Some Advantage in Being Dead.

Colonel Henry Watterson tells of the
aston1shment and chagrin with which
certain well known citizen of Louisville.
named Jenkins. read q long obituary of
himself printed in a morning paper of
that city. He at once proceeded to the
editorial office of the paper. and. after
much difficulty, succeeded in obtaining
audience of the busy city editor. Lay
ing a copy of the paper before him, he
observed in q mild, almost humble way,
that he had come to see If the city
editor could tell him anything about
it,
With a snort of Impotence, the busy
editor grasped the paper and hastily read
the article. 1T appears to be an obitu-
airy Of one Jenkins he growled. What
is there to tell about it2 What's the
matter with you, anyhow
'-Oh, nothing especially" responded the
mild jenkins, only 1 thought Id like
to know how the obituary came to be
printed-that's ALL"

tor. in irritated tones; why the man
died, of course. My paper doesn't print
obituary notices of living men,
Perhaps not, as rule" gently re-
piled the visitor. but, in this case, 1

Thereupon the city editor began pro-

A GOOD SUGGESTION.

The suggestion of the Ladies' Liter
airy club that the board Of education
elect Mrs. William c. Jennings to fill
the vacancy on the board from the
Fourth precinct, is a good one and it is
hoped Mr.. Thomas, who is to name his
colleague. will follow the suggestion.
Mrs. Jennings has had the training.
education and practical experience to
qualify her for intimate knowledge of
school needs. Added to these, she has
executive capacity, energy and sound
judgment. Apart from her personal
fitness for the position, her election
would give the women of the city rep
resentation on the board for the first
time in its history. and would be ac-
cepted by them as a recognition of
their right to have a voice on the man
agement of the schools to which they
are entitled.
It goes without saying that a woman
OF Mrs. Jennings experience would be
of value to the board in a practical
way. On some subjects she would be
better qualified to express an expert
opinion than any man could; and on
any subject her view would be entitled
to weight as an educator.

MRIT OF HAREAs CORPUS.

The legal battle being waged In the
Idaho courts for the liberation of the
accused miners union officials on writs
of "habeas corpus" has moved a sub
scriber of The Herald to inquire into
the meaning, history and origin of the
writ.
The history Of the writ dates first
from the time the Magma Charta was
wrested from King John at Runny-
mede. The Magma Charta contained a
provision that no free man could be
held in prison, save on a charge or
conviction Of crime or for debt, and
every prisoner on a criminal charge
could demand as a right from the court
Of the kings bench the issuance of d
writ of ''habeas corpus" which bound
his jaileT to produce in court both the
prisoner and the warrant upon which
he was arrested, so that the court
might inquire whether he was impris-
oned according to law.
Later, however. English courts and
rulers began to ignore the rights guar
anteed by the writ. and men were i'm
prisOned without due process of law
and without redress. During the strug-
gle between King Charles II and the
parliamentary party, after long agita-
ton, a new habeas corpus act was
passed in 1879 which is part of the law
of England today, and which is a guar
antee Of liberty to every English sub
ject.
This new act freed the old provision
Of the Magma Charta from all Difficult
ties and technicalities. Every prisoner
committed for any crime save treason
or felony was declared entitled to his
writ, even in the vacations of the
courts, and heavy penalties were pro-
vided for judges and jailers who re-
fused him the right. Every person
committed for treason or felony was
entitled TO be released on bail. unless
indicted at the next session of "gaoI
delivery" after his commitment, and to
be discharged if not indicted at the
session which followed.
The constitution Of the United States
preserved to the American people the
right of the writ The constitution
says:
THE privilege of the writ Of habeas
corpus shall not be suspended unless
when in cases Of rebellion or invasion
the public safety may require"
So, under the English law and the
American constitution. every English
speaking subject or citizen who may
be arrested or imprisoned for an offense
is entitled forthwith to have the legal
ity of his arrest inquired into by court
Of competent jurisdiction, unless such
arrest occurs Gin cases of rebellion and
Invasion"
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1906-03-12

