CRIMINALITY IN THIS CITY.

Though thou shouldest bray a fool ir
a mortar among wheat with a pestle, yet
Will not his foolishness depart from him
Proverbs xvii. 22.
This scripture, beloved brethren, is
directed against the writer of the lead
ing article in the Deseret News of last
night. That article undertook to ac~
count for the criminalities and law.
lessuess reported in this city from time
to time, by laying the trouble all back
upon the American party administra-
tion. 1t claims that under that "Bab-
ylonian captivity the city was laid
PROSTATE, that "toughs, horse racers,
pugilists, gamblers, and their afinities
came here,' and respectable citi-
zens' looked on with complacency,
because they wanted business to
flourish.
In this connection it is evidently
smarting under the lust condemnation
of itself as the reactionary organ and
the exponent of mossbacks and those
who habitually hold back; and as to
these charges against the News, they
are unquestionably correct, not only
now, bbut always. save only when its
own class was in control The News
finds fault with The Tribune for 'con-
demning' its attitude toward the
American administration "without rea-
son. its defense being that it con-
demned the American administration
for ''lieensing au institution declared
illegal b. both State law and the city
ordinances Which is but a small
part, but TO which we may fairly
reply that as the News is evidently
referring to the 81 Red Light district,
The Tribune condemned that even more
severely than did the News, and we
may say further that the News has
made itself the organ Of lawlessness
here for years by upholdiug an insti-
tuition (polygamy aud polygamous liv.
ing) declared illegal by the laws Of
the Nation and OF the State. So
far as that is concerned, the News is
the only paper in condemnation, since
on both accounts.
We may state, further, that the
American administration took over the
city government from church admin

as to our own. All thnt can be asked
is that there shall be no discrimination
as among others. and that the rcgula-
tions, tolls, and requirements shall be
fair and equal AS among those nations
and their subjects. The United States
is the owner and manager and the com.
plctc master OF the canal. it can blow
it up if il wants TO, or il can allow
ships TO go through or not. as it pleases.
II can bar al foreign war ships from
the use Of the canal, OF it can at any
time, on any prctcXt that it chooses,
bar the passage Of any vessel whatever
from that canal.
The idea that We owe ANYTHING to
other nations with respect to this canal,
as compared with our duty TO ourselves
and TO our own shipping, is altogether
preposterous. and the contention which
| reads into Section ! of Article the
wholly uubusincsslillc proposition that
we are ourselves bound by the regula.
tions that we Will make as to tolls for
vessels Of other nations using the canal,
is too preposterous for any argument
The treaty is TO be read rs n whole,
and not to be interpreted by any spc-
clal section or particular sentence
The idea upon which the British pro-
test is founded, apparently would pre-
vent the United States, in case it found
vessel Of nation with which we are
at war in the waters adjacent to the
canal, or in the canal itself, from MAX
ing an attack upon it; but that we
would be bound to let it alone until it
had "a hours the start in going out Of
the harbor. The absolute folly Of any
such contention as this is manifest.
There would be no moro obligation
upon us to allow a war vessel of ma
tion which we were fighting to get
away under such circumstances, than
there would be for us to do the like in
New I ork harbor, or to give foreign
army that might invade our shores 24
hours to escape, if it wished the oppor-
tunity.
1t is high time that this foolish senti-
mentality were banished in the treat
ment Of the Panama canal question, and
that we return to a basis of sane sense
In discussing the matter The basic
proposition Is that the United States
owns the canal, and can do what 1T
likes with it. 1t has engaged by treaty
with other powers that it will treat
these powers equally in the use of that
canal; but there is absolutely no rea-
son why we should enter into any
treaty or obligations with any power
whatever, as to the use Of that canal by
our own shippers, or by our own
government, and neither have we done
so. As to our own shipping for CONNER
cial purposes, we are absolutely free, 4
and no foreign country has possible
right to claim any partnership with us
therein. And with respect to legislation
pending in Congress, it is sheer impu~
dence for Great Britain or any other
country to express any opinion. II we
pass any law or do any act supposed
to be against any foreign interest, it
will be time enough to make complaint,
but to call a halt before, is an unwar.

The peril at times of automobile
riding has been shoekingly exempl-
fed hereabouts recently. 1t is evident
that few words of caution need to
he spoken, 10 the effect that soundness
of tires, perfect condition of machin
cry, and steadiness Of nerve Of the one
who drives, should always be insisted
upon. The accidents referred to have
been dreadful and deplorable, and too
much care in handling the machines
cannot be enioined.

The fights between American sea-
men and petty officials of the Panama
republic on July 4th illustrates anew
the peril of an alien jurisdiction on
the Isthmus. The United States put
Panama on the map. and should take it
off By absorption before the canal is
opened TO the traffic of the world. For,
IN case of war or any international
complications. we would be rather more
likely than not to find Panama allied
with our foes

And now squabble is reported be.

Democratic leadership. Mr.. Underwood
as chairman OF the Ways and Means
committee. which shapes tariff legisIa-

communicate with him on desired legis-
lation. This is resented BY Speaker
Clark. who justly claims that he, as
Speaker of the House. the highest of.

10 whom Mr. Wilson should commune

with ginger on both sides.
