SALT LAKE DAILY
FORCED TO QUIT

Salt Lake City,-Announcement just
made here of the suspension OF the
Salt Lake Herald, one of the oldest
ablest and most influential daily news
papers in the west has created a pro-
found sensation and has brought home
with painful suddenness to the public
the plight of the newspaper publishers
The Herald suspends because it finds
itself unable to meet the rising labor
scales and the enormous increase in
the cost of print paper and every item
in the way of supplies entering into
the cost of producing a modern news
pepr.
The Salt Lake Herald was establish
ed over so years ago by Messrs. Sloan
Dunbar, pioneer journalists, and has
had upon it's staff in its long career
being known for half a century as
"The Giant of the Rockies" some Of
the most famous newspaper men in
the country. Among its editors have
been William Hyde, once editor OF the
St. Louis Republic; Charles W. Pen
rose, Mr.. Pollock, father of Claiming
Pollock, the playwright; Heber M.
Wells, Bwron Groo and other very able
men.
Among others who helped to make
the Herald famous were Ada Patter-
son probably the foremost newspaper
woman in the world now; Tod Good
win, Angus X. Nicholson, now a mil
l~ionairs New York banker; Sarah Rod
gers Sloane, of New York City; Ho-

SHERIFF CLEANS
TOUGH PRISONERS

Last Friday Sheriff Jack, Bennett
went to Scobey and arrested two par
ties wanted on a charge of grand lar
ceny, stealing harness and saddles.
Some of the lost articles were found
in the possession of the prisoners at
the time of their arrest. The sher-
iff came back alone with the pair in
an automobile.
1t appears that a short distance out
of Redstone the machine stopped to
take water, when the prisoner sitting
in the back seat suddenly threw his
arm around BENEFITS neck, who was
sitting in front with the driver, and
at the same time reached for the
sheriff's gun. Some fast footwork
was done with the result that the lock-
ed pair dropped to the ground and
Jack got untangled, and instantly had
the two prisoners covered.
The auto party arrived here at noon
Friday. Bennett was unhurt but the
car was pretty we'll smeared with
blood. Understand M of the pris-
oners is taking a few days extra to
have his face repaired before the pre-
liminary examination. - Plentywood

MAKING ELECTRICITY SAFER.

That electricity is a frequent source
Of fire, resulting in a small fire loss
individually but a loss very large in
the aggregate, is a fact that should
be realized. And once realized, the
hazard should be appreciated and the
remedy acted upon with all the vim
that the electrical industry can mus
ter. We might say that when this
occurs the fire hazard of electricity
will be diminished enormously.
1t is an alarming fact that in 1917
electricity was the chief single cause
of fire in IS states and the second
cause in II other states, the total loss
for the year being $1S,8S5,552. In
1918, electricity was the chief cause
of fire in IL states and second in 10
states, the total loss being $20,78O,-
3O7, which exceeded all other single
causes as a destroyer Of property.
One of the outstanding features of
the time is the large sale of electric
al appliances, each season seeing an
unprecedented demand and a supply
that cannot meet the need. 1t is
stated by insurance interests as a
fact that about one hundred fires are
caused every day by electrical appli-
ances, and it is probably safe to be-
lieve that many more occur, altho
they are not reported because so

has undertaken to NEEDLE in politics,
and to defeat a candidate simply be-
cause he has preferred the interest
and welfare of the whole people to
those of a class or faction, it has
met with rebuke and humiliation. That
is partly because the American cleo
torate is a good deal bigger than the
American Federation of Labor, and
partly because the majority OF mem
bers of organized labor are, after
all, more devoted to the United States
of America than to their labor un-
ions. They are American citizens
first.
For their w sakes, then, more
than for any other reason, it is to be
hoped that Mr.. Gompers and the Fed
Grafton will not attempt to align them
selves in partisan politics. If they
did, they would simply injure them
selves far more than the candidates
against whom their hostility was di-
rected. And that would be a pity. We
cannot always agree with Mr.. Comp
ers or always approve the American
| Federation of Labor. Yet we gladly
testify that they have at times acted
very wisely and have rendered valu-
able services to the country; and we
must regard their potential value as
very great.
We should prefer to see them pur-
sue a course which would commend
them to public confidence and would
strengthen their influence for good,
rather than one which would surely
compromise and discredit them. Their
loss of credit and of prestige in Mas
sachusetts and Iowa was great, and
was deservedly great; and no true
friend of organized labor can wish
to see them repeat such Mistakes
