1t belongs to health, for a
baby, to eat and sleep, to laugh
and grow fat.

JUST LIKE A MORMON.

Adam 1--WE forget his other name) never did a
meaner thing in all his life than when he laid the
responsibility of his fall upon his wife The con-
seriousness of his mortal sin did not however, affect
his enjoyment of the 'appe," and he had no more
gallantry than a rabbit.
But modern man has been found fully as mean
as the first lying sinner He is John W. Young,
father of William Hooper Young, the alleged brutal
murderer of Mrs. Pulitzer. He announces that he
will defend his son to the limit of his ability
That's creditable. Any true father would do that
But note the mean side of the man. He lays the
blame of his sons downfall upon the boys mother
This mother, by the way, who was John W
Young's first and only lawful wife, repudiated Nor
monism and fled from Utah because polygamy re-
volted her She sought new life where her con-
science would not her and where her woman s
pride would not suffer hourly humiliation. A wo-
man with bad heart would not have done that.
But Young says that if Mrs. Young had remained
with him the son would not have dogenerated. Per-
haps not.
But perhaps Zola's avatism comes in right here.
Perhaps heredty had something to do with the
boys' waywardness.
The young man is the grandson of Brigham Young.
And the sins of the fathers are visited upon the
children even to the third and fourth generation
At any rate it is cowardly thing to lay the
blame of his sons crime upon the woman who left
home and friends for conscience sake and to get
away from Il scoundrel who, while a libertne by
nature carried on his liasons in the name of God
and his religion Could such a man be other than
a cOword2

MEANS WHAT HE SAYS.

During the past two weeks the News has published
many editorial comments from the state press on
the self-announced retirement of Congressman
Davis at the close of the term for which he will next
month receive unanimous reelection. There is
unanimity of sentiment in the comments of these
state editors which cannot be other than gratifying
to Judge Davis
This sentiment, in substance, is that the people
of the state approach the thought of his retire.
ment with keen regret; that the place is his beyond
dispute long as he wills to keep it; that he has
been public servant whose fathfulness has never
been questioned; that his abilities are such as to
peculiarly fit him for valued congressional service
and that his Washington experience is such that the
state is bound to lose by his retirement and the con-
sequent substitution of an untred man.
The only discordant element in these editorial
opinions are the soft pedal sounds that some of
them breath concerning Mr.. Davis's ambition to
serve in the Senate or Governor. Such suspicious
are not unnatural when applied to the average poll
tician. Men in high public office, it has been sad
sometimes die, but rarely resign" Mr.. Davis will
not, we trust, do the former act for many, many
years, and he has method of evading the latter by
simply declining to stand for another nomination.
The News speaks by the card, for a conversation
with Judge Davis the other day he said that his inter-
view in the Times-U Union and Citizen, announcing
his purpose to retire from Congress after his next
term had been given i'll the best of faith and that he
hoped it would not be misconstrued. He further
said that he not posing or shaping his course for
any other office, and that be was not paying poll
tce" He expressed gratitude to the people for the
honors they had conferred upon him and said that
after his congressional career has ended he will take
up the thread of his life where he left when he
tered the public service
Coming froma man like Congressman Davis, who
holds place and power by reason of his worth and
great popularity with the people, and not through
that peculiar ability-common to politician of the
latter day-for manipulating caucusses and conven-
tions, it would that his words might be taken
at their full face value and not as the utterances Of
man who had some deeply hidden and artful design
up his sleeve.

HIS KIND OF A WIFE.

Oliver D. Rogers, an Ohio man, recently lost his
wife and, the story goes, has written the Mary
land bureau of immigration for another one. Mr..
Rogers seeks a new mate who will cause the desert
of his heart to blossom the and incidentally
take care of himself and his two boys
The applicant knows precisely what he wants and
publishes his plans and specifications as follows:
"She must be a good, charming woman one that
is chummy, aged from 20 to % years, good healthy
and good looking; must be neat and lovely; must
have a lively disposition with height five feet four
inches, weight $40, dark hair, neat build and a
good, lovely woman"
Exactly. Most of would be willing to open
bids on those terms. Mr.. Rogers modesty is only
exceeded by his excellent judgement. But why i'm
pose the statute of limitations? If she be charming
and chummy why not specify 25 to IS years? And
this particularly as to weight? If she be ''neat
and lovely" what are few pounds averdupols more
or less?
And, moreover, if she be of 'lively disposition
why cut off the pattern at five feet four inches?
Will he put good, lovely woman" on Procrus-
tian bed and shorten stretch her to suit?
1t is greatly to be feared that Mr.. Rogers will be
disappointed in his ideal woman. notwithstanding
the fact that he is making 81 81 a day wages and
can furnish "a recommendation.

