They are Miss Opal Baus, Miss Edith King, of Madison; Miss Louise Creamer. Master Clarence Schmidt. and Master David Shay, of Marianna. This is very important event in the lives of these children. and impressions are made upon their minds which they never forget, and which directs them in the narrow path of rectitude. We extend them our congratulations and best wishes for their future Christian characters.
 The firm of Prichard X Eldridge has surrendered Its store room in this city, but will continue it's piano agency. NIT.

MORNING GLoRIEs.

Along the foot Of Q hedge in First
South street morning gIories were plant
ed one happy day last spring; now they
are IN full bloom-tbeir pale colors made
vivid by the deep green Of their back
ground.
Morning glories are fair, wherever they
appear. It will be remembered that E.
". Howe once won consideration for
Kansas-even before William Allen
White arrived-by telling Of the morn
ing glories that banked their beauties
over the sod house Of the settler. They
are none the less eloquent here in Utah.
There is something very attractive in
a decoration of morning glory bloom
against a hedge. The hedge is none the
less forbidding TO intruders because OF
the fragrant beauty upon its sides. And
the bloom is the better for the strength
against which Is reposes.
Maybe there is something suggestive
too. The wise man has said that ODE
dience should be made beautiful: that
regard for the law is necessary, but
that much force is wasted in compelling
that yielding which is so needfuI for the
good of the state, when adroitness could
so easily olothe the prohibition with
attractiveness.
All resentment at the limitations of
the hedge vanish in the contemplation
of the reds and blues of the morning
glories. One doesn't want to force the
-z.~a 90 30 that boundary One is Glad
of the law, because It is pleasanter to
obey than 10 defy il.
Il was a wise heart that prompted
the willing hand to plant the morning
glory seeds at the foot Of the hedge
that day last spring.

"HoLDiNe FOR THE PEOPLE,"

It is all right to hold natures re-
sources for the people, If you don't hold
them too long.
There is lots Of land in Utah, and some
water. It would be better for the peo-
pie to have the land watered than to
listen to threnodies on the sacredness
Of the peoples rights.
1t would be better for the state to
have every available drop Of water
turned on the land than to have the
water held inviolate waiting for some
miraculous dispensation Of a govern
ment official whose paternalism, like
the pool Bethsadia. must wait the
stirring Of some tardy angel
The main thing is to get the land to
producing. After that the rights of
the people will not suffer. It would be
better for these millions of acres to be
controlled and cultivated by one great
syndicate than not to be cultivated al
all. And the way things are going,
they are not being cultivated
Any encouragement to men who can
bring water 90 the land should be given.
Any lettering influence should be dis
couraged. Make the land raise wheat
and corn and fruit and hay. That will
be for the best good of all the people.
And this is not solely a Utah ques-
ton. It concerns the whole nation. Ten
years ago Great Britain bought half its
wheat and -four from the United States.
Last year Great Britain bought less
than one-third of its supply from this
country They have found wheat in
Argentina, and the United States have
not more wheat to spare. There is a
national need for bigger productivity.
The crops have been big in recent years
Travelled men say there will be more
wheat and corn this year than ever be-
fore. But the need grows faster than
does the supply. Our people must have
more wheat and corn TO sell. They
can't get it without bringing more land

HOW AN EDITOR WENT WRONG.

In the current number of The Fra,
an excellent magazine that comes from
Eas Aurora, and the home of the I'm
nort-l is found a very long and very
bitter article from the capable pen of
William Marion Reedy. sometime editor
of the St. Louis Mirror. And therein
Mr.. Reedy states without fear OF sue
cessfuI contradiction that all the news
papers Of today are dishonest, and that
truth is not in them. Which makes one
wonder if Mr.. Reedy speaks from ex-
perience. or discovered the turpitude CO.
incident with his retirement.
Under the head Of The Myth OF a
Free Press" Mr.. Reedy declares that
the newspapers are here-nowadays-f

THE MAN AND THE MACHINE.

One Of the impelling questions forced
on public attention by the recent strike
in the PittsbuTg steel mills is this: Are
the men TO be considered ana treated
as machines? And the answer to It
challenges the interest Of thoughtful
men and women all over the country.
The proprietors of those mills made
fixed appropriation for each depart
ment of their mills: So much money for
that labor became Identified III class
with the insensible metals that had been
builded into rolls and trip hammers and
furnaces.
And that is not a good way to con-
slider men. The effect of the strike Is
TO compel a different estimate. The men
will have to be rated as human beings.
II is difficult to understand the fatu-
Gus view which permits employers to
count flesh and blood as in the same
class with machinery. Back of the ma
terials with which their millions are en-
ployed are the factors with which those
millions work The machines they can
lock and leave at night; or can turn
them over from one shift to another.
The machinery viii not think. It will
not leave the place. It may wear out
or break down, but it will not Of its
own volition do anything.
With men it is different Because
they are men. they viii think. The
better they are, the more they will
think. The more they think, the more
value they are. Not merely to their
employers for the moment. but to the
great United States in which they have
become a political part.
Wise owners of mills will treat their
employees as men. They may not do It
because o. their love for employees; but
they viii, being wise, do It because il IS
for their own interests. Workmen wisely
handled make better citizens than work
men abused. Better citizens make for
the permauence of investments. Give
the men a share in the profits of the
establishment, and they become identi-
fed beyond the limits Of the payroll.
Treat them as machines, and they be-
come-and remain-less than machines.
They go backward in citizenship, and
in worth to the capital that employs
them.
It will be e sad day for the United
States when labor IS put in the same
category with insensate wood and
metal It viii be a better day for capt
tai when IL comes to recognize their
workmen as human beings, Of present
power, and Of tremendous potential
ties

THIS is THEIR RIRTHMoNTH.

