AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION.

Concerning the edict recently issued
by the empress regent of China, au-
thcrizing an appropriation of 100000
taels for the repairing of the walls of
Pekin and the restoration of that oor-
ton which has been destroyed. Will
liam E. Curtis writes the Chicago Rec
ord as follows:
considered as a military measure.
this is just 5000, 900 taels thrown away.
because that great pile Of brick and
mortar which surrounds the Chinese
capital could not withstand the assault
of modern artillery for an hour. and it
would be a great blessing to the coun-
try if the money could be devoted to
the construction of railway lines. or
the development of its internal re-
sources. It is more probable that the
empress dowager is preparing to pro-
tect herself against a revolution among
her own people, which is likely to oc-
cur at any time, and they, having no
artillery, could be easily kept at bay by
the wall"
Perhaps the empress has decided that
the best way to cure discomfort and
prev GIll III lLe tIIDlIC IS
to put the people to work, TO keep them
busy at something.
This is said to have been the policy
pursued by Brigham Young in the early
history Of Utah. When there was moth
ing else to do, the people were employ
ed in the construction of stone walls.
Apparently these were for defense
against the Indians, but the great Dio-
neer and community organizer is said
to have remarked upon more than one
occasion that. rather than have his
people idle, he would order the walls
torn down and rebuilt.
Idleness is certainly a generator Of
discomfort. "An idle brain is the devils
workshop" When men are out of work.
either from incidence or compulsion.
they are more apt to hatch mischief
than when they are kept moving. If
the empress dowager succeeds in put
ting her people to work, it may save
the empire far more in the long run
than the outlay for the reconstruction
of the wall at Pekin.

1T WAS A DEAD WEIGHT.

The Tribune says: The Tribune was
a thorough and perfectly reliable re-
view, The Herald was but unreliable
and incompetent, patchwork. and was
thoroughly characteristic of the meth
DDS of our contemporary.
The Tribune actually believes that
1t would believe that the moon is made
of green cheese if the Tribune said
so. 1t has developed to an abnormal
extent the faculty of telling things
over and over again until it believes
them. Its bump of egotism is like a
went is positively a deformity When
not engaged in beating some one else
over the head our self-satisfed con-
temporary is patting it's own cocoa
nut and giving it's conceit the massage
treatment.
Like little Jack Horner it backs up
in corner and says What a great
institution am To No other news
paper is half SO cute as the Tribune
while it is tickling itself under the chin.
There isn't a paper on earth, to hear
it talk, that can compare with it in
size or shape, presswork or popularity
ink or industry, brains or bowels. It
is simply delighted with the nice things
it says about itself, and very naturally
it imagines that it looks as pretty and
as distinguished to the world as it
looks in the mirror of its vanity.
1t informs a credulous public that its
New Years edition was twice as large
as that of The Herald, and that it had
to get out another paper on Monday
It probably got out Tuesday. Wednes-
day, and all the rest of the week, but
quantity is not quality, nor a Sunday
paper issued Monday up-to-date. Still,
what is the use to tell the Tribune that
it is a mossback, a fogy, a fighter of
ancient battles, a wielder of archaic
weapons? It thinks it is a good thing,
so let it wag its ears and bray.
It probably believes yet that ability
to get up building and commercial
statistics is monopolized by the Trib-
une and that its page of tables for last
June were really interesting. 1t is a
safe bet that there are but two men
living who read those dust-covered
figures-the proofreader and the post
master, and neither of them could do
it again and survive.

WAS ST. PATRICK AN ITALIANq

In its attempt to prove that st. Pat
rick was an italian, which might be
inferred from the name, and that ia
nus was unknown outside of Rome, a.
contemporary shows more feeling than
knowledge.
Tie other morning it criticised this
paper for saying that the Grecians be-
Iieved a gate swung between the years
TO which Janus, as the Romans called
aim, or Kronos, as he was known to
the Greeks, held the key.
And, with that superior air which
some wiseacres assume, whether dis
cussing money or mythology, it de-
clared that Janus was unknown to the
Greeks, which statement it tried to
substantiate by two versions of the
origin Of this Roman deity: % That
Janus was "a king who was banished
from Greece TO nium." % That ia
nus was but another name for Sat
urn
If Janus were a king whom the
Greeks banished, how could he be I'M
known to the Greeks? If Janus were
another name for Saturn, then Janus
and Saturn were the same, and Kro-
nos, CT Saturn, was favorite god Of
the ancient Greeks.
The "onus probandi' seems to show
that Janus had more names than
faces; that he was born in Thessaly,
in Greece; that he reigned until Jupiter
declared war against the Titans; that
he changed his name and fled over
Adria to the Hesperian fields; that
he changed his name again and got
into the good graces of the Romans,
who erected temples to his honor. But
Janus, alias Kronos, alias Saturn, and
so on, was fully as well, if not as favor
ably, known in Greece as he was in
Rome. The Greeks and Romans held
similar beliefs and believed in similar
dctions. Psychological writer's often
differ in their statements of fact, and
widely in their conclusions. There are
reasons for believing that Janus was a
heather politician, whose two faces en-
abled him to smile at silver while he
winked at gold, to condemn with one
mouth what he condoned with another.
to blow hot and cold on local condi-
tiors. to advocate a proposition with
one tongue while denying any interest
in it with his other. But this is only
a conclusion Influenced largely by his

