SOMETHING ABOUT ALLEYS.

The following letter is published by
request of the writer:
salt Lake city, Utah, Jan. -. 1908.
"To the Editor-Will YOU kindly err
tighten a nonresident property owner
on the following subject?
THE writer Is interested In an alley
under the Windsor Hotel, and had
received notice number of times to
pave alley. During last October,
while in this city. | was notified that
unless the alley was paved at once,
II would be closed as a nuisance. We
had our alley paved and ] left for
my home in Oakland, Cal. l returned
a few days ago and found that about
the only alley remaining unpaved is
on Main street. between First and
Second South.
lis it possible that this alley remains
inpaved, and I'm the muddy condition
that it Is, and is not closed as a nui-
sance because the owner of the abut-
ting property Is the reputed head of
the dominating party in this City,

to demand strict conformity to law
in others and indulgence for ones own
dear self. There is something in the
venerable old Book about beam and
mote, gnat and camel.
In the case OF the alley referred
to. we believe there is dispute con-
corning the title or perhaps con-
corning the question as to- whose duty
1t is TO do the paving. That may be
considered a good excuse in this case,
but in any other case the probability
is that the City would have closed
the alley upon the expiration of the
time allotted for the paving, and let
the parties interested settle questions
of ownership, or right OF way. or what
ever the dispute is about between
themselves afterwards. with the al
ley closed 20 traffic. those questions
would soon be decided

QUESTION OF LIFE AND DEATH.

Some disciples Of various optimistic
schools OF philosophy have, in recent
years raised the question of the possi-
billy OF prolonging human life. almost
indefinitely and they endeavored TO
prove that with proper diet and con-
stant war upon the fe-destroylng
microbes. man ought to he safe from
death almost for ever.
This raises another question; Would
Immortality in the mortal body, IL the
seemingly contradictory expression
can be used. be desirable. on possible?
Dr Alfred Russell Wallace. Is, says
the New York sun. firmly persuaded
that II would not. His opinion Is this.
that IL ever men were to become po-
tenualy immortal they must newt
ably perish. This Is how DR. Wallace
demonstrates the justice of his appre-
tensions:
III at any time turing the vast cons
of evolution from the lower marine
forms up 10 terrestrial animals and
man the existing species had become
potentially immortal the result would
really have been the extinction OF the

of the vegetable feeders would soon
have destroyed all vegetation, and they
would necessarily have died Of hunger.
Then the carnivora would have had 10
feed on each other and only the most
powerful would survive when they
too must feed ON their own kind aud

In other words. II man should sue

become so humorous that cannibalism
would have to be resorted 10 as tho

ANTI-ENcLlsu SENTIMENT.

The Japanese war scare seems to
have been given a new direction. Ac-
cording to the reports the Japs are
now suffering from an anti-English
sentiment, as well as an anti-Ameri-
can. This is said to have found an
expression in an address delivered by
Count okuma, some time ago befor,
commercial organization. The Count
is reported to have said that the peo-
pie of India were oppressed by England
and that they were looking 10 Japan
for liberation. ''rhe Japanese, he
said. fought to go to India the South
Ocean, and other parts Of the World"
The quotation Is. OF course, denied, but
II seems to be accepted as true, never
theless. because the reports appeared
in several newspapers independent OF
each other.
1t has been rumored for some time
that Hindues have gone 10 Japan To
try TO obtain support for an agitation
in India and the address credited to
Count olSuma seems to confirm this
rtInor 1.-The three hundred million
people of India are looking for Japan
ese protection" he is reported to have
said. And then he added:
',rhey have commenced to boycott
European merchandise. If. therefore
the Japanese let the chance slip by
and do not go to India, the Indians
will he disappointed. If one viii not
take gifts from heaven heaven may
send one misfortune. From old times
India has been a land of treasure.
Alexander the Great obtained there
treasure sufficient To load one hundred
camels. and Mohammed and Attila
also obtained riches from India. why
should the Japanese not stretch out
their hands toward that country, now
that the people are looking to the
Japanese? The Japanese ought to go
to India. the Soutl Ocean, and other
parts of the world"
There is some reason for an anti
English sentiment In Japan. According
20 a TOXIC dispatch British syndicate
has proposed TO build a railroad par
allelmg the South Manehurlan road
The correspondent Of the Associated
Press. the dispatch says. has been in
formed by the authorities at Toxic that
under no circumstances WIN Japan
permit construction to commence
In reply TO the question, What will
you do about IT," a member of the
cabinet replied: I'VE win stop IT,"
II Is further stated that the diulo-
matte relations between Japan and
China over the proposed railroad have
reached stage wherein Japan has
assumed a most firm attitude and has
assured China that a railroad parallel
ing the South Manchurian shall not be
built. because II violates both the
spirit and letter of the Pekin treaty.
SO there seems TO be very substan-
tial reason for an antl-Engllsh sentl-
ment in Japan. But II must be re-
GREETED that a man of the prominence
OF Count okuma makes himself the
spokesman of such sentiment. II
cannot but lond aid to the agltators.

A SERMoNET FOR WORKERS


[For the News" BY IL. ]. Hapgoodl
Recently the Chicago Association Of
Commerce sent out letters to si6 bust
ness firms with view to obtaining the
exact state of the employment market.
a year ago these business houses EN-
ployed 1880 persons. but the statist-
les thus gathered show that today they
are employing only $1,000 persons. This
is a decrease OF less than IL per cent
These figures are important in that
they dlspel the idea. which stubbornly
sticks I'm the minds OF a few pessim-
istic ones. Strange to say In spite
OF reassuring statements and efforts to
restore confidence there are still some
calamity howlers who viii not believe
IN the bright side. These people per-
sist is spreading rumors that over 90
per cent Of the working population are
unemployed. The Chicago statistics
certainly ought to drive such state
ments to the wall.
Furthermore, the SIG firms state that
they would take on 1920 additional
hands inside of sixty days and Presl-
dent Fargon of the association says
that data collected from all branches
Of industry indicate that by the first
OF March only per cent of the resi-
dent working population of Chicago
will be idle.
This is good news indie - ana is sure
to put the panic takers to route.
