A Better Road.

The road between Lehi and
Am. Fork is in bad shape on ac-
count of numerous holes, or small
hollows. These could easily be
filed by taking material from the
high places on the road or by
hauling gravel. A little effectoal
work would make OF this road
one of the best public highways
in the state, and perhaps there is
no other road that would give
greater benefits. At of all hours
of the day or night there is a
constant line Of travel in either
direction, some of which is local,
between the two cities, while
much Of it comes from other parts
OF the state.
The saving to vehicles would
in a short time amount to more
than the cost of road repair, be-
sides we should have the pleas
ure and satisfaction of driving
over a smooth hard surface with.
out danger of accident.
Whether people freight, drive
to mill, take an evenings drive
in an easy buggy, or just ride I

keen interest that is being mani
fest in the observance of Decora-
tion Day. The attention paid to
semetaries last week far surpassed
anything Of previous record
The ever growing cities OF the
dead were visited by thousands
of the living who had come with
floral offerings to pay tribute to
the memory of loved ones.
The custom of grave decoration
is fast becoming general. And
what does it all mean? The dead
are certainly not benefited by
such adornments as flowers or
other symbols which the living
may provide. Their reward is
determined without regard to
outward show. 1t makes little
difference to them whether costly
monuments mark the burial
ground or the solemn spot be un-
known to any living soul. He
whose right it is to judge will
give to each that which he
merited by the inner life, so often
unknown to even the closest
associates here.
Why then should the custom OF
identifying burial grounds be
encouraged? We answer for
the effect upon the living

cere will find in the custom a re-
left in working out, symbolically,
the unselfish motives OF the
heart. The thought of future
meeting is encouraged and
strengthened by every token of
love and thus the temporary
separation is made easier to
bear.
The custom has in it that
which impels hope and refnes
the feeling. A hope that will
add to the permanent happiness
of individuals and inspire greater
respect for the rights of one an
other. A feeling of humbleness,
when thoughts Of mans inferior
ity to the great laws of life and
death are brought forcibly to
mind.

the boundary between Afghanis

large portion OF the boundary lay
through absolutely waterless and

being dense marsh, swamp and in
undated country. To fix this 200
miles occupied 1900 men for TIVE

lives Of so members OF the mis-

Seistan to be a mass OF ruins. The

a horde OF mad wolves tried IN

Some Surprises Both Ways.

The state elections brought sus- prises to both parties. Some of the surprises are creditable and some are discreditable to the country. Among the former should be classed the de- feat in New York congressional dls- trict normally repub blican of James W. Wadsworth It was he who opposed the meat inspection bill, believing that rotten. foul meats were good enough for the common people.
 The democrats have gained gov ernors in Idaho and Rhode Island-ln Idaho on the Mormon issue, in Rhode Island on the sentiment against Bosses Aldrich and Brayton and their corrupt methods. Governor Johnson, a demo- crat, was reelected in Minnesota, and so was Governor Sparks, also a demo- crat, in Nevada.
 The republicans, who are in partner ship with the Mormons, readily carried Utah, and Penrose, Pennypacker and Bull Andrews have been vindicated in Pennsylvania. The stealage of $S,000,- 900 in the building of a new capitol has been condoned by the stolid farmers of that state, and the ring is itself again. That state, like it's chief city, may be said to be rotten and content.
 It is some comfort to know that Ten nessee has elected Malcolm Patterson governor; that Oklahoma and the In dian Territory went democratic; that Missouri is again under the demo- cratic standard, and that joint state. hood has been rejected by Arizona, which kills the proposition as framed up by Senator Foraker.

Panama canal no doubt underlies the strenuous efforts of E. H. Hartman to gain control of the Illinois Central rail. road. MT. Hartman is deeply inter. ested in east-and-west lines, and in trans-continental lines also, and he de. sires so far as he can to protect them against the new trend and perhaps revolution in traffic. If he can gain control of the Illinois Central he will be in a position to turn not little traffic over his trans-continental rail- roads, or, failing in that, he would reap profit by carrying it to New Orleans.
 The New Orleans newspapers do not regard with favor the handing over of great north-and-south line to the con- trolling magnate of east-and-west com. petitions. They see no chance for re- lief in the rate bill, and they regret therefore that President Fish has been busted from the road that he had built up into one of the greatest systems ill the country.

IN HOTEL LOBBIEs
Heard on the Streets.

Higdon men were in evidence before the election Tuesday. but the number then does not compare with the number now.
 The Rooster that crowed on the lapels of so many coats Monday were not to be found yesterday.
 Where one red feather was to be seen sticking in a hat on Monday a half dozen are to be found in the same hat now, and there are many more hats now than were then.
 'We elected him!" is the slogan 90 be heard on all sides, and the wise man about town laughs and goes over in the corner and tells his friend the old, old story of Me and Betsy killed the bar"
 It was amusing yesterday to see the men who had fallen across the fence to the IIigdon side, and to hear them tell of how they helped elect him. It was still more amusing to hear the fellow who straddled the fence tell of his great deeds during the last two or three weeks and how many men he had voted for Higdon."
 And there was another curious char acter to be found yesterday. He was the man that met a person with T told you so" on his lips and a smile as broad as his face. In every case he had predicted Higdons majority and had not missed it more than 20 votes.
 ''I knew 1t, but could not afford to tell anyone said certain politician, who was an ardent supporter of Judge Stiles, and who spoke for him on more than one occasion, and there was a chorus of ''So did Is" that was better than the ensemble at big musical extravaganza.
 All of them were to be found yester- day.

ETlQUETTE FOR MEN.

From Life.
 When you enter a surface car in which the seats are all occupied by ladies, do not make uncomplimentary remarks be- cause none of them offers you her seat. You can, of course, raise your eyebrows and stare at her slightly, but beyond this no real gentleman will betray his chagrin. Jags are no longer en regle in the day time. No gentleman will carry Q jag later than 10 p. m. They should be car riod in cabs with the feet well out of the window, They are also worn with latch keys. When carrying one home, care should be taken in getting them upstairs to keep on good terms with the lady of the house by presenting her with hun dred-dollar bills at frequent intervals. Jags this year have larger heads than usual and colder feet. When not in use. they should be kept on ice
 When receiving visits from relatives, it s now quite proper to have every article of your own marked with the price you paid for it. This will save a lot of time answering questions.
 Reputations are no longer worn in financial circles, although affected by some stray members of the middle class.
 No gentleman will kiss his wife in pub lie until he has been married at least a year.

A Beautiful Play.

q don't think l ever saw a more ef- fective play of it's kind than The Squaw Man. Milton Royle's comedy drama, which was presented by William Faver- sham at the Jefferson theatre last night, and which will be repeated at two per- formances this afternoon and tonight" said a theatrcgoer. Tt is a wonderful bit of realism and grips the heart ire sistbly.
 'Faultless staging that overlooked no detail and well balanced company con- tributed to the admirable result achieved last night at the Jefferson. There is strength in every scene and lines that fall with telling force; there Is character drawing true to the life and an atmos- phere of the west that Is vivid and con vincIng Especially Is this true of the two ranch scenes in which color Is not lacking and in which the breathless in- terest of the play is heightened by scenic environment that seems bit of Wyoming transferred to the stage. A pretty story Is told in The squaw Man. story that brings tears and laughter and reaches its logical conclusion when a scion of English nobility loses his Indian bride at the critical moment when he can return to England to his ancestral estates and the woman who has always had his love- There arc scenes that for beauty Of sentiment and coloring cannot be surpassed. Birmingham theatregoers who were not present last night should not miss the opportunity of seeing The Squaw Man."