lation is agreed upon Janus was a
conan god. Krcnos was Greek god.

INsINCERE EXCEPTIONS.

What apostle whipped the Tribune
into its support of Andrew Jensen and
Edna L. Smith as candidates for the
state legislature last fail? It always
contends that others support their
party nominees from improper mo-
tives. What great moral reputation
screens the organ from a suspicion
that its estimate Of others is based en-
tirely upon a, knowledge of itself?
1t never was consistent; never re-
liable; never fair; never decent in a
controversy. Bitterness boils and bub-
bles in its heart today as it did years
ago. 1t pretends to forgive, but it never
does forgive. There are times when
it fawns at the feet of the old men
and high officials Of the dominant
church in Utah, but the knife Of malice
IS always in it's sleeve.
It says I'VE have repeatedly exoner-
ated the first presidency and the older
apostles from any share in Roberts
nomination and election" It has also
excepted the older men in the church
in its denunciation of the Mormon peo-
pie for alleged continued contracting of
plural marriages; but it says il knows
absolutely that such marriages are be-
ing contracted today as they We've years
ago.
Why does it exonerate the old men?
Is it TO silence few while il lashes the
many with the fury Of its scorn? But
here is the evidence of its hypocrisy.
In the same column that it 'exonerates
the first presidency and the older apos-
ties from any share in Roberts nom
ination and election" it throws out an
insinuation against the younger gene
ration. It says:
I'VE know the purpose behind his
nomination, and hope to be able soon
to supply the proofs. 1t is enough now
to say that it means the practical res
toration of old conditions"
OF course, if the nomination. Of Rob
e1ts was q scheme to restore ''old
conditions" in Utah, the first presi-
dency is not innocent, the older apostles
are not free from blame. If. as the
Tribune has repeatedly said, plural
marriages are still being contracted in
the Mormon church and solemnized by
the elders thereof, the first presidency
and the older apostles cannot escape
the responsibility.
Either the general authorities Of the
church are cognizant of these alleged
plural marriages, or the Tribune has
Hrilfully and maliciously misrepresented
the facts in order to infiame public SEN
timent against the Mormon people

How He Knew he wasn't Dead.


Thomas H Grisham, president of the
board of managers of the Dodge City
Soldiers home, told a Journal reporter
last week a story of an old soldier
named John Clark, who came near be-
ing buried alive. He had been i'll for
a long time with typhoid fever, and at
last lapsed into a comotoSe state and
was pronounced dead. Burial robes
were placed upon him, and he was
tenderly placed in a. caSket to await
interment on the following day. Dur
ing the night Clark regained his senses
and rose up in his narrow prison. He
upset the coffin and was sent sprawlinS
on the floor. In CONSERVATION, one at
tendant rushed into the room and re-
treated. declaring he had seen a ghost.
Then other attendants came. Stimu-
lants were quickly applied, and the
limbs and body of Clark rubbed with
alcohol. He soon opened his eyes. At
ter careful attention and nursing he
recovered entirely, and today tells the
story of his narrow escape from being
buried alive.
Mr. Grisham has talked with Clark
about this strange experience.
Tell me-" said Grisham to Clark. one
day since the dead came to life, how
did you feel when you died, and how
did you first know that you were
alive?'

Clark, Ito be dying, the experience was

His Mean Revenge.
(Chica 60 Post.l

She was one of the aggressive kind,
and she undertook to elbow and push
her way to the front of the crowd that
was leaving the car.
He was mild-mannered little fellow
and did not seem TO resent it at all
when her elbow dug into him as she
went by. Nevertheless, he was a re-
sourceful man and he had his revenge.
.T should think" he said to his COM
panion in tone that could be heard by
every one near, that a woman whose
gown showed a gaping placket would
be anxious for a position in front of
the crowd
OF course his wife had put him up to
it. but the aggressive woman did not
know that, and three minutes later she
was the last one of all.
