ENoLANp's OLD AGE PENSION

The Salt Lake Telegram says:
England has been great state for 4
thousand years. Through good many
years of that time, as one looks over
the history of the world. about the
only spot where the lamp Of liberty
had not gone out was In England.
The English are great people;
they brought themselves out OF barbar
ism; they had enough of real man
hood In themselves to first subdut
themselves, then make a code and en
force 1t, to create a literature of their
own, to harness some of the great
present moving forces OF the world
and put them In use. From an infin-
itesimal beginning they created a
navy and while insisting on liberty,
they at the same time put in working
form the elements to give their peo-
pie employment.
The great poet Of the ages was an
Englishman; the great lawgivers OF
the modern world have been English
men; 1t was the Englishman that
sought out among the stars the law
that hold them In their places; in ev-
cry field they have borne the English
flag until it has become an emblem
of limitless power and at the same
time of liberty. All the same we
do not believe the masses of English
men arc as intelligent as the men of
America, and we are reminded of that
by the trouble which the British gov
eminent officials who are charged
with the administration of the old
age pension law, are having In secur-
ing proof Of age.
A great many people cannot prove
how old they are; they have to bring
up old love letters and vaccination re-
ceipts, dated many years before such
certificates were made compulsory.
they have to recall local events which
were recorded because Of their unus-
ual character, and this makes an an
omaly in the records of the world. A
good many women have been troubled
to prove how young they were, but
to prove how old person is does not
seen to be, as rule, needed thing.
There seems to be suspicion among
the officers that a good many peo-
pie are not SO old as they pretend
to be and that their scruples as to
testifying to their real age are broken
down In the hope Of getting a petty
pension.
The maximum pension Is five shil-
ings per week. which is to be paid to
applicants having an income OF less
than $105 year. 1t Is now estimated
that the old age pension will cost
the government from s35,ooO,000 TO
| 100000 900 year.

The capacity OF the entire plant Will
then be $500 tons daily, of which s.
500 Will be devoted to Nevada ores

On to 100000. When all the addi-
tions now under way. and in contem.

the company will not go on adding

least $4,000 ions daily. an amount ap-
proximately equal to the entire Butte

camp of Ely still will be less import.
ant than Butte. as less payroll will
be required to extract that amount OF
ore In Ely than In Butte. but eventual
ly, II other Ely properties are deyel'

Ogden business men should con
tinue to give the Ely district their
careful attention, as the trade OF Ely
will grow to vast proportions.

delay. While one stood in front of
him and held revolver close to his
eyes. the other went through his pock-
cts. Five dollars in money, an open
face gold watch, with the letters f.
s. engraved on the back. and gold
watch fob were taken from him.
After taking the valuables. the rob-
bers stepped TO one side and ordered
Mr.. Steiffel to walk along the street
and not turn back
The second robbery occurred at 214
East Third South street. shortly be-
fore IL o'clock. Joseph Strakn was
turning into his gate at that number
when two men jumped from a dark
place and. pointing their revolvers d.
rectly at him, told him not to shout
but to throw up his hands The rob.
hers turned the same trick as before.
All they received for their trouble was
some small change and scarf pin.
Both robberIes were reported to the
police soon aftor they occurred, and
although a detail of six policemen was
sent out, the robbers were not found.

President Elect Taft, accompanied
by engineers. has departed for Pana-
ma, to inspect the canal. This is not
the first trip of Mr.. Taft to the Canal
zone as 1t is one OF several visits he
has made in an effort to obtain at
first hand knowledge OF the work Of
building the big canal.
There have been rumors OF engi-

OF funds. There is always possibil-
fly of such rumors having some truth
back of them. and although Mr.. Taft
may be convinced everything Is above
criticism, he goes to reassure himself
there Is nothing wrong. either In the
engineering plans or the control OF
the working forces.
The present administration has
watched the progress Of work on the
canal with Intiring vigilance and the
President himself has been on the

A POOR APOLOGY.

Rev. Elderkin, In his sermon of Sun
day. arguing that the Mayor is without
responsibility In the matter of clos
ing gambling, holding that the sole re-
sponsibility is with the police depart
ment, makes a stumbling attempt
at illustrating his point when he asks
If the dog catcher, the sanitary in
spcctor, the fire chief and other heads
of branches Of the city government
are subservient TO the mayor and
whether the mayor Is held accountable
for their acts.
Mr.. Elderkin should inquire into city
affairs before disclosing his dearth of
information on the fixing of municipal
responsibility. The officers he refers
to look to the mayor for guidance and
II their departments are not properly
conducted. the mayor and his admins
tration are censured by the people.
What a strange idea seems to pos
sess our friend in the Congregational
pulpit He would have the Mayor
name chief of police or chief Of the
fire department and then If either
chief proved to be a failure. he as ar
apologist for the mayor, would say;
THE mayor is not responsible for the
acts of his appointees."
We do not hold to the opinion tha
the police force is above criticism, but
we do condemn this strained effort a
excusing one and damning the other O
those at the head of city affairs.
