The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1913-11-25

The wickedness of city, its knavery,
its thievery. its immortality and name
less vices gather round the prize ring.
And there our young men and youths
are corrupted There they associate
with the vilest of men. There they be-
come vile themselves. 1t is infinitely
pathetic TO see boys from good homes,
finely reared, college bred, who are
paying their money to see two men bat
ter each other about the head and
breast. It is not less pathetic to real
ize that these two are doing 1T for
money. Human beings, our fellows,
made of the same flesh and blood and
human spirit as ourselves, are hiring
themselves out to hurt and he hurt, for
dollars. Their brutality is not a sport.
1t is trade. But the saddest thing Of
all is the reflec..ou that a democracy,
which depends for its success upon the
character of its members. deliberately,
by law and the administration OF law
encourages that which disintegrates and
destroys character and everywhere
hampers the development and progress
and prosperity Of democracy.
Round the prize ring are produced
the voters, ignorant, vicious, unprinci-
pied, who can be safely depended upon
at any time of crisis to cast their bal
lots against anything and everything
which looks toward the ameioration of
social conditions and the improvement
of human character.

CHAPTER 4.
The Invasion.

Such ruin as had been wrought in
Sedgwlcks studio was strictly local
lied. The easel lay on the floor. with
its rear leg crumpled. Around IL
were scattered the fragments OF the
glass upon which the painter had set
his labor OF love. A high old-fash-
toned chair faced the wreckage. On
It's peak was hung travelling cap.
Looping across the back sprawled a
Norfolk jacket belonging TO Sedgwick.
Chester Kent lifted the coat, and al
ter swift survey let II drop.
Did you leave that there? he
asked.
II hung 1t across the back OF the
chair" answered Sedgwick.

Sedgwick obeyed.
There said Kent viewing the re-
suit from the window. AT a dis
lance of, say, a quarter OF mile, that
arrangement Of coat and cap would
look uncommonly like man sitting
in a chair before his work. AT least,
7 should think so. And yonder thickct

out of the window again, is just
about that distance, and seems 10 be
the only spot in sight giving straight
range. Suppose we run up there.

wick was painting when he brought

leader. AS the scientist

lounging in chair Bidding the art

moments the sound Of low lugubrious
whistling was heard from the trees,
and presently the musician emerged
leading himself by the lobe Of his
ear.
