Work Now Pushing Along on
Northern Pacific Road.

AS If in verifcation of what this
paper last week stated regarding
railroad work, surveyors are now
planning an extension Of the
Northern Pacific.
Practical bridge men are near
Vancouver where the Columbia will
be bridged-and from that point
surveys run to Saint Johns. Here
the Willamette will be bridged in
order that trains can get into Port
land without the trouble and ex-
pense of ferry transfer. There is a
possible route for the road near
Woodlawn-but in railway circles
IT is conceded that the Saint Johns
route is the more feasible of the
wo-snd allows more independ-
ence of action.
THE REVIEW congratulates itself
that this news was first given to
the public through these columns,
even though the later information
appeared in other journals. As we
have repeatedly asserted there is an
excellent future for Saint Johns.

PULPIT VARIETY.

Some of the efforts made by preachers
to induce people to come and hear
them are almost pathetic. According
to Dies MOines, Iowa, dispatch the
ministers there are engaged in an ex-
citing rivalry along this line One of
them is giving illustrated lectures on
the RussO-Japanese war. another IS
solemn word of honor that he viii not
preach longer than twenty minutes and
that his topic Will be a light one.
Before long we may expect to hear
of vaudeville performances and circus
acts In the pulpits of Des Moines II
the people there like that sort of thing
they are more than welcome. bur many
churchsoers are old fashioned enough
TO believe that a church IS a place where
religion should be taught. There is as
much religion in lectures on the Russo
Japanese war as there is i'm a French
novel, and the other forms of service
are not much better.
1t has been argued that unless people
are entertained they viii not go to
church at all and that if they don {
go TO church they will go to some much
worse place. We agree that the day of
the rstly-to-teuthly and then on end
lessly sermon is over. but there is an
other extreme toward which the
pastors seem to be drifting. They have
nearly reached it in Des Moines.

A NEW THEORY.

In a lecture delivered i'm Chicago the
other day William James. professor of
philosophy in Harvard university, ad-
vanced the somewhat startling propo-
sition that higher education is an i'm
portant factor i'm the production or
criminals. This because education de-
velops intelIects in which the germ of
criminality has been implanted. Hear
Professor James:
Fifty years ago schools were supposed
! to free US from crime and all forms OF
unhapptneSs and evil he declared. I'VE
do not indulge i'm any such sanSuiue hopes
at prescpt. For the schools and colleges
merely aEgraVatc the evils instead of cur
failing them. It is true that higher educd-
ton has freed us from the more brutal
forms Of crime. but the very education
itself has put even meaner crimes in our
way"
1t is difficult to believe that Professor
James intended his statement to be
taken seriously. If such a theory
gained general credence the natural re-
suit would be the emptying of the
class rooms in all the great colleges and
universities of the country. Parents
would no longer send their boys to
educational centres and the most
ignorant man would i'm time come to be
| considered the most honest man.
Professor James doubtless meant his
hearers to understand that no amount
of education will make Il good boy out
OF a boy who has inherited or acquired
criminal instincts; ne meant that the
4 instructive criminal VIII be a criminal
regardless of any influences for good
with which he may be surrounded.
| There viii be a disagreement on this
point. too for TO admit that it is inn
possible to reform criminal would
mean that all the work of centuries in
this line has been failure.
We doubt if Professor James musters
many followers. Parents will continue
TO give their children the best education
they can possibly afford; good men and
women viii continue to do all they can
! TO make good men and boys out of bad
men and boys. If all efforts of this
character were to be abandoned il
would turn the world topsy turvy ia a
very brief period of time.

SENTENCES AND SENTENCES.

In New York the other day Recorder
Gon sentenced Patrick D. Manion to
serve not less than two nor more than
four years i'm prison for stealing nine
teen cents from a companion. An hour
later he pronounced a similar sentence
ON Richard :. Lindsay who sto'e
$1,000. Lindsay stole from his employer
There was nothing picturesque about
either crime, nothing TO make Manions
offense more heinous. nothing to make
Lindsay less culDable.
With the aid OF a little arithmetic il is
very easy to show that il the theft of
nineteen cents justifes two years in
prison then the theft of $4,000 should
call for something like 1850 years
confinement. That would have given
Lindsay plenty OF time in which to con-
slider the error of his way. By the
time he finished his term, allowing de-
auctions for good behaviour. he would
have been ready to start out and make
an honest name for himself.
Seriously. it does seem rather hard
to be seut to prison tor two years for
stealing just nineteen cents. Suppose
/ every man. woman and child who has
! stolen that much should be sent to
/ prison. wouldn't it be necessary TO
/ make some vast engagements in our
/ penitentiaries? And wouldn't a lot of
| high class society be taken out Of our
midst?"
There be those who would shudder-
| ingly resent the statement that they
! are dishonest. And. in the common
/ acceptation- of the term they are not
/ dishonest. They haven't put their
] fingers into their neighbors' cash
/ drawer and distracted anything. But
haven't some of them evaded the pay
ment of street car fare. thus robbing
the railway company of five or ten cents
more than once? Haven't they evaded
! the payment of customs duties, thus
/ robbing the government
! Think of going TO the penitentiary
| for two years. Hadn't you better brace
! up and begin living an honest life?

