Best Shot in the Army.

From letter received by Lieut.. L. r.
Hare, the department inspector of rifle
practice, it is learned that the best individ-
hal score thus far reported during the
present year is that made by Maj Andrew
s. Burt, Eighth infantry, who has a ma.
tional reputation as crack shot, and
is now stationed at Fort Bidwell, Cal.
The records show that he has made a
perfect score (1OO) at each Of the 200, 500,
600 and SOO-yard ranges, SO at the 3O0-yard
and % at the 1,O00-yard range, making a
total OF 594 out OF a possible 600,or 90 per
cent. The total Is slightly in excess OF the
score made last season at Fort Missoula,
Mont, by Lieut.. NJ. c. Wilkinson, Third
infantry, who headed the list OF sharp
shooters with IL percentage OF 1922. =

of that paper. 1t was clear, correct and
convincing; in fact it was pure white
article, pure and white as the robes OF
the angels.when they hymn forth their
mathis in praise of their Maker Itspoke
OF Bishop Sharp's case, case the most
important of its kind that has yet occurred
in Utah, in this language: "After all,
when one for moment frees his mind
from the social, religious and political
turmoil and strife that, like the poor, are
always with US here in Utah, and con-
templates the situation and surroundings
and prospects coolly and intelligently, he
cannot help the feeling that it is good to
be here?'" If we do not misconstrue
the Herald's language we should say that
such is the case exactly. Perhaps no
more intelligent and incisive sentence
was ever written concerning the Utah
question and Bishop Sharp's attitude in
relation thereto, than the above from the
Herald. That judgment on the Sharp
case is not of time but of eternity, if Car
lyle is correct when he says that speech
is OF time, but silence is OF eternity.

and Manning been at the head OF the
Treasury in 1865, :" the nations debt would
have been repudiated and the credit OF
the United States have been the lowest
among civilized nations? Surely Secre-
tary Manning has nowhere, either in
speech or action, SO far as We can dis
cover, ever given any reason to think that
he was repudiator or inclined to dis
grace the nation by such course. Such
statement about Secretary Manning
is simply libel, and without any
foundation whatever That the Secre-
tary of the Treasury does not see the sill
yer question in the same light that the
Tribune does is scarcely sufficient ground
upon which to charge him with being one
who would have repudiated the national
debt in 1865 had he been in the same po-
sition that he now is. We may be wrong
in attributing the Tribm,e's charge against
the Secretary to difference between
that paper and him as to the silver ques-
ton, but if we are wrong in so doing, we
desire to be put right and to know the
true cause for making so grave charge
against so prominent Cabinet officer.

JUSTLY AsToNIsHED.

This mornings Herald says: "The
Herald is astonished to learn that a mis-.
construction has been placed upon some
OF the language used in an article in these
columns last Saturday morning, speaking
OF Bishop Sharp's case" The Herald is
very properly astonished that a miscon-
struction has been placed upon some of
the language used in its article of Satur.
day morning. That misconstruction
should be placed upon the Herald's lam
guage does not astonish us so much as
the fact that any construction at all
could be placed upon it. As we read
and re-read the article to discover the
opinion OF the Herald upon a question
which was agitating the entire Territory.
the conclusion that its language was
mild and blissful, without object or ar
gument, such as lisping babe might
have readily eomprehended, came inyoi-
UNFAIRLY and irresistiblv into our mind.
The mild and non-commital language OF
the Herald on Saturday morning in regard
to the Sharp case was only surpassed in
manner by its article of Sunday morning
on the same question. The Herald's
article of Sunday morning on the Sharp
case was probably the most powerful.

that ever appeared on the editorial page

Agents Declining to Handle Grants
Book,

There is some trouble between the
publishers of Grants book and their
agents. In one case large agency has
been thrown up. The delay in the pub
lication of the book has brought about
some serious complications which may
considerably reduce the sum which it
was expected the estate would derive
from the work. The first volume is to be
out in December and the second in
March following. The delay is long
one, and it would be very difficult to sus-
tain the public interest in any book for
that length of time. Another important
factor has been the price of the Grant
book to agents. As usual thing the
general agents OF subscription book get
a discount OF from go to 70 per cent, gem
orally the latter. They in turn give in
dividual agents about 35 per cent. In the
case of the Grant Memoirs, the general
agents receive 40 per cent. and only 25
per cent. is allowed individual agents.
The difference is sufficiently large to pre-
vent any active bidding by agents and
this, combined with the delay, has made
the sale drag.

FINANCIAL NONSENSE.

The Tribune OF this city seems to have
gone crazy over the currency question.
and only this morning has the following
TO say concerning Secretary Manning:
The Chicago Current says it is a year since
Secretary Folger died, and looks upon his
death as the greatest catastrophe which ever
fell upon the industries of the country. 1t
declares that mot penny of the nations
debt has been paid since" The Current is
almost if not quite right. Under Mccullough
up to March 4th, and under Manning since,
the finances of the country have been turned
over to men who believe that the debt never
should be paid but should be held for the
benefit of bondholders and national banks.
Had Folger lived and held his office until to-
day, there would have been 800 OOO, 900 more
in circulation and the Government would
be paying interest on S10O, 100000 less than
1t is. Had such men as Mccullough and
Manning been at the head of the Treasury
in 1866, the whole debt would have been
repudiated and our credit abroad would
have been the lowest among civilized ma
tions.

| ITO be true Odd Fellow is to be o true man"
| REV. H. w. EVANS.
Last Tuesday afternoon d. B. Long,
p. G. NJ, of Ellsworth, Kansas, by
directions of G. NJ. of the /. 0. o. T.
of this state organized Sunlight Lodge
No. 273 at Colby, and installed the
following officers for the ensuing
term, viz: S. c. Mills, n. G.; H. f..
Flora, V. g.; H. +. Weld, S.; and A. j:
Senter, T. Besides the above named
persons the charter members are
j d. Bean, N. H. Porter, A. G. Ed
dy, A. j. Eddy and D. NJ. Dunn. As
soon as the lodge was in running Or
der nine new members were received
into full membership, viz: W. G. Por-
ter, n. j. Adams, NJ. d. Lessenger,
W. w. Walker, j. B. Wheeler, A. r.
Berry, f. P. Greene, w. H. Kingery
and l. II. Buffers. Five other appli-
cations were receiv ed and accepted,
but owing to absence of candidates,
membership was deferred until future
time. The lodge has purchased
very handsome outfit and were highly
praised by Mr.. Long for good work
and general appearance. There is no
reason why Sunlight Lodge should
not prove to be one of the best lodges
in the State. In fact it is believed
that the lodge will number over fifty
members before the close of the pres
ent term. The organization has de-
cided to receive members at reduced
rates for the next thirty days in Or
der that the membership may be in
creased to goodly number as soon as
possible, and that those who have en-
terprise enough about them to help
build up a lodge in new country
may reap some special benefits there
from. Anyone who has had anything
to do with the building up Of any Or
ganization in new country knows
the difficulty under which we must
labor; but on the other hand We must
say the future prospect for the lodge
at Colby is exceedingly brilliant. Ten
months ago Colby existed on paper
alone. To-day she is thriving coun-
ty seat of four hundred inhabitants,
and the fact that an organization of
Odd Fellows such as we have describ-
ed has been instituted within her Dor
ders shows that her citizens have not
come here to sit on the stool and do
nothing, but on the contrary are men
of enterprise and wide awake to the
interests of themselves and their fell
low men,
