MHERE THE BLAME LIES.

Sunday afternoon at the Salt Palace
an aerCnaut made a balloon ascension
that was considered so dangerous that
considerable advertising space was de-
voted to it in order to attract the pub
lie. For it is we'll known fact that
the public flocks to see any exhibition
that is peculiarly hazardous In past
days it was considered a sufficiently at
tractive feat for an aeronaut to go up
in balloon, cut an ordinary parachute
loose and so descend to the earth. Peo-
pie demand more than that these times.
Herald reporter said that the performer
lis concealed in a large cannon at
tached TO the parachute of the balloon,
and when the balloon reaches a height
of 900 to 1000 feet. the parachute is cut
loose. This parachute opens and the
spectators are thrilled to see the per-
former drop from the mouth of the
cannon. A few seconds after the per-
former drops from the cannon a second
parachute opens and he floats safely. TO
the ground. while the first parachute
bearing the cannon is still in the air"
Sunday the performer did not, as the
schedule provided. float safely to the
ground. He made a miscalculation,
with the result that he was so terribly
injured that he died a few hours later.
So another life was sacrificed to the
publics desire TO see a fellow human
being undergo an awful risk. The Her
aid honestly believes that if two men
should agree to clothe themselves in
breechclouts and fight with keen broad
swords until one or both fell dead, if
the officers of the law should permit
it. and if the event could be widely ad-
vertised, there would not be an arena
in this part of the country big enough
to hold the crowd that would want to
see the battle
Centuries upon centuries ago the
beauty and the chivalry of Rome was
wont TO assemble in the Coliseum that
now lies in ruins. For entertainment
various bloody numbers were provided
Christians were thrown to tigers and
other wild beasts, gladiators fought
with one another until the sands of the
amphitheatre were red with blood. bulls
were matched with lions, naked and
unarmed men with panthers And the
snectacle had to be more than or
dinarily sanguinary before the bored
nonulace became interested.

the people as eminentIy sound. The

no means apparent. Notwithstanding
the fact that a number of first-class
men signed a petition asking the gov

Much fairer it will be to all con-

Another point is that consolidation
will be more or less an issue in the COM
ing campaign. Those who favor the

that favor it, and vice versa. The next
legislature will have plenty of time.
There is no senatorial election TO dis

items. And then the people will have
a chance TO say for themselves exactly
what they want done.

INCOMPATIBLE MOUNTAIN.

This ever delightful mountain canyon
is fast assuming place with the finest
and most exclusive country home PARIS
of the west. Former campers who werfa
familiar with the wildwood beauty and
charm of the "Old Armchair" when ii
was first opened in 1900. are now
amazed to see comfortable country
homes costing from $500 TO s., 900 each
all along thu driveway from Hazel Dell
to Royal Park and Lotosdale.
Each house is surrounded by it's OWN
private park and grounds, standing we'll
away from and above the smooth. even
ly graded drive, and only partially
glimpsed through dense green bowers
of aspen, maple, birch and pine. On the
cool, spacious VerandaS and fiowery
terraces are hammocks and rustic rock
ers, from whose comfortable depths one
may contentedly read or jest with
pleasant friends, the happy hours away,
or one may dreamily watch the ever
changing play of sunshine and shade in
and out of the canyons opposite or on
the blue hills of Parley's, Red Butte
and City Creek, far away.
From the deeply hidden or sparkling
brook wells up the laughing splash of
falling water, while shy wild birds in
the Verdant foliage overhead sing
sweetly the woodland songs that cities
never hear.
These delightful places usually have
their own, or mutual, piped water sys-
TENS and stables. Bath rooms, cOnVe-
nient kitchens, cool, open-screen dining
rooms and wide verandas are cOnsid-
cred most certainly essential.
Smooth, well made pathtrails give
easy access to the very heart of the
deep forest, and farther on to the crests
of Pine Top and Dragons Head Peaks,
on the very crest of the Wasatch range.
All lots are one-half acre or larger.

A DiscoURAGINe CONDITION.

