ASK GOVERNOR TO JOIN.

The Peace and Arbitration Society of
the United States has extended an in
vitation to Gov. John G. Cutler to be-
come member of that organization.
The society fnvors adequate armament
on the part OF this country, while 1t is
working for peace among the nations.
It is deemed iradvisable for any one
country to reduce the size OF army
or navy. with the expectation that
others will fall into line. The sentiment
against war, it is thought, can best be
waged while the country advocating
peace is prepared for war. The ideas
advanced BY the society are endorsed
by Gov. Cutler.

ACTION MUST BE IN EQUITY.
Judge Marshall Rules OH Action
Brought 10 Cancel Naturalization.

+
Judge John a. Marshall of the United
states court this morning handed down
q decision In the case OF the United
states against David r. Brown. In
which 1t was sought to cancel the GER.
tihcate OF citizenship procured by
Brown in 1891. The decision was to the
effect that equity proceedings must be
brought In the case before the certifi-;
cate can be cancelled, and that 1t can
not be done by proceeding at law.
The complaint vas filed by Dist. Atty
FL q. Booth on July 49, 1908. The facts
of the case only then came tn light
through the application of the defend
ant for a civil service eXaminat ton, and
when 1t was learned that he was Il nat
uralzed citizen the date of his papers
was brought into question. and tho en-
tire proceedings We're investigated.
1t seems that Brown, who is q native
of Great Britain, came to the United
States.an the year 1886, at which time
he was q years of age He left Eng
land on the 26th of June, 1885, and on
April q, 1891, he applied to the Third
district court In the Territory of Utah
and secured papers declaring him a
citizen. H. G. Mcmillan was then clerk
of the court, and he transacted the
business and Issued the papers to
Brown. uDon the latter's affidavit that
he had been in. the United States the
required length of time. or five years.
1t was afterwards learned that no
had made his affidavit three months
too early, and had he waited until
July he would have been entitled to
the papers.
These facts are acknowledged by Mr..
Brown; Internationally he made the
affidavit before he should have done,
and was willing to have a default de-
clarcd as to tho papers and begin all
over again. The proceeding was there
fore brought In law, but Judge Mar
shnll's decision dismissed the action
without prejudice as to the law pro-

Strike a Balance.

"In our small journey through life
we run into many dangers and tempta-
tions, and it behooves everybody who
wants to make the journey successful
ly and with the greatest happiness to
look well to the conduct of his affairs, !"
says the editor in the Farm and Fire
side. ''The difficulty with most of us
is to learn to live sensibly and sanely.
We are in great danger of going to ex-
tremes The thing is to strike an ef-
fective middle course. We want to do
great deeds; to accumulate money; to
reform somebody or something. Now,
it is certainly wrong not to be awake
to our privileges and opportunities for
work, and not to get joy out of doing
something that will make the world
happier. But there is time to loaf
and be glad, also. There is virtue in
being happy citizen, as well as an ac-
tive one. Life is serious, but not so
serious that we need go about with a
sour countenance and a book of rules.
The wise man is the one who hits nice
balance in his affairs, who is neither
wearisomely strenuously nor tlaccid
shirk."
