TWO NEW LAWS.

Among the laws that became efeo-
tive with the beginning OF this year
is the so-callad anti-pass law. II Is
popularity presumed that a number Of
abuses had become established under
the custom OF giving free transporta-
ton to Legislators. members Of the
press. and other influential citizens.
and II Is presumed the anti-pass law

Time will soon tell whether the law
viii accomplish all that is expected
OF It.
Another law now in force relates to
pure food This is one OF great i'm
portance. The scope of 1t is indicated
in the title: For preventing the
manufacture sale or transportation of
adulterated or misbranded or poison
Gus or dcleterious foods drugs medi-
cnes and liquors, and for regulating
traffic therein"
IL this act is enforced. It will result
In great deal of benefit to the pub
lie. The enforcement devolves upon
the agricultural department and funds
have been provided for government
inspectors to travel about. and buy
samples Of food products in the open
markets, and for chemists and ex-
perts to make tests OF those samples.
This law does not, of course apply
to articles not intended for Interstate
commerce. but 1t viii undoubtedly
cause all local manufacturers and
dealers in articles of food. or medi-
cine to offer only articles that can
compete successfully with those In
tended for Interstate commerce.
A pure food law conscientiously en-
forced is as much of a necessity as
rigid quarantine laws, or laws for the
preservation Of the health of the peo-
pie. 1t is of little avail to have strict
hygienic regulations, IL the vendors
of food and medicine are permitted
to sell poison under various innocent
names.

Despite the fact that a great deal
has been said and written respecting
untoward conditions here in Utah, we
teachers have much TO be thankful for
In the freedom and the independence
which have been ours In the prosecution
OF our work. Matters of religion or
politics have not interfered with, or In
any way hampered us in the exercise
of our endeavors. In my experience OF
fifteen years as teacher In this state
/ have yet TO know OF a single instance
where any political or religious coer-
cion, or even undue influence. was ex-
ercised In the case of any school teach
err"
So said Principal Eaton of the
Salt Lake High school In his address
before the Teachers convention at Og-
den. And yet in the late school cleo
ton in this city the american" party
leaders and organ were charging that
the public schools Of this city We're dom
mated by Church influence The peo-
pie have cause for congratulating them
selves that non-partisan Board OF
Education was elected Had It been
otherwise the schools would have been
dominated by narrow prejuoiced, big
oted Board.

and that, too, without hesitation or re-
greet. While there is no war cloud on
the horizon dlscernible at the opening
OF this auspiclous new year, one may
come into view in short notice. a call
to arms might be issued. The trouble
might be nj home in the form OF riot
ana disorder or remote from our own
shores. No one can tell as TO that. 1t is
the wish OF all our people that no such
contingency shall come. But there IS
much force in the old adage. in limos
of peace prepare for war;
That brings us to the point we wish
particularly to speak Of The National
Guard Of Utah should be prepared; and
1t can be with far less effort OF commo-
ton than the wreclters and strlfe-sow-
crs would make believe. 1t is still made
up of men of mettle. It has officers who
would not quail at ,he lannon's roar
and who would willingly execute an or
der in the face of death itself. True,
it has had some troubles of its own. But
what of that? Has not nearly every
other similar organization In the ma
ton had just such experiences as those
through which the Utah militia has
been passing the last year? Military
men know this is true, They know also
that 1t confronts no difficulty that cam
not be bridged. Governor Cutler, the
commander ln-chief. has done much for
the guard. ana has some views of hts
own for it's betterment. They viii
doubtless receive proper consideration
when the legislature meets this month.
No man Is more DESTROYS of its success
than the chief executive, and certainly
few have ever had to contend with
more obstacles than he has. But 1t
looks as though a better day was inn
mediately ahead for the guard.
1t has been urged that the annual
salary of the adjutant general is al
together inadequate-a mere pittance.
Many men of guard experience hold
that this is so, and that 1t is imperative
that the compensation be increased
from the few hundred at which It now
stands to $1,000 or $1,000 year, so that
competent man may give his entire
time to guard affairs. II looks very
much as If though this is true and that
with legislative authority to that end
The governor would be able 10 name
some one TO the important position
whose time he could command and
whom he could hold personally respon-
sible for the progress and condition of
the states own soldlery. Just now is
a good time to give the guard the glad
hand and help 1t and every measure
that win improve It. Don't be a
knocker or an obstructionist. Help the

INVENTED CHRISTMAS.



We owe a great deal to MIR. Scrooge.
We owe him. In word. the Spirit Of
Christmas. When Dickens set to work
to produce his Christmas books. | sup
pose he did not realize that he was
actually inventlng Christmas--that be-
fore him Christmas, as we now UNDER
stand IL, did not exist. / am quite sure
In Mr.. Scroose, the most convincing
figure of meanness and closeflstedness
that he could oonceive--that he was
actually creating. in him, the fons ct
origo OF the openhearted openhanded-
ness which has come to be inseparable
from the festive season; that the grand
children Of those who reviied the UNI
happy miser should have cause to beau
tlfy him and that the name of Saint
Scrooge should deserve almost as hon
orablc place In our national calendar
as that OF Saint Lubbock himself.

AN INCLUSIVE CLUB.
Philadelphia Public Ledger


The membership of the New Boston
City club has been formed with the
iaea OF lncluslveness, rather than eX-
clusiveness. Representatives of the
Itanan clubs OF tie city are to be
members Of the City club. The Greeks
and Hungarians, the Irish and the
Germans the Russian Jews and the
Scandlnayians the capital and labor,
the trades and the professions and all
religions and creeds are represented In
the membership, and this motto has
been suggested: This club is founded
in the spirit of good fellowship and
every member of the club knows every
other member without an Introduction.
This seems to be a good idea, and IL 1t
be carried out 1t is safe TO assume that
the ridiculous race and religious issues
which demagogues have a tendency to
use In Boston elections viii vanish.
