CA OTHING Is 50 DEAR and pre-
~ cious as time" wrote Rabelais
some hundreds OF years ago, and the
words ring as true today as they did
when the ink on his quill was stin wet.
More than ], 500 years before Radicals,
the Savior voiced ehe same idea in diff
ferent words, the words with which
tits message be sins. Once a king lying
on his deathbed fnoaned; Il would give
my kingdom for one more hour OF
time" Was he thinking of the oppor-
tunities he had lost, the many, many
hours he had thrown heedlessly away?
Nothing is so valuable as time, and
nothing is used with so much
proaigaey. No man is sure Of tomor-
row, ana yet how many spend today
as if there were no limit to the tOmor-
lows? We begin wasting time in our
youth, and we keep right on wasting
r. until time for US comes to an end
The individual who says he hasn't time

than the amount of time that would
nave been consumed in accomplishing
what was desired Of him.
Time wasted is opportunity wasted
There Is a word in the lexicon which
has only three letters, but it means
more for the good of humanity than any
word Of forty 1t is the word now.
The past is gone forever; what the fu-
ture may bring no man can say; all we
have is the present, and all that the
present contains is in the word now"
1t is not. necessary for people TO de-
vote every waking hour to business. or
10 cut short the hours Of sleep in order
to nave more time for work.
That is going to the other extreme,
and i'm the end it viii mean less time

set the greatest possible good out of it.

YOUNG MEN AND OLD.

WHILE THE NATION is proud of its
" young men, proud of the positions
they occupy in the worlds business, of
statecraft. Of science and Of art. it
should also be proud Of its old men, of
those who have given To their country
all that is best in them. Time was
when they, too, were young, when their
hair had not been touched with The
frost of age. when their blood ran
riotously and their hearts beat high
with ambition and with courage. Time
viii be when the young men of today
are old men. when their steps will grow
feeble. when the blaze of youthful sr-
der viii burn low in their eyes.
VIII they, in the evening Of their
lives. step aside with patient forbear-
ance to make room for another genera
ton? President Roosevelt has said
that the old men in the army must give
way TO their juniors. In effect, he de-
elares that, having sacrificed to he
flag that all OF US love the halcyon
period of their existence. they must ie-
tire into the obscurity which envelops
all who pass from the gaze Of the
public eye. It seems a harsh. a cruel
order, especially TO men who believe
they have many years of usefulness
yet ahead of them.
Let us reflect a moment. Does gray
hair incapacitate a maa for duty to
his country? Who in salt Lake does

His hair. his beard and his moustache
were as white as the snow that <ell

Did that prevent him from leading his
regiment up san Juan hill? Home they

side that seemed inevitably fatal
But there was another fight left in

! He was not too old to die a soldiers
death. and. perhaps. he was more for
tUnate than those who are left behind
/ Lawton was another such character
and he, too, was fortunate in his death
The rest must now be turned out to
Craze in quiet pastures while men who
were in swaddling clothes while they
were fighting the nations battles come
in to take their places. And yet there
is no other way Youth must and Will
/ be served. President Roosevelt may be
right in displacing the veterans, ne
may be wrong. Time. alone can show

THE CASE or Mr.. THOMAS.

CECRETARY HAYS EXTREME
y delicacy in matters where England
is concerned was never more aptly IL
lustrated than in the case Of Mr.. and
Mis-. II. w. Thomas of Chicago. 50
fearful was Mr.. Hay that he would
offend Great Britain that he declined
to ask that government to give Mr.
and Mrs. Thomas the right to go at
viii through the British camps ana
lines for the purpose Of aiding the Boer
sick and wounded. Verify, this demon
stration of the niceties of diplomacy
does not reflect credit on our secretary
of state.
II hasn't been SO very long since
American money was used in hitting
out a hospital ship for the British sick
ana wounded. This ship was called
the Maine. in commemoration of the
Inflated cruiser destroyed by Spanish
treaehery in Havana harbor. Did any
body hear Mr.. Hay protest against
upsetting Diplomatic precsdent52 Has
Mr.. Hay forgotten the work of Clara
Barton in the Franco-German war;
Didn't she so in and out Of the OPP
posing camps without a hand 20 stay
her in her errand of mercy?
Surely the wheels Of diplomatic prog
ress would not have been blocked il
MIR. Hay had preferred a request for
a safe-conduct fo- Mr.. and Mrs Thorn
as through the English camps and
lines. 1t is true that Mr.. Thomas had
openly proclaimed himself BoeT
sympathfzer. but he did not expect to
go near the firing line 1t would have
/ been manifestly impossible for him to
further the cause of the Beers in any
way. His errand was an errand OF
mercy. of ministration 20 the sick and
the suffering. of care for the dying

JEFFERSON DAVIS MEMORIAL ARCH.

After ten years of agitation and tireless effort on the part of many southern men and women the way IS clear for the erection of a memorial of Jefferson Davis, which shall be cred it to the south.
 When the former president of the Confederacy breathed his last in New Drleans a single sentiment seemed to animate all, to-wit, that some suitable form of monument should be erected to his memory, in whatever city his mortal remains should find permanent sepulcher. The work of raising funds for a monument was immediately un- dertaken by the United Confederate Veterans. and the place selected for such monument was Richmond, Va, which had been the capital of the Con- federacy and the home of MT. Davis during the most exciting period of the Civil war
 It is praiseworthy of all who fol lowed the cause led and lost by Jeffer. son Davis, to erect a memorial arch to their dead hero. MT. Davis was the idol of the south during the Civil war, no man ever led a more loyal people or who followed with more confidence and devotion Let those who remain pay tribute to the man who led them unseihshly in a cause which he be- lieved promised he widest range of liberty and happiness
