There was once a poor man who was
visited by misfortune. in that his house
was burned. There was no insurance
on the house and he lacked the means
Wherewith to rebuild Many persons
who never overlooked a chance TO get
their names in print in connection
with charitable entertainments said.
Wasn't it too bad the poor mans
house burned?" Many other people of
good repute In the community met the
man and shook his hand, saying: I'm
awfuily sOrryl" This was repeated
many times. but the man was still
without house. After the profession
al sympathizers had got through a GER
tain man who was known as a philis-
tine and who was looked down upon
Dy the better class of people came
along. He did not shake hands with
the poor man, nor did say he was sOr-
~. He simply said: "HOw much do
you need?" and put his hand in his
pocket and drew out piece of money,
and presently there was a new house
on the poor mans lot There are sew
eral kinds of sympathy.

that failed to receive consideration was
the post check currency bill. This
measure was heartily favored by a
large proportion of the business men
Of the country and by most of The
ne wspapers. It's adoption would be a
good thing for the country. However.
there is not time now to discuss the
merits Of the post check currency sys-
TEN. The bin was not passed and we
have the Republican majority in con-
gress to thank for it.
No tariff legislation of any kind was
attempted, other than the Cuban recip-
rocity bin which was passed at the
special session. In the face of a pres
idential campaign the Republicans
could not afford to antagonize the
trusts that have grown up under the
tariff and that are expected to con-
tribute handsomely to the party's
campaign fund next fall.
We may expect to hear a great deal
now about Republican economy. Al
ready some Of the organs are pointing
to the fact that the appropriations ag-
gregate sum $22 1000, 900 less than the
estimated revenue. 1t is the veriest
buncombe to pN~ade this as an exam
pie of economy. The Republicans sim
ply had TO cut down expenses or face
almost certain defeat at the hands of
the people. It was not to be expected
that they would dare TO be extravagant
i'm a presidential year. And they man
aged to take care Of their fsHvorites
very Handsomely, even then.
Taken by and large the party has
no reason to point with pride to the
record made at the session just ended.
They viii be forced into a defensive
attitude before the campaign is six
weeks old and they will be kept in that
attitude until the votes are cast.

ADJOURNMENT OF CONGRESS-.

CONGRESS HAS ADJOURNED, af-
\ ter pursuing the do-nothing policy
mapped out by the Republican leaders
at the opening Of what is now known
as the second session last December.
Eleven hundred and fifty bills were
passed, which would make it appear
that congress had. after all. done
something. But more than 1000 Of
these bills were OF private character
such as pension bills. bills for the cree
ton Of public buildings and the like
Less than 100 Of the measures posses
sed any public significance.
I'm failing to pass even the half
way statehood measure. the bill adj
hitting Arizona and New Mexico as
one state and Oklahoma and the In
dian Territory as another, the Repub-
licans broke a fat party pledge. They
failed. too. 10 enact anything that
might be considered antitrust legisla-
tion. unless the passage Of the resolu-
ton for an inquiry into the meat trust
can be so described. And the way Sec
RETRY Cortelyou is conducting that in
vestigation indicates that he did not
take the resolution seriously.
The proposition so earnestly favored
by prominent 6. 4. r. men for the
passage Of a general pension law
failed. but its failure was due. not so
much to a lack Of desire to pass the
bill as to the liberal construction Pres
ident Roosevelt ordered placed on eX-
isting pension laws. IL is evident that
the Republicans. through this action
Of the president. hope to win the solid
old soldier vote.

