A good story is told of Bernard Shaw.
The occasion was the first production
of Arms and the Man" in London.
The production was a success, and at
the fall Of the curtain there were clam
orous calls for the author, to which Mr.
Shaw was at length induced to respond
The audience was still cheering, but
there was n dissentient in the gal

Loss Of Time and dignity

Champ Clark of Missouri is opposed

getting n salary of $4,000 a year, to say
nothing of whatever private income he

Appendfcitfs.

An Egyptian mummy of 1000 years
ago recently examined showed evil
dences Of having died of appendicitis,
80 that the disease is not by any means
new. Four hundred cases were oper-
ated On in London. hospitals last year,
all but ten successfully. Sir Francis
Treyes has operated with success on
100 consecutive cases. 1t is said that
the modern fine -four is one Of its
causes. The increasing occurrence Of
the trouble has opened a new field for
insurance in England. One OF the most
prominent firms in Lloyd's has made a
new departure in the form of policies
insuring against appendicitis. For a
premium of 5 shillings the insured,
should he undergo an operation, will
have all his direct expenses paid up to
$1,000. In the event of his death I'M

UTAHs HOLIDAY PAPERS.

Salt Lake City. and indeed the whole
State OF Utah, may be congratulated
on the enterprise, ability and virility OF
| the newspapers published therein. and
especially on the excellence Of the hol-
iday editions. Our morning conlem-
poraries have, this year, added to their
journalistic laures many leaves that
will long endure and help to spread
their fame
The Salt Lake Herald Of Sunday De-
cember 81 was it's New Years issue,
and its forty-eight pages are brimful Of
information of so varied character
that all Its readers will find In 1t some
thing OF special interest and value. IT
is we'll printed. the cuts and halftones
are attractive and the entire edition Is
entitled to praise, The Herald Is forg-
ing ahead as live up-to-date paper,
and It's circulation is constantly in
creasing.
The Salt Lake Tribune Of the same
date Is also the New Years edition OF
that popular Journal which has estab-
lished high reputation for its annual
epitome OF Utah affairs. This issue
contains flfty-six pages and exhibits
remarkable talent in the gathering of
useful statistics and descriptions OF
Utah industries and places, and should
be filed for reference by our business
people 1t is finely illustrated and the
literary work is excellent.
Whatever may be the views enter
sained OF the opinions on current topics
expressed by the newspapers Of this
state. which Of course are varied and
sometimes hostile. there can be but one
feeling in regard to the ability and
push our journals exhibit. and that IS
OF pride and pleasure. Utah Ia not be-
hind any OF the western States Of the
Union, in the force and usefulness OF
the public press.

In this way another chapter of Ameri-

Should they change this to one of con-

would be trouble ahead.

The measure cannot be called one Of
extreme liberality. We get more than
we give. The concessions granted by
Cuba, considering how much lower the
average Of the Cuban ad valorem u.s.
are much greater than we make. Yet
the reciprocity accorded is satisfactory
to Cuba as assuring her OF at least ia
vored treatment in our market for her
great staples. TO us the Arrangement
presents at least the opportunity for
regalning the trade that was slipping
away from us to our European rivals
In this instance reciprocity is the
hand-maiden Of protection" as Presi-
dent Roosevelt once said. Our markets
will be expanded and thereby our in
dustries are to that extent protected.
Nor need IL be feared that Cuban re-
clprocity will be license for overturn-
Ing our tariff policy. Cuba occupies a

RUSSIA AND JAPAN.


The dispatches from eastern Asia

arrogant, and the contention between
them concerns vital interests. That

the struggle may be postponed for

A YEAR OF JUBILEE.

The coming year will see the COM
pletlon OF the fiftieth year since the
PRONUNCIATION Of the doctrine OF the
immaculate conception" of the mother
Of our Lord. That doctrine was pro-
claimed by Plus TX as a doctrine OF
the Roman church. Az defined by
Rome the doctrine Is:
1--WE define the doctrine which holds
the most blessed Virgin Mary In the
first instant OF her conception TO have
been preserved free from all stain OF
original sin. by the singular grace and
privilege OF Almighty God, and through
the merits of Jesus Christ the Savior Of
the human race, TO be doctrine reveal :
ed by God and therefore TO be firmly
and constantly held by all the faith
full"
II was one Of the acts that made the
reign of Plus memorable In history.
It was formulated, we presume, to
account for the immaculate conception
OF Jesus, but how objection to that Is
removed, does not appear. The miracle
of the immaculate conception Of Mary
is still to be explained, II there Ia any
logic IN the reasoning that leads TO the
acceptance OF the dogma in question.
In other words, It is as difficult to ex-
plain the immaculate conception Of
Mary as OF her divine Son. 1t Is easier
to accept the miracle Of the birth of
the Savior than that Of any Of his pro-
genitcrs. 'eeN'.
