FACILITIES FOR TEACHING
PATRIOTISM.

Commander Shaw, of the Grand
Army Of the Republic of New York
state, has issued an order announcing
that "the draft Of q bill is in course
of preparation intended to provide some
needed facilities in connection with
patriotic exercises in the schools Fol
lowing this announcement, it is stated
that what is desired in the closing
years OF our lives as veterans, is that
the children may be taught the ele-
nlents of history and patriotism from
first entering our schools, so that right
ideas of peace and good citizen,hip may
become controlling passion in ali
their young hearts," There is a general
impression that this very thing is done
now. But what are the particular ia
cilities" that are needed? Does it
mean that there are to be special la
boratories provided where patriotism is
to be studied and taught the same as
in chemical and other laboratories?
People will differ as to just what con-
stitutes patriotism, but in the hour of
their country's trial they throw theories
to the wind and come forth and offer
their lives and all that they have to
their country. 1t makes no difference
what their definition of patriotism is,
nor what facilities they have had for
studying it when they do this. What
special facilities for studying patriot
ism did Commander Shaw possess in
his youth that the boys and girls of
the land do not possess now? In the
hour of trial and peril he proved his
patriotism by going to his -country's
defense: they would do the same. Lin
coin never had any special facilities"
for studying patriotism, and if Com
mander Shaw should have asked him
how ever he became the greatest of
patriots without such facilities, he
would probably have answered as Dean
Swift did when asked how he ever ex-
pected to be able to argue, if he didn't
study the authorities on logic. He an
swered that he didn't know, but some
how he managed to argue pretty we'll
without knowing them.
Hundreds Of thousands of men vol
unteered for the war who never dream
ed that a special course in patriotism
was necessary. Under like circum-
stances, hundreds of thousands of citi-
zens would do the same today. The
trouble with Commander Shaw is that
he has had an attack of that pessimism
which often comes with old age, and is
one of the surest signs of %it.

Congressional Plagiarism.

Washington Correspondence st. Louis
Globe-Democrat: The presence of ex-
Congressman Clardy of Missouri in Wash
lngton this week recalls his part in the
discovery of parallel to the Stephens
PlnSree Thanksgiving proclamation mys-
terry. When Mr. Clardy was in congress
there appeared in the Record two long
by two representatives. These speeches
We're Identical, word for word. Neither
had been actually delivered but got into
the Record under leave to print" They
We're for consumption in the respective
districts of the two members. They did
not appear on the same day, and when
the duplication was discovered. it appear
ed as if one had copied the speech of the
other. The laugh was on the hinder
most.
After a time a secret got out that
neither of the congressman had written
his speech. but both had bought it from
one of the talented gentlemen who earn
their livings by doing such brain work
for statesmen not troubled with con-
sciences. So honors were easy. The pur-
veyor of speeches made to order offered
the speech and not seeing it published in
the Record, he felt safe in making an
other sale, supposing the first customer
was not intending to use it. Mr.. Clardy
furnished the sequel. He was known here
as an omniverous reader. His leisure
hours We're spent in delving into forgot
ten debates. One day he came across the
speech which had been sold twice to con-
temDoraries of his. That speech had
before.
And" commented Mr.. Clardy. "the AL
mighty only knows with whom that
speech was really original"

ENGLAND,s AMERICAN Mill
TARY ROUTE.

