"THE WEDGE OF GOLD"

Everywhere a Republican, candidate
haz been elected to Office since 1896. the
Indianapolis Journal says that a dec
laration in favor of a single gold stand
ard has been made by the people. Ever
since the campaign of that year this
issue has been foremost in the minds
of voters. it says. And this is given as
an excuse for the utter abandonment Of
all pretense towards favoring bimetal-
lism of any kind under any circum-
stances, the position occupied by the
Republican party today.
"The people having declared in two
general elections in favor Of the gold
standard" slys the Hoosier organ Of
the g. O. D.. "the congress elected on
that issue would be recreant TO duty
and unmindful Of the voice Of a ma
jority of the voters if it did not place
the gold standard where it cannot be
set aside except by an act of some fu-
ture congress."
In the opinion of the Journal this
has been tho purpose Of the Republican
party "since 1873, when, in a Repub-
lican congress and under a RepubH-
can administration. the entering wedge
for the currency bill now before con-
gress was inserted.

SOCIETY NOTES.

At the business meeting Of the
WCman's club. held yesterday, Mrs.
Kelsey suggested that the members
should take the initiative in forming a
Working Girls club. The idea Itself is
not new one. TIE subject has been
discussed from time to time, but it has
remained for the Woman's club TO for
mulate plans and work for its organ
izat!on- Mrs. Kelsey spoke earnestly
in behalf of the mOvement and thought
similar to like organizations in the
large eastern cities. There should be
rooms furnished down town where the
working girl could spend the noon hour
and ind rest and recreation. In con-
neCtiOn with it there should also be a
library free of access to the members,
and perhaps literary society.
Mrs. Kelsey WAS appointed Chairman
Of a committee TO investigate the mat
tel and suggest plans for permanent
organization.

GENERAL METHUEh's BADGE

Notwithstanding the efforts of the
London war department to lay all the
blame of its own bad 5udgment upon
the generals in command Of the Brit
fsh forces in South Africa, some of
these commanders have been looked
upon as among the greatest military
characters Of the age, while others
have records for personal courage as
well az for gallant leadership on fields
Of battle.
one of those VINO is blamed most, be
cause he mas suffered most in the
Transvaai war, is General Methuen-
Still. the records Of the British army
contain many references 10 his saga

LAR GE STANDING ARMIES.

In the course OF a long winded argU-
ment in favor of a large standing army.
which. it very properly contends. is
necessary 10 the colonial policy mapped
out by the administration, the Com
merciaI Advertiser Of New York be-
rates the American people roundly for
their reluctance TO embark upon a ca
reer of conquest or to adopt a scheme
of mHitarissn.
1T seems a shabby thing for a people
that viii not endure a standing army.
that viii not prepare for war in time
Of peace; that viii not pay the cost Of
military equipment, which cannot be
improvised in q few weeks, nor bear
the cost and labor of the large maneu-
vers which are necessary to train gen
erals and STAFF chiefs in handling Of
large bodies of men," SAYS our New
York contemporary, "to turn upon its
government with furious reproach and
sharp retribution when it comes TO
grief in war by reason of imperfect
preparation anu equipment"
That is an unjust arraignment OF the
American people LIe9 are always pre-
pared for war, better prepared than if
they were engaged in constant broiIs as
England is, or weighted down with
militarism as France is. The record
shows with what success the citizen
soldiery OF America has repealed the in
vader. and asserted our national rights
or avenged our national wrongs against
the trained soldiers of empires.

erence is made by the New York pa

explains the feeling and me situation
in money circles thus:
At the moment there is little disposition

needed to attract the outside public.

When Colonel Cartwell was military
governor of Norfolk under the cOnfeder-
acy in 1862 he ordered the British consul
20 report for duty on the home guard. To
this the Englishman objected on the
ground of being consul at Norfolk.
TO what government asked Colonel
CartweIi.
ITO the United States government, 50
was the reply.
But you are in the confederate states.
and you must show papers accrediung
sou to the confederate states Of Amer

'But my government doesn't recognize
you as q government said the consul.
Very well, then. my government
doesn't recognize you as consul. bTtskIy
retorted Colonel Cartwell. Shoulder
your musket and join your company"
At this the peacefully disposed consul
threatened to have a gunbOat come and
lombard the place before he would serve.
That's just what I'd like 10 see, re-
turned the colonel, cheerily. 'for then the
United States viii fight you. as she claims
that Norfolk is still part Of the Union
and between England and the United
States fighting we shall SO free.

DisCRETE VARIOLA.

Vaccination is not required by health
officers, as many suppose, for the pro-
lection Of the individual vaccinated-
His safety, his health is his private
concern, as Observation-Disclosures very
properly contend. But vaccination, like
other precautions taken by boards Of
health, is for the protection Of cUmmu-
mites.
Previous TO the introduction Of pro-
oesses Of vaccination" says Charles w.
Dulles an authority IN the subject,
smallpox was one Of the most dreaded
Of diseases and in Europe millions OF
persons lost their lives from its raw
agas. Since the general use of vacci-
nation, and. probably partly on account
of advancing intelligence and improved
hygienic conditions am0ng all classes
Of society, the ravags5 Of smallpox
have diminished to such an extent that
only at long intervals and in few To-
calitles does 1t appear in the form of
an epidemic"
Smallpox exists today in Kansas City.
in St. Paul, in Dixon, H., and in other
cities Of the east and west Last win
ter il was prevalent in Los Angeles, in
Indianapolis and in several of the
larger cities. There are districts In
some eastern states where smallpox
has a fOothOld today. But the people
are exercising caution, getting vacci-
mated and enforcing quarantine regula-
tons without the least alarm for the
future It has been so many years since
the people of Utah have had their at
tention called to the disease that many
Of them seem 10 think it exists nowhere
else.
But il is a mild form everywhere this
winter. and If checked there is no great
danger. Like all contagious and fnfee-
tious diseases il becomes virulent
through neglect, and the only danger
Iies in refusal or failure TO comply with
the requirements Of the health officers
