tates the wealthy people with whom he gets ac-
quainted at the lodge, and bows with that SUI
perlor feeling that he is some punkns to his less
fortunate fellows
Away back in school days there was a fell
low in our class who just managed to pass the
necessary examinations to keep up with his class
until he reached the sixth grade. Then he got
stuck; he stayed in the sixth grade for three
years, and then quit school, He didn't go much on
book-learning anyway, and his father was pretty
well off He went to the bank one day, wanting
to get $40, payable to Cash" But when he got
there, he didn't know whether to spell it "fawty"
or "fourty"; so, like the printer in tht old days,
he put it in "fggers" Printers don't put it in
"fggers" any more. They print it "etaoin" and
let the proofreader guess what the editor writes
when the typewriter rent collector takes the ma
chine away to enforce payment of the amount due.
We would like to be wealthy if some one would
not suspect of stealing what we possessed.
Then we could hold up chin and pretend to be
smarter than are, We would buy our wife
new hat with fluffy feathers and fur boa and
send her out to the literary club to discuss the
conditions under which Buffalo Bill shot jack
rabbits on the praires how to solve the servant
girl problem. We might possibly move to New
York and try to cultivate the vernacular there.
For it takes purse-proud New Yorker to lord it
over anything in the west. They have had more
practice at it in New York, for they have feeced
the rest of the country so long that they think
they are better than the rest of US.
But we think we will probably continue being
an editor unless the manager fires us, in which
case might adopt some other honest means of
earning a living.

In my cabinet" he writes, "at the present
moment there sit side by side Catholic and Pro
teStant Christian and jew leach man chosen be-
cause in my belief he is particularly fit to exercise
on behalf of all the people the duties of the Office
to which l have appointed him. In no case does
the mans religious belief in any way influence the
discharge of his duties, save as it makes more
eager to act justly and uprighty in his relations
to all men. The same principles that have OBJ
tanned in appointing the members of my cabinet,
the highest officials under me, the officials to
whom is entrusted the work of carrying out all
the important policies of my administration. are
the principles upon which all good Americans
should act in choosing whether by election or ap-
pointment, the to fill any Office from the
highest to the lowest in the land"

WEALTH..

We never heard of but one newspaper editor
achieving wealth-and he got his money by quit
ting the newspaper business and starting out as a
book agent. Then he didn't acquire such great
amount as would entitle him to be classed as
wealthy; he only had more than he ever had be-
FORE which would not have to be very much, if the
general condition of newspaper men is good
criterion by which one newspaper man may Judge
another About the limit which the newspaper
man can go is to own his own home and type
writer, but mostly he foregoes both of these pleas
ures, rents his place of abode for quarter of his
salary and stands the typewriter rent collector off
until next week, when he knows the coal man will
demand about all he can scrape together next
week and that he will have to speak pleasantly
again when the typewriter rent collector hobs up
serenely on the next pay day. This being the nor
NAL condition of the newspaper man, any expo
sition of the subject of wealth must be by
negatlon. Eve trust the printer will not make
that word negotiation" for the newspaper man
never negotiates; he simply borrows.)
The condition of finances which makes what
the American people call wealth is not satisfied
until the unhappy woman has more money
than he or she knows what to do with That must
wealth is invariably unhappy At least, that is
the impression we have received from casual Ga
very casuaD acquaintance with wealthy people.
They are pestered by their poor relations, we
suppose is what makes for all this unhappiness;
but they have nothing on the newspaper man in
this regard, for the editor usually has few rela
tons himself. and he is not in the proper condi-
ton financially to relieve the distress, while the
wealthy person is.
When man gets little money he usually
gets hard-hearted like he was wealthy. 1t all de-
ponds how much he gets whether he is real
hardhearted If he is used to scrapng along from
one day to the next, like an editor, and some
windfall puts couple of hundred in the bank to
his credit, he becomes unbearable. He begins to
feel like johndee, though his actions mark him
complete dolt. He acquires complete con-
tempt for his striving fellows and his criticisms
of the unthrifty shows that he is a case-hardened
millionaire in feeling if not in purse He imi-

NIGHT RIDERS.

The Tennessee night riders in the tolls of
the law. In the brief period since the outrages
perpetrated by the ruthless marauders who have
been burning and numbering in the Reefoot Lake
region OF Tennessee more than thousand men,
including the governor of the commonwealth have
been engaged in running down the assassins. and
more than hundred persons have been detained
as witnesses or principals in the outrages The
militia of the state of Tennessee has been called
out and they have done effective work, showing
the determination of the state authorities to stop
the infamy. Confessions were secured from sew
eral of the gang and it is believed that evidence
sufficient to convict has been secured Trials will
follow expensive trials to the commonwealth but
it Is confidently asserted that night riding in Ten
nessee has been efectualy stopped.
The crime of arson and murder by self con-
stituted correctors of evils arising from the al
legged tyranny of the tobacco trust and the cotton
exchange has been very common in the southland
during the past two three years. 1t is only an
other form of lawlessness which no doubt has
grown out of the UNPUBLISHED crimes perpetrated
against the negro race, and which leads mis-
guided persons to blow up Mormon meeting
houses No matter what fanced wrongs it is in
tended to be corrected by these wanton crimes, it
may be laid down that disregard for law and the
fact that certain crimes go unpublished leads to
more lawlessness.
The wave of indignation which swept over
Tennessee and which led to the arrest of those
supposed to be guilty will have very beneficial
effect upon criminals who hereafter might have
a desire to take the administration of "iustice"
upon themselves. There has been some talk of a
conference of governors of southern states to
discuss these ourages, but if they will all act with
the rapidity and effectiveness of Governor I at
erson of Tennessee there will soon be no occasion
for such conference. 1t is to be hoped that
merited punishment will be handed out to the
guilty ones in the Reelfoot Lake district for the
moral effect upon others in similar unhallowed
conspiracies will be great.

