be alone with her; after they
are married he is madden if he
has to be.

most as valuable to a man as
betting on horse races.

The man who patronizes a
mail order house does not do so
because he has anything against
the home merchant, but for the
reason that he really believes
that he is doing better than he
can do at home, If the home
merchant would advertise his
bargains and keep his prices liz
the local paper, there would be
less causes for complaint, The
grocer should tell just how
many pounds of sugar. coffee
or other goods dollar will buy
at his store, give his prices on
canned goods, and advertise his
special bargains when he has
them.-Torchlight.

Does II Fit Your

If the people of Monroe coun,
ty should buy all their goods
from 4 mail order house in one
of the big cities Monroe land
would not be worth $50 per
acre. There would be no towns
in The county or first class
stores. Farmers would have
to haul their produce a good
way to market. Think about
this. 1t will pay you to buy
your goods at home. Patrouize
home industry and keep your
money circulating among peo-
pie who buy your produce, and
and patronize you in other
ways. That's the way TO build
up your town and county -

The Vine of Kindness.

Over a winding, wayside wall,
Ragged and rough and gray
There crept tender, clinging
vine.
Tireless day by day.
At last its mantle of the soft
est tint
Covered each Jagged seam;
The struggling wall half broken
down.
Became, with that leafy, tinted
crown,
Fair as an artists dream.
Oh, for the kindness that clings
and twines
Over life's broken wall,
That blossoms above the scars
of pain,
Striving to hold them all!
Oh, for the heIpfnl, ministering
hands,
Benefcent, willing feet,0
Tha. spread rich nantes of
tender thought
Ger life's hard places, till time
has wrought
It's healing-divine, COM

RUNNING AMUcK.

Golfers Weekly is running amuck
these days on the question of college
athletics. IL was doing a great work
in the interest Of pure amateur ath-
letics, but now it is going TO such ex-
tremes that il is likely 10 prejudice its
own case. For example, nothing could
be more Unfair Sthan the attack on
Joseph Maddox. coach at the Univer-
sity of Utah. Mr.. Maddox was on the
University of Michigan football team
under Yost. He is practically charged
with being a professional because his
rhetoric was not up TO a high standard
III college.
Now it may be a very serious matter
for man 10 lag in rhetoric-though it
has not been proved that Maddox did
this-but We fail 10 see how il consti-
tutes professionalism in football. As
TO the rhetoric feature OF the contro-
versy Mr.. Maddox says the professor
who examined his papers was preju-
diced, as was shown. he says, when
the same papers were subsequently ex-
amined by an unbiased committee OF
professors and a very much higher
mark accorded them.
Golfers says that Maddox was AN
utter failure as a student" basing its
statement on the incident Of the rheto-
rio. It also says he never graduated
from Albion college as he said Yet
Mr.. Maddox offers TO produce a di-
Pioma from Albion college. and a
diploma is usually considered at least
9rima facle evidence that its holder
Is a graduate OF the institution named
un the parchment.
In the light Of this case the public
AT least the local public, will be apt 10
lose faith IN the sincerity of Golfers
crusade. 1t is beginning to look too
much as If the paper were Inspired by
Jealousy of Coach Yost's phenomenal
and long continued SUCCESS. We have
neither the time nor the disposition to
defend Mr. Yost. He has made a great
record as a winner OF football victories.

The JEWISH ANNIVERSARY.