THE HERALD published yesterday
morning a communication from a
clerk in favor of a general halliday
holiday every week. The thing can
surely be managed if the employers
viii go about it in the right spirit. In
most of the larger eastern cities clerks
have half-holiday every week. Some
times it is in the middle of the week.
sometimes earlier, sometimes later. but
the half-holiday is always granted and
every emplOye is the better for it. The
same arrangement can be made in
Salt Lake.
Every bank employe i'm the city now
has half-holiday on Saturday. Some
inconvenience was caused by the ar
rangement at first. but it has all been
done away with now. We know the
banks will be closed at noon on Satur-
day as surely as we know the sun will
rise and set on that day. and we make
our arrangements accordingly. 1t
might not be possible to arrange a
half-holiday for clerks generally on
Saturday. The custom Of shopping on
Saturday is one that cannot easily be
done away with.
Housewives have a habit of order
ing something at the last minute to
wear on Sunday or for the family to
eat on Sunday. For years they have
been following this course. and to edu-
cate them out of it would be a decided
" difficult undertaking. Some incon-
venience would necessarily. be caused
by mid-week half holidays. but it
would not be so great because bright
and early the next morning housekeep-
ers could get anything they desired.
The loss to merchants during the sum-
mer months would not amount to a
great deal Indeed. it would amount
to nothing at all if every one of them
Joined in the arrangement. PEOPLE
would simply postpone their buying.
that's all.
But for the half-holiday movement
to be a success it must have the sup
port of all the merchants and business
men. 1t would be obviously unfair for
a few to close while others kept omen
for the purpose of securing trade prop
erly belonging to others. There is the
cruX Of the situation There is where
the clerks are going to have a hard
time. The Herald hopes they will be
successful. Their hours of labor are
long and their remuneration is small.
They are entitled to a reasonable
amount of rest
BY all means let the weekly haIf-boI-
iday movement be pushed until the de-
sired end has been accomplished.

ASSASSINATION TALK
CAUSED FURRY
IN COURT
Prisoner Was Searched
For Weapons
And GIVEN FIVE YEARS

Savannah, Ga, April 7.-Rumors
that an attempt would be made to as
sassinate United States Circuit Judge
Emory Speers in court today and that
Harry Olsen, convicted OF "shang-
haing" who. it was thought would try
to shoot the judge, woul,. be taken
from the officers and liberated when
brought up for sentence, caused in
tense excitement in the court room.
The officers learned that friends of
Olsen were prepared to create dis
turbance during which the prisoner
could be spirited away and Judge Speer
adjourned court for one hour in order
that Olsen might be searched for any
weapon he may have been able to Sc
crete about his person. This precau-
tion was deemed necessary, as the
room was full of sailors and foreign
ers and serious riot might have fol-
lowed the searching of the prisoner in
court
When court re-convened, Judge
Speer sentenced Olsen to prison for
five years and imposed a fine of S., 900
No secreted weapons had been found
and court again adjourned with order
prevailing.

THE T|BETANS
Utterly Refuse to Be Con-

Kalatzo, Tibet, April while Ma
jor Peterson and force of fifty mount
ed infantry of the Younghusband ex-
pedition we're on scouting expedition
TO the northward they discovered in
the village of Samondu force of 200
Tibetans. The latter invited the Brit
ish to approach and signified that they
were friendly, only TO let drive vol
ley as soon as the British came within
120 yards of the place. Major Peterson
withdrew his men who were un-
harmed.
This incident shows that the Tibe-
tans do not intend to permit the Brit
ish to proceed without dogged opposi-
tion and despite the attempt to con-
ciliae the natives, there is sure to be
much bloodshed before the mission
reaches the presence of the grand
llama
The Tibetans are being strongly re-
inforced and fight is expected within
"a hours.

CORONER
Criticises State Mine Of
fiCiale

Pittsburg, Pa, April IL. e. Rode
rick, chief of the bureau of mines, and
his assistants were today sharply crit
icised by Coroner J. NJ. McGeary for
Withholding information in their pos
session connected with the HGrwick
mine explosion. The state officials"
said McGedry, must understand that
] am conducting this inquest. They
come here with the intention of rem
dering a verdict, but my jury will do
that"
Coroner McGeary also intimated
that possibly on account of the neg
ligence that has been brought out both
at Harwick and other mines has led
the state mine officials to vince un-
der the possibility of any imtimation
that they have been negligent in at
tending to their duties. The coroner
has asked several of the mine officials
to testify or furnish him with their
reports but they have refused.
