Several hundred attended the fifth

shown when the athletic events were
being pulled off, and the enthusiasm
was high. The formal exercises were

of his thoughts 1st Corinthians and 2nd

seven parts as follows:
First-Paul says all riches is ours.
Our riches i'll Jesus Christ is great.
Second-AIl teachers of truth i'll the

Third-The world is Ours-it belongs

FOurth-Life is ours.
Fifth-Death is ours.
SiXth-Life to come is ours.
| Seventh-Riches in Christ is ours.
| Following the Bible reading Rev. H.
Brink of Alpha took as his text the last
chapter of the last book of the Bible
and the 18th verse He said, The most
rational and most practical thing is

The band then led the way to the
baseball grounds located at the south
east end of the park, where all the ath-
letic contests were held.
The first number in the sporting
events was the fat mems race This
some of the sprinters who had an I'M
usually large amount of weight to
carry made a huge kick, and the event
was pulled down to so yards. There
were five starters, and c. II. Krieger
of Trinity lodge, Davenport, proved to
be the most fleet-footed and was award
ed a box of clear Havanas. This, was
followed by the single ladies' potato
race. This event did not take very
well with the feminine sex, and there
were only three entries. Miss Grace
Ewing of Moline, unmarried and re-
markably good looking, finished first
and was awarded a 5-pound box of
| candy.
! The next race, the most warmly con

! free for all Masons. There were 1G
sprinters in the field for this event
w. b. Pinneo was the first to cross the
line, although he was given quite 4
chase. He was awarded a beautiful

years of age was easily won by John
Pardon, Jr., of Rock Island.
The 5O-yard dash for girls under the
age of II proved a very interesting
event. There were nine starters, but
Miss Della Saunders of Moline was
very fleet-fOoted and beat the entire
bunch to the tape with about three
yards to the good.
The tug-of-war between Rock Island
and Scott county teams proved a very
interesting event the two teams being
evenly matched. They pulled for about
five minutes on the first stretch, and
neither team lost ground. A Rock Is
land enthusiast became excited during
the pull, and in his delirium jumped in
and helped the Davenporters. When
this was noticed by the judges, the pull
was stopped and the would-be Illinois
strong man reprimanded for his ac-
lions. In the next and final pull the
Illinoisans put their heels far into the
soil and pulled with their opponents
until they had them gasping for breath
and then they pulled them over the
line to defeat
Play Ball Game.
Following this the Illinoisans and
Iowa boys mixed in ball game which
grew very enthusiastic toward the
close. The game lasted only seven in
inings, but to some of the Iookers-on il
seemed like a double-header. Up tt
the sixth inning the score stood 5 to Z
in favor of Davenport, but in the sew
enth the Rock Island rooters began
bowling and two more runs were
brought in, and the score tied The
Rock Islanders would probably have
won the contest had it not been for :
dispute which lasted until about dusk
and the game had to be called on ac
count of darkness. The Davenporters
accused the Rock Islanders of batting
| their men out of order, and for this one
of the Islanders who hit two-baggeI
was called out.
The lineup of the two teams was as

nUR FOOTBALL HEROES.

The Herald extends its heartiest con-
gratulations to the football heroes of
the University of Utah. The strong
Golden team came here in its pride
Friday, and Saturday it was humbled.
All accounts agree that the Utah boys
won strictly on their merits. They were
better in all departments of the game
than their opponents. and that is say
ing a good deal, for the Golden eleven
is considered the strongest in Colorado.
Before the game experts were almost
a unit in declaring that Utah had, no
chance to win, not even remote, out
side chance. We were told that
Golden had forgotten more about foot
ball than Utah could ever know, that
the Coloradoans were merely coming
out here for a sort of practice scrim-
mage. But the experts were wrong.
Utah did know something about the
game. She knew something that Golden
didn't know. AS result the visitors
have gone home in a subdued and
chastened frame of mind.
1t is not our desire to gloat. For
the visitors it must be said that they
are a fine, clean lot of young fellows,
and the members of the team are in no
way responsible for the foolish things
that were said of them and against the
Utah boys prior to their arrival here.
The victory is an important one, how
ever 1t is the first time the Utah team
has beaten Golden, and that is glory
enough for one football season. Again
we extend our congratulations to the
young men on the hill.
And while we are on the subject it
is proper to say something for the
manifestation than on Saturday. The
undergraduates and the alumni were
out in force to cheer the team on to
victory if possible, to console If defeat
should be its portion. Whether Utah
was losing or gaining ground, there
were cheers for the team. and the ap-
plause must have been inspiring to the
weary warriors on the gridiron. 1t was
an important factor in the victory.
Praise, too, is due Coach Maddox,
who has aforetime shown his cunning
in the preparation for football strife.
Nor should Miss Van Colt, who is in
charge of the training table, be over
looked in the distribution of laurels. It
is easily possible to spoil a football
team by an improper diet. Miss Van
Colt saw to it that the boys had moth
ing that did not tend to sound physical
development, and to her belongs a
share of the glory.

