APROPOS OF THE STORM.

During the last week the val ley of the Little Colorado has received quite a downfall of moisture. If the winter can keep up this gait, next year will be a hummer for . stockmen. Even as it is the country is in far better shape than it has been in for years.
 One point may be brought out right along here. If the forest crauks who claim that the graz ing of stock on forest lands causes drought, knew that this

A Word to Parents.

Teachers Institute cOnvenes next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. While the teachers will be highly gratitied to see as many parents, as can attend, present at all of the sessions, they especially desire that all the parents of the county who can possibly get there, will be present on Monday Evening, at the Stake Academy. The pro- gram for that evening will con- sist of talks by teachers on sub iects of interest and importance to every parent.
 This will be an extremely favorable opportunity for the parents of St. Johns to show whether they are in sympathy with the work of our teachers.
 The education of the rising generations is the most vexing and at the same time, most im- portant asa&stior before the American people. It has become the habit of the parents in many neighborhoOds, and some have hinted that this is one of them, to leave the entire Educa- tion of the children with the teacher. Two questions that will be discussed at the above mentioned parents meeting will be: What the teacher has a right to expect of the parent" and What the parent has a right to expect of the teacher" These questions willbe discussed by Profs. J. w. Brown and A. c. Peterson. two we'll known and popular teachers. Let the house be filled with parents on that evening.

not, however, the only obtuse off, cial who has entered upon. this sort of mediaeval warfare against women and marriage. The pre- historic school board of one of the greatest of American cities has joined the crusade against mar riage, and decreed dismissal against all the women under it's control who venture to look upon the marriage ring with all the sanctity that invest it A very practical question hero suggests itself which is this: To whom would parents prefer to entrust the education of their children the unmarried or married, even if the married are still in the hal. cyOn period, which soon passes a. way, of their new found bliss? To the experienced to ask the question is to answer it.
 In the complex pFoblems of our new century civilization and from every American point of view, thiskyuestion of marriage is of the nlsss tsupreme lmp5Ftance, The home is the cornerstone of the Republic. Uprcot it and little worth preserving remains. France at the present time, furnishes 8 lesson that should not be lost up- on all who adhere to the old American ideal of hearth and home, which, in great measure, have made us all that we are-- the first among all the nations which have yet come into being.
 To come back to Mir. Payne, and his "firman" against matrimony, there can be little question that he has transcended his authority, that he has taken a step beyond the law, and that, if appeal ie made to the higher courts, the de- cison will be against him, The great Declaration reads that we are all entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Post master-General Payne makes ex- ception in the case of the women employed under him. As an off, cial he should be in the latitude and longitude of the Bosphorpe and, not of the Potomac.

A CONVENIENT CRUSADE
 Against Marriage.
By Allied Seton.

Postmaster General Payne, if he is gifted with common sense, should rescind before the first day of the coming new year the tur- kish firman he issued on the first day of the last month of the sec cond year of the twentieth centu- ry against marriage--the marriage of all women who are employed in the great department of Fede- ral administration over which he presides. The order of this chief of 8 party which claims to be, and let be admitted is, in the front line of the vangard of modern progress, reads like an except from the records of tNe ages when women, the very highest of them, were only a little more elevated than were the serfs who waited upon them, and did the bidding of their masculine lords and noapto-.
 But, considerations of all this kind apart, Mfr. Payne's mandate is essentially and fundamentally un- American. It infringes upon personal liberty, that is the right of every man, every woman, to dc what to him, or her, seems right to do, provided it does not infring' upon the equal rights of others In the question under cOnsidera ton, there is to be sure, the ele ment of contract, which should b. sacredly observed on both sides The women in the employment O the Postal Service undertake tC perform certain duties.

his remarks. IT may be that there has
been a revision of the rules Of war which
makes it irregular for the scouts Of one
army 10 use the uniforms OF the other to
deceive them, but If such a change has
been made il will revolutiOnize the method
Of making war by scouting which was so
effective during the war for the Union.
To deceive an enemy and capture him
without killing him. or to secure advantage
without slaughter, is generally regarded as
the best kind of warfare. If deception is
to be barred in civilized war any movement
causing surprise. like the massing Of a
force on a flank for sudden attack, must
come under that head. If the principle
indicated by Senator Patterson is TO gov
eTn in war, notice of attack must be given
and impartial experts must be present TO
umpire the fight and see that no unfair
advantage is taken by one side over the
other. The champions of Aguinaldo in
Congress, like Senator Patterson. seem TO
be putting themselves in a ridiculous at
titude when they c~riticise the manner of
his bloodless capture.

