Eight-hour shifts have been or dered, so that one man will be on duty in or about the mausoleum every hour of the 24. No vandalism has yet been committed, and the posting of police sentinels is simply precaution.

UTAH is ALWAYS GOOD.

A travelling man said the other day to
John Hardy, private secretary of Gov
ernor Spry: 81 see Salt Lake has about
two thousand people up at Seattle. A
little while ago you had even more down
at Los Angeles. And the Utah people
are known to be liberal spenders wher-
ever they go. But can you make these
other cities reciprocate? VIII you ever
get the money back?"
Which is a pertinent question. Very
likely Salt Lake people are generous to
their neighbors. They go to Seattle, and
to the California coast. They go to
Spokane and Albuquerque. They go to
Denver and Chicago. Wherever there is
a show in which the state builders of the
continent are gathered together, there
goes the salt Laker, with his big heart
and his money, and his cordial invita-
ton.
OF course the effect of it will not be
lost. Maybe it is necessary for our men
ana women to help other expositions to
be successful Their labors viii be
bread on the waters. Pretty soon a
wave of Utah appreciation will sweep
over the country, and every dollar spent
in forwarding the fairs of other states
Will be returned with splendid interest.

HOW TO FIGHT THE TRUSTS.

If there be a milk trust in Utah, sure
ly the people here are fixed to fight it
enectuauy. Most families are so stu
ated that they can have a COW. And one
COW viii more than provide the average
family with all needed milk.
Also, if there is a trust in eggs, the
people have the means of self-defense
in their hands. If nearly every family
can keep a COW, every family without
exception can keep a number of hens.
And if they be reasonably well fed,
given plenty of clear water, and are
warm enough in winter, they will lay an
average Of two hundred eggs a year per
hen. And since eggs are worth about
40 cents q dozen the year around, that
makes a hen produce between Sc and 81
of food annually. And she doesn't cost
a cent for keeping. All she asks is that
she be permitted to inspect and pass
upon the garbage before it is rendered
to the care Of the wagon man.
Half a dozen hens win keep any aver
age family in eggs the year around.
The cost is nothing. The eggs will rep
resent the highest possible price quoted
in the market. And no egg trust can
levy tribute on the family so provided.
That is the way two of the trusts can
be fought and crushed.

UTAH DAY AT THE FAIR.

Even if it did rain on Utah day at the
Seattle fair, the assembled thousands
heard of Utah-and think better of the
state than they did before. For one
thing, the rain was a blessing. It
might have deferred less manly and
capable cadets who had dreamed of
making a fine appearance in their new
uniforms. But the salt Lake High
school boys stood there through hours
Of rain, marched through miles OF it,
and maintained alignment just like vet
Grams. That surely must have made an
impression on the visitors from other
states.
Judging from the newspaper reports,
Governor spry found an attractive audi
ence when he spoke of the work of the
cadets, of the forward march of Utah.
of the excellence Of the fair.
Taken all in all. Utah day at the fair
was worthily observed.
And it is worth observing. Exhibits
like that at Seattle cost our people some
money. But il is probably the best in
vestment Utah men can make. 1t COM
pels the attention of people who are in
the very act of making comparisons.

lingering dislike of Utah They find the
state the peer of any other, the leader
in many essentials.

men-possibly some in the audience
drawn from the element mentioned
who would count the world well lost for
the kisses. And besides, there be other
men in large numbers who never can
be convinced that there is danger in
beauty. No matter what has been the
experience Of mariners who listen TO the
sirens, more mariners come on later
ships. and dare the dangers of the
wrecking rocks in full belief that pretty
promises never can be broken.
And, for the matter Of that, it is not
necessary to tell a human derelict that
his vices are not fair. He knows they
do not make him happy. He is not be-
guiled from virtue by the beauty of
them. They do not enrich him, nor
strengthen him. nor make his life easy.
He knows that. No charming hour with
painted lips lures him along. The best
thing about right living is that it pays.
Men who follow it are happier. They
are healthier. They live longer, and
they get more out of life.
But, after all. that was the substance
of Mrs. Shepard's lecture to them. Her
fancy may have invented a picture
which her enthusiasm may have col
ored. But, really, it doesn't pay to be

HOLMES AS A PHYSICIAN.

Maybe the doctors have always been
mindful OF the fact that Oliver Wen
dell Holmes was a physician. The rest
Of US called him Doctor" but thought of
him as writer. Yet he was a first
class physician, giving to that profess
sion the best labors of his many years.
And in the celebration of his centennial
he was born August % just hundred
years ago-the physicians of the coun-
try, and especially of the east will pay
their tribute to his memory as a fore
most man in their profession.
Oh. Irving Wilson Voorhees,, d famous
New York doctor In recent talk with
the New York Times, paid a glowing
tribute to Holmes, from which the fol-
lowing extract is taken:
Baron Larrey. Napoleons favOrite sur
geOn, made a great and lasting impression
on the young American student, not 50
much perhaps because of the matter, but
rather because of the manner of his teach
ing "To go around the Hotel des In
ValideS,' wrote Holmes, with LarTey was
to live over the campaigns of Napoleon, TO
look on the sun of AusterlitZ. to hear the
the icy waters of Beresiua, to shiYer in the
SHOWS of the Russian retreat, and gaze
through the battle smoke upon the last
charge of the red lancers on the redder
field of Waterloo
If we want to get an idea of the siren
uOus industry with which Holmes pUr-
sued his medical studies, let us glance over
the chapters of his Medical Essays In
which he describes his life as student iu
Paris. Most of the better class of Ameri-
can medical students are sufficiently in
GUstTiOus, but how many of them rise at
$50, dissect till 10, get breakfast and then
attend lectures and demonstrations till .