iously enough, these hospitals profit
to the extent of 100000 francs a year.
When one has made a study of
French pawnbroking laws, it is easily
seen that the first object served by
these laws is to protect people who
want immediate money advantages.
France (and we may say France, for
municipal pawnbroking is to be found
in every corner of the country, cares
little that many transactions are car
ried on at a loss. In one year of
Paris, 1000, goo were effected at a loss,
since no auction will bring a complete
return on small objects. OF course,
this is offset by the return from loans
on other million articles but should
there be a deficiency the municipality
has no hesitation in going down in its
pockets and thus has an indirect mode
of taxing the well-to-do to support the
needy. Since no country has raised a
cry against charity, this, as one form
of 1t, can be passed without criticism.
The fact is, money is lost on all loans
under 30 francs.
The capital of the pawnshops con-
sists of legacies, gifts and subventions
of the state, department of the COM
mune. Occasionally, as at Grenoble
and Montpelier the establishments are
so we'll endowed that no interest is
charged. Paris, for no unfathomable
reasons, does the largest pawnbroking
business on the continent, $4,000, 600
francs being the average yearly pledges
and 100000 900 francs redeemed. The
total revenue is 100000 francs, the ex-
pense of management 100000 francs,
the interest on capital about 1,500 900
francs, and the net profits 10000
francs. This was the state of affairs
last year.

an Impractical man would revolt. Of
flee is considered as a species of prop
erty. and government rather as a
means of promoting individual inter-
ests than as. an instrument created
solely for the people
Corruption in some and in others d
perversion of correct feelings and prin-
ciples divert government from its le-
climate ends, and make it an engine
for the support Of the few at the ex-
pense of the many. The duties of all
public officers are, or at least admit of
being made, so plain and simple that
men of intelligence may readily quail
fy themselves for their performance,
and | cannot but believe that more Is
lost by the long continuance of men in
office than is generally TO be gained by
their experience. / submit. therefore,
TO your consideration whether the eff
ficiency of the government would not
be promoted and official industry and
integrity better secured by a general
extension OF the law which limits ap-
pointments to four years.
In a country where offices are Gre
ated solely for the benefit of the peo-
pie no one man has any more intrinsic
right to official station than another.
Offices were not established to give
support TO particular men at the pub
lie expense. No individual wrong is
therefore done by removal, since
neither appointment to nor continuance
in office is matter of right. The in
cumbent became an officer with view
to public benefits, and when these re-
quire his removal, they are not to be
sacrificed to private interests. He who
is removed has the same means of OBJ
tanning a living that are enjoyed by the
millions who never held office"
Here in Salt Lake during the last
two years we have had some striking
examples of the arrogance of Office
holders. And any time the holder of
an elective office begins to imagine that
he is the MASTER rather than the SER
want of the people, that officer loses his
value to the people and should be
turned out.

JACKSON ON PUBLIC OFFICE.

In these hot political times. when the
strife for public office IS keen, when
the men who are in office regard their
elective stations as their own personal
property and are angry when the peo-
pie think of removing them, 1t may be
well TO bear in mind the views of one
of our most distinguished chief magis-
trates. President Andrew jackson, on
that subject. In one Of his messag es
to congress President Jackson said:
There are, perhaps, few men who
can for any great length of time en-
joy Office and power without being
more or less under the influence of
feelings unfavorable to the faithful
performance of their public duties
Their integrity may be proof against
improper considerations Immediately
addressed to themselves, but they are
apt to acquire a habit of looking with
indifference upon the public interests
