to the loser such letters and other per-
sonal property as may be found on the

to the end that the relatives of the
dead may have knowledge of their
fate. The victor must also provide for
the burial or cremation of the dead.
In the next chapter is the hospital corps
agreement. Members of this corps are
specifically exempted from attack or
capture. They may carry arms and
may maintain pickets about field hos
pitfalls, but their immunity ceases if they
perform any act prejudicial to the
enemy.
They may bear arms to prevent at
tacks and for that purpose only. The
following chapter provides protection
for hospital and medical supplies and
obligates the signatory powers to pass
statutes to prevent the use of the Red
Cross flag for commercial purposes. In
terms and regulations of the conven-
ton the warning nations must fight the
question out among themselves, as no
arbitration, except in times of peace, is
to be permitted.
1t is worthy of note that delegates
from both Russian and Japan were
present at the Geneva meeting and

pUFFlANs ON TRAINS.

Long time dweIlers in the west are
fond of talking about the tender defer
ance, the courteous regard with which
western men treat women. Within the
memory of men who cannot yet be
called old a woman could go through
the toughest mining camp without
meeting the slightest discourtesy and
without fearing discOurtesy. For her
men would step from the sidewalk into
the mud, for her they would give up
their beds and spread their blankets
under the stars, for her they would
brave the greatest dangers and dis
comforts. They would do these things
not as martyrs, but as men upon whom
favors were being conferred.
Have you, who are so proud or west
ern manhood, ridden from Saltair to
salt Lake on an evening train recent
w? II you have it will be long time
before you can remember the incident
with anything but the deepest disgust.
You will have seen young ruffians

cars; you will have seen them almost
tear the dresses off of women; you will
have seen them comfortably seated
while at their elbows stood women with
babies in their arms; you will have
seen these beasts utterly oblivious to
everything save their own personal
comfort.
Splendid example for the tourist who
comes here looking for specimens OF
chivalrous manhood. isn't it? He goes
away with a fine notion of Salt Lake
men, doesn't he? He is apt to say lot
of nice things about the. town and Its
people after he has seen his wife stand
while a sturdy, sweaty, berry little
beast occupied a comfortable seat. Yes,
that tourist will want TO go straight
home, get a large sum of money and
bring it to Salt Lake for Investment.
Indeed, he is apt to do that as he is to
jump over the tabernacle.
1t is too much to hope that the ruff
fans will read these lines. Men of
their type, when they know how to rad
at all. prefer something in the line of
a 10-cent novel or a lurid detective
story. Our hope is that the Saltair
management vii! be stirred TO lotion.
Let it, if only for a few nights, station
a strong deputy sheriff on every car to
observe the actions Of the seat hogs
and compel them to give up their seats
TO women and to old men. II is per-
haps true that every passenger who
can get a seat is entitled to it, no mat
ter who is standing or how many, but
it is also true that Saltair patrons
would feel very much more kindly to-
ward the resort if more attention % the
comfort of their women were paid. And
1t is not possible to believe that young
ruffian who had been so ill-bred as To
sit while a tired woman was standing
would care to advertise the fact my
where.
Those who have not in them prin-
ciples of decency should be taught de-
cency. If necessary decency should be
thumped into them. A few examples
by the Saltair management would as
suredly have most salutary effect

Probably the newest show at Dream
land is the shortest that ever was
called drama and the most profitable
in proportion TO its brevity "Pha-
raoh's Daughter" is a variant of an
old illusion, but it gets the money. A
sculptured image Of beautiful girl in
classic draperies is shown in half re-
lief against a panel over an altar
Slowly and mystically she comes to
life in enhanced loveliness. Her face
and arms change from white to deli
cate pink her wrapipngs soften from
marble to fabric, animation dispels the
stony repose of her features and she
steps forth as exquisite creature as
the imagination of an artist could con-
jure up. She has been vivified by a de-
sire to direct Pharaoh's daughter to
the discovery of the infant Moses in
the bulrushes. and having done that
service she reverses the phenomena
and returns to statuary.
The ways in which this simple illus
ion is worked up into an impressive
show are interesting. The facade of the

DIPLOMACY AND TRADE

The participation of the United States in an African diplomatic affair in which the other participants are the powers of Europe and the receipt of news as to the attitude of our country in the matter from London indicates to what extent this country is becom- ing a worlds power. The worst dan ger from-such a course is that we may become tangled up so with the affairs of the old world that we will forfeit for the defense of the Monroe doctrine the moral strength which goe5 with fair play and good faith. The Monroe doc Urine will never be so strong with bat tleships and bayoaets to back it up as 1t has been with the declared intention Of this country to refrain from mixing up iu the affairs of the old world and in return for that the inststane that the old world shall shiany on it's own side, too.
 It might be said that the United States mus: look for a market for it's surplus and that is true, but a better and more stable market can be secured by fair dealing and reciprocal trade re- Iatious with other countries than can be hunted to earth by the diplomacy of the state department and the war dogs Of the navy. A customer secured of his own free will because We have made it profitable for him to trade with us is a far better customer than one secured at the point of a gun and he is likely to be more permanent. It is all right for the executive department to be vigilant in securing advantages for its country's producers. but it should not permit its zeal iu that direction to carry us too far from the paths of right or to make congress forget that we are looking to it to remove the unnatural barriers that are coufnirg the narrow and out grown limits that now prevail.

WHAT WE OWE TO INSECTS.
They Arc Of the Greatest Benefit ia
Growing Flowers.

Prof. Darwin said that If it had not
been for insects we should never have
had any more imposing or attractive
flowers than those of the elm, the hop
and the nettle. Lord Avebury COM
pares the work Of the insect to that Of
the florist. He considers that just as
the florist has by selection produced
the elegant blossoms OF the garden, so
the insects, by selecting the largest
and brightest blossoms for fertiliza-
ton, have produced the gay flowers Of
the field. Prof. Plateau, of Ghent, has
carried out series of remarkable ex-
periments on the ways of insects visit
Ing flowers. He considers that they
are guided by. scent rather than by
color, and In the connection he is at
variance with certain British natural
fists. Whatever may be the attraction
In flowers to insects-as yet, it ap-
pears undef1ned-it is certain that the
latter visit freely all blossoms alike,
making no distinction between the
large, bright -colored ones and the less
conspicuous blossoms like those of the
currants, the lime, the planetree. the
nettle and the willow.
