KIPLING ON RHODES.
New York Journal.)


For the first time since he has been
a celebrity Rudyard Kipling has yield
ed to the snares of a newspaper in
terviewer. The fortunate man is Sir
Edward Russell, of the Liverpool Daily
Post, and the subject Cecil Rhodes and
South Africa
In answer to a question regarding
Mr.. Rhodes gift of 10000 to Irish
home rule Mr.. Kipling replied: Sure
ly you know all about that. You don't
think that Cecil Rhodes cared a bit
about Ireland? All he wanted was to
get the principle adopted in the hope
of its general adoption and a free hand
for all colonists who knew how to
make empires. Home governments are
ridiculously powerless. Individual
statesmen can do great things, and Mr..
Gladstone has done infinite harm; but
governments, as governments, can
scarcely ever do anything"
Mr.. Kipling considers Cecil Rhodes
the greatest of living men.
"A man worth millions who didn't
spend more than $500 a year on him
self! There he lives in a poor, never
finished place, keeping free and easy
open house. Anybody can stay with
him and enjoy his simple hospitality.
Mr. Rhodes never presides at table
never spends long at table. The guest
who has been there longest slts at the
top"
A question was then put. What did
Mr.. Kipling think of the Beers?
Mr. Kipling replied: They are
utterly detestable."
But what about their religious emo
lions and expressions? 'Oh, that only
meant that when Kruger wanted things
to go his way he hOwed texts at his
people The Beers behave cruelty to
the natives. They live in dwellings so
indecently crowded as almost to sug
gest inevitable indecencies and family
| immortality. You are not to mix up
Beers and Dutch. The Dutch are slow
enough, but they are civilized. The
Beers are neither civilized nor pictures
que in their unciviliZation nor righte-
Gus in their conduct toward others. To
allow them to have any influence on
politics in place that we have any
thing to do with is preposterous."
But" said the interviewer, if he is
so great a man and makes such good
plans and carries them out so perfectly
how came ne to make such an awful
mess of things in allowing and not
rendering successful the Jameson
raid?''
"Ah,'' said Mr.. Kipling-and it was
his last word before mounting his BIZ
cycle and riding away to his seclusion
in little outlying township-"Ah, :"
said he, you have now asked a ques-
ton which will probably not be ansWer-
ed till the day of judgment"

A Clear Answer.

The Youths Companion tells a story
of woman on board ship who saw a
sailor fall and cut his head badly. She
welfare when she saw the captain that
night, and would undoubtedly have
continued her sympathy had not a
rough sea called to mind her own SUI
ferings Four days later, when she
emerged, white and weak, from her
stateroom, she suddenly remembered
the poor sailor. In the course OF the
day she saw him, with strip of plaster
on his forehead. How is your head?'
she asked, kindly, as he passed by her
bent on some duty. West by south,
aam," was the reply, delivered with
respectful, but hasty clearness, and he
WAS gone.

THAT YOUNG SYNDICATE.

The Chicago Record is inclined to
take seriously the syndicate scheme
originated by John w. Young for the
purpose of securing control of the Phil
ippines. A great many Utah people
who are somewhat acquainted with this
great promoter and red-line financier
have been treating the matter as a
joke.
No one questions the energy, or
doubts the assurance, or denies the
nerve possessed by Mr.. Young.
He has originated some wonderful
plans. He has backed some mammoth
undertakings. That he failed of sue
cess was generally the result of cutters
behind him. The fund at his disposal
was never adequate to his conception
OF the project in hand. 1t is to be hoped
that he is well supplied this time. 1t
appears from the Paris story that he is.
The Record, commenting thereon, says:
"I'hat a business syndicate with q
capital Of s40O, 100000 should appear on
the scene at this iuncture with a pro
position TO take control of the Philip
rii1es under the protection of the
United States may be regarded as a
natural event in the course OF the ex-
tensive colonial experiment on which
the nation is now entering. Similar
companies have sprung up with the or
ganization of important colonies
throughout the world and some of them
have met with fair degree of sue
cess. In fact, a Royal Company of the
Philippine Islands was Incorporated by
the king Of Spain in 1873, although it
failed to accomplish its purpose"
Attention is also directed 70 the Brit
ish East India company which endured
through the 18th century, in one form
az another, until the conditions We're
favorable to government control. Then
there are the Hudson Bay company,
organized in 1914, the British South Sea
company. and the British South Africa
company, organized ten years ago.
Great Britain has found it expedient
80 govern her colonies in this way, and

DANCING DERvIsH AND HIS YELL

legian Green With Envy.
lChic, % ChrnniclnA

Nothing is so good as it used to be.
Even the bowling Dervish is getting
tame.
When he begins the Jehad, the holy
war, against the British in the Soudan
he is pretty genuine, but in peaceful
Scutarl, where most tourists see him.,
he's a good deal of a fraud
Still even in Scutari, which is the
muddy, cobble-paved Brooklyn of Con
stantinople, one may sometimes see a
gaunt and haggard Dervish of the old
school pacing along with uplifted head
so framed in complicated harness of
swords and knives that he could not
possibly bend without being impaled
Huge pins are thrust into his flesh,
rafting disks of metal hang by chains
at his waist to warn passers-by of the
approach of the holy man. You Won
der what would happen to him if he
sneezed.
Mostly, the Dervishes are not so pic
turesque. You meet on the street a
swarthy little man in round-eyed

THE CONTEST PRESS BUREAU


It is very evident that a press bureau
has been established for the purpose of
arousing a sentiment in the east
against the people of Utah, and for the
purpose Of working up a contest
against their congressman-elect. The
origin of the scheme and it's object are
pretty we'll understood, and it's chief
promoters have been too busy for sew
eral weeks to keep their identity secret
During the campaign Republican
speakers and writer's told Of the dire
consequences sure to follow the cleo
ton of Mr.. Roberts They predicted
ruin, disgrace, trouble and national
agitation. Now they are doing all they
can to bring the conditions they fore
told about. They are still bowling ca
lamity, and stuffing the columns of
eastern papers. working upon sectar-
ian and political prejudices, that they
may rub their hands little later and
exclaim: 1--WE warned you"
They told now capital would avoid
the state, how that onrushing wave of
prosperity would pause at the thresh-
Ola, now the morals OIL w dShlngton
City would receive d shock, and how
they are going to prove, if possible,
that they are seventh sons of seventh
sons.
In this connection editorials in lead
ing newspapers of the east and west
are beginning to appear. The articles
are promptly wired back to this city,
where they are reprinted as specials, !"
thus completing their circuit.
1t is a great scheme, evidently backed
by desperate politicians; but it won't
work. It may injure Utah in business
way for while, as the agitation seems
to be for that purpose, but the object
sought by the agitators will not be
achieved.

opinion that the only people who use

"Of late years there has been q great
prejudice against employing old or

Now, there are a great many gray

men, but are handicapped on account of
