THE SCHOOL OF MINES.

THE STATE SCHOOL OF MINES
praise in The Herald, but the subject
is of such educational Importance that
too much cannot be said about it. The
trend of instruction nowadays is, as it
should be. toward the practical side of
every day life. The boy or girl who is
TO be most useful as citizen and best
contented, as an Individual is that one
who is best fitted to contribute to the
general welfare.
Manual training in some form is
bound to be the future keynote of pub
Tic instruction, and the University of
Utah recognizes this in its school of
mines. The mineral resources of Utah
form it's most important asset poten-
italy; and their development is to be
the work of the generation now getting
it's education.
Unquestionably the mines are to offer
the great opportunities for young men
in the future and just as surely will the
state school find justification for ITS
existence in the education of boys to
meet these opportunities. In it's me-
school is admirably fitted for the work
it has undertaken. a working knOwl-
edge of machinery. of metallury, of

A NEW SCHEME.
Umbrellas Supplied For S1.oo Year
Will Reyolutionize Business.

Down the ages since the deluge has
come the saying that q man is born
with a right to steal. or rather take
an umbrella and appropriate it to his
own use. Now is launched a scheme
which revokes this license and once
more returns his conscience to an in
flexible state, so that he who covets
his neighbours umbrella or his tent or
his parachute is guilty before the law
of the land. No longer does one have
to chain down his pet rain protector,
and no longer does he have TO worry
when he has left is behind him in a
ferryboat or suburban train. For out
of the brains of the multitude some
where has arisen the new scheme which
obviates all this mental and physical
discomfort.
The motto of the new scheme is
Don't get wet" You live in New
Rochelle, Rye, Jersey or anywhere
about New York. In the west the
clouds are gathering, and just as you
are leaving your Office in your newest
homesPun suit and waterproof war

your choice of the stock on hand, and
you are given a check. BY the time
You get TO New Rochelle the sun is
shining again. You drop into stand
in your town, show them your check,
and leave the umbrella there. After
that you don't need TO care what be-

SAGE ON TRUSTS.

RUSSELL SAGE has been taking
~ about $4,000 worth of his time to
talk some more about trusts. In eff
feet. he says that combinations Of cap
ital are dangerous-Unless he owns the
combination. Like a good many other
pubiicists. however, he offers no rem
edy FOR the evils he decries and con-
fines himself 20 prophecies beside which
the Lamentations OF jeremiah read
like Joe Miller joke-book.
In one point, Mr.. Sage approaches
vital truth. and that is where he
cites the injury to individual initiative
resulting from trust oppression. 1t is
true that the great combinations of
capital which are formeI TO monopolize
markets and brains, do stihe individual
enterprise. and by so much go to the
unmaking OF the nation
The very men who are now seeking
TO make the masses bear the unjust
burden OF watered capitalization and
excessive dividends are the men who
owe their success to the opportunities
afforded their individual enterprise
when they were younger. Having de-
vised simple plan for the aecumula-
tion of dishonest wealth, they seek to
perpetuate their system by crushing
out possible competitors ana prevent
ing merited legislation against extor-
ton.
Such advisers as Mr.. Sage however,
are naturally viewed with distrust. He
may be talking simply as public
benefactor. and then again he may be
selling short on trust stocks. with a
view TO their acquisition hereafter. The
plain people, who are the chief suf-
ferers at the hands of the trusts. may
be forgiven If they look askance at
the Wall street sage in his new guise
iof philanthropist. They may have to
bear the trust yoke awhile longer I'M
til they are united in their conviction
OF what must be done to relieve them:
but they prefer to work out their own
salvation by the election of legislators
who Will enact wise laws, and officials
who viii execute them honestly.

NEW WAY TO KILL DOGS.

4 y OLD SAYING has it that there
u are more ways to Kill dog than
choking him to death on butter. George
Mechou of Scale Siding, Pa, found an
other way, but the next time he has a
canine to send into the hereafter he
may adopt the butter method. Me
chous dog had the mango and Me-
chou felt mighty sorry for it. After all
other remedies had failed, he concluded
20 test the efficacy OF couple Of
sticks of dynamite attached to the an
imals tail and then touched off.
With this plan in view he took the
dog to a nearby grove and hitched the
dynamite to it. Then he lighted the
fuse and hurried away. The innocent
little animal hurried also-not up into
the air in fragments. but after MIR. Me-
chou. The faster Mechou ran the fast
er came the dog. faithfully endeavOring
to overtake it's master. Mechou reached
his residence a nose ahead of the
canine and slammed the door in its
face.
Hurt at such inhospitable treatment,
the dog retired to the cellar to brood
over the matter. He had just gotten
fairly started when the dynamite eX-
plOded. The MechOu residence was
wrecked and ali the members of the
family more or less injured, but the
dog was killed. They haven't even
been able to find a fragment SO far
Now. this shows the desirability Of
paying attention TO detail If Mechou
had tied the dog at the time he tied
the dynamite. his home would not have
been wrecked. Or if he had sicbed mis-
dog on some other dog just subsequent

be figuring with house builders now.
Some people are mighty careless that
way.

r. SAHLIN, one OF the commission

Everybody works. and works for

been produced in America in the short
