CORRECTING HISTORY.

BY vote of the Chicago board OF
education, the validity is established
of the marriage of Henry VIII and
Catherine of Aragon. The same body
pronounces against the authority of
Clement VII, to grant a divorce to
Britain's most famous seeker of af-
finities. These decisions narrow APP
preclably the open field of historical
dispute and bear heavily on the moot
question of Papal infalliblllty. We
hope, says an exchange, the Chicago
board is not through with its labors
in the interest Of historical accuracy.
A world waits still in suspense to
learn beyond doubt the identity Of
the Man in the Iron Mask" and to
be assured that, despite modern de-
Tenders, Richard III was as black as
he mas been painted.

BLOW AT POOL SELLING.

The people of Spokane are always
ready to encourage and aid a meas
ure which is for the general welfare
of the city and which attracts atten-
ton to our resources. says the Spo-
kane Chronicle, but they are not
ready to oppose the passage of an
anti-gambling law, simply because
some bookmakers want races held
here with open betting on the re-
suits.
The poohooms have been put out
of business in nearly every state in
the union as pernicious and a menace
to good morals. OF all classes of
gambling there is hardly one that is
more attractive than pool selling, and
many a young man has been ruined
and has served time in prison be-
cause he embezzled money belonging
to others to satisfy his craving for
the excitement of betting on the
"ponies"
Spokane would be much better off
without any race track at all, than
to have one which would depend for
its success on the open selling of
pools.

PERIS OF EDITING.

It is the business Of newspaper
man to boom the city for all 1t Is
worth month after month, and then
see $50 worth Of printing go out OF
the city because 10 cents can be saw
ed by so doing. 1t is the business Of
the newspaper to give every local en-
terprise enthusiastic and frequent
"sendoffs" and then catch sheol be-
cause he failed to record the fact that
some prominent citizen has his de-
livery wagon painted. To subscribe
literally to every public, charitable
and church enterprise, advertise them
for nothing, pay his own way to ev-
cry thing and then be called prejud-
iced and mean spirited because a COL
umn Is not devoted to that particular
affair DO you wonder that there
are so many cranks in the newspaper

Ing mob,
Whether manifested by crowds or by

New York World, is mob violence is

The desperadoes of the unwritten

their passions and their egotism into
a code from which there is no APP

and scandal. They debauch the pub
lie mind in many ways. They in
vclve the innocent with the guilty in

they touch, and they attempt to poll
Lutte Justice in its very temples. OF
the law which they defy they beg a

OXYGEN IN ATHLETICS.

An English physician is expert
menting upon athletes with oxygen.
He believes that by reinforcing the
wind Of track performers he will
be able to shatter many sporting rec
ords. One runner brought before him
ordinarily runs a quarter mile IN 50
seconds reduced this time to 5000
after breathing oxygen for two min
utes.
Such tests are interesting physiol-
ogically. The value of the oxygen
treatment in practical use would de-
pend on the point of view. If the
record is anything to be considered
and 1t has to be admitted that the
modern tone with regard to races
favors this idea-then the oxygen
tank must prove a beneficence In
the athletic world. On the other hand
temporarily stimulating appliances
have no place in contests intended to
try the natural or naturally cultivat-
ed strength and endurance Of men.
Race-track rules bar "doped"
horses. Oxygen for human contest
ants is a "dope," though harmless.
The doctors tank ranks with the
windshields Of the troting course as
a purely artificial and exterior aid
to time performance. In real ath-
letics the work will continue to be
done by man himself and not by an
exhilarating fluid held on tap at the
post.

LOST SPANISH NINE IN UTAH.

II having been lost adds virtue to a
mine, the property on Currant creek,
now being opened by group of Provo
gentlemen. should be a very meritor-
ious proposition, says GoOdwins
Weekly OF Salt Lake City. 1t has
been demonstrated with volumes Of
carbonic acid gas and a wealth Of
historic detail that this ground was
extensively mined over by the Span
iards 125 years ago. and has been un-
known to the white men since.
Until four years ago it was incor-
porated within the boundaries of the
Uintah Indian reservation and became
subject to mineral entry only when
the reservation was thrown open to
