Good Luck and Bad.
Chicago Record

The belief that Friday is a day of bad
luck arose from varied reasons. one
superstition is that it was on Friday
Adam and Eve ate the fatal apple, and
then it is agreed that Christ was cruel
fed on Friday. 1t is believed to be bad
luck to cut the finger nails on Friday,
and manicurists say their business Is
lightest on that day.
One cannot be too careful regarding
the wedding day. There is the old saw
which everyone knows: Monday for
health. Tuesday for wealth, Wednesday
the best day of all: Thursday Tor
crosses, Friday for losses. Saturday no
luck at ALL May is supposed to be an
unlucky month to get married in, and
June the luckiest of the twelve.
Scores of things children do in olay
are relics of savage superstition. Pull
ffng a dandelion flower is one of these,
and the crossing of the fingers in the
game OF tag to secure Immunity comes
from the use of the Christian symbol to
ward off evil spirits.
The breaking of a lookingglaSs to
most people is an evil omen, and they
cannot be persuaded out of the belief
that some member of the family will die
before the year is w. 1t is said the
cracking of a mirror hanging beside a
picture of Josephine led Napoleon to
regard her as a doomed woman, and
that he then began to consider a sec
ond wife.

PLUNGiNG INTO DEBT.

We are still paying war taxes. An
enormous internal revenue is draining
the country. The highest protective
tariff this country has ever endured is
in operation. Government bonds to the
amount of $500, GOO, 600 have been sold.
From many sources and through all
these channels there has been a con-
slant stream flowing into the national
treasury.
At the beginning of the present adj
ministration Mckinley found $200,000000
in the treasury, the proceeds of Cleve-
lands bond sales. Another bond issue
by Mckinley turned an additional $780,
100000 into the same golden reservoir.
The tariff was raised to the highest
notch. War taxes have been levied I'M
til nothing is exempt but the air we
breathe and the water we drink. Every
check, note, telegram, money order and
document used in legal or other bust
ness transaction requires a stamp, and
compels a contribution.
From a statement just issued by the
treasury department it appears that the
for the first eight months Of the fiscal
year amount to SITS, 7S3,6S4, almost three
times as much as they were in the cor
responding period of last year.
Last month the internal revenue col
lections reached S19, GAS, 1896, as against
81, 662, 445 in February, 1898.
Wars may come and wars may go,
but the tax goes on forever. 1t would
seem that the treasury, already well
filled with gold at the beginning of
the Mckinley administration, might be
in serious danger of overlooking. Trust
a Republican administration to prevent
that
During the last congress there was
an outlay of more than half as much
again as the Billion Dollar Congress"
expended. In all, SIS 100000 was al
lowed. appropriated and authorized.
Not only have all the revenues from
all sources been disposed of by this ad-
ministration, but the surplus found in
the treasury at the beginning and the
proceeds Of the bond sale-they are all
gone already, and a deficiency of little
less than s2OO,OO0,O 900 stares the country
in the face.
Republican financiers advise another
bond issue. Although the tariff has
reached its climax and the war taxes
are to be continued, the only way to
keep pace with the Hanna Mckinley
administration is to increase the bond
ed indebtedness and keep up the pres
ent gait of extravaganza until the peo-
pie demand a change.
1t does seem that they ought to get
enough of it in another two years.

ECONOMY AND PRATT.

How is this? Arthur Pratt was the
choice of a non-partisan municipal ad-
ministration for chief of the Salt Lake
police department.
Was he chosen in the interest of econ
omy? Look az the court dockets and
see the endless and expensive litigation
which has grown oct of his maladmin-
istration of police affairs. Is there any
economy in that?
Was he selected as the proper repre-
sentative of an organization whose
watchword was "'retrenchment''
Go to the city records for an answer.
They show that the salary of the chief
of police has been reduced from $500
to $1,000 per annum, and that Chief
Pratt continues to draw the larger sum,
regardless of the salary ordinance.
Is this retrenchment? Is this Pratt's
interest in the bipartisan administra-
ton?
How can business men like Mayor
Clark, Councilmen Romney, Patrick
and Wallace. countenance such repudia-
ton of their pledges, platform, ordi-
nances and unquestioned wishes?

THAT EHGHT-HOUR VETO.

