should both so desire let them prepare to
hold joint primary meetings, which
meetings shall provide Tor a city fusion
convention for the purpose Of nominating
fusion candidates?
It occurs to me that if you expect to
meet with success in this matter you can
not afford to ignore the masses, but must
let the people speak through primaries.
This is American politics.
The foregoing is given prominence be-
cause it expresses the views of number
of our citizens whose opinions, even
though we may not agree with them, are
entitled to respect. The writer of the
letter IS an old and staunch Democrat and
naturally leans to Democratic methods in
the determination of any important pub
lie question, and that is one reason why
his mind reverts to primaries where the
will of the public may be expressed. He
asks whether it would not be well for the
two real political parties to decide as to a
fusion.
There is nothing that we know of to
prevent action by those parties, looking
to snch an end, except that large num-
Der of both Democrats and Republicans
are already strongly in favor of move
ment from which party considerations
shall be excluded. They do not favor a
fusion of the two parties, but they do
favor a general movement independent OF
party organizations such as that now in
progress.
The method adopted at the citizens
meeting did not meet the minds OF all
who were present. but large majority
believed that in view of the peculiar con-
diticns, and the possibility of primaries
being packed with an undesirable ele-
ment. seeing that no party was behind
the movement 1t would be decidedly
better to have a committee make the
| nominations than to risk the snap judg-
ment OF mass primaries not regulated by
any party restrictions.
The masses of the people must not and
cannot be ignored. This is a free country.
Nothing stands in the way of any number
of meetings, either OF parties or of the
general public, to consider the situation
and take such steps as may be deemed de-
sirable. And the masses will not and
cannot be ignored at the polls. 1t will be
votes that will determine this issue. To
that complexion will it come at last.
The main thing to be considered is the
ticket that will be framed, On that will
depend the judgment of the masses. They
will not support mere money bags COM
bination, no matter how it Is made up.
Nor will they, in our opinion. ignore the
financial and commercial interests on a
general citizens ticket. They will look
for all interests to be represented. And
they viii be considerate enough to make
10 unreasonable demand as to any par
ticular class. If the ticket names the
right kind of men to form our municipal
government, we are of the opinion that it
will gain the support Of the masses, and,
therefore, will succeed. If not, then
other steps will be taken. The people
are determined to have decent and capa-
bic set OF city officers, and they will see
to it that nothing less is forthcoming in
November. We are still of the opinion
that we should wait and watch for the
ticket

some time by the citizens of Salt Lake

some time been engaged in the-to them
pleasant pastime of taxing the people
to death.
/ have been waiting to see the two
organized parties named above take the
initiatory steps for the accomplishment
of the very desirable object, but thus far
have waited in vain.
I observe that number of citizens
have, however, on their own motion in
augurated a movement for the avowed
purpose of putting ticket in the field,
but as the mode of procedure up to the
present time does not accord with my
idea of what is due to the people. beg to
suggest, for the benefit of whom it may
concern, an inquiry. Would it not be
better for each political party above
named TO decide whether it desires a
fusion on the present occasion, and

THE Inter Mountain has cut down to a

that il cannot afford bigger paper
"with silver at 70 cents an ounce as a
result of Democratic ascendancy. That
is making poor excuse and telling a
poorer faisehood at the same time. We
wish the Inter- Mountain better luck and
greater veracity. It is Republican legis-
lation, not Democratic ascendancy, which
reduced silver to its present level.

CUNNING FOR PLANETS.

Asteroids Caught In Numbers by tho Aid
of Photography.
One of the most remarkable of re-
cent astronomical developments IS the
result of the application Of pho
Biography to the discovery of asteroids
or minor planets, says Prof. c. A.
Young, astronomer at Princeton col
lego. ....... -..
BY the old methods of search the
annual rate of discovery ranged from
one to twenty, the average for the
twenty years 1921, being 1913.
In 1899 twenty-nine were discovered,
two only by the old method, while be
tween January and April Is of the
present year twenty-five were picked
up by the two observers, Wolf, of
heidelberg, and Charlois, of Nice,
who have pressed the camera into
service.
The negatives arc made with On ex-
posurc Of from three to five hours,
each covering an area two or three de-
grecS square.
On the plate the images of the stars
arc round and clear, while any planets
or planctoids which may be present are
at once recognized by the elongation
of their images due to their orbital
motion; and three or four of these OBJ
long lights are sometimes found on a
single plate.
II the number of observers using
this method should be much increased
the number Of annual discoveries may
easily mount into the hundreds.
The total number of these little
bodies which circulate in the space be-
tween Mars and Jupiter stands ut three
hundred and scventy-fivc, SO far as now
known, but it is almost certain that
those still undiscovered must be count
cd by the thousand, and obviously it
will soon be hopeless to attempt to
keep the run of them all.
We may reasonably suppose that all
the larger ones have been already dis
covered, and that those still remain
ing unrecognized are all extremely
minute.

be standpoint the size of a planet has

MOST WONDERFUL OF PEARLS.

