ALWAYS HAS BEEN.

The most unreasonable argument
that is ever advanced in behalf of
regulating the vices of Electric alley
and gambling instead of prohibiting
them. is the old one that these are
very old problems and yeNed the first
moraliSts
Shall We then continue to meet
these problems in ldentically the
same way that the FIRST moralists met
them. that is by shaking our heads
sadly and saying, 1T is too bad that
certain classes OF people will indulge
in these evils, but, since they do. we
might as we'll take our share of the
money"
Does a well enforced law prohibit
ing murder keep down the crime bet
ter than a system of fines would do2
That Is the question.
1t is probable that the first city
fathers and the first editors who
faced these problems assumed the
same attitude that is being assumed
in Ogden today, That is because they
were men. The city's mothers are
not talking about the problem being
a hopeless one by any means.
And there are cities. both east and
west Of us. that have successfully met
and routed these two evils.
There is growing resentment
against these evils that is gradually
spreading all over the United States,
and the feeling Is growing all the
time that America ought To be able to
and is able to settle great many
moral difficulties that have not been
seriously attempted by the older coun-
tries.
And. pray. above all things. dear
brothers, don't as YOU value the morals
ot the young people OF Ogden, use an
argument that is more degrading than
these evils themselves. II is as un-
true as it Is degrading.
And above all remember that the
statement is not true that law does
rot make people moral Law does
make people omTal where it Is we'll en-
forced We see law every day. It.

purer place to live,

ment II city councils, IL mayors. and
If editors would only say these things
can be prohibited Ogden would be
better place inside of year. IL would
be 75 per cent better. We are not
claiming that it would be 100 per cent
better. BUT isn't something better
worth striving for even if 1t does not
mean perfection? In the words OF Ar
thur Hugh Clough:
Say not the struggle nought ayaileth,
The labor and the wounds are vain.
The enemy faints not. nor faileth.
And as things have been they re-
main.
If hopes were dupes. fears may be

1t is impossible for the local physi-

have use for them over once a month,
third, he has not the time, even If he
has the special training, to do this
work. To get the most trustworthy
results this work should be done by a

Moon and Weather.
AS a rule we cannot depend on the
moon for weather changes. 1t 10 a
very tickle minded member of the So
lar system and like some people, US
ually agrees with whatever company
it happens to be with. The moon. as
rule, does not control the weather
but as a rule, the planets control the
moon. This may seem strange. but
whoever investigates the subject will
find the above statement to be true.
There is one condition, however, in
which tn moon stubbornly contends
for the mastery in weather making. If
you will talk to an old sailor, who is
a master in operating sail boats that
cross the great oceans, he will tell you
that when new moon and perigee and
the moons node occur together then
look out for squalls.
That was the first problem in plane
tary meteorology 1 undertook to solve,
and l found, by the weather records,

they are called, are onto their job;
