In the death of John E Hansen. man
aging editor of the Deseret News. the
newspaper profession suffers a serious
loss. and his friends endure a bereave-
ment not easily to be borne. Genial,
kindly, he had a wide circle Of ac-
quaintances who valued him highly. In
his professional capacity he was able,
a keen judge of news. disposed to be
fair in his treatment of events--a credit
to his associates and a factor for good
in the progress of the community. Even
in the bitter contentious of politics he
preserved the amenities too often for
gotten, and he leaves behind him no
trace of enmity or envy, nothing but
regret for his untimely death.
For years John Hansen had pursued
the arduous and sometimes difficult
tasks of his profession; he had just be-
gun to reap the pleasant rewards of
long and loyal service; life twas begin
ming TO shower upon him the fruits of
faithfulness and loyalty to high stand
ards. In the sunshine of prosperity, in
the very dawn of days full of happi-
ness and freedom from care, he was
stricken and taken from the field he
had won.
Such an end TO career so full of
promise is one OF the inexplicable mys-
teries of life. The only consolation to
his beloved ones is the knowledge that
he is beyond the cares and strife of this
world, and leaves behind him a MEM
DRY of achievement to be proud of, a
life of devotion to all that was good and
honorable. To have achieved this much
is a great work, thing to be remem-
bered gratefully in the grief and sense
of loss which follows his home-going.

money supply and extravaganza leads
TO undue accumulation of liabilities
without sufficient cash reserves; then a
period of liquidation, contraction of
credits. accumulation of reserves. a
time of individual economies and res
toration of confidence, followed gradual
ly by mounting tide of prosperity.
No currency system can eyade the
penalties of personal and national ex-
travagance. no production of metals
can outweigh crop failures over large
areas; but 1t seems reasonably clear
that the price the nation has paid time
and again for a contracted currency
has demonstrated fully the soundness
of Mr.. Bryan's argument that BIZ
metallic currency with its greater eles-
ITCHY and larger volume of primary
money would have averted some of the
worst crises and could be depended
upon now with more safety than single
standard currency.
Happily for the United States, its
tremendous mining resources, spread
ing from Arizona to Alaska, and Gov
ering all the western mountains and
their plains, offer substantial assur-
ance of an increasing output of gold
In that assurance lies the strongest
guarantee of financial independence for
the nation through whatever vicissi-
tudes the recurring cycles of. depres-
sion and expansion may lead it.

COR The LILLE ONES.

One of the most beautiful charities of
the city is the Orphans Home and Day
Nursery. which is to be given a bene-
fit in the Salt Lake theatre on We'd
nesday evening next in the perform
ance of The Toymaker's Dream"
The Orphans Home and Day Nurse
ry was organized in 1884 by Miss Eliza
beth Dickey, its purpose being to care
for children while their parents were
at work Eventually its scope was
broadened TO meet an urgent demand,
and il became a home-finding associa-
ton in addition TO its other objects
Since the opening of the home 2,149
children have been cared for and sew
eral hundred have been provided with
good homes. At present there are fifty
children in the home, besides those in
the infants ward which has recently
been added TO the work. The manage
ment of the institution is in the hands
of a board of thirteen women, whose
services are given TO the work without
cost, and who see TO the finances of the
home-a task OF no small moment,
since the regular running expenses
amount to 5000 a month, all of which is
contributed by the public and the
friends Of the children
To care for the helpless. give homes
TO the homeless and comfort the faith
erless ana motherless is a great work
TO do it as a labor of love, expecting
no reward but the gratitude Of the lit
tie ones and the consciousness of a
good work we'll done-this is the mis-
sion of the women who manage the
home. The public should, and doubt
less will be glad OF chance to do its
share toward the maintenance of the
home; and the opportunity offers in
this entertainment of Wednesday.
THE Toymaker's Dream" musical
play, will be given by children under
competent direction. and those who
have seen the rehearsals say the play
will be we'll worth seeing for itself
The Herald joins a host of good people
in Salt Lake in its earnest hope that
the box office returns from the benefit
will be as generous as the kindness of
the women who give so freely of their
time and money for the happiness of
the children in their care.

COLD OUTPUT AND PRICES.

Less than ten years ago the econom-
lists and financial writers who were
welded to the gold standard of money
argued vehemently against the effort Of
Mr.. Bryan and the Democracy to Sc
cure recognition for silver as a stand
ard of redemption equally with gold.
Words could scarcely express their
scorn for the contention that an in
crease in the volume of money would
bring a rise in prices and coincident
prosperity for the country.
Since 1896 there has been a remark
able increase in the volume of gold pro-
duction and the supply of gold curren-
cy. Broadly speaking, the amount of
gold in circulation has increased by 100
per cent; and now the students and
writer's are explaining the advance in
values generally by this increase in
the supply Of gold.
For instance. Theodore Price in
Moody's Magazine says that although
the supply of cotton has increased 100
per cent more than the demand has in
ton has risen 40 per cent. He at
tributes this phenomenon solely to the
augmented supply of gold Lecturing
before the school of commerce of the
University of New York, Professor
Tough declared the great rise of prices
of the last few years is the inevitable
result of the increased output of gold.
Professor Tough is not optimistic about
this condition because, he asserts, the
supply of gold does not increase even
now as rapidly as the expanding de-
mands of commerce require, and an
era of falling prices is apt to result
from this inadequacy of the money
supply.
1t seems that Mr.. Bryan's theory was
neither vicious or fallacious, though
doubtless the men who confirm by indi-
rection the accuracy of his contention
would be slow TO admit that he had
been justified by events of the past
decade. The history of finance and
commerce has been a repetition of
cycles; first a period Of expansion, dur
ing which credits gradually outrun

