county commissioners Of Utah county

TO PRISON FOR WITcHcRAFT
Canadian Authorities Revive Ancient
Statute That VIII Appear Absurd to
Modern Understanding.

II has been a little more than 200
years since anyone was convicted Of
witchcraft on this continent, says the
Columbus Dispatch, and we supposed
that there would never again be any
more convictions. But II seems that
such prosecutions have been revived,
for here comes a report from a Cana
dian court to the eject that a young
woman over there has lately been SEN
fenced 10 prison for "practicing witch
craft" for all the world like the ac-
cusations that used to be filed against
people In this country.
The young woman in this case
claimed to be able to tell who commit
ted a certain theft in her neighborhood.
She said a farmers oats had been
stolen by man and boy; that they
drove bay mare, and proceeded west
ward after the robbery, and that they
would be found at certain place,
about 40 miles away. The officers
found her story to be true, and ar
rested the parties who robbed the
farmer. but as the young woman who
gave the information was In no po-
sitlon 10 know the facts she related
except through communing with "the
spirits" people began talking about
her being witch, with the result that
an ancient statute was invoked and
the girl prosecuted and sent to jail
for her pains In aiding the officers Of
the law. II It were not all duly record
ed In the newspapers we could not be-
Ileve II.

JAPAN REALLY BACK NUMBER
Writer Brings Forward Arguments 10
Prove That the Chinese Are the
More Progressive.

II may strike the western reader az
simply funny. but more than one Chi.
nese friend has assured me that II is
the Japanese people who are really
conservative. And they back up their
assertion by evidence other thnn the
way IN which Japan has chung through
all historic vlcissltudes. TO a primitive
theocracy, John Dewey writes In Asia
Magazine. They point out, for exam
pie that thousand years ago the Jap
anese borrowed the present style Of
clothing and Of household furnishing,
Of sitting and sleeping on mats, from
China; that China has changed sew
eral times, moving constantly In the d.
rectlon Of practical utility. Of lngeni-
Gus adaptation OF means to needs. The
II is doubtless the most extensive In
the world in the variety OF material
employed for food, and also the most
varied In its combinations. Academic
analysis may despise arguments drawn
from food, clothing, shelter and fur
nishIngs. But when one notes the va
riety and ingenuity Of the processes
and appliances used In daily life and In
the crafts. one is certain that the Chi
nese mind Is naturally observant and
adaptive. But It seems unnecessary to
labor the question. Many charges have
been brought against the Chinese, but
no one has ever accused them Of stu
pldity. Their undoubted conservatism
is something to be explained rather
than an explanation Of anything.

SAYS CITY OR
STATE MUST own
TROLLEY LINES

New Haven, July Sit has got to
come to either state ownership or
municipal ownership" said Mayor
Fitzgerald yesterday in, discussing the
trolley situation but he qualified the
statement by saying that such COM
munistic principle would not be nee
essary of operation if the trolley peo-
pie could show that they could make
the roads pay.
The mayor again stated his belief
that a five cent fare within the city
limits was worth a trial and thought
it could be demonstrated as a paying
proposition.
1.-THE confidence Of the people in the
trolley company is gone" said the
mayor. Whether right or not the
public do not give to them the conf
dence which ordinarily should be
given to public servants. The COM
pany is now in the hands Of trustees
and while I do not reflect on their
management j think it would be better
if the management were closer to the
people,
1T is unfortunate the public has no
confidence in the trolley and I am
sorry it is so, but the fact remains we
must renew our faith in the trans
portadon system, and if it cannot be
Established otherwise the state or
the city must take hold of it. be-
