FRIDAY, APRIL 1ft 193ft JOURNAL. MACHINE GAMBLING LAKE CITY will collect 910 a month from each machine In the way of a license tax. This conclusion was reached by the license committee of the city council on the recommendation of the license assessor. This virtually amount to a permission to every owner iif a slot machine to run gambling at a coat of 10 a month. It legalises gambling to that extent. Discussing the matter editorially the Salt Lake Herald this uf morning says: Once In a while The Herald has had occasion te comment more or less facetiously on the city attorney's legal opinions, but it wishes to record most seriously Its spproval of that functionary's opinion on the slot machine. Asked whether it would be legal to license the slot machines, Mr. Dlnnlny ssys it would not he proper, because the machines are gambling devices. Obviously this is good law and good sense, despite Judge Diehl's famous ruling that slot machine gambling la not gambling when a man plays for punk cigars instead of for iiRHiey. Nut only are the machines gambling devices, but they are the must vicious t'P of gambling. They may or may nof give the player a fair chance to win. depending upon the honesty or avarica of the mqn whoi runs the game. They offer temptation to men of all classes, to boys or anybody who happens to ba convenient; and the man who happens to win la ahead only a few cigar which he doc not need. A half doaen open gambling houses would not do more harm or coat the community mure money than do these innumerable machines with their limitless opportunity or crooked manipulation. It la proposed to line the proprietors of places where the slot machines are Installed, because the city needs the revenue from lines. It would be much better to abolish the machines entirely and stop gambling entirely as the law demands. SALT slot ring. W -2 Hugs. TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION.

EMPLOYERS LIABILITY rmpluyrrs liability bill panned ,th Senate yes. and Is now ready for the signature of the 1reaklent. That signature Is all that la lacking now to transform the bill into a law of the land: This Is one of the measures so urgently Insisted upon in recent messages to Congress, and one In which labor unions havs taken so- deep an interest. The measure as it passed the Senate Is expected to meet the objections of the United States suprem court to tlia common carrier liability law of 1891. decided to be unoonetltutlonal by tlw court The bill abolishes the strict common law liability, which bars a recovery for personal Injuries or deafh of an employe occasioned by the negligence of a fellow servant It also relaxes the common law nils, which makes contributory negligence a defease to claims for such Injuries, and permits an employe to recover for an Injury caused by the negligence The bill does not bar recovery, even of a though the Injured one contributed, by his own negligence, to the Injury. The amount of the recovery is In the same degree that the negligence of the one contributed to the Injury. One serious objection raised against the bill Is that will take cases against corporations from the state It courts and transfer them to the federal courts making It more difficult and expensive In many cases for the Injured person to get Justice in the courts. This new law, If It should become a law with the signature of the president which seems certain, will be of importance to many In Ogden becauwe of the large railroad Interests centering here and because of the large number of nccidents that seem to be an unavoidable part of American railroading. THE - In-Ju- rd EMMA GOLDMAN GOLDMAN Is to lecture In Balt Lake City afternoon and night night and Sunday Special local Interest attaches to the Incident because of the message of President Roosevelt on the subject of anarchy and ths attention that Is likely to be devoted to the subject In Congress before the close of the present 4 session. Thl woman presents a serious problem to ths Bhs is a dangerous agitator who at all times sails close to the line of open anarchy. At any moment h Is liable to overstep the line and give rise to serious disturbances. She was recently deported but immediately found her way back Into tbs country and tho authorities found no power In tha law to. prevent her reentry. Liberty of speech Is a glorious privilege, hut there are those like Emma Goldman who persistently violate the privilege and still remain within the protection of the law. They are shrewd enough to entrench themeelves while at the same tim exposing their dupes to prosecution and at times to violent death. They Incite others to action but cover themeelves from the consequences of their own words. It la well that ths authorities at Balt Lake City are taking all needed precaution to guard against violence as Emma Goldman's utterances. It will be n the result-osore disappointment to the woman If them Is no outbreak of any sort as she depends largely upon outbreaks for her advertisements. EMMA f HARRIMAN la once In a while the around that EVERY Harriman Is to bestory passedthat his opunhorsed; ponents havs secured the whip hand on him and that his reign of power is over. These stories have hardly time to sink In before Harriman makes on of hla Napoleonic moves that drives hla enemies to utter route and places him In still more complete control of the facilities of the nation. greet Not long since the announcement was made that Harriman had secured a monopoly of the streetcar systems of Los Angeles and the surrounding territory. a deal In which was Involved the neat sum of I SO,000, 000. Then came the erpoit that ha had borrowed fSO.OOO.OOO on some of the railroad properties subsidiary to the Union Pacific by the Issuing of bonds And now comes story that h has secured the Erie end that lie will make of that famous road a link In his transcontinental systems; that hs will double track the Erie and transfer his business to that road from the Italtlmnre A Ohio. The first move In this direction was in the taking up of 95.500,000 of tha debts of ths Kris road. Harriman measured swords with