 1T don't know,'' said Neighbo1 Wishwell, "that I quite believe i1 the statement that one man is as good as another! I know that a denial of the assertion will make some folks kick and cause them to say, 'Oh, he's stuck up, etc., etc. But what's true is true, no matter how hard it is te swallow the dose. If Judas Iscariot was as good a man as Jesus Christ, if George Washington was no better man than Benedict Arnold, if John A. Rockefeller is no "better'' man than Gushon Marx, if Florence Night. engale was no better woman than Lillian Manson, and so on, then, perhaps, I would back down and out. No, some folks have done much more for the world than others can't deny that. Equality is good thing to talk about, but it's glittering gen. erality, do and say as you please. And if one person is above another as to brains or estate. why, I suppose he can't help feeling so, if compari- son must be made. Yes, give the devil his due, either directly or in directly,'' and Neighbor Wishwell waddled off. s..... At last death came to the relief of Mrs. Mary A. Francis Davis, 37.

 There is likely to be a very large death rate among the dogs in town before long unless the owners pay the tax on same, as provided for by law.

It doesn't seem fair that certain few, who own dogs that are kept strictly at homo, should pay taxes regularly year after year while a large majority pay no tax at all. Up to last Saturday 37 dogs in town had been registered, out of a total of prob ably 15O.
 The funeral of Robert Brownlee, who died early Saturday morning, was held from the home of his sister. Mrs. Gilbert Spicer, Monday after noon, at 1 o'clock. The funeral ser vices were conducted by Rev. s. F. Maine of Coventry, and were attended by large number of people. The floral offerings were profuse and handsome, among which was one piece bearing the word, Brother. Two pieces contributed by the fellow work men of the deceased, one of which had the word, "Shopmates, interwoven. Fifty two pinks, one for each year of his age, were also among the offer ings. The Misses Alice and Julia Denman sang "We are going down the valley one by one" and "We shall sleep, but not forever" very sweetly Messrs. Vim. and John Brownlee, W. H. Bracket and Gilbert Spicer acted as bearers. The burial was in the Wilmington (new) ceme- tery. The helpful, sympathetic and kindred spirit shown by so many in various ways has struck & responsive cord of deep appreciation on the part of the family of the deceased. We are not, at least not many of us, per- feet; but as one man expressed it after the funeral: "There is one command ment that nearly covers the spirit of the ten commandments Do unto others as ye would that they should do to you, and Robert Brownlee was 8 man that lived by that rule" Two brothers, William and John, and three sisters, Mrs. Lizzie Spicer. Mrs. Annie Brackett and Miss Maggie Brownlee, survive. The factory of G. Hall, Jr., & Co.,, where the deceased had been employed for about 20 years, was closed for a part of the afternoon as a mark of respect and to allow all who wished to attend the funeral services.

itive fact that the young people of the Universalist society have never yet given an entertainment, but what was an enjoyable one, and this will not fall behind their high standard.
 At the meeting of Stafford grange Tuesday evening, June 7th, Flora s and children's night will be observed The program for lecturers hour will be furnished entirely by the children of the patrons, consisting of instru- mental music, songs, recitations, etc. The members are invited to bring wild flowers and learn their names Refreshments will be served.
 Next Monday brings to us Memorial day, with it's ever sad memories, and it is hoped that this village will give the day it's proper recognition, as it ever has done in the past. It is de- sired that the American flag will be displayed by every person who has one in their possession. The exer- cises at Hillside and the Street will be about the same in program as usual, and will take place at about the same hour. The pupils of the Pinney Grammar school will take part in the exercises at Hillside, as they have done in former years, and it is expect ed that there will be a large attend anee in this yard and also at the Street. In the matter of providing for the dinner at the Springs, this community has responded most generously, and the veterans appre- ciate the efforts of Mrs. Emily Thompson in canvassing for the same. If all who provide dishes, and wish them returned. will affix their names in some way, the committee will see that they get them back again.

SOME NOTABLE IMPROVEMENTS

THE BREAKING OF GROUND for
the new oregon Short Line shops
and other improvements to be In
stalled by that road is an event Of
more than ordinary Importance. Some
thing like 100000 viii be expended
by the short Line locally. As rapidly
as possible the new shops that will
employ a large number Of men perma-
nently win be completed. Then the
road viii turn its attention to the cree
tion of a new depot, an Improvement
long needed here.
The large expenditure entailed by
this work in a year in which we are
told the wave of prosperity is sure TO
subside, speaks volumes for the faith
OF the Short Line in the future OF Salt
Lake City. The company does not
pose>as a charitable institution. It is
I'm the railroad business for the pur-
pose OF making money. In the past il
has made money. and it expects to
continue to do so. Nobody viii quar-
rel with the Short Line on this ac-
count, for it deserves 10 succeed.
The road has been a contributing
factor 81 no uncertain extent in the
uDbuildiug Of Salt Lake. During the
years it has maintained general Of
fees here it has distributed large
sums uf money among Salt Lake mer-
chants and business men, Now the
general Offices are to be larger than
ever. the SHOP pay rolls will be heavier.
much Of the money to be expended on
the new improvements viii go TO salt
Lake working men, and If the city Is
not prosperous this year the fault will
not De the Short Lines. IL is setting
an example o. courage in the face OF
direful predictions, an example that
we heartily commend 30 other corpora
tons ana investors.

