THE TEXAS BEpSHEET.

Other legislatures having .ooked after
the trust question and other matters
of comparative unimportance. the Tex
as legislature that adjourned the other
day passed, just before the final gavel
fell, a measure regulating the length
of bed sheets in hotels, lodging houses,
sleeping car berths and other places
consideration, lay his head. The law
is to take effect on July II. A MOVE
ment is on foot to set apart a day of
thanksgiving in the Lone Star state be-
cause of the new law.
After the statute becomes effective
severe pains and penalties will be in
f1icted upon responsible persons who
provide their guests with a top bed
sheet less than nine feet long. We
have been led to believe by the carica-
turist that the average Texan is not
less than six and one-half feet tall.
The new bed-sheet law gives him two
and one-half feet of covering for his
pedals, at least. No citizen of Texas,
sub, likes cold feet, either attached to
his own person or to the person of some
other gentleman with whom he may
happen to be playing a friendly game
of cards.
By the same token Re does not like
70 have his feet cold in the still watches
of the night. The led may be too
short for him, but ne can now wrap
the sheet around his feet and stick
them out over the footbcard and be
moderately comfortable. We suggest,
though, that while they were about it
they should have done the thing thor
oughly by providing that all bed
clothes be at least nine feet long. Even
in Texas they have colo night nights
when something mora than single
sheet is needed for the feet.

DECAY OF SPIRITUAL STRENGTH

To The Salt Lake Herald:
The Herald of May Is under the caption
of .MurderOus Country" says there are
11S homicideS to every million of popula-
ton. Judge Thomas. who is being quot
ed, then very properly says it is caused
by want of respect for the law. l will
say 1t is caused by a want of proper edu-
cation. In the raising of children the
moral side is sadly neglected. Former
ly the children were required to have due
respect for the rights of other children.
Not only so, but they were required to
study the bible and especially the new
testament. But why do we stand for the
study of the bible? For two reasons
First, it is the only source from which
we learn of our souls, of the higher life
of God, of Christ. of supreme love, of the
brotherhood of man, of spiritual death
the cause of temporal death of the body
and very many other truths. Secondly,
because force or fear does not secure us
from crime. Many people are killed by
Drawing dangers; yet this does not keep
others from the same ventures. Among
those things that cause death one might
mention wars, shipwrecks, railroad
wrecks. mines, etc It can easily be seen
that fear of punishment will not pre-
vent people from committing crime. For
merly in England many crimes were pun
ished by death. It was the AK for theft
the ak for burglary, for the highwayman.
So 1t is plain that we must look to moral
suasion to reduce crime. There was
time, about forty years ago, when the
cry arose, Leave the bible out of the
common schools. Childrens minds should
not be biased by it's teachings" Dearly
have we paid for the regime. The cost
of criminal prosecution throughout the
country has greatly increased Men are
now not caring for their fellows other
than how they can rob them. And the
churches are dwindling. Men are not
concerned about a future life on account
of unbelief. and the present is all suf-
ficient. E. H. l.

BACK THERE.

Baltimore SUM-
Back there in the other years, in the
drift Of their dream and song.
An echo is ringing for US as we move in
the murmuring throng;
IL carries us out of our cares, and 1t
Soothes with a touch that we know
When the tenderness Of a mothers love
EMBODIED US, me and you.
Back there in the other years, in the
CLEAN of the golden morn.
When fancy followed with dancing feet
the lure of the fair horn:
Pack there in the golden days an echo is
ringing yet
OF the laughter trimming the lips of
hope-a music we can't forget.
Back there in the other years. in the
sweet, old-fashioned time
Or childheart olay and lightheart way
OF the wonderful nursery rhyme;
Back there i'll the dream we drift, and
over and over again
Our hearts are singing the olden song and
hummirg the old refrain.
Back there in the other years, the home
stead and the hill,
The beautiful valleys of song and bloom
the click of the Gathering mill
To the tune and the throb and the throe
in the same old beautiful way
We lift our heads 20 its golden thought
wherever we are today.
Back there in the other years are shad-
ows we left behind
OF old, far-off, forgotten things that are
drifting mist IN the mind;
But they weave in their wonderful spell
a web that enfolds us sweet
And ever and ever they draw us back to
the path where the roses meet.
Back there in the other years, the
meadow of bloom and bird
The little brooks where the ripples laved
the legs of the lowing herd;
The old barn fragrant with the hay, and
the leaping upon the NOW
All, back from the other years there
drifts a vision of all of it now.
Sack there in the other years, the quiet
and innocent life,
An echo is ringing for us, as we move in
the surging strife;
And 1t cheers and strengthens and helps
and holds every one of us true
To the tender touch of the mother-love
back there in the years we kenw

the full extent of the law. There is no
or an adult and infiict injuries of a
serious or even a fatal character. In
some parts of Salt Lake it is not safe
for children to walk along the streets
alone. for they may at any moment be
attacked by a dog.
We are perfectly aware of the fact
that no dog owner believes his ct 10
be vicious. They are never vicious un-
til after they have attacked somebody
and then it is too late, as far as that
victim is concerned. All that can be
done is to spare other possible victims
by killing the dog. Certainly beasts
that show the slightest tendency to bite
people should be muzzled when they
are at large. At other times they
should be securely chained.
The Herald believes strongly in dogs.
There is no animal that is more de-
voted to its master. Wherever man has
lived dogs have lived and been a COM
fort, and often very material help to
him. With dogs it has been made pos
sible to traverse the snowy wastes of
the far north, and to men in lonely
places the dog is often the only COM
panion. A faithful, intelligent dog is
a real treasure.
But in a civilized community there
is no more excuse for keeping a savage
dog than there is for maintaining a
den of rattlesnakes and allowing them
on occasion to run at large about the
town.

practice of keeping such animals. or at
