Vox PopuIi.

M ANY wonder why it is that sump-
lW tuary laws-total prohibition, for
instance-are never strictly en-
forced, but, on the contrary, are gem
orally more honored in the breach than
the observance. Total prohibition laws
have frequently been carried by enor-
nous majorities of the vote cast, and
if votes express the will of the people,
the question is a natural one
The trouble is that people will vote
for something that they will not take
an active part in enforcing If they
were as earnest about stopping the sale
of liquor as they are in Furnishing muir
derers or bank robbers, the liquor traf-
fic would cease to be. They say they
are, but they lack the gift of intro
spection when they make that asser-
ton.
If the average citizen sees man
setting fire to a factory or breaking
into house he at once tries to
Illustrate the attempt of the criminal,
and he will voluntarily assist in cap
turing him and sending him to prison.

the community as one who has faith
fully discharged the duties of a good
citizen.
If, on the other hand, he sees a man
selling whisky contrary to law, and
he informs on him and secures his
conviction, he is called a whisky in
former and becomes Il sort of pariah in
the eyes of the public Even the best
of temperance people will be chary of
his acquaintance, though
they may formally thank him for his
act
The truth is that the majority does
not honestly desire the enforcement of
laws as it does those pro-
ordinary felonies. Until the
public is as much in earnest about the
one as the other, prohibition measures
are foredoomed to failure

How to Succeed.

A SERIES of articles, on the prob
a lem of success for young men,
mostly from the pens of fashion
able and utterly impracticable preach
ers, is being published in the Hearst
syndicate papers. At last there is an
oasis in the desert of platitudes. A
business man, F. D. Underwood. presi-
dent Of the Erie railroad, has risen to
the occasion and contributed some
common sense advice to which every
young man should give heed. The ar
ticle contributed by him says in part:
Of all the men L know who have
from small beginning created name,
place or fortune for themselves. not
one can tell just how it was done.
They may tell of a start, a lift after
start, or of an opportunitw that was
helpful.
To all young men who are without
business connections, money or educa-
ton, and who hope to grow rich and
perhaps famous, l would say:
When you start, be sure you are in
the right place; if you miss, try again.
Environment is essential.
The talents you have to sell should
not be too far from the market
III you nave an amDltlon TO be great
man, keep it to yourself
There is many a good start spoiled
by the starter protesting his ambition,
which puts him at a disadvantage with
his associates.
Ambition is a good thing to have, but
it is a good secret to keep.
Let your good work reveal it, rather
than your word.
Beware Of an ambition that breeds
impatience.

WIRE GOLD AT sTATELINE.
George A. Rice Strikes $4,000 Ore on
Rice Mountain.

According to the last issue of the State

group of claims bearing his name, and To-
Gated on Rice mountain, Iron county,
has just made strike of sensationaliy
hlgh-grade gold ore, samples of which

The strike is considered very important
as bearing out the. theories of many that
rich ledge runs through the Rice noun
tain somewhere. Rich float has been
found on and around the mountain for
many years, but up to date none of the
prospectors has been able to locate the
ledge from which it came. 1t is said that
at one time, when the smelters of Phoebe
were in blast, an old prospector made a
business of gathering up pieces of rich
gold float and shipping the rock on bur
ros to the Phoebe smelters.
Later a piece of float was found on the

ordinary American would say of these
friends of the monks and nuns who
howl about the injustice done, but
viii not trouble themselves to mark a
ballot paper to save the work of ages
of good endeavor. They seem to think
themselves too good to mingle with the
common herd, and the pity of it is that
it is not they, but the unfortunate re-
ligious, who have to suffer. Had they
needed the advice of the holy father to
accept the republic and take part in
the affairs of their country, such out
RACES could never have been commit
ted. They have disobeyed him, how
ever, and are looked upon by the COM
mon people as traitors and enemies of
France.
The innocent too often suffer for the
guilty, and this adds another to the
long list.

TRANSFER is MADE.
Frank j. Wescott Deeds Continental
Hotel Corner to Senators
Clark and Kearns.

