PARENTS SHOULD TRAIN THEIR
CHILDREN EARLY.
(Morning EXaminer.)

Fathers and mothers can do much
to- bring about a safe and sane OBJ
servance Of the Fourth Of July by dis
couraging their children in the use Of
fire crackers and other explosives so
much used in the celebration of the
natal day
The celebration of the Fourth usu-
ally begins a number of days prior to
that date, in one way or another.
While some Of the men begin their
celebrations in the first days Of July
in the indulgence and over-indulgence
in the use of fire water" the boy S
begin an early jollificatlon in the dis
charge of fire crackers. Both should
be discouraged and stamped out II
possible. Let the people in general
place the stamp of disapproval upon
the one and the parents refrain from
indulgence with their children
in the other, Many accidents occur
In these ante-Fourth Of July celebra-
tions, and it has a tendency to
form in the minds of the children the
spirit Of NOISY Fourth"
1t is pleasing to note that Ogden is
to have an old-time celebration on July
4th this year, and the especial care
and concern of the committee having
the affair in hand will be to avoid ac-
cidents.

MEN RESPONSIBLE

GroteSque Fashions" and "Wo-
men VIII Adopt Moderation"

New York, June 18.-The New York
women are being crippled by the Par
is fashions, and the men of Paris and
New York are responsible for it.
Emphatically and in detail, DR.. Sar.
nh j. McNutt, one of New Yorks most
eminent women physicians. agreed
with the quoted sartorial beliefs OF
the official head Of the United States
tailors' association.
But if women suffer physically for
the style Of clothes they wear. 1t is
largely men who are responsible" re-
iterated DR.. McNutt, land their re-
sponsibility springs from two sources.
Many Of the fashion extemes and alb
surdity, that comes to us from Paris.
would never have been launched. If
men had not been directly responsible.
They would never have been thought
OF by women.
"The second ground, upon which
would hold men responsible for wo-
mems dress absurdities, goes deeper
into human nature. The barbarian in
man admires extremes in dress what
one might call striking costumes In
women. After all. practically every
woman in the world is dressed to
make herself attractive in the eyes of
at least one man. Let the men cease
to be lured by grotesque fashions.
and see that, with a sigh of relief, wo-
men will adopt moderation"

COMETS AND THE NEW
ONE NOW IN SIGHT.
lMorning Examiner.l }


Yesterday, near the time Of sunset,
the sun was cclipsed by the moon, and
in the northwest Brooks comet radl-
fractions which are not on exhibition
every day.
One OF the discoverers of Brook s
comet has predicted that the strange
visitor is about to upset the orderly
affairs OF this earth by influencing
the mariners compass and making un'
seasonable weather.
Comets were at one time feared.
People were told that the wayfarers
swinging through space might come
in collision with the earth OF be drawn
into the sun, but with the spread Of
elementary knowledge Of astronomy.
comets have been welcomed as rare
visitors to add interest to the won
ders of the solar system.
These nebulous bodies have their
pathways as we'll marked as is the or
bit Of the earth, and though some Of
them disappear to reappear only after
the lapse of a great period Of time
with mathematical precision by the
dSlTonouerS WHO reau tne nollonS vi
the heavenly bodies.
This comet has never presented It's
head to view, but within a brief Pc
riod after the long tall had been dis
covered the time of nearest approach
to the sun and the hour when the
comet would begin to recede had been
figured.
This is possible because of the or
derly arrangement of the starry world,
where countless millions of bodies eX-
tending beyond the range of the most
powerful telescopes, swing through
space In perfect response to a law
which. in its exactness and multiple
ity Of detail, affords the human mind
a peep into the omnipotent and ON
niscient.

