tions. The program is being prepared
largely under the supervision of Miss
Adams. The social settlement idea
in America is less than fifteen years
old. and in 1895 there were less than
fifty settlement houses in the entire
country. Today Chicago alone has
thirteen social settlements, with some
thing like 800 resident workers.

Within the territory north of the
Ohio river and east OF the Mississippi.
the railroad carriers are transporting
the larger part of the Interstate tratfic
at rates less than those shown on the
published tariffs filed with the COM
merce commission. which are by stat
ute the only lawful rates. While this
condition continues there will exist
the unjust determinations and the un-
just preferences and advantages be-
tween persons, localities and particu-
lar descriptions OF traffic, the preven-
ton OF which is the main object Of the
act of congress establishing the inter

securing the uniform charging of the
published rates can the just equality
of service and of charge required by
law be secured either between persons

offered to support its advice: Take
some of the cotton land that with So

tilizers will make the governmental re-
port average OF 219 pounds of lint cot
ton per acre, which is about $40 gross
receipt per acre. 1t will cost you 81
per acre with the closest economy to
produce it, leaving you 81 an acre We
will SOW it in oats; this land, with The
same amount of manure, will make
thirty bushels of oats per acre, whicn,
sold at 40 cents per hushel. will give
you s12 per acre. expenses Sc per acre,
and you have net So per acre, against

Two Pointed Questions Answered.

What is the use Of making a better
article than your competitor il you can
not geta better price for it?
Ans. As there is no difference in the
price the public win buy only the better
so that while orr profits may be smaller
on single scale they will be much
greater in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best?
II Doth articles are brought promi'
nently before the public both are certain
to be tried and the public will very
quickly pass judgement on them and use
only the better one.

Whether it is two hundred or
three hundred millions OF dollars
each year, or not, there is no
doubt but that we pay an
enormous sum annually to foreign
ships for doing our import and
export carrying. To give Ameri-
cans a chance to compete for that
carrying, Senator Hanna and
Representative Payne have united
in introducing identical bills in
each branch of Congress, which
it is believed will be pushed
through at the present session
The bill should be carefully con-
sidered on its merits, and, in the
light of the fact more than twenty
millions of dollars are annually
paid out 10 their merchant ships,
in one form or another, by the
governments of Europe, if Senator
Hanna's bill meets the foreigner
fairly on tina: ground, in order to
give our ships fair chance, then
il ought to pass.

Despite the fact that Utah has
some OF the best newspapers
cublished in the west, this state
gives less encouragement to
papers than any of our surround
ing states. The weekly papers
compare favorably with such
publications in any other state
but this must be credited to the
energy and push of fhe publishers
and not to the encouragement they
receive from the state and The
people. In many states a city as
large as Lehi would support @
daily paper but such a thing would
be impossible here unless some
man had considerable money he
wished to sink. AT one time
papers were necessarily scarce in
Utah and people scarcely saw one
but that time is past and papers
are gradually finding their way
into every home. 1t is better tor
the publishers now than it was a
few years ago yet the people and
the state must give them more
substantial encouragement before
they are equal, in this matter, tc
our sister states.

Various states, including Utah
are still fighting over the PROPOSE
ton OF who will be their repre-
sentative in the senate of the

scandals and vote buying continues
to come in. The people are
getting enough of this business
and the sooner this matter is
placed in the hands of the people
the better. "You can fool some
Of the people some of the time,
but you can't fool all of the people

When Silas came to town Saturday
he came with the ayowed intention OF
reyenging himself on II smooth-spoken
young man who had met him on 4
former visit and had relieved him OF a
carpet sack containing the visitors
money and return ticket. He did not
expect to encounter the same fellow,
but made up his mind to administer 70
the first man who claimed TO know him
the warmest reception the scoundrel
had ever met with. WI
Tatman came from BunlSum.. Bnnks
UNI is not on tho map and one could go
TO the place with n repeating rifle and
shoot all the inhabitants without re-
loading. But. small ns IL Is. 1t can boast
of citizen who outwitted four OF the
cleverest ICON" men in Chicago.
Dunkum ia also renowned for It's
large hornets nests and the warlikc
and "grouchy" disposition OF their oc.
cupants. In Tatman's hog lot hung one
of these nests from the limb OF locust
tree. II was n gigantic specimen and
the terror OF the ncighborhood.
The morning before Silas left for
Chicago he went into the hog lot very
early, before the hornets were astir. lie
took with him an old green carpet bag.
and this he opened and slipped careful
ly around the oblonR nest, closing the
clasp quickly without losing hornet.
When he took the train later in the day
he smiled with delight when he thought
OF the narrowing scene that would take
place when the carpc, bog was opened.
When Silas arrived at the depot, in
stead OF going 10 the hotel, he sat down
in the smoking room and waited. His
mission was similar 70 that OF the con-
fidcnce man, lie was in quest Of a
stranger who would cultivate his &C.
quaintance only 10 rob him OF his hor.
nets and regret II TO his dying day. De-
casionally Farmer Tntman would look
down at his carpet bag. AS he did so
he shook with glee.
The Bunkum farmer had not been
seated Ave minutes when he was ap.
preached by a fellow with sharp, in
quisitive nose and checked sui,
"Ah, hal" thought TatmGn, rs the
stranger extended his hand, "I've got

sharp-nosed individual. "Iet me see
you are from"
"Bunkum," replied Tatman.
"To be sure: Bunkum. And your
name is"
"Tatman."
"Why, OF course. How are you, Mr.
Tatman?"
"Tolerable," and Tatnan looked
down at his hornets and ehuckled.
"My name is Cunningham" went on

1t is likely that Lehi will soon
have a troop of the National
Guard, as steps to that end are
being made. If the boys are
treated right they will likely stay
with it but it they are treated like
some of the boys who live outside
of Salt Lake have been, they will
soon tire OF it.
