of the consumers 1t will be supported
by the News" as this paper Is al
ways found on the side of the people.
The News Isl itself heavy
consumer and Is n. more fond
of paying exorbitant rates than
any other consumer. Besides, the
city Is fast obtaining reputation
for its abnormally high cost of living.
Any move to find a remedy for this de-
serves support. For our City cannot
develop as rapidly as it ought TO
under the prevailing conditions. And
we know of no reason Why the rail-
roads should not be willing to meet
every reasonable demand by the public.
1t would be to their own interest to
do SO.
1t Is well known that the question of
terminal rates to the Pacific coast, YER
sus those IN effect to interior terri
tory, has been dlscussJI pro and con
for many years. 1t is also well known
that the necessity for lower basis to
and from the coast in competition with
water carriers has been recognized by
the Federal courts and the Interstate
Commerce Commission. These facts
must be given due consideration II the
entire discussion is not to be barren in
good results and cnuse merely aimless
agitation.

THE WORD OF WISDOM.

The testimony OF WI Ting Fang, the
chinese minister to The United states
| on the value of the observance of what
! re call the Word of Wisdom, Is OF CON
siderable interest. He is probably the
| most popular and best informed China
man who ever visited the United States.
| The Ambassador on one occasion was
the guest of a New York food scientist
and partook OF q dinner consisting of
unlocked food. Several addresses We're
delivered on the occasion and WI Ting
Fang was also one of the speakers.
He related some of his experiences.
He said that the subject of diet was
brought TO his notice in the shape of a
book written by an American lady. The
author urged her readers to give up
flesh food, and also the use of strong
drink. tobacco, coffee and tea. WI
Ting Fang said he could endorse all
but the advice as to tea. the national
beverage of China.
At the time the Ambassador was, he
said. suffering from sciatica. He de-
3scribed the symptoms and the excru-
&ciating pain, and then continued as fol-
lows, as reported in The Nautilus:

+ but could not get cured. and so when
IL again read this book or this lady
friend of mine which stated that il VIC
gave upsfesh food and strong drink,
coffee and ten. ninety per cent of the
diseases that VIC are subject to would
be cured. i gave the matter Il great
deal OF consideration, and finally made
up my mind to give 1t trial. at
first reduced the quantity OF meat that
was in the habit of eating and after
time found that the pain was not so
severe when it came on, SO | abolished
the use Of meat. Now i find that

but ! feel stronger, healthier, and
younger in spirit. 1 feel twenty years

scientists are just beginning to find
out the truth of what the Prophet Jo-

we know Is correct doctrine.

THE CHRISTMAS STAMP.

One OF tho novelties of the year,
says the Omaha Bee, will be the
Christmas stamp, which is a happy
idea borrowed from the Red Cross
society of Denmark, and whose pro-
ceeds will be devoted to the anti
tuberculosis campaign in the United
States. The Christmas stamp was in
troduccd in this country last year by
the Red Cross society of Delaware.
which placed 10000 of tho stamps on
the market two weeks before Christ
mas, The supply was exhausted in a
few days and finally 100000 stamps
were disposed of before Christmas day.
With the proceeds the society pre-
pared an anti-tuberculosis exhibit In
ten days.
1T is proposed to issue these
stamps this year in every state in the
union, under the direction of the Red
Cross societies. The stamps are to be
sold singly or III sheets, like ordinary
stamps They can not be used for
postage, but merely as u message of
good will and an evidence OF dispo-
sltion on the part of the sender TO
help a good cause. Every stamp pur-
chased is n contribution to the fund
to fight consumption. the cause Of
more deaths than all wars, The
stamps cost cent each and their use
is certain TO become popular, purti-

THE UTAH INDEPENDENT.

The first number of the Utah indie
pendent, a new weekly published in this
city by Mr.. Fred v. S. Pect, has just
come 10 hand.
An editorial OIL the first page declares
the platform and policy of the new
paper. Among other things, it says:
This paper will tell the truth and
will speak it out. 1t will not mince
matters. 1t will have no friends to
shield and even no enemies to at
tack except as men make themselves
such by thir hostility towards fact.
Tho situation us the editor sees 1t. and
not as viewed by party, sect, CLIQUE, Or
society, this paper will honestly en-
deayor to portray. On all subjects OF
paper will be freely given, and this
freedom will apply to controVerted po-
litical, ethical, and religious questions,
as well as to the general truths upon
which there is, In theory ut least. sub
stantlal agreement among thinking
men. And whenever the opinions of
this paper are thus given on any sub
ject an equal space will be accorded
10 any person who desires to add to,
comment on, or present an opposite
opinion with his reasons therefor. Thus
Will the paper be truly independent
without being spiritless Indepen-
deuee does not mean apathy or neu-
hulity. We shall advocate the truth
wherever we find it, whether in the
creeds, the platforms, or the acts, of
churches. OF parties, of unions, or Of
men. ana shall refuse to belong to any
party or organization whatsoever fur
Their than 1t belongs to the right, the
good, the true, in human conduct"
We hope the Independent will be
able TO carry out the promises here
given. 1t takes considerable courage to
begin a new enterprise OF this kind In
City already overburdened with per-
iodical publications, but there should
be room for a good, independent week
". and we wish Mr.. Peet SUCCESSES.

TILE FACTS.

| One OF the Rev. gentlemen OF this
City some time ago went east and SIAN
dered the people of Utah, as some Of.
them are in the habit Of doing, His
MISREPRESENTATION aroused quite lit
tie resentment. The following letter
from a correspondent ut Grouse Creek,
Utah, states tho'facts;
Editor Descrct Ncws:I have been
reading a report OF an address delivered
by q gentleman who. after mentioning
the splendid organizations established
for the elevation of the young among
the Latter-day Saints, goes on to cast re-
Elections on the young people out in the
smaller Utah towns. He says; For
1t Is by their fruits that we shall know
them That Is right. We are perfect
ly willing to be measured by that STAN
dard as compared with our enemies
He says he cannot attempt to de-
scribe the social conditions existing in
the smaller towns. If he has not got
the moral courage to do this. permit us
to do so for him. After having about
thirty-six years OF experience out in the
country, / find the people as u rule
have no saloons. no questionable pleas
ure resorts. no red light districts, even
on a small scale. Our young people

their rosy cheeks. Yes, they can be
seen around the table in their happy
homes studying the Bible and their
parents assisting them to get their les
sons prepared for their different organ
izations.
"Hc says: THE happy, innocent
trusting hours OF courtship and clean,
pure love, are unknown. The country
is Just the place where these pleasures
are enjoyed to perfection. The thought
arises in oursinnd. What kind OF q
moral atmosphere and environment has
that gentleman moved in to cause him
to have such Il depr:ved conception of
his fellow men? We breathe the pure
mountain air. Yes, pure morally. Nor
mons and gentiles live together as
neighbors In peace and contentmcnt. II

is becausczwc love them and have con-
fldenco in them, for we have seen the
fruits of their advice. ] have told the
truth about the conditions OF the coun-
try people as q rule. The gentleman
says Salt Lake City Is an exception to
the rule because of the presence OF a
majority OF non-.Mormons.' Now that
looks bad, according to the view OF a
COUNTRY SHAYSEED.'"
Salt Lake City, notwithstanding the
numerous missions" Is the place
where the social evils flourish The
country settlements not yet reached BY
the civilizers are comparatively free
from the social problems.