CENTRAL GlEE CLUB
AT THE BAPTIST CHURCH

One Of Ogdcn's young men, II. n.
Severn, who is now dean OF Central
college, organized the Pella College,
Iowa, Glec Club. in 1906, and for a
while was its director, and much cred
1t is due him for whatever the club
has accomplished. 1t is, therefore, n
pleasure to announce that the Glee
Club Of Central College will make its
first appearance in this city June 20
and 21. They will assist in the ser
vices OF the church on the goth OF
June, and will give their concert Mon
day evening at o'clock In the church.
Coming as they do, highly recommend
ed, treat is in store for music lovers
of Ogden. In addition to the Glee
Club, Miss Rose A. Wilson, as reader,
and Miss Grace E. Berger. as accom-
panist, will materially contribute to
the entertainment of the evening
The Herold, of Oskaloosa, says Of
the entertainment furnished by the
club:
at was cultivated, artistic and sat
isfying evenings program Of music
and entertainment, and each number
was equally merltorious and well rem
dered. The appreciation Of the au-
dlence was shown by the numerous en-
cores to which the entertainers were
compelled to respond. The voices in
the Glee Club are we'll balanced and
blend with an harmonious effect most
difficult to obtain In a male chorus.
They exhibited the result OF long and
systematic practice and are deserving
OF commendation. Their scenic pro.
ductions we're excellent"
The News-Tribune, of Muscatine.
Iowa, in speaking of the concert fur
nished by the club. says:
Their music last evening was SUI
perb. They were encored repeatedly
and made an all-around hit. The
chorus work was exceptionally fine
and showed much work and a true un
derstaDding OF the music they gave.
The entire auditorium of the Baptist
church was occupied and the audience
was more than pleased"

love her valleys fair and wide,

I love her crystal inland sea,
Where float the gulls so gracefully;
And every tide that tolls for her
Its deep monotony. :.

Where so e'er he chance to roam;
And every heart that beats for her
And of the world entreats for her
A place In Honor's dome.

David Eccles Is busy man these

companied by good works. 1t Is a
most difficult piece Of railroad con-

where the farmers are living in a val

pect that those isolated tillers of the
soil will offer some inducement which

INTRODUCED IN THE HOUSE

Washington, June 1S.-To reduce
the postal rates, improve the postal
service. and increase postal revenues,
Representative Bennett, OF New York,

THE JAPANESE KEEP US
AROUSED.

It may OF may not be true that the
Japanese have secret plans regarding
Hawaii. The strike of the Japanese la
borers there may or may not be part
of those plans. What's the use Of
worrying? asks the Butte Inter
Mountain.
In the mikado's people themselves
absolutely no good faith Is to be eX-
pected. They invaded Korea while
their ministers were discussing peace
with the Russian czar To the orien.
tai. lying comes as matter of course
A Japanese fleet could take Hawaii
any time. They might also wrest the
chief ports of the Philippines from us.
But there would inevitably ensue-
developments,
We cannot sit up nights worrying
about these Japanese. Neither can
we, except at absurd expense, main
tain In the Pacific fleet equal to
theirs. Let them, If they will, strike
FIRST blow The last will be struck
elsewhere.
DR. Guy Potter Benton, president OF
Miami. Ohio. university. is strong in
his convictions. He told auditors at
Hamilton. Ohio, the other night that
the Japanese are the most immoral
people on earth, and the people of the
Pacific states VINO are striving to keep
them out of the public schools are
patriots"
What is immortality? Certain things
we eschew, the Japanese indulge in.
That's the sole explanation.
Perhaps the chief objection to the
Japanese is economic-not moral. We
cannot live side by side because we
cannot compete with them upon an
economic basis.

BOY TRAMPEp STREETS NIGHT
AND DAY WITH THIS IN VIEW.
Painter Is Held Until Further lnvesti-
cation is Made in Regard to
BersIn Murder

New York, June 1S.-Joe Totaro, the
eighteen-year- old boy. who brought to
light the frightful murder of Samuel
Bersin last night, identified Sigmund
Goldberg. painter, as the man VINO
had employed him to watch the two
bundles which later were found to con-
tain the headless and dismembered
body of Bersin. Tne lad had been
tramping through East Side streets
night and day since the murder was
discovered n week ago last night, but
it was not until he saw Goldberg, that
he told the police that he had found
the man.
Although Totaro was positive.in his
identification. two other persons, VINO
might be able to recognize who lett
the bundles with him, failed to iden-
tlfy him. The police, however, decid-
ed to hold Goldberg for further In
yestigation. 1t Is the flrst arrest that
las been made In the mystery.
