from last meeting had enabled the Ia
dies auxiliary of the chamber of COM
merce to "beat the chamber OF COM
merce to it." The ladies had taken
the matter up with the city council
and secured the adoption of the rec
concentrations of his committee, ex-
cept in one particular. Instead OF ap-
pointing a physician as health officer
they had appointed Jay Woodworth,
as deputy marshal, with power to ar
rest and assigned the duties of health
officer to him. Mr. Woodwork is suf-
ficiently interested in the work to do
nate his service. and as Jay is man
who does things, the duties of health
officer will be well attended to, and
without expense to the city. The re-
port was approved.

AN EXTRAORDINARY FEAR.

II Is impossible, Of course, to sympa.

suffragettes Of England 1t would be
equally impossible to sympathize with
like efforts In case mon were engaged
in them, for it is manifest truth that
the breaking Of the laws, and organiza.

tices, are the poorest arguments posi-
BILE for the purpose of showing tho At
ness Of those engaged in such doings to
have the suffrage All such activities
prove unftness for tho suffrage rather
than the dcsirability Of extending the
suffrage to those who thus break the
laws. And this rule applies equally to
men and to women.
But, on the other hand, II anything
could possibly excuse the sufYragettes
criminalities 1t would be tho dense, stu
pid and farcical reasons given by the
opponents of women suffrage in Great
Britain, for extending this suffrage to
women. Lord Northfeld Is quoted as
fearing that If the suffrage is granted
to women. the women will thereupon
boss the English men, since there Is
majority of women in England, over
men. To this DR.. Mary Murdoch in
speech nt Hull replies that men in the
future should be the cooks, "because
they stand heat better than womon.D
These two brilliant propositions de-
serve to stand together. There Is quite

than they are) in case Of suffrage being
upon women as thero is that
the men generally will be the cooks in
tho families Of that kingdom. 1t Is
quite true that men cooks are common
enough, and surely they are at the head
of their profession as cooks, but that
the increase of mon cooks would be q

ridiculous notions that while they NAV

DISGUSTING TECHNICALrTIEs.

1t is often said, and with truth, that
the actions of some of our courts are
what really stimulate the demand for
the recall not only of the Judges them
selves. but Of their decisions. We have
printed from time to time instances
from the rulings Of various courts in
this respect. Other instances might be
named.
For example, tho late Judge James B.
CAN'T Of the Missouri Supreme Court
quashed an indictment because the
word "the' had been omitted. The at.
torneys protested against the decision.
but Judge CAN'T still held that the
omission Of the word "theU made void
the validity Of the indictment. That is
a case that would seem to be almost the
extreme. For although the Missouri
state Constitution requires that all in
dictments close with tho formula.
"against the peace and the dignity of
the State,' surely there is no sense in
invalidating the indictment for 30 triv-
ial cause as the omission of the word
the before Estate" And vet at
the memorial exercises held recently in
Jefferson City, Judge Phillips upheld
Judge CAN'T on his order invalidatinq
that Indictment on the principle stated,
and Judge Phillips urged that Judge
dantt's death had been fastened by
reason OF the criticism heaped upon him

THE NATIONS PROTEST.

To the nations that have already
formally protested against the ENFORCE
ment Of the per cent rebate on I'm
ports In American ships, arc now to be
added France and Japan 1t has been
conclusively shown that the enforce
mont of that rebate is quite impossible;
and yet both President Wilson and
Representative Underwood Insist that
they will not consent to the repeal OF
that provision of tho law, although
President Wilson Mt first announced
himself in favor Of that repeal,
Inasmuch MS the per cent rebate
cannot be enforced against nations with
which we have commercial treaties and
In favor of American shipping as
against those nations, IL would seem a
clear case that the provision ought to
be repealed instanter. If 1t should be
construed by the Treasury Department
as admitting all Of the treaty nations
to the per cent rebate, the Treasury
would lose immense sums of money.
If there should be an attempt to en-
force this provision exclusively in ia.
vor Of American ships, it would lead to
litigation and to endless claims for
rebates by importers. 1t is impossible
to see any practical sense OF sound
reason for the continuance of this pre-.
tended rebate which is no rebate at
all, since 1t cannot be enforced; and it
puts the administration in decidedly Il
bad light when it is found that it is
determined to stand by this impossi.
bility, In spite of all reasoning, logic,
law, and common sense.

The Tribune also had an article yes

there were gas wells opened north Of
the city in the vicinity OF Bountiful,

intermittent, new wells had constantly

vclopment as justified further con-
possible that n more thorough explora-
