II ARMY.

THE SALT LAKE BRANCH of the
L Salvation Army more than justified
it's existence last Thursday. 1t was
Thanksgiving day to far the greater
part Of the world, but to a considera-
BILE portion Of the people of this city
it would have been merely Nov. q,
1902. if it had not been for the Saliva
ton Army With money and provi-
siOns, gathered as a result of hard
work. the Salvation Army gave a din
ner.
To it were invited men and boys and
women who would nave gone hungry
had the army tables been bare. There
were some hundreds of them, and they
ate without money and without price
until all were satisfied. Many good din
ners were eaten in Salt Lake last
Thursday. Soft lights gloWed on snowy
damask, and gay parties gathered
about fower-strewn tables. But no
dinner was eaten with greater zest,
none was more thoroughly enjoyed,
than the one given by the Salvation
Army.
Verify, I say unto you, inasmuch
as We nave Tor it unto the least of
these, my brethren, We have done it
unto me-" There is the keynote of
the Salvation Army's work. We smile
sometimes at the queer costumes of
the workers, and we often wonder
whether it is worth while for them to
beat their -tambourines and their drums
on the street corners, where they hold
their services, but there it a lot to
the Salvation Army besides the drums
and the tambourines and the street
corner meetings. It's work Of charity
never ends.
It's people inc their way into the
miserable novels where starvation
turks; they put shoes on frozen little
feet and clothes IN naked bodies, and
they do it all with so little ostenta-
ton, so few calls on the public for
aid, that people know the great
ness of the good they are accomplish
ing.
The life of the Salvation Army is not
an easy one. Often and often the SOL
diers are hungry themselves, but they
are so hungry that they cannot
share with others. Self-sacrifcing,
brave. true Christian men and women,
The Herald bids them godspeed in their
labors, and ~bespeaks for them the cor
dial sympathy and support of all who
honor noble deeds.

But feeble hints of a passing power.

In the far southwest. in the tropic seas
In a land of summer and sun and gold,

But Time, the ~leveIer, came at last.
And scattered its s%plendors far and
Till the glorious Aztec empire passed.

To the present day, from the dawn of

A thing of beauty, of art, or pride,

And so it has been and so it will be,
As long as the heavens feed the stars:
As long as the souls of men shall find

And so let US live and labor and pray.

According TO the dispatches. the
Missouri statute of limitations seems
to have run on the cases against the
men who bribed Kelly. So FAR as they
are concerned, his trip to Europe ac-
complished its urpose. He is willing,
even anxious, to pay the penalty for his
misdeeds. but it looks as if those who
ruined him would go unwhipped of
justice.
Kelly deserves the punishment that
will be melted out to him. He is a
rascal who should be placed behind
prison bars, but he is not as great a
rascal as the others, and if they can
be punished in no other way, they
can at least be cast out forever from
the society Of decent men and women.

A NEW A STAR.

THE HERALD is pleased to call at
L tention to the appearance of an
other star in the histrionic armament
down Provo way We refer to the
Honorable John c. Graham. who has
been delighting a large audience in a
one-act comedy entitled "A Kiss in the
Dark" kissing in the dark is always
a most delightful pastime, and doubt
less Mr.. Graham finds it as pleasur-
able as the next man. Indeed, we fear,
without the least intention of display
ing a reasonable and natural jealousy.
that Mr.. Graham could enjoy the de-
lights of OSCILLATION in no other way.
In the cold, cruel light of day, under
the glare of a calcium, or even by
the modest glimmer of a tallow dip,
one glimpse of Mr.. Graham's coun-
tenance would check the ardor of the
most enthusiastic kissee. She would
shy like a colt at a traction engine.
So "A Kiss in the Dark must furnish
an admirable vehicle for the transpor-
tation of Mr.. Graham's talents in that
line. We rise TO congratulate him and
wish him all possible success in his
new line of endeavor.

