miners or unfavorable to them. the de-
cree viii be accepted uncomplainingly
and the men will continue at work dur
ing the period covered by the arbitra-
ton agreement. How different is the
position taken by the operators in their
answer filed with the arbitration board
before the taking of testimony was be-
gun.
Take the answer of President Trues-
dale. for they are all alike. He said:
This company unequivocally asserts
that it will under no condition recog-
nize or enter into any agreement with
the association known as the United
Mine Workers Of America or any
branch thereof
So the operators have prepared a
loophole through which they may es-
cape any finding the commission may
hand down, and yet the subsetvient
Sun has no word of condemnation for
them.

WAGES AND EXPENSES.

T HE ANNOUNCEMENT by a large
L number of the railroad companies
of an immediate increase in the wages
of their employees has brought out a
discussion as to whether man is bet
ter off when prices are high and wages
are high or when prices are low and
wages at a corresponding scale. At
this time the discussion is out of or
der because with a great many men
whose only capital is their hands and
their muscle it is a question of earning
I more money or suffering actual priva-
ton.
An academic view of the proposition
is entirely out of the question. But
there is no doubt that a laborer is much
better off when his wages are high.
even though the prices of everything
he has to buy are doubled. The case
is admirably summed UP by the edi-
tor of the Philadelphia North Ameri-
can. who makes a supposititious laborer
say:
when my wage is 81 a day and the
cost of living IS cents, save cents.
Double my wage and the cost Of liv-
ing and save 10 cents. When depres-
sion comes, prices fall first, and for a
time-it may be brief, but it is appre-
eiable-I save a little more than 10
cents a day if 1 choose. When things
get back to the 81 a day wage and
the 50 cents expense basis, every dime
I saved during the era of prosperity
has doubled in purchasing power. 1t is
easier to save 10 cents out of 81 than
5 cents out of ST.
There is the situation in a nutshell.
Unwittingly, the North American has
raised the issue of the free coinage
of silver. the issue so often slain by
the Republican party at the polls. The
argument that the worker is no bet
ter off when his wages and his ex-
penses are doubled is here answered
most clearly. And it is the only really
lucid way to view the matter.
The Herald is more than pleased at
the voluntary increase of pay granted
by the railroad corporations. They will
doubtless get better service out of their
men, and better service for the rail-
roads means better service for the pub
lie. 1t is to be hoped, however, that
the railroad companies will not follow
the plan of the coal operators and ex-
act from the public in freights four
times the amount of increase in the
wages of their employees.

SUPPORT 3. s. YOUNG.

THE VOTERS of the Fourth precinct
will assemble in the Twentieth
ward meeting house tonight to nom
mate a candidate for the board of edu-
cation to succeed B. S. Young, whose
term is about to expire. Mr.. Young,
The Herald is glad to announce, has
expressed a willingness to serve the
people of the Fourth precinct and the
entire city on the board for another
term. There has been some talk of op-
position to his nomination tonight, but
we sincerely hope it will not material
ize.
Mr.. Young has been one of the most
faithful as well as one of the most
competent members of the board. His
interest in the work of education is
deep, and his ability to fill the position
acceptably has been amply tested and
found satisfactory in every respect.
The Herald believes the Fourth pre-
cinct convention will make a serious
mistake if it fails to renofninate Mr..
Young.
He should be named by reclamation
and then the people of his precinct
should see that he gets heavy vote at
the election next Wednesday.

THE MINISTERS AND sMooT.