Today in their Salt Lake temple the
Jews OF this city and their friends will
celebrate the two hundred and hftieth
anniversary of the coming Of the race
70 America. We are not accustomed 10
look upon the Jew as a pioneer. Rather
has he been regarded as one who comes
after the pathway has been blazed,
after civilization has been firmly estab-
lished. after. indeed. the opportunity
has been made for him by others to
live, il not luxurious. at least a safe
existence.
The fact that for two and one-half
centuries the Jewish people have been
represented in America indicates that
they are able and willing TO endure
their share of pioneering hardships, to
Go their part towards transforming
the wilderness into farm and garden.
In 1906 this country was no paradise.
Dangers and difficulties beset the set
tiers on every hand. The country was
unknown. untried. The settlements
were harassed by hostile Indians, crop
making was difficult. harvests were
scant.
And the Nay OF the Jew was made
even harder than the way of the ordi-
nary settler. We are told that in New
Amsterdam he was not permitted to
hold public office or 10 engage in retail
trade. He might follow the dictates OF
his religious conscience. but he must do
50 quietly, and as a special precaution
against the possibility of disturbing
others he must build his house close to
the houses Of his own kind In a speci-
lied portion of the city. AS the years
went on the Jews proved themselves 70
he good citizens. so good, indeed, that
the authorities could not long deny
Them the fun privileges of citizenship
Right well have the Jewish people
borne themselves since. They have
had an important part in the upbuild-
ing Of the country, they have assisted
materially in its growth and progress
Sober, industrious, charitable, not only
20 their own but to all people. they
have gone forward so steadily that to-
day there is no more thought of dis
elimination against the worthy Jew
than there is Of discrimination against
any other worthy American.
In Utah also citizens Of the Jewish
faith have borne their share of the
burden. Those who have the capital
have freely poured it out here. They
have invested money in our mines. our
railroads; they have done as much as
any class to develop the state, 10 make
il wealthier. more influential, more
representative of American industry
Without them our progress could not
have been as swift or as sure.
The Herald joins with the rest Of the
public in congratulating its Jewish fell
low citizens upon their record of
achievement. It is one which they may
well celebrate with satisfaction and
regard with pride. We believe that
measuring the future by the past, they
viii stin press on, shoulder to shoulder
with our best fighters for civic honor
and state glory; and We know that
their fellow fighters viii be heartened
by their presence.

WOULD START AGAIN.

Charles Al. Schwab commented the

professor that the day of the self-made
man is over. Among other things he
saiA:
why. that statement is foolish l don't
want TO get into any controversy with the
professor, but / am confident that the
chances for ambitious young men TO make
themselves successful were never better
Jhan today. You hear talk about the
corporations throwing limitations about
the individual efforts of young men. The
lact IS that corporations are reaching out
Tor bright youths and paying well for
their services when they find them.
'ihis is the age of the self-made man.
/ wish l was a boy again SO that / could
start over again with the brilliant opp0l-
tunities that l see at hand. Corporations
never paid such big money as they do to-
day.
I am a friend Of colleges. but 7 see a
point on which they cannot lay too much
stress. They should teach their students
that they are no better socially than the
young men who are winning their way IA
the workshops The college diploma ought
not give any man Il superior place in So
ciety over the man who has been learning
by practice while others were learning
through theories.
If Mr. Schwab is really willing to
sta t all over again-we believe he once
drove n hack in a small Pennsylvania
town-he is certainly strong in his
faith. But who wouldn't be willing TO
give mp a few paltry millions of dollars
tor the fun of being boy again, with
all OF a boys vigor and ambition and
ginger" Why. even Uncle Russell
Sage might be willing to pay the price
We are inclined 10 agree with Mr.
Schwab that the day Of the self-made
man is not over. II Will be a sad day
for this country when there is no
working. ambitious and capable young
man 10 get ahead, to make fame and
fortune for himself. The opportunities
may not be as numerous, the COMPETE
ton may be keener, but. in the mex
orable law of nature, the fit will find
the top and the unfit will struggle
along at the bottom.
Mr.. Schwab viii not deny that a col
iege education is of immense value TO
any young man. The educated man
makes a better digger of bitches than
the uneducated, and, besides, the edu-
Gated man is not nearly as apt TO con-
tinue in the ditch digging line as the
man who has no education. MI.
Schwab's plea for social equality is
sound enough. Education does not
make a gentleman out of a beast, any
more than manual toll makes a beast
out Of a gentleman.
