FOR AN ATHLETIC ORGANIZATION.

For some time there has been more or less
discussion OF organizing an athletic club, with
the Auditorium as headquarters. The man.
agement there is said 10 be In favor OF the idea
and TO have shown a willingness TO make terms
calculated to boost the proposition along. The
idea expressed thus far is to provide some re.
spectacle, wellconducted and fairly equipped
place centrally located where the atchested,
iabby- bodied, short. winded, no-account busl-
ness man and clerk can go each day and get
some of the exercise he needs The Auditorium
could be fitted with dumbbells, bars, rings,
patent exercisers, mats, shower baths and other
necessaries at comparatively little cost, and
VARIOUS indoor SrcTts could be instituted as de-
sired, The athletic Arrangement could be
handled in such way that it need not inter.
fere with the regular design Of the Auditorium
so for this reason the management can and will
make very excellent terms.
1t would be a splendid thing If the talk
thus far should result In definite action and
the institution of such athletics, for most Of
our business men and clerks need TO visit such
a place II the membership were limited
within reason and TO the class that is little in.
terested In smokers and boxing matches, 1t
would grow In popularity and become the sue
cess that should mark every such effort

Say Of Other Editors
The People On MARS.

What kind of creatures live on the planet
Mars? Are they round, with four legs and four
arms like those imagined by Plato? Have they
faces partly brass colored, and the queer char
acteristics Of the folk imagined by Swedenborg
as dwellers on the moon?
II. G Wells, the great Imaginative writer
and sociologist has tried to master the problem.
He has made picture OF creatures that he says
are a man and a woman Of Mars, and you can
find them in the mid winter number OF the
Cosmopolitan Magazine" just issued
Mr.. Wells imagines his Martians covered
with feathers or fur and says: 1T Is not less
reasonable to suppose that instead OF hand a
group OF tentacles or proboscis-like organs"
He imagines Martians whirlng about on a
singles wheel, balanced by a gyroscope.
A few months ago We should have laughed
at the idea OF Mars folk using the gyroscope to
balance them on their travels on one wheel

KEEP 'EM AT HOME.

Salt Lake paper suggests that Senators
Smoot and sutherland, Congressman Howell
and three or four others of 1.-THE Smoot push"
will be sent as Utah's delegates to the repub.
lican national convention. The three or four
Others would probably be "Fussy Jimmy" An.
deTson, Colonel Loose, VIM. II. Spry, Postmas-
ter Thomas, and de Guvnah with II. Bullen
Jr. and ex-Mayor Robinson, OF Cache, as second
choice possibilities
With Fussy Jimmy reegated to the rear
and the totem pole now wearing the gu.
bernatorial toga left out, the gentlemen named
would make delegation of which the state
need not feel ashamed, but will somebody
please rise and explain why most OF these gen.
temen should not be content to share with
their lowly brethren at least that portion of
the honors which are an expense rather than a
remuneration? Why should our senators and
congressman desire or have further honors
thrust upon them? And why should Mr.. Spry
be crowned again? Is not his handsome official
position at the hands of the republicans of
Utah sufficient for the present? And the gov
ernor-unless the national convention promises
to be short OF orators, why should he be sent!
And Fussy-but our words fail us here's Colonel
Loose has never had more than his share: f.
W. Robinson could not be bettered and men
less worthy than Bullen might be named-but
why the others?
Not because it's Smoot or his push" but
because 1t Is only fair that the honors should
be passed around tie, the senators, con.
gresham and the great portion OF the gentle.
men named above should have reserved seats
within the boundaries Of Utah during the ses-
sion OF the republican national convention.
There should be broadening out-there MUST
be broadening out " republicanism Is to re-
tain Its ascendency In Utah. In the dlstribu.
tion OF minor favors, at least, the faction In
control can always we'll afford to look beyond
its little circle and breed some good feeling by
recognizing men OF genuine worth who stand
friendly to The republican cause as whole
rather than the success Of q particular crowd
within party. In this connection The RE.
PUBLICAN suggests a list OF names from which
a splendid delegation to the national conven.
tion might be selected: Fshburn and Hansen
of Box Elder; Judge Rolapp, and Angus Wright
OF Ogden; w. s. Mccormick, George T. Odell,
George Austin, Judge Morse and A. c. Nelson,
OF Salt Lake; Colonel Loose, John Y. Smith
and Eggertsen OF Utah. Wesley X. Walton OF
Rich; John Seeley OF Sewer; VIM. Long Jr. OF
Marysvie; David Cannon OF St. George: Lor.
EMO Hansen. C. T. Harris and DR.. George
Thomas OF Cache. Among this class of men
there are many others who might we'll be hon.
ored, but of course all the good men cannot be
named here 1t is to be hoped that In the nam.
ing of delegates to the national convention fac
tionalism and ciquery will subjugate itself just
for once.

What young man should learn at college
Is q question that has sgitatcd many boy and
most parents. 1t Is interesting to note that
one writer presumes to answer the question
very specifically and both his answer and argu-
ment sound good to US. Prof William James,
writing In the February "McClures," says a
boy should learn, and that the aim OF educa.
tion should be to teach, 'how to know good
man when we see him." That Professor James
Is right will be readily conceded after one has
once asked himself the question: "Unless !
know the good and excellent In men how can l
acquire a standard that Is durable?" To quote
the learned professor:
ITO have spent ones youth at college, in
contact with the choice and rare and precious,
and yet still to be a blind prig or vugarian,
unable to scent out human excellence or to
divine 1t amid its accidents, to know 1t only
when ticketed and labeled and forced on US by
others, this indeed should be accounted the
very calamity and shipwreck OF higher educa-
"Our colleges ought to have lit up in us a
lasting relish for the better kind OF man, loss
OF appetite for mediocrities, and disgust for
difference Of quality In men and their proposals
when we enter the world of affairs about us.
Experiences In this might we'll atone for some
OF our awkwardness at accounts, for some OF
our ignorance OF dynamos. The best claim we
can make for the higher education, the best
single phrase In which we can tell what IL
ought to do for us, Is, then, exactly what said:
1t should enable us to know good man when
we see him."

entered into year ago by publishers

stipulated the shorter day will be

The court is asked to prevent the
defendants from attempting to enforce
the eight-hour day or from levying a

port a strike should one occur, and
from using $4,000 said to have been
raised by this means. Similar action

EQUAL SUFFRAGE.
A Topic of Interest to Trades Union
lists EVERYWHERE


lists Everywhere.
Trades unions have gone on record
as favoring equal pay for equal
work. regardless of the sex of the
worker, and several unions enforce
the rule, notably the printers and
cigarmakers. The American Fedora
ton of Labor has by resolution gone
on record as not only favoring equal
pay for equal work." but has gone
on record as favoring equal suffrage.
For this reason Lincoln unionists
should be interested in the announce
ment that Miss Laura Gregg, one of
the brightest and most eloquent of
the equal suffrage orators, will speak
in Lincoln on January 16. 1t is not
POSSIBLE at this time to announce def
ritely the place of meeting, but it
will be announced in ample time.

ORANGES to success-namely, strikes,

Mostly should we guard against the
human frailties which imperil every
enterprise, and which stand in the
way of all progress.
If either of us insist that this is MY
business, exclusively, acting as indi-
viduals and seeking only our indi-
vidual interests, then we at once place
ourselves outside the realm of mutual
helpfulness, and we become veritable

II the predictions of many Of the