ONCE UPON A TIME the courtiers Of
" a king devoted great deal of their
valuable time to telling him what a
great and powerful man he was. He
heard so much of that kind of talk that
he really believed good deal Of 1t, but
when they said he could, by a simple
command, keep the waves of a mighty
ocean from tapping the beach. he de-
manded TO be showed. So he had his
throne carried down to a spot close to
the water, and, with loud voice, he di-
rected the waves to move back toward
the center Of the sea. You all know
what happened. The naughty waves
came right up and the king was car
ried home, disillusionized. with a pair
Of very wet feet.
Somehow the Ministerial Alliance of
Salt Lake City reminds us of that an
cient king. It's members have passed a
resolution directing the waves of the
Apostle Smoot political sea to calm
themselves, to get hence. as it were.
The alliance, like the king, will only end
in getting its feet wet. Whether or not
Apostle Smoot is going to be excluded
by the United States senate. when he
appears there with commission from
the state of Utah is a question for the
future to determine. He is going to be
elected. however. if he lives until the
legislature assemblies, unless he is pre-
vailed upon to withdraw from the race.
The Herald's interest in this matter,
we want it understood. is merely
"a he int, % oil p,
must be casual. The fight is not of our
making. Goodness know we did our
best TO nip it in the bud, but the peo-
pie said they wanted Smoot-that is to
say. they declared their desire for the
apostle in politics, and far be it from Us
to disturb the hilarity OF so joyous an
occasion.
A good working majority of the in
coming legislature is pledged to Apostle
Smoot for United States senator. The
men composing that majority were
SmOot men before they were elected;
their constituents voted them into Of
flee with the distinct understanding
that they would support the apostle,
and they will not be true to their
pledges. actual and implied, unless they
do vote for Apostle Smoot.
The Ministerial Alliance may pass
resolutions every day from now until
the legislature gathers in biennial ses-
sion; 1t may make each resolution hot
ter than the preceding one and all hot
ter than the exceedingly sultry ebulli-
tion published in The Herald of yester-
day, but we do not believe the predes-
tined and fore ordained result will be
affected thereby.

AmaSemeHE.


The concert of the Young Peoples
Christian union at the Theatre last
night was ruined by a too long pro-
gramme and an infinite number of en-
cores. The two cornet solos by Mrs.
Albert Leslie Hartley were well re-
ceived, as was the violin obligato by
Mr.. Shelton, for each was, of course,
beautifully done. The OrpheuS club
double quartette was at its very best
in she Sleeps. My Lady Sleeps" but
long before that number was reached
the weary audience began to dwindle.
The bird limitations by Mr.. a. y. Smith
were certainly gems, the solos by Miss
Pinkerton fair, and Miss Davis recita-
tions contained some points of excel
lence, but everything of all 6escrip-
tons was recalled, and the whole mat
ter gone over at length till no one was
in a condition to appreciate anything.
One thing which was appreciated was
the rather harsh suggestion in the
group, Lead, Kindly Light" when the
maidens of the various churches were
seen with outstretched hands, each
gazing in a different direction, as if
expecting to be lied on toward a diff
ferent quarter in heaven. The audi
ence was a good-sized one.
Professor Stephens has invited the
University of Utah football team, as
well as the Stanford gladiators, to at
tend the tabernacle concert on Thanks
giving evening.

POST CHECK CURRENCY.

L RIENDS OF THE POST CHECK
system who failed to secure ia
vorable action on their proposition at
the last session of congress will bring
the matter up again early in the COM
ing session, and it is thought that the
bill will be adopted. From time to
time The Herald has commented on the
value of Post checks, but a further ex-
PLANTATION of their merits will not be
out of place now.
A measure is now pending in con-
gress which, if passed, will authorize
the issuance of a new style of cur
rency, for use either in the mails or
in the ordinary channels Of commerce.
The currency will consist of 81, 81 and IS
bills, similar in many respects to the
bills now in use. The great difference
viii lie in the fact that a few pen
strokes will convert the new bill into
check, payable only TO the person
or firm for whom it is intended.
To convert the bill into a check it
is only necessary to write the name
of the payee in the blank provided
for that purpose and for the sender
to sign his name at the proper place
and affix a 1-cent stamp, Cancelled in
ink Until the bills have been so filed
out they serve the same purposes as
ordinary currency. After they are
filled out they may be redeemed by
the payee at any bank, which. in turn,
sends them to the treasury at Wash
! ington for redemption, thus insuring
continuous supply of fresh, clean bills.
The advantages of the system, espe-
cially to those who live far from
money order pOstoffice, are apparent.
It practically makes every man his own
money order office for small remit
/ tances Money can be sent in this way
through the mails as safely as by
| check or postal order The necessity
for visit to the postoffice is done away
with, and exactly the same result is
accomplished as if all the trouble
which is now involved in the sending
of money by mail were gone through
with.
/ The plan recommends itself strongly
to merchants who do mail order bus
mess, to publishers of newspapers and
! periodicals, and. indeed, to all business
men who receive remittances by mail.
The Herald hopes congress can be per-
suaded to take favorable action on the
bill at the next session, for the reform
/ is urgently needed.

