At the conclusion of the services
at.the::a e::armory, the long funeral cor
tage wound its way to the cemetery,
where Mi. Russell vas laid to rest In
the family lot.
John Russell was one Of the most
successful business men'of the state
being a shrewd, ..longheaded man
whose word was good and whose
judgment was generally sound.
Unlike many successful business
men ne appeared to give little per-
sonal attention to his business. A
friend who has known him for many
years states that his main success
seemed to come from his .shrewd
Judgment In she selection of his as
sistaDts. He always got good men
to work with him In his enterprises
and as . consequence he trusted
them Implicitly and paid little At.
tention to details Of his bank or
milling business. He was fond OF
Norwegian whist" and often spent
days il that amusement with ac-
qoaintances, appearing to forget that
he had any large business enterprises
on hand. He seldom vent to the
mills and only occasionally appeared
to inspect the bank affairs, yet al
ways knew the general run of the
business.
On one occasion . retail dealer IL
another part OF the state that had
been a good cutomes, ordered flour
put up in short weight sacks. Mr..
Russell hearing OF the order refused
to allow the mill to ship the order.
and further insisted that the dealers
account be collectedsin in full, aud all
further business transactions with
him closed. In less than year from
that time the dealer had been closed
out and his creditors mourned.
"Uncle John" resembled In some
ways the famous pictures OF Uncle
Sam. One day at Washington where
he was visiting and SEEING the sights,
he was noticed resting on the steps
leading to the capital. He was ao-
costed BY a.newspaper correspondent
who happened along .and was asked
II he desired to see any part OF the
building OF to meet anybody. Mr..
Russell said he would like to find
Senate, Hansbrough. After reaching
the senate anteroom, MI. Russell was
asked If he had his card with him to
send into the senator BY a page.
Uncle John didn't. have any card but
after q second took out Of his pocket
roll Of bank bills one Of which was
new bill Of the First National bank
of Valley City signed by John BUS
sell as president. He said, pointing
to his name on the bottom of the
bill. "This Is my card, take it to Mr..
II Hansbrough. The page soon had
the senator greeting the visitor and
it is related that Uncle John never
got bis s5 bill back again.

LONGEST YEAR ON RECORD.
Baltimore SUM-

The year B. c. 49, by order of Julius
Caesar the then reigning Roman en-
peror, contained 445 days.
To clear away all the confusion which
had previously existed in reconciling the
lunar with the solar year. Caesar. with
the help of Sosigenes an AleXandridn as
tronomer, undertook p thorough reform
of the calendar. He effected it bv max
ing the year now called 4e p. c., ''the yea'
of confusion" consist of AS davs and the
succeeding years of $50 days. with the ex-
ception of every fourth year. which was
to consist of 365. This method is called
the Julian calendar.
The number of days in the months from
January to December before Caesars
time had been, respectively. q. q. 81. %
81. @. %. 81. %, 81. %. %. These numbers
Caesar changed to 81 and 30 alternately
with the exception of February. which was
to have % in ordinary years and 50 in lear
years. In honor of himself he changed &c
July the name of the month that followed
June.
The pontiffs in applying the Julian cal
endar went wrong by inserting leap yeaI
every three years instead Of every -four
years. and this continued till the year
now called r. C., when the EmperO.
Augustus ordained there should be Il
leap year for twelve years, which made
leap year occur I'm A. D.
At the same time Augustus gave his
own name to the month following July
adding one day to it, which he took away
from February

struggling with the paper problem in
New York for the past week:
Resolved. That it is the sense of
this meeting that the law providing
for a duty on printing paper. wood
pulp and all material entering into the
manufacture of printing pape' be re-
pealed Immediately.
THAT the membership Of the asso-
citation pledge themselves TO adequate
assistance for legal counsel and other
expenses in assisting the government
in any prosecution that may be under
taken"
Within the year paper was quoted
at s1.95 a hundred pounds in car lots
at the factory; recently manufe ctur-
ers advanced the price until it is now
quoted at $3.50 TO S2.75, and some OF
the big mills declare their supply is
exhausted. 1t is only a coincidence
that the heavy advance in quotations
comes just when the semi-olficial an
nOuncement is made that the manu-
facturers have reached a trade agree
ment," and that one big company is
absorbing the Wisconsin and Michigan
mills which supply most of the west
eTn newspapers.
No more perfect demonstration of
the tariffs working as an aid to trusts
has been offered; and no consumers in
the country needed such a demonstra-
ton more than did the Republican
-
to which they have subscribed, they
are barred from opposing tariff re-
vision to correct such injustice as this.
and they cannot urge that revision be
postponed indefinitely as they have
been doing and as the administration
advises. Their resolution asks that the
duty on paper and its materials be re-
moved, not a year from now or after
the presidential election, but 'imme-
diately."
If Republican newspapers can urge
such action, why isn't it fair to the
very large number of suffering con-
suIners the country over for congress
to repeal Immediately the tariff on
other articles where similar trust ex-
tortions are protected by the tariff
schedule? If it is right to prevent the
exorbitant demands of the paper
makers by repeating the tariff CT pa
per, why isn't it right 70 relieve the
extortion practiced on millions OF other
citizens by trusts just as powerful and
| Just as conscienceIess as the paper
combination?
The whole country will watch with
interest the attitude of congress to-
ward the newspaper publishers; and II
their demands are granted and the
tariff on paper and it's raw material Is
repealed, the whole power of the ad-
ministration will not be able to with
stand the pressure of public opinion
crying for relief in a hundred other di-
rectiOns Tariff revision cannot be de-
! layed much longer.

