There's lots in this here country to thank

There is a story going the rounds in
connection with the antics on Repub-
lican day at Saltair. The speeches
were nearly over; the audience had
been bored so long by fairy stories of
what the Republicans had done to adj
vance the cause Of statehood, that one
by one they silently stole away.
But the star speaker had not yet
appeared on the scene. The pic
turesque form Of Colonel Trombone
was not in the foreground neither was
even show up as a mere speck upon
the horizon"
The leaders were growing impatient;
the crowd was fast thinning away
and Colonel Trombone had not been
given chance to tell the story Of
How I passed the enabling act"
Suddenly he appeared. Hurry up,
Hurry UP and tell the people here all
you did to help the statehood BILL
"Bus the people are going away"
protested thA colonel. "They will all be
gone In five minutes"
Never mind, never mind, you can tell
1T all in that time"
And the colonel and his friend WON
in fendish glee

Madeline Pollard is about to star.
She will if reports in the eastern press
are to be believed, make hex initial
bow on the mimic stage, to an audi
ence in Chicago. While one may con-
denim her judgment in descending to
the level of Jim Corbett, John L. Sui
Ivan. Peter Jackson and Steve Brodie
ct al. it must be admitted that she has
shown fine business tact in selecting
Chicago as her starting point.
According to a traveller who lately
visited Panama. it is evident that few
attorneys could flourish there and the
court reporter must be kept on the
hump for sensa tons.
divorces are very rare" he says
People do not live celibate lives by
ANY means, but the women have pc
cul1ar notions. They find that hus-
bands to whom they are legally tied
are apt to be mean and tyrannical, so
they decide not to marry. Instead they
simply take up their abode with the
man of their choice, minister to his
wants. and rear his children, all with
out the aid Of the priest.
Immoral? Perhaps, but they don't
mean it to be. They simply want to
be in a condition to be free, if freedom
becomes necessary. So long as the
man is kind they remain with him,
and the point 1 wish to make is that
as rule these irregular unions last
during life. 1t is only when one party
or the other is grossly unsatisfactory
that separation takes place. Such
separations on the Isthmus are COM
paratively rare-much rarer than le-
gal divorces in our states.
United States judges, you know, are
appointed for life or during good be-
havior. Among. the masses on the
Isthmus husbands are chosen the same
way"
There is said to be scheme on foot
and it is engineered by some very good
people, too-looking to the making of
Utah prohibition state The gods
forbid that Utah, should enter into the
Union in the guise of a hypocrite of
the first water. We have had
enough experience with "prohibi-
ton towns. to say nothing of
attempting to apply the law in a
wholesale way.