! Reports received by the state super
! intendent of education, Mr.. Nelson
| show that out of 7S1 applicants for po-
/ sitions as teachers in the schools OF
Utah only $50, or practically one-third
succeeded in passing the required ex-
animation with an average sufficiently
high TO entitle them to certificates. This
fact is in itself decidedly discouraging
but the disappointment is accentuated
when 1t is stated that a majority of the
applicants failed in the simple tests in
spelling. reading and pedagogy. II
would be interesting to know where
these applicants acquired their educa-
ton and on what they based their
theory that they are competent to in
struct the children of the state.
Spelling is not hard science. In the
old days it was drilled into the heads
of the children until they could not
fail to know it. And reading, the first
Of the three Rs" was similarly insist
ed upon. Pedagogy is simply the science
Of teaching. and surely anybody of
averag, intelligence should be able to
give some sensible ideas regarding its
application in the school room. The
tests for teaching. in all branches. are
not hard. The average high school
graduate should be able TO meet them
successfully, Why. then, did two
thirds of the recent applicants fail?
The answer, perhaps. is that people
who cannot do anything else think they
would be successful as teachers. 1t was
once thought that failures in other
lines would surely succeed as newspa-
per men, but that, we believe. is an ex-
ploded notion. To be able to teach sue
cessfully requires special training. just
as it is necessary to have special train
ing to become a successful newspaper
man. or to be successful in any line
of human endeavor in these days of
highly specialized work. There may
have been a time when the individual
who could maintain a reasonable de-
gree of discipline and at the same time
impart some knowledge TO children
could get a place as a teacher.
That day, if there ever was such a
day. has long since passed. The mod
ern public demands superior ability in
its teachers. The work is far different
and, speaking generally, far better
than it was Children learn more rap
idly and more thoroughly than they
once did, and the improved system of
teaching is responsible for it. While
it seems a pity that nearly 500 out of
the 731 entrants in the recent examina-
ton failed, it is better for them to go
down, TO suffer the appointment,
than TO fetter and hamper the schools
with incompetents.
The rejected ones have at least the
consolation OF knowing that in some
other line of work they may be able to
earn a living. The sooner they turn to
it the better off they will be.

ardous feats for our entertainment? In
all justice it must be said that those
who take the risks are less blameable
than those who pay to see the risks
taken. Such performances cannot be
stopped by law as long as public senti-
ment favors them. The way to stop
them and the only way, is TO change
public sentiment.

Man At the Depot and

that he will in a day or two rear

beats, and would follow to the letter
all Instructions from the board of fire
and police commissioners.
Chief of Police James Collins is In
very delicate situation, and his ma
ny friends will watch his work with
interest. Chief Collins was elected
to the Office by a majority vote in
the board of commissioners and is
expected to follow the inclinatiOns of
the majority of the board. He was
absent from the city when the board
met and decided to take off three Of
ficers and two detectives. and was not
acquainted with what was expected
of him. He stated in an interview
that he intended to place the men TO
the best advantage for the public's
welfare and from experience had
learned that the depot and Broad
way beats needed all the policemen
he could put on them. He has chan
ged his mind, clearly, for he states
that he would have to follow the or
ders of the board which are manda-
tory being the governing body and
he a subordinate.

tions issued by the commissioners"

Chief Collins stated that he would
make the change in day or two,but
there promises to be more to come

THE COVERED LOSSES.
Insurance At Risk Is Estimated At
$3.50, 900, 900.

Chicago, ell, April 20.-Fire in
surance companies had about $780,
600, 900 at risk in the city of San
Francisco. the estimate being based
on the premiums, received In 1905.
Fer years the Pacific coast has been
the one section of the country which
could be depended upon for steady
profit year in and year out. San
Francisco has been the best profit
producer of the coast. Its loss ratio
for a period of years has been the
lowest being less than 20 per cent of
any city in the country, despite the
unusual proportion OF frame construo
ton. AS result of this unusually ia
vorable experience rates were low in
that city, and all the fire insurance
companies wrote very literally.
Several foreign companies that are
never heard of in the east are large
writer's on the Pacific coast. The

Will Resell Property.

Mr.. Milton Sanchez, the Paducah

valuable piece of property in Cairo,
stated last night that he probably
would not engage in the banking
business, as contemplated, but would
sell the property, having received
several good offers. He believes he
can make $500 in reselling, and stat
ed he bought the property on specu-
lation principally, but did have the
idea of establishing a savings bank.
