WHO GETS MOST JoYq

Who do you think gets the most joy
out of Christmas giving-the giver. or
the one that receives? OF course, you
know what the Bible says; but some of
you, down in your hearts, are inclined
to question that it is more blessed to
give than to receive. Yet that is the
truth.
There is the illustrative little story
Of Jack May printed in The Herald
Republican Wednesday morning. 1t
was a little thing-the feeding of a
hungry child, and the giving Of a little
present. 1t gIaddened the heart Of the
child, of course; but the thrill Of that
happiness has been tempered and
erased by the many things Of youth.
It gladdened the heart of the grown
man, and the sweetness Of that mo-
ment grows sweeter with every day
that is added TO age.
It is one Of the delights Of maturity
that the helping hand is never empty.
for when it has poured happiness into
the. life of a child it comes back to
warm the heart Of the giver with a
permanent satisfaction. The element
Of the intellectual enters into the
equation. The giver has thought out
the necessities Of the case, and the
reasons for the gladness that will fol-
low receiving. The element Of sacrifice
is there. The element of service-of
actual personal contributions a fac
tor.
It certainly is more blessed to give
than to receive.
Try and remember that. It doesn't
help much to give to those who expect
it. The blessing comes by helping those
who viii be surprised as well as helped
and helped as much as surprised.
There is only a little more than a
week to Christmas. You watch. You
viii see some chance to give-and be
glad of it al the rest of your life.

B. Y. us GOOD WORK.

one cannot fail of admiration for the
faculty and students of the Brigham
Young University Of Provo. Fifty thou
sand dollars were subscribed to erect an
administration building which should
be known as the Maeser memorial. In
part it was to answer the demands of
the school. In part.it was 70 express
the general honor felt for the late Dr..
1Iaeser-who. though gone, leaves the
impress Of good work and the influence
Of service.
1t was found the subscribed sum
would not complete the building in the
manner. most desirable. So teachers
and pupils and friends generally re-
solved to collect an additional ten
thousand dollars with which to make
perfect the task so worthily begun. And
now they are striving to secure that
sum.
Much of it viii come from those who
have already given. More should come
from the people Of Utah everywhere.
who know the need Of the school, and
have confidence in the value OF the
work done. There should be no diff
Guilty in raising the funds required.
And there win be no regret ever in the
heart OF any one who makes sacrifice
for the Accomplishment Of the schools
desire.

WE THINK THE MAYOR is
WRONG.

To tell the truth. we didn't expect
Mayor Bransford would agree with
Councilman Hall in the matter of
street lamps in Exchange Place and
Cactus street; in that region improved
by Mr.. Newhouse.
The incidents will readily be remem-
bered. Mr.. Newhouse bought land on
which the most notable improvement
was the old Utahna park; where scenes
disgraceful to the city We're the most
constant characteristics. He erected
there two eleven-story buildings. He
made every foot Of ground in that
neighborhood vastly increase in value.
He opened two streets on his own
ground, paved them, guttered them,
supplied them with sewer facilities,
and gave them absolutely to the city
Now he proposes to erect a number
Of street lamps at his own expense, and
asks that the city furnish electric
lights for them. 1t viii cost the city
about fifty dollars a year for each
lamp. Mr.. Hall opposed the move
ment and secured its defeat. chiefly
on the ground that it would establish
a bad precedent. And Mayor Brans.
ford, when the council reconsidered its
action, and voted to supply the light,
has declined to give his approval to
the plan.
That is what We didn't expect of the

EARLY CLOSING OF STORES.

As to the matter of closing the retail
stores at an early hour of the evening
there is a reform already ia the hands
Of the women. The object aimed at is
declared TO be the liberation of women
clerks from their exacting duties
through unnecessarily long hours. And
the answer to the problem can be read
if you win look over the throngs in the
stores as the moment Of closing ap-
proaches.
Men are the most offending creatures
in the world. They rarely are right
But here is a charge of which they
cannot be convicted. They can prove
an alibi The men are not there in
harmful numbers. It is the women
who crowd the counters, and hurry the
clerks.
We are not charging them with pur-
posely arriving late, nor with inten-
tionally adding TO the WEAKNESS Of the
already wearied saleswomen. Blu,
there they are. and there they insist in
staying till they get what they came
after.
Any time the women of Salt Lake
viii get to the stores in the forenoon,
or early enough in the afternoon to
make their purchases and get away,
the doors of the place will shut at 6
O'Clock. The crush Of men to the de-
partment stores viii never keep them
open.
1t is women demanding relief for
women. And We repeat: They have

their Ovy-4, hands

SUBSIDY" AND "PRoTEcTloN."