Why KELLY

CHARLES F. KELLY, former speak
er Of the st. Louis house of dele
gates. has returned from Europe to
face the charges of bribery that have
been preferred against him. What the
strong arm Of the law could not bring
about has been accomplished by a
stronger arm-the arm of death. A
dead hand reached across The wide At
lantic ocean and brought this wander
ing criminal home. 1t was the hand
OF his boy.
For Gods sake, let me alone for to-
day" said Kelly, when he was met at
the steamer by a reporter who knew
him. Il have nothing 70 say. 1 have
just received word that my son is
dead. and I am going back to st. Louis.
Where have 1 been? Everywhere. The
trip has been ne rest for me. 1 will
be glad to get back to st. Louis 10
my wife. who is brOken-hearted over
u boys death. I can't tell what is
ahead of me there. I don't care, now
that my boy is dead"
There can be no sympathy for Kelly,
the criminal, but for Kelly, the broken,
heart will throb with sorrow. Kelly
left st. Louis to protect the baser GRIM
inals who had bribed him. He be-
lieved that in foreign lands, amid new
surroundings, he might find rest and
forgetfulness of the wrong he had done.
But h wretehed man could find no
rest. The memory of his deed was ever
Eith him, and he could not shake it

1t is doubtful if any writer was ever
better prepared for his work than Miss
Ida K. Tarbell was for her history of
the standard Oil company, which is
just beginning serial publication. and
is to be brought out in book form next
fall The task Of writing an inter-
esting history of this great trust was
difficult enough to keep most writer's
from the attempt. Very little. at any
rate, has been written about the mat
ter; very little known of the strug-
gle between competition and cOmbina-
ton, which brought this most perfect
~ organized business in the world
about; few remember now the old
South Improvement company under
whose very liberal character the
Standard ~Worked-and vet there is q
remarkable curiosity on the part Of
the public as to how the present power
of the oil monopoly was attained. Miss
Tarbell was peculiarly fitted :or this
task of revelation. She was born ard
brought up in Titusviile, Pa.-th very
| heart of the oil country. Her father
and brother have been engaged in the
industry for years. She has made most
painstaking search for all sorts of hid

proceedings. Ever since its O-ganiza-
ton the Standard Oh company has
been unde one or another form of
legal investigation, and the newspapers
for thirty ye5rs past ave heen filled
with stories Of its dealings.
What this wonderful combination
has cost the Independent oil men-the
body of men who at the opening of
this history are introduced to US as
the founders of the oil business says
Miss Tarbell, sis an integral part Of
the story. Steadily, yea after year,
they disappeared from the business as

DIRTY STREET CARS.

HEALTH OFFICER KING is en-
II titled to commentator for his eff
forts to have the street cars Of the
city cleaned and kept clean. He has
taken a step in the right direction.
Unfortunately there is no ordinance
now on the books under which the
evil can be effectively reached, one
has been drafted for presentation at
the council meeting Monday night, and
The Herald trusts it viii be passed
at once.
Certainly no valid objections can be
offered to q measure which will make
it possible to compel the street rail-
way company to clear its cars. 1t
may be said that the corporation is
now trying to keep its cars clean, and
| perhaps it is. but the results are not
apparent. Most of the cars are so
dirty as to be a menace to the public
health. Those that are closed are bad
ly ventilated, and the open cars, while
not Objectionable on this score, are
certainly not models of cleanliness.
1t is a well established fact tha dis
eases of all kinds are spread by dirty
street cars. People afflicted with vari-
Gus maladies are crowded into them
with healthy people at all hours of
the day, and the results are anything
bat cheering. At least once a day
the cars should be scrubbed clean,
from end to the other. True, this
viii the company some expense.
but h public is entitled to a little
consideration also.
The Herald believes the proposed or
dinance should be pushed to a speedy
passage. The street cars, in their pres
ent condition, are a menac to the
public health.

able to equal the present Dickens of

An astonishing fact about the latter
Is that he is, at the same time. so many
Hother things than the writer of slum
stories. He is said to be the best
authority in England on japanese art;
he is an ardent collector of china, an
tique furniture and other rarities. He
lived for six years in the east end, at
tanning considerable local fame as a
pugilist n fighting while studying
some of the worst criminals in Eng
land.
