LABOR DAY.

Monday will be Labor day. One day in the year
set apart to commemorate the sacred of labor
should appeal to the heart of humanity Labor
skilled and unskilled is the enterprise which is
universal, has been the support and maintenance of
the human race in all ages and nations, and indis
pensable for society and governments. The day set
apart to honor honest labor should not be entirely
devoted to worldly amusements, much less to carous
ing or evil deeds. When the work of creation was
completed, "and on the seventh day God ended his
work, He rested, and blessed the seventh day and
sanctifed it." Labor day is day of thanksgiving
to God for the blessings bestowed those "who
earn their bread by the sweat Of their face" Their
first thought then should be St Paul says, ''to
give thanks to Cod" on that day. They should go
to their churches and pray God to direct them and
bless their humble labors for the coming year, In
Catholic churches as is well known, services are
held every day in the year. For her members, who
take part in celebrating Labor day, every opportun
ity is offered to give religious aspect to that day
of rest They are invited and encouraged to attend
Mass and many do so. All, no matter what their
belief may be, should be mindful of their duties to
God, give him their first allegiance, and acknowl-
edge his right and title to their homage. He is the
Father of all and bestower of all gifts and there
fore entitled to mans first consideration on Labor
day.

egraph lines with the savings of the people, and
thus secure governmental control if not absolute
governmental ownership of the telegraph service
of the country.
In these days of enlarged federal powers the
suggestion is of more than passing interest and
might furnish a means of ending the present strike
at least of preventing future disturbance of tel
egraphic communication. There is no reason why
the government should not own the telegraph bus
mess of the country 1t is not a political ques-
ton; it is not socialism, nor question affecting
any party principle. 1t is business proposition.
1t may be an economic necessity, and the postal
savings bank may well be the means of accom-
plishng this economic reform.
Other postmasters general have proposed other
methods of investment in advocating the extern
sion of the postofice department to include the
savings bank. These cover about every stable in
vestment from national government and municipal
bonds to loaning the money to the national banks
at reasonable rate of interest such loans to be
in all cases preferred claim against the assets of
the borrowing banks.
However the method of producing the needed
revenue may be finally decided it is patent that,
while there is no crying demand for such a system,
Une postal savings DanK 1dea contains mucn TO rem
der its favorable consideration worthy of our coun-
try. Its advocates point to the success and
rapid growth in other lands evidence of its pop
ularity That the deposits in the postal savings
banks of Great Britain, including Ireland and her
colonies, exceed billion dollars seems sufficient
evidence that the United States cannot go far
wrong in adopting the scheme.
The only drawback seems to be the lack of some
method of safe investment for the savings funds
The purchase of the telegraphs ought to furnish
investment means for few years, and then there
are the railroads and the coal mines. It ought to
be quite as easy for the government to own and
control these public necessities within the boun-
diaries of our nation it is to extend jurisdiction
over lands in the antipodes. And thus entering
upon the experiment of government ownership does
not seem fraught with any graver danger to
liberties and the nations stability than the adop
ton of a colonial policy.
By all means, let US have postal savings banks,
and if no better means of investment can be found,
let the government take over the telegraph, as
starter.

HARD TIMES.

