IIow cheaply some men seem to hold human life seems to be illustrated in the murder' of Thomas n. McGillis, an itinerant salesman of .novelties, byAlfred Sorensen, a Salt Lake jeweler. The beginning of the trouble was when McGillis rented a window adjoining the jewelry store in" which to demonstrate the utility of a new collar button, and attracted so mueh attention and made so many sale-- as to arouse Sorensens jealous anger, who caused Ihe arrest of an assistant of McGillis who was alleged to' be selling the buttons onjbe sidewalk, contrary to .ordinance. Words passed between the men and Sorensen, drawing a revolver, began to shoot; witnesses say, entirely without justification. Wounded by the first shot, his unarmed victim threw up his hands and begged for his life; but his pleas seemed to serve but to further infuriate his slayer, who would not be content until he had emptied his gun into his victims body. Four shots he had already fired, either one of three of which would have proved fatal, and only a knockout hlow given hy an officer prevented him irom firing the fifth and last.. Death was almost instantaneous. Sorensen, .obtaining permission, first locked up' his wares, then coolly prepared to go to jail, nis plea is self defense and it remains to he seen whether, by the various procrastinations and circumlocutions of criminal law and practice as witnessed in Utah, this man Sorensen shall escape his just deserts, as other murderers Jiave escaped them. Plea will be made for the sake of his young wife; but the other man also had a young wife and babes, and for them there is no consolation, no hope of mercy. They are at least entitled to justice, and for the safety of the people generally the lesson should be impressed that for all the ordinary disagreements in life a legalremedy h provided to which appeal may be made; that no man is justified in taking the faw into his Qwn hands, and least of all ean he be justified in taking human life in a quarrel over a petty business disagreement ;and finally, thatjwhen hejhas done so. the onTy'dufy remaining to hinvls'to' vvrife hls will and prepare to die, for' death should he his certain fate. , E DISASTERS old saying, worse things Lave hap pened sea," cannot be applied to the Titanic disaster, which is by far the worst thing that ever happened at sea, and it is to be hoped will forever be the record. But it is by nj means the greatest calamity that has befallen mankind. The Salt Lake Telegram thus summarizes gome of the greater ones: We say the loss of the Titanic was the most terrible .catastrophe that there is any reeord of, but imagine what would happen should an earthquake take up its march under New York or under London, such1 an earthquake as that of Lisbon, where 7000 people died every moment for ten minutest In Lisbon they had just completed a great stone pier which was the pride of the nation. Upon this lQ.OOQ people ran outforgafety. Suddenly it disappeared and sank so deep thht not one body ever came to the surface. There are sixty fathoms of water over where" it stood. A great church festival was, going on, the big cathedral was filled by the aristocracy of Lisbon. Outside their carriages- - werestandingThe cathedral was a moment converted into a heap of ruins jn 'and some. of those horses-stothere' until they-fell dead of gtarvatiom-S- o many, had been killed, so utterly paralyzed were those who remained; that not one thought was taken of those poor animals, where they could to eat or drink. In 1892 or 1893 the British government in India closed the mints of that country. In a few months in 1893 two million - people died there of starvation-becaus- e they could not convert their bangles and their silver trinkets into rupees to buy food. In London in 1664-6- 5 a plague-whk- h had f marked its way all the. way from India killed 68,596 persons in a few weeks. In 1662 a plague was brought from Sardinia to Naples, from which 400,000 people of France died in six months, and the statistics are filled with similar accounts and with greater mprtality in the earlier ages of the World, and all these things are reminders that no matter what precautions men may t take, human life is about the most uncertain od -- thing. in the-wor- ld. the son. Back tobaekrto tbe soH u-e- ry rings louder and ouder as economists call attention to the increasing congestion !n cities, of. a population that cannot ind adequate sustenance, and the growing discrepancy between the production of agricultural products and the rapid increase of population, all tending to higher prices and added cost of living. Back to the soil is a fine idea, hut its profitable acceptance is limited,-I- n the first sucno one hut ever the of Utah lace, pioneers ceeded and thyjuily because it was a case, of root hog or farmings without and suffered capital, hardships that today they " would be considered unendurable. - Even if a man who would be a farmer succeeds in finding land on which he can file, he must have a team, wagon, farming implements, enongh to build a home and to maintain him until he can jreak his land and raise his first crop; and this makes no- - provision-- f or thecost in Jabor .or mouey-- of water, if the land is to be irrigated. his means that in the occupation previously engaged in, he must have been fairly successful; and by the same token, that unless he feels a special aptitude for," and calling to the rural, attend to hfe, he had better stick to his last t ie class Of knitting with which he is familiar. The editor of the Salt Lake Telegram says upon his phase of the subject: But anybody, can go on a farm, and that is one reason why the farm employee has never had a great reputation, because not one man in twenty can ever be a good farmer, not one man in forty can ever be much 'of a farmerr not one man in a hundred has the perseverance, the skill of reducing means - to ends and meeting emergencies, and those who have not these are not fit to be on a farm. If a man says he. wants to go on 9 farm he ought to be put through an examination. It should! be something like this: Do you know how to plow? Do you know how to sow rutabaga seed - Do you know howto milt a cowl t Do you know any- thing about horses? Do you know anything of soils, what soil would be good for one cropr and not for another? Do you know anything5 about trees and how they should be treated? . Are you fond of the business? 'Would you be willing to sit up' all night with a sick horse ? ' ' to feed a horse or to Do you know harness a horse right? - D you possess that faculty which will win to you the affection ! of a horse Or dog What time do you want . to get up and go to work in the morning? Do . you work at night until everything is fixed up if intakes until 9 oclock. Do you know how to make a fence? Do you know how t6 irrigate land? . Do you know when it has pnoughmoisture ? Do you .like to quarrel- with your neighbors? Would you fight with a shovel over a water right to which you hqd but an lhdifferenttitle?
