mayor OF the Utah town a year ago
last November defeating Oscar
Greer, one Of the best known citi-
zens of Spanish Fork, for the honor
He had ir majority, too.
His salary as mayor is 500 a

torman,
When official duties call Chs

WORRY, NOT WORK.

A Boston neurologist of large repute
has advanced novel theory about
nervous collapse, tased upon case
in his own practice. He relates that
a wealthy business man consulted his
physician for relief from nervous
breakdown. He was ordered to go to
Europe and rest, but it did him no
good. He was sent to rest cures and
sanitariums, where be was ordered to
do nothing which would tire him. He
was informed that rest was his only
salvation. He rested week after week
and month after month, and all to no
purpose. At last he consulted this
physician. who believed in doing
something. After studying the case
he decided that his patient was not
in need of rest and was not in the least
fatigued, but simply did not have
enough to do. He accordingly advised
him to go to work and quit worrying.
The patient did so and was cured. The
remedy aud its encouraging result only
20 to prove the truth of the old axiom
that work is the panaoea for all evils.
Cases of overwork, so often reported,
are usually cases of overworIy. Care
may even kill the cat which has nine
lives to mans one. but hard work
without worry never killed any one.
Work with worry may often produce
nervous collapse and often leads to
suicide, but good honest hard work
without excitement or strain, and per-
formed within reasonable time. is the
best of remedies to guard against ner-
vous breakdowns. 1t would be an ex-
cellent remedy in society. also, if So

nate from the payrolls all who fail to
meet the perfected requirements. Such
is the policy for which the Journal
has so often argued, and by reason of
which it regards the proposed advance
as completely justiiatle.
The responsibilities of teachers in
the public schools are almost equal
with those of parents. Upon the in
tlue. ces of the home and school largely
depends tho destiny of the republic.
With more than 80 per cent of the
people of the country receiving in the
public schools their sole educational
preparation of relief work, the enor-
NOUS responsibility that rests on the
teachers becomes apparent. 1t is a
responsibility that should not be COM
mitted to inexperienced and temporary
persons, in the school work for the
moment only because other employ
ment is not availab BILE. Only to highly
trained, highly interested workers,
proud of their calling and purposeful
in prosecuting it. should be entrusted

wise in its decision, and it will be we'll

times insisted, in order to attract the
best talent and secure the lest iu-

the only conditions possible for seour-

Portland has found the original man
Diogenes was looking for, and the man
is being regarded as a hero. This is
not because he carried the flag on the
battle field and waved it in the teeth
of the enemy, nor is be in line for a
Carnegie medal; he has merely asked
the county board of equalization to in
crease his assessment. That is more
glory than anyone else in Portland
has yet earned. To make sure that nc
mistake will be made, and that he will
not be under assessed, he has made
affidavit in the regular form and ap.
pended a note to the assessor asking
that corrections be made. He first
finds fault with the assessment of bis
money, notes and accounts, which
were placed at 81, 800 by the assessor.
He says the true figures are 81, 500.
