POOR BTILDJNG-

The recommendation OF Bishop Burgess that
the Cathedral of the Incarnation at Garden City
shall be rebuilt is unwelcome but not altogether
unexpected. Last year portion of the strIct-
IRE was rebuilt, because it had got into an
unsafe condition, and now all the rest of II il
more or less unSerViceable if not actually nm
safe. Therefore ii needs TO be- and presumably
will be. rebuilt throughout-a prospect winch
inevitably suggests the speculation whether the
new work will be more lasting than the old
and whether it will be thirty years or more or
less. before the rebuilding has to he done over
again.
There are we know. those who throw tho
Whole piame Tor such things upon our capricous
and nclement climate; and indeed. our oil
mate just at this present time Is sometbinc
which we do not feel inclined to praise or 70
defend. We cannot, however, repress n certain
suspicion that some other factors may be potent
in the problem. England has IL proverbiaIIv had
climate. vet her abbeys and cathedrals have on
dured 10 age which makes ours s.am mo
mushroom growths of yesterday; and ,vhi,o
some OF them have had to be much renairpd or
are now IN need OF rebuilding that has be
come the case only after more centuries finn
our churches nave seen decades. The climate az
Germany Is by no means ideal, yet buildings
stand intact IN IL ten times long as some
do here. In almost every other country or the
WOflu are eulIceS Wnlcn nave survived the ianSa
of centuries Indeed. we have some here OF
goody age which show no signs of decrepi
tude. Yet not only at Garden City, but else.
where. we have buildings which were designed
to stand forever. and in the construction OF
which cost was not regarded, yet which after
only few years must be rebuilt for the sake
of safety or service.
1t is impossible to escape the suspicion, If not
the conviction, that building here is too often
done with view to present show rather than
to permanent endurance. We cannot believe
that our climate is SO destructive and our native
materials so pershable that an edifce mennt
to last forever cannot stand beyond a single gen
eration-es especially since we have here many ex-
amples of buildings that do endure and that
will probably last as we'll as any In the world
The natural Inference is that when a monu-
mental building has to be renewed in the course
OF generation there was some radical fault
either IN the selection and disposition of mate
rails or i'll the work of original construction

Mackay Miner inaugurated a
boosters column" the purpose
of which is to make boosters out
of its readers, and it advises them
to hunt up the newspaper boys
"when you are out" and tell them
the '.honest truth about your
country" And it is a good prop
osition. Ii every citizen who
goes out on a visit would make a
practice of cultivating the ac-
quaintance of the newspaper
men, and talking about their
home town. The editors and re-
porters all over the country
would not only be glad to meet
them. but would accord them all
attention in the world. And in
that way a live individual has it
in his power to constantly keep
the name ofhis community before
the world. The average citizen
is a walking advertising column,
if he only appreciated it.-Idaho

before the new term began. In re-
peating now that he will remain
out of the canvass for 1903 the pres
ident merely reiterated a previous
pledge. The country had no right
to suppose that the president had
changed his mind since election
night three years ago. Neverthe-
less, the fact that he has taken
pains to renew the avowaI, and to
do it in as empathatic language as
he could employ, has large inter-
est for the country. 1t removes
whatever uncertainty there may
have been felt in any quarter re-
garding his attitude, and will bring
forward larger field Of local favor
ties. When Blaine took himself
out of the contest twenty years ago
he Immediately increased the list
ofpresidency seekers. With Blaine's
commanding personality out of the
fight every aspirant new and old,
felt that he had as good chance
as anybody else to get the nomi-
nation. 1t was everyDody's race
then, and the list Of entries became
larger than has ever been seen in
presidential convention before or
since. At one time ana another
about twenty persons were voted
for in the republican convention of
1888. 1t was the longest conven-
vention which has ever been held
by the party, lasting six days. The
man who stood fifth in the tally at
the beginning If the balloting grad
ually worked his way forward, and
won on the eighth ballot. 1t is al
together possible that the begin
ming Of the lineup in Chicago in
1908 will see very nearly as much
uncertainty as the Chicago conveu-
tion which nominated Harrison.
From this time forward the ma
nuvering for position among the
aspirants, which is already fairly
long, stands a chance to be length
ened farther in the coming four or
tive months. This is a healthy
sign for the republican party. The
republicans we're never better equip
ped with leaders of presidential size
than they are at this moment, and the
convention may be relied upon to name
ticket which will command the en-
phatic approval of the American peo-
pie on November 8, 1908. -Pocatello

GooDwIN'S MESSAGE FROM
MARS.


