LECTURE COURSE FOR 1909. 10

The public will welcome the
announcement that the lecture
course committee of the Methodist
church, after comforting with +.
ID. Hawkins, representing the
Great Western Lyceum Bureau
last Thursday, succeeded in book
ing the best, and by far the most
expensive lecture and concert
course for the coming season ever
yet attempted in Monte Vista.
The course includes De Witt Mil
Ter, lecturer, The New Iealanders.
Laurant the Magician, The Cen
trail Grand Concert Company and
The College Singing girls. 1t has
been the aim of the committee to
accept only the very highest class
talent for the coming season in
the belief that the Monte Vista
public prefer and will support that
kind. Ii this proves true the
course will be steadily improved
from year TO year.

THE COUNTY FAIR

The fair given by the Triangle
Club of the Methodist church
Tuesday night on Washington
boulevard called out large and
noisy crowd.
The fair had all of the charac-
teristics of a modern fair. The
agricultural exhibits consisted of
potatoes (as large as Baca Grant
peaches), pie plant, radishes, grass
es etc. There were no domestic
animals on exhibit, they having all
been taken into the hills for sum
mer pasture.
The needle-work, patchwork
and drawn work such as the re-
heeling of socks were ample evil
dence that the ladies of the society
are artists of no ordinary ability.
Outside of the main display
tents, were the usual side shows
that follow the circus, such as the
wild man from Borneo, untutored
Indians, niger show, japanese
tea, museum containing the relics
of prehistoric times, fortune tell
ers, moving pictures displayed
only in the dark, ice cream, lemon
AIDE, chewing gum and artesian
water.
The whole aggregation was en-
livened by Lee Smiths band. The
young folks, especially, claim the
fair was the greatest show on earth.
The fair took in something like
1925 which is to be devoted to
Iaudable purposes.

PRoHIsIrIoN IN The SOUTH.

Clearly, a prohibition law does not
always mean prohibition. If it did,
nothing would be easier than to make
the whole world perfect by enacting a
statute forbidding any one to do
wrong.
Georgia and Alabama both are pro-
hibition-on the books And both are
being oveTTun with an uncomfortable
intemperance. Chancellor Mcconnell,
sitting i'm Tennessee, holds that while
any state can declare for prohibition,
no state can prevent the importation
of liquor or any other merchandise from
another state. And dealers in plenty
are sending bottled and jagged goods
into the dry territory by the carload.
The people have more than ever the
evils of intemperance, with no power
of regulation-and a very ineffective
hope in punishment.
Some time southern men and all 9TH
ers will realize that prohibition, to be
effective, is an individual matter; and
that the way to get it is for each man
to leave liquor alone.

CHINESE AND THE GIRL
TEACHER.

One of the Presbyterian churches of
Pittsburg presents a curious condition.
Until the famous Elsie Segel case, the
Pittsburg Sunday school had a num-
Der of girls teaching classes Of China
men. zee Tang. then a member, now
the superintendent, advised abandon
ment of the old plan. The Chinese
classes were placed in the care of men,
or of older women. And the Cinnamon
quit the Sunday school.
But the amazing phase of the case is
that the girl teachers themselves quit.
Some Of them made the point that the
change amounted to a reflection upon
their characters, on their prudence and
ability TO take care of themselves.
The incident is especially illuminat-
ing, in view of the missionary work
the churches are trying to accomplish.
But as an indication of motive on the
part of the young women, it is an abso-
lutte poser.

THEIR FAME AS GOLFERS.