Deeds were filed for record yesterday
afternoon by which Frank J. Wescott
transferred tow. A. Clark and Thomas
kearns the Continental hotel corner The
consideration was $4,000, Senator Kearns
and Senator Clark each owning an un-
divided half-interest.
Mr.. Wescott, who is private secretary
to Senator Kearns, purchased the prop
erty some time ago from it's several own
ers.. The property is situated on the
southwest corner of West Temple and
First South streets. 1t has a frontage
of 113 feet on First South and ia feet on
the West Temple side The corner is
now occupied by a small building used
as a saloon known as the Continental
bar.
As to what kind of building win be
erected on the corner, and what uses it
will be put to has not been decided yet.
Senator Kearns will meet Senator Clark
in st. Louis the latter part of this month.
At that time some decision in regard to
the building will be reached.
It is probable, it is understood. that an
office building will be erected and that
the offices of the San Pedro railroad
may occupy a large portion of the !struc-
ture. However, Senator Kearns will not
give out any definite information on this
subject until after the conference with

VOGUE OF TIE Red HAIRED ONE
An Auburn Tinge Now Sought in the
Couture.


Red hair has always been held to indi-
cate a quick temper, but beyond that the
students of the past did not go; or if they
did, they kept the result of their studies
to themselves. Recently psychologists
and thinkers have been finding out many
interesting things about the red haired
woman-the most interesting, if true, be-
ing that, as a type, she was dying out.
Another theory advanced by a learned
western professor was that all bIondness
indicated disease, and that the kind pro-
ducing red hair was the most malignant.
All OF this demonstrates surely that the
red haired woman is growing in interest
ana is being talked about, whereas TWEEN
ty years ago a girl with red hair was con-
sldered severely handicapped in the race
matrimonial.
AT that time the golden haired blonde
was admired to such an extent that about

locks. But the reaction was violent. The
bleached head became blight, and even

Kelley Murder.

Butte, Mont, April pa second dy-
ing statement of DR.. Cayley, made two
days before the one admitted already,
was admitted as evidence today in the
Kelley murder trial. Chief of Police
Reynolds, who was put on the stand,
created a sensa ton by stating that
when DR.. Cayley signed the statement
he was too far gone to realize what
was being read to him and hardly
heard what was said.
Chief Reynolds was a strong witness
for the defense, although called by the
state. When asked if in his opinion
the statement in question was a true
statement of the facts as given by DR..
Cayley, he said that undoubtedly it
was not.
Or Cayley was very weak when
the statement was read to him, after
he had, or is said to have, made it,
and 1 do not think he was in a condi-
tion to sign his name conscientiously."

of Mrs Carlyle, wife of Thomas Car
lyle. the eccentric sage of Chelsea,
rends into tatters the last shred of
reputation remaining to James An
thony Froude as a historian. Froude's
life of Henry VIII was an absurd and
lying attack on the Catholic church
without shadow of foundation for the
slanderous statements it contained,
which has been disproved and contra
dicted by Protestant writers of note.
Froude's latest work was the life Of
his friend, in which he maligned Mrs.
Carlyle and made the author of "Sartor
Resartus" more or less a fool.
Froude's nemesis has at last overtaken
him, and he will be remembered only
as the rather clever author of apocry-
phaI histories and biographies. Gold
win Smith, himself no friend of the
Catholic church, says pithily of him,
He missed the train" True enough;
and the one he missed was the
last to run during his life.

Her Brother: Enfant Terrible.

edwin L. Sabin in Lippincott's.)
This is her brother; angel-faced-
Barring freckles and turned up nose
Demon-mnded-a word well based
AS nearer acquaintance will disclose.
From outward guise the most sage of
men
Would never guess what within lies hid
If years we reckon, in age scant ten;
If cunning, old as a pyramid.
This is her brother who sticks and sticks
Tighter thar even a brother should;
Brimming over with teasing tricks,
Hardened to bride and please be good;
And who, when at last afar we deem
In some sly recess but turks in wait
To note the progress of loves young
dream
And we learn of his presence too late,
too late.
This is her brother, with watchful eyes,
Piercing, shameless and indiscreet,
With ears wide open for soft replies
And sounds that are sibilant and sweet
With light approach mot lynx so still.
With figure meanly invisible,
With threatening voice and iron will
And shrill demand or he'll Ego and tell"
This is her brother-and l submit
To paying out quarters and sundry
dimes;
This is her brother-whose urchin WIZ
Moves me TO wrath thousand times:
This is her brcther-and hence I smile
And jest and fringe at his tyranny,
And call him SMART But Just wait
awhile
Till he's my brother-and then well see,
