WE TWO.

ella Wheeler Wilcox, in May Century
We two make home of any place we go;
We two find joy in any kind of weather;
Or if the earth is clothed in bloom or
If summer days invite, or bleak winds
blow,
What matters it, if we two are to-
gether?
our weather
We two make banquets of the plainest
In every cup we find the thrill of pleas
We hide with wreaths the furrowed brow
of care,
And win to smiles the set lips of despair.
For us life always moves with lifting
We two, we two. we make our JOY. our
pleasure.
We two find youth renewed with every
dawn:
Each day holds something of an I'M
known glory.
We waste no thought on grief or pleasure
Tricked out like hope. time leads US on
And thrums upon his harp new song or
story,
We two, we two. we find the paths of
glory.
We two make heaven here on this little
earth:
We do not need to wait for realms eter-
We know the use OF tears know sorrows
And pain for us is always loves re-
our paths lead closely by the paths SUI
we two, we two, we live in love eter-

MORALITY OF THE STAGE,

Olga Nethersole has brought suit
against a Washington City minister
for slandering her in the pulpit. Be
cause she appeared in a New York
theatre not long ago in play which
was generally condemned as immoral,
The minister has attacked her personal
character. Women have taken the
role of Camille, the Partisan courtesan,
without having their reputation for
chastity assaulted, just as excellent
church workers have played leading
parts in Ten Nights in the Bar
Room" without being held up to scOrn
as common drunkards-
Because one follows the profession
of acting upon the stage does not fur
nish a justification for brutal assaults
from the pulpit or elsewhere. This
particular actress may or may not be
a chaste woman, but to infer, as this
minister has explained, that, being an
actress. she cannot be pure, and,
having taken the part of a lewd wo-
man on the stage she must be lewd in
her nature" is a manifest injustice.
The SANDER is upon the profession,
and. based upon such flimsy excuses
carries it's own refutation. That wo-
men of the stage are exposed to temp
tation cannot be denied. but why can
not this be said of women of all pro-
LESSONS?
Morality is not a professional mat

with those who boldly seek the appro-
baton of the public as it is with those
who are retiring and exclusive. It all
depends upon the woman She may
be good or bad anywhere. Nor should
it be forgotten that the fierce light
which beats upon the stage keeps the
PLAYERS in constant view. Ever act
,f a public man or woman is public
property in these days. Nothing that
they do can be concealed. There is no
mantle of privacy to cover up the
shortcomings of a man or woman in
the glare of the footIights. Every
fraiIty is naagnified. Mistakes are null
tiDlied.
Therefore it viii not do to judge the
morals of people by the occupation they
follow. While the defects of those who
are constantly before the public are
more apparent than are those of more
prosaic lines of life. it does not fellow
that there are more. Human nature
does not vary a great deal no matter
on which side of the curtain it is in
vestigated.

the attacks of the Philistines, who
would teach the sterner lessons of life

UNANSWERED QUESTIONS.

England's financial policy is the pol
icy Of this nation under the present ad-
ministration. Having made a decided
impression in India with the gold
standard, England wants to fasten it
upon the Tranevaal and Orange Free
State. And the Anglomaniaes in power
in this republic are lending encourage
ment to England in its work of sub
jugation. Nay. more. They are pay
ing England the homage of imitation.
They are themselves invading Asia, to
build up an India of their own, and
faeten the gold standard on the Philip
pines.
There are 100000 people in the Phil
ippines. They have always used silver
as medium OF exchange. To place
them on a gold basis and the enormous
business that, imperial tempters say,
awaits the termination of the conquest,
would be certain to bring them a meas

The Herald's news columns this
morning show that while thousands

week. one woman with a baby three
days OLD lay unconscious for
two days unattended and alone save
for the body of her dead husband in
the next room. From lack of attention
the child is likely to die; the
mothers life is in jeopardy now. It
was out of the question to expect help
from the women around her. Their
agony had made them oblivious to
their own needs as well as the wants
of others. This is only one incident Of
many.
Messrs. Kimball. ingalls,. Earlls and
a few others have tried to direct the
work Of relief. but their efforts have
been handicapped by physical exhaus-
ton and mental distress. Until yes
terday. when Captain Barratt Joined
them as The Herald's representative,
they have each been doing twenty
mems work.
Salt Lake has been liberal with
its money; it is time for liberal
ity in the shape of personal SER
vice. The officers of the coal company
and Rio Grande Western railway have
done superhuman things, but their
heaviest work is not yet over. Super
intendent Sharp of the coal company,

ployee Of the company. is bearing
more than his share Of the burden. He

SILVER IN THE CAMPAIGN.