globe today; and while the German
system is fnfexible and could not be
used in America without modification
it is based on sound principles well
worth consideration. In technical ed
ucation, particularly, the Germans
are making faster progress than any
nation in the world; and their technical
skill and thoroughness is the founda-
ton of the empires greatness today.
There is no reason why salt Lake
should not strike out on new lines for
itself in public school methods and
adapt its system to its environment
and the peculiar needs of the region
surrounding the city. For one thing,
it should aim at the preparation Of pu-
pills for the university technical schools,
for the mining school which will be
one of the greatest in the country with
in a decade. Boys should be trained
with a view to the opportunities which
will await them right here on gradu-
alton; for the railroad service, which
will demand thousands of capable men:
for mining, and smelling, for mechan-
ical and civil engineering, as we'll as for
the law and medicine.
That is to say. the public school system
ought to be adapted to the conditions
as they exist 'here-and not as they
may exist theoretically in New York or
Chicago or Boston. We believe there
is a great opportunity in this direction
for the educators Of Utah and its cities:
and we believe they would find an en-
lightened public sentiment behind them
in any effort they might make to revo-
lutionize their present methods along
the line suggested.

A CURE FOR DEBILITY
Or. Williams Pink Pills a Reliable
Remedy for the Weak, AIIins
and 6ioooiess.

When the body is weak and the blood
thin it is sometimes difficult to find the
cause unless a wasting illness has pre-
coded, or the sufferer happens to be q
girl on the verge of womanhood.
Obscure influences, something un-
healthfui in ones surroundings or work,
may lead to a slow impoverishment OF
the blood and an enfeeblement of the
whole body. When serious stage has
been reached there seems to be nothing
that Will for it.
Mr.. G. E Legg, of Upton, w Va,
has found successful method of treat
ing weakness and bloodleSsness. He
says:
al used DIR. Williams Pink Pills for
weakness caused by lingering malarial
fever that began in the spring of 1895.
The worst effects of this were indiges-
ton and a bad state of my blood. Twas
an8mic, as the doctors say. People
generally would say that I didn't have
blood enough, or that l didn't have the
right kind Of blood mine was too thin.
My kidneys and liver were out of order
was badly annoyed by sour risings
from my stomach. There was a good
deal of pain, too, in my back and under
my right shoulder blade"
How long did these troubles last?"
"For over two years. For four
months of that time I was under the
care of physician, but his medicine did
me no good. Meanwhile l learned OF
the cures that had been wrought by DR..
Williams Pink Pills"
"You owe your cure to these pills ?"
"I certainly do, and also know that
they are helping others to whom have
recommended them. They have real
merit and 1 know of nothing that would
take their place"

DR.. William Osler is always exceeding
iy precise in his directions to patients
according to the WOman's Home Com
paniOn. He relates an experience which
a brother practitioner once had which
illustrates the dangers of lack of preci-
sion.
A young man one day visited this
doctor and described a common maIady
that had befallen him.
THE thing for you to do the physi-
clan said, ''is to drink hot water an hour
before breakfast every morning..
The patient took his leave and in a
week returned

stefan asked.

was the reply.

man. but I couldn't keep it up more'n
ten minutes at a stretch

WHY HE SHUT HIS EYES.

"
There was a canny Scotchman," said
William A Glasgow, jr., addressing the
banquet at the Bellevue tratford on
Tuesday evening, who always shut his
eyes tight when he took his drink of
Scotch whisky Some one Ventured one
day to ask him why this was, and he re-
piled: ''Weel, am feared to TAX my dram

the liquor be diluted" The American
ScOtchman fought with both Grant and
Lee during the civil war. The only divis-

A Case for the Humane Society.
(Harper's Weekly.

A Philadelphia real estate broker
purchased an automobile last summer,
and proceeded industriously to famiI-
iarize himself with its mechanical con-
structiOn.
After a weeks coaching under the
guidance of chauffeur, the broker de-
teTmined one evening to take a spin
into the country without his tutor. He
decided to ride slowly. And to insure
against being helplessly stalled on a
lonely road. he fastened the family
horse to the rear Of the auto, so that
ii could tow the machine home in case
of a breakdown.
The auto chucked along gently, when
of a sudden the horse swayed and was
dragged to earth.
Poor horse!" muttered the broker.

car: cts utterly exhausted"
Exhausted" snorted a passing
farmer. as he shifted the oily atmOs-
phere; you mean asphyxiated.'
