are much more widely circulated than
they were during his life time. lie

and in that time It Is estimated that
not fcwer than 100000 copies OF
his works have been sold in England
and America, During 1905 4 single

copies and It is estimated that In
England alone during that year. the

HOLLY AND EASTER LILIES.

Mr.. Alfred Lambourne. who has en-
rlched the literature OF Utah with so
many works OF artistic and literary
merit has again added a contribution
Of more than ordinary interest, by the
publication In an edition de luxe Of
his poem Holly and Easter Lilies
ON this poem, Mr. Lambourne has
spent a great deal OF time during the
last fifteen years, and II may be con-
sldcred one Of the best creations OF his
poetic and artistic genius In It he
sings OF the mysteries of life and
death, rising triumphautly from the
SORROWS and shadows of the grave 10
the glory OF resurrection, The poem
Is published in loving memory OF Mrs
Lambouue. who passed away on tho
Gth of March, 1905. The edition Is
limited TO $50 copies, each OF which VIII

Holly and Easter Lilies" opens with
"A dodlcatory poem. ITO Wilhelmina

AN OPPORTUNITY.

Labor troubles seem to thrive and
multiply in the land, involving every
month a larger and larger plumber of
Industries and localities. So far Utah,
owing 10 many favorable circum-
stances, has achieved reputation for
harmony and good will between class
and class.
Within the past two weeks this
reputation has been In danger A
bloody clash of arms at Bingham,
which 50 recently as Thursday night
seemed threatened, would have
brought the State into the limellght
along With San Francisco and Gold
field, as a place for capital to shrink
from and place for workmen TO
avoid, IL they would live in peace
But the danger has, fortunately,
passed. Within the week three big
strikes have occurred. Two Of them
are settled. while the third seems well
on its way to peaceable termination.
When one stops to consider the rea-
sonableness shown by both employee
and employer in the case of these diff
flculties. which were so happily TER
minated without resort 10 those weap-
ons of force which seem so quickly to
be brought into play elsewhere, the
conclusion is apparent that Utah gtill
stands forth In the industrial world
as a center of peace. instead of strife.
The fact that the Murray strike and
again the Bingham Junction strike
found both sides able to meet finally
on common ground. suggests that the
strike germ here Is not of the violent
kind, and that all that needs to be
done is to keep 1t harmless, TO save
Utah from joining the localities whore
labor conditions seem hopeless.
1t will be worth while to keep the
reputation Utah has earned, for big
industries will be sure to take notice
and gravitste this way as the tur-
moil elsewhere becomes more and
more vigorous. On one hand the la
Dor unions win have to exercise sound
Judgment, play fair. and demand only
what is right and just from employ
ers; and on the other hand employ
ers must not be too slow to consider
just demands. They should go as
far az fairness will allow in bringing
about a settlement without strife. A
careful consideration for the material
prospects OF the state Is the first duty
of all citizens. whether listed in the
employed class or that of the en-
ployers, or among the great mass of
the public which finally pays the bills.

and cause an industrial upheaval.

INSTANCES OF COOPERATION.

The spirit Of cooperation is COM
mencing to manifest Itself IN various
parts OF the world This Is one of the
encouraging signs of the time in which
we live. For Intelligent cooperation
is sure to hasten the day Of universal
brotherhood and to furnish the only
practical solution OF many social and
economic problems with which the
world is graphing in vain.
From Paris comes the report that
some Of the priests who have been de-
prived of their stipends and therefore
are under the necessity of procuring a
living for themselves, have formed CO.
operative associations for the purpose
of reducing the cost Of the living eX-
pensos. one association includes TWEEN
ty-two priests established in the sub
urbs of Paris. In buying their coal In
bulk instead Of In small quantity we
are told a saving Of 5000 on the year
has been effected In the parish of
Plaisance alone, and, with the object
OF effectlng further economies, the cure
of Notre Dame Plaisance has applied
to the prefecture OF police for the legal
recognition of the association.
That is an indication Of what can be
done by cooperation.
In Berlin a strong syndicate has been
formed under the name of THE One
Kitchen syndicate" The object OF this
company is to build houses In which all
the flats are served from one common
kitchen. The company will also supply
a staff of domestic assistants, who VIII
keep the flats tidy and clean, and viii
black boots, and in every fiat there VIII
be "A small gas range for cooking minor
dishes. This plan will obviate the
necessity on the part OF the tenants OF
employing domestic servants.
Undoubtedly this arrangement VIII
reduce the living expenses OF the ten
ants. but If these want to have the full
benefit OF cooperation they ought To
organize themselves into companies
and own the houses themselves in
common, instead of paying rent. They
could do that, just as well as not Tor
II Is the tenants who, in the long run,
pay for the houses they occupy, al
though some capitalist has furnished
the money to build for, in the first
place.
Only through corporation are great
achievements possible. 1t may he the
unity OF effort directed by mighty rul-
crs over nations, or commanders OF ar
mics. or managers of business con-
Germs But in our age the people them
selves should supply the intelligence
that make rulers. commanders, or d.
rectors: they should cooperate on
truly democratic, and not on dcspouc
principles.
Cooperation has been the fundamen-
tai teaching of the fpioneers of these
valleys from the beginning, We
have" President Young used to say
"au the clements around us to make
us happy and wealthy people; all
that ia necessary is the skill to organ
ize them. The Lord has done and Is
doing all He has promised. VIII we do
our part? Here Is n field for the exer-
cise OF the greatest talents" The world

OF strikes, acts OF insubordlnation and
other excesses have been fermented at
various stations OF tho Northwestern
railway by travelling professional politi-
cal agitators, and 1t does not appear
that the conciliatory policy Of the rail-
way managers have had the desired ef-
feet OF ending the agitation.
Some OF the Intelligent Hindoos are not
entirely satisfied with British rule. The
prevalence OF the plague IN Some dts
trlcts may have it's disturbing effects at

In the number OF deaths from the pre-
vious week. From October, 1886 to De-
cember. 1906, the total deaths from the
plague were 4.4l1.2i2. and during the

mortality from all other causes. The
death rate for the whole Of India has
increased steadily for the past five
years. from 20 per thousand In 1901, to
% in 1905.
In the minds of many OF the people of
India. the ravages OF famine and plague
are taken as evidences OF mismanage-
ment on the part of the government,
and the dissatisfaction always grows in
proportion to the sufferlngs and hard
ships the people are subjected to. The
Hindoos want self-government. There

whether the outbreak this time does not

has been a series of articles by G. r. Sims

The articles of Mr.. Sims were written
in popular style, somewhat sensational,
maybe, but they achieved their object.
Widespread notice was aroused, and the
ultimate result was that a meeting was

professions.
