How Sickness Comes.

Most fatal sicknesses have their beginnings in a simple "cold" or ir q slight cough.
 Consumption first shows in a cough.
 Bronchitis is accompanied by a cough.
 The first stage of La Grippe is a "cold."
 Pneumonia is preceded by cough and violent "cold."
 Croup-that terrible malady oi childhood-comes solely as a condi. tion of "cold."
 Rheumatism generally follows neglect after exposure and the con. sequent "cold" or cough.
 Kidney Troubles, including Brlght's disease and other fatal com. plications, are often due to a "cold' which settles in that region.

THE PRICE OF COAL.

George W. Lawrence, state senator and member
of the commission appointed by the last legislature
to investigate the coal situation in Utah and to
report its findings to the next legislature, in in
terview last week announced emphatically, almost
unqualihedly that the present price of coal in Salt
Lake is too high. OF course, every purchaser and
consumer of coal is of the same opinion but the
statement of Mr.. Lawrence is supposed to be based
upon careful Investigations into the cost of pro-
ducing, transporting and local delivering of the
product and carries with it an authoritative
weight which cannot be brushed aside as the mere
assertion of belief by ordinary citizen may be-
Mr. Lawrence says coal ought to be delivered to the
people of Salt Lake for So, or 1926 at the most.
The present delivery price is $575-iust So so more
than fair price according to the opinion of a man
who has presumably studied the question in all its
phases.
From published interviews with local dealers
there does not seem to be an entire agreement re-
specting the present price of coal with the state
ment credited to Senator Lawrence. The delivery
men have been cut % cents on the ton, which cut
has been followed by similar reduction in price to
the consumer The retailers contend that their
margin of profit is too close to warrant any redlIc
ton on their part, and point out that any further
reduction In price to consumers must come from
the coal mine owners and the transportation COM
panies. Confronted with the proposition to redu e
transportation rates, the railroads claim only a
just margin of profit To substantiate their claims
they may point to the almost constant effort to
harass them In their operations not only by the I'M

THE MEN BEHIND THE GUNS.

Almost coincident with the sailing of Uncle

Lord Charles Beresford of the British navy took
out old hulk, the Hero, rugged up with dummy
men and everything to make the test seem realistic

boats loose upon her. just to see what could be DONE
and incidentally, suppose, to show the Yankee
sailors that the sons of Briton could shoot too
The result of the experiment as told in dispatches
very gratifying to Lord Charles and the Brit
ish admiralty At distance of 5000 yards the sig
nal was given to open fire upon the doomed boat
which could be then seen bobbing like cork off
the horizon. The Hibernia and the Dominion
obeyng the signal to fire. let loose with their u
inch and 6-inch guns. The range was found with
three shots, and in five minutes the Hero was seen
to be listing heavily and settling at the STERN where
she had been struck the water line and torn
through and through. Shell after shell burst in the
doomed ship, tearing the rigging and tunnels from
their place and scattering the dummy men and
blowing everything movable overheard In only
few minutes the proud battleship was re-
duced to uselessness. No one could have remained
alive upon the Hero under the CALLING rain of shot
and shell from the attacking boats
The test we must concede shows excellent marks
manship of the British gunners, but we nave no
doubt each and every battleship in the fleet of Adj
miral Evans could duplicate the work of destruc-
tion The test also shows the terrible efficiency of
modern naval machinery. That steel ar1nored
boat approximately five miles away can be literally
torn to pieces by shot and shell of modern bat
tleship shows the need of rapid and accurate work
on the part of the man behind the guns. The Brit
ish gunners found the range in three shots In
real battle, to defeat the British fleet the enemy
must find the range the first time The machinery
of may be perfect, but results depend upon the
skill and accuracy with which that machinery is
handled. One of the objects of the cruise of Adj
mira Evans feet is to promote that skill and ac-
curacy which will permit the gunners to land the
first shot in the right place. The American sailor
boys have been noted for doing just such things.
and it is proposed to keep that reputation should
occasion arise to demonstrate it again.

