The cases in the Recorders court

BETTER CONDITION IN
THE MONEY MARKET
Much Wool Buying at Nor.
NAL Prices Reported, De-
spite Tariff Agitation.

The money market in Salt Lake City
eased up considerably during the last
week and conditions are now more ia
vorable than for some time past. There
was an increase in the supply and inter.
est rates decreased slightly in sym.
pathy,
One Of the reasons for the easing up
Of the market is tho large amount of
wool disposed Of during the week. A
number of big sales were reported and,
by tho way, the prices obtained by the
woolgrowera. despite the tariff agita-
tion, were about the Same as were re-.
ceived last year, when there was no
such agitation. The knight wooden mills
interests at Provo are reported to have
been heavy buyers of feeces during the
past week. A number Of other deals
also are reported at prices ranging from
1G TO 18 cents, according to the quality
Of the product.
Bank clearings were less for tho week
and month than they were a year ago,
hut this is attributed to the fact that
tho weather has held back real estate
and building operations and that mon,
ey is being held in the banks instead of
being placed in circulation. This con
dition, however. will soon be remedied

A Parallel Case

Those who think Huerta should be rec
ognizeG by the United States might well
consider what their feelings would be
were the United States, instead OF Mexico,
undergoing civil war.
Suppose that revolution had broken
out in the vicinity of Washington and
that the President and other high officials
of the United States had been killed; that
the chief officer of the army had then tax
en- possession of the capital city and had
gotten from the portion of Congress that
was there surrounded by his soldiers,
recognition as provisional president of
the republic: suppose that New England,
New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio would
not recognize such seizure of power as
legal and were willing to fight to prevent
it and to maintain the Constitution of
the United States-who would be the
''rebels" in such a case and who should
be recognized or given the opportunity
to prove their ability to maintain their
government? The cases are fairly alike.

The So-Called "Blue Laws. "

Every now and then some one who
should know better is heard to repeat
the old worn-out stories concerning the
blue Laws of New England; will tell
with confident belief the old yarn that
the laws of Connecticut punished the
traveller returning home from long
journey; fined him for kissing his wife on
Sunday, and other stories equally edily-
ing and equally false. The early laws OF
New England were strict; they were not
absurd. Much of the nonsense told about
them may be easily explained
Just before the outbreak OF the Revolt
ton there was living in Connecticut
clergy man, graduate of Yale colleage,
who had spent several years abroad and
who, having taken orders in the English
church, had returned to take charge of
churches at Hartford and Hebron in his
native state. His extravagant manner
of life and evident scorn OF all principles
OF Democracy were such that he was
forced to leave the country. In revenge,
he incorporated in History of Connec-
ticut" the falsehoods which form the
basis of the yarns told to-day concerning
the blue Laws"
His history is no more an authorita-
tive work than was Washington Irving's
Knckerborher," Moreover, while r.
Wings hits at New-England were good
natured and humorous, even if the hui
NOR was at times somewhat broad the
attacks of Peters were spiteful and
mean,
When you hear the s'caiIed "Blue
Laws" quoted give the Father Of Lies
his due; also fair share of credit to the
Rey. Samuel A. Peters, to whose fertile
imagination we are indebted for some of
the worst of them.
