There has been a heavy draft on the
Treasury for more than a million dol
lars worth of small coins-one-cent
and fve-cent pieces-and the conclu-
sion is drawn that this is a striking
evidence of the activity of the retail
trade. That the inference is correct
is more than probable, but it is also
probable that other causes have been
at work. In England it was found
that a greatly increased dema al for
bronze pence aud half pence arose
from the use of penny-in-the-s slot ma
chimes. These machines not only
created an extra demand, but they
cause a certain amount of boarding
of these coins, which collected in con
siderable quantities in the machines,
and until again distributed were prac'
tically withdrawn from circulation.

CHINA'S CONQUEST NEXT.

remain in the Orient vi ct arms, then
rest assured We shall not be able to

tiny will lead US into the main land
of Asia from the islands which fringe
the China sea, and greed and ambi-

over which other republics have gone
before.

ENFORCE. THE QUARANTINE.

the mothers ana sisters. through the
organizations TO which they belong,

1t is TO the Indifferent manner in
which quarantine regulations have

diseases are largely due. The ladies

Committees will visit the officials of
the public schools to see if anything is
lacking in the sanitation of the various
buildings A general cleaning up will
be the result. The state board of
health is preparing to issue a circular
explaining in simple terms what the
premonitory symptoms of scarlet fever
are. Teachers, parents and pupils will
thus be made acquainted with the
causes, symptoms. dangers of scarlet
fever. and the necessity for strict quar-
antine IN such cases.
Physicians who are careless in re-
porting scarlet fever cases and parents
who are negligent about following in
structions should be reported and re-
proved in the public press. Something
should be done to stop the spread of

PRoBLE EN- OF THE FALLEN.

A meeting has been called for 4
o'clock this afternoon at the Y. M. c..
A. rooms to discuss the continuance or
abandonment of the Rescue Home
work which has been inaugurated by a
number of heroic church women of this
city. Under the most discouraging cir
cumstances these women have under
taken the salvation of abandoned
women, the protection of helpless and
unfortunate girls who could look no
where else for protection. Doubtless
much of the effort has gone for naught:
unquestionably the good done has been
incalculable.
Undaunted by the problem before
them the managers of the home have
gone ahead, unselfishly devoting their
time and energy and money to the up
lifting of the fallen Now they are
confronted with the opposition of peo-
pie who object to the prosecution of
such work if it is to come anywhere
near them. Time after time the home
has found quarters only to be met by
the bitter fact that supposed Christians
cannot tolerate the proximity of an in
stitution intended for the salvation of
souls.
This afternoons conference will de-
termine whether Salt Lake will sup
port the rescue work: whether an abid-
ing place can be found for the institu-
ton and whether the weak. the help
less, the outcast of womankind shall
have shelter from the consequence of
their sins-or whether this city has
reached the point where it has ample
room for brothels but none for those
who would escape from them. The Her
aid hopes the Rescue Home will con-
tinue its good work and that the Chris
tan sentiment OF the communitv will
show its sympathy and practical sup
port Of the women who are upholding
the home.

MILK AND A MILK TRUST.

And now milk trust has been
formed. Twenty-seven of the thirty
seven local milk dealers have entered
the unholy combination, and the sur
render of the remaining ten is ex-
pected hourly. If the Salt Lake public
gives TO these ten Independent dealers
the encouragement they deserve, it will
not be necessary 70 yield to the exac-
tons of the trust.
To avoid the antitrust penalty it
has been given out by the dealers rep
resented in the combine that no agree
ment was made, but only an under
standing reached 1t amounts to the
same thing. But the best way to meet
the situation, it seems, is to let the
trust so its way and to patronize i'm
dependent dealers as far as possible
until they grow up to the demands Of
the trade.
The proposition to do business on a
cash basis is all very well; it is better
for all concerned; but to raise the price
of milk above cents quart in a
grazing and agricultural country like
this, is apparently uncalled for. To
make both of these changes at once
will seem like bearing down pretty
hard on the Salt Lake public at the
beginning of winter.

UTAH AS A DWELLING PLACE,

People are beginning to see through
the schemes of the storm starters.
Home seekers are finding out that the
croakers have misrepresented condi-
tons in Utah, and that this is one
of the finest residence states in the
Union. Investors are becoming salts
fed that the people OF Utah are as law
abiding. moral and upright as are the
people of any state or country in the
world. and that the courts can be relied
upon TO enforce the laws.
All that was needed to induce home
seekers to come this way and capital
lists to make investments in this inter
mountain region was an exposure of
the methods and objects of the libelers
of Utah and her people. A very little
investigation invariably results in such
exposure.
The truth is that no other state pre-
sents so many opportunities and in
dueements, based upon varied and I'M
developed natural resources, as may be
found in Utah right now. The people
OF the state compare favcrably with
those OF any community in morals. in
telligence. industry and patriotism.
Utah IS the coming state and her
people can be relied upon to defend
American institutions Their progress
during the ten years last past has been
phenomenal. Only chronic croaker