A story comes from Minneapolis, via
Chicago, that information has been re-
ceived from a reliable source that the
Ottawa government 80 days ago noti-
fed the Canadian Pacific officials to be
in readiness for the Immediate trans
portation from Montreal to Vancouver
and Esquimault of $500 men, the con-
tingent consisting of engineers, gun
ners and deck officers. According to in
formation at hand. the road had pre-
pared for handling 5000 men, five
trains being held in readiness for this
service. The officers included in the
first contingent are intended to rein
force the Japanese feet, which is said
to be very short on engineering talent,
and deficient in gunnery. The dispatch
adds that a secret agreement has been
concluded between Great Britain and
Japan, by the terms of which the Rus
sian pretensions in Corea are to be over
come, and Russian ACKNOWLEDGEMENT in
Asia permanently checked.
The latter part of this dispatch has
but small interest for Americans, but
the first part has much. If these men
are to be sent across Canada to Van
couver and Esquimault, it will serve
to show how we'll the Canadian Pacific
will serve as a military road, and
whether or not the road can handle
large bodies of men with ease. Thirty
five hundred men are not many. when
one thinks of an army, but when trans
ported as soldiers, it serves to show
what a road can do.
The Canadian Pacific is Great Brit
aims military route in America, End as
such Americans have more or less in
terest in it. In the very remote contin-
gency of hostilities between this coun-
try and England, this military route
would be of the utmost Importance to
England. 1t would be of great impor
lance to her in case of trouble in the
Pacific AS military route, the Ca
madam Pacific has far more interest
for the American people than as a COM
mercial one. The transportation of
considerable number of troops over it
at the present time will be watched
with interest.

William e. Curtis, the Washington
correspondent of the Chicago Record,
very aptly remarks that if the emperor
of China has any sense of humor or
justice, he will call the attention of the
emperor of Germany to the fact that
the two missionaries who were killed
by a mob for erecting a Catholic church
upon the ruins of a Buddhist temple,
belonged to the order of Jesuits, who
were expelled from the German empire
several years ago for teaching pernic-
ious doctrines, and interfering with the
peace of the people. Nevertheless, the
German emperor demanded as an in
demnity for their murder the execution
of the ringleaders of the mob, the res
toration of the church and missionary
buildings, the degradation and punish
ment of the governor of the province
and the chief officials of the city, the
payment of $780, coo in cash, the ces-
SIGN of $40 square miles of territory,
and the permanent occupation IF one
of the best harbors on the Chinese
coast
The Chinese emperor is hardly in the
humor TO appreciate the humor of the
situation, and as for justice, it is a
thing he has never had any sense Of.
Still all this does not relieve Emperor
Williams perfidy.

speaking of excessive pension ex-

1.-The case of Mr.. Bell former deputy
commissioner of pensions, is illuminat-
ing. He was on the pension roll for
So month for total disability When
Pension Commissioner Lochren came
into office, Deputy Bell, who was draw

Commissioner Lochren, stating that
after careful reflection and due consid-
Grafton, he had concluded that he could
not conscientiously longer accept his
pension, and he therefore returned his
certificate and wished his name to be
stricken from the rolls. His request
was complied with, and Mr.. Bell ceased
to be pensioner. Just before Mr.. Bell
lost his Office in April last, he set the
proper machinery in motion to rein
state himself upon the rolls, and was
so reinstated and drew the back pen
sion which for four years he had so
honorably refused

BANK ASSETS AS CIRCULATION
SECURITY.

There was a time when the Maverick
a great concern, and when a few years
ago. it failed, much surprise was ex-
pressed. BY order of the United States
district court, the banks assets have
just been sold. Their face value was
S1,O95.89O; they brought 1929.
A few days ago a couple of large
banks in Philadelphia failed, and fail
ed because of a depreciation of assets,
and not as the result of bad or reck-
less banking methods. 1t is very doubt
full if the assets of the Philadelphia
banks will be enough to save depositors
harmless; if they do more than that,
it will be an exception to the rule of
banks that fail.
Surprising that when these banks
failed the Gage currency plan had been
in operation, their circulation, per
mitted to the amount of % per cent of
their assets. and based upon them
(this, of course, in addition to their
circulation secured by bonds), would
fall as a debt on the government, its
security being the 2 per cent tax per
annum on the unsecured circulation,
and by a first lien upon all assets. If
the fund arising from this tax were
not sufficient to make the government
whole, the assets being wiped out of
existence, the difference between the
amount of unsecured circulation of the
failed banks and the unsecured circu-
lation fund would fall as a dead loss
on the governn. 1T. When a bank is
solvent, it's assets are valuable, be-
cause they must be to make it SOL
vent; and when it is not solvent, it
is because, as a general rule, its as
sets are not valuable Now, bank as
sets are very largely a matter of fig
ures, and they can be run up high or
down low, at the pleasure of those in
control OF the bank. Under the Gage
plan, all notes issued by banks would
be perfectly secure, for the government
guarantee would be behind them. But
what Of the government? Its real Sc
curity, practically its only security, is
the per cent tax on the unsecured
circulation; the assets security, save
in rare cases, would be of little or no
value.
There IS not any likelihood that the
Gage plan will meet with favor at the
hands of congress, but the failure of
the two big Philadelphia banks cannot
fail TO draw special attention to the
assets security provision, and show its
real weakness. Under it the strong
banks, through the security tax, must
carry the weak ones, and to them the
government would have to look for it's
own naturalization.