name and credit OF the United States into
the commerce of that country as no other
medium could do. The American silver
dollar, which would be of the same fine
ness as the Mexican dollar. would have
the advantage Of being worth its face value
all through the Orient, and would circulate
by count and not by weight as the Mexican
dollar does. AS the credit of the United
States would be behind the American dol
lar. and also behind all the subsidiary
Philippine coins based upon it, it is claimed
it would tend 10 popularize the American
government not only in the Philippines, but
in the farther East. All this is somewhat
conjectural. The proposition recalls the
trade dollar experiment of thirty years ago.
This dollar contained 42O grains of silver
nine-tenths fine and was intended for the
convenience of our trade with China n
Japan. which had silver coins Of nearly the
same value. They were intended exclusive
ly for foreign use, but they soon began to
circulate extensively in the United States,
and owing to their special value and the
fuctuating quality of silver caused much
disturbance. Their coinage was finally dis
continued after about 100000 of them had
been coined. and provision was made for
their redemption and ~recoinage. The trade
dollar experiment was not successful, and
there is reason TO fear the American Phil
ippine dollar may have similar results. The
subcommittee of the Senate committee that
has the matter in charge consists of Sen
ators Allison, Beveridge and Dubois.

MONEY is BADLY NEEDED
JEROME WANTS IT To GET EVIL
DENCE AGAINST GAMBLERS.
Says He Can Close the Houses il His
Vouchers Are Honored-
His Opinion of Partridge.

NEW YORK, March 2S.-District Attorney
Jerome announced to-day that If the city
would pay the bill he could stop gambling
here. He said: Il can close every big gam
bling house in the town if the controller
will accept my vouchers for expenses in so
doing. II would cost at least $1,000 TO get
into "Dick" Canfeld's to get corroborative
evidence. Do you think the controller
would pay a bill of $3.50 lost at roulette? He
would say that the city is not going TO
spend its money that way"
Referring to the alleged loss of $1,000 at
one sitting by a young millionaire in Can
fields house.. the district attorney said that
that amount to a man with s12,000,O0O was
not nearly as bad in proportion as the
losses of poorer people in poolrooms and
policy shops.
"Do you think the police department will
be regenerated in your term of four years
in Officer" was asked.
Eyes; 1 do. I think, however. that it will
take at least eighteen months to make any
show in that direction. The blacklegs of
the police department think Colonel Part
ridge is a nice old gentleman who is i'm
mersed in the details Of his department
and don't know what is going on. They
will find out when the time comes. Colonel
Partridge is a firm old man, who will do his
duty. He has been in office but three
months and has had time only to arrange
the simple policing of the city"
Asked about the expense of getting evil
dence, the district attorney said the COM
mittee of fifteen had spent $4,000 in that
way, spending in some instances $500 or $500
to get evidence against a single house. The
defendants would then, he said, be placed
on trial and sent TO the city prison for a
few days or fined a small amount. The re-
suits were discouraging, he said. 1t was
suggested TO Mr.. Jerome that perhaps a
society might be found which would bear
the heavy expense of getting evidence. His
reply was:
do you know of any society that will
put ND 1000 to get evidence? l don't. I'm
going to spend money out of my own pock-
cts when 1 know the controller Will not
make it good"

PLANNING COINAGE FOR THE PHIL


a dispatch in yesterdays Journal stated
Senate committee on the Philippines in IA
vOr of permitting the present silver stand
ard in the islands 10 remain undisturbed.
II was further stated that the subcommit-
tee which had the matter in charge ex-
pected soon to report a bill providing for
a silver dollar TO replace the Mexican dol
lar. to weigh 4l6 grains and to be 900 fine,
the supply to be limited 10 the needs Of the
islands. There has been some difference of
opinion as to whether the silver standard
should be continued in the islands or
whether the gold standard should be
adopted, allowing the native coins TO be
made out of silver. but in all cases hav-
ing their value measured by the gold stand
ard. This plan is favored by the War De-
partment. and IT is doubtful II the Senate
plan will find favor in the House. If IT is
adopted it will be for commercial reasons
solely. Silver is the favorite coin and the
standard generally in the Orient. and all
attempts 10 establish the gold standard
have failed except in Japan. The Mexican
silver dollar now circulates in the Philip
pines, usually at a value not to exceed 90
cents. The object in coming an American
Philippine silver dollar OF special weight
would be to supplant the Mexican dollar.
which at present is practically the sole cir
culatiug medium OF the Philippines. 1t is
