Facts About The
Great Majestic Range

It is the only range in the world made OF
MaleableA and Charcoal Iron
It has, beyond any question Of doubt, the
largest and best reservoir
It uses about half the fuel used on other
ranges and does better work by far
The Majestic All Copper Nickeled Reservoir
heats the water quicker and hotter than any
other. It is the only reservoir with a removable
frame.
The Charcoal Iron Body of the Great Ma.
iestic Range lasts three times as long as a steel
body
Being made OF non.breakable material, there
is practically no expense for repairing the Ma

AS for baking. it is perfection; not only for
a few months, but for all time to come

times as long as a cheap range. but 1t doesn't
cost three times as much.

FIGHT FOR COPYRIGHT.

There is q controversy again before
Congress as to the right OF the vendors
OF what has been called canned mu-
Sic to appropriate tho compositions of
other people and sell them in the form
OF perforated rolls for mechanical
players, or monograph records.
When the copyright bill was framed
the monograph. gramophone and au-
tomato plano, were unheard or I'M
thought of, and no specific provision
for the protection of the composer
against them was made in the law
Since then they have grown with start
ling rapidity, and have helped them
selves at Will to the successful pro-
auctions of the composers brains. 1t
is no more than right that the manu-
featuring of such instruments should
pay reasonable royalty for the COM
positions they appropriate. Senator
Kittredge's bill provides for a roy
atty of few cents to be paid on each
record or perforated roll manufactured.
Not an extortionate rate when you con-
slider that these run in price from so
cents TO SO each. To further this end
the composers and authors have formed
themselves into a league officially
called '-The Authors and Composers
Copyright League of America and
are prepared to fight to finish.

THE MESSAGE.

The subject OF most interest to the
taxpayers--the financial status OF the
City--was omitted from the Mayors
message. He stated that he was not
in a position to submit financial
statement and gave as his reason Tor
this that "all departmental reports
have not been submitted to me he
added that he would probably" sub
mil statement at later date. 1t Is
to be regretted that the financial
accounts are in such shape that, ait
or a years work of expert accountants
al an exorbitant price, the Mayor does
not know, on the 18th of January, what
the financial condition of the City was
st the close OF the preceding month.
The Mayor recommends higher water
rates and an addition to the police
force. He promises that the Sunday
closing policy of Mayor Thompson VIII
be continued, whatever that may mean.
He congratulates the City son being
free from the more serious crimes,
and on its healthful conditions. There
is some food for thought In the para

anyone acquainted with the actual con-
ditions In the City will naturally won
der what the Mayor really means.
There Is one Recommendation, how
ever, which all patriotic citizens Will
heartily endorse. and that is that bad
feelings be forgotten and that all unite
in the effort to make the City "a very
desirable place to live in" All patri-
otto citizens. of all parties and creeds,
will hope that this suggestion be car
ried out But It takes more than good
wishes to do that
We have disappointed politicians who |
I've but for revenge and gloat over |
strife. We have individuals who make |
/ living out of agitation, and to whom |
BAD feelings between neighbors is bread |
md butter. We have bigots who hope
% gain victories over an unpopular
church by political means. For these
'easons to establish good feelings and
unity means arduous work, well
damned. Good wishes alone are nom
productive of results. 1t takes patr-
tic work. unselfish effort, persistent
md well directed. We hope the Mayor
will do his part toward the realization

FRIENDS OF LABOR.

We are in receipt OF a rather violent
ton to something he says appeared IN
local item of the News" relating to
the strike in Goldheld. The real
ground of objection is not very clear
from the letter but the writer does not
conceal that he, like thousands of ota-
ers, is thoroughly disgusted with the
existing social conditions under which
so many are ground to pieces between
the upper and the lower milestone. No
thoughtful person wonders at the pre-
vailirg dissatisfaction. Society Is out
of joint. The social problem is loom
ing up before us with ever-increasing
distlnctness. Before long the ship OF
state will have TO be steered in another
direction, or it may ground on the
rocks ahead.
This lis nothing new to those familiar
with the history of the Church. 1t was
one OF the grand ideas OF Joseph, the
Prophet, that the world could be saved,
socially, only by the establishment or
the United Order. ut Is not given"
he said, that one man should possess
that which is above another" But he
understood. what experience has taught
the world, that such an order could not
remain without religious foundation.
To him the future ideal was, Every
valley shall be exalted, and every
mountain and hill shall be made low"
He foretold the leveling of classes, the,
Placement OF class distinctions, The
adjustment of fake pretenses ana
crookednessr as result OF the unvei-
ing of Gods Zion upon earth among
the children OF men. He fought the
battles of the laborer and laid down
his life for the principles OF justics,
equality, and brotherhood And those
principles VIII yet triumph. though the
gates OF hell are wide open and pour
ing forth their contents.
But he did not preach social re-
demption through Industrial co-opera-
ton alone, or through the specialization
of the state. He taught that unity and
equality could be attained only through
love OF God and humanity. Had not
cruel persecution-the common lot of re-
formers--been his portion and that OF
the Saints after him, necessitating u
struggle for existence instead of devel-
opment, his ideal would have been very
much nearer it's realization than II is,
But 1t VIII come
In the meantime, we believe we can
say that ngItators who know Of no

protest against war between nations
cannot consistently move for class war,
with all attendant evils. What 10

ployes. The laborers are numerous

JAPANESE WAR RUMoRs.

Strange to say, the discussion as to
the probability OF war between this
and Japan continues In the
press. both here and abroad. notwith-
standing the pacific assurances of the
official representatives of the two
countries.
Maxim. the inventor of deadly war
implements, is one of those who are
alarmed. He is quoted as having said
that the Japanese are preparing to
fight. and that they may strike us at
any moment"
The reply to this prediction is that
there is no casus belli and that Japan
has not the money with which to pro-
seeute a war with the United States.
The traditional friendship of the two
countries is also held in remembrance.
There is, II is said. an increasing In
terchange OF business. between the two
countries Japan has just sent the
name of her new Ambassador and the
state Department has in reply an
nounced that II is pleased with the Sc
lection, For fifty years and more ia
pan and the United States have been
close friends. This country opened
Japnese doors to the world. Why,
then, this war talk?
But this reply does not satisfy the
alarmists. They say that. a few years
ago. when German officers FIRST an
nounced that Japan was preparing for
war with Russia. the idea seemed pre-
posterous. Russia was then consid-
cred one OF the strongest powers both
on land and sea But Japan quietly
prepared for the attack. all the time
protesting her pacific intentions.
AS for a casus belli. Japan may find
one in the Portsmouth peace, BY that
agreement japan was deprived OF her
Indemnity ON which she had counted TO
pay her war debt, and she may possl-
bly, blame our government for that loss,
Russia stepped in between China and
Japan after the Chinese war and de-
prived the victor OF some Of the os-
sential fruits OF victory. That was
the underlying motive for the attack
upon Russia japan may have a SIM
liar grievance against us, since the