He Was Irish, Too,

Joe O'Gorman, the Irish comedian,
now playing in England, is unusual
ly witty. He has an imaginary
friend, Flanagan, in the wings, and
Flanagan is the hero of every tale.
1t once happened that Flanagan
was in decidedly ''lower water" so
he asked a circus proprietor to give
him work.
"Our largest lion died last week, v
said the lord of the arena, but We
kept his skin, and if you like to get
into it aud be shown as real live
lion you can have the job"
Flanagan agreed. At the first
show the circus proprietor stepped
ilto the cage and said:
Ladies and gentlemen, to prove
the docility of this roaring lion I'll
order him into the same cage as a
ferocious tiger!"
Flanagan protested, but the circus
proprietor threatened to run him
through with sword, so poor Elan
agan was driven into the same cage
as the tiger. He fell upon his knees
and cried, "Spare mem
Then the ferocious tiger jumped
to his feet and answered: Eye
needn't be afraid o me! Sure, I'm
an Irishman meself!"-ChicagO Tri-

"Dave" HIPS Misfortune.

Recently some one gave away the
secret of David Bennett Hills mis-
fortune. The story ran that Hill had
never kissed a woman in his life.
When he read the yarn Washing
ton man remarked to the Daily
Times:
David B. Hill was my candidate
for president until | read that in all
his fife he had never taken a drink
of liquor, smoked cigar, or kissed a
woman.
Now my idol I find is made of
clay, for certainly none but clay
man could live for siXty-odd years
and never have experienced the
pleasures of OSCILLATION.
"a man who is a woman hater is
too stern and austere, too cold and
hard-hearted to make himself be-
loved by the people over whose des-
TIMES he presides. He could never
be a popular president like McKin-
ley.

NOT MUCH USE IN BEING KING.

If kings read the newspapers-and as most of
them read it is but fair to presume that they
do-some of the information must make the shivers
chase up and down their spinal columns. For the
king business is not as good as it used to be.
Most of the thrones of Europe buck at times
worse than a Texas broncho. Only the fellows who
have good seat and an army that runs into the
millions sure that the next morning will not
find them looking for work.
The other day King George of Greece was hauled
into court because he hadn't paid his dog tax.
What do you suppose would have happened If q
court had tried that old King John in his palmy
and numbering days? In fancy one can see a row
of gibbets sufficient to contain the court the Jury
the constables, all their near relatives and few
neghbors thrown in for good measure. What is the
use of being king if one is not allowed to walk on
the grass?
George very meek. He hadn't paid his dog
tax because he didn't know there was dog tax that
could reach king The court told him that ignor-
ance of the law excused one; told it as plainly
as he would have given the information to one of
our sixth ward negroes with mongrel pup. King
George paid the tax and fine to keep out of ail
King Leopold of Belgium is arrested and fined of

Recently he was put off a train for attempting to

King law is practically played out in Europe, ex-
cept in lands that are ruled by despots In it's
place has the peoples laws that are not respec-
ers of persons. The instant these laws are annued
for royalty or for class that claims to be more
than mere men, the peoples cause has suffered.
The people know 1t, and that is why King George
had to pay his dog tax The law that is good
enough for the whole people should be good enough

WORST PHASE OF CoRINTH's BURNING.

Our great grandchildren will doubtless read with
a thrill of wonder how the fires of Smithfed were
revived in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
Two weeks ago at Corinth Miss, another Negro
was burned at the stake. Thousands of the "best
citizens" men, women and children, 1t is said,
looked upon the shocking tragedy.
The criminal had been guilty of a heinous double
crime and had confessed it. Therefore, in the logic
of these Mississippi people, they must also violate
the law in his punishment.
But the awful phase of this holocaust is the effect
upon the people who witnessed 1t. The executioners
were not content with taking the victims life.
They must needs torture his body. And hundreds
of little children looked on.
How shall gauge the brutalizing effect of
such a horror upon the sensibilities of a child?
How shall parent or church or state crush spirit
of brutality bred by such spectacle? What an
awful sin to callous the tender heart of boy or
girl by familiarity with such savagery.
The burning of that Negro will do more harm to
that community than all the churches and schools
can neutralize in a decade. The churches and
schools to the spirit this brutality to the flesh
And of the flesh shall be reaped corruption.
With communities as with individual the law is
the same Whatsoever they SOW they shall reap.
They will reap not only what they but they will
reap more than they SOW. The people of Corinth
have sowed savagery. They will reap barbarity-it
may be hundred fold.

REVENGE Is SWEET. IT'S SAID.

This is the story of Jealous wife as retoId from
a paper published in a western town.
A wife in that town was almost insarely Jealous
of her husband She had no need to be because her
husband was so ugly of face that sight of it would
stop clock. But jealousy takes no account of the
fitness of things.
She imagined all sorts of deiinquencies, among
them that her husband was making love to the hired
girl She determined to detect HIM in the very act
and article.
One evening she saw her husband pass quietly in
to the kitchen. The kitchen was dark and the do
nestle out Taking few matches in her hand
the jealous wife hastily arranged shawl over her
head, after the of the servant, went around
the house and entered the back door of the kitchen
She was seized and embraced III an ardent man
ner. Kisses were raned on her face.
With her heart almost bursting with Indignation
she took long breath preparatory to administering
rebuke to her faithless spouse and leaving him in
fine scorn.
She tore herself from the fond embrace, struck
match, stood face to face with the guilty wretch,
with look on her face like that of the man who
said to King David, Thou art the man, " and found
herself confronted with-the hired man!
