4 THE OGDEN STANDARD. OGDEN, UTAH, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1913.
To put style in a sweater real beauty through
scientific shaping, designing and knitting, is a matter
calling tor particular skill. We have found a sweater
manufacturer who out-classes all others on these points
and this is the only store in your town here where they
are sold.
We want you to call and see the difference be
tween these and ordinary ones. There's a good saving
in price waiting for you here, too.

I Tf! -HIGGINBOTHAM
AS A
BLACKMAILER.
jf Joseph E. Hlgginbotham. 1750
Washington avenue, arrested on the
y 1 charge of writing a blackmailing let
ter to his cousin. Harold J. Peery,
should be examined as to his sanity.
If a Joke, the whole affair was with
out humor; as a serious attempt to
extort money. It was crudely executed.
Some times men, ordinarily of good
E moral suasion, are carried away by
M community excitement and, through
Buggeetlon, are led to do criminal acts
foreign to their natures. Either Jo
seph Hlgginbotham is a man of that
character or he is somewhat unbal
anced.
There can be no connection of
this case with that of the blackhand
ere who have terrorized Ogden's
wealthy people. The bandits who
have operated so successful give every
indication of craftiness and determl
nation, In both of which qualities Hlg
ginbotham absolutely deficient.
When the newspaper men of Ogden
and Salt Lake were callod In by
Postofflce Inspector McGee last week
and under pledge of secrecy Informed
of Higglnbotham's 6tronge conduct,

MEN WHO ARE ABOVE
PARTY POLITICS.
Joseph H. Choate, former ambassa
dor to Great Britain, proves himself
sufficiently patriotic to forget that he
Is a partisan when his country is
involved In a serious misunderstand
ing with a foreign country. He
spoke before the New York Chamber
of. Commerce last week and, touching
on the Mexican situation, said:
"I should like to talk about our
policy In the matter If I knew what
it was. There Is only one man who
does know and he is wisely keeping
his mouth shut tight. But I want
to say there is one duty for every
one of us to perform and that Is to
stand by the president.
"He has information., doubtless, that
no gentleman here tonight has and
he Is for keeping the peace. Ws
must stick by him through thick and
thin and we will come out all right
In the end
"This president of ours has been
in office now for nine months and he
has been working very hard, with tho
most honest purpose in the world and
with, as I believe, no desire In his
heart except to serve the American
people with the beBt of his abllltv
and he has accomplished a great
deal."
That Is the right spirit. It is In
pleasing contrast with the whine oJ
John Hays Hammond, who seeks to
discredit tho administration by stat
Ing he would not Invest a dollar in a
foreign country while our foreign af
fairs are in the hands of the present
administration.

THE CHASE AFTER THE
MURDERER
Hunting a desperate criminal is
not an exciting game entirely devoid
of danger, as those who have been
! trailing Ralph Lopez, tho murderer
have learned since the Mexican fled
from Bingham. Lopez has killed three i
j officers and, In his 100 miles of trav-
el before the pursuing posses, ho hae j

they had him bottled up.
Experienced officers claim that
one well armed fugitive, capable or I
hitting a mark with fair accuracy,
has an advantago that cannot be ov
ercome by five equally well equipped
men In pursuit.

THE AMERICAN WOMAN
HAS CHANGED.
A defense of womnnkind and n re
senting of the charge that women are
"helpless parasitical dependents," ap
pears In tho December Century. The
writer presents the modern American
woman as an Independent Individual
"It isn't the fault of tho American
woman that sho is marrying loss fre
quently and nnmarrylne more fre
quently." says tho Century
"It's the fault of the American man.
Once a rich man supposed himself to
hav. the privileges of a Red Rover
He believed that all he had to do was
to throw his handkerchief at a worn
an, or slap her on the cheek, and she
would humbly and thankfully become
his wife Now that sort of man mere
ly bores a woman. And she's not go
ing to pretend that ho doesn't.
"The modern wife wants a husband
who has read Brieux and Arthur
Schnltzler. Sho wants him to know
the paintlncs of Matisse She looks
for a cultivated taste In music, an
Interest in chamber concerts. For
the woman of today Is caught In all
the cultural currents, all the new so
cial movements T believe, Indeed,
that she Is more response e to them
than the men."

WHAT 18 THE MEANING
OF SABOTAGE?
What Is the definition of sabotage?
That is a question directed at us
The literal meaning is the making
of sabots, but. as interpreted by tho
French labor agitators, it Is the doing
of work by an employe so as to in
jure the industrial plant of the em
ployer. The word is from the French and
the system of damaging property in
order to win labor demands originated
with French waiters who, having their
grievances disregarded, proceeded to
have many "accidents" occur In the
establishments rejecting their de
mands. The campaign they carried
on proved bo destructive and unnprv
lng that their employers yielded Since
then sabotage has been recognized
as a weapon of certain branches
of organized labor In France.
The I W. W. organization in tho
United States accepts sabotage and
has attempted to appeal that de
structlve policy.

LOVE OF MONEY 01
OF THE SINS THAT

Miss Beatrice Hamll reudered the

Prenbytorlan church.
Speaking on "The Sins That Cru
