TIE FORBIDDEN CITY.
STRANGE SIGHTS THAT MEET
 THE TRAVELLERS EYE.
Dirt Is the Principal Characteristic of the Home of the Grand Lama The Mecca of Countless
 Pilgrims.

Sometimes the stroller in meadow finds fiat stone lying on the grass. and, raising it in idle curiosity, sees the ground beneath unhealthily dis colored, the lurking place ol hundred creeping things that scatter in all di- rections to avoid the light of day. The European, visitor to Lhassa may be for given if the comparison rises to the minds of his readers when he sets out for them in detail the sights that he has witnessed. For east is east and west is west, and never the twain shall meet. From Suez, where the writ of the decalogue ceases to run, up to far Peking, the east robes it's many glOries in a mantle of dirt. Small wonder, then, If the westerner, into whose life the sanitary inspector has en- tered so deeply, takes some little time to see what lies hidden beneath the veil.
 Tn Lhassa, the western eye, offended by many horrid sights, takes in the more beautiful aspects of the city slowly and one by one. Gradually dirt and squalor lose their first power to offend; the spectator learns to ignore them in his search for beauty. Whether he paces the city's Via Sacra, known to pilgrims as the Ling-kor, or from some outlying hill looks out over the Potala and Chagpori, or, in the darkness of the Ramo Che, listens awe-struck to the sound of invisible drums, some subtle atmosphere be- longing to the city itself gives pause to the discontent and disgust of his earlier hours. He realizes that, what ever his own feelings may be, the men and women surrounding him are in deadly earnest; they are working for their souls as much as the bowling Mohammedans who cast stones against the devil upon the hill of Arafat or the toil-worn Jews who wall and plead by the temple wall in the shadow of the great mosque of Omar.
 Yes, Lhassa is a city of pilgrimage, metropolis whereunto all Buddhists assemble, and doubtless the offences of the. city are hidden from their down. cast eyes. You meet the pilgrims by the score; nay, by the hundred, rom- ing from the west to reach the Ling kor by the corner where the Chinese temple comes near to meeting the

Perhaps 1t is well not to look too closely, for such claims as the women might make to good looks are heavily discounted by the crimson stains on the face.
 Among the crowd of unattractive devotees the trabas from the monas- tries, in their dark-red garments. strike more distinguished note; but bright color is reserved for the state official. whose gorgeous yellow robes. lined with blue silk, afford the most brilliant spectacle the Ling-kor shows. Save to defer or make way for them, the lower orders do not regard their rulers with any approach to interest. Changing and varied in aspect as the crowd of pilgrims, beggars and off, cials Is the circular road on which they meet.

 From the shade or darkness of a worship that should be beautiful, and has become almost obscene, how re- freshing it is to wander into the ba-N gar, where the orient at it's best and brightest reasserts itself!

From early morning to high noon the bazar is in full swing, and you shall buy, if you will, sealing wax, condensed milk, and cigarettes, among the countless native trifies offered for sale. But by the afternoon the unsold goods have been removed, out of the way of the thunderstorm that is part and parcel of every August day in the city of the grand lama. 1

suit arises.
1.-The object of this, said Sen
ator Hepburn i'll speaking of his
bill lis that the question of fact
may be determined by jury, rather
than upon the dispositions OF testi-
monv taken before masters in
chancery. Under ruling by the
United States circuit court for the
Ninth Circuit, such cases are CON
sidered to be on the equity side of
the court. Under the present oper-
alton of the law the jury and the
court never see the witnesses upon
whose testimony the controverted
questions of fact are to be deternin-
ed and the testimony of thoroughly
INSCRIPTIONS witnesses, who have
the skill to be plausible, is as pot
ent as that of the witness who
knows and tells the truth.
"All men look alike OH paper
and jury selected from the vicini-
tv where the controversy arises can
more accurately pass upon the con
troverted facts than a court sitting
at distant point and hearing a
case upon testimony taken before
tile examiner where everything is
admitted subject to objection. The
courts have held that the statutes,
as at present enacted, do not suffic-
iently provide for trial by jury it
such cases.

