talents have helped
to bring the state to the forefront in wealth. nhu
ence and knowledge. lin evely community men
may be found who are giving of their time and
their money unsparingly. in an effort TO assist the
whole people And yet, the Kane county editor
with the circumscribed conscience would deny
them the right to hold public office, if some native
born aspirant should come forward.
We hive it from one member of the Supreme
Court that Attorney General Barnes h rs done more
to assist the court than any other man who eve
held the position; seems that he has had con
scentous desire to do his full duty. Then again
be has succeeded in collecting more inheritanc,
tax during his term of Office than was collected
before in the entire existence of the state. Blu
what do these things matter TO the wide awake(?
progressive CD editor from Kane county? Tn
state of Utah is soon to enjoy one of the fines

paid for almost entirely by funds received as in
heritance taxes But as the aforesaid editor does
not need an Office in the capitol building doubtless
he feels that the state could as we'll do without
one, box car might serve the purpose.
AS to Mr.. Farnsworth. we have nothing but
the highest commendation. We believe him to be
a man as sincere as Mr.. Barnes and equally as cap
able If he should receive the nomination and be
elected we doubt not that he would acquit himself
creditably. He is good lawyer and has made a
good official. but we should like to see him make
the campaign on his merits and not by arousing
personal prejudices.

Street Sprinkling.

If possible, some arrangements should be made
to sprinkle the streets in the business section of
town during the dry season, particularly Main
street.
AS result Of the flying dust, the stocks of the
business houses are damaged hundreds of dollars
during the season. One of the leading merchants
stated to Record reporter that he would bear an
equal proportion of the expense with any other
considerable number of business houses for the
sprinklng of Main street. He feels that in doing
so he would save money by saving the loss to his
merchandise. Not only would sprinkling save the
merchants great loss but it would enable them to
always have their stocks in better condition for
the buying public.
The city could secure sprinkling wagon and
by arranging to have the street sprinkled twice a
day, could overcome the dust nuisance at nomi-
nal expense. While the city should provide the
sprinkler and pay the expense of operating it, il
at least sh ,uld furnish the wagon and should CO.
operate to get as many merchants as possible to
contribute to the expense of operation.
