stances i'm the Griggsby case, accepted
that resignation.
it has been more than a year since
Attorney General Knox recommended
the dismissal of Griggsby for fatty dis
obeyiHg one OF the rules of the depart
ment by leaving his post without per-
mission. not Ions after charges were
/ preferred against Grisgsey. He was
/ accused of receiving $4,000 from a min
/ ing company to secure the corporation
{ from prosecution by the government
The district attorney admitted that he
had received $1,000 in cash and $500 in
stock of the company. but set up the
feeble claim that it represented an at
( torney's Zee.
And now Criggsby is permitted TO re-
sisu. WHAT has become of the presi-
dents lofty notions about public honor?
Are we TO understand that he desires
leave to amend his public utteran-
/ ces on the subject of rascality in
office Surely Guggsby should have
been discharged ANONYMOUSLY from
the public service. In the first
/ place he should have been dis
charged for violating one of the
rules, as recommended by the attorney
/ general. In the second place he should
have been discharged for accepting that
$1,000 from the mining company.
On the latter charge he should have
/ been prosecuted. The fact that he re-
/ signs tends TO impress the public with
/ the belief that he is guilty. Innocent
men do not resign under fire. They
stick TO their positions and demand an
! opportunity to clear their regulations.
/ Griggsby has not done this. Innocent
1 he may be but he certainly does not
( act like am innocent man. And the
/ president does not act like a ref0rmer
! who wants to punish the guilty.
/ Senator Burton of Kansas was con-
victed and disSraced, and properly, for
/ committing a much similar Offense to
that with which Griggsby is accused.

that conviction?

JAPs WIN ON LAND.

4 PPARENTLY THE RUSSIANS are
A continuing their declared policy
of Curing the japanese on The jap
anese land forces viii be obliged TO
hurry, too, if they expect to keep in
sight of the Russians. First thing any
body knows the mikadO's men VIII
have been "lured" right into st. Peters
burg. All reports from the lighting
along the Yalu indicate japanese vic
tories. The Russians are steadily re-
treating, the japanese just as steadily
advancing.
The Japanese report the capture OF
twenty-one officers, eighteen machine
guns and ana indefinite number Of non
commissioned officers and men of the
Russian forces. Their casualties are
placed at 200 and the casualties of the
Russians are estimated at upwards Of
Soc Clearly some fierce lighting has
been going on i'm the Yaiu country, No
such lists of land losses have been re
ported since the war between Ger
many and France.
And if the Russians viii stand lOng
enough to make a hard night heavier
losses viii be inflicted ON both sides.
So far the Russians have been afflicted
with the fire and fall back habit. They
have retreated from one position to
another, always with the japanese
following them as rapidly as might be.
TO the average observer the compare
tive ease with which the japanese
haze compelled the Russians to give
r-- e.sH
is surprising. Tt was generally eX-
pected that the Japs would prove
themselves the better sea fighters, but
now they are proving their superiority
ON land regardless of the boasts made
by the Russians and their friends.
We were told that the armies Of the
car would auuihiIate the Japanese
land forces in their first conflict New
ertheIess the reverse is coming to pass.
The little brown men are sweeping
everything before them. Accustomed
TO warm climate, understood, unused
to the severe weather they have been
forced 60 live and Tight ia, the Japan
csc have overwhelmed their physical
superiors. This may be partly ac-
counted for by the fact that the Jap
anese have better generals, but the
best generals cannot win battles un-
less their men fight.
with the japanese soldiers, fighting
for their country IS a very intense sort
OF religion. Death holds no terrors for
them provided it is met i'm the service
OF their native land, The russians
seem to lack this intense loyalty. Their
hearts are not in their work, and their
leaders are going TO have a hard time
compelling them 10 fight as we had
been led 20 believe they would fight.

CONGRESS- BROKE A RECORD.

Az EFFORT has been made by some
a OF our contemporaries to show that
a very early adjournment of congress
is always customary i'm a presidential
year. no matter which party is I'm pow
or. A look through the records shows
that this is not true. Congress ad-
5lurued this year earlier that it ever
did in "a corresponding year The usual
time of adjournment ON the eve of a
presidential contest is midsummer The
earliest previous adjournment in a
presidential year was June II and the
latest was October 20. The average
for forty years has been July 15
1t has become generally understood

MARRIAGE OF TEACHERS.

THE NEW YORK CITY board of ed
4 ucation has decided that it's teach
ers have right 10 get married during
a school year if they so desire. What
is more important, marriage does
not forfeit the position of any teacher.
That is something like it. The New
Workers are TO be commended for thus
boosting the gentle game Of matrimony.
no doubt many teachers in the schools
of the big town have refused to marry
the men of their choice because the
board Of education did not want them
TO take the step. NOW they can step
bHthely to the altar.
suu, the rule that compels a teacher
TO give up her place when she marries
is not a bad one. Women, whether
they are teachers or not, should not
marry men who cannot support them.
If the women are to be bread winners
they should do the winning for them
selves. not for some man. OF course it
sometimes happens that a husband is
am invalid. a thoroughly worthy and
deserving man who is willing enough to
work. but who hasn't the physical
strength. But women should not marry
such men and such men should not be
selfish enough to ask women to marry
them.
The abIe-b bodied man who is willing
for his wife to- support him doesn't de
serve q wife and the sooner the women
find this out the fewer unhappy mar
riages there viii be. However. the
teachers will marry or they VIII not
marry, as they individually please. Far
be it from us TO argue the question with
them. All the rules that can be made
win not make them marry the right
men or keep them from marrying the
wrong men. They reserve to them
selves the inalienable right to select
their own husbands and to marry when
ever and whoever they please.
We believe the salt Lake board Of
education once had. and perhaps it still
has. a rule prohibiting the marriage
o. teachers during q school term. That
rule didn't have any marked effect in
bearing the matrimonial market. The
teachers went right along making men
happy and. let us hope, the men made
the women happy. At any rate various
twains were made one whether school
kept or not and we have not observed
that our educational system has gone
/ to pieces as a result
