hereafter always be raised to the peak
on Memorial Day.
This was the expressed view and wish
of Gen. Grant. 1t was his opinion that
while the day ought not to lose, and had
not lost, its significance and solemnity, it
was nevertheless not day of mourning,
but one for the commemoration Of and
rejoicing In the noble deeds of soldiers.
On such a day it was fitting that the
flag should fly at the highest point on the
staff on which it is placed.
The matter received much attention at
last years observance of Memorial Day,
and it is possible that the demand will
find recognition, before the day comes
around again, In orders by some at least
of the department commanders for the
ful-masting Of the flag.

CHAPTER VII.

One afternoon about the middle of Oc-
tober Mary sat under an apple tree in
the orchard, weeping bitterly. 1t was
In vain that Alice, who was with her,
and who by this time was able to stand
alone, climbed up to her side. patting
her cheeks and trying in various ways
to win her attention. She still wept on,
unmindful Of the sound Of rapid foot
steps upon the grass, nor until twice re-
peated did she hear the words, Why.
Mary, what is the matter? What's hap
pened?" Then looking up she saw Billy
Bender, who raised her in his arms.
Laying her head on his shoulder, she
sobbed out: ''She's gone-she's gone, and
there's nobody left but Sally. "Oh dear,
oh dear!'
Gone! Whose goneT asked Billy,
Jenny" was Mary's reply. "She's
gone to Boston, and won't come back till
next May; and | loved her so much"
"Oh, yes, know" returned Billy. II
met them all on their way to the depot;
but wouldn't feel so badly. Jenny win
come again, and besides that. I've got
some real good news to tell you."
About Ella?" said Mary.

Church Property in Spain.

Spain now boasts of possessing more
converts, more UDnasteries and more
Jesuit colleges, seminaries and estab-
llshments of all kinds than at any time
under the houses of Bourbon and Aus
tria. The last census, in 1897, showed
2S,549 nuns, 45,32S monks and priests,
1900 Jesuits, nine arehbishops, fifty
one bishops, fifty-fve deans and 1918
canons in the country. The religious
houses of every kind exceed two thou
sand. It is not possible to ascertain
their real wealth or the value of their
movable property. They pay no duties
on their real property and none on their
workshops, as they are not enrolled on
the registers Of ratepayers, only having
to pay on capital invested in stock.

At the Top.

On Memorial Day the flag flies at half
mast, because it is a day Of commemora-
ton Of the dead 1t is not uncommon
for some person appointed TO hoist the
flag to run it up to the peak, forgetting
the funereal custom; then some veteran
arrives, and causes the banner to be
dropped to half-mast.
This custom preserves the early senti-
ment of the day, when it was more day
Of mourning than it is at present. Late
ly many veterans have advised the aban-
donment Of the custom, and the issue Of
an order directing that the flag should

And so it is that in the decoration of
the graves of the heroic dead human
hands and human hearts have reached u
solution of the vexed problem that baf-
fed human will and human thought for
three decades. Sturdy sons of the South
have said to their brothers Of the North
that the people of the South long since
accepted the arbitrament Of the sword
to which they had appealed. And like
wise the oft-repeated message has gone
forth from the North that peace and good
will reigned, and that the wounds Of
civil dissension were but sacred mem
cries.
The contest that followed the end OF
argument between two great civilizations
was, while it lasted, the greatest and
bloodiest of equal duration In the au-
thenticated annals Of the race and the
most destructive ever waged by men. 1t
lasted four years; it annihilated six bill
ions Of property; it overthrew the rebel
lious governments of thirteen States; 1t
called four millions of men to arms; II
was fought on $500 recorded fields; It
filed 100000 graves from the sword and
shot and shell and pestilence; the silent
sleepers went down on mountain side
and in tangled wood, in dismal swamp
and on sunny plain; where the rivers
rolled and the wide-waved ocean stretch
ed they found sepulcher; and at last one
civilization, with its garments rolled In
blood, passed away to the shades for
ever; the other, victorious, raised a spot
less ensign in the sky, its stars washed
brighter with the glad tears Of rejoicing
humanity that the greater government
Of and for aud by the people had not
perished from the earth.

HOW WE DOOMED OUR TOWN.

Our city small. obscure and poor on Ne
praska soil was born,
Amidst the stubborn buffalo grass. and
forests of waving corn.
Where the gopher dwelt and the prairie
chick few UP in the flush OF morn.
And we were happy. nor envy felt. nor
- Tor future blsness sighed.
Till we read of Chicago and Omaha, then
with justifable pride
With those thriving towns in the census
book we burned TO be classified
So We freely subscribed the capital stock
for college to crown the hill;
For an ophanage too. and packing
house, and, enthusiastic still,
A bonus gave to street railway, and
towering cotton mill
Then for waterworks and a public park
we voted bonds straightway.
And issued stock for electric hghts-that
il might be always day:
And the county bonded for six railroads
to haul our products away.
And the boomers came from the east and
west, a hungry. Jostling horde.
And plated the farms for seven miles;
at each angle a bulletin board
Proclaimed ten corners in every block,
and we fiourished like Jonah's gourd.
and to make its record complete,
Had published a tract-Our ResouI ces,
we called the marvellous sheet,
was no contemplate feat
But immigrants priced the city lots
and passed on the other side;
The college was closed, the mill was
dumb, for the ditch that fed it was
dried;
And the Rapid Transit's' motor muis
laid down one morning and died
The taxes went up till they quadupled,
the prices of lots went down;
The merchant was grave. the sheriff
busy. while the boomer wore
frOWn-
But the railroads gave us dozen ways
to desert the busted town
And we fled The final trump will call
us together again trust
In land of no liens, nor mortgages, nor
taxes. nor moth. nor rust,
To dwell in a city not made with hands,
that no boomer can ever bust