DRUG MAY KILL SOLDIER
William F. M'Cabe of Fort Douglas
Found in Comatose Condition
In Saloon

William F. McCabe, a clarinet player
in the Fort Douglas band, was found in
a cOmatose condition in a saloon at NJ
Il Commercial street, early this morn
ing He was taken TO the emergency hos
pital at the police station. where he is
believed to be dying as this item Is being
written. He went into the saloon where
he was found at about 1920 o clock last
evening; he sat in a chair and apparent
ly went to sleep. A few hours later eff
forts 10 arouse him proved futile and he
was taken to the police station. Police
Surgeon Samuel @. Paul worked over the
man, but was unable to revive him. The
physician said he was evidently suffering
from the effects of a drug, the nature OF
which he was unable to determine.
McCabe enlisted IN the band service
three years ago in St Paul, and had just
re-enlisted for service in the Philippines
AdJutant B. II. Wells was notified and
sent an ambulance from the fort to take
McCabe to the post hospital.

EoR CLEAN COLLEGE SPORT.

The authorities of the University of
Chicago struck solid blow for clean
er sport as far as that institution is
missed the baseball coach and the en-
tire team for participating in a piece
OF dirty" ball playing One man
played an outf1eld position and another
man batted for him throughout the
game The substitution was not dis
covered by the opposing team, and the
story did not leak out until hours after
the game was finished. 1t is pleasant
to be able to say here. by the way,
that the substitution availed nothing.
for the Chicago team lost.
But the university authorities are en-
titled to the highest commentator for
their prompt action in breaking up the
team and discharging the coach. 1t
was dishonest to the last degree to en-
gage in the substitution of one player
for another in direct violation of the
rules. That is the sort of work one
might expect from rOwdies. No one
expected it from clean minded. clear
headed young college boys. They can
not plead that they were unintention-
ally guilty of the offense.
They knew it was wrong. A substi-
tuition might occur accidentally once.
1t cannot be kept up throughout a
game without collision from every
member of the team. One of the finest
features of college sports in the United
notwithstanding been their almost
entire freedom from the faint of pro-
fessionalism. The young men who en-
gage in them undergo long and ar
duous days of training, they deprive
themselves of many thing they had re-
garded as necessities, and they throw
their hearts and bodies into contests
with all the fervor. all the courage and
all the devotion of a knight of old
doing BATTLE for the honor of his lady.
All this they do without recompense
except the winning Of glory for their
colleges and their universities. They
are. as a rule, very fine young fellows.
We like them, and we like college ath-
letics generally. President Eliot of
Harvard said in a recent address that
out of great good has come great
evil" He was discussing college ath-
letics, and the evil he referred to was
the evil of professionalism. DR.. Eliot

THE ENLISTED MAN AGAIN.

In replying to an inquiry from the
navy department as to why he exclud-
ed enlisted men of the navy from his
dance floor. the manager of a dancing
pavilion adjoining the jamestown ex-
position makes a curiously involved
argument He admits that he did ex-
clude the tars in uniform, but declares
that he had no idea of willfully dis
eliminating against the uniform, but
that prejudice on the part of other pa
irons was SO strong as to cause them
to threaten to withdraw their patron
age caused his action.
Then the manager added that he had
spent considerable money in having
prepared some white duck suits which
he would cheerfully furnish to the sail
ors free of charge If they change their
uniforms for them before entering the
dance hall. If this doesn't Indicate
prejudice against the uniform instead
of the men there is no such thing as an
indication. The man is the same.
whether he wears the naval uniform
or a white duck suit. If he is not d fit
associate for decent people in one he
is not fit associate in the other.
The offer of the white duck suits is
an insult to the sailors. ANY one of
them who would make the exchange
suggested is not worthy to wear the
uniform of his country and should be
drummed out of the service. And we
believe all the sailors will give this
particular dance hall wide berth.
They are not wanted there and they
know l.
The proprietor has perfect right to
exclude them. The place belongs to
him. He could keep the president of
the United States out if he desired to
do so. The courts have held that ad-
mission to places of amusement is op-
tiOnal with the prOprietors. One need
not be an Objectionable character. in
the common acceptance of the express
sion; one need not be an undesirable

happens not TO like the color of your
eyes or the cut of your clothes he can
keep you out of his place
There can be no argument on this
point, but il does seem that the pa

because they are in uniform does not
deserve much patronage from civilians
