THE UNIVERSITY "U."

week ago a public speaker here
took occasion to criticise strongly tn,
construction of the university's bis
"U'' on the hillside above the valley anC
classed it with such DETACHMENT of the
landscape as billboards and soap signs
Now DR.. Kingsbury of the university
says the ~" is all right, and is correct
in his judgment.
The big letter stands for the college
spirit of the institution on the hill. II
is A monumental work, conceived in
loyalty to the institution and carried
out with admirable energy and efficien-
cy. 1t is no more a DETACHMENT than
the buildings of the university itself:
and if it has any advertising element
in it, the thought it advertises is one
to be commended.
1t can only be valuable 10 the state
to have visitors see the letter blazoned
on the hill announcing that Utah has a
great university as the crown of its
educational system, and that the stu
dents have found this ingenious way of
calling attention TO the fact. Nothing
could be further removed from that
commercialism which finds vulgar ex-
preston in obnoxious signs than is the
white letter above the city proclaiming
a fine college spirit and emphasizing the
educational idea.

THE WORD "osEY."

a curious story comes from ST. Louis
sometimes called the home of the freak
court decision, about an opinion hand
ed down recently by a judge of that
city. A woman was on trial for writing
lottery tickets. She testified that she
had written the tickets, though know
ing her act to be wrong, at the COM
mand of her husband. And when she
was married she had sworn to obey. rs
well as to love and honor her husband
The court directed the jury to return q
verdict of not guilty on the ground that
in writing the tickets, the woman had
merely fulfilled her marital obligation.
Thus all the responsibility for her act
is placed upon the shoulders of her
husband. The woman is held to be no
more criminal than a pen used by a
forger in the commission of a crima
But isn't the decision of the ST. Louis
court calculated to make women Just a
little less prejudiced against the use of
the word obey" in the maria ge cere-
mony? We have been led to believe
that the word is generally omitted these
days from the ceremony, and at the re-
quest Of the brides. This on the theory
that they will not consent to be the
slaves of the men they love.
The dear girls never seem to realize
that there is no possibility of their be-
coming slaves. That lowly function al
ways belongs to the men, and, so Car
81, CHI
it. The obey is the hollowest kind Of
a mockery. usually. when it is used at
all. The bride doesn't consider herself
bound by IL and the groom wouldn't
think Of holding her to it. But the word
may have its value, as has been shown
in the st. Louis case.
Seriously, if the st. Louis decision is
to be regarded as law, where could the
line be drawn? Would a woman who
committed murder be entitled to dis
fed that her husband directed her 70
commit murder? And wouldn't such
pleas, if generally entered. put the hus-
bands in very bad position? No real
man would be willing to go on the stand
and contradict the testimony of his
wife. Every husband is in honor bound
to corroborate his better half, no mat
ter how absurd her story or how deeply
il may incriminate him.
1t is impossible to believe that the ST.
Louis case will be taken as proper
precedent. No grown woman will COM
commit merely because her husband

Willy FOREMAN.
How He Managed to Win Over a
Stubborn Kansas Juror.

A Kansas City lawyer is telling a story
its said TO be true one, toO-to illus
trate in what peculiar manner d verdict
is sometimes reached by a jury, says the
Kansas City Star This is story about
a jury that sat in case which was tried
and finished just before Christmas. a
shrewd city business man was foreman
of the jury, and on it also was a gray
haired farmer from out in the country,
1t was a case in which some man was
suing railroad company for damages on
account of personal injuries.
1t looked as if there wouldn't be any
agreement, and the stubbornness that
was manifested by some members of that
jury seemed to indicate that Christmas
would be spent in the JuryroOn- Finally
after futile ballots, the business man took
the farmer aside into corner.
Most of us are willing to give the man
something, urged the foreman Now
take a broad view of the case and give
the plaintiff $500 anyway-just for hu-
manity's sake"
Though reluctant at first, after press
ure the farmer yielded. Then later, when
nothing had yet been accomplished, the
business man again talked to the farmer
You've given 500 for humanity s sake. "
he pleaded. now give 500 for sympathys
sake"
He talked earnestly. and finally the
farmer yielded.
i've got him I'D to s1.o0O." the bust
ness man said to himself. 1T begins to
look as If we might yet reach a verdict"
Then later he went. to work on the farm
er again. IT was late in the afternoon.
It'll soon be Christmas" the foreman
told the farmer, Give another 500 for
Gods sake and let's eat Christmas din
ner at home"
No sir" declared the farmer, en-
phatioalIy. I'll never give 81 800.
After more pleading he said:
Now, l want to be home Christmas
I'll give 81 ago and not another penny
I've said won't give $3.50 and l won't"
Good" exclaimed the foreman. Here
is a verdict then"
The other members had been gradu-
ally coming down until they were for
about s., 900. Then the willy business man
took a pen and wrote some figures in the
blank left In the verdict form: 81. 400 is
what the farmer thought he wrote They
all signed it. 1t was afterward discov-
cred the foreman had written 81, 940-trans-
posing the figures. But the Jurors did not
notice it and went away satisfied and
spent Christmas at home.