Holmes and TennysOn were born in
August, 1909. This is the centennial of
their advent into the world. They were
not the only men children born in Au-
gust, 1909 but they are probably re-
membered by more people than most of
the others. Neither is likely ever to be
entirely forgotten.
There is a tendency to regard Ten
nyson as having passed the monday of
his popularity; and in point Of numbers
that may be true. But 1t is inconceiv-
able that the Idylls OF the King and
many of his shorter poems will ever be
forgotten while the English language
is spoken and read. Enoch Arden will
be a classic impossible to Danish from
human thought, and there are epigrams
and couplets in Locksley Hall that will
embellish literature as long as men shall
write.
Can you imagine Crossing the Bar
being forgotten; or the coming of a day
when The Brook viii not be cherished ?
We Of America may find some graft
hcation in the statement that Holmes is
G. stronger factor in the intellectual life
Of the world than is the great laureate
Of the Victorian era. But one may bow
at his shrine without refusing homage
TO TennysoH. For there is no geography
Of genius.
The Chambered Nautalis remains a
gem in literature; and so long as men
recede from their youth The Last Leaf
Will be quoted with a mildly saturnine
amusement, and a magnificent philoso-
ply.
And If 7 should live to be
The last leaf on the tree

time. All the rest is leather and pru-
nella."
Naturally I viii be asked: What is the
remedy for all this?
Wherein Mr.. Reedy is mistaken. He
viii be asked why he doesn't take some
thing for 1t. What he needs is a little
attention TO a bilious condition which
may make him trouble if longer neg
lected. And the next day he should
take quinine, and quit expecting people
to listen to him. They don't care a
whole lot what he has to say. Imag1n-
ing that they do is what has made
William Marion uncomfortable.
Newspapers always are a little more
honest than the communities In which
they are printed. And as every COM
munlty is more honest than dishonest
more good than bad, it follows that the
newspapers are to be had for better
ard not for worse.
The talented but bilious contributor
to The Fra has parallel in the man who
declares that there are no good women,
because he has been unfortunate IN
getting briefly acquainted with one
woman who was bad. Also he has par
allel in the woman who declares no
man is honest, and bases her judgment
on an unfortunate experience with one
man who really wasn't all he should
have been.
Horace Greeley seems to be the ideal
of Mr.. Reedy. That is because Mr.
Reedy shuts his eyes to everything but
the fact that Mr.. Greeley was for years
the guiding spirit of the New York
Tribune. But If he he'd not been IA
vored by Providence with a business
office having q better commercial hon
esty than his own, Horace would have
been reduced to the tender mercies OF
the almshouse long before he broke into
the Cincinnati convention.
Newspapers usually are run by re-
sponsible owners. That means that the
paper will come as near TO paying as ii
honestly can But most owners under.
stand quite as well as does Mr.. Reedy
that the most valuable asset is the con.
fdence Of the people, and try quite a:
hard as he would have them to wiz
and hold that regard. Sometimes they
make mistakes. But their aim is tC
be fair with the people Anything else
is suicide
The trouble with William Marion
Reedy seems to be that some one has
told him his services were no Longer
required.

WHAT THE WOMAN THINKS.
BY HELEN OLDFIELD.

BY HELEN OLDFIELD.
No woman is justified In concluding that
a man is in love with her until he himself
makes her acquainted with the fact IN
language which is not to be mistaken
Moreover, the declaration must be by word
of mouth, or given, as legal phraseology
hath il, in writing over his own hand ana
seal One hears and reads much or the
eloquent language of the eye, of the poetry
of looks, but common sense and custom
hold that none has right to interpret Tor
another, excepting by leave and with due
instructions.
Only a foolish woman, and one who, in
addition to her folly, is possessed of over
weening vanity will fancy every man who
is politely attentive to her to be personally
attracted by her man may admire
woman greatly, and yet feel no heart
warnings for her; he may like her thor
oughly and enjoy her company and con-
versation without even a passing tnclina-
ton to seek her as companion for NE.
Indeed, a man may even love a woman,
yet not be IN love with her, the two
phrases Of affection being as FAR removed
the one from the other as the points of
the compass may be. Neither, in spite of
the we'll worn saying to that effect, does
love always beget love. Aff1nities in love
do not by any means partake or the ma
ture of chemical affln1UeS, which are con-
stitutionally reciprocal. There are many
men and. unfortunately, many women,
who are in the condition Of the comedian
who declared that his love reSembled jug
handle in that it was all on one side.
Undoubtedly the conventions of society
sometimes place the woman in a difficult
and delicate position. She must upon no
account show herself too ready to en-
courage possible lover, lest by so doing
she make herself cheap" as the old
fashioned saying is; but also it behooves
her not to be too distant in her manner,
else her maidenly reserve may be mis-
taken for GOODNESS and chill the ardor of
the would-be sutton. No sensible man is
! likely to risk a proposal unless he has
cause to expect that it will be favOrably
entertained. Therefore, too little encour-
! agement may be as bad, if not worse. than
! too much.