AN EMBARRASSING QUERY.

A man who describes himself as an
Old soldier and lifelong Republican,
asked a Pittsburg paper wherein
Roosevelt's administration has been of
such great benefit to the common peo-
pie as is claimed" Continuing his
comment. he says: Some time ago
shout went up that the government
had gained a great victory for the peo-
pie over the beef trust. Prior to this
claimed victory porterhouse steak
could be bought for Is cents and Is
cents per pound. For some time I
have been paying % cents, and yester-
day the people were informed that al.
meats, except pork, also other necessa-
ries-not luxuries-would go up still
higher, and poTterhouse steak would
cost from % cents to 80 cents per
pound 1t has become a question in
my mind just where this thing is going
to end, and I am becoming a little
doubtful as to whether Roosevelt's ad-
minfstration has been of any real bene-
fit to the laboring class. am not the
only one. for I know of others who
think a change would be for the bet
ter; it certainly cannot be for the
worse.
q hope you viii throw some light on
the above subject that viii help your
readers to a better understanding of
the problem of daily living, which in
these days is very intricate indeed
Thus doing you will aid many whose
faith in the Republican party is be-
coming very much weakened"
The reply of the newspaper shows
that the old soldiers query was n
poser. The reply says the president is
not responsible for the advance in
meat, but it does not explain why such
a shout went up over the governments
victory in the packers cases If the
victory was to have no tangible eff
feet except an advance in meat prices.

derived by the plain people from the
policies of the administration are not
so apparent that the finger may be put
upon them

NEWSPAPERS AND THE TARIFF

Recently The Herald called atten-
ton to the predicament of the Repub-
liean newspaper publishers who are
confronted with the necessity OF fight
ing the tariff on paper, in spite of
their protectionist proclivities, or else
of submitting to genteel robbery at the
hands of the tariff-protected paper
manufacturers. Now it appears that
the publishers, Republican as well as
Democratic. agree that the tariff on
paper material must go, and they are
determined TO institute prosecution of
the manufacturers combination.
Specifically, this is the text Of reso-
lutions adopted by the association of
newspaper publishers which has been

|, DIsREPUTABLE GAME.

For cool nerve and cheeky assUmp-
ton. the latest proposal of the Salt
Lake Republicans is entitled to a spe-
cial medal. There is only one thing
(for Democrats) to do" they say
Help the Republicans beat the Amer
leans" and then reorganize their party
and send their traitorous leaders to the
rear"
While they were at it, why didn't they
propose that the Democrats abandon
their party organization altogether,
abandon all their political convictions.
forget the part the Republicans played
in the defeat of Morris two years ago,
forget their record of opposition to
Smootism in Utah politics and commit
political hari kari outright?
That is what it would mean for the
Democrats to fuse with the Republic
cans and it is about as dishonorable a
suggestion as could be made to an indi-
vidual or a party. Moreover, it ema-
mates from the last men who ought to
ask or expect favors from the Democra-
CIV. although it is natural for them to
suggest party betrayal for their own
benefit
Consider for a moment the signifi-
canoe of the plan and the morality of It.
Two years ago in the municipal cam
paign the Republicans succeeded in con-
vfncfng some Democrats that Lynch,
the Republican candidate, had chance
to be elected. There were not many of
them. but there were enough to give the
Americans a chance to slip into Of
fee by defeating Morris. In other
words, the Republican plea that they
could win made it possible for Thomp-
son to be elected mayor. The result IS
so we'll known it needs no comment.
Now, under almost exactly the same
conditions the Republicans ask the
voters whom they deluded two years
ago to be buncoed again by the same
kind of a political lock trick. The most
casual observer knows that either 40
ris or Bransford will win at this cleo
ton, and the keen, tricky politicians
who guide the Republican party here
know it better than most students OF
the situation. Yet rather than have the
Democrats win, rather than be deprived
of the political capital which Amer
lean" success gives them in the state
they are deliberately attempting to re-
peat the old game and elect Bransford
Now as to the morality Of the at
tempt: Political convictions may not
mean anything to the men who control
the Republican machine, but to the
Democrats who have remained stead
fast their political beliefs mean as
much as any other matter of convic-
ton and of honor. To betray the par
ty for the benefit of the Republicans
would be as dastardly. as immoral as
TO betray their associates in any other
undertaking where the triumph of con-
victions depends upon good faith
among men. To the Republicans such
a thing may be incredible, but to the
Democracy of Salt Lake the offices
the chance Of political gain, the small
considerations which influence the
machine in federal offices, offer no in.
ducement to sacrifice honor and con-
fess that principles are only meant as
a cloak for seoundrels.
The game won't work and the Re-
publicans may as well abandon theil
attempt to work it now.