for whose benefit it was intended. It
implied constant work and it is usually
because the criminal class will not de-
vote themselves to honest, continuous
work that they become criminals and
eventually land in states prison.
Honest labor is their aversion, and per-
haps it is too much to expect them to
devote themselves to it after serving a
term in prison when they would not
do it before
Successful or unsuccessful, the Sal
vationists are to be commended for
their efforts to reform ex-convicts.

THE WANDERER.

At drowsy dawn L left the Gate-so very
long ago
Whether that home be memory or dream
L hardly know.
The cloud-hung visions of the morn were
far more real then
Than now are thronging city streets and
cries of eager men.
The hours ere yet the sun was high were
like eternities,
But now how swift the shadows run, how
near. the darkness is.
All, well! 'Tis aye the happiest day comes
swift to even-song:
With merrier comrades never yet did pill
grim pass along.
The paths that widest seem to part still
winding turn and meet
Perchance they do but homeward lead
again our wandering feet.
Familiar faces vanish, but the voices vi
brate STILL
And now nothing seems far away, at the
ending of the hill.
To one warm hand alone L cling, as fast
the night grows late,
And crave that we may come at last to-
gether at the gate.
William CranSton LaWton in the jan
uary Century.

of a man who wanted to be chaplain in
the army during Mr.. Lincoln's admins
tration was recently found. Attached TO
it are q number of Endorsements which
are not only interesting in themselves but
aid in disclosing the characters of the two
men whose influence largely moulded the
policy of the government in those turbu-
lent times. The Endorsements read as fol-
lows:
Dear Stanton: Appoint this man chap
lain in the army.
(Signed) A LINCOLN
Dear Mr.. Lincoln: He is not a preacher.
lSigned) e. NJ. STANTON.
The following Endorsements are dated
few months later, but come just below:
/ Dear Stanton: He is now.
(Signed) A. LINCOLN
Dear Mr.. Lincoln: But there is no va
cancy.
(Signed) q. NJ. STANTON
Dear Mr.. Stanton: Appoint him chap
lain-at-large.

Dear Mr. Lincoln: There is no warrant
of law for that
(Signed.) E. NJ. STANTON.
Dear Mr.. Stanton: Appoint him anyhow
(Slgned.) A. LINCOLN.
Dear Mr.. Lincoln: I will not.

The appointment was not made, but the
papers were filed in the war department,
where they remain as evidence of Lin
coins friendship and Stanton's obstinate
nerve.

The Ephraim Enterprise saws:

The Christmas edition of The Salt
Lake Herald is a great paper, but the
people of Sanpete county would like
to know why this county, which is one
of the best and most progressive in this
state, was not considered of sufficient
Importance to be noticed in it's col
umns. Other counties of much less
Importance were given columns of
space, while Sanpete, with the eXcep
ton of a write-up of Mt. Pleasant City,
went unnoticed. Will The Herald
please explain this slight?
1t is a proper question and we are
glad to answer it. Arrangements We're
made to have write-up of Sanpete
county, to be properly illustrated with
portraits of the county's leading citi-
zens and pictures of its chief buildings,
but the gentleman with whom the ar
rangements had been made, owing to
untoward circumstances, was unable
to carry them out, but when he so dis
covered it was too late to make others.
It was a matter of keen disappoint-
ment. but was unavoidable. There is
no county in the state entitled to more
consideration or one that The Herald
delights to honor more than Sanpete.