The "big interests" of the country have proph-
esied that crisis is impending in this country
They have stirred things up in Wall street and
trying to scare the people into the belief that
financial panic is imminent. If they can make
the people believe that money is getting scarce
and can betray them into withdrawing their funds
from the banks and thus take from the channels
of trade the medium of exchange their predic-
tons will come true. Nothing is needed to pro-
duce a panic but. general belief that it is COM
ing.
1t is noteworthy that the calamity howlers are
all associated with the big interests of the coun-
try. Last January John D. Rockefeller announced
that the nation was to undergo financial strin-
gency during 1907. Eight months have elapsed,
and his prophecy isfnot yet fulfilled. True, there
has been heavy slump in the stock market, and
fortunes have been made and lost in this form of
gambling, but SO far the people have steadfastly
refused to be stampeded. Instead of panic, the
people have considered the depression more as
readjustment after period of imitation The wa
ter has been seeking its level Crops are about
average and mines are producing more and more
all the time and the demand for manufactures
is stupendous 1t does not seem propitious time
to croak.
But the "big interests" have prophesied hard
times, and they do not like to be discredted Their
plans have all been arranged, and as they have
great deal of power force their plans to fruiton
no doubt they will exert that power to destroy the
credit of the country and thus fulfill their proph-
ecies and their wishes.
Viewed dispassionately, the prophecy of evil
seems more like threat; not the simple forecast
ing of events, but a word of warning to the people
to cease interference with matters affecting the
'big interests" Their graft must be left undis-
turbed else they will withdraw from the activity
of the commercial world and scare everybody else
into withdrawal, and thus produce the desired eff
feet of allowing them to continue their illegiti-
mate operations.
Undoubtedly the threats of monopolistic capt.
tai have stayed the hand of the administration in
its desire to revise the tariff schedules. 1t is

conception of the rottenness which Is reVealea DF
the glare of the electric lights.
Parental restraint is lacking in good many
homes or the appearance of young people on the
streets at unearthly hours would be impossible. For
those victims of early debauchery whose lives have
been blighted forever, we must drop a tear; must
even acknowledge an appreciation OF the Iasr
spark of manhood and womanhood remaining in
them which impels them to walk the night when
decent people are at home, that their evil might
not contaminate the pure Even they may be hi
ed up by persistent and organized effort. But the
young men and women ought to be at home They
are going down to depths from which they rise
only by herculean effort on their own part and by
proper guidance from their elders.
Yes, Salt Lake has beautiful Streets broad and
smooth, and improvements are being extended
But the morals in those streets are receiving only
the slightest attention. The new chief of police
has started reform in actually closing the saloons
on Sunday. and in this we commend him. If he
can clean up the streets he will have rendered an
other good service This can be done only with
hearty cooperation and the strongest support Of
the decent and law-abiding citizenship of Salt
Lake.
That boys will be boys is a truism, but it is not
meant that boys will be beasts. And maidenly vir-
tue seldom if ever parades the public streets with
STEADY" or some young snob picked up at the
corner, after nightfall. 1t is true that many re
spectacle people, young and DID, are sometimes out
late at night but they usually on the way home
and everybody who sees them knows it. 1t is
fortunate but true that the streets of the city at
night become a noisome place, whitening curse,
which ought not to be. The police department
do little without parents cooperation, and parents
seem to be Indifferent or ignorant of true cond-
tions.
1t is up to the people to remedy the evil.

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.

Great Britain established postal savings in
1861, and we have never heafd of any intention on
the part of the British gove nment to disesablish
it. France, Austria, Hungary, Italy the Neither
lands, Sweden and Belgium bow carry on postal
savings system, with deposits amounting to hun
dreds of millions of dollars. In England and
Wales, according to statistics before us, there
100000 depositors, with sal ings of $662,000,000
or an average of about $75 for each depostor. The
system as practiced in Eng and is essentially for
that large class who find it Impossible to carry
bank account. No one may deposit more than $3.50
in any year, more Than $3.50 as a total
The government pays two ard half per cent in
terest all deposits, but interest when the
principal and interest reach 900. Any postof-
fee in the United Kingdom Receives deposits and
funds may be withdrawn atS any time from any
postofice The government fs the bank, and the
postoffces are the branches which conduct the bus
mess.
Postal savings banks in q lr own country have
been more or less strongly advocated since 1871,
by nearly every postmaster go neral, as means OF
encouraging thrift among people who have no bank
account, and whose savings, f they have any, are
carried around in their pockets or stored away IN
some hiding place known on BY to themselves 1t
is estimated that there is no less than half bill
lion dollars of this kind of money in the United
States, and it is believed postal savings bank
would get most of this on de posit if very small
per cent of interest we're ofer4d
Interest, of course, does mott grow on trees, and
this fact makes one of the difficulties which the
government must overcome. Alt could not offer
per cent interest on postal savings and appropri
H.
ate money out of the general bfund to pay 1T. The
money deposited necessarily must be invested in
some way to pay the interest And the increased ex
pense attaching to the postofHce department. Just
now the government has sur plus of cash. 1t can
borrow at per cent. SO the complications arising
from a new departure in theA postal department
would make an unnecessary eHxpense and seem to
render impracticable the esta hblish1nent Of saw
ings department
Various suggestions have bt zen made as to what
method of investment should bd followed should the
government enter into the Dol ta savings system.
1t is apparent that the money derived from savings
deposits could not be used to pay off the national
debt, for this would produce nd interest and would
leave great debt scattereR throughout the
country as before it was paid off," It was pro-
posed by Postmaster General 3 Cresswel, during
Grants administration, in 1871, to buy up the tel