II public office and private stand
ing III a community are not always
synonymous with trustworthiness
they at least are too often the re-
posltory of unwarranted attack.
We are perfectly willing to turn
the big end of the telescope upon
their professed shortcomings, while
we lnvert the process i'll regard to
our own. No public officer can do
much against an apethetic, in
different public sentiment. No law
will be enforced if the citizens are
indifferent toward that enforcement.
Dead laws breed laWlessness, and
this spells anarchy. We do not
need more law but better enforce
nent of laws already existing.
The law officer cannot do this alone
unaided. The law cannot enforce
itself. Its always up to" the pub
lie, the court of last resort, to see
that law is regnant in any COM
munity. If business men are too
busy to sacrifice themselves some
what for the good of the .communi-
ty, from which they receive pro-
lection of property and person,
then they ought to be plundered
and have no"kick" coming. The
same IS true of every private citi-
zen in any community for they are
one and all under obligation for
protection given You, men and
women of St. N1s'Aony, the "high
privates' in this utter neglect of
civic duty and civic interest in sell
fish ease for private gain, can only
blame yourselves for the existing
status quo. Surely selfshness and
indifference have not clouded our
eyes to the noble and unselfsh
ideals of American citizenship AS
surely as the Child is not dead,
but sleepeth, = and needs but
awakening.

Our Parker correspondent unnec-

Our Parker correspondent unnec-
essarilv accused St Anthony of be
ing the most immoral town III the
county. According to Mr.. Cores
pondent' 5 version St. ANTHONY
should lose the county seat, and be
wiped off the face of the earth
possibly III the same manner as the
Babylonian Nabopolassar and the
Median Cyaxares disposed of the
ancient capital of the Assyrian
Empire. Our correspondent should
not forget that Parker ward CON
tributes her share to the corruptness
of the county seat; that, the citizens
of St Anthony do not alone sup
port the saloons and the house of
ill-falne that the village authorities
are defied by keepers of resorts, etc.
and our city laws must be declared
legal and valid laws by the district
court before they are respected.
Take notice, Mr. Correspondent,
the County Commissioners have
before them this week the keepers
of some of these places making
them show why their licenses
should not be taken away.
When you make the statement
that ST. Anthony is the most cor
rupt town i'll the county, you know
not of what you speak. Gambling
and all sorts of lawlessness is carried
on i'll Rexburg, Rigby, Market,
Lake and every town or village in
the county and state, or any other
state where the saloon is found.
When you license the saloon YOU
license that which goes with it:
drunkenness, crime, loathsomeness
neglect of home and family.
We claim St. Anthony is the
most moral town in the county.
Why First, beause there is 10
gambling, except behind locked
doors in secret cribs where they
cannot be found. Second because
the men and boys of St. Anthony
would not furnish enough business
to keep one saloon alive for one
day i'll the week, and we have five

hope our correspondent for our
neighboring town will be more
careful in his future articles of
morality, assist to put down these
wrongs instead of condemning the
people to hell. This old world is
not SO bad, and it can be made bet
ter by the special efforts of the
father and mother at home. Teach
the young men and boys to be men
and manly.

BE. NOT AFRAID.

Did YOU ever feel that YOU were
slightly behind the times when
forced to acknowledge that YOU had
not read one or more OF the popular
pieces of flctiono Here's a little
bug we want to put in your ear,
gentle reader. Don't Try to read
all the trash that is hurled upon the
world through the medium of these
81. 30 novels. Plenty OF literature
that has stood the test of time may
be had at very reasonable price
and read with much profit while
ninetynine and nine-tentls per cent
of the so-called popular fiction may
be had, a few years hence for Is
cents per armful. You may feel
assured that when anything worthy
OF your attention is written, time
and the few discerning readers will
Gull it out from the food of non
sense and call your attention to it.
The so-called popular novels are
popular only while the publishers
continue to advertise them If YOU
have the time, money and desire to
read every 'latest" we will inter
pose no objection, but we wish that
God in his mercy would find YOU
better employment.
