RAILWAY CONDUCTORS PLAN

An effort will be made by the Order
of Railway Conductors of this city and
state to secure the meeting here of
the grand division of the order in 1901
To this end a committee has been ap-
pointed by the local division of the
order, with George L. Corner as chair
man, to effect the preliminary organiza-
ton necessary. J. A. Henley, who is the
delegate to the grand division meeting
in Detroit this year, is working with
the committee.
1t is the intention of the conductors
to arm themselves in advance with in
vitations from state. county and city
officials, prominent citizens and others,
so they may be able to assure their
brethren at the Detroit meeting that
Salt Lake will entertain them royalty
and do everything possible to make
their meeting in 1901 a great success
if it is convened in this city.
The Herald bespeaks for the order the
cordial cooperation of the community
in its undertaking. The grand division,
which meets every two years, calls
together from two to four thousand
railroad men and their friends. It's
session extends over a period of three
or four weeks and its representative
character makes it a desirable body to
have as guests of the commonwealth.
The standing of the local organiza-
ton with the railroads is evidenced by
the fact that the general officials of
the railroads provided free transpor-
tation for those members who met here
Sunday night to form a Salt Lake di
vision of the order.
Such men deserve the active support
of every one who is interested in calling
attention to Utah's resources and at
fractions as a convention city.

There is no reason why City Engineer
Kelsey should not have a general su-
pervision os the construction of the
waterworks improvements, to see that
his ideas and plans are carried out.
But this is a very different thing from
the proposition embraced in Buckles
resolution to turn the work of con-
struction, and, obviously, the employ
ment ot men, TO him entirely. The
Herald expressed a doubt at the time
as to Mr.. Kelsey's desire to take charge
OF the labor, as it is altogether outside
of the line of his profession and duties.
The original scheme was clearly politi-
cal. But the personal supervision of
the city engineer seems TO be within
the scope of his official duties.

Judge Colborn has compiled a valu-
able pamphlet for the Union Pacific,
containing an exhaustive write-up of
the various resources of Utah, the in
dustrial and commercial interests and
opportunities, the attractions of noun
tain and valley. the institutions of the
cities and of the commonwealth, and
to say that it is interesting, accurate,
and instructive, is but another way Of
saying that it is written in the au-
thors well-known style. There is a
complete roster of mining properties
and the latest statistics, climatic, in
dustrial, financial and agricultural, are
given by counties and in tables of sum-
maries, making it at once a work of
reference and the most condensed adj
vertisement of Utah that has ever been
put out. Such publication, issued by
a chamber of commerce, would have
done the city vast amount of good;
and, sent out by the railroad company
with its compliments, will certainly
draw the attention of many homeseek-
ers and investors this way. 1t answers
questions the like of which are being
asked daily in every city of the Union.

of the Democratic club, even when that
refutation was signed by all the ladies
and when they offered to pay for its

justice before the organs readers. And

ords show that we do a fairly good
business in this line here in Utah. But,
from a recent issue of the Atlanta Con-
stitution, it appears that the divorce
racket is being overworked in that state,

appearing in this most unsavory court
increases every year, the Constitution
says There was a time when the
docket was made up almost wholly Of
negroes. Now the whites form a con-
siderable number, which will increase
in ratio as the system begins to be look
ed upon as respectable. These laws are
a foul blot upon the fair name of the
state, existing simply for the least
worthy part of the population, and OBJ

SOME GOOD SHORT STORIES
Governor Roosevelt.
Chicago Chronicle.)

B. Cornell OF Homewood, Ills, sends
the following little story about Cover
nor Roosevelt:
One day while he was a Schoolboy it
came his turn to speak piece" He
was one Of the hest declaimers in the
school. His elocution was greatly adj
mired by the scholars, and it was
equally source of satisfaction to his
teacher. On this particular Friday af-
ternoon a number of the town people
had come in to witness the exercises,
and everybody was expected to do his
best. Young Roosevelt had selected for
his defamation and carefully commit
ted to memory the Well-knoWn poem,
Marco Bozzaris.' He went to the
platform, made a stately bow and
commenced:
AT midnight in his guarded tent
The Turk was dreaming of the
hour,
When Greece her knee
and there he stuck He had forgotten
the lines. But he started again at the
beginning:
AT midnight in his guarded tent
The Turk was dreaming of the
hour,
When Greece her knee

coughed, wiped his lips with his hand
kerchief, and blushed painfully.
when Greece her knee"-
he repeated, and again in despair,

but it was hopeless, and he looked over
toward his teacher for sympathy.
Grease her knee again, Theodore"
suggested the teacher, with wink,
and maybe she'll 60"
At that the whole school burst into
laughter and the future governor of
New York fled, mortified, from the
stage

THE INDWELLING SPIRIT.
(Matthew Arnold.l

CMatthew Arnoldl
Yet grant--as sense long missed
Things that are now perceived,
And much may still exist
Which is not yet believed
Grant that the world were full of Gods we
cannot see;
All things the world which ill

