The Strain 10 Keep Up Appearances.

There are plenty of people in
all our large cities, who do not
allow themselves enough to eat,
and practice all sorts of pinching
economy at home for the sake of
keeping up appearances in SOC
iety.
What terrible inconvenience,
hardship and suffering we en-
dure on account of other peaple 5
eyes and opinions, What slaves.
what fools we make of ourselves
because of what other people
think, How we scheme and con-
trive to make them think we are
other than we really are.
1t is other peoples eyes that
are expensive. 1t is other peo-
pies eyes that make Us unhappy
and disconnected with our lot,
that make US strain and strug
gle and slave in order to keep up
false appearances.
The suit. the hat, must be dis
carded. not because they are
badly worn, but because others
will think it strange that we
don't change them.
The effect Of all this false liv-
ing. this constant practice of
deceit in appearances. in our
manner of living. and our dress
is undermining the American
character, running our genuine
ness. making superficial, unreal.
false.
No man can really respect
himself when he is conscious
that he is sailing under false
colors.
If you are wearing clothes and
living in luxury you cannot af-
ford, these things label you all
over with falsehood and are per
petual witnesses against you.
There is only one possible result
upon this character of falsehood
whether spoken or acted, and
that is perpetual deterioration.
1t does not matter whether you
wear lies, tell lies, or act lies,
the effect upon your character is
the same. Success Magazine.

INSURANCE IN GERMANY.

Sylvester Baxter in Atlantic Monthly.
a most admirable example is to be
found in the great national insurance
institutions Of Germany, organized to
protect the working classes against
1.-The suffering and restitution caused by
accid ents, sickness and the infirmity of
old age. The law requires employers
and employees to contribute to funds
established for the purpose, the nat
ional government also giving financial
assistance. These funds are admins
tered by great insurance organizations
carried on comparatively by employers
and employees. These organizations.
having large sums at their disposition,
are important factors in the money
market. Very sagaciously they give
preference, where possible, to objects
of a benef1cient cha racter. For example
the sick-fund insurance orga nizations5
thus assist the establishment of sani-3
itariums for the treatment of tuber-s
culosis, an enlightened selfinterest
teaching that it is a paying Investment;
the more sanitariums the less tuber-3
culosis, consequently the lighter the
draft upon their treasures. In the
same way, these insurance organiza-
lions perceive that by issuing loans at
lower rates than could be procured
from ordinary financial sources, for
the building of better houses for the.
working classes, they are more than
repaid for the difference between these
and ths higher rates that might be
obtained in the open market, since
their dwellings mean better health;
consequently, lessened expenditures
for sickness and death.

a course shows that he kaiser is bid

for an entirely new personality and a
new policy in the chancel lorship-
as Count Wedel, or the former am
bassador to Italy, Count Monts, both
of whom have been spoke of as candf-s
dates--it would have surprised, and
probably have disturbed, the public in
Germany. Sentiment there is against
any radical changes. and especially
against any step by the emperor that
might appear sensational. It is slgnih-
cant, in this connection. that newspaper
rumor in Berlin speaks Of Count Monts
as man Of too sharp a wit and too
vigorous an initiative to be wholly
agreeable to the kaiser in the present
juncture.

FOR pEAcE.

Our esteemed contemporary, the SAL
Lake Herald, in its leading editorial
Ion Sunday, referred to the happy
Il halcYon days when peace had como

past bitterness and then adds: We
grove inexpressibly that there is no
way of reyiving those blessed days.
Il There is a way of bringing harmony
and peace to Utah, and that without
the necessity OF voting according to
Instructions" Let the citizens who
have the welfare of Utah at heart join
forces and break up the political ma
chine that was constructed for the eXr
: press purpose of driving peace away.
8 Let the citizens who desire union OF
hearts and efforts in building up, take
control, and there will he peace.
The existence of an anti Mormon"
clique controlling a. political party, -
what makes the situation anomalous;
first. because any kind of anti-church-
ism Is Numerically opposed to the
genius of American government. ana.
second, because that CLIQUE Is utterly

Ing falsehoods and Misrepresentation
with threats OF other forms of persecu-$
ton as soon as 1t has the power. It
should be evident to all that as long
as that clique is able to command a.
considerable following, Just so long
will conditions remain abnormal, The
presence Of poisonous snake Is
enough to disturb the tranquility OF an
entire camp. To&insureg peace it must
be removed. & s. n ..
The problem, then, is to remove anti
nMormon, fanatics from the control
of local politics. and place public at
fairs in the hands Of impartial, broad,
minded citizens. Whether they are
church members or not does not mai
ter. But 1t does matter whether they
are anti Normons' with hatred and
bitterness iii their hearts. For t hat
sentiment is as utterly UNI American,
as anti Catholicism, or anti-Seniit-&

carry 1T into his politics is unworthy of
any office Within the gift OF the Ameri-
can people TO remove them from the
places they have usurped is the prob
lem. s
And that should not present insur-
3tnountable difficulties. In other Ties
good citizens have found it necessary
TO come together from either side Of
party lines to cooperate in the cleo
ton OF good, honest officers Some
times the state of public morals has si
aroused the people and called for
clean sweep. Sometimes the extraya-
sance in expenditures has gone 50 far
as to become alarming. The latter is
the case in New York. where the IN
