arrest Was made was not committed
in the presence of the officer. 1t de-
veloped, however, that Romero was
tried in police court for being drunk
and disorderly while in custody re-
sult!ng from the arrest.

A NATIONAL REVIVAL.

In all the Investigations and reform move
ments which have been a characteristic OF the year
just closing Indicate rcvulsion from the craze Tor
money and turning back to the old standards
which are the foundation of all good government,
because they have their origin in the spiritual HE
Money in itself is all right if gotten properly
and used well, but the American people have been
so keen in their pursuit of wealth that for time
they lest sight of the obligation to follow the right
no matter where it may lead. Too many have
thought wealth the main object of lift no matter
how it was gained; too many have been willing to
sacrifice honor and horals in order to gam riches
They forgot that ill-gotten wealth is sure to be
curse sooner or later and nothing can profit man
if he lose his soul III the winning OF money or sta
ton.
Happily for the nation and the people, the signs
point to a revival of regard for truth, for honor
for righteousness. Those men in high political
office who bartered their influence and the power
given them by the people, for the sordid dollars OF
corruptionists have come to the day of judgment;
the fnanciers who have abused their trusts to get
rich illegally the thieves and plunderers who have
debauched cities for their own proft-ali these are
being confronted with an aroused public con-
science bent on Furnishing wrong and establishing
anew the standards of right-doing in public life
and public place.
All this is only another way of saying that the
people are awaking to the necessity for every
day religion; a rule of ife-which shall demand of
men the observance of religion in business, in poll
tics, il their dealings with one another. They see
that in the end no genuine success can attend any
activity unless it is Won by following the example
of the One who embodied all practical living in
the Golden Rule.
Surely the year is to be remembered well if only
for this revival of spiritual life in the masses of
the American people, and its promise of still better
things to come.

POPULAR HEROES.

The type of popular hero OF today is unique, be-
cause of his plainness. The word hero is usually
associated with some great wardrobe becomes
hero because he was able to kill more Of his fellow
creatures than any one els. Occasionally the pop
ular hero has been some great orator, who by the
magic spell of his words Gas often wrong as right
could sway mems minds by his silver tongue, and
cause them to do his bidding. Jus. now. however,
the hero is the plain going citizen. full of energy,
honest of purpose, possessing sound common sense,
without any frills, determined to see justice DONE
without caring rap how exalted or wealthy the
wrong-doer may be. The type is exemplifed in
Governor Folk of Missouri, and District Attorney
Jerome of New York. Both of these men have
achieved national prominence by successfully at
lacking corruption in high places, by fighting the
battles of the weak against the strong, and strip
ping the mask OF hypocritical pious frauds
This type of man is not by any means limited
to the two above mentioned. They are merely
notable instances, because they live in the large
centers. Thousands of others throughout the
country are achieving the same results each in his
sphere and possibly in most cases unconscious of
any glory IN what he is doing. In fact. such men
must work without reference to praise or blame.
If they were influenced by either, they would fall
short, for the best work that is accomplished is
done in the face OF what appears to be sure con
domination and oblivion, but is carried out as a
matter of principle. Such, for instance as when
Jerome defied all of the political bosses Of New
York. those Of his own party as well as the Others

WHAT sALT~tLI LIKE NEEDS.

'What Salt Lake most needs to become great
city," is question that many persons are now dis
cussing. The proper answering Of it is all I'M
portant. While there are many persons of many
minds, in the matter of arriving at conclusion,
most of them agree in the main. The Deseret News
is vitality interested in the proper discussion and
presentation of the proposition and therefore in
vited number of leading citizens to give their
views on the subject What they have to say af-
fords very good reading In the Christmas News.
Bishop Laurence Seaman of the Catholic
church says: "Be good citizen, live
up to the requirements of the laws.
There is too much attempt at evasion
of our laws, and where citizens take upon them
selves the duty of interpreting the statutes suit
heir convenience, confusion and disorder arc sure
TO follow. Purity in poiticsis also demanded; and
peace harmony of action among citizens There
should be an abundance of water, giving Gael. man
all he needs for the preservation of lawns, flowers
and shade trees; and at as low price the water
can be furnished for In fact water is funda-
mental question in this part Of the country.

tics and put the best men in Office without regard
TO their religious affiliations. We want the fullest

up the city archtecturally that is, let citizens who
may desire to build, allow types of architecture

choice, 50 as to promote homogeny; also, let each
citizen interest himself in identifying the city.
Give the railroads prompt encouragement. and
do not hesitate to bestow franchises where inteli-

EPISC0P4kIAMS DON'T WANT THEM.

The Episcopal church does not want the Catho-
hes who have been thrown out of their church for
rebellion against ecclesiastical authority. The
Living Church of Milwaukee, in its current mum
Der, makes this plainly apparent in discussing tho
Omaha affair The paper says:
eve hope it may not be true that the Episcopal
church is to become the dumping ground for GER
tain persons who have been accommodated in
Omaha by the Roman Catholic bishop for partici-
pating in the sacrilegious marriage of divorced
person. The communicated parties may we'll be
given to understand that, while they might be toll
Grated they are certainly not wanted as communi-
cants of the Episcopal church. When all bishops
and all priests become so imperYious to considera-
tons of wealth and social position on the part Of
sinners that the discipline of the church becomes
thing to be respected by them, there will be less
cause to deplore the vast gulf between the profes-
sions of the Christian church and the actions of
Christian people"
