10 ADVERTISE.

About year ago business men of
st. Paul began to advertise that city
systematically. Money was subscribed
by private enterprise and expended ju-
diciously by experts in that line Of
business.
That the results obtained were salts

the city council has now, by unanimous

FIRST GIRAFFE IN EUROPE.
London Globe

London Globe.
Dr. Johnson, as is well known re-
fused for many months to believe IN
the Lisbon earthquake, and Parisians
Formerly were just as skeptical as to
the existence of the giraffe, a new
specimen of these gentle creatures was
III The Jardin des Plantes. The earliest
specimen of these genale creatures was
seen III Paris in the reign of Louis
XVI. We learn from a French con-
temporary that the giraffe was tirst
heard of in 1857, when it was described
by a Frenchman named Lavaillant,
who had journeyed in the lands OF the
Hottentots and Katfirs. When the eN-
piorers referred to the animals with the
long necks ne was looked upon as q
Munchausen and told that he was such
in not the politest language. 1t WAS
only when some living specimens ar
rived in the French capital that Lee
vaillant's reputation for veracity was
re-establshed, and then the animals
for long time formed the sensation
of Paris, not only among the multitude
but in all scientific circles.

enterprlslng business men. There
should be an organized effort for the
right kind of advertising this city Of
many advantages. Too long have the
people here struggled against the kind
of advertising sent out by those to
whom personal interests are paramount.
It will take some time to counterfeit
the evil influence exerted by such agen-
cies, but it can be done. Americans
are for fair play and square deal.
The time is ripe for united effort for
the right kind OF advertising of salt
Lake City and Utah. Let us go ahead
and leave behind those who can neither
learn, nor forget.

NAKE ruE co,1pAR1soN.

During the school campaign one Of
the hired tools of the manipulators OF
the so-called American party politics
gave public utterance to the following;
THE schools are at present controlled
by the Mormon church, which is the
last institution IN the world that should
have that control because It's syinpa-E
thes and purposes are altogether IN
another direction"
We have proved, to the satisfaction
of every appropriated reader, that the.
cry the Church conrtol of the public
schools is utterly absurd. 1t was raised
In the hope of divertlng attention from
the conspiracy to capture the schools
and the school funds for the benefit of
party politics. 1t is not necessary now
to dwell upon that subject.
But in the lines quoted there is an
nsinuation that the Church members
sure, that is not the exact reading of
those lines. They say that the Church
controls the schools, and that it should
not because its purposes and sympathies
are in another direction--than control.
But under this befuddled proposition
there Is. as far as we can make IL out.
the insinuation that members of the
Church are ignorant and opposed to ed
ucation.
We have invited comparison be-
tween the Lattnr-day Saints and their
rabld antagonists, on educational and
intellectual qualifications. Why not
accept that challenge? Let the com
parison embrace what each side has
done for education in Utah. Why talk
about the ignorant 'Mormons and in
sinuate that they are opposed to cduca-
ton? Why not point out what the
scholarly and rabid anti" Mormons''
have done for the schools? Where arc
their universities. their colleges, their
institutions OF learning? Where are
their Brigham Youngs, their Carl
+ Maesers. their Talmages? Where are
the lands they have donated for school
purposes? When the wonderful tale OF
anti-..Morn7on'' activity for cduca-
ton is told, we may tell the other
side We do not fear the COMPARE
son.
We have also challenged a coinpari-
son on moral grounds between the
leading mon OF the Church from the
Prophet Joseph down TO our own day
and the prominent leaders OF anti
"Mormon" agitation, including those
4 who recently clamored for tho itnpris-
onnent of innocent men. But we sup.
pose comparisons, like names. are % >
us. AT least the challenge has, SO FAR
been Ignored. And yet, It seems to us,
that would be an easy way of demon
strating the right Of the aeitators to
howl about Mormon" shortcomings
and Mormon" Ignorance.
In the meantime it is certain that II
the Latter day Saints did not occupy
n very high level Of intellectually and
morality. their traducers. miserable
towards as they are. would not dare to
hurl against them accusation after ac-
cusation. unsupported by any evidence.
They would not dare to fling insinua-
lions against them. They would not
| dare to pursue a similar course In
some communities. Here they rely up
on the well known patience and long
| suffering OF the people they assail
without cause. And this is. perhaps,
one Of the highest tributes paid to the
| morality and the intellectual qualities
| of the I.atter-day Saints.

Constantly we hear complaint from
business men that boys from the

higher schools, are very hazy about
arithmetic. Now. IL there is any sub
ject requiring precision 1t is that which
deals with figures. 1t boots little that
a boy has gone. through high school
