EDITORIAL CONFESSION.
Some of Those Things We Wish Had
Been Left Unsaid.

It's lots of fun to run a newspaper
Just to give an idea of the way
things go sometimes let me refer to
these incidents that were brought
to my attention last Wednesday.
Early in the morning a prominent
Jewish merchant called to protest
against the way in which a trifing
misunderstanding between a peddler
and a resident of Division street was
written up in Tuesdays paper. He
said the references in the article to
Shylock and the twelve tribes were
entirely unnecessary and were dis
tasteful to the Jewish readers of the
paper.
And he was right. My old friend
the late Harry Holzheimer, called to
see me once, years ago, about an ar
tlcle OF the very same kind. AS Il
tried to explain in both cases, the re-
porters who hurridly write up these
paragraphs have no thought of Of
tending anybody. Nothing could be
further from their intentions. They
simply want to write up the occur
rences in a bright, readable manner.
They haven't time to weigh every
word and syllable, and generally are
greatly surprised when their atten-
ton is called afterward to the OBJ
jectionable features of the para
graph.
or course, these features, as rule
ire cut out by the city editor or the
managing editor, or if they happen to
pass their eagle eyes unobserved the
omniscient proofreaders
nay call attention to them and have
hem suppressed, but about every so
'ften, on an especially busy day per-
laps, one of those things we wish {
lad been left unsaid," gets into type
nd in print, signally failing to swell |

A Pioneer Minister.

interesting himself in movement tc

Lee at Fort Hall. Lee was Metho-
dist minister and preached the first
sermon ever delivered by a Prota-
slant west of the Missouri river. at
the old Fort Hall site, on the banks
OF the Snake river, about midway be-
tween the towns of Blackfoot and
American Falls. The sermon was
preached on July 27, 1884. Fort
Hall was on the Oregon trail' from
the States to the Pacific. Our esteem
ed contemporary, the Blackfoot Re-
publican has lit of interesting his
@!ory in regard to Fort Hall.
The Rev. c. A. Edwards, the Meth
odist minister at Blackfoot, has
started the movement for the monu-
ment. 1t is well to chronicle the
events of these early days and we
hope the efforts of DR.. Edwards will
be successful. The information that
he has the cooperation of John
Brown, one of Idaho's most pros
porous and energetic citizens, almost
assures the success of the undertake
ing Scimitar.

Salt Lake, Jan. 25.-That the
Transmissouri Dry Farming congress

asm. Beginning with 2S2 delegates,

gress makes it's bow to Cheyenne,

The congress refused to be drawn
into the warfare that has arisen over
the forestry policy of the govern
ment, although an attempt was made
to bring the matter up for debate.
Technical points of great value /
have been brought out in the rela-
ton of actual experiences by prac-
tical men. Alternate cropping and
following of dry land was generally
endorsed. Deep blowing and fire.
uuent cultivation were insisted upon,
and one of Utah's delegates today
convinced the farmers that there is
more danger of overseeing than
of underseeding in planting wheat.
Forty pounds to the acre was the
exact amount recommended by the
speaker. Herald.

There Are Hundreds of Thousands,

There Are Hundreds of Thousands
There are hundreds of thousands
of children in this country who re-
ceive no humane education in either
the churches or the Sunday schools
which large numbers of them never
attend. They are soon to become
citizens of our country and hold
largely in their hands it's future des-
tiny. There is but one place where
these children can be humanely edu-
Gated, and that is in our public
schools, and no better way of doing
it has been found thus far than by
the formation of Bands of Mercy"
To the hundreds of thousands of
children of drunken and criminal
parents it is useless to urge love to
the fathers who whip them or to the
mothers who abuse them, and as to
loving the Almighty, His name is
seldom used by hundreds of thous-
ands of them except in words of bias
phemy.
But there is hardly one of these
children but can be readily taught in
our public schools to do kind acts
and say kind words to the lower ami
mails which they are constantly meet
ing, and which are always grateful
for every kindness shown; and child
rem so taught will soon find out that
every such kind act and word makes
not only the animals but themselves
and so will be laid the foun-
dations of humanity and true re-
Iigion in all the relations of life.
Among the sixty-one large public
schools which l once had the pleas
Ire of addressing in Boston, and the
many l have addressed elsewhere, |
lever found one that did not express
interest in what | urged in regard to
kindness to lower animals, and in

A Burbank School.

For long time people all over the
United States have realized the value
OF Luther Burbank's great work In
the future of new fruits and flowers
on the matter of preserving what has
been OF utmost Importance. 1t has
been suggested that in some of the
great educational institutions of the
country his work should be made a
special feature, AS was predicted
some time ago committee was nam
ed to have conference with Mr..
Burbank on the first of a series of
meetings held at Mr.. Burbank's re-
sldence. The members of this com
mittee are very enthusiastic over the
educational features of Burbank
work. While nothing is definite
there is a report that a movement
may be started looking toward the
foundation of an educational insti-
tuition in which the scientific part
OF Burbank's work will be thorough
ly explained and studied.
The Carnegie institute, at Wash
lngton, D. c., has placed at the dis
oosal of Mr.. Burbank $4,000 year
or 10 years to enable the extension
of his experiments along different
ines. Great good has been accom-
'lished by this, and at the present
line Dr. George H. Shull is gathering |

In recent issue of your valuable

IN this country, it is but fair of all

may have many national traits, some
or which are considered faults, they
are rarely moral towards. They
