In "The Oregon Trail" and La Sale and the
Great West the historian Parzman writes eo-
quenty but patheticaly of the buffalo which in his
time were racing with the white mans bullets He
foresaw the day when they would disappear from the
plains, and he may be said to have chanted their
requiem. One hundred and fifty years ago they
roamed over a third of North America even as far
the Arctic circle to the north and the Gulf of
Mexico at the south. How many of them there were
then is only within the sphere of speculation. Fifty
years ago. Buffalo Bill" Colonel Cody asserts,
there were 100000 buffalo swarming on the pra-
ries and that in fifteen years, from 1868 to 1888
they were practically annihilated. These singular
animals were often destroyed by Indians and trap
pers solely for their tongues. Their hides were, in
our own memory cheaper than the pelts of domes-
tic cattle Every man who could afford to have a
horse. belt of sleigh bells and Gutter owned
buffalo robe. No family was too poor to own a
pair of polished buffalo horns; they were as cheap
as a wreath of waxed flowers or a fancy wooden
motto.
The Indians at times used to stampede them
over precipices, destroying thousands for tribal
feast So it happened that in fifteen years the
buffalo practically ceased to exist.
When, after the disappearance of the buffalo
from the plains small herd would be reported oc
casionaly to have been seen in some remote corner
or mountain fastness. a hunting expedition would
be organized and the pitiful remnant slaughtered
for amusement One of the most shameful pages
in the history of country is that recording the
fate of the buffalo. For waste and wanton cruelty
to inoffensive animals that page has no parallel.

EDWARD PAYS0N WESTON.

he able to make up his lost time and arrive at his
destination in firstclass condition sand on time
Weston is certainly one Of the. most remarkable
characters in the country He was great walker
some forty or fifty years ago, and he has been
walking about every day since. He is said to be
seveptv-one wears old We don't believe there IS
another man of his age in the country who would
even attempt to walk across the country; few there
are who would attempt to walk hundred miles
NOT MANY are there who would try to walk more
than few city blocks. Weston's physical condi-
ton must be superb or he could not make the re
markable distances which he covers every day.
There ought to be a lesson to the younger gen
Grafton of men and women in the remarkable dis
plav of physical strength of this veteran walker.
He has lived an active life has been out-of-doors
most of his time and has grown old only in years
The lesson needs not to be pointed out Few there
are who have time to follow his example. Stlffy
offices. cellars and unsanitary workshops call most
people every day to their duty and to their death
1t is said that no man is older than he feels. To
feel young requires only that the outdoors be
sought and systematic outdoor work performed
from early childhood

UNPR0FITABLE TALK.

"Then answered Eliphas the Temanite. and
said:
Should wise man utter vain knowledge and
! fill his belly with the east wind?
Should he reason with improbable talk or
with speeches wherewith he can do no good?"
At the Unity church, this city, an address was
delivered by Rev. W. Thurston Brown, D. D., on
last Sunday morning. It dealt with the absurd
tiles of the Christian religion and contradictions
IN the existence Of God, and so a report of it has
the place of honor in Mondays Salt Lake Herald
William Thurston Brown, D. D. is wise man.
He knows Huxley's Independent Thought like

He is a man of knowledge Biblical, literary and
artistic he breathes the air of Yale and Prince

the company is rarer. From this elevated station
the eyrie of Higher Intelligence Advanced
thought and Independent Reason, he looks out
upon the levels of religion, Christianity and CON
servative thought and finds them no good
This judgment born of glance he eberishes
and even decorates with the embroidery of agpostc

others who may or may not be counted among our

THE GLORIOUS FOURTH.

The Fourth of July as the birthday of free
nation has lost much of its significance through
its celebration. 1t is not very many years ago
that the day was celebrated by big parade through
the principal streets by fraterna orders, with a
grand marshal enjoying his annual horseback ride.
After the parade, which supposed to be some
what of a reminder of the days of 1776, the crowd
assembled at the park and listened to a. reading of
the Declaration of Independence and the orator of
the day struck an attitude an announced: 1--WE are
assembled here today etc Then footraces and
horse races and baseball games were introduced.
and with their introduction gradual evolution has
taken place until now the day we celebrate has
become day of sports, games noise, fireworks and
folly. If we listen to an orator, unconsciousy we
hope he will not hold US too long; the baseball
game is scheduled for 2 o'clock. and we can't miss
that even for the patriotic thrill which the orator
will awaken. In the evening there was the usual
display of fireworks.
The American people are undoubtedly as pa
triotc and brave as they ever were, but they have
lost the art of expressing their patriotism and love
of country exemplified in their celebration of
the natal day of great and free nation. If the
Declaration of independence is read at all, it is
only a ceremony which a few of the older folks
gather round to hear and oratory-there is no or
atory any more, There is no money in oratory. 50
we Americans don't care for that any more. and
almost any small boy can make more noise than
an orator, so the latter has but small place in a
Fourth of July celebration. We would not enter
a plea for the oldfashioned Fourth else we be con-
sidered old-fashioned ourselves. But in the tur-
MOL and noise of the present method of celebrating
the day we are losing one of the real treasures of
the olden times. 1t would be distinct gain if we
could have SOBER sane and safe celebration; one
with at least suggestion of the origin of the holt
day.