That we who rail are still,
With that we rail at. one;
One with the o'er-labored Power that
through the breadth and length
OF earth. and air. and sea,
In men. and plants. and stones,
Hath toll perpetually.
And travels, pants, and means;
Fain would do all things well, but some

Something of a new departure for the
Salt Lake theatre was the cinemato-
graph exhibition which opened a three
nights engagement last night. The
audience was very small, due in a meas
ure to the fact that many interesting
features of the entertainment were not
advertised. There were some awkward
bitches and waits at the beginning,
which WILL no doubt, be done away with
in the other performances.
The first part consisted of the pic
lures of the Passion Play, similar to
those given at the Grand a few months
ago. They were impressive and awe
inspiring.
Then there We're many miscellaneous
pictures given which were excellent,
and much enjoyed by those present. The
scenes from railroad trains were espec-
tally interesting, as well also the rough
riders scene, the Swiss waterfall, the
camel scene and Echo canyon. The
special feature of the evening, the much
advertised Battle of Manila" was held
off for rather a long time, almost until
the anticipation became Impotence. 1t
came, however, to the accompaniment
of THE Star-spangled Banner" and
we saw the fight, perhaps, as well as
black and white with some yellow fire
from the back) could represent it to
US. The Spanish ships burned up, as
billed, and the stars and stripes waved
in triumph at the end.
The entertainment is highly interest
ing all through, and we'll worth the
price of admission.
There will. no doubt, be larger aud
fences when people learn the nature of
the entertainment

THE LIFE OF DAVID.

At the Old South church, last night
Rev. DR.. A. z. Conrad preached an elo-
quent sermon from the subject, "Strik-
ing scenes in a great life drama" TAX
ing for his text, Psalms. iv:5 "Offer the
sacrifices of righteousness and put your
trust in the Lord"
The greater part of the discourse was
taken UP by a beautiful word picture
of two scenes in the life of David. The
first dwelling on the coming of The
prophet at evening to the house OF
Jesse, bearing intelligence that he had
been empowered by the Lord to an
ONT one of his sons who should be-
come king of Israel; the fear of the
father lest the anointment of one OF
his sons should bring down the wrath
of the king upon his household, and the
final settlement on David, the young
est Of the family, as the one chosen by
the Lord to reign over Israel, were
graphically brought out.
The second scene dealt with the
championing of the Israelites by the
youth David, and his overcoming, with
strength from his God, the giant Co
Hath
The lessons to be learned are that
Gods kings are found among the peo-
pie and this is the great and perma
nent truth that should be impressed or
the mind Of the youth; second, the Sc.
cret of inVincible life.

MR.. ECKEL,S OPINION,

James H. Eekels, former comptroller
of the treasury and now president of
the Commercial Bank of Chicago,
expresses himself as thoroughly salts
fed with present conditions, particular
ly the trade outlook. but he is hope
full that congress will look into the
sub-treasury system as he considers
its effect on the trade conditions most
important. The monetary conditions
of the month have re-emphasized the
demand for some kind Of legislation
at Washington that will make it less
easy to create a currency famine in
the midst of a plethora of it, said
Mr.. Eekels; THE sub treasury contin-
ues to swallow up great amounts that
should be kept in the channel of daily
trade and commerce. 1 would like to
see congress set about making careful
investigation of the effect of the sub
treasury system upon the country S
business conditions. The daily loss
through its operation to all business
undertakings in a time such as this
must be enormous"
Concerning the general business con-
ditions as reflected in New York, Mr.
Eekels said, Everyone in New York
bears testimony to the solid character
of all legitimate business. The coun-
try's foreign and domestic trade contin-
ues at the large volume noticeable
throughout the year. The export trade
can only be curtailed by the too high
prices of our products and manufcctur-
ed produce coupled with the increas-
ing ocean freight rates and the scar
city of tonnage. If the English gov
eminent is commanding for consid-
cradle length of time an important
number Of large Atlantic freighters for
transportation service, these freight
rates will continue

BIO be wiser than we are, we must study
and reason and think now. If we mean
to be strong, we must obey the laws
of health now. If we mean to gain
and enjoy the good things of this world,
we must attend to the matter now. II
we mean to do any good in the world,

If we always had the courage, self-de-

result not only to us, but to others.
Our ideal must be always higher than
our attainment. This is true of the
present, though dare hope that in the
infinite years of the future to which
the loving Father will bring us, he will
find a way for us to reach our loftiest
aspirations, and will make for our
struggling souls the ideal, the possible;
still, just according to our faithfulness
in all duty, will be our reward. Each
enc, by considering what he ought to
be doing, can tell just what it is. He
can tell what he ought to be. 1t is
useless to gaze at the ideal with admi-
/ration If we cannot summon courage
and strength to advance toward it.
Weakness is of the flesh. Strength is
of the spirit. Both are with us now

duties required of us. will be our fail
ure or success in attaining the work
