All at once rumors began to float about that somestatement thing was wrong In the bank. Then an official was given out that some 142,000 In cash had been stolen from the strong box of the vault, where it had been held in reserve. Statement! followed each other in rapid succession that the theft was to be probed to the bottom and that the thieves were to be prosecuted to the extent of the law. In order to leave no possible avenue for the guilty to escape, the Pinkertons were called In and put to work on the case. Time passed and every employ in tha bank was under suspicion. Then snot her official statement was given nut that the theft in reality had been 1106.250, but that W. B. Me. Comtek, the president of tha bank, and Joseph Nelson, the of the bank, had put money Into the Insticover to all the loss but about 142.000. tution At this point stagnation seems to have settled down upon all concerned. Aa yet no thief has been arrested. The greet rinkertona are completely baffled so far aa the public at large Is permitted to know, and the bank continues to do business at tha old stand. The final development wae the announcement made end one yesterday that Joseph Nelson, the was from to his the of directors, position at the resign nest meeting of the board, April I. This statement is coupled with the Intimation that other Important changes would take place In the bank. These are mere Incidents. The point In which the ' public 4s interested, and the point upon . which they arc ' entitled to Information, In the clearing up of the mystery end the punishment of the guilty. Thla bank that wae robbed la a national bank. To that extent It Is a public Institution, and the public has a right to know whether an Institution run under th sanction of the federal government and subject to examination by federal officials can be gutted In thla way without anyone being the wiser, or without anyone being punished for the crime. Any man who runs may read that in thla Utah National Bank acandal some wrongdoer is being shielded and protected. Why? clt'r' nt nt TINKERING WITH THE TARIFF. would be the Irony of fate if the Republicans should take the Issue of tariff reform away from the Democrats. And It begins to look that way. President Rosevelt In hla Inst message took a long step In tha direction of tariff revision. The Republicans of Ohio, loWa and Illinois In their state conventions take practically the same ground. There la a saving clause In all the promises the Republicans are making for an overhauling of the tariff schedules they Wilt do nothing with It until after the presidential campaign la disposed of. and they wish It understood that the tariff la to be reformed by Its friends. These are comforting assurances to the beneficiaries of the present rates. They give them an opportunity to see to It that so far as their power goes, none hut good friends of thla tariff shall be chosen this year. After that hae been attended to they will see to It that the tariff Is revised in the right way. Tou know, tariff can be reformed up or It can b reformed down. At any rate the tariff Isue Is forging to the front and can not be put aside longer.

An election has Just been held In the Peckham district In London for a member of parliament. Two years ago the district gave a Liberal majority of 2.29. This wae reversed the other day and a majority of 2.494 east against the Liberals. The reverse is due wholly to the liquor question. The governments licensing bill provided for th closing of 22,000 saloons In fourteen years. The Conservatives arose to a man to protect the workingman's beer. It was held that the Liberals were attacking vested rights. The clergy of the established church fought aide by side with the brewers and under th same banner, and the drink trade won a great victory. set-bac- AUTOMOBILE RACE GDEX has been 'particularly fortunate In being on the main highway in the automobile rue from New York to Paris. Interest has centered In Ogden more tlian in any other point for a thousand miles because It was at this point the racers came closest together. Citizens of Ogden have had the pleasure of wltnesaing the American car pass through on its way to the Pacific coast; they have welcomed the Italian and French cars and wished them good speed on their Journey: and now they stand ready to extend courtesies to tha German car. Tlie State Journal offers no apologies fur the amount f space it has given to the telling of the progress of these racers, or to th care with which it has detailed from day to day the progress made in the race. The interest in the The Chicago Tribune says: race Is international. in every city along the rout the story has been the same. The welcoming crowds have been large. The escorting automobile clubs have been active. The contestants have been overwhelmed with courtesies and encouraged by the car good wishes of many thousands. That the American was able to cross the continent first la fitting. That ll was able to finish Its Journey In the winter time and after long necessary deviations from the stralghtest route In less than ten days longer than the beat record time made under the moat favorable circumstances speaks much for the grit and energy of those who drove It."

W. Btevena by Koreans In California; the suppression of tha Italian paper In Patterson by the postmaster general because It waa advocating murder as a political weapon; the frightful bomb incident in New York on Saturday, and the blowing up of the bouse of Bulkley Wells In Tellurlde. Colorado, on the same day-- all these polntlhg in the same direction giv rise to serious forebodings. In It la said In extenuation of the New York that the police had been unusually sever In handling the crowd and that thia waa Bllveratelne excuse for trying to blow an entire squadron of officers Into eternity. This does not explain why the Russian had a bomb concealed under hla coat at this particular time. He did not manufacture the bomb, surely, after the police hatj hustled the crowd. The evidence le clear that thla man was an anarchist, and the fart that there are such men In the country presents one of the serious problems of the day. When criin after crime is committed; when these crimes are widely separated as to place; when they would all seem to have tha sam common origin In anarchy In contempt for authority, for law and for human life It la high time to pauae and ascertain. If possible, if we in America are not drifting In the wron gdirectlon, and going at a pace that la certain to bring dire results In an In, credibly short time. f la it a fact that the growth of anarchy In America Is keeping pace perfectly with the growth of the great Industrial corporations? Does contempt for law on the part of thg rich and the powerful give rise to the same contempt In the minds of the poor and Ignorant?. An abiding faith In the good sense and loyalty'of the American people Is a comfortable anchor In Just such times aa these. All will work out for the best in time, but it is sad that the Innocent must suffer and die In the process. bomb-throwi- GREAT IS IDAHO A LL THE WORLD knows of the great projects Idaho has worked out for the Irrigation of arid lands. When Washington Irving wrote of Idaho he considered It a waste, no part of which would ever be brought under cultivation. Modern enterprise hae made the great Irving out to be a false prophet. Twin Phils. Mined oka, Payette and other great irrigation projects In Idaho are known throughout the civilised world. The Snake river hae been utilised over and over again, until It would seem that every gallon of water that flows through the magnificent stream la made to do full duty In making a garden spot of the Gem State, And now comes the greatest Irrigation project of them alL A company has seggre gated 150.000 seres of fine land under the Carey act The land Is all In one body and Ilea admirably for Irrigating purposes. It was passed by by the early Irrigators. They could see no way for getting water upon the land. Then stepped forward J. E. Hays, an engtneer. and showed them how a dam could be built In a canyon, a dam 200 feet high and em pounding the Salmon river; then he showed them how tunnel could be bored through the solid rock, a tunnel ten feet In diameter. This plan was adopted and the work Is going forward at such a rate that by May 1 the waters of the Salmon will be ready for distribution over 80.000 acres of this land. The dam la one of the highest In the world, and ultimately the whole 150,000 acres will be brought under cultivation. This Is enterprise. This la an exhibition of nerve, and It will win.
