MYSTERY OF THE DESERT.

BY WILLIAM MCCLURE GOTWALDT.
INSPIRED by the painting by H. L. A.
Culmer.)
Flat stale. Improbable" is
The past-denuded bare and plane
What gusts OF passion wore away the
soil
Where flowers uplifted and where verdi
ure waved.
What storms, erosive, bore upon their
The homes. Ambition built. where Fancy
dwelt.
These monoliths arise from out the drear
Dead desolation-past abode of all
The mind creates and recreates in blush
OF youth.
Now passes all save memory
And recollection brings dull deep pain
While gazing at the earth beneath ones
But look upon the skies! What see We
there?
Remove the scales. Stand man-like in the
glow
OF that beyond. above.
The mystery
OF desert waste and waste of heart alike
Comes clear and sunlit Knowledge as we
Erosions benedictions on the far
Off plain,
There smiling fields outspread
The gift of leveed mountains.
Thus so pass
The mysteries of our. lives. but to become
The open secrets of another age.
And what we lose is boon TO those who
come.

Felt Reraorse for Wasted Life.

Billy hustled into a drug store on a
wet night not more than month ago for
his usual amount of cocaine and NOR
phine. He asked for a hot matted milk
and his shrill voice trembled As he sat
bumped over on the stool at the soda
water fountain Billy said.
This is hard world to live in. A
mans got 80 per cent the best of it when
he's dead
BILLY. you look almost the part of a
dead man. said bystander.
That's right" Billy answered You
know the other morning l had a razor
in my hand and looked into q piece of
a broken mirror. j put the blade to my
throat but then stopped TO think
You. had cold feet Billy" queried a
mot much" be replied 'This is a
cruel world TO live in But while you
are here why. not battle the d. thing
out. Life amt very long after ali, and
Billy slipped from his stool. He shut
fled over to the door and looked out into
the cold and wet. He stopped and raised
the two boxes he had in his hand to
his cane and his body gradually dropped
and dropped until his balance became
uncertain. Then, as from startled.
dream, he raised up, his eyes glistening.
He shook his boxes close to his ear
again and pushed out the door into the
wet.
Billy got a cold that night which set
tied on his lungs. He grew weaker and
he went to sleep in the doorways and
had to be led by another dope fiend"
TO the drug store to get his matted milk
and drugs.
Jail His Last Home.
He was in this condition when Police
Officer Nick GulbranSen picked him up
on Second South and Main streets. He
was loaded into the patrol wagon and
taken to jail He was sentenced to
thirty days and DR.. Samuel G. Paul was
attending him. Billy was allowed some
dope" put only enough TO keep him
alive. From head to foot he was a mass
of liberated sores. Inflamed and swollen
these sores pulsated with pain and his
system cried for dope" Then ne lay in
his cell almost unconscious His mind was
dead and his sores stopped tantaiiZing
him. He had convulsion yesterday aft-
ernoon and it was known death was near
He rallied afterward, asking for matted
milk and in his dying moments cried for
dope.
His wasted body was taken to O'Don-
relfs undertaking parlors and will be pre-
pared for burial. The services will be held
today.

DR.. coNDoN's VIEWS.
He Favors Two Schools With One
Board and One President.

Dr. A. s. Condor of Ogden, who dis
sents in part from the views expressed
in both other reports, says in part,
'First-To dismantie the Agricultural
College at Logan and bring It to Salt
Lake City would compel change of
the state constitution. This will require
more than two years of time, which
alone is an important factor in a uues-
ton that demands immediate action but
this may be forestalled by the governor
converting the legislature at once In
either case several thousand dollars will
be spent futilely. in fact. wasted, be-
cause it will go for undoing something
instead of building up something. IN any
event the vote to amend the constitu-
ton may not carry at all. and we will
find ourselves no better off than we are
now, and, moreover. the campaign that
will ensue will not end at the polls.
There is not child living today that
may even hope to see the end and eff
feet of it.
'Second-The United States in the en-
abling act granted 100000 acres of land
and $4,000 cash annually TO establish and
maintain the Agricultural College of Utah.

Can't Get Land Here.


'Third-ft is not practicable to procure
adequate and suitable acreage for expert
mental and other purposes in close prox-
unity to the State University, which is
practically in the heart of a large city;
the land in sufficient quantities is not