Benedict Arnold prayed that the
cofonists might be maze to see the fu-
tiHty of their. opposition to the king
and lay down their arms in this he
probably saw an excuse to Justify his
betrayal Of their cause. The fore
going is from one Of the earliest his
tories of the American revolution.
Our morning contemporary puts in
most of its time these days down on its
knees praying that silver will be left
out of the Kansas City platform. His
tory is repeating the story it recorded
a century ago. It quotes from that
avcwed Mckinley organ. the New York
Herald, as an authority on the plat
form. It nnisquotes Senator Teller as
it misquoted ex- Congressman Towne a
few days ago. The New York World
undertook the same tactics with Teller
and the Denver News obtained from
him the following emphatic statement
which was reproduced in these columns
a few days ago:
Washington, D. c., April "A, 800.
Editor News, Denver, Colo:
silver question is dead. II will be the
principal issue in the coming campaign.
Personally. 1 am as much opposed to The
gold standard and the Republican party
as I was when / left that party in 1896
No true friend of silver can support that
party. II. NJ TELLER.
In addition to this the senator sent
by mail the following protest against
silver men giving up the silver fight:
I notice that some who heretofore have
claimed 10 be not simply bimetallists but
the friends of the free coinage Of silver
at the old ratio of is to I, are declaring
that they viii hereafter act. politically,
with the Republican party, nOtwithstand-
ing the action of that party at this ses-
sion OF congress. No one who is a true
bimetallist can affiliate with that party.
as il is apparent that those who have
heretofore prOfesSed to favor silver either
did not understand the Importance OF the
question, or else had no real conviction on
the subject.
Now what is the use Of the New York
Herald. and Salt Lake Tribune forming
a co-partnership for such petty bust
ness? Their work is too coarse entire

If our contemporary were honest in
an effort TO give a forecast of the
work of the Democratic convention it
would go for inspiration and informa-
ton where it went in 1896, and where it
continued to look until p Hanna Ian

James Creelman of the New York
Journal interviewed Mr. Bryan at
Port Huron last week. No one" says
Mr.. Creelman, @can doubt that the

expressed wishes. He is the undis-
puted leader of the party. His nomina-
ton is absolutely certain. and an over
whelming majority of the delegates to
the national convention look to him for
guidance and policy"
And here is that per ION Of the inter-
view which relates to the financial
policy of the Democratic party in this
campaign:

A NEW SERIAL.

