The sensational stories INDUCED in

paper elegantly calls "Tommy-rot'

has failed to obtain When rumor
reaches a reporter concerning the ac-

The Deseret News Is the organ OF the

CONQUERED AN EVIL.

An exchange tells the story Of how
the cigarette evil was eradlcated from
one school in Chicago. There were 900
boys, and in former days many Of them
We're cigarette smokers. Now, It Is
claimed, there are none.
one Of the instructors In the academy
took the matter M and made It the
subject OF thorough study. He found
that athletes In training are barred from
cigarettes, lie discovered that OF the
scventy-hve pupils having the highest
standing in his school. but two smoked
cigarettes. OF the young fellows who
were wholly or partially failures, 81 per
cent used cigarettes,
Equipped with such data he called
the students together and in kind
talk told them OF the Injurious effects
both mental and physical, Of cigarette
smoking, particularly by young boys
who have not reached their maturity.
He asked them 10 stop smoking or
leave school, tuition to be returned to
such as were not satisfied to abide by
the new rules. This had the desired
effect Not one Of the pupils left.
The effect OF such confidential talks
with pupils is generally much more
satisfaction than the harsh enforcement
of rules, the utility Of which has never
been explained and therefore is not un-
derstood But it's absolutely necessary
that the teacher who talks sets an ex-
ample, and refrains from that which he
says is injurious 10 his pupils, For boys
so more by example than by precept

BREvETED FOR GALLANTRY,

Some readers Of the "News' who are
not posted on military usages, query az
to the nature Of the title conferred up
on those volunteer officers who have
been raised TO higher rank by
breyet They read, for instance, that
Major r. w. Young has been breveted
Colonel and Colonel for
gallantry at Manila, TulIkan river, and
Marllos rlyer that Captain f. a.
Grant has been breyeted Major for SER
vices near Manila. and that other oti-
GERS from Utah have been breveted to
different ranks, particulars Of which
may be seen In our Washington dis
patches, and they want TO know what
Il means.
Breyets 60 officers In the army reg
ular or volunteer are bestowed as hon
orary titles, for bravery or other emil
nent services to the country, and the
recipients Of the favor are entitled to
the rank, but not TO n corresponding
increase Of pay Colonel Il. w. Young
has right to this title, but being re-
tired from active service II does not
reinslate him in the army with that
rank He wears the honor however,
and 80 with the other officers breveted
for brilliant services to their country.
We congratulate them ALL and hope
they win live long TO enjoy the honors
SO justly conferred upon them.

A BAsELEss REPORT.


The Ogden Standard OF Saturday has
very severe editorial rejecting on the
veracity Of the salt Lake Herald. We
do not Wish TO echo the conclusion
reached by the Standard, hut we take
occasion to say that when the Herald
undertakes to give the public sensa.

Church and It's contemplated move
ments, II Is usually Incorrect ana there.
fore unreliable, On several occasions
that paper has INDUCED in flights Of
fancy about projects, said TO have been
undertaken or contemplated by the
Church, which have had no foundation

On Sunday, the Herald had one OF
these journalistic fakes" about the
Deseret News corner. with narIng
headlines on the first page, It an
nounced that the Mormon Church au.
thoritles contemplated building struc-
ture' there to cost from 100000 to
100000 and that the principal
object was TO bring business" to this
section OF the city. This morning the
Herald repeats the story, and endeayors

business people at the north end and
those Of the more southerly portion Of
Main street, 10 read these illusions,
one not acquainted with the facts would
imagine that a fierce building and com
inercial war was in progress in Salt
Lake City.
The Deseret News assures the public
that there is not one word OF truth in
the story, so far as II relates to the
Church, les intentions and It's purposes.
The building Of big hotel on the site
mentioned Is not even contemplated,
On the contrary, we happen to know
that this would be opposed to the de-
sign Of the Church authorities, In refer

been made, for some time. that this
corner would be a very fine spot for a
grand hotel and men with money may
have stated that they would be willing
20 invest IN such an enterprise. But
the Church authorities instead Of hay-
ing reached a decision TO "go ahead
with the project" and putting forth
strong efforts TO hold business north, "

1t Is clear that If difference really

granted should be restricted to an an
nual amount equal 20 a fair rate OF in

The professed objects Of the ship sub

to promote commerce and to encourage
deep-sea fisheries There is no reason
to believe that the proposed legislation
win accomplish these commendable OBJ