MORE TOURISTS TO ZION.
THE DECISION of the oRicia

THE DECISION of the officials
of the Hartman and Gould
lines to permit passengers to
choose their route between Salt Lake
and Denver is one that promises
highly beneficial results to Salt Lake.
Experience has shown that nearly
every tourist that comes west is al
ways anxious to visit Zion and make
a personal investigation of a place
that is so much talked about, and OF
which so little is really known by the
average easterner. Experience also
teaches that to see the city is to be-
come charmed with it. To examine
its resources is to awaken an admira-
ton for its achievements and firm
faith in its future growth. Old pref
udices vanish and the visitor goes
away 10 disseminate the truth about
Salt Lake and to help wipe out er-
roneous impressions. In some cases
he returns and makes it his home.
Anything that tends to increase
the number of tourists to the city
must. therefore, be an inestimable
advantage to It over and above the
increased business that their imme-
date presence brings. 1t is parti >
ularly beneficial just at this tim,
when Salt Lake is entering upon an
era of increased prosperity The e
has been no boom, but business has
been advancing with wonderful
strides For many months the local
bank clearings have shown increases
that. in some cases, have had no pro-
portionate equal in any other city in
the country.
There are indications of a still
greater advancement in the near flu
ture. Development of the resources
of the state was never more active.
In a few years Salt Lake is assured
of becoming the distributing point of
the shortest transcontinental line In
America. This same line will also
open up some of the richest country
in the southern part of the state. All
the railroads are exerting themselves
to build up the state by bringing in
settlers.
Never were the conditions in Salt
Lake so attractive, and anything that
viii bring outsiders 20 view them
personally viii be of immense value
to the city, if the business men will
but take some means to see that
strangers are thoroughly posted on
all the charms and resources of the
city before they leave town.

WHY NOT DENNIs7

IN ITS BLIND DEVOTION to
Ezra, it is to be feared that the
Republican machine is doing a
grave injustice to the real mayor
Of Salt Lake. It's loyalty to Mr..
Thompson is Of such disinterested
and ingenious nature that It may
well have made this oversight IN
Willingly. If so, it should be speed
lily corrected, before a great wrong
Is done.
TIE humble. unaspiring individual
who acts as district attorney, chair
man Of the Republican county COM
mittce, chairman of the Republican
city committee, deputy mayor and
mayors clerk, is deserving of some
consideration. We refer, Of course
to the Hon. Dennis Eichnor.
Ever since Ezra was elected the
Hon. Eichnor has busted himself
most assiduously in running the city
according to true Republican ma
chine principles. His success has
been all that the most ardent ma
chine-man could desire. To overlook
him now and present the Office to
Ezra. without even so much as an
endorsement of the Hon. Dennis
Eichnor and his faithful administra-
ton. would be gross ingratitude.
There may be some who think that
the Hon. Eichnor has enough Offices
without burdening him with that of
mayor. Not sol He Is as versatile
as his name. The district attorney
ship and the chairmanships are but
pastimes. things that he can attend
to when there is nothing more press
ing on hand.
The Hon. Eichnor is not given to
frivolities, and has never seen "The
Mikado.p But those of his friends
\, who have say there is one part in II
that he fd play to perfection
There is. therefore, absolutely nc
reason for the machine TO refuse t.
make him Its mayoralty candidate

