WORD OF A eooD WORKMAN.

1t Is the pleasure of The HeraId-Re-
publican to surprise Mr. William Igie-
heart with a public word of commenda-
ton. He is a very good workman. be
is much of man. He is one Of the last
to consent to receiving bouquets And
IT is the popularity Of his craft that
men in newspaper work rarely have at
once chance and inclination TO say of
each other what may with sincerity
and judgment be said.
Mr.. Igleheart says he walked up
Thursday morning and grinned at the
reflection that no man on earth coul2
make him get up. The expression typi-
f1es his character. and his business. Not
even the soldier knows a more exacsiI.g
duty than that of the newspaper man.
And this man has answered every de-
mand made upon him by those to whom
Re was responsible.
For, no matter how much money the
owner of the Salt Lake Herald may
have had in the years Of that papers

capacity of William Iglehaart IS what
made the paper a success. And so long
as the relation of manager FOR another
man rested upon him, he could be called
from bed at any time Of day or night
sick or well, weary or rested, sad or
joyful, in sympathy OF not. Like the
coming of the dawn, that man could be
depended on.
Years ago M. Igleheart ranked with
the very best newspaper men IN Chicago
and that in the Worlds fair period
when only the best of them could hold
a job. His work there was on the
writing side. and that splendid business
ability which has been so perfectly
proven here in Salt Lake must have
been latent. Illness alone drove him
from the big city. It sent him into Salt
Lake, and health came back to him.

It has been the exempliflcRtiOn of char
acter and capacity. It is a pleasure TO
give him this deserved, this sincere, and
this totally unsolicited praise.

WHAT THE WOMAN THINKS.
r. ANGEI.A MORGAN


I am asked what 1 think Of the unsO-
ciable husband who won't talk to his
wife and family when he comes home at
night and who spOiis the pleasure of the

/ communicative calm too heavy to be

most eager questioning

what the anxiety Of those at home to

cussed, almost ignores wife and family

bornness refuses to crafty, and does not
give any reason for such refusal.

He simply won't talk. and that is the
end of the matter.
On the other hand, If the man could
take the wOmans view, he would realize
Just this; That his wife has probably had
no chance to come in touch with matters
outside Of the domestic or social sphere,
that she Graves a breath Of the larger
realm, and that her intellect feels keenly
the. need Of expansion through contact
with his.
lie would understand that the placid
atmosphere Of dOmesticity IN which she
has lived and breathed all day needs to

After all, what a pity SO many hus-

unfortunate that thousands of women
must resign themselves to the dead-level

I can not help believing that the rea-

AN ADVERTISING ASSET.

Later in the present month the AsSO-
ciated Advertising Clubs Of the country
will hold a convention in Louisville,
and one of the best policemen known TO
fame will address the meeting on "The
Proper Policing Of a City-a Valuable
Advertising Asset" That will be a
good convention for some Salt Lake
man to attend
In the time when all discerning peO-
pie were applying hard names to the
Tammany society Of New York, the
simple fact was that the finest police
force in the country was maintained
there. Graft may have had its influence
IN the offices higher up" But the man
on the beat was intelligent and capable.
He was brave and resourceful. He
looked like a guardian Of the people and
a preserver OF order. And he was. no
matter what the university that gave
him his Observation-Disclosures Columbia
college or the Bowery-the crossing po-
Ilceman and the patrolman on the beat
were dependable.
Like the lingo Englishman, they were
not looking for q fight. But f one came
up. they were prepared for it-plenty.
They didn't carry clubs, and they didn't
draw them unless it became impera-
lively necessary. And when they did
draw. the logic was just what it is in
Texas when a man pulls his gun. II
had passed the period Of conversation.
We do not believe the Salt Lake 20
lice force is all that it should be. One
of the things which could be done by
way OF Improvement would be to teach
the men to carry their clubs in their
belts. and not in their hands. There are
some other things that could be done in
betterment Of the force. The necessity
of that sort of thing viii be conceded
in the light of the Louisville lecture

SCENES AT CAMP CUTLER.

It is not easy to keep militiamen up
to grade in time Of peace. However
stern the bearing of officers, however
willing the men, the one thing which
gives warrant for the assembling of
state troops at Camp Cutler is wanting.
There is no war. The sentry may walk
his post never so faithfully. He may
challenge every late-returning soldier,
and even bring an officer to The halt
now and then. But he knows perfectly
we'll that his vigilance may be relaxed
without danger of the camp being sur
prised by a ravening enemy.
This year Utah's soldiers have a pal-
ticularly pleasant camp. They are on
high and beautiful ground. They are

