THE LESSER EVIL.

The expression, "Standpatter," which came into
general usage recently is not in line with the pro-
gressive thought of the day. No matter what our
opinion of the tariff question may be, in the
sideration of which the word came into tongue,
the impression conveyed by the word is one opposed
to reform. A standpatter is not reformer. He
wants to leave well enough or i'll enough alone.
The world never progressed under the rule of the
standpatter 1t is the eternal striving for some
thing that keeps moving on. When there is
nothing left to accomplish we will all be standpat
tiers and the millennium will be upon
The reformer, on the other hand takes cogni-
zance of the supreme discomfort of the people. The
advocate of progressive reform cannot be stand
patter, 1t naturally follows that in of the
movements in which the reformer is prominent there
should be an apparent tendency toward socialism:
but at certain stage the conservative and the rad
ical part company and the people, realizing that
the socialistic theory is not compatible with their
ideas of Amerlcanism, any more than is the theory
of the standpatter, follow the reformer into camp
and accomplish their ends in sane and consistent
manner.
Whatever may be the reasons for the growing
tendency to socialism, in all parts of the civilized
world it is certainly not the result of oppression in

TODAY AND TOMORROW.

There never was a time when the outlook ter
humanity more cheerful than it is today. Not
withstanding the spread of revolutionary theories
of government and the general discomfort among
the people, we can see no cause for despair. The
race is moving onward and upward, full of hope
and trusting in an.intinite God that tomorrow will
bring forth the solution of all the problems of to-
day.
Tomorrow is especially the day of the great
west. Much has been accomplished in the past.
The desert has been made productive and the great
mountains have been tapped and made to render
gold and silver and copper and lead to add to the
wealth of the world. Cities, towns, villages and
mining camps now dot the great empire which but
a few short years ago lay unknown, seemingly a
good-for-nothing waste.
Today is but the heritage of ten thousand yester-
days Far back in the past, the dreamers lived and
worked knowing that in the future lay possibilities
which could be known only to the later generations.
Today we live and work. knowing that the future
holds distinctly great opportunities have been
seized in the past Today is the day to work. To-
morrow is the day which buoys us up and fills us
with hope and makes our task seem lighter. Today
it is ours. As the golden months and years roll
into eternity and the sands of life are flowing,
today is always with us; every honest worker who
tries with loyal hand and mind to accomplish the
splendid plans of which he dreams sees in the day
to come his hopes crowned with success. The great
west is only in the early morning of wonderful
career. The miner has only prospected the hills,
Agriculture and horticulture have hardly passed
the experimental stage. 1t is wonderful country
today. But tomorrow. What grand opportunity
we have by work today to leave to posterty better
world and at the same time to enjoy the fruits of
our labors in the tomorrow

NO HOBBY-HoRsEMEN WANTED.

President Roosevelt's we'll known advocacy of
efficiency in the public service and the example lie
sets as an outdoor enthusiast have led to the pro
mitigation of an order that officers of the United
States army shall be tested as to their ability ride
horse on other occasions than parades on holidays
Perhaps he has noticed in command of men certain
officers who were in turn completely at the mercy
OF their horses. At least, others have seen grand
marshals of Decoration day and Fourth of July
parades who acted like they had never before beer
on a horses back. There may be field officers of
the army who have equally poor seats" Be that
it may, the president DEGREES that the horsemar-
ship of all officers must be tested annually bie
na!ly over course Of not less than fifteen mil 3,
and this at varying gaits, and presumably differ
ent animals. Further no officer is to be permitted
to absent himself from any practice marches of his
regiment.
As rule, it is probable that the army officers
entirely capable of doing all the horseback rid
ing they will ever be called upon to do. 1t is also
probable that the president could ride majority
of them to a standstll But there really does not
seem any reason why an officer aspiring to promo
ton should not have his horsemanship tested Just
as the seamanshp of naval officers is The presi,
dent is a great horseman, having learned the art
in the west, where horseback riding is probably rs
we'll understood as in any part of the world 1t IS
not contemplated that the army officers shall be
bronch5 busters but they will be required to know
how TO saddle and bride an ordinarily amiabla
horse, and get on and ride and control the mount
in manner which at least shows familiarity with
the animal