1t will never do for Senator Smoot,
Senator Sutherland, Congressman
Howell or Governor Spry- to go east and
boast of their ability as golfers. The
country has been told by the New York
Sun that they are very bad actors, when
/ it comes to golf.
Speaking of President Tafts recent
visit to the Country club in Salt Lake,
and the incidents there, the Sun says:
Urged to give another exhibition of his
skill, Mr.. Taft mOdestly pleaded surprise
ar what ne had done, feared fOOZie and
turned the club over to Senator SmOot.
1t is a terrible thing to have TO set down.
but Mr.. SmOot fooled twice, peTspired
cOpiOusly and resigned the driver to Gen
eral Spry of the local militia. 1t is said
tell it not at Saint Andrew that Gen
eTal Spry scattered turf in every direc-
ton, but could not connect with the
ball To him succeeded Senator Sukher-
land. who Writhed dismally at the bust
ness and fell back with painful imi-
tation of a man enjoying his own dis
cOmfiture.
Not even the fact that Governor
Spry is concealed under a title far be-
meath him will render any of-the per-
sons safe.
And the funny thing about it is that
all three of them played quite as badly
as the Sun says they did.
But then. the eastern press should be
advised golf isn't the only game. You
should see at least three of the bad
golfers at work on a tariff bill.

sUPPosING.

Surprising the interstate commerce
commission declines to give to the
traffic bureau of the Commercial club
the full measure of relief prayed for in
the petition recently presented.
But suppOsing the commission does
give them the smaller relief of trans
continental rates; precisely the same
from the east to Salt Lake that trans
portation companies charge from the
east to San Francisco. And it is rea-
sonable TO believe the commission will
do that
1t will mean at the very lowest. and
on the present basis of business done,
more than a million dollars a year for
the people of Utah.
That stimulus to trade in Utah would
mean the building up of business here
to an unprecedented degree.
It would be precisely the same as il
congress, or Carnegie, or some other
opulent beneficence should distribute a
million dollars among the people pro-
portioned to the amount of their pur-
chases.
If that much of a victory is won, the

vice to Utah which no man can meas

meath the base of the neck: the small
segment of body extending about three
inches beneath, and in a transverse sec
ton equal to, the collar bone.
1t would be impiety of which few
men are capable to believe the woman
mentioned in the dispatch lacked SYM
metry of person. No gentleman will even
permit himself to think her abnormal
ly arranged in the matter of construc-
ton. One is bound to believe her an
swering in all fair respects to the plans
and specifications of that miracle of
creatiOn-the perfect woman.
All of which being true. leaves one

rived at: That must have been one
of the funniest eorsets ever seen in

THE CORSET AND THE CHEST,

Very many years ago it was settled
in the popular mind that whatever went
over the telegraph wires was truth;
that no falsehood could be transmitted
by an agency so clearly pertaining to
the intimate functions of the Deity as
electricity. the potent agency of the
celestial lightning And nothing in late
years has proved that a lie can be
telegraphed. Even the Tribune's false
hoods. printed under the appearance of
telegraph form, do not controvert the
ancient theory, because in such case the
Tmbune's kilograms simply are for
geries.
Which is only preliminary TO the gen.
eral question.
The telegraph brings to the newspa-
pers report OF a woman in "the east"
whose life was saved in an almost mi
raculous way. A man. in some manner
displeased with her. shot at the woman
with a revolver. and the bullet struck
her in the chest. but she was saved
from death by the steel frame Of her
corset.
Accepting the statement as true. since
II WAS telegraphed. one IS reduced TO
the cruel necessity OF believing that
either the woman or the corset was a
marvel Of improper construction. Ana
tomieal dictionaries define chest" to
be that portion OF tie torso directly be-

Because people from the east should see
the park by way of Salt Lake, they
have come here. Otherwise, they would
have gone the usual northern route
And while they were here, they have
spent some money, and learned some
thing of the good contained in Utah.
Also, the railroad company admits
the train was a money Garner.
There is a pointer for the Rio Grande
or for any other company that will
build a railroad south from Marysvale
to the Grand Canyon of the Colorado.
Fifty thousand people each year are
taken TO the canyon by the Santa Fe
on a branch line north from the main
road-a branch line that never can
hope to have any income except from
the tourist travel.
a line from Marysvale south would
penetrate a country rich in minerals. in
timber, in oil and in lands of inexhaust-
ible soil. 1t would get to the right in
stead of the wrong side of the Grand
canyon And it would carry three
times as many people through Utah to
the Colorado than are taken by the
Santa Fe.
And if that line were supplemented
by a road from Kanab through st.
George, to the Salt Lake Route at Mo-
dena, the riches and the wonders of
Dixieland would become known to the
people of the United States.

