WATCH THE SORE THROAT.

THE ANNOUNCEMENT that that
l. most dreaded of diseases of chill
dren, diphtheria, is increasing the num-
Der of it's victims in Salt Lake, can
not fail to cause uneasiness among the
fathers and mothers of the city While
it seems to be well nigh impossible to
wipe out this disease entirely, it is not
necessary that there should be an
alarming spread Of the malady.
Health officer King does not at
tribute the outbreak at this time to
any disregard of the quarantine regu-
lations, although he recognizes the
fact that some families are extremely
careless in this regard. It is DIR.
Kings opinion that diphtheria is not
recognized as diphtheria until after the
infected child has come in contract
with other children and so communi-
Gated the disease to them.
The argument is perfectly sound.
Many children, and adults as well,
have sore threats at this time Of year.
A sore throat is a very ordinary all
ment, which yields readily to simple
remedies. This knowledge makes par
ents negligent about having a thorough
examination of the throat made. The
Herald believes that the moment &
child complains Of its throat it should
be seen by a competent physician
No harm can attend such an inves-
tigation and great good might result
from il. IN nine cases out of ten
perhaps, the sore throat is only ar
ordinary sore throat, but the tentl
case may spread diphtheria through al
entire school. Reasonable care viii
prevent further spread of diphtheris
and it is to be hoped that it will no
be necessary to again call the atten
ton Of parents to its wisdom.

ATARIEF VICTORY.

THE RACE for the speakership OF
L the next house of representatives
has been settled. Representative Can
non of Illinois viii take the place va
Gated by General Henderson Of Iowa.
CONGRESSMAN Cannon already has
enough pledged votes to insure his cleo
ton, and Republican members-elect
from all over the country are hasten
ing to climb into his band wagon.
There was more in this quickly set
tied fight than appeared on the surface.
The real question at issue was as to
tariff revision. Mr.. Cannon is a strong
believer in the high protective tariff
principle. Throughout the late cam
paign he argued against any revision
of the tariff whatever on the principle
that the country had become prosper
Gus under existing conditions and that
they should not be disturbed.
The victory Of the Illinois man means
that the tariff will not be revised. 1t
means that the trusts will continue to
enjoy the protection that enables them
to sell their products to foreign Gus
toners at a lower rate than American
citizens are compelled to pay; it means
that the era of consolidation, of trust
organization and corporate greed will
be continued for at least two years
longer.
AS speaker, Congressman Cannon will
be able to head off any tariff or anti
trust legislation whatever, and his rec
Drd is a sufficient guarantee that he
will do that very thing. President
Roosevelt may talk as loudly as he
p1eases against the trusts; he may rec
pmmend all the adverse legislation he
can think of, but It will come to naught
because, in matters that come before
congress, Mr.. Cannon will be more
powerful than the president.

CARRIE NATIONS LATEST.

IF MRS. CARRIE NATION has any
friends or relatives they should at
once take steps looking toward her in
generation in some quiet sanitarium
where her disordered mind may be
properly treated. The insane asylums
of the country contain thousands of
inmates who have not shown as many
signs of incurable dementia as has
Mrs Nation. Her latest outbreak in
New York City indicates that unless
some radical step is taken soon Mrs.
Nation will do herself or somebody else
physical injury.
The gowns worn by the women of
the Alfred G.. Vanderbilt party at the
horse show attracted her attention and
excited her Indignation. She at once
proceeded to denounce them, greatly
to the embarrassment of the women
of the party, as well as of the men.
Mrs. Nation has a perfect right to dis
approve of prevailing styles in wearing
apparel for women. but she has no
right to manifest her disapprOval in
the public manner she adopted.
Her later antics in the cafe where
some YUunS men were OAllAh4AlS WCAC
more in line with the record she has
established for herself. 1t is quite
true that the young men had no bust
ness drinking wine or any other in
toxicating beverage. However, they
were on private property, they were
strictly within their legal rights. and
Mrs. Nation was altogether in the
wrong when she interrupted them.
The unfortunate woman has arrived
at the point where she is no longer
amusing or interesting. At the begin
/ ming of her career she was picturesque
and the newspapers of the country de-
voted a great deal of space to her.
/ This notoriety has made her mad for
more, and she is willing to resort to
almost any method of attracting pub
| lie attention.
The spectacle is pitiful. 1t should
not be considered any more humorous
than the appearance of a sodden drunk
ard, staggering to his miserable home
with motley throng of boys trailing
behind to jeer him. The anti-whisky
crusade is being done no good by Mrs
Nation. On the contrary, she is do
ing actual harm, and the sooner sh'
is put away the better it viii be fol
all concerned, including herself.