COAL.
the animal

1t is only little while ago that Utah and other
western coal producing states had an inquisitoria
commission which portended radical reduction in
the price of coal to consumers. The naughty rail
roads were fleeing the people, it was said. The
coal barons, it ntimated, had secured posses
sion of coal lands illegally and were waxing great
in wealth by robBng the poor consumer There was
much noise and clamor and wild charges and pre-
lenses that something was going to be done to
change the conditions as they affected the supply
and the price of coal Whatever may have been
the conditions before the investigation whether the
railroads controlled the coal output and price or
whether supply and demand and keen competition
were responsible, the impression was conveyed that
Salt Lake was surrounded by coal-momtains of it
and that the price asked entirely beyond rea-
son. If it was true at the time of the investiga-
ton that prices too high it is more true today
for the prices higher now, with intelligence
leaking through from high sources that they are
to be boosted still more. If the impression CON
veyed by the investigators that the people were
being held up was not true, why was the hubbub
raised? Was it for political effect and if So what
political party or politician has been benefited?
And if it was true, why are conditions worse now!
Why has no remedy been applied?
On either theory-that prices are too high or
they MOTTO be on the safe side next winter
cellar full of coal is the most tangible guarantee
one may have. Coal can be got now and nobody
knows what the conditions will be six months hence
1t may be false alarm, but if not untold suffering
will result in this city next winter Better look
over our advertising columns and place your order
with of these dealers. Do it now.

divorce courts, and a study of domestic quarrais
and wrangles amply demonstrate. How Injurious
70 society. of which the family forms the corner
stone is not this!
The second effect is to give grace to the mar
ried couple to bear with each others weaknesses,
which will be realized if husband and wife faith
fuI in the performance of their spiritual duties o
attain this happy effect both should profess the
true faith. A union of a Catholic with uubeEcy-
ers seldom fails to lead to brols and domestcc
happiness. Solomon with all his wisdom, wa,
duced bv his dolatrous wives to become an idoator
himself. ST. Paul would allow marriage "onlr iu
the Lord" Again. Bear not the yoke together
with unbelievers.'
The third effect is to enable the married couple
to bring up their children in the fear and love If
God But if it be fashionable in accordanca
with the notions of modern civilization to have
only a very limited number or none, how Fri, ing
them up in the fear and love of God! This secret
hidden and unnatural crime which the law cannot
reach is stealthiy and villianously undermining
ciety by tearing away its foundation, VIZ, the fam
lv. which consists of the husband wife and child.
The end of Christian marriage is the propagate
and perpetuation of the family but this is not ony
ignored but opposed. Hence the pagan attitude
of modern society which is rapidly approaching
the ideals of the Gentle world after its separation
from the synagogue. Hence, too the decay of and
Indifference to religion which cannot compromisc
with those evile that are opposed to Gods laws
and the perpetuation of the family.

PI E.

The purity and salutary qualities OF the great
American institution of pie have been impeached
by no less authority than the federal government
food experts Secretary Wilson and DR.. Wiley
have found by Investigation that the pie that
into trade and into the stomachs of large portion
of our citizens does not possess all the purity when
has made the pie of our grandmothers and moth
ers and wives and sisters famous a national
Wand. The pie of commerce has been adulterated
and degraded and all the sacred pie traditions. ex
tending from New England to all parts of the
tion have felt the blow of the food experts. The
rhubarb and cherry pie of spring, the blackberry
and gooseberry pie of summer, the apple, pumpkin
and mince pie of fall and winter as manufactured
in family kitchens may still be appetizing and
wholesome as before the pure food law went into
effect but these pies from the fOundries which sup
ply the trade may be of the vintage of 1905 1906
treated with small bit of pie preservative and
passed upon an unsuspecting public as fresh from
the bakeshop, say the experts. Oh, what perfdy
there is in commerce. that should seize upon one
of Americas greatest and most cherished institu
tons and subject it to such ndignities as adulter
alton and preserydtives
Here is indeed a subject upon which to build
political platform and organize political party
which would sweep everything before it. With
what grandiose eloquence could not the orator de
mand his pumpkin pie to be built from the yellow
pumpkin it grew in the cornfeld and his mince
to be free from any devices not sanctioned or used
by mothers. Here is one vote, at least for the
who will denounce benzoate of soda as pie
ingredient, look with alarm upon the rapid growth
of dyspepsia a result of the pie of trade and
commend to the happy consideration of the citizens
of America to satisfy their appetite such pies as
come from the kitchens of every good American
housewife. The American nation will continue to
eat pie, but let US have a campaign against the
travesty which is called pie for want of better
name

pretend to be of service will be found out some day,
