time felt a desire to wear a uniform
and sword. 10 be "a soldier d.

Point \ competent authority. city
School Superintendent Christensen, says
the deadly cigarette is responsible for
most Of the failures.
over seventy-hve per cent of the boys
who would like to attend the military
school, says Mr.. Christensen, are de-
prived of that honor and privilege be-
cause they are excessive users Of cigar
cites. The cigarettes affect their eyes
and their hearts TO such an extent that
the examining surgeons reject them on
physical examination. More specifi-
cally. Mr. Christensen says that since
Utah became a state about $50 boys
have tried to get into the army through
West Point or into the navy through
Annapolis. Out of that number every
boy who smoked cigarettes was re-
jected
This is most remarkable showing.
There are no exceptions to the rule.
Every cigarette smoker failed. Some
who did not smoke failed also. but their
rejection was not always because Of
their physical condition. Here is a lit
tie sermon for the boys and they would
do well to pay careful heed to it.
Whether they care about entering the
navy or the army or not, these local
statistics show that if they smoke
cigarettes they are wrecking their con-
stitutions and running their lives.
They cannot hope 10 become worthy,
useful citizens if they persist in the
habit, for cigarettes unfit them for any
business. Nearly all Of the large en-
ployers of young men now have a rule
which prohibits the smoking of cigar
cites during working hours. Preference
is given to those who do not smoke
them at ALL either at home or in the
office. The habit has come to be re-
garded as one of the surest paralyzers
of value to the employers. Cigarette
smokers are not as careful. not as at
tentive TO business, they make more
mistakes and give less return for their
wages or salaries than non-smokers.
Cannot the boys be taught these
truths before they become slaves to the
habit2

a GREAT POWER SCHEME.

the third largest ever financed in the
United States, were given in The Her

proposed TO develop electrical energy

horsepower The fact that IL was pos

year when prophecies of hard times
are being freely. though unwarrant-
ably made, speaks volumes for the
merit of the undertaking.
It is proposed to bring down 4 con-
siderable proportion Of this power by
direct line to Salt Lake City. and thus
10 insure an unfailing supply Of cur
rent for lighting Salt Lake and for
keeping its street cars in continuous
operation This is an Improvement

sum of $5,OoO,O0O is to be expended ulti-
mately I'm the completion Of the en-
terprise, the erection Of its transmits
sion lines and its power stations. With
a vast extent of pOwer-using territory
between Salt Lake and Shoshone, the
success Of the plans seems assured.
Comparatively few people have any
idea of what the development OF 1O0, 600
horsepower means. Horsepower, under
the Watt system, is measured in foot
pounds. a foot-pound is a pound
raised a foot per second against gray
ity by a given power. A single horse
power is capable of raising $50 foot
pounds per second That is. it will
raise $50 pounds per second. If the
Shoshone Falls plants develop 900
horsepower, this viii mean the ability
to lift 55.OO0OOO pounds a foot every
second.
This is power enough 70 turn every
wheel in every establishment between
salt Lake and ShoshOne, with some TO
spare for new industries. The estab-
nshment OF these plants will mean
much to all the territory in which they
will be operated. The Herald wishes
the Shoshone Falls Power & Lighting
company the full measure of success
il deserves.

COLLEGE GRADUATES SUCCESS.


# HE PRESIDENT Of the College of
L the City of New York. Mr.. John
Finley. declares in a recent interview
that the college graduate has one
chance in forty to succeed in life
According TO the same authority. the
man who is not college graduate.
the self made man, so-called, has only
one chance in ten thousand to achieve
success. Certainly this is a showing
most favorable TO the college bred man.
Il seems to put the other fellows prac-
tically out Of the running
Now success" is a word that is
capable of many interpretations. To
some Of us it means the acquisition
of wealth; 90 others it means a life
of contentment; to more il means fame
in some line of worthy endeavor. A
man may be a success without be-
coming known outside of a very lin
tied circle; he may be successful with
out being wealthy, without winning
honors as a scientist, a statesman. a
man Of letters. No man who is really
happy, who makes his family and those
around him happy, can be called a
failure, however humble the sphere in
which he moves.
A college education is assuredly an
invaluable aid 10 any man who desires
90 make the most of his time and his
talents; but all the colleges in the
world cannot make a smart man out
of a natural born fool or an industrious
citizen out of a drone- 1t is quite pos
sible that a considerable percentage
OF the college men who are successes
would have been successes if they had
never gone to college. We must re-
member in any discussion of this sub
ject that the boys who are sent to col
lege are nearly always the brightest
boys in the land.
In the average family there VIII al
ways be found a boy who is fond Of
study and a boy who is not fond Of
study; there viii always be boys who
are ambitious and boys who are not
ambitious. 1t is natural that the stu
dious young men should go to college,
as it is natural for the boys who
don't care for the knowledge to be
found I'm books TO go to work early
in life. Many of the latter class Win
success in one form or another. sue
cess in the meaning commonly accepted
by the world. success that they might
not have achieved If they had been
forced unwillingly through college.
The Herald believes strongly in coll
lege education. It would have every
young man who can possibly do it Sc
cure one, but we hardly believe the
hondicap carried by the noH-coTege
bred man is as serious as Mr. Fin
ley's statistics would seem to indicate.

Resolutions of Respect.

Another one of our members has
been called hence to swell the host
who chant his praises forever.
Bro. Hardy Walton departed this
life on the evening of Sept. IA, 1904.
We are grieved to prepare this sad
tribute of respect to one so dear to
US all. He was faithful friend, a
generous, noble hearted man, whose
deeds of kindness and charity were
many, and his absence is deeply
felt by family, church and host OF
friends. AS husband and father
words would fail to do him justice.
We cherish the memory of him in
his devotion and sacrifice as he
labored for the comfort and pleasure
of those so dear to him. But wher
the cruel hand of the murderer end.
ed this life of his, he laid down hi:
labors on earth and assured his dear
ones he would meet them in the
great beyond.
Resolved, That in the death Of
Bro. Walton the church realizes the
loss of devoted, faithful member
one true to his convictions ant
strong in the faith.
Resolved, That we extend oul
heartfelt sympathy to the bereavet
wife and children praying that they
may, through the dark shadow Of
sorrow, see his smiling face and
feel his guiding hand leading them
to that heavenly home to join The
loved ones gone before.
Resolved, That these resolutions
be sent to the BOLIVAR BULLETIN
