THE NEW YEARS PAPERS.

That Salt Lake has just cause to be
proud OF her press capabilities finds
daily demonstration. Perhaps no city
in America OF the same population
supports Ave as strong newspapers as
those published In this city. The amount
and variety of news contained in them
is a marvel to all strangers. As TO
ourselves We have become accustomed
to them and expect them as matter
OF fact. and rather complain when they
are not always trimming over with
feature and other stories, to say moth
ing OF editorial classics In every issue.
When II comes to holiday numbers
they are In the very vanguard of tho
journalistic procession. This year IL
no exception 10 the rule. Two weeks
ago the Christmas News sent forth an
edition OF twenty-six thousand copies
of lie pages each. II was hailed as
literary and art triumph as 1t was
decided financial success.
Now comes the Salt Lake Herald
with It's New Year number OF 106 pages.
the largest and best paper ever run
from It's press. II contains n wealth
Of Information concerning Utah and
Nevada and is we'll illustrated. In all
respects IL does it's share towards up
holding utah's banner and exploiting
her resources to a world that cannot
get too much of that sort OF thing.
II Is altogether credit TO its publish
ers. 20 the city and the state.
The Tribune quite sustains It's past
reputation In the way OF getting up
It's New Years number. It's articles
cover all the branches of activity In
Utah and adjacent fields OF Industrial
operation. They are well written and
opportune, None OF the states re-
sources seem to be neglected, but each
receives due attention and treatment

the line. The Tribune should print

one contains Sc pages and is decidedly
worth reading.

A YEARS EMBEzzLEMENT.
Chicago Tribune.

The total of embezziements and
kindred thefts for 1906 amounts to
Sl4,739,s53, about s5,o00,00 more
than in 1904. OF this total $10.-
745.3s7 was stolen by officials OF
banks, 1.684.564 by public officials
other than postoffice employees, $22.-
$50 by the latter. S379.6s1 by agents.
s24S.1o0 from loan associations, SEAS
6S7 by means of forgeries. and the
other defaleations, amounting to ST.
42S,969, were so varied in their ma
ture that they must be classed as
miscellaneous The comparison with
last year is not so much to the dis
credit of this year when 1t is remem-
bered that more than S10.000.0OO of
the money embezzled was taken by
three men-one in Chicago. one In
Philadelphia, and one in Cuba, the
agent of New York house. In each
OF these three cases the figures repre-
sent the total OF many years of steal
ing which was discovered only this
year 1t is unfair to charge Il all
against the year 1908.

STOP THE PRACTICE.

A practice that is vicious and venai
aside from the purely selfish. Is In
vogue In this city, with regard to the
handling OF public monies. 1t is prac>
tice, too, that the chief American"
party Knockers are profiting by In large
measure.
To have and to hold and to use as oo-
casion presents itself, million dollars
at time, of the peoples cash a,-ainst
their express wish and over their pro-
test, Is little less than brigandage. Yet
that Is what they have. Objections are
brushed aside, desires to the contrary
ridiculed and laughed at.

urer Swenson are asked why this va,
sum of taxpayers money ls put into
the chief Knockers bank for him 10

In his inaugural address Governor
Hughes said that many Of the evils
complained of are the creation OF legis-
lative enactment. 1t Is undoubtedly
true. Every state in the Union, and
the country at large, suffers from too
much law-making. Necessarily 1t Is
crude, being hastily framed and enact
ed. And then II is thought TO cure
these Ills with more legislation of the
kind that begot them. Lack of legisla-
ton may cause some evils but nothing
in comparison with the many that re-
suit from over legislation.

The Limit of Life

The most eminent medical scientists
are unanimous in the conclusion that
the generally accepted limitation of
human life is many years below the at
tainment possible with the advanced
knowledge of which the race is now
possessed, the critical period, that de-
terminates its duration, seems to be
between fifty and sixty; theproper care
of the body during this decade cannot
be too strongly urged; carelessness
then being fatal to longevity. Natures
best helper after fifty is Electric Bit
tiers, the scientific tonic medicine that
revitalizes every organ of the body.