NEWSPAPER UNFAIRMEss.
ONE OF Tie MOST HIGHLY anr

ONE OF THE MOST HIGHLY appre-
" ciated compliments ever paid the
newspapers OF the United States was
that from a foreigner, who said that
the chief characteristic of American
journals was their willingness to pre-
sent both sides Of any important ques-
ton fairly. In the main, the compli-
ment is deserved, for nearly all the i'm
portanr newspapers of the United
States are fair. A notable and regret
table exception is the New York Sun,
which said. recently.
NO one can read the statement Of
Mr. Mitchell and his testimony before
the commission without being con-
WINGED that the labor organization
which he represents will feel itself at
perfect liberty to treat the decision of
the commission With scorn and con-
tempt if that decision is not satisfac-
tory to the United Mine Workers of
America"
The Sun published very complete re-
ports of all Of Mr.. Mitchen's state
ments outside Of the hearing and before
the commission. 1t has never published
one sentence which would justify its
assumption that the miners will not
submit TO the award OF the arbitrator.
on the contrary, John Mitchell. testi-
flying under oath. said:
I'VE win accept whatever award the
commission makes. and that award will
have precedence over the laws Of the
union"
Surely no man could make a clearer
statement than that If plain English
means anything, Mr.. Mitchelrs answer
means that, no matter whether the
commissions award is favorable TO the

1t is said that one result of the de-
feat Of Congressman Loud of California
will be the discharge of ]. c. Keller,
president of the National Association
of Letter Carriers. AS chairman of the
house committee on postoffices and post
roads Mr.. Loud prevented an increase
in the pay of letter carriers and they
worked to defeat him. Now we can't
help wondering if any fuss would have
been made over their actions if they
had helped Mr. Loud. or if they had
worked for a Republican instead of for
a Democrat. 1t certainly makes a diff

After all the costumes have been dis
cussed and criticised, a prize is given to
the one that is considered to be the
most tacky. Usually the prize is a
cake, which is passed about by the WIN
ner and vanishes with marvellous
quickness. There is only wee bit for
each guest, and it serves for an APP
petizer to induce them to patrOniZe the
cakewalk that Bertha announces to be
ready in the next room.
The size of the ball room precludes
the possibility Of more than one set
dancing at a time, SO while those four
couples go through the cotillion to the
music of the same fiddler who played
at Lissie's Che is as drunk as a lord to-
night and consequently is playing with
unusual spiriD, the rest, ten or more at
a time, engage in the cakewalk.
This performance is quite unlike
negro cakewalk, where the cake is the
reward for form in walking. Here,
as in the poke party, the walk accrues
to the financial benefit of the hostess.
Each man asks a girl to walk" with
him, and at the door he pays 10 cents
apiece for the privilege of enjoying the
exercise. In the middle of the table is
a frosted cake, ornamented with bits of
down plates corresponding in number
to the girls. The procession walks
gayly around the table to the sound of
the music that Sits through the wall
from the cotillion. but there is no at
tempt at fancy steps. When Bertha
claps her hands they stop, and each girl
lifts the plate before which she finds
herself and examines the bit OF paper
under it. All the slips are blank except
one. and the girl who finds cake writ
ten on hers proudly seiZes the prize and
distributes it among the less fortunate
contestants.
Then Bertha rearranges the plates,
puts another cake on the table and
summons the next group. who are just
outside the door, eagerly waiting for
their chance to walk.
in the course of the winter a wander
ing teacher may establish a writing
school for fortnight, or a singing
school. and debating clubs are born and
die and are born again, and every
chance for meeting one another. even
on these serious preteXts, is hailed as
social opportunity by the people of
these sparse settlements among the big
hills.