BUSINESS is BUSINESS.

As an excuse for doing certain acts, Business
Is business is very frequently offered When it is
offered it inevitably suggests that the fellow who
offers 1t is a CRATER Business is the subject of
more discussion than the people among the states
men at Washington. Business is the pet child of
the Legislators. Business prosperity must be re-
stored; we bow down before Business and worship
Prosperity.
When business is good, the whole country is
happy; no matter what hideous forms of corruption
and public dishonor may be stal1ed it may be ex-
cused if business is good.
Surely there never was a time when fearless
and aggressive men could find better opportun-
ity to take up the fight of the people for the prvi
eges guaranteed by the constitution. Surely there
never was better time for protest to be uttered
against this devotion to business There is too
much OF this talk of business and business pros
perity. Let us have discussion of men and NOR
ais; business is pretty bad even when it is at It's
best.

chapter of American zoology. Of the millions of
these noble animals rllat once roamed the western
plains Of North America fewer than thousand are
now known to be living With the exception of the
Pablo herd, which has increased by careful breed

animals has been growing less year by year This

More than twenty-five years ago a man named
AIlard collected small herd of buffalo and estab-
hshed buffalo ranch on the Flathead reservation
IN Montana. His object was to supply menageries
and circuses and government parks with specimens
The venture was moderately successful and in 1898

In that year he bought the herd of Buffalo"

He had little trouble in the first cross, and the

Quite recently the Flathead reservation was
thrown open for settlement and Pablo began to look
around for purchaser of his animals The United

"THE SOLOS | HAVE ENDURED"

'Oh, the solos l have enduredr' exclaimed the
late Bishop McQuaide of Rochester as he entered
the vesry of his cathedral after pontifcatng at an
elaborate operate Mass"
The observation of the Bishop is suggestive of
painful experience in which, no doubt, others have
from time to time Joined. 1t was the opinion of
the Rochester prelate that what is needed in
church services, and particularly at the Saerific
of the Mass, is not ornamental singing or the fancy
and incomprehensble solo so much as plain. de-
votional and simple singing, in which the congre-
cation body might join. The character of
the music rendered in churches has been the sub
ject of discussion and of ecclesiastical action at
various periods since the tenth century And the
course of ecclesiastical legislation shows that as
in many other branches of human effort. so in the
matter of church music, there is tendency to
carry good and edifying custom beyond point
at which it ceases to be commendable
In the early centuries congregational singing

but it was not, The knowledge of tune. harmony
and tibre was so crude that when all Joined in the
service of praise, the volume of sound was sup
gestive of riot. The Council of Laodicea inter
vened on behalf Of people of sensitive ears, and
prohibited singing by the laity as body. Then
followed a more harmonious rendering of the lit
urgy.
But the legislation which made for an improve

he music became scandalously fanciful, and drift
ed into freedom which degenerated into license.
1t was even alleged that heretical hymns crept into
the chair and mingled with the solemn and sacred
service The Council of Trent found it necessary
to draw strict line between religious and secular
music, and to order that all profane music and
singing be ngldly excluded from the service, This
was necessary reform. But not less important
was that of Pope Gregory, who insisted that the
ornate music which choirmasters had introduced
and encouraged be abolished and that plain chant.

EDWARD EVERETT HALE.

The death of Edward Everett Hale took from
the country one of its most venerable figures. At
the time of his death Dr. Hale was chaplain of the
United States senate and in his eighty-eighth
year. having been born April 2, 1922. DR.. Hale was
a Unitarian minister, but devoted much of his time
to literary work, and was an active promoter of
Chautauqua movements. His list of writings is a
lengthy one and it is doubtful if his work is much
read in this day. His best known work is "The
Man Without Country" although it may be his
Memories of a Hundred Years." published about
year ago, may become his leading work The title
of the book is not misleading for while DR.. Hales
memory did not run back over a century, he was
associated in his early manhood with men. whose
memories reached back more than hundred years
when added to his own. He graduated from Har-
ward college in his eighteenth year, and was an in
innate associate of such men as Emerson Holmes,
Longfellow and Hawthorne and knew Garrison.
Phillips, Sumner and other leaders in public life
and thought of ante-beum days.
Dr. Hale was held in high esteem by a large
circle of devoted friends, and his death was dis
tinct loss to the nation