at Mars and oflate frequent dis
patches from our neighbor plan
ct have appeared. The latest
message was published in the
Christmas number and tells OF
the blessings of socialism. eve
are laughing, we in Mars, at the
tix you are in down in yourplan-
et." the message reads. "You
are in trouble and cannot pay
your bills, and are blaming every
body in power and all those who
have your money in care. We
had just such troubles until we
learned a way to avoid them. =
At last a nice old guy put
a notice in a morning newspaper,
which read to the effect that
when God put intelligent men on
the planet he gave them every
thing needed; but no money. He
reasoned that had money been
necessary he would have given
that, too. He besought the peo-
pie to look around and see if they
could find anybody who ever got
anything out OF the world except
board and clothes; explained to
them that there was nothing Of
real value in the world except la
Dor The parliment took up the
matter, passed a law abolishing
all forms of money and decreeing
that any man that would work
two hours a day, our days are
49 hours long, should have
board, and everyone who worked
four hours should have clothes,
and those who would not work
should have neither board nor
clothes for that day.
When men worked four hours
they had all the rest of the day
for study,
How beautiful! But alas! we
are afraid this sublime condition
is as far removed from the earth
as is Mars itself, and will not be
for US poor mortals until the
millennium shall come. On Mars
the climate probably is much
warmer than here, or else the
great host of human beings who
refuse to work even for an hour
would surely freeze; and as here
they subsist by begging the
crumbs from their brothers ia
BILE. This host probably is great
ly added to because when reward
is removed from labor laborers
will fall away from their tasks
and become mere vagabonds.
1t isn't human nature to labor
without hope of reward. With
no incentive other than to fill
ones mind with the greater and
nobler thoughts OF life, would the
class who chad all the rest of
the day to study" put in all the
rest OF the day studying. A few
love learning for itself so much
that they would, but compara-
lively very few. But socialism is
for Mars and other such planets
that might be inhabited.

A FREE FIELD FOR THE
PRESIDENT.


announcement that he will not
accept another nomination, Mr..
Roosevelt takes himself formally
and finally out of the list of pos
Utilities for 1908 and gives each
OF the avowed aspirants a new
and direct interest in the contest.
There is no good reason for sur
prise at what the president has
said. When, on the night of No
vember s, 1904, he declared that
he should consider March 4, 1905,
as constituting his first term,
and that he would not accept
another term after that to which
he had just been chosen, the
country took him at his word.
1t believed that he meant every
word that he said, Some of his
enemies, however have recently
been charging that he would not
refuse another nomination if the
convention should declare for
him. They made these accusa-.
tions for the purpose ofembaras-
ing him, and with the hope of
arousing the jealousy OF the reg
ular aspirants and of hampering
the republican party. These
mischief makers will now be ST.
fenced. No more third term talk
will get any attention from the
country.
When, in the latter part of Jan
uary, 1888. James G. Blaine, writ
ing from Florence, Italy, to Chair
man Jones of the Republican Nat
ional committee, announced that,
for reasons personal to himself, his
name would not be presented to
national convention then only
few months distant, he threw his
supporters, who constituted large
majority Of the party, into confu-
sion, and he changed the whole
face of affairs for the convention.
Blaine had been beaten by Cleve-
land in 1884, but the defeat was
brought about by series of acct
dents, such as would not be likely
to come together again in a CEN
tury. Cleveland's first term arous-
ed dissatisfaction throughout the
country. His tariff message of De-
cember, 1887, raised too many new
enemies against him. The republic
cans felt confident that they could
carry the country in 1888, and
large majority of them turned in
stinctively to Blaine for leadership
in the approaching campaign. The
fight in 1884 was to be fought over
again, under the standard bearers
of that year, with the chances this
time all in favor of the republicans
The country expected in 1888 to
have a repetition of the canvasses
1900 and 1928, when victory came
to candidates who had been beaten
four years earlier. Something like
CONSERVATION, therefore, was caus-
ed in the ranks of the republican
party when Blaine abruptly but
preemptorily took himself out of
the race. Had he remained in the
race he probably would have won
by large majority on the first
ballot in the convention of 1888.

SUNLIGHT AND THE HOUSE.

Rooms Most in Use Should he Ars
ranged that They Receive RRya.
Sunlight is natures most health-glv-
ing scavenger. A house without sum
light is unhealthy and unsafe for hui
man occupancy, and it Is necessary not
only to have some sunlight, but to have
as much Of it as possible. 1t Is. OF
course, not feasible to admit the direct
rays of the sun to every room OF a
house; the typical plan Of all houses
is square or rectangular, and at least
one side Of the house is entirely beyond
the reach of the sun.
The other three Sides however, can
receive more or less direct sunlight
and the problem Of the plan is thus re-
duced to arranging the various rooms
so that the amount Of sunlight is adj
iusted to their uses, and 1t must be-
sunlight, for mere light itself Is not
sufficient; the rays Of the sun have
curative and cleansing properties that
nothing else has
1t is generally admitted that a south.

and should be obtained whenever posi-

trance be placed on this side or not,
so long as the rooms most in use open
onto that side.
In dwellings Of average size the en-
trance front will also be the front on
which 'any important room opens, but
In large country houses the old dis
tinction Of a front and ba ok to house
has disappeared and instead we have
the entrance front and the garden

gated to side end or placed in a wing

There is a big surprise in store for
people who have been expecting the

the prosecution of e. H. Hartman and
his associates and the dissolution of
the railroad combination for violation
OF the Sherman antitrust law.
AT recent conference at the White
House the fact was brought out that
In the opinion Of leading members of

lated by Mr.. Hartman. Grace evils
have been discovered which warrant
the enactment of laws to prevent their
recurrence. But so far as the commits.
slon's investigations have established
neither the federal nor state law was
broken by the financial operations CON
nected with the exploitation of the

infringement of the law caused by the
raising of dividends of Union Pacific
to 10 per cent per annum in spite of
the peculiar circumstances surround
ing this step.