positon of structures by legislative enactment and
the ever-increasing burden of taxation, but by the
thousand and one suits, worthy and some
without anv standing against which the railroads
must defend themselves. 1t has always been
favorite method of providing funds for the conduct
Of state affairs to tax the corporations for it. Tax
the railroads. tax the life insurance companies
tax the mines Tax anything which will produce
the revenue. Of course, the tax is an indirect tax
upon the people, who, in buying ton of coal, pay
q portion of the price to the railroad company
which transported that coal from the mine tor no
other purpose than to defray the increased cost OF
operation represented by the increased tax levied
to support the state. 1t is not fair to say the cost
of transporting coal from the mine is represented
only by the cost of haulage. Indeed it seems that
the actual cost of haulage is but the beginning OF
the cost of operation, considering operation cX-
penses to cover all the minor details which In the
aggregate no doubt double, perhaps quadruple the
actual cost of running the cars to and from the
mine. A cent mile per ton may be talr allow
ance for all this expense it may represent only
the actual cost of bringing the coal from the mines
to the city, without considering even the return OF
the empty cars to be reloaded.
Then the proposition is placed before the mine
owners. 1t is asserted that $1.35 per ton is just
price for mining and placing coal aboard cars at
the mine 1t may be. Every incentive Is held out
to mine owners to produce coal at a minimum eX-
pense There is no state control limiting profit on
production thus making large expense an item OF
economy. On the contrary, there is certain
amount of competition which makes economical
production an essential to prosperity. II the state
controlled the mines, to so limited an extent
as to dictate the percentage OF profit there would
be no reason to provide for economical production.
because the owners could draw ont only small per
cent anyway. As long that percentage of profit
was maintained, any greater earning would be
direct loss to the producers.
When we have to buy coal, feel certain we
have to pay too much for it-perhaps much too
much as Senator Lawrence says. But when we en-
deavor to place any responsibility for the high
prices calmly and dispassonatey viewing the stu
alton we are impeed to the belief that the people
of Utah, in common with the people of the whole
country, have made high prices for coal necessary
by exacting high prices for everything else with
which they have to deal. We pretend that silver is
worth 81 an ounce, so must pretend that coal is
worth 1915 ton.

MINE HORRORS.

Since 1856, the average number of deaths by
accidents in coal mines has been 1000 year. In
the United States alone, in 1907 there we're near
ly $50, without counting those disasters which
wrought such havoc in the coal mining regions of
the east during the closing months of the year. the
other countries of the world adding to the number
enough to make the total for the year pass the
1000 mark or more than twice the average of the
past half century. Coal mining always has been,
and probably always will remain hazardous occu-
patton, but there seems in the figures for the past
year, when compared with the figures of previous
years, to have been a greater laxty in the reason
able precautions to prevent accidents or that the
mines have reached that period of development
when hazards are more numerous and of greater
moment.
Experts employed by the United States govern
ment declare fatal mine explosions are largely due
to ignorance laxity. If the conclusions of the
experts are right, here is tangible thing on which
to base future action. If there is innocent igno-
rance among mining operators, they may be taught;
if there is criminal neglect among them they should
be punished.
The mine disasters which marked the closing
days of 1907 have caused the public mind to be-
come somewhat calIOuS. 1T mas seemed to be part
of the coal mining business and bound to come in
the ordinary course of events. But the department
of commerce and labor has been making care
full investigation into this subject and its report

American coal mines exceeds by three times that of

is intended to disseminate reliable information on

few years will in measure be overcome by eff

but let those who are Indifferent to the truths and

RESOLUTIONS.

In taking upon ones self at the beginning of a
new calendar year few reasonable resolutions to
do refrain from doing certain things, it is well
TO look back to the beginning of 1907 and question
ones self just what happened to resolutions of pur
port similar TO those under consideration.
How did the solemn promises you made yourself
at that time hold out? Have you made confession
of the things in which you failedl Did you profit
physically, mentally, morally religiously, by the
fight you put up to free yourself of that which you
promised yourself to be free, or did you, like a
wealling throw aside the wholesome thoughts and
abandon yourself to the old conditions when oppor-
tunity offered? man who makes promises to him
self and doesn't keep them, at least doesn't make
a mighty effort to keep them, becomes weakened Il
his will and becomes slave of the things of when
he should be master. Not keeping promises to him
self the next step in a mans weakness is to break
the promises he makes to his friends and associates
How silently and insidiously the weakness grows in
strength till it holds the mastery over the con
seriousness and the soul of the victim is never re-
allied until all those elements of nobility which
make man worthy in his own sight and in the sight
of his fellows and of God have wthered before the
blighting poison of a weakened viii.
Man grows to strength in body and mind by
healthy exercise Great minds are trained to great
ness by scrupulous attention to details Each time
the will conquers the physical appetite the victory
gives additional power over the baser element
Each time the will wavers there is sad addition
to the strength of the weakness which it has been
sought to overcome
There is than mere joke in the broken
resolutions of New Years day The making of a
resolution indicates a knowledge of the wickedness
or the folly of the thing VIII ch has caused the de
sire for reform If that desire is sincere and it is
usually, there is sure to come battle for suprem-
acy between the clements controlling and the temp
tation to cast aside the solemn promise to sin no
Upon the result of this battle depends large
ly the fate of the New Years resolution. Not only
that but the character of the individual is strength
ened or weakened, and the power of selfcontrol is
gained or lost
Stick to the New Years resolutions. There IS
nothing in the world, save only the strengthening
forces of God and His Church, can form that
strength of character which is so essential to
cess and happiness the logged persistence in
right doing right thinking and right living

probably gutless of the greater crime, yet it seems

But he pleaded guilty to robbery princi-
pal, and although he said he thought he en-
titled to some leniency, inasmuch he furnished
about all the information concerning the princ-

considered the privilege of pleading guilty to a
robbery charge rather than standing trial for muir
der sufficient leniency already extended. In this
view of the case, Judge Armstrong did his full
duty.
Highway robbery is only removed from the crime
of murder by the docile compliance of the victim
to the commands of the highwayman. 1t is pc
culiarly common crime in Salt Lake, and so fire.
