ST. Patrick is probably the best known

Paul Indeed. many "a man kaOws

known as the individual who drove the
snakes out of ireland. We are told
that there isn't a snake on the "ould
sod" today. and that the good Pat
rick is responsible for their absence.
This, Of course, is pure myth. St. Pat
rick did not drive the snakes out Of
ireland, bat he accomplished "a much
more useful performance.
His whole life, following his ordiua-
tiou was devoted 90 improving the con-
ditions OF the downrodden people Of

THE SALARY GRAB AGAIN.

THE HERALD'S morning contempt
L rary edItorially makes clear a
poiut which many OF the people of
Utah have been wanting cleared up
Some of as had been hoping against
hope that the supreme and district
court judges would rot attempt 20
make the increased salary law apply
20 themselves. at least during the terms
of Office which they are now films.
The hope was futile apparently. If our
contemporary can be counted an au-
thority Says the Tribune;
1.-The bills increasing the salaries OF
the judges of an the courts, those Of
the district judges from $1,000 a year
10 $4,000, and of the supreme court
from $4,000 20 $1,000, are proper raises:
the rules OF law governing the raise
was declared m the matter of the like
raise Tor the state officers at the pre-
vious session. and we do not see how
amy contest can arise over it as ap-
piled to the judges. If it were a new
question DO could easily be made
very puzzI.Hg one. but as the whole
subject has already been thrashed out.
there could De no possible gain in an
attempt 90 renew the resistance 10 the
Increase"
1t may seem TO- our contemporary
both "pueriIe and Impudent" for The
Herald 20 question its decision, but we
beg TO state that the point as 20
whether or not salaries Of judges may
be increased or diminished during the
term for which they were elected is
rot res adjUdic3ta. The opinion of the
supreme court which established this
dangerous principle in the case OF the
state officers, although founded on the
nhnsiest kind of q bubble, can have
no possible bearing on the other.
The constitution provides that state
officers shall receive for their services
quarterly Ca compensation as fixed by
law" There was the peg that the SUI
preme court found 90 hang it's de-
cIsiou on in the state officials case.
no such peg can be whitfield out OF

We find a distinct and specific con-
stItutIoual provision which says that
the salaries of supreme and district
Judges shall not be increased or di-
unfinished during the time for which
they are elected"
Nothing is said about ca compensa-
zion as fixed by law" 10 was said

it would clearly be unconstitutional 10

nit that for the judges of Utah to. ac-

GIVE TO tbs Y.m. c. a.

THE LOCAL BRANCH % the Young
Mems Christian association wants
the people Of salt Lake 20 give 1t $4,000
between now and the LIST of May At
first glance that seems 10 be a Consid-
cradle amount Of money but it should
be raised with ease. At least twenty
residents Of salt Lake are amply able
10 give $1,000 each for this worthy pur-
pose. Forty more can give $500 each
without missing the money The re-
naming $4,000 win probably be hard
est TO get, for IL must come from peo-
pie who cannot afford to give large
amounts but, with dnigent efforts. it
can be raised.
When the $4,000 is safely put away
in a bank, George Foster Peabody Of
New York viii add $4,000 to it, making
a total Of $4,000 for a Y. n. C.. A. build
ing and equipment In salt Lake City.
Those who have never considered the
subject closely will perhaps think that
Sc, 200 Is an excessive amount to de-
vote to Y. NJ c. A. purposes. Compared
with the equipments Of other cities,
however, the sum is almost niggardly.
For years the Young Mems Christian
association here has been struggling
along with means altogether inadequate
TO the work in hand. 1t has a reading
room. a gymnasium, a bath room and
a few books. There isn't much else
worth mentioning except the spirit OF
indomitable self-sacridce that has en-
abled a few patriotic men and women
TO keep the thing alive. Boys and young
men have been given a place where
they are surrounded by wholesome in
fuences; they have been taught how TO
make themselves better physically,
mentally morally.
There are thousands Of young men
and boys i'm Salt Lake who have never
been reached by the Y. NJ. c. A.. and
who never viii be reached by that or
ganization unless the phllanthroplc peo-
pie of the city come 10 the rescue. The
saloon is open every day and every
night in the week. and often on sun
day. BOYS and young men are well
coined there and ruined there. A large
proportion Of them frequent the saloons
because they have no other place to 60.
II a frst-class gymnasium was
thrown open to them. with such ac-
cessories as a large reading room. a
Well supplied library and other things
that go to make life attractive many
of the young men would stay away

few boys at least, is naturally bad.
Given clean, wholesome surroundings,