solidity and permanence. The boys are

FIRST AID TO THE WORKING
GIRL

Rather an interesting prospectus is
that Of the Chicago woman who is
teaching working girls how to get along
with their employers without either the
employer or the girl being any the
the worse for the enga cement.
The promoter Of the scheme proposes
to teach girls just how to be nice to a
man in the Office without giving him
license to address her on the street. She
says there are many mothers of good
families whose daughters have caught
the rage for working. the fashion Of
earning their own money. The careful
mothers cannot keep their daughters at
home. and they don't want to let them
venture unprovided into the jungle of
the Chicago store or Office.
II the mothers had done their duty by
the girls, there would be no need now
of a school of behavior. If a girl has
had the good example of even average
mothers, there is going to be little dan
ger for her when she gets out in what
has been loosely denominated "the
world" And if the mothers have
brought up their daughters badly it
viii need more than any course in a
near college for those girls to fit them
selves for self-defense.
People who travel abroad have made
it clear to people who stay at home
that the American girl is perfectly safe
even in the capitals of Europe. And that
is generally supposed to be a far worse
jungle than the Chicago range. Girls
who can take care Of themselves in
Paris and Berlin should not be i'm
perilled in any city on this continent
The prospectus Of the Chicago woman
rather seems to be the evidence of a
harmless way TO make money, by get
ting rich girls to pay for some Informal
ton which they already have. But as
the girls VIII be in no way harmed by
the precepts they are likely to get at
the school Of behavior, far be it from
any Utah man to protest.
Go on. Tell them the things they
know. If you can get them to pay you
for it, be assured you are good. And
may nothing worse happen the girls
than to lose their tuition IN the school
Of behavior.

does not believe the best man was
chosen by either party, and that which

After all, is there any better way

it is open to objection. Gentlemen with
a flculty for controlling the actions Of

with defeating the viii of the people.
Put that seems to be in effect what IN

a primary election.
If the best people would go to the
polls, the primary would give them an
ideal government.
And by the same token, if they would
go to the polls. the convention and the

THE WIDOW WHO WAS MERRY.

IF you want to conserve tie morals
of the people. don't tell them a play is
hnmcroL They viii all want to see it.
And all the nation is turning conserva-
tor these days.
There was 1.-THE Merry Widow" a
play. Il held the boards at the Salt
Lake theatre one entire week. and It
made a good deal Of money. The houses
were filled at every performance. 1.-THE
Merry Widow" was a tremendous
triumph
The story is a beautiful thing There
is a little kingdom-like that Of Graus-
tark, or Zenda- The reigning prince Of
it is a handsome and lovable young man.
His Golfers are empty, and the king
dom must have money, or national ex-
tinction is assured. So his ministers
take him to France, where they hope to
have one of his officers marry the rich
widow. with whose millions they know
they can keep their governmental bark
afoat. The widow doesn't care for the
officers, but evidences a decided par
TALLY for the prince. She refuses many
offers TO marry, finally stating that
when she marrles she must give up her
millions. And although she is very fair
and very clever, not one of the princes
encourage seeks her for anything less
than her gold. But when the prince is
assured Of the new fact, he begs her to
marry him. and she consents. She is
confronted by the amazed followers Of
the prince. who do not want him to
marry a penniless woman, and she tells
them she must give up her fortune to
her husband. And all live happily ever
after
Which is tidy enough as a plot But the
author has seen fit to adorn the story
of the course Of that true love with
some Of the rankest fndecencies that
have ever been revealed on any stage.
The dinner scene at DTaxim's is the
apex feature. We don't think any one
in the audience who had witnessed such
scenes in real life wound admit it to the
woman beside him. There was an aban-
donment Of decorum by women, a total
loss of reserve, an ignoring Of modesty
which-pardon the strong word-dis-
gusted even the experienced people in
the audience. Tt was Just a shade too
broad, too evident.
Surely, that sort of thing does not ap-
peal to refined people. And yet no play
has made a bigger fortune in these late
years than has THE Merry Widow"
Now, why2
It isn't because the public will not
pay for clean drama. and good music.
You saw how the crowds fought for
seats at Madame Butterfly" and "Pe-
ter Pan" It cannot be laid at the door
Of the composer or Of the author, for
here were the people-by the thousands.
And they have repeated their indorse-
ment wherever the play has come.
You can prove on paper that good
men and good women viii discourage a
bad play. But there were the multi
tudes. You cant explain them away.

REGARD FOR MRS. TAFT.

The people Of the United States regret
that Mrs. Taft is not in the best of
health. In her case, the usual consid-
Grafton for women is added to by the
high esteem in which this lady is held.
Wives of public men are more in the
limelight than they may realize. And
Mrs. Taft has won the hearty good will
and esteem of Americas great-hearted
people.
They hope that the New England sum
mer may restore her; that she may re-
turn to Washington with strength for
the work they know she desires to do.
And they send to her, whatever her
state, their loving approval and their
good will.