'F'allieres and myself spent mighty
happy day together among your au-
thors. but at last he had to get back
to his work and 1 came to the hotel
here to rest and think it all over. That
night / dreamed | was back in Cache
valley and when l walked up ] was
homesick. But the feeling passed off
after 1 had a few stems of your ex-
eellent wine and l was ready for bust
ness when a boy du bell fetched me
up a card with NJ. Henri Brisson print
ed on it.
Il had never heard of this fellow
Brisson, but 1 told the boy du bell to
show him up. He turned out to be
the president of your chamber of depu-
ties, come to show me how the depu-
ties work. He had a hack waiting out
in front and in a few minutes we were
at the palace of the corps legislatif,
which corresponds to our court house
at Logan, which is not so big but plen-
ty big enough. NJ. BrissOn took me
right up to the speakers desk and gave
me seat on his right All the men,
all of them yelled:
Viva la Joseph Howelli Vive la
Valley Cachel Vive la Vile Logan,
Trois cheers for Reed Smooth
After les cheers had been given
with great empreSsement NJ. BrisSOn
called. on me for a speech. For the
honor and glory of Cache valley 1 was
obliged to respond.
Mon camrades of les corps legis-
latif.' l said. 1T donnez mich great
plaisir a parle avec vous. Je come
from un belle county but this country
is heller in some respects. Je am lie
premier deputy aus my own land zu
apportez a vouz ct je feel belle about
it. Voulez vous aller avec moi la
nearest saloon ct Grinkez on les Etats
Unis ct la Valley Cache?'
They all came, and the drinks cost
40 francs and 10 centimes, but the way
they cheered was worth it. Sacre, 1
don't like to spend so much money,
though. It's a centime here and a CEN
time there. A man breaks a franc in
the morning and at night he hasn't got
more than sixty or seventy centimes
left out of it. But 1 was telling you
about the meeting of the legislature.
When we went back to the hall 1 had
q good chance to watch things.
"Attendez vOus, lie president is no
such speaker as Harry Joseph. NJ.
BrissOn looks well, but his hair is not
red and his voice is not so loud as
Harry's. And 1 didn't see anybody
running around and directing things
like William Spry and Ed Callister and
Tom Hull do in mon cher Utah. All,
cherie, ! talk to you with all frank
ness. We do things letter in our coun-
try. Over here the boys don't seem
to know what they are going to do
when they get together. Over there
their work is mapped out several days
in advance. They are told exactly
what to do, and they do it,"
NJ. Howell at this Point asked your
correspondent 10 excuse him, because
he had made an appointment to dine
at THE Dead Rat" cafe with a merry
party. He said he would have some
further observations to make within
the next few days.

AN ALTRUisTIc PROPOSAL.

Out of the Kindness of their hearts
and entirely because of their love of the
Democratic party, Messrs. Callister and
spry and Pussy Jimmy anderson and
Thomas Hull planned some weeks age
TO let the Democracy of Salt Lake fuse
with them in the coming city election
In an altruistie burst of generosity they
were quite willing to let their erstwhile
bitter enemies come into the federal Of
f1ce-hoiders' camp and bring the city
Offices with them for division.
Not that Callister and Spry and an
derson and Hull care for Office. Oh.
dear no. All they desire is the saliva
ton of the city from the awful Amer
leans" and its return to the paths of

peace and righteousness and Repubii-
canism. Having succeeded in splitting
the Republican party here; having
alienated the Republicans who used to
contribute most literally to the cam
paign funds; having seen their city vote
reduced to what the mathematician
call negligible quantity; having OBJ
| served the ease with which Lynch car
ried one election district in the whole
city at the last municipal election
they concluded they would be phiian-
thropic for once.
1t was a lovely scheme-for a gold
brick scheme: but remembering the SAD
experiencesof men who buy gold bricks
without an assay, the Democrats of Salt
Lake refused to be Mcwhirtered In
stead, they announced that the party
would keep on doing business at the old
stand and let the Smoot Republicans
and the American" Republicans fight
ii out.
Besides, the Democrats recall the fact
that the Smoot Republican vote in Salt
Lake is responsible for the election of
the American" ticket and the defeat
of the Democratic ticket, and they de-
cline to believe that this sudden access
of solicitude for the city's welfare is
either genuine or permanent.
Quite early enough for political and
practical purposes, the Democracy of
this city will hold it's convention and
name a complete list of candidates for
city office. The nominees will be good
men, capable of managing the city's
business properly and of such standing
as to command the confidence and re-
spect of the community. If the city
electors really want a good administra-
ton the Democratic ticket will be sue
cessful. If the voters are Indifferent or
if they are willing to endure incompe-
tent city management for the sake of
political advantage and so defeat the
Democratic ticket, it will be their own
funeral.
Whatever happens. the Democratic
party will have the satisfaction of re-
tanning its own self-Fespect, the comfort
of knowing that it has not affiliated
with a bunch of political bunco steerers
who are willing to trade principles for
office any time they have to trade to get
the offices.