In his veto of the eight-hour law the
governor presumes to speak for the
laboring man. He might well oppose
the measure from another standpoint,
but when he speaks for labor he should
not forget that every labor organization
in the land has endorsed the eight-hour
proposition.
But there should have been no neces-
sity for the governor to misstate the
provisions of the bill as a. basis for his
Veto
Governor Wells says: "The evident
purpose of the act is to make it GRIM
inal offense for any person in the EN-
ployment of the state, county or any
municipal subdivision thereof, to work
longer than eight hours in any one cal
endar day. Apother purpose of the act
is to prohibit the laboring man from
working more than eight hours in the
same day, even though he desires and
his necessities require him to do So
According to the governors state
ment of the substance Of the measure
in his veto these conclusions are not
THE bill provides that in all con-
tracts in which the state or county or
municipal subdivision thereof is a party
it shall be stipulated that no laborer.
workman or mechanic in the employ of
the contractor or sub-contractor, shall
be required or permitted to work more
than eight hours in one calendar day,
ayceu1t in ay+,,.l ord mary fa1ooaroapav
and that such contract shall stipulate
penalty of $40 for each violation of
the stipulation therein contained
There is considerable difference be-
tween men working for contractors on
state, county and municipal undertake
state and the subdivisions thereof di-
rectly. If the bill referred solely to the
latter the veto itself is contradiction
of the constitution; if it is designed as
protection to the former only, there
is still some question as to whether
the reasons assigned for the veto are
good and sufficient.
As to the constitutionality of provid-
ing penalty for the enforcement of a
mandate of the constitution itself the
governors point does not seem clear at
first blush.
Since section of article 16 of the
state constitution provides that eight
hours shall constitute a days work on
all works or undertakings carried on
or aided by the state, county or munich
pal governments" it is not easy to COM
prehend the governors meaning when
he says:
1T seems to me, to provide that a
man shall not labor more than eight
hours in each calendar day, notwith-
standing his own necessities or the ne
cessities of those dependent upon him
might render it absolutely necessary
for him to do so, would be an interfer-
ence with the natural rights that every
man has, to labor for the support of
himself and family, or for the purpose
of acquiring, possessing and protecting
property
His eXcellency's argument appears to
be directed against the state constitu-
ton. although he holds that an eight
hour law is Of itself unconstitutional.
The veto might have passed without
comment if Governor Wells had not as
signed the particular reasons above
quoted.

AFTER THE MATINEE.

I wish I'd been a Christian maid,
With lily chin held high,
And pure eyes fixed exactly
At right angles with the sky.
But l fear if I'd been Mercia
At that meeting in the grove,
Instead of telling them to stay
And be carved up like bow
(That is some form of word for COW,
| had to make it rhyme somehow,
I'd yelled, This caucus stands adjourned
Skip out to left and right,
Wen hold another meeting
Prompt at ten tomorrow night"
wish I'd been Christian maid,
With wavy, flowing hair,
In graceful robe of white arrayed,
And SO divinely fair
That Marcus most SuperbuS
Would come marching after me
In the torchlight procession.
Glad to lay him doom and dec
CTiS most romantic, is it not?
Now comes that horrid second thought:
But being cheWed by tigers
Is not so very funny;
I'd rather go to meeting now
And bear my testimony
No, 1 wouldn't be a Christian maid
For all that Rome could give;
I'd rather go to Sunday school
In SO and liVei
Still
If | could be Christian maid
At just this very minute,
With her hypnotiZing beauty.
Marcus S. would not be in it"
For I'd capture Marcus Hanna
And convert him to my views;
And we'd shine in Kipling's latest,
And be printed in the news.
And three cheers and tiger
(Not to eat me up) would be
More than the Nile and Niger
And all their fish to me.
And instead of chewed by lions,
My Fifteenth thought confirms
I'd rather have the let-doWn
of being chewed by worms.

AFTER HIS OWN RECORD.

Geddes has fastened his pedometer on
the wheels of progress again, and is
back in his old business OF walking for
wages.
The public may grow faint and weary,
and the way to them seem long and
tortuous, but there is no rest for Ged-
des.
Like the Wandering Jew he wanders
on and ON, and he will continue to
perambulate While mileage is paid.
His record as a county commissioner
has never been broken; he has gone
against time; he has walked with the
wind, and now he is paced by water.
AS an expert on water running up
hill Archie B. Geddes has rendered in
valuable aid to the city engineer. He
has likewise asked for his mileage.

''The dining-car service of the Bur-
lington Route is about the best there
is. On every table in the dining-car
is a fresh bunch of American-be
roses, one of which the waiter affixes
to your coat when you have finished
your meal. The cloth is changed
with each guest, no matter how little
soiled. The menu, though not long,
is wonderfully well-selected and ad-
mirably served"

leaves Denver at 40 p. M. or on the Yes

and you can see for yourself how good.
how clean. how reasonable in price, our