Some friends Of the ship subsidy
plan have appealed to the newspapers
of the country to quit calling it a sub
sidy And the Indianapolis News boots
at the idea. That admirable paper
adds that there was a time when
friends Of protection felt it would be
better if a more popular title were EN-,
ployed.
Which is an unfortunate reminder
There is no good reason why honest
men should dodge an honest name.
What the government is asked, in the
matter Of steamship encouragement, is
a subsidy. What made the United
States the home of prosperous labor

Call things by their right name If
enemies seek to make it unpopular, be
assured that the sound sense Of the
American people will give it the right
significance, and endorse it in the end.

GOOD FOR THE COMMERCIAL

Now there are a thousand men band
ed together in the Commercial club.
And the first motive of their organiza-
ton is TO help build up Salt Lake.
There are other incidental motives.
Assembling in a social way is one of
them. The dining room privileges are
something. Opportunity to see an Oc-
CasionaI good game Of billiards is an
other. The presence Of current reading
matter IS another. And the ability to
correct a Sunday collie without visiting
a physician may appeal to some.
3 But greater than all others is the de-
finite purpose Of the club to help the
city. In the past, that organization has
done many things that are helpful. In
the future, the opportunity viii be
greater. There are more members. Out
OF the larger number certainly some
win bring contributions Of ability and
purpose.
And with the bigger power comes the
larger responsibility. They viii move
into the new house presently. They
viii have the finest home Of any COM
InerciaI club in the west. Membership
there viii be an asset for any man. 1t
not only lends a distinction, but it helps
the man in living up to the best tradi-
tions Of gentlemen.
This is the capital city Of the state.
out OF that club and into every chan
mel Of business viii go the club in
duence for the greater Salt Lake, for
the more populous Utah, for the pro-
motion OF the state as q whole into the
very front rank Of the nations COM
monwealths.
There will be many opportunities for
the Commercial club to lend a hand, to
make each passing year better than that
preceding. Never before has so much
of power been possessed by it And
through all the future state and city
shall expect-and we are sure will re-
ceive-a cordial and effective assist

TAKING TOO MUCH LAND.

in certain sections Of the state, where
land is available for entry under the
Smoot law, residents of the vicinity
have avaied themselves Of their rights
in the matter beyond the limit of their
abllity-and in some cases beyond the
measure Of their purpose to perfect
title.
They have g. perfect right to file on
the land. They have a legal right to
tell all subsequent inquirers that there
is no unclaimed land, but there is a
tract here and there which has been
filed on, and which win be released for
a consideration.
But as they want their state to be
developed, no man in Utah has a right
TO take up one acre of land that he
does not intend and is not able to re-
claim. He has no right to make filing

Mr.. PARK ON THE SCHOOL
BOARD.

Mr.. Sam c. Park has been made a
member Of the school board. He takes
the place to which the late Mr.. Chess
man was elected-the place left vacant
by that gentleman's death.
It is not likely a better man could
have been named. Mr.. Park is thor
oughly fitted for the Office. He is
equipped with the broadcast view Of
school mission, alive to the needs OF
the student class. and brings to the de-
alterations of the board a recognized
capacity as a successful business man.
Furthermore, his presence on the
board will add to the confidence the
community feels in that body. 1t is a
distinctly fortunate selection.

Softly, softly die away
Glowing colors of the day,
Failing lights are pale and wan
When the setting sun is gone:
And that red streak in the sky
Shows that even day must die.
Softly creeps the evening on
When the radiant day Is gone,
One by one the stars CLEAN forth.

Softly chilly twilight goes,
Softly comes the nights repose.