of friends of good government in every
direction, Here is a note brought by a
friend whose support means much to
the nominee; a friend whose influence

he does not reside within the city, and
insists for the present on the withhold
ing of his name:

of your very practical expression of ap-
prOval of the candidacy of Elmer l. Co
shen for councilman.
l am now residing outside the city, but
we have our property. frateTnal and So

of highest ideals in municipal govern
ment. / wish to most heartily commend

good people of the Fifth will rally TO the
support of Mr.. Goshen.

LET US BE REASONABLE.

Even at the beginning Of the city
campaign, when all participants are
feeling strong, before the burden and
the heat of the day depiete the DOW
ers, let US American citizens. in and
out Of the American party, be reason
able.
1t is not reasonable to credit the
American party with the improvement
that has been made in Salt Lake, be-
cause, so far as the public work is con-
cerned. it was provided for by the laws
OF Republican legislatures. Turn to
chapter Is, Compiled Laws Of Utah,
and you will find this statement sup
ported. Prior to that time public i'm
provements had been paid for in cash.
And the reason that more paving and
sidewalk had not been laid was be-
cause the burden of cash payment in
advance was too heavy. And the Re
publican legislature in 1901, and again
in 1903, and finally in 1905, enacted ali
the laws under which the public i'm
provement Of the past six years has
been made.
In every other city where public i'm
provement is done, the people are Civ
en- the privilege of paying in annual
installments-in scrip in some cases, as
here. So that when the people of Utah
came to the time where they could af-
ford Improvements, and where they
We're ready TO make those improve
ments, the Republican legislature made
the laws under which the work could
be done. And every foot of paving and
of sidewalk and Of sewer laid under
the American party administration was
provided for by the laws enacted at the
three sessions Of the Utah legislature,
AND EACH TINE BY REPUBLICAN
VOTES. There were no members Of
the American party in the legislature.
You know that
There was the start of it. So you
will concede it is unfair to credit the
Improvement to the American party
They can't improve a street unless the
people of that street want it improved
Therefore, an improved street argues
the power and warrant Of law. and a
desire for improvement on the part of
the people.
All the American party has done is to
handle the money. And you know by
this tin e they have permitted plenty
of it to stick 10 their fingers. Also,
YOU know that it requires twice as
much money TO have the paving done
by the city as it would to have it done
by private contract. 1t is a fair sUppo-
sifion that the extra half goes to the
favored contractor, and to the city Of
ficials in power.
Now, these are few of the reason
able things that it will be we'll TO keep
in mind before we all get sot" in the
work of the campaign All citizens
want to be right, and it is especially i'm
portant that we should be right this
year. And there are some fundamen-
tails that, possibly, have been over
looked.

MAYOR RRANsFoRp,s ERROR.

The Tribune prints an alleged state.
ment from Mayor Bransford, denying
that the tax rate in Salt Lake has beer
raised 'even one milT' since the Ameri-
can party came into power.
Surely the mayor never made that
statement. 1t is unlike him to openly
discredit the record. The mistake he
makes is in not forcing the Tribune tc
print his denial of ever having made
so foolish a statement.
Because the American mayor and
council HAVE raised the tax rate. And
in this city no man careful of his good
name will say to the contrary.
That doesn't include the Tribune. be-
cause it has no good name to be care
full of.

We observe that the American Min
ing congress has selected a Missouri
man to it's presidency. and continued
John Dern of Utah in second place.
There are times when one is obliged to
regard the American Mining congress
as a very amusing body. It would seem
that the general cause Of American
mining would have been advanced by
the promotion of the Utah man to a
place for which he is so eminently fit
