THE ILIAD AND PARADISE LOST.

IN AN ADDRESS to a High school
L class a few days ago, Principal
Eaton is reported as comparing the
'Tliad" and Paradise Lost" He said
that while the former contained more
literary merit, the latter had given
greater pleasure to a large number Of
readers. Professor Eaton is d highly
accomplished and cultivated gentleman,
but it is doubtful If he thought deeply
before making the statement attributed
to him. To say that Paradise Lost
has given greater pleasure to a large
number. or to any number, Of readers
than the "Iuad' is to state something
that had probably not occurred to any
man vino. has read both works.
1t is Wen within the bounds of rea-
son to say that hardly one in twenty Of
the people who start to read Millions
wonderful poem ever finish it. On the
other hand, hardly one in twenty who
begin any good translation Of Homer's
magnum opus, fail to read every line
Of 1t. The pleasure derived from the
'Iliad" is hardly to be compared with
that derived from the work Of Mitch.
1t is not necessary to read the former
in the original Greek, although to ap-
preciate It in all Of its fun, ripe beauty,
it should be read in the original.
There are a number of TRANSACTIONS,
however. that retain practically all
that is best in the "Iliad''; at least they
contain so nearly ali of it that pro-
Rciency in Greek is not a sine qua non
in its perusal. 1t may be said with
reasonable certainty that for every one
who has read Paradise Lost in its en-
tirety, 100 have read the "Iliad." This,
in itself is a sufficient answer to Pro-
fessor Eaton. From the quarrel of
Achilles with Agamemnon and the
Greek army TO the burial Of Hector,
the 'Tiad'' is full Of action, Of noble
thoughts and Of lofty sentiments.
With all respect to Professor Eaton
and his views, the same cannot be said
for Paradise Lost"

such as other cities have. in order to
employ the tramp power which is now
going peacefully to waste in the city
jail The Herald confesses that it does
not know the reason why. Assurediy, it
would be an excellent adjunct to the
city's system Of penoIogy. It wouldn't
cost very much to dump a few carloads
Of rock in the unsightly lot owned by
the city on the police station corner
Then the tramps could be put to work
breaking it up.
The expense Of guarding the prison
ers employed would be nominal and
the opportunity for escapes reduced to a
minimum. TO all intents and purposes
the lot named would constitute a stock
ade from which, with one guard IN at
tendance, it would be next to impos-
sihie for any hobo to get away. Ten
or fifteen able-bodied tramps could
and they should be made to, give some
return to the city for their board and
keep. II IS true that your ordinary

but II his supplies were cut or he

Every spring Salt Lake has a season OF
''bottomless" streets. In the residence
districts only few weeks ago the mud
was inches deep and driving over them,

truthfully. that few street repairs viii
be necessary for months TO come. An
old adage advises people TO prepare for
war in times Of peace. Another winter
is coming; so is another spring. With
the tramp power that is now going 70
waste a considerable quantity Of
crushed rock could be prepared against
the time of need.
There IS another feature Of the plan
which deserves consideration. That is.
a rock pile is the greatest tramp-de-
terrent under the sun. Let It once he

a SUBSCRIBER WELL LOST.

4 BOUT THE FINEST compliment
Il The Herald has had in a year
comes from a subscriber who writes
ordering his paper stopped. Please
discontinue my paper" he says. You
get the news all right and like your
editorial policy, but you are printing
too much reading matter about women
and for women"
Bless the fools innocence, does he
think that a newspaper should be
printed for men only? Does he think
mere man counts for much on a
newspaper subscription list? II he
has any such idiotic notion he is a can
didate for an inqUirendo.
Men, particularly business men. are
valuable to a newspaper as readers be
cause their opinion Of it's worth fixes
its status as a factor in public affairs.
What the business men Of a city think
and say Of a newspaper may safely be
taken as an index Of its influence in
political and economic discussions. But
the women Of a community determine
a newspapers value to the advertiser.
Experts estimate that the wives do
at least 80 per cent Of the buying for
the family. Food for the household,
furniture for the house, shoes. hats.
clothing, jewelry, all the domestic sup
plies, much of the literature, are pur-
chased by the real head Of the house.
All the man has to do is to sign the
checks.
It is natural therefore, that adver-
tisers should calculate this element in
a newspapers popularity and count it
an advantage to have the publication
which reaches the real buyer-the
woman. The modern newspaper reeog-
nizes the necessity Of interesting
housewives and devotes a goodly pro-
portion Of its space TO them-their
clubs, their cooking schools, their part
in public life; it prints menus, dis
cusses dress patterns, procures expert
contributions on child life and the
management of children.
Any male who imagines he can get
a newspaper to ignore the women may
make up his mind to be disappointed
unless he is ready TO move to Central
Africa and start a publication of his
own.
No genuine newspaper in America
wants such man on its subscription
list, anyway.