or less remote from the students col
lege home and the scene of his studies,
and this alone would be a serious han
dicap 10 all connected with the institu-
ton.
'As to the report of the minority
have to say that | have not been asked
to share the confidence of the gentle
men who viii prepare il, but / suppose
that they will maintain that 1t remain
where il now is, with some modifica-
tions of the curriculum and possibly of
some other matters of minor Importance.
But this will not cure the conditions: ii
will only act as placebo for the present
emergency, and year after year there will
be periodical recrudescence of the trou-
bic, which is now we'll nigh intolerable.
AS for me, | can see but one way out
of the complex situation, and there must
be found way because the Agricultural
college and the university should cease to
be what they now are. namely, rival in
situations. injuring each other to the det-
rinent of both, a break on the car of
educational progress. a scandal TO the
state and a humiliation to the friends
and patrons of the respective colleges.
Let the College Stay.
Both of these should be united in one
corporate body with one president ana
one board of regents in short both
should be upnder one management.
THE Agricultural college should re-
main where it is. at Logan. as fixed by
the state constitution. and the University
of Utah at Salt Lake City where it was
also fixed by the state constitution.
There should be a distinct corps of
professors for each institution. and they
should be selected and employed and their
salaries established by the hoard of re-
gents.
Whenever there shall arise any cues
ton as to. what particular subject or
branch of learning should be taught in
the one or the other institution, the board
of regents should settle the question as
to where the same shall be taught, and
their decision should be final
THE board of regents should consist of
a member from each of the judicial dis
tricts except the Salt Lake district which,
because of its Importance. when COM
pared to others should have two The
governor should be ex officiO president of
the board it and should be appointed by
the governor in the usual way. The men,
bers of the board should be divided as
nearly as possible equally between the
two Dolitical parties. -

told about the wonderful resources OF

which had been stolen. He had a cache
OF diamonds some years ago and since
then Billy has never wanted for dope"
During the last five years his slavery to
drugs had been pitiful. From hop" he
went to cocaine and Used the needle con-
tsnually. Opium had no effect and he
craved something stronger. The effects
of cocaine died out too fast to suit him,
so he added morphine to his habit. For
three years he used about sixty grains of
cocaine and morphine In day. His arms
were swollen and covered with yawning
sores to which he fed dope" The use CT
the drugs raralyzed his spinal cord and
his back became weak He was unable to
stay at his home and he wandered about.
Less than two years ago his mother died
She was buried here. 1t is said that his

while and ne did not know of her death

Duplication Not an Evil.

The report asserts that duplication
" hich cannot be avoided and that is most
expensive is duplication of course rather
than of subject. and relates to the re-
spective fields that should be. occupied by
th1ase two institutions.
The report challenges an argument made
by PRESIDENT KingSbury to the effect that
the saving by consolidation would be $50
42l per annum. 1t asserts that the entire
salary list of the Agricultural college is
less than the amount President Kings
bury says would be saved. The report de-
clares that it is absurd to contend that
consolidation Under any circumstances
would save more than the present cost
of maintaining the Agricultural college.
II is also aveEred that the saving on
equipment of TIE two institutions would
be merely nominal; that all necessary
equipment on the two institutions that
will be needed for a number of years is
now on hand, and that the sale of excess
equipment. in the event of consolidation,
would be merely nominal

Now, if it's identity as an agricultural
college be in the least disturbed. if the
college be DETECTED from its specific pur-
pose and it becomes an appendix to an
other institution of whatsoever charac-
ter, it follows that the land and the an
nuity may be forfeited. but not to the

are now limited only to these who took
them up before the law was passed. In
view of these facts it is asserted, that
both the university and he college are
strictly within the provisions of the law
The report declares that careful eXamind-
ton shows that whatever the distinctive
courses in the two Institutions, there is
an unavoidable duplication of a large por-

Glasses Are Too Large.

Returning to duplication of courses of
| study the report asserts that the theory
of saving by. consolidation is based on the
| erroneous theory that all the work rep
resented by duplication could be handled
| in a combined institution without add-
| tional assistance. AS a matter of fact,
| 1t is asserted, most of the classes repre-
sented by duplication are now of such
| size that they could not be handled by a
| force of teachers such is now required by
| single institution.
The dissenters assert that the greatest
possible saving from abolishfng duplica-
| tion. in view of the present size of the
classes, would be only s7,1S3 per annum.
Enormous Loss to State.
Taking up the abandonment of the pres
ent college site the report AYERS that such
a policy would involve tremendous
financial loss to the state. 1t would work
a forfeiture, it is commended, of approx
imatey $4,000 worth of property at Lo-
gan, and that the cost for new buildings
at the university would be at least s125, 900.
The report asserts that in other states
where cons olidation has been tried it has
proven unsatisfactory and that in a ma
jority of states separate institutions are
maintained
Their Recommendation.
The signers of the report make the fol-
lowing recommendations:
First, prescribe the field to be occu-
pied by each institution, limiting the dis
tinctive work of each institution to GER
tain departments so as to prevent dupli-
cation as much as possible.
Second, determine the proportion of
state revenues that can consistently be
devoted to higher education.
Third, determine the proportion of the
amount available for higher education
that each institution is entitled to.
Fourth, make a statutory levy per-
manently appropriating in the form of
mill tax TO cover appropriation for main
tenance, buildings and all purposes what
soever.
Further we favor the elimination of
the preparatory work of the University
of Utah in. order that the university may
be placed on a purely college basis.
Located by Constitution. =
Finally, article 10, section 4, of the.
constitution of the state of Utah provides
the location and establishing by existing
laws of the University of Utah and the
Agricultural college, are hereby con-
firmed, and all the rights immunities
franchises and endoWments heretofore
granted or conferred are hereby perpet-
uated unto said university and Agricul-
tural college respectively
In conclusion the report says:
I'm our opinion. taking into consdera-
and that the question is not one of first
impressions and that conditions are not
the same as though the question could be
considered was the. union of two proposed
schools, no such emergency exists at this