wrote DR. Holmes, Il have passed on the
stone floor of the autopsy room at La
Pltie, wasting my time over little points
which a few years later would have been
easily settled by the microscope And
again. Nearly five hours in the day

ways with my notebook in hand
often devote nearly two hours to investi-
eating a difficult case and have
always a hundred patients under my eye.
] am not ashamed of the ambition of
being distinguished in my profession"
And that is inspiring to the student
of medicine. But it simply adds an
other reason for admiring the auto
crat" as an American. He must have
been a remarkable man. And he has
left a remarkable impress on the world.
Exact in his medical studies, successful
in his practice, he leaves a lesson for
writer's in every poem and essay. There
is clean English. There is strength
and beauty. And both reader and writer
can be bettered by a better acquaint-
auce with him.

PRAYER

Edmund Vance Cooke in American Mag
azine.)
Some people think prayer is a telephone
A patent transmitter TO hire or own,
And at every hint of a small desire,
To plug into the Great White Throne.
Some people think prayer is an elevator
A sort of an automatic waiter,
EteTnally ready, Supernally swift,
To pick them up and give them lift
Whenever they signal the Operator.
Some people think prayer is a kind of kite
A little cratic as yet in flight,
And consequently it isn't claimed
That it always reaches the spot where
aimed
But it carries the message up all right
Some people thing prayer is a flying
machine,
Impressive in power. but inclined to ca
reen,
And if any part Of the motor snaps
The whole thing falls in a huge collapse,
With your wrecked hopes somewhere IN
between.
But maybe prayer is a road TO rise,
mountain path leading toward the skies
To assist the spirit who truly tries.
But 1t isn't a ShibbOleth, creed nor code:
1t isn't a pack horse to carry your load;
It isn't a method; it's only d road.
And perhaps the reward of the spirit who
tries
Is not the goal, but the exercise!

HE CLOSED ONE SALOON.

Mr.. Tom Mackey, evangelist. said a
good thing in his farewell address to
some of his friends in Salt Lake. He
told them he had closed one saloon-and
that was the one directly beneath his
nose. And, come to think of it, if every
man would do that, there must inevita-
bly, come an end of the saloon.
Mackey has been a hard drinl1er in
his day. He has made just as sincere an
effort as any other man to destroy the
output of the stills And he has found
as all others must find-the hopelessness
Of the struggle Brave as his efforts may
have been, he never succeeded in ex-
hausting the stock of even one saloon.
So he exercised his right to control one
port of entry, by abstaining entirely.
There is a pretty good lesson for the
rest Of us-as TO the saloons, and every
thing else. Let every man do right, and
the world cannot go far wrong.

HARD WORDS ONLY AT HOME.

Senator George Sutherland brings a
good message from the eastern states.
People beyond the mountains think
kindly and speak fairly of Utah. 1t is
only here at home that the hard word
Is spoken against the people Of Utah.
That is a hopeful thing. One of the
effects of it is that the circle of defama-
ton will constantly contract: and that
even here at home no man will be en-
couraged by any one to take from the
fair fame of Utah.
There was a time and not long ago,
when the estimate of Utah entertained
by the east was very harsh. 1t was so
an excellent paper-felt warranted in
declaring that Utah is a community Of
criminals" And both the writer Of that
charge and the people who accepted it
found basis for their view in words con-
stantly uttered against Utah right here
in the state. only an extreme and ire
sponsible journal would now make such
a statement. And that is because Utah
has proved its right and title to a place
side by side with the oldest and the
most honored of commemorative.
In that less kindly but now vanished
day it was difficult to interest eastern
men of any standing in Utah PROPOSE
tions Especially was the farmer Of the
middle west unwilling to consider a land
ofering in Utah. The attacks made on
Utah by Utah men and papers turned
the best element in the country against
this state They would listen to repre-
sensations from Idaho, and we of Utah
do not believe there is any advantage to
be found in Idaho over the offerings here
Mt home.
out of the better estimate entertained
by eastern people, the fairer understand
ing they have acquired of Utah. will
come a condition more promising for the
state. Home makers can more readily
be brought here. The resources of Utah
viii more rapidly be developed by them.
The splendid opportunities that wait
here for youth and strength and ability
will be embraced.
And the last discOrdant voice win be
hushed forever in the general note of
Utah's praise for Utah.