IN CHINESE WATERS.

The visit of a part of the American fleet to
Annoy, China, was new experience, not only for
the members of the crews of the vessels, but for
the natives of the far eastern country. The Chi
nese never before had an opportunity to look upon
the great naval vessels of the western hemisphere
and it may be assumed that they felt quite as
much interest in the event as the sailors of the feet
had in the Oriental empire and its people. The
enterprising newspaper correspondent in the far
east. in telling of the preparations made for the
reception said the, natives would make it a real
chop-suey affair. and by other equally interesting
remarks which were intended to show the inferi
The Intermountain Catholic. (Salt Lake City [Utah] ;) 1899-1920, 1908-11-14

GRITTY of the Chinese as compared with tne 0"U
casian people left the impression on the average
| American reader that the affair would not amount
to much anyway; that the Chinese port was VS.
! tied more as a matter of convenience to the fleet
than to do honor to the people of China
! 1t is reported that royal commission APP
pointed some time ago to investigate the civilized
nations of the world as to their method OF gov
eminent has reported that all nations which
amount to anything are under constitutional
| form of government, and recommended the adop-
ton of a constitutional form of government for
China, and that the report has been received with
satisfaction, not only by the royal family, but by
the mass of common people as well. Further II
is believed that constitution patterned after the
Institutions of other countries will be promul-
gated in that country before many years and that
China will then come into her own.
The visit of the American fleet to Annoy, there
fore, should be looked upon as great educational
force for the Chinese, and the reception OF the
feet and the men should be dealt with more gen
erousy by the correspondents. If the reception
is in reality chop-suey affair, it will at least not
be base imitation of the reception accorded by
other nations visited. 1t will be the kind OF
reception that the Chinese know how to give, and
it will no doubt be quite heartfelt IN It's well
come as any other The japanese reception was
more western than native, but it was hearty. And
the tender of the good will of the American gov
eminent implied by the visit of the fleet to Annoy
is the same as that which was intended for Japan
and Australia The reception by China was no
doubt hearty and the chop-suey was no doubt OF
the best that could be produced in the country
1t was our own Ben Franklin who went to the
fashionable courts of France in the early days OF
the American republic and by being natural ere
ated world of sentiment for the struggling pa
triots of our own country. We trust the Chinese
tried to be natural, that their welcome was dis
tinctively Chinese, for in this way only could the
welcome from the heart 1t extremely
undgnifed of the correspondents to say anything
that would tend to hurt the sensibities of the
Chinese, and it would have been untrue to life if
they had attempted an imitation of the western
peoples, with whom they have but very limited
can and the Chinese nations have not always been
of the frendliest, but it is hoped the future will
bring about better understanding of the aims
and purposes of both The visit of the feet was
an suspicious occasion to inaugurate an era of
good feeling and sympathetic understanding be-
tween two great nations, one alive in the twen-
gloom of the dark ages.

A CHEERFUL FACE.

Whenever we long face, and by long
face we mean face not yard in length but a
face mile long in worry, fret and care, it just
gives us the "creeps" We once knew man who
such face when worries of any kind would
cross his path and we have no doubt this contin-
ual fretting would send him to an early grave
were it not for good friend who with rousng
slap on the back assured him that half the trou-
bles he encountered were of his own making
That friend was a wise philosopher though he
studied not AQuinas, Bacon, Huxley or the 9th
ers, and if you asked him what those men wrote,
he would probably answer Penny Dreadfulls"
He was business man, man of the world,
and a very successful man to boot He had his
uphill fights and just much troubles as fall to
the lot of an ordinary man, yet he always faced
those troubles with a smiling, a sunny face. I
sure that if that man saw his home and Of
fees topple down, he would survey the ruins with
a smile and just say, at might have been worse;
at any rate, fretting won't build them up again"
Fret and worry about the things of life, and the
looking forward to troubles which never come are
a disease and kill many as any disease we
know; and the worst of it is these things are con-
tagious, If neighbor John over the way makes
begin to do So too The Office boy brings him
wrong message, the coal does not come the pipe in
the back yard gets choked. Just you see him
when he learns of those things, and you would
imagine by the long face he wears that he was
condemned to marry straightaway one hundred of
the oldest and sourest maids in Utah And not
only does he long face, but anger, too,
gets the better of him, and everybody and every
thing that he meets when the fit is on him. he
relegates to the warm corner" Half an hour
afterwards, when his mind again assumes the
normal it is probable, if you are anywhere near
him, you will hear him say this to himself:
"Well what darned fool L have beenl Look at
all the useful energy have wasted over a storm
in teacup.'"
Dear friends, life is short and full of WORRY
enough without you making it shorter and more
burdensome Get that cheerful and smiling face
on you; it's the handsomest face | know, and |
am never tired of looking at it. None of us by
taking thought can add to his stature one cubit
That is, of us, by constant fret and worry
about the things of this world, can better our po-
sition. Say to yourself, when trouble of any kind
crosses your path and everything looks dark
around you
"Oh where's the good of repining?
For where there's will there's way.
The sun may be shining tomorrow
Although it looks cloudy today"
Don't be looking for those troubles which may
never come, for it's time enough to bid the devil
Good morrow" when you meet him.
