Turning over the Christmas Wide
Awake, one is struck with the superior
quality of the serial stories. Boyesen's
"Sons of the Vikings" is both romantic
and realistic. w. o. Stoddard's "Gid
Granger" is true Yankee, all grit and
faculty and success. The opening chap
tiers of "wednesday the Tenth, by Grant
Allen, relate some remarkable adventures
of two Scocth boys among the islands of
the South Pacific. Santa Claus on
Vegetable Cart" is first-class Christ
mas story, fresh, natural, with homely
healthful pathos. Howard Pyle contrib
utes striking story upon which read
ers are to vote, prizes to be awarded to
the best arguments on both sides as the
story has question for title: Lamb
kin; was he hero or prig?" "The
Red Velvet Pig" will amu:e the little peo-
pie, and so will Mr.. Bridgman's funny
"Puk- Wudjies." Lieutenant Hamilton
the Military Instructor at Peekskill, tells
the boys how to built a military snow
fort. One of the best things in the num-
Der is the opening paper of another series
Confessions OF an Amateur Photograph
err" by Alexander Black; humorous, with
photographs by amateurs. The illus
trated poems are by Frances L. Mace and
Eli Sheppard. Men and Things" is
rich with anecdote. A certain picture
page, What Mary said at our enter
tainmcnt," is worth the price of the
number.
Wide-Awake is $40 year. D. 10th
rop Company, Publishers, Boston.
Nathaniel P. Willis" is the theme of
r. H. Stoddard's latest study of Ameri-
can authors. This paper is one of a SER
les of critical articles which Mr.. Stod-
dard has contributed to Lippincott's, all
of which have peculiar value, owing to
the writer's personal acquaintance with
the subjects of his sketches. Willis, who
has fallen into comparative obscurity,
certainly enjoyed most brilliant past,
past which Mr.. Stoddard resuscitates
for us in very entertaining and interest
ing manner.

The Burlington has issued a big edition
of an expert report on Newcastle coking
coal. Prof. H.. NJ. Chance of Phiiadel-
phia made a thorough examination of
the field and tested large quantities of the
coal. Alter demonstrating hat good
coke can be produced cheaplY, he says:
After you have had a number of ovens
steadily at work for some time you will
produce handsomer and better looking
coke than | have made. | have not made
the best coke that can be made from your
coal, but | have simply shown you how
to make 1t. You cannot expect the best
results at the first trial. But | wish here
to say most emphatically that the coke
actually made and shipped to you is en-
tirely satisfactory and is adapted to every
possible use that coke is put to, and no
improvement is necessary or needed.
No hand picking or mechanical epara
ton of your coal into different grades will
be necessary. You can use either slack
coal or lump coal, bat it is a matter of
importance that the fire clay and any
large nodules of sulphur" should be re.
moved. This can be readily and cheaply
done by passing the slack coal down ill.,
clined shutes with boys or men stationed
along them TO pick out these impurities
by hand. Washing or iiggiDg of your
coal is not necessary, as the coal can be
cleaned by the above method. The
miner should of course be required to
exercise proper care in mining and load
ing to prevent mixture of fire clay with
slack coal.

The committee OF conductors having
grievances demanding adjustment con.
ferred with Vice President Holcomb and
General Manager Dickinson at Unicn
Pacific headquarters to day.
The matter under consideration has spe.
cial reference to three thinSs-increaso OF
wages, less mileage and more train crews.
The men ask that their running time
between Omaha and North Platte be re.
duced from $500 to $500 miles per
month for each man. and secondly that
their salaries re advanced from $l2O to
1925 and $l3O per month.
II these propositions are accedcd to it
will require the addition of four more
crews aud a much greater increase in the
wages.
Salaries are based on the number of
niles M. Estimated, therefore, upon
that DGi>, n reduction OF 900 miles to
the man and an IL rease of pay would be
equivalent to at least 80 more per man
than each nov receives.
The officials claim that this is hardly
justified. They contend that the Union
Pacific is giving its employees better treat
mcnt and more pay than any other road
in the country.

The absurdity as well as diabolism
of this falsehood is clear. The Of
Tense had already been given pub
Lefty by the Church court, and
s'the Saints" had no more interest
in the case. The individual was no
longer a member of the communi-
ty.
The organ of vice re-asserts its
former statements which We COM
pletely refuted, and We defy it to
furnish names or proof in reference
to the case wherein il says a woman
who was confined in the penitenti-
AIRY refused to disclose the paternity
Of her child for an immoral reason.
This and its other ISLANDERS are ut
terly untrue.
There are men prominent in the
"Libersl'' Party who have shown
almost unparalleled opposition to
the Church, but who have never
attempted 10 accuse the community
Of sexual impurity. On the con-
trary they have commented official
i on the repugnance with which
the Saints view sexual sins, and on
the fact that almost universally the
associations Of the sexes have been
within the lines of their marital re-
lations. Among those who have
thus spoken are Mr.. w. II. Dickson,
Mr.. &. 5. Varian, and later, Mr.. L.
b. Critchlow. Their statements are
Of recuri and can be quoted If
necessary. These men are well in
formed on the subject, and neither
Of them surely can be accused OF
prO-"Mormon" disposition.

SPECIAL School TAXES.

THE suit planted by the taxpayers
of the Seventh School District isOne
thatiuleres.s ali the people OF Salt
Lake City. Every school district
in which 4 special school tax has
been assessed Should, in our oPin-
ion, take part in the contest. An
invitation has been offered to them
10 join in the request that the court
set aside the special taxes in each
School D.s.ric. within the city lin
it..
The levy was male in error. II
was supposed that the amount
which would be raised would sim
ply NEST the needs Of the respective
Districts, under the old school
law ani the old valuation of prop
erty. BIT the new school law
changed the conditions,and the new
revenGe law helped 70 change the
valuations, while the assessors ran
up the assessments 10 ba loon
figures, aud thus the tax Is intended
to be only sufficient for present
needs have been made exorbitant,
unjust ami oppressive.
Also the School Districts have been
Joined, 50 that they are now one
District, aud while these tremend-
Gus taxes are to be collected in Ger
tain paris thereof, other parts will
have no specia! tax to pay, but will
receive the benefit Of the taxes
forced from the other parts Of the
new District.
This IS manifssly unfair and
strikes at that equality before the
law ami uniformity of taxation
which are essential TO lawful taxa
ton. Courts may set aside assess
ments made 10y mistake or founded
in fraud. They may take cogni-
zlnce Of changed conditions, and
rule in equity in the public inter
est.
It Is hoped and believed that these
improper assessments will be set
aside, in view OF these facts and
principles, aud considering that by
the regular levy fjr school taxes
under tue territorial law, and the
extreme values placed upon prop
erty, there viii be ample funds to
clrry on tie public schools under
the B)srI of Education for salt
Lake City.
What is done by the other Dis
triets sholll be done quickly, as the
suit has been commenced, and
some geasrI All united action
ought in our opinion TO be taken at
once in relation to the matter.