The readers Of The Sunday Herald
viii be interested in the announcement
that on next Sunday, May 10, it viii
commence the publication of thrilling
romance of American life, by the
famous novelist, G. A. Henty, author
of those fascinating western stories,
''Redskin and Cowboy" In the Heart
of the Rockies" and other popular
works. Mr.. Hentys new novel is en-
titled IN the Hands of the Cave
DwelIers," and it will be of peculiar in
terest in this region, as it is the story
of an Apache raid, and abounds in
thrilling incidents of life in the south
west
It is a. story Of how a plueky Boston
boy aids in putting to rout four Next
can desperadoes wins loyal comrade,
and the hand of the beautiful Donna
Clara, and circunlvents a desperate
band Of Apaches.
The opening scenee are laid at San
Diego, in the year 1882. The hero, the
son of a wealthy Boston merchant,
having resolved upon a sea-faring life,
runs away from home, and after en-
during intOlerable persecution is forced
to deser, his ship. While wandering at
night through the little Mexican town,
William HarIand sees a lad of his own
age struggling with four desperadoes,
Harland rushes to the rescue, saves the
life of young Juan Sarasta, and on the
spot the two swear brotherhood and
eternal allegiance.
Sarasta loves and IS loved by Don
GGsmar's daughter, Donna Christina,
and the unsuccessful sutton who insti-
tuted the first attempt at ASA ssinatiOn
tries to murder both Juan and William
while on their way to the Sarasta
hacienda. The young Yankee and
Mexican fight with and kill their
would-be assassin, and upon arriving
at Juan's home, Harland promptly
loses his heart to beautiful Clara Sar-
asia.
1t is at this juncture and during the
absence of Juan and his father. that
the hacienda is attacked by 500 blood
thirsty Apaches. The Indians raid the
place, murder Madame Sarasta and
carry Donna Clara away with them.
The Boston boy faces the horrors of
this situation alone. and in recounting
his deeds of daring. his caution, cour-
age and even genius under difficulties,
Mr. Henty writes a thrilling story of
adventure. It goes with a blood
stirring swing and measure, that is safe
to hold the interest of readers of any
and every age.
The story viii be illustrated by
William NJ. Burger and the first install
ment will be published next Sunday,
May Is. No lover Of good fiction can
afford to miss it.

:
ing back must not expect single
departure to be made from the posi-
ton taken by the party in 1896.
First, because the position taken then
was right; second, it would not be
wise to ALLEVIATE those who were with
US in 1895 to please those who were
then against u.s."
There. is a manly ring in those
words And what a contrast to the
whining, shutting and squirming Of
the excuse makers who want to find
some pretext for supporting the gold
party in this campaign. Four years
ago our morning contemporary would
have commended such sentiments; to-
day it ignores them, or sneers at
Bryan, or maliciously declares that he
has zone Issue for the east and an
other for the west And how con-
temptibIe our contemporaries course in
view of its past pretensions.
Mr.. Creelman. who is a goldbug him
self, asked Mr.. Bryan a question that
leading g } Democrats Of New York
requested a. to put to the silver
champion:
THE passage of the currency bill
and its signature by Mr.. Mckinley take
it out Of the power of the next presi-
dent to change the status of gold or
silver. AS re senate will have a gold
standard majority for five years TO
come, it is impossible for any president
or any party to establish the free coin
/ age of silver during the next four
/ years. The currency question is, there
! fore. out Of the realm of practical poll
tics for the present, or. at least, out of
the sphere of either legislative or exc
cutive action. Why should a dead is
sue be reincorporated into the Demo-
cratic PLATFORM"
I'm the first place." said Mr.. Bryan,
ct do not admit that the senate is
Republican beyond all hope of
change. We are certain to make
large gains in the east if we carry the
country, whether we shall secure
enough to give US a majority in the
senate depends on the size of the
victory If the gold Democrats really
believe that it is impossible to gain
the senate, then they need not worry
about the silver plank. They ought
not to ask the party to abandon the
silver plank on the ground that it
cannot be carried out. In other
words, they should not ask us to give
up all hope of free silver so long as
they are afraid of it,
To make sure of the position of the
party on the silver question Mr.. Bryan
was asked further: will a specific
declaration for the free coinage of sill
yer and gold at a ratio of 16 to
1 be put in the PLATFORM"
His answer should silence the carpers
and dOubters:
Certainly. To drop the ratio
would be equal to dropping the ques-
ton, because no one would believe
that the party was very sincere in its
advocacy of bimetallism if we
abandon the only ratio advocated by
any considerable number of people"

LITERATURE FOR CHILDREN.

The subject Of providing proper liter
allure for children is attracting more
and more attention and calling for
more and more discussion from year
To year. As it relates TO a literature
which has a great deal to do with form
ing character and taste and stimulat-
ing interest. it may be properly treat
ed as distinct branch deserving es-
pecial consideration. After ones ma
ture or character has passed the for
native point it is not nearly so i'm

interest is first aroused.

The trashy and lurid style of sensa-

''freside story papers" is unfit FOR the
entertainment Of adult minds and can
not help being positively Injurious to
children. Childhood does not throw off