VACATION TIMES.

Vacation time is at hand again.
Something tells you that YOU ought to
get away TO one Of the canyons for
fishing trip or into the country to lie in
q hammock and loaf the days away.
You may feel like going on "A hunting
excursion No matter, though. what
that. if you are an ordinary. average
mortal. you do not feel like doing and
that is work of any sort.
The trouble is that you are tired. You
had hard winter and a busy spring.
Now that the long summer days are
here you think YOU have earned a rest.
If you have done well the work you
had in hand you certainly should have
the rest now. \ man who has given
the subject some study says it is absurd
10 think that in two weeks one can get
ria OF all the fatigue incident to the
other nifty. This is true to some extent.
1t is not possible TO overcome all the
fatigue. but two weeks. or even one
week. helps out nightly. The man who
works all the year round will inevfta bly
wear out sooner than the man who
takes short rest every year. The wise
employer knows that vacations pay.
IN all well regulated establishments it
is the custom to give every employee at
least "A weeks vacation on pay every
year In such houses it is an accepted
fact that the employe works hard
enough when he returns to more than
compensate for the wages ne is paid
when he is doing nothing.
The brief rest brings the worker back
fun of strength and yigor. More. if he
is the right sort of an employee, he
comes back determined to show his
appreciation of the good treatment
given him. So money invested by an
employer in vacations for those under
him is money Well invested. II yields
handsome and immediate dividends in
more work and better work
An employer of this sort was once
approached by one % his men at vaca-

LIBERTY PARK.

In a communication published in yes

TO know if the new drive up city Creek
canyon and around to Fort Douglas will
be sprinkled. He also wants TO know
why the driveways in Liberty park are
not sprinkled more freely. \ great
many other people would also like to
know. If there is a good reason for
not keeping the Liberty park driveways
IN first class condition it will he proper
Tor the sprinkling authorities TO let it
be known.
Liberty park is the playground of the
people. They are using it more all the
tim" and il viii continue to grow in
popularity if a reasonable care for the
comfort of the people is shown. The
dust ON the driveways does more than
Inconvenience those who have carriages
and automobiles. y small percentage
of the population, indeed, can afford
such 1uxuries. While their comfort is
undoubtedly entitled to consideration,
the comfort of the general public is also
worth considering. And the dust that
is stirred up by the vehicles blows over
the grass and into the faces Of the less
fortunate. They are more incommoded
than the drivers. The park should be
sprinkIed as often as il is necessary, to
keep the dust down.
Another park Improvement that is
worthy of attention is the matter OF
tables for picnic parties. \ visitor to
Liberty park on July Fourth observed
the scramble for the two or three
rickety old tables now owned by the
city. For a few dollars enough trestles
and boards could be secured to make
room for everybody. The council should
make the purchases.

A sANER FOURTH.

Reports from all over the country in
dicatc that the movement for sane
celebration OF independence day IS
gaining ground. There were many
casualties. but the list OF fatal acct
dents was not as long as il previous
wears and fewer celebrauts were in
jured It is greatly to be hoped that
the good work will go on until We can
all celebrate the Fourth as rational
people should celebrate the anniversary
OF their nations birth.
We would not deprive the small boy
entirely of his firecrackers and his sky
rockets, but we would do away with
the great bombs that have become a
feature of the celebration and we would
make the manufacture or sale OF toy
pistols a felony 1t is difficult to con-
slider with patience the actions of some
grown men on the Fourth of July.
For example. there is the hulking
brute that deliberately threw a giant
cracker in such a way as to cause two
women severe shock and great dis
tress. Fortunately he was arrested and
justice viii be measured out to him.
other men who should have known bet
ter occupied themselves in exploding
dynamite crackers, TO the great annoy
ance OF those who believe the Fourth
of July can be observed quietly.
However. the celebration in Salt Lake
was so much less noisy, so much more
orderly than the celebrations of other
years that. except for a few isolated
cases. there is little reason for com
plant. We may reasonably hope that
next year the day will be more quietly
observed, that the ordinances and the
police regulations Will be more gen
orally obeyed.
