Teach Children POliteness

Teach children to be polite.
Teach them there is nothing
but goodness of heart of so
much durability as a pleasing
department. They will loose
the idea after awhile that it
is smart to be pert and boist-
erous, and take pride in being
little ladies and gentlemen.
Teach them to say GLOW do
you do?" or Good morning"
to everybody with whom you
are acquainted; never to con-
tradict, whisper, hum, beat a
tattoo with the fingers on the
furniture, o. loll around in
lounging attitudes in com
pany; to say Eyes ma am, !"
mo, sir, - What, ma'ma,"
eff you please and eek
cuse me-" if it is necessary to
pass before any one, or to
leave the table before the rest
and never to do any Of these
things for which it is neces-
sary to ask to be excused I'M
less it is absolutely unavoid-
able; not to toss things in
stead of hanging them; not to
listen to anything not intend
ed for their ears; not to re-
fuse to give the whole to a
visitor when half will not do.
A polite child is the best of
companions, but a rude one
is a troublesome nuisance,
and will find himself learning
at l8 or 20 things which should
have been taught him when a
child.
There is as much truth as
poetry in the lines:
Laugh, and the world laughs with you:
Weep, and you weep alone
And perhaps it is we'll.
There is inevitable sadness
enough in each lot without
adopting that of others.
Sympathy for real troubles
should always be given, along
with what what help is posi-
bic. But there are many
persons who, especially in
their own families, talk too
much of their own ills and
troubles, although they are
always smiling and genial
among strangers, and ever
ready with a pleasant "thank
you" for every service rend-
cred. If they can rise above
their dependencies in the
presense of strangers, with a
persistent effort they can stay
above them at home. till they
may in the end forget a part
of them, at least, in finding
how much better they are
liked by those around them.
If you would pass successful
ly through life, wear a bright
face and a pleasing manner

It is not generally known
that the custom of keeping
birthdays is many thousand
years old. It is recorded in
the fortieth chapter of Genesis
twentieth verse: "And it
came to pass on the third day,
which was Pharaoh's birth
day, that he made a feast I'M

Never suspect a friend OF
doing you wrong until the
proof of it is as plain and as
clear as the sun at noon on a
cloudless day, and them
yes, even then do not accuse
or censure until you have
heard from his own lips his
version of the supposed

friend to him he is certainly
entitled to that much Tor

SOCIALISM NOT ANARCHY.

IN DEFENSE OF UTAH,

We notice a local in the Newark, y,
j., Evening Star. which gives an ac'
count OF an address in that city by
Mr.. V. 5. Poet. of Salt Lake. on Utah
in reply 20 an i-"Mormon' lee
turer who mas made Il his business 10
defame our state wherever he goes.
Mr.. Poet paid special attention to
the story that Utah politics are Inilu-
enced by the church. The landsiidcs
from Democrats to Republicans IN
1900 and 1904 have been pointed to
as evidence Of such influence, But
MIR. Peet showed that during those
years there were greater changes IN
kansas Nebraska and Minnesota
though that certainly could not be
laid to the Mormons. Then he MADE
the following Offer. IF it can he
shown that Joseph f. Smith since ne
became president of the Mormon
Church has dominated or interfered
in any way with the political actions
of any individual or party, will give
81 600 for such Information.
Mr.. Peet also repeated his offer or
$1,000 for information proving that
any plural marriage had been per-
formed by sanction of the Church,
since tho Manifesto The latter Of
fer Mr.. Peet has made for years but
nobody has taken it up.
Both offers are perfectly safe Ihe
demagogues who go round the eoun-
try and falsely accuse the Latter-day
saints of all kinds OF evil deeds, must
necessarily confine themselves 20
empty words. When asked for proofs
they have none. They cannot even
produce n proof, when offered large
sums of money for one that is genu-
inc.
MIR. Peet closed his lecture by draw
ing the following comparison;
"only per cent of Utah are hit
crate, while 6 yer cent. of New jersey
could neither read or write, ana 0
Der cent of the people OF Juan oWhSu
the homes they lived In and only ~
per cent of those homes We're mort

AS TO EXCLUSION.

The san Francisco Chronicle MANI
tains that "aIl nations have an in
ailenable right to determine who shall
and who shall not. be admitted TO the
national territory" and ON that ground
II urges the passage by Congress Of an
act which shall deal comprehensive
W. with the question of the exclusion
OF Oriental laborers.
1t is undoubtedly true that each ma
tion has a perfect right to admit to,
or exclude from. it's territory whoever
It sees fit, and that no other nation
can dispute that right. But is that
tho only consideration in connection
with that important question?
The lady Of house also has tho
undisputed right to invite to her home
whoever she pleases, and to exclude
Others. But she knows very well that
that is a right which must be exercised
with discretion lest friends and neigh
hors take offense, and enmity is en-
eendered.
Against general exclusion laws, no
one nation can reasonably protest But
laws that discriminate OH account OF
nationality. are sure to arouse both
protest and retaliation. And this re-
suit must not be forgotten when the
question of right TO exclude Is DIS
cussed.
We, too, realize the importance OF
the problems created by the influx Of
laborers who cannot become citizens
gut IL seems to us that the solution
is rather in the opening up OF all the
world TO all the world. than In the
reservation of individual sections
against intrusion. In the natural
course OF the evolution of events, we
may expect that the dividing lines be-
tween nations and races will no longer
mark diverslties and conflict of inter-
ests. We may expect that pariia-
ment of man win be formed. TO repre-
sent union of interests. Everything
points in that direction.
China until few years ago was an
exclusive country. She had shut her
self up from the rest OF the world
She was satisfied with her own ancient
civilization. She had an abundant
reputation, and abundant resources. s.
she shut herself up.
But she did not gain anything b.
such a policy. And when the ties
came. she was not strong enough t
withstand the force from without tina
was employed 10 open hcr doors wide
Exclusion laws, when necessary
should be directed, not against ma
tionalities. but against undesirable inn
migrants OF all nationalities. Such ex-
clusion would not be liable to just crit
iclsin.

BRITISH EMPIRE NOTES.
Army and Navy Life.

When King Edward addressed the
rds-lieutenant of counties ut Buck
ingham palace. and gave sort of royal
blessing to the new military plans. he
referred to my Imperial Army" This
title had never been used before. and
as our ruler never uses words for the
mere sake of using them, we have been
looking for the hidden meaning. Now
1t seems there is some idea on the tapls
of linking some of the British regiments
with their colonial brethren, the two in
terchanging stations from time to time.
This would obviously be step in the
right direction, for II would lead to a
better understanding in peace, and
stronger cooperation in war. At the
present moment the king has number
