1t is a good measure and should pass.
Let the legislators look at the for
ces lined up in this fight. On the one
hand are the brewers and the saloon
men. They are meeting in all sec
lions of the state and are passing res
buttons against the bills. On the
other hand is the clergy of every de-
nomination, Catholics and Protest
ants combined, the congregations of
all the churches, including all
the moral forces of the state,
all speaking and passing reso-
in favor of the measures. 1t
is up to the legislators. 1t is for them
to choose with whom they stand. The
people await the result with interest.
The best interests of the common
wealth demand that these measures
shall be placed upon our statute

The True Mission of
Commercial Training"

By Professor JAMES T. YOUNG. University of Pennsylvania
ri r is high time to rescue the term COMMERCIAL TRAIN
ING" from the evil repute into which it has fallen by reason
- of the abuses practiced III certain business colleges and
academies" In the minds of most persons industrial and
commercial education means a six months course in business, ariu-
metic and advanced spelling, together with a judicious admxture of
the elements of stenography. Still others admit the necessity of uni
versty courses in business subjects, but assign to such courses the place
of A MERE APPENDAGE to the usual curriculum.
In sharp contrast to these views commercial training should be
given recognition as a complete, Independent and COORDINATE
system of education, particularly in our universities, and should rank
equally with other complete courses of instruction.
THE OLD CLASSICAL CURRICULUM MAY ALWAYS BE IN DE-
MAND, BUT THE VAST NUMBER OF YOUNG MEN WHO HAVE
NOW SET THEIR FACES TOWARD THE UNIVERSITY REQUIRE
FROM 1T A TRAINING IN EFFICIENCY AS WELL AS CULTURE.

LI0UlR LEGISLATION.

The fight over liquor legislation is
growing warmer. Both sides are lin
ing up in the battle and meeting after
meeting is being held with its usual
resolutions and petitions to the legis-
altors at Trenton.
1t is hard to understand ovever,
what reason a legislatoyGan give for
turning down the loS1 option bill. 1t
is one of the most just measures that
has ever come before a law making
body. Leaving all moral issues aside,
leaving (out the natural prejudice
some PEOPLE have against the saloon
bunness, we have merely a bill that
Allows the people of a community to
exercise home rule in a matter which
concerns no one but themselves. 1t
is simply giving the people of a COM
munity the right to decide whether
they want saloons in their midst or
not. If a majority declare against the
traffic, who has the face to defy their
will and force an obnoxious thing
upon them? Everyone gets a square
deal when the question is put to the
vote of the people. Nothing can be
more fair. The local option bill
should pass.
The high license, or bishops bill,
as it is called, is different. This meas
ure goes into a radical change in the
custom of managing the saloons
throughout the state. 1t provides
that all screens shall be removed from
saloon windows, that the minimum IL
n shall be $500; that back rooms
shall be abolished, and otherwise rev
olutionizes the sale of Intoxicating IL
quors. Compared with other coun-
tries. however, this is not a harsh
measure. The saloonkeepers here in
America point to the fact that they
are doing a legitimate business. They
declare that they are recognized by
law. The men who patronize the
places see no shame in the fact, then
why should there be so much secrecy
about it all? 1t is the screens that
make possible the vice and crime
which has brought the liquor business
in an unenviable position before the
public. 1t is the cheap dens, that
cannot afford to pay a high license,
that harbor the disreputable charac-
tiers, and it is these things at which
the bill is aimed. It does not inter-
fere with the Legitimate sale of intox-
icating beverages, it merely makes it

The reported threat on the part of
the liquor dealers to retaliate upon
the churches by urging a law to tax
all church property is no more than
just. There is no more reason why a
church, which is an organized society,
should be exempt from taxation than
any other organization. In many in
stances churches are better able TO
pay taxes than a great many men who
labor hard for the money they get.
Let church property be taxed along
with all other property, why not?

Robert Y Hart Of Darby began suit
in district court against the lumber
department of the Anaconda Copper
Mining Co., last Saturday.
In his complaint Hart recites that
he has owned 100 acres of land near
Darby since Nov. IS, 1899, 14O acres of
which is covered by timber that was
purchased by the A. G. M. Co. Hart
alleges that the land is valuable for
agricultural purposes but that he has
been una bic to make use OF it because
the de efendant would not remove the
timber. He contends that period of
one year afforded ample time to re-
move the timber and which time he
valves.
He asks judg for damages in
the sum of $500 per year from Jan.
1901 and for an injunction to restrain
the defendant from longer occupying
his land. H. L. Myers is attorney for

Good Cows

The writer has had All opportunity
during the past few days of inspect
ing some of the dairy herds in one of
the best dairy sections of the state aid
1t has been a revelation to him to find
that so little attention is paid to selec-
ton of proper type of dairy COW.
We have seen farmers who were Civ
ing practically their whole attention
to dairying and yet did not seem to
have even the faintest idea that the
general appearance of the cow has any
relation to their milking qualities.
A good dairy cow should be light in
front and heavy behind, deep in the
middle and generally has broad we'll
defined scutCheon, prominent milk
veins, crooked and branching, ending
in d capacious udder with four we'll
placed teats, from which it is not dit
ficult to draw the milk; a thin rather
long neck, fine head with full bright
tion and a strong digestive power. We
believe that for In dairy sections of
Utah and Idaho, IL It the cow used
should have large .'arcentage of some
one or other of the d Try breeds. She
should in her milking ~eason of nine
! or ten months give moi less than 5000
pounds of milk and with kind and gen
erous treatment ought to give up TO
10, 900 pounds. flour farmers will give
more attention to selecting this type
of cow and hen feed her generously
dairying can be made most profit
able ndustry.-Deseret Farmer.
