OF right away. You know that you
lost interest at once in everything ex-
cept the injured member DR.. Van
buslirk didn't. With that broken arm
dangling at his side he went on to see
his patient Not until after the sick
man had been treated, and, it is pleas
ant to note, successfully, did DR.. Van
buskirk go TO a hospital to have his
own injury attended to.
The beauty abOdt this story is that
DR.. Vanbuskirk was right when he
said that any other physician, under
similar circumstances, would have done
exactly as he did. That is. any ply
stefan who is really entitled to the
name would. Doctors are the most self
sacrificing professional men in the
world They take more chances, they
do more work and for less money than
any Of us. Comparatively few doctors

the Tailroader, the restaurant and ho-
tel man, the newspaper worker. the
smelter employee. and the host of others
whose work keeps them employed
when most people are resting or play
ing. But We rarely hear sympathy ex-
pressed for the doctor. No matter how
ne feels, he is on duty twenty-four
hours a day He never sits down to a
meal with the assurance that he will
be permitted to enjoy it in peace: he
never goes to bed with the knowledge
that his rest is not to be disturbed.
All days are alike to the doctor His
work admits of no delay. Holidays and
Sundays, week in and week out. year

In recognition of space, as it appears

THE COPYRIGHT LAW.

n THE North American Review for
L January, Samuel L. Clemens Mark
Twain has an interesting article
Concerning Copyright Mr. Clemens
argues that grave injustice is done
to American authors by the law that
limits the life of copyrights TO forty
two years. He says that the object of
the law-the cheapening of books-is
not attained. Instead Of making books
cheaper, the Jaw merely deprives the
authors and their families of any par
ticipation in the profits from pubIca-
ton and gives them all to the publish
En- BE says:
The, remedy that I would suggest is
TINS: that, during the fOrty-second year
OF the copyright limit. the owner of the
copyright shall be obliged TO issue an edI-
ton OF the book at these following rates
to-W1t: Twenty-Five cents for each 100 go
words. or less. Of lis contents, and keep
year after year indefinitely. And il in
any year he shall fail 10 keep such edition
on sale during space Of three months,
the copyright shall then perish
The remedy seems plausible enough.
As Mr.. Clemens says, later in his ar
ticle, it would more than make cheap
editions possible; it would make them
ipNA@CAS II Ati% Nitt u the copy
right desired to continue it in force.
But, in spite of Mr.. Clemens ingenious
argument that the copyright limit is
monstrous because it deprives the
heirs of an author OF revenue from
the sale of his works, we fail 10 see
that any great amount of harm is done.
The proceeds of the sale of 100 OOO-word
books at twenty-five cents each could
not be large enough to form a consid-
cradle source of revenue. Mr. Glenn
ems says himself the returns would be
very small indeed, but that in this way
the authors other works, protected by
copyright, would be advertised and
sold.
The last argument disposes OF the
first. There are very few men who
write book that live for forty-two
years and then, at the end of that
period, write another that would be
helped by the sale of the first in a
cheap edition. Some harm may have
been done in a few instances by the
copyright limitation. but they are hard
iy numerous enough to warrant an
overturning Of the law. However. we
don't suppose there would be any great
amount of objection to the placing of
Mr.. Clemens remedy on the statute
books.

ARE TEACHERS IMPRACTICAL

To The Salt Lake Herald:
1t is frequently charged that teachers
and ministers are the most impractical Of
people to deal with the every day affairs
OF life. Certainly the sessions of the
state Teachers association now being
held in this city appear to demonstrate
beyond a doubt that the statement Is
true. Such ambitious subjects are dis
Cussed and such Utopian plans presented
That one who heard and did not use any
more sense than that of hearing would in
cline to the belief that these people are
making the earth a better place in which
10 live. But what are the actual condi-
ttonsZ While in one room a man is adj
vocating al sorts of extra requirements
on the teachers part in regard to the
childs physical education. in another
room of the same building people are
sleeping sOundly through learned and
scholarly papers because of a lack Of OK
yRen. In q room containing l. 500 teachers
is there any provision made for a supply
OF air by means Of the heating plant. for
heat is supplied by steam radiators At
the session OF yesterday morning in Bar
raft hall teachers heard the subject Of
school deforTuities and their remedies dis
cussed and systems of physical educa-
ton advocated. in an atmosphere which
rocked with the breath of h.-rnan beings
kept there for two hours. without a win
dow being opened. And when an attempt
was made to oDen one window il was
found that heavy nails had been inserted