Inc southern Cross" Il Gem Found by
n fisherman in Western Australia.
Black pearls used to be held as of
small value, comparatively speaking.
1hey were first made fashionable by
the Impress Eugcnic, wife of Napo-
Icon Ill, who possessed n famous
necklace of them which fetched twenty
Thousand dollars at auction after the
overthrow of the imperial DYNASTY.
This did not include the single treat
pearl forming the snap, which was pur-
chased by the marquis of Bath for five
thousand dollars. Mexico, Tahiti and
Fiji supply the markets of the world
with black pearls The most extraor.
Qinary pearl in the world, according to
the New York Advertiser, is known us
the Southern Cross" 1t is probably
the most remarkable thing of it's kind
that nature has ever produced. So far
as is known it occupies an absolutely
unique position in the history of pearls
1t consists of a group of nine pearls
naturally grown together in SO regular
n manner as to form an almost perfect
Latin cross. Seven of them compose
the shaft, which measures an inch and
half in length, while the two arms of
the cross arc formed by one pearl on
each side. All the pearls are Of fine
iustcr.
This astonishing freak was discov-
cred by man named Clark, while
pearl fis hing in western Australia. lie
regarded it as miracle, and, enter
tainiEs; superstitious dread OF it, he
buried it, In 1874 it was dug up again
and since then it has changed hands
many times It's value is set at fifty
Thousand dollars How it came about
that those pearls were grouped to-
gcther iR such o manner no one has ag
yet been able to explain satisfactorily.
vt has been suggested that fragment
Of Tcrratcd scnweed may have got into

succession of teeth along the margin of
the front may have caused the deposit

from its native element, without any
possib'ltg0f its having been subjected
to human manipulation.

Virtues of Hot Water.

1t cannot fail to be matter of inter
est TO mothers to know that hot water,
administered internally, will often re,
lieve baby entirely when suffering
from vomiting and purging. / have
also tried it with infants who were ema-
GATED from non-assimilation of food
aud with those given to convulsions,
with the most astonishing results. Hot
wafer is stimulant, food, an anti
septic and sedltive when all assimi-
lative functions are suspended. When
b. by is purging and vomiting badly
give up all food and fill the child with
hot (not warm) water, given in small
doses for twenty-tour hours. The
water flushes and cleanses the stomach.
After few doses add pinch of salt to
the hot water, and, if the child takes it
more readily, very little sugar. o.
casionally child whose stomach is in
such delicate condition that it has re-
tanned nothing for some time will throw
up the first hot water given and retain
the second or third dose; persisted in,
this treatment will usually induce sleep
and recovery, hope that mothers who
have fretful, sleepless, weak-stomached
babies will try this most simple but
effectual remedy. - JenneSS Mule,

rior artist that l was anxious to see
him, and one of my off nights l went
TO Baltimore with my impressario's
agent. A box had been reserved for
me without my knowledge, and was
draped with the Italian colors. / regret
trd to be made 80 conspicuous, but
could not fail to appreciate the courteous
aud complimentary desire to do me
honor shown by the American artist.
1t was only natural that l should be
most kindly influenced toward him, but
without the courtesy which predisposed
me in his favor he would equally have
won my sympathy by his attractive and
ar istic lineaments, and his graceful
aud well-proportioned figure. The play
was" Hamlet" This part brought him
gre at fame, and justly; for in addition
to the high artistic worth with which
he adorned it, his elegant personality
was admirably adapted to it. His long
ard wavy hair, his large and expressive
eyes, his youthful and flexible move
ments, accorded perfectly with the ideal
of the young prince Of Denmark which
now obtains everywhere. His splendid
delivery, and the penetrating philosophy
with which he informed his phrases
were his most remarkable qualities.
1 was so fortunate as to see him also
as Richelieu and Iago, and in all three
of these parts, so diverse in their charac-
ter, found him absolutely admirable.
l clnnot say so much for his Macbeth,
which | saw one night when passing
through Philadelphia. The part seemed
to me not adapted TO his nature. Mac
beth was an ambitious man, and Booth
was not. Macbeth had barbarous and
ferocious instincts, and Booth was
agreeable, urbane and courteous. Mac
beth destroyed his enemies traitor
ously-did this even to gain possession
of their goods-while Booth was noble,
lofty-minded, and generous of his
wealth. 1t is thus plain that however
much art he might expend, his nature
rebelled against his portrayal of that
pelsonage, and he could never hope to
transform himself into the ambitious,
venal, and sanguinary Scottish king

The Cause of Red Hair.

Science explains the phenomenon
of red hair thus; 1t is caused by a
superabundance of iron in the blood.
This it is that imparts the vigor, the
elasticity, the great vitality, the
overlooking and thoroughly healthy
animal life that runs riot through
the veins of the ruddy haired, and
this strong, sentient animal life is
what renders them more intense in
all their emotions than their more
languid fellow creatures.
The excess of iron is also the cause
of freckles on the peculiarly clear,
white skin which always accompa-
MES red hair. The skin is abnor-
mally sensitive to the action of the
suns rays, which not only bring out
the little brown spots in abundance,
but also burn like a mustard plaster,
producing queer, creepy sensation,
as if the skin was wrinkling up

No. 307.-rhe Nine Glass Diamond.

A trick that is calculated to fool the I'M
wary is the nine glass diamond arrange
ment. This trick, as the title suggests, is
performed with nine glasses. These glasses
must be straight sided, but larger at the
top than at the bottom. The first thing to
do in this trick is to arrange these nine
glasses with the opening up in the form of
a diamond, and it is compulsory that each
glass shall touch at least two other glasses
at the rim or top edge. Having arranged
the glasses according to directions, the
trick consists of removing four of the
glasses without moving the remaining five
out of position and leaving the five glasses
perfectly clear of one another
This is a very simple trick, and for that
reason many will be all the more mystified
by it. When you arrange your glasses in
the diamond form, see that the two next to
the corner glass touch each other as well as
the first glass. Then put down your two
side corner ones, then two more which
touch one another as well as the last end
one. Now pick out glass which is trifie
smaller at the top than any of the others
and put it close to either Of the pairs which
join the end glasses. 1t will now be seen
that while this glass touches two glasses it
does not touch either of the side glasses.
The diagram shows the correct position.
When you have removed glasses numbered
2, 4, and 8, all the others will be clear of
one another