PENNY POSTAGE

DENNY POSTAGE is a dream Of
L which the realization must be left
to the far-distant future in the opinion
of Third Assistant Postmaster General
Madden, who discusses the subject IN
his latest annual report. Mr.. Madden
saws those who have talked hopefully
Of penny postage have been led to do
so under the belief that certain re-
forms now under consideration by the
department will effect such a saving of
money that it viii be possible TO send
letters for 1 cent instead of ?.
He believes congress should wait un-
til it is ascertained just how much of
a saving these reforms VIII net before
authorizing the reduction. In this in
stance Mr.. Madden is undoubtedly
right. Penny postage would be great
thing for the country, for it would
mean the practical abolition Of the
postal card, that most despisable fea-
ture OF our present system. 1t would
enable everybody to write as many let
tiers as he pIeases and would just about
double the burdens of the mail carriers
The letter business would not, of
course, be doubled in the first year after
the Inauguration of the 1-cent letter
rate, and there would necessarily be a
great reduction In the postal revenues.
This is the chief objection TO the
change. And, it might be added, the
heavy increase in business, that is,
postoffice business, which would come
from the reduction, would naturally
necessitate an increase in the number
of clerks and other employees so that
it would be a very long time before
the receipts and the expenses anywhere
near approached the present rate.
Advocates of the penny postage the
DRY have long had a habit of pointing
to England's penny postage. They
have asked why the United States
couldn't carry on its postal business on
the same basis. They overlook the
fact that the English penny is equiva-
lent to two American cents, so that the
English rate is practically the same as
the American.
All things considered, The Herald is
of the opinion that it would be just as
we'll for us to wait until our revenues
more nearly approximate our expendi-
lures before we reduce the former.
Necessary business will not be retarded
| by the 2-cent rate. At least it has never
been held back on that account.

PoRchEs AND HOMES.

JUDGE DIEHL'S DECISION that a
citizen has no right to indulge
bibulous proclivities on his own
porch viii be vigorously resented by
every man who has ever occupied a
chair on his front veranda and i'm
hibed a soothing julep in the summer
time. The court held that the porch
is not a part of the home, and there
fore an officer has the right to drag
the householder therefrom when the
said householder exhibits external evil
dences of internal irrigation.
While it may be technically true that
q mans castle ends at his front door,
still it seems to The Herald that Judge
Diehl drew it rather fine when he up
held the officer who arrested John Liv-
ingston. According TO the testimony,
Mr.. Livingston was on his own front
norch in an intoxicated condition. He
may have been fumbling with his
latchkev: he may have been webbing
around looking for place to hang up
his hat.
At any rate, the vigilant policeman
saw him, and the arrest followed. The
defendant set up the plea that he was
in his own castle and that, as the law
vers are so fond of saying, "even the
king of England could not drag him
therefrom without warrant of law"
Wen. maybe the king couldn't. but a
Salt Lake copper could. Now. with
out pretending to authority on the
subject. we don't mind going on record
as believing that the officer and the
court were in error.
When a man buys q house with q
porch on it he buys the porch. too
doesn't he? Let any man who thinks
the porch is not part Of the house
try TO purchase the one without the
other, and see. Why, there are some
porches here in Salt Lake, all trimmed
and frilled and ginger Dreaded that
look as If they cost more money thar