no less a personage than Theodore Roosevelt. Bo far as the general public Is able to Judge he has received none the worst of the encounter. II goes right along making his combinations and carrying forward his gigantic enterprises, although at times ths whole world seems to frown down upon him. The only true solution for all this lies In the open admission that Edward H. Harriman Is a truly great man. trans-continent- al th, STAMP OUT ANARCHY will be no division of sentiment on the point by President Roosevelts last message. He asks Congress for more specific law to prohibit the passage through the malta of anarchistic publication. This action la the direct result of the discovery that "La Question Boclale." an Italian paper published at Patterson, New Jersey, was openly pleaching murder, arson and treason. Ae ncent Issue uf the paper was translated Into English and on the strength of the showing made the postmaster shut the paper out of the mall. The tragic fate of William McKinley Is stIU present In the minds of all Americans, especially men In high places. No doubt the recollection of the trageJy had much to do In prompting the President in urging the sub Ject o anarchy on the attention Congress at this time. Other and mors recent outbreaks in this country as elsewhere have been the cause of deep concern. Thla government would not be fit to survive did It not take every precaution to protect Itself and the citizens under Its flag from the assaults of anarchy either from within or without. The duty of Congress Is clear In the premises. The laws against admltlng an archlats Into the country and the lawa against admitting their preaching Into the mailg cannot be made too drastic, to suit the law abiding and liberty loving cltlsens of this nation. If the point of sensationalism is raised against President Roosevelt because o hls last message the answer will be found In the death of Abraham Lincoln, James A. Garfield and William McKinley. THERE IRISH HOME RULE elevation of Herbert Asquith to the premiership England as tha successor to Henry Campbell-Bannermnaturally raises ths question In tho minds of many as to what effect the change will have on ths question of home rule for Ireland. No other question In Engllxh politics appeals to so many persons in this country. Mr. Asquith favors horns rule for Ireland. We have his own word for this statement Leas than two weeks ago and after a long debate the House of Commons adopted by a vote of SIS to 157, a resolution by John E. Redmond, the Nationalist leader, that In the opinion of this house a sollutlon of this problem can only bo attained by giving the Irish people legislative and executive control of all purely Irish affairs." After It had been amended by adding the words, "all subject to th supremo authority of the Imperial parliament." At that ttme and In that debate Mr. Asquith announced that he was then and had for twenty years been In favor of home rule for Ireland. He was as strongly in favor of home rule then, he said, as he had ever been. He opposed the Redmond resolution on the ground that It contained no recognition of Imperial supremacy; and In hls opinion such ameasure before being finally acted upon should be submitted to a vote of the electorate. It would seem therefore, that the opposition of the new premier la not to the principle of home ule, but merely to the proper method of granting It Friends of this reform have no reason to ba discouraged because f the elevation of Asquith. THE an Makes the Biscuit and Cake lighter, finer flavored, more Is Ogden to become famous as a health resort? There are many reasons why It should. In addition to being blessed with the most dellghtul' climate on earth and tha moat health-- ul she has In her very boundaries as fine mineral waters as are found at any of the much advertised health reaorta And at last it seems o the country. that her name has gone abroad. At least during the week a real- - estate deal has been consummated wherein a large body of land lying directly south o the Ogden Sanitarium ha been sold to Colorado parties or tha purpose of; erecting cottages for those who may desire to partake of the medical qualities of the water which are found there. The land In queactlon comprises 1S1 lots In Knob Hill addition and the sale was made by Mrs. Ida B. Patton while In Colorado. The consideration Is not known hut It is generally kaown to run Into the thousands. It Is given on good authority that several cottages will h butit as soon as the present Htigatlon with the Sanitarium la Bat' i tled. Within a very short time the building of sidewalks will be on In earnest. Jurisdiction has already been acquired and Twenby the city on Twenty-fourt- h ty fifth streets for the extension of the walks from ths present boundary to Taylor avenue. To those who are familiar with the suburban streets it should be explained thatTaylor avenue la eleven blocks east from Washington avenue and that thla extension means that the fine homes on Knob Hill will soon be connected with the city by a 9 foot concrete walk. And then watch atrets where now you have to take the middle of the road to get around the sage brush and wild clover. An-- l yet some property owners object to increasing taxes for any purpoas. And some people- who havs property for sale object to these Improvements, wanting to shove the coat on those who might buy their property. But this class la getting scarce. And it means a bigger and better Ogden that It la aa A city la known by the local pride maniested, and Ogden people are demanding more and better The owners of the new addition whlrhwaa formerly known as the Orth estate are allowing the right spirit One year ago thla tract was SO acres of sags brush. Within that time several houses have been built and new streets hav been laid out Before the summer Is over It Is expected that the entire addition will be traversed by concrete walks and that the city will show Its apnreciatlon by grading Twenty second street on to Ogden Boulevard. nutritious 11) CREAM Made from pure Grape Cream of Tartar No alum No lime phosphate 5- -!