OUR METALLIC WEALTH.

THE INCREASE in the gold produce
I ton of the United States in 1901,
as compared with 1903. was. in round
numbers. S1I.OOO 600. The total yield
was $s4, sol 400, to which should be
added SO, 300, 900 from the Klondike re-
gion, the product OF which, though
Canadian. nearly all comes into the
United States. In the light these fig
ures give us it has been we'll said that
nature has solved the money problem
With such a flood Of gold pouring into
the country the necessity for the free
coinage Of silver passes away.
Utah occupied the seventh place
among the states that produced gold.
Ahead of her We're Alaska, Colorado,
California. Montana, Nevada and South
Dakota. But Utah's gain for 1904 was
proportionately heavier than any of the
others. This states increase was 81
900, 000 or a little more than % per cent
better than the 1903 figures. The states
yield in 1903 was So, 100000. and in 1904
$47OO. 900.
The production of silver shows a
loss among the heavier producers, Utah
being included in this list with a fall
ing off of $4,000 ounces. However
only Montana and Colorado are ahead
of Utah in total production, the state
standing third in the list with 10. $780,
coo ounces to her credit. The decrease
is attributed to the fact that several
of our heavy producers Of silver did
comparatively little work in that line
during 1904. Instead of mining and
marketing their output they devoted
time and money to exploration work
and to preparing for this years cam
paign. 1t is predicted with all conf
dence that Utah will largely increase
her silver output this year.
But the great gold production of 1904
is the remarkable feature of the re-
port At the rate the gold output is
now maintaining it Will not be a great
while before the money merchants be-
gin considering plans for the demone-
ti2ation of the present money standard
of the world. They viii be telling US
we have a great deal more gold than
we really need and that we should sub
stitute for it something more precious.
The great difficulty is the finding Of
something that Will answer the pur-
poses of metallic money as admirably
as does gold.

The sToEssEL COURT MARTIAL

THE ANNOUNCEMENT that General
StoesseI is to be cOurtmartialed for
surrendering Port Arthur to the Jap
anese was received in Russia yester-
day with many manifestations OF bit
ter disapprovaI. Similar feelings will
be entertained elsewhere until it is
known that the proceedings will be
merely pro forma- Russia has an an
cient law which requires that every
general who surrenders must be court
martiaIed. This for the purpose OF
ascertaining whether or not he did
everything in his power to avert the
disaster.
No disgrace is necessarily attached
20 the proceeding There is no thought
in high Russian military circles Of
casting the slightest odium upon Gen
era1 Stoessel- 1t is known there, as
could TO prevent Port Arthur from
falling into the hands OF the Jap
anese. He did more. indeed. than
niHety-nine commanders out of hun
dred would have done.
Not until the citadel was strewn with
debris, not until the hospitals were
filed TO overlooking with sick and
wounded, not until his men had been
driven 10 the uttermost limit of their
endurance. did he surrender. The world
is giving StOessel almost as much cred
it for his defense of Port Arthur as
1t is giving the japanese for their
splendid courage IN capturing it. So
the proceedings against General Stoes-
sci can hardly be anything but for
NAL in character. They win be gone
through with merely for the purpose
of living up 10 the letter of the law.
IT would have been better, of course,
II the law had been ignored IN this
instance. But history may be depended

place is secure for all time, regardless
of the courtmartiaI that awaits him
