yet even in the history Of the tea

Ceylop was a land Of coffee and Of

The leaves of the palm are used for
roofing, the ribs of the leaves for

nut for mating and cordage, the finer
inner fiber for the stufing of mat
tresses. The flesh of the nut supplies
a natural food, and, desiccated and

\ TRULY .eReAT PAPER"

~ ESTEEMED CONTEMPORARY,
Il the salt Lake Tribune. yesterday
printed an editorial under the caption,
The Tribune. the Only Newspaper"
IT is not necessary for US to say that
the matter under the caption was high
IL commendatory Of the salt Lake
Tribune. There being none other poor
enough 10 do It reverence. our es-
teemed contemporary felt impelled TO
undertake the work itself 1T IS not
pleasant for Us to strip from the Trib-
uue its mantle of egotism and leave It
naked. if unashamed. before the public,
but a seEse Of duty urges Us 70. the
deed.
The Tribune was, has been. is. and
viii continue 10 be the only newspaper
in Utah. says our esteemed eoHtem-
porary. Do we hear a motion to strike
out ali after the word "been?'' Thank
you. II has been moved and seconded
that all after the word been" be
stricken out. Are you ready for the
question? 4 rollean does not seem to
be necessary. The secretary viii see,
that the records show that the motion
was adopted unanimously. Let US now
proceed to- other business.
In an IDLE moment yesterday we
turned from the refreshment of reading
The Herald To the labor OF reading the
Tribune We found that the makers OF
the Tribune know a good newspaper
when they see one. They read The
Herald. We know this because We dis
covered several items in the Tribune
that seemed familiar TO US. They we're
familiar because they had previously
been published in The Herald.
Among those present as the society
editor takes pleasure in saying. were
a story about Miss Best aud her mis-
sionary work in Korea, an item about
the death Of Charles n. Stebbins. one
about the institution Of a cooperative
laGndry. an accident at Thistle June
ton. an accident to the son Of o. c.
Beebe, an account Of the funeral OF
Bishop sheets and an account Of how
some hoodlums were beaten or by a
hacHman returning from the Country
club. There was also an announcement
10 the effect that George L. Nye had
been called east by the illness Of his
father. The Herald announced the
death Of Mr.. Nye's father some days
ago.
These little matters we discovered in
a casual survey OF the Tribune's col
umas. II we had felt enough Ike
working to read the Tribune thorough
" the list would. Of course. have been
greatly heightened. The same sort OF
thing happeas so often that it Is no
longer commented on IN this office The

HARD TO EXPLAIN.

7 ATER DETAILS OF the Norge dis
l. aster, IN which upward Of 500 lives
were lost. make the disaster seem one
of the most inexcusable in the. history
of navigation. The rocks upon which
the Norge was wrecked OF the Scot
fish coast were plainly marked on the
chart in the captains cabin on the yes
sci, as they are on every chart in the
cabin Of every captain who sails be-
tween New York and Liverpool How
it was possible for the vessel to get so
far out OF her normal course as TO
strike the rocks viii probably never be
explained to the satisfaction of friends
Of the victims or TO the satisfaction Of
the general public.
Another feature Of the disaster that
is hard to explain is the insuficiency
of the Hfeboats and other apparatus de-
signed for use in such disaster as
befen the Norge. Although the vessel
had a carrying capacity Of more than
1000 persons, there were only eight
hfebOats- And these boats were de-
signed TO hold but thirty persons each.
eight boats had been put in commits
sion it would have been possible TO save
only 240 people. But even the eight
were not available.
Just five Of them were launched at
all. OF 1.-The five only two managed TO
get clear of the wreck. The others
were sucked under the water by the
ship when she went down Yet sur
viyoTs say there was no panic, that the
officers and crew did as well as men
could do under the circumstances. The
blame. therefore, for the loss Of more
than SEQ lives. properly rests with the
owners OF the boat. If they had seen
to it that there were on board reason
able amount of protection against dis
aster, hundreds Of persons who were
drowned might have been saved.
We have been accustomed in recent
years 10 regard travel by sea as being
as safe or safer. perhaps. than travel
by land And. considering the vast
numbers who go down to the sea in
ships the percentage Of casualties has
been extremely small It is only when
We are brought face TO face with such
disasters as that of the Norge and the
General Sl0cum that we realize how
surely the lives Of those on board ships
are in the hands of those who own or
sail them Both owners and sailors
have grown careless because Of the long
period that has elapsed since the last
great ocean disaster
They have neglected purchases of |
and life-saving equip /
ment In q word. in the race for divi- /
bends they have been gambling desper-
ately. with human lives as the stakes. /
The only hope in such horrors a & those !
Of the Slocum and the Norge is that |
public sentiment viii be so aroused as
to force ship owners to equip their yes
sells with every possible device for the /
saving Of life.

AUTOMOBILES AND GRASS.

4 NEW YORK MAN mas filed with
Il the commissioner of that city's
parks a formal protest against the
driving of automobiles through Cen
trail Park He thinks they should be
excluded and he gives some we.ghty
reasons therefor. Tie protestant says
that the automobiles go along snort
ing out vile doors" and greatly annoy
ing pedestrians and those who ride in
horse-drawn vehicles. This, however,
is not enough to warrant the exclusion
of the bubbles" So he goes farther.
Says he:
''The trees are beginning TO show the
effects Of the vile doors aforesaid.
TI.ey are not as alive, brilliant, and
fresh along the driveways as they are
in the center Of the park" Then he
makes the prediction that by Septem-
Der many Of the trees viii be in a dy-
ing condition And all because the
automobiles throw out .'noxious and
vexatious OdOrs.' The man-afraid-Of-
automobiles is the first to advance the
theory that they destroy vegetation,
and it VIII take a lot Of argument and
demonstration to convince many peo-
pie that Ee is right.
But he has other reasons. For in
stance, THE squirrels and birds which
used TO be one of the attractive fea-
lures of the Central park drives have
forsaken the roads which the automo-
biies frequent Because of the auto
turning brown, birds and squirrels
fleeing from the odors and gases. It
was high time for somebody to enter
a protest. 1t seems rather singular,
though, that horses and other animals
have not been sickened by the doors
from burning gasoline, that no human
beings have been overcome by them,
that children still play by the road
ways and reach home alive. But per-
haps all that viii come later.
The New York protestant is merely
taking time by the forelock He
doesn't want to wait until Central park
has become a bleak desert, until peo-
pie begin staying away from it to save
their lives. before excluding the deadly
automobile. However. we hardly ex-
pect TIE protest to have the result its
writer desires IN the first place it
has yet to be proven that the autOmO-
bile is responsible for all the evils OF
which ne complains. In the second
place the automobile has arrived TO
make US a long visit and make Ions
visit it undoubtedly viii, in spite of
all the old fogies and their protests.
