Tommy On Babies.

Babies are very interesting lit
tie animals, don't you think so?
There are many different kinds
of babies, fat, skinny, bald-head-
ed, boys, girls, brunettes, (Afro-
Americans), sand kids. Ali ba-
bies are fat when they found, es-
pecially when their pa is weigh
ing them. And what they call
the first born? Well, no fish
scales will ever hold him or it or
she. New babies always weigh
a heep more than the same lay
out of the butchers meat. 1
wonder why?
There is more doubt as to where
babies come from and how they
got here than there is among
apostles of the higher criticism as
to the exact location of the bad
place. 1 will enumerate some of
the theories. That they come
through the sky and are deliver
ed as an original package; that a
bird with a long bill brings all of
them; thai they are kept in stock
by the doctors; and quite a few
respectable authorities that say
that they are found in stumps.
like babies except when they
get big enough to bite. Pa says
it is wrong to hit one, but 1 don't

thousands of dollars yearly in
freight charges, ls great and de-
cided boom to the railroads. If
the 36 train loads of coal trans
ported by the Sprague were i'm
posed on the railroads in their
present state of traffic congestion,
they probably would be unable to
handle them. When it is recog-
nized that the Sprague is only
one OF a large number of tow
boats engaged in this coal carry
ing trade, the relief to the rail-
roads afforded by the riyer is OF
decided advantage, not only to
the steam lines themselves, but to
communities which are depend
ent upon the Pittsburg and Ohio
Valley fields for coal. For if the
railroads were forced to handle
the coal, deliveries undoubtedly
would be months behind.
This phase of the matter was
touched upon by Representative
Ransdell, of Louisiana, in his
searching speech on the river and
harbor appropriation bill in the
last session.

1t is not the site of a town, but
its character that makes it de-
sirable place to live. A live pros
porous town is a desirable one to
live in, and town may prosper
and yet be small. Every citizen
in a town should be interested in
its prosperity. One of the best
ways to help a town is to speak
we'll of it. 1t is truepatriotism to
stand by your own town, and in-
terests that effect the town should
effect every citizen.

West Virginia's Increase in Popu
lation Large.

The census bureau has com.
pleted figures showing the increase
in population in all parts of the
union since 1900 and soma inter-
esting comparisons are made which
show the state of West Virginia is
in the front ranks of these states,
showing large increase in the
number OF inhabitants.
According to the figures at the
census bureau West Virginia in
creased in population from $685..
800 in 1900 10 l,056,S05 in 1905,
an increase of 98.005, percentage
sf increase 1912. While this in.
crease is not as large as that in
some other states, it is second
largest, being surpassed only by
Texas in The southeren tier OF
states, with which West Virginia
is included. 1t is thought that
the figures for West Virginia are
extremely low as many of the cities
of the state have made large gains,
and the census bureau has failed
to secure accurate information in
this direction.

RESOLUTION is WITHDRAWN
Attempt to Censure Senate fol
SmOthering Smoot Memorial
Abandoned.

The slight differences that have existed
between the house and the senate as the
result of the Reed Smoot joint resolution
held prominent place in the house pro-
ceedings yesterday. After it was all
over, Mr.. Thompson OF Willard county
withdrew the resolution which had caused
all the trouble, the vote of the house en-
aiding him 50 to do
II. R No. s. introduced a few DAYS ago
among other things declared the failure
OF the senate to act upon Q concurrent res
olution ccngratulating Senator Smoot
upon retaining his seat i'm the upper
branch of the federal congress and like
wise congratulating the people of Utah
was tantamount to discourtesy. Yester-
day the resolution was the special order
for O'Clock. Mr.. Thompson stated that
he desired TO withdraw the resolution and
that he owed an apology to the house for
taking up time which should be devoted
to necessary legislation.
Mr.. Thompson explained that at the
time of the passage of the Smoot reso-
luton it had been given wrong desig
nation by the officers of the house and
had been sent to the senate not legally
perfect. In the rush Of business the point
had been overlooked.
. At the same time, Mr.. Thompson be-
ueved that the word "unpatriotic" was
the proper term to use as applied TO the
senate. Moreover, he said, the senate
had treated the house with contempt. At
the conclusion of Mr. Thompson's re-
marks. which were extended, permission
TO withdraw was granted.

LAWRENCE HAS
ANTI-PASS LAW
Salt Lake Senator Expected to
Introduce Measure
This Week.
HOLLINGSW0RTH HAS IDEA
WOULD WITHDRAW MILEAGE
FROM PASS HOLDERS.
HOLLINGSW0RTH HAS IDEA

Senator George n. Lawrence of Salt
Lake has prepared an anti-pass lay which
he is expected to spring on the senate
some time this week. probably today.
The law follows closely the provision
of the new federal railroad law and pro-
hibits the issuance of state passes to any
but employees of the railroads and af-
flicted persons.
As it is late in the session it is not
thought probable that the measure will
receive serious consideration. 1t may pass
the senate but will probably meet an
untimely fate in the house by being
buried under the mass of pending leg
islation.
Senator Hollingsworth of Ogden. how
ever. has a measure which may receive
favorable consideration. He would pro-
hibit the collection of mileage by all
public officials who travel on passes. At
present it is the custom of legislators.
sheriffs and other officials to travel long
distances in the performance of their
duties and charge up their mileage, which
often amounts to a large sum. when in
reality they are travelling on a pass re-
ceived by virtue of their official posi-
ton. Senator Hollingsworth argues that
such a law would save the state consid-
cradle money.