SHOULD HAVE sgEM HEARD

d REPRESENTATIVE BAKER of
N New York was really entitled to a
hearing on his amendment to the post
Office appropriation bill, this amend
ment providing for an appropriation
OF $4,000 to be paid to the railroad
companies over whose lines President
Roosevelt Travelled during his country
wide junketing trip last year. There
was no debate on the amendment. 1t
was ruled out Of order. and Mr. Baker
was not given a chance to be heard in
favor Of IT, He might have had some
interesting things to say.
We hardly think $4,000 would cover
the expense OF that trip. President
Roosevelt Travelled thousands Of miles
in a magnificent special train. He had
an abundance of wine and cigars. the
best food the railroads could purchase
and servants TO anticipate his every
wish. Those things cost money. We
doubt if the presidential junket could
be duplicated by an ordinary citizen
for 100000. However. the railroads
are not asking anybody to pay the
bills. They paid them cheerfuny and
without any hope of a rebate of any
sort financially speaking.
1t would be too much 10 say. though,
that the railroads do not expect an
equivalent in presidential good will.
OF course the president wasn't bribed
by that trip. Nobody makes any such
ridiculous charge as that. But most
Of US VIII agree with Miss Ida TarbelI
when she says that the recipient >of a
gift becomes sooner or later, the
apOlogist of the donor. And President
Roosevelt is so careful about accepting
gifts that he has refused to accept one
now and then. He even declined to
| accept an American flag that was
made specially for him by an Ameri-
can girl.
In all his career, however. he has not
declined any present that possessed
much intrinsic value. II he has the
fact has not been recorded, and his
string Of presents runs from special
trains to blooded horses and fancy
saddles The trouble about the SIREN
uous One is his inconsistency. He is
far better able tO-pay railroad fare
than a vast majority of his fellow citi-
zens, and he is far better able TO pay
/ for everything else ne needs or wants
than most Of US. Why, then. shouldn't
he pay?
a debate on the Baker amendment
would perhaps have brought out some
reasons for the presidents attitude.

NEW PENSION RULING.


COMEBODT. DISCUSSING the Candi-
y daey OF William Randolph Hearst
for the presidency OF the United States,
and his liberal campaign allowances,
said that Mr.. Hearst was at least
spending his own money in the further
ance of his ambition. and that he diff
fered in this respect from President
Roosevelt The president is no less
anxious to receive the Republican nom
ination than is Mr.. Hearst to be hon
ored BIZ the Democrats. But Mr.. ROose-
welt is using the immense leverage his
Office gives him, and using it as no
president before him has ever used IT,.
The latest example is his order TO the
pension department. under which every
honorably discharged veteran of the
civil war who is more than g. years OF
age is given a pension of Sc a month.
The requirement of the law that 10 re-
ceive a pension a veteran must be at
least partially disabled is evaded by the
statement that it must be taken for
So years Of age Is de -facto partially dis
abled. The ruling win increase the out
lay for pensions by $5,4O0OO0 annually,
at a modest estimate.
Now. is every man who is over 81
years of age partially disabled? Run
over the list Of your acquaintance ana
you viii find many men more than So
years of age who are strong and sturdy
and vigorous, fully capable OF earning
an honest living for themselves and
their families. Many OF them would
resent an insinuation to the contrary.
At least half the members Of the United
states senate are more than G. years
OF age. Are they incapable Of earning
a living?
Not long ago President Roosevelt APP
pointed 10 a lucrative position a man
who for years has been drawing a pen
sion for total disability. This same
man has held one office or another mosc
OF the time since the close of the war.
There has hardly been a time, in fact,
when he was not drawing as much as
$1,000 a year from the government in
addition 10 his pension. The new ruling
win let IN more like him, more grab
bers who have no shadow Of right
morally speaking, TO pensions.
| The whole business looks very much
( ike a plan to capture what is known
"a the soldier vote" Ii is to be hoped
| the soldiers themselves will resent ii
and viii show their resentment by vot-
ing against the man who would prac-
] tically bride them