equally beyond doubt that the victory of the free
trade principle few years ago was followed by
withdrawal of capital from the industries of the
country because capital would not compete on an
equality with capital of other nations, Evidence
is all too plentiful that American manufacturers
do successfully compete with the world in the
trade of foreign lands but they will not, if
are to judge by the past meet the prices of for
elgn manufacturers in our own country. The "big
interests" taught the American people a severe
lesson in political economy in the hard times of
Cleveland's administrations lesson which they
are today threatening to repeat The lesson is that
any attempt to decrease the earning power of
money, any attempt to provide more equitable dis
tribution of the good things of the world, whether
it be through tariff revision or the enactment of
laws forbidding special privileges, such as rebat
ing will be followed by financial reverses to the ma
ton, lnaugurated and guided by the power of
wealth
Questions of poticak economy are difficult to
discuss without seeming 70 favor one or the other
of the great political parties. The merits of pro-
lection and free trade are little understood by the
people, and the questions are so involved in par
tisanship, and the wealth of the country so intent
on maintaining for itself the advantages derived
from high tariff, so opposed to the principle of
free trade that it refused in the 90s to participate
in the business affairs of the nation that the ablest
statesmen cannot decide which system is in its
hnallty the better to promote the public good and
general welfare of the people The protective sys-
TEN taxes the land and labor of the nation for the
benefit of capital. Under it, the protected indus
tries reap rich rewards. Everything is high priced
and profits to traders big. The free trade system
taxes the land and labor of the world-aso for the
benefit of capital. Under it, the world competes
and competition reduces profits Everything nat
urally is cheaper.
But when capital of one nation refuses to COM
pete with capital of another, production of manu-
features ceases, wage earners are thrown out Of
employment and hard times and distress result
High tariff beyond doubt is the best guarantee
of high prices and the prosperity of capital Free
trade is beyond doubt the best guarantee of lower
prices, with capital compelled to compete with for
eign capital or remain inactive.
As long as capital is permitted to dominate the
world, long the people are satisfied to live
from hand to mouth, accepting from the favored
few the meager rewards of docity the prophecies
of the "big interests" will be received as words of
wisdom. President Roosevelt has hammered stead
tasty at the evils of the nation as he sees them
He is not deferred by threats of financial panic.
If hard times come it is for the people to thank the
"big interests and the system which permits them
to the hard times-a petty revenge upon the
people for demanding that capital obey the law.

Fire losses in the United States are estimated
to average $200,OOO,0OO year. The International
Society of State and Municipal Building Commits
sioners says that nne-tenths of this loss is pre-
ventable. If the commissioners are right, fire
losses in this country be reduced $180,000,000
year through proper building regulations and
care, sum sufficient to pay 10000 inspectors, or
one inspector to each 1000 inhabitants, salary
of $4,000 year. Such immense figures ought to
impress the people, but they don't.
