THE PRICE OF STYLE.

GTYLE costs money as most OF us
~ who journey through this vale OF
tears have learned to our cost. 1t is
a commodity which commands price
because it is cherished by most persons
beyond comforts and even necessities.
A story comes from Philadelphia
which illustrates our theory. A mill
lionaire was stopping at the new Belle
vue-stratford Hotel He wandered In.
to dining room and ordered breakfast.
Nothing struck him as odd tin several
Of the guests began to treat him famil-
iarly. Finally his check came calling
for So cents He was greatly surprised
at the modest amount TIL he read on IL:
Maids and Valets' Check" He had
gotten in the servants dining room.
We might stop right here to draw
our moral and thus adorn the tale. but
there is more. The guest Indignantly
rushed up to the Office to demand an
explanation and apology for being
shown into the servants quarters, but
the clerk calmly listened to the explain
alton and blandly remarked: "snce
you are not a maid or a valet the
charge is $780, and proceeded to coll
lect the bill. Now then for the moral:
A good breakfast is worth So cents but
It is only worth that to a servant: to
others it is worth what they viii pay;
and that brings us back to our ori-
ginal proposition that If you require
style you must SO down into your pock-

EDITORIAL OPINION

From the Salt Lake Herald.
Commander Peary is to make another
attempt to reach the North Pole. He
says 1t win be his last try for the
hitherto unattainable. whether he
reaches 1t or not In the summer Of
1905 Peary is to make his start. He
may be away two or three years. In
this final effort thousands Of dollars
are to be expended. for nothing that is
In any way calculated to further the
success OF the undertaking viii be omit

And, after all. is the expenditure in
time, In money. In suffering worth
while? II would be very nice. indeed,
for the United States to have. through
one Of It's citizens. the credit for dis
covering the North Pole But when 1t
has been discovered will humanity be
any better off2 VIII any naked backs
be clothed, any empty stomachs filled,
any shelterless ones sheltered?
Nobody has an idea that the land
around tho Pole II there Is any land
there, is habitable. Nobody supposes
that an empire viii be opened for set
tlement. No material advantage what
ever, indeed, will be derived from the
discovery Of the North Pole by Peary
or any other individual. There will be
glory enough, Of a sort, for Peary. and
glory, by reflection, for the nation. But
there are so many other ways to secure
better returns for money aud hardship
that IL seems pity TO expend the one
and endure the other in a search for
the Pole.

ASSUMPTION.

A n ARTICLE IN the Morning News
4 a which Is evidently Inspired gives
US an intimntlon Of the methods that
certain persons propose to employ to
dispose Of the contests before the coun-
~ committee We have felt disposed
70 allow the matter to rest, presumlng
that the committee would do its duty
when the time came for II to take up
the contests; but the News, apparently
with a knowledge OF the course that
certain opponents OF an investigation
propose to pursue. attempts to prepare
the public mind for an acceptance Of a
ticket against part OF which there
is the strongest evidence OF fraud.
Read this:
II is believed that the ballots In the
Shellpot district win show the follow
ing result, when they are recounted.
the figures being the same as the
present returns; Tyre, 1873 votes;
Elliott, Is votes; Brown, . votes.
why is this believedg who besides
the election officers knows what that
ballot box will show? This suggests
that precaution was taken by some-
body before the box came into the
sherlff's hands and was locked up to
see that the ballots should compare
with the Official count. The committee
should ask the News to state the rea-
sons for its "belief' and to say on what
authority it came to have that "be-
lief"
We read further that Il is 'believed'-
that the committee will not throw out
the district 1T being assumed that the
recount Of ballots viii agree with the
returns already tabulated" Now we
are going to assume something; our
assumption is that somebody has made
up verdict for the committee in ad-
vance. and has transferred his assump-
ton TO the News which has obligingiy
used its columns TO prepare the public
for a possible cowardly verdict.
But we are not yet ready to assume
that a majority OF the committee will
be satisfied with anything less than
an honest investigation and an honest
decision. Suppose the ballots do tally
with the tabulated figures, what is go
ing to be done with those seventy affi-
davits? The men who made them are
substantial citizens. Nobody would
hesitate to take the word OF one of
them. What viii be done. then. with
their afidavits? Can the committee
say to these men that hfty-hve OF them
are prejuers? In other words. we are
given to infer that TO wrongly eount
the ballots is crime. but that the
crime is wiped out IL the ballot box IS
so manipulated that it win echo the lie
Of the false count
We repeat that we have no personal
interest in the success Of either OF
these candidates. There is something
much more important at stake. Shall
fraud at our primaries-Repubncan
primaries-be encouraged by turning
down the best evidence it is possible TO
get? The committeeman who fails to
do his fun duty is an enemy OF the
Republican party.
