PRAYER IN THE LEGISLATURE.

The following open letter is sent to
The Herald for publication:
Salt Lake City, Utah, Jan. p, 1896.
To the Salt Lake Ministerial Associa-
ton and especially to the Rev. T. G.
Tiff:
GentIemen-From recent newspaper
interviews, l learn that you are at
present engaged in an especial en-
deavor to elevate the public morals OF
politicians. I desire to call your at
tention to a fragrant violation Of the
law by the Utah legislature, and | IN
vite your cooperation for its suppress
sion. The constitution Of Utah pro
vides that mo public money or prop
erty shall be appropriated for, or ap-
piled to, any religious worship, exercise
or instruction. and every member of
the legislature has taken a solemn
oath to uphold that constitution. Not
withstanding this solemn obligation,
the members of the legislature are each
day applying public property for re-
ligious worship by holding prayer
meetings in the legislative halls. In
addition to this, some of these same
legislators, in violation of their solemn
oath. are paying the chaplain a salary
for constructing and delivering these
unlawful prayers. Your sensitive
moral natures must compel you to look
upon this disregard of official oaths as
something akin to moral perjury. and
I am sure this is as offensive to you
as it is to me. I therefore expect your
hearty cooperation in all lawful en-
deavors for the suppression of these
unlawful prayers. If I can aid you in
bringing about discUntinuance or
this violation of the constitution I
shall be pleased to meet with YOU at
your next meeting for the purpose of
perfecting some plan which will enable
US to bring about the desired end. Very
truly, A. T SCHROEDER.
We think Mr.. Schroeder has made a
mistake in addressing the above letter
to the Ministerial association and to

In his speech thanking the legislature
for the honor conferred upon him in
electing him senator, Senator Frank ].
Cannon said that today Utah "holds in
her hand the sword with which she
carved for herself as great monu-
ment as stands to any state in the
Union" Beautiful metaphor, none the
less beautiful than it was suggested
by the fact that the Bunker Hill monu-
ment was carved out with the Sword

The lying squadron seems to be look
ing around for the person who cried
rats but so far has not succeeded in
finding him. After sailing around
awhile and making very careful
search everywhere, the flying squad

turn to lie on the comfortable rug in
front of the warm fire, there to doze
until some one shall again cry rats. ;"

COMMENT DY THE EDITORS.
The Davis Resolution.

It cannot be said that the Davis reso-
luton puts the case in terse English
the resolution is not a shining success
in its composition. Then, too, there is
bill of particulars in recital of the things
which European pow ers shall not under
take to do in this country. The pithy
paragraphs in the original Monroe mes
sage are a clear definition of this coun-
try's views. A revised version of the
text is not needed, and there is no rea-
son why the doctrine should be rewrit-
ten or, for that matter, reafhrmed.-An-

In sanitary science necessary are not

Bacterlology is comparatively new
science but it has revOlutiOniZed the
methods of promoting good health
Teachers should know something of it
in order that their talks may be
effective.
We live surrounded by minute
vegetable organisms which pervade
the air, water and soil, and are so
small that the high powers of the
microscope are required to see them
bacteria are classified as to form into
cocci, which are tiny spheres, bacilli.
which are rod shaped, and SpirilIi
which are spirals. There are hundreds
OF known varieties and many others
not yet classified and studied. Most
of them are harmless to man, some
being of great service to him. One
variety produces the desired flavor in
butter. Others cause fermentation.

contained in the yeast which causes
gas to form in yeast bread. Water

terra. Wells often receive the drain

places. Milk becomes contaminated
Immediately. If it is sterilized and
kept free from these germs it does
not sour.
The pathogenic organisms are the
ones we dread. Asiatic cholera is
caused by the comma bacillus, as it is
usually called. 1t is really spirillium

Typhoid fever is produced by the use
of water or milk containing typhoid

A pupil coming to school with
sore throat may have diphtheria. If
Jhr Klebs-Loffier bacillf are in the
throat, it is diphtheria, though the
patient may not be very sick. If he

TO all parts of the body Spores soon
change to bacilli: and as one tubercle
bacillus will multiply to sixteen

1t is formidable enemy. Milk from
cows thin in flesh and having cough
should not be used. Another way
consumption is spread is from the ex-
pectorations of patients having tuber-
culosls of the lungs. The expec-
toratlng habit has always been con-
Sidered breach of decOrum, but that
mas not sufficed to check it. People

tuberculOus patient goes about throw
ing off myriads of bacilli, he scatters
the germs of the disease broadcast.
The sputum soon evaporateS and the
residue is blown about to be inhaled
by Others, to settle on food, to get
into water. 1t is sickening to think
OF 1t, but 1T ought to be considered
criminal for one person to endanger
the lives of all about him, by an act
of carelesSneSS and filthiness. Pupils
should carry handkerchiefs. All
sputum from tuberculOus patients
should be burned and bacteriologists
advise such patients to carry, when
away from home, paper napkins which
can be burned on returning home
Cholera in hogs is caused by one of
these micrO-Organisms. Texas fever in
cattle is spread by means of ticks
dropping off infected animals and
later getting on sound ones. The
micrO-OrganiSm is in the blood and is
conveyed by the tick. Chicken cholera
is due to minute bacillus. Black
leg in young cattle is due to another
variety, the spores of which are in
the grass of infected regions.

Interesting place. Each variety of
bacteria is kept in glass tube con-
tanning suitable media to promote
their growth. There are incubators
dry air and steam steriliZers, micro
scopes with oil immersion lens, STAIN
ing reagents of all sorts to use in pre-
pairing glass slides for study, and
quantities of other apparatus.
In this room are worked out Ques-
tions affecting the health of mankind.
A doctor does not pronounce a case of
sore throat to be diphtheria or not
till he has psychologists opinion on
the specimen taken from the throat.
Cases of tuberculosis of the lungs, if
recognized by HAVING an examination
of the sputum made promptly, may be
cured. Pneumonia is diagnosed from
the diplOcOccus pneumonia in the
Sputum.
Diagnosing disease is but small
part of the psychologists field of
work. Methods to prevent the spread
of infectious disease, and the study of
natural and acquired immunity from
disease are others. When the bac-

The man who wants to hire teachers
for SIS per month because that is the

There are fOrty-five districts in

and require two teachers. District
No Is will have no school.
Trego county had 81 organized dis

salary was 500. 1t now has As dis
tricts and the salary is $3.50. The
work has increased one-fourth while
the pay has decreased more than one
third or from $40 to 80 per district
This shows the injustice of the law
governing salaries of county superin-