THAT BOSTON PETITION.
rOHE PETITION to have OK

rTHE PETITION to have Col
gosz's sentence commuted TO
= life imprisonment, which is
being circulated by the Social Al
lance of Boston, though it may
spring from entirely good motives, is
IN extremely bad taste.
T. those who are opposed to the
inhiction of the death penalty, the
argument that the ends of justice,
Ike vindication of the law and the
higher interests of civilization will
lie better served by this change in
the form of the penalty might have
some weight. But even these, if they
VIII take the trouble to look into the
question more deeply, must admit
the error of the reasoning.
The people of the state of New
York have established a law provid-
ing that the penalty for murder IN
the FIRST degree shall be death in
the electric chair. In crimes where
there are mitigating circumstances
she ends of justice are often better
served if it be tempered with mercy.
But no such plea can be made IN
the case of Czolgosz. He has be n
guilty of the highest crime possible
Compared with the atrocity of his
act ordinary murder is made insiG-
nifcant. Even the most charitable
can find for the wretch not a single
excuse. His deed was prompted Ny
PURE fendishness, undiluted by 4
single extenuating circumstance
For Governor Odell to exert his
power of clemency in this case would
establish a precedent for the comm L
tatiOn of the sentence of every muir
dever that might hereafter be found
guilty by the courts of New York,
and e could not, with any regard to
common decency, refuse. 1t would
be manifestly unjust to show elem
ency to the greatest of criminals,
while letting the lesser ones suffer
the extreme penalty.
Consequently the petition of the
Boston society resolves itself into a
request that the governor of New
York nullify a law established by the
people For such an act there can
be no justification. Nothing is more
disastrous to the good order of a
commonwealth than uncertainty in
the execution of its laws, especially
of those against grave crimes.
There are many who believe the
death penalty wrong; many who
think it right. Some states where it
was abandoned have returned to it.
But, whether proper or improper, the
question is one that only the law
making representatives of the state
are competent to decide. Where they
have decided one way it is the duty
of the courts and the executive to
obey.

VOICE FROM STATE.
Superintendent of Eureka Schools
Discusses University's Functions.

Superintendent of Eureka Schools
Discusses University's Functions.
To the Editor of The Herald:
In The Herald of Tuesday, I find the
following statement in a discussion of the
High school situation in Salt Lake City:
Mr. Newman seems TO be of the opin-
ion that no High school on the east side
of the city is needed; that the High school
students who do not care 10 cross the
city to the west side can attend the Onl-
VerSity of Utah, where they VIII lind
practically the same courses OF STUDIES.
| am unable to understand why state
university, governed by state board ana
maintained by the revenues or the WhoIe
commonwealth should serve the purpose
of a high school for the city in which II
happenS TO be located. L submit that the
impression made by the opinion quoted
above is that 1t should serve such pur-
pose
states. with meagre educational facilities
it is necessary for d time to maintain
the full four years preparatory M4Ih,
but such work is maintained Tor those
who come from the country districts re-
mote from academies and high schools;
but to have a state university cOnSldeIeQ
as an overflow school for the high school
of our leading city, by the president OF
the board of education, is certainly an
innovation.
our state and school systems have now
attained such a degree OF advancement
that the proposition of dropping the pre-
paratory or high school department OF
the university at an early date Snoulu
be considered. instead OF COnJrlFlnB now
we may further OVerCrOWd. this depart
nent to the detriment of the university
work proper This change. of course, can
not be made at once and the best inter
eSts of all be conserved. but suppose the
first or lower preparatory year should
be discontinued with the year beginning
in September, 1902. the next one the year
following. and so on; thus the preparatory
work might be entirely eliminated in 1870:
1 doubt not but that some such plan OF
cutting off at least the first two years OF
preparatory work has already been con-
sidered by the faculty and regents of the
university. This would tend TO the or
ganiza ton of more local high schools
and the doing of the preparatory work
where it should be done, and would leave
our university free TO do the higher work
for which il was intended.
Let US. then. have more and better
high schools in the state, thus keeping
our pupils at home during their period
of preparation for the university, and
clear the way for the advance work there
which the faculty so much desires to do.
Moreover. let President Newman get in
line with this idea. instead of attempting
to crowd the state university with Salt
Lake City High school boys and girls.

KILLED A MILLIoN SQUIRRELS.
Destruction of the Pests in Bear
Lake County. Idaho.
minneapolis TimesO

minneapolis IlmeS-l
It is estimated that over 600 600
squirrels were killed this year in Bear
Lake county. Idaho. That this estimate
IS conservativ is proven by the fact
that the county commissioners this
month paid out $500 in bountIes for
the squirrels. The bounty for a part
OF the time was cents, and for the rest
of the season 1 cent each. About one
half of this sum was at the rate of
cents. A little calculation Will show
that 562,500 scalps were presented for
the bounty.
As the destruction of the squirrels is
attempted largely by means Of poison.
tens Of thousands of squirrels died in
their burrows. Tens Of thousands more
innoculated with the disease called
squirriln died. No record could pos
sibly have been kept Of these, neither
can an approximate of the number
killed by cats. dogs. hawks, etc, be
made. 1t is certainly safe to assume
therefore, that a round million were
killed this year in this county. Large as
is this number. there is no appreciate
dlminution in the crop, and the war
Of determination will be wagad lust as
fiercely next season. when the young
are brought down by the mother squir-
rels from the hills into the whea :
fields.
This slaughter has been wage1 for
years, and the wonder OF it all is that
the squirrel tribe has not vanished
from the land. But it has not md every
year hundreds of acres Of valuable
crops are destroyed by the animals
A wheat field examined shortly after
having been visited by the squirrels
presents a sorry aspect. The wheat
was in the milk, and the squirrels cut
it down just at the first joint. Several
hundred acres were cut n shis way
and utterly destroyed.
There are four or five counties in the
state infested with these pests, and tie
number slaughtered is beyond compu-
tation. r
