there were efforts on the part of the

DAY OF DESPOTiSM WANIN0.

II seems to us that. In spite of the
wide dominion of Russia and Great
Britain, the day of world empires has
gone by. Despotisms are III fitted to
bear universal sway. because by their
very nature they provoke rebellion. and
rebellion against despotlsm IL the nee.
cssary result Of the growth of liberty.
Nor are democracies adapted to this
work. for they are the products OF the
free spirit, and they can not, without
fatal consequences to themselves, 20
into the business Of cnsla wing people.
In the old days despotisms could do
this work, but that was before there
was such II thing rs the people. We
are more likely to see some disintegra.
ton rather than further consolidation.
The British empire exists at the pres.
Ont time only by the tolerance of the
people lnhabiting Its various parts
because they believe they are better
of within 1t. The Russian empire
rests almost wholly on force. People
are likely to insist more AMI more on
their right to govern themselves.

THE CHURCH AND the PRESS.

"Thc church survives only rs ira

lawyer. But he is nightly mistaken.
Had he said that the power of the
church has become such that It dom.
mates even the secular newspapers he
would have spoken the exact truth.

The newspaper Is one of the most
matter'of-fact institutions in the
world. Good people are prone to com
plain against it sometimes because it
does not preach more AMI portray
less. They mistake its mission and
misunderstood its conditions. The
newspaper Is n ceaseless series of liv-
ing pictures of the punishnents that
follow crime, of the suicides that fol-
low sins, of the want and despair
that come of appropriateness or unjust
conditions, of the successes that come
of right endeavors, of the joys that
are linked with honest loves, and of

NEW PLACE FOR WOMEN.

According to a special dispatch from
Indianapolis, the Lake Erie & Western
railroad has been experimenting with
women as agents for the smaller sta
tiOns with results so satisfactory that
the idea may be adopted as a policy of
the road. The first woman agent was
appointed at a small station a little
over a year ago. She soon drew the
attention of her sUperiors by the neat
ness of her monthly reports and by
valuable suggestions she offered 10
make the road popular with the people
along the line. Recently the general
officers of the road, who had been ac-
customed to hurry through the smaller
stations, were induced TO stop off to in
spect her station and found it to be the
best kept in the state They learned
that the depot had ceased to be a loaf
ing place, that there had been no row
dyism there since. the woman took
charge, that the floors and benches
were always clean, the stove and win
dows polished and the Office in general
as tidy as a private residence. They
also learned that the passenger bust
ness had been greatly improved, be
cause the woman took more pains to
please the travellers and displayed
greater tact in dealing with them.
1t is said the road now has a number
of other women in charge of other small
offices, the Improvement in each case
being so marked as to be noticeable

and created him price of Pontecorvo in

| oeAN's CELEBRATION.

Those who are unable TO attend the
festivities in Logan this week viii en-
deavor to catch a measure of the spirit
Of the occasion by closely following re
ports of the celebration which has come
TO be the great gala event for north
ern Utah. The annual pilgrimage of
the Commercial Travellers to Logan IS
not only a unique form of excursion.
but 1t is something so altogether
wholesome and refreshing that the peo-
pie Of the entire state have come TO
feel the warmest interest in It. There is
no Interior purpose in this celebration.
The one object is to bid carking care
begone for q day or so and Cache coun-
~, which has never failed to play its
part in current history at all seasons,
forget politics, agricultural colleges.
etc. and with a joyous abandon that
delights all Utah, grave seigneur,
bearded sage, stately dame, comeIy
lass, youth and age cut loose to make
their visitors happy. It is needless to
remark that the Commercial travellers
viii enjoy their annual trip TO Logan.
The average member of that guild is
not an apostle Of sorrow and the mo-
ments Of reflection that come to the
Utah travelling men are chiefly devoted
TO looking forward to and looking back
ward upon the Logan excursions.
There is something inspiring in the
spectacle of hands hardened by contact
with the hoe Joined to hands that have
never faltered IN making an expense
account seem plausible; in hearing
voices that have grown harsh through
long calling of the recalcitrant kind to
repentance, blending in sweet harmony
with voices grown tender through long
caJoleTy of the reluctant merchant It
bespeaks a mutual regard that is most
impressive, and makes for ultimate
peace on earth. But the striking fea-
ture Of the Logan celebration is that all
have laid aside their burdens for a
brief period Of healthy, honest enjoy
ment and in the contamination of this
purpose visitors and hosts have the
best wishes of the rest of the state.

JAPANESE SURGERY.

Sir Frederick Treves. the eminent

was attached 10 the staff of the royal
household, but has now retired, is
quoted as paying high tribute TO the
japanese surgeons. 4 am confident
that we shall find in Japan. not many
years hence, one Of the most remark

ever seen" he says. The japanese
have infinite patience OF tenderness
a tenderer and more sympathetic people

And then comes one very impor-
tant factor in the making Of d surgeon
the japanese have no nervous sys-
tenn Nerves. as we know it, is an IN
transferable term in japanese. They
are initiative. they are exquisitely-
even pedantically-clean; nothing can
excel their delicacy of touch; and they
have a curious reverence for ritual.
which is important in the making OF a
surgeon. Nothing in Japan astonishei
US more than the manner in which the
native practitioners have absorbed into
their own science the medicine and
surgery of this side Of the world Take
only one branch-medicaI equipment IN
time Of war Many problems which
have been the terToTs Of European
armies the Japanese have solved. Eu-
rOpean armies enter upon a war with
many determinations, one IS to have 10

japanese are quite content with per-
cent Of sick, and they have achieved

of the world may be able to initiate it,
