SCANDINAVIAN uyMNBooK.

1t will be pleasing news to the Scan
dinavian Saints. here as we'll as across
the ocean. that collection of melodies
for the Scandinavian hymnbooks VIII
shortly be published under the auspices
Of the Church. There are 240 melodies
and they are arranged for both the
Danish and the Swedish text. These.
however. will be printed separately. for
the greater convenience OF the different
congregations. The Swedish hymns
with its melodies will form a separate
volume. and so VIII the Danish hymns
and tunes. There are some original
compositions but most OF the melodies
are we'll known and of the Inspiring
class that has made Utah song famous.
Elder Hugo Peterson. who presIdcs
over the Scandinavian meetings In the
Ensign Stake. has made the collection.
and we need not say that he has given
a great deal OF time and painstaklng
care to 1t. The result is a hymnbook
which will give the Scandinavian Saints
a great deal OF satisfaction. They havo
been in need of just such book for
their choLrs and congregations, for
many years. Tho hymnbook Will prob
ably be ready for the public about the
time Of the next Conference.

ADVOCATES HOME TRAINING.

From a friend in Clarkson, Mary
land, the News" has received the fol-
lowing suggestions on an important
topic:
To the Editor-If the agricultural col
leges of the country are to teach farm
Ing to the boys they should also teach
housekeeping to the girls. and why not
call upon the government to give $4,000
to each OF the agricultural colleges for
the latter purpose?
If the colleges train the boys. 1t is
equally necessary that the girls be
too often caused by the bad housekeep-
ing and cooking of the girls. But do
the agricultural colleges teach the boys
farming? Do not their graduates flee
to the city faster, if anything. than the
boy ordinarily raised?
There Is an impression that the same
agricultural colleges are not training
the boys for the farms. but away from
them. The New York Sun. not long
since. devoted an editorial to the SUBJ
Ject. in which it said: mo graduate
of nn agricultural college was ever
yet known to go to farming"
Trade and technical schools are also
proving worthless. as l prophesied they
would be from their first introduction.
Andrew S. Draper commissioner OF
education for New York state, just said
the other day before the Massachusetts,
teachers at Worcester: practically
all OF the industrial and technical
schools in the United States do
not direct children toward tho indus
trial life. and they do not train work
men,"
II the schools are not doing what
was expected of them. what is to be
done? Boys must learn farming on

CRUELTY TO LIVE STOCK.

Mr.. John Partridge. president OF the
California Humane association. speaks
very feelingly of the conditions Of
Uock In winter on the cattle ranges OF
the West. This association is engaged
m exposing the suffering of the animals
and in suggesting the means of preven-
hon or alienation.
TN kind years. says Mr.. Partridge,
rwhen the grass is good and the winter
mild. the animals have a chance to
i've: but In severe winters, when the
rain and snow fall together, thousands
and thousands. without food, without
water. without shelter, are frozen to
heath. This cannot endure no man
has right to be party to such atroci-
nes; federal regulations must be had"
OF course II is not claimed that cat
nemcn are unmindful OF the protection
svs their e..sls.is and a great deal of
tno suffering that does occur happens
perhaps through thoughtlessness. for
the majority seem willing to be ad-
vised.
The fact Is that grazing on the arid
and semi-arid regions. considered with
reference to stock, including cattle
sheep. goats. horses, mules, and mis-
cellaneous stock, has been so great
that until quite recently the land was
not capable OF sustaining one-half the
stock it formerly did. owing to the
almost total destruction of natural
grasses.

FINANCIAL METHODS.

Moran's bill of twenty-odd thousand
american" party officials and employ
es was passed all right. as everybody
acquainted with American" financial
methods knew 1t would be. But In
passing upon Moran's claims the arbi-
traitors expressly stated that the City
was unable from it's records to show
what the correct quantities OF the ma
terials used were. In other words the
Inspection was so imperfect that the
City did not know, and had no means
of knowing, whether or not Moran had
charged for materials not used, OF TO
what extent an oyercharge may have
been made. For aught the City could
prove Moran may have used the mater
lal for which he charges. or he may
have used only half of 1t. The Citys
records are as unsatisfactory as Cooks.
The arbitrators could not draw any in
formation from them. and so the bill
was allowedl What kind of a busfness
administration Is that? Would the
mayor. or any honest man. do business
that way?
Councilman Murdoch, who has stud
led the matter thoroughly said a short
time ago, when the bill repairing the
wood pipe line was under discussion:
Il know there are enough fools in
the world and perhaps some OF them
are here: but " we allow that out
rageous bill, for coating the wooden
staye pipe with two feet of cement all
round Il In order to keep the pipe from
leaking. the children In the streets Will
laugh at US. have made an investi-
cation of this matter. and I want to
say now that 1t is disgraceful con-
1ition. Gentlemen, IL there is as much
cement and gravel In that Job of /. 400
feet as Mr.. Moran claims, then there
Is one cubic yard OF concrete for every
linear foot of wooden stave' pipe re-
paired. Tho pipe wasn't weak; II only
leaked. Our city engineer nor no other
engineer with any brains in his head at
all would have approved any such
thing. / tell you now there should be
some excavating done to see how much
concrete there is around that pipe
And there would have been no trouble
at all II the contractor had followed the
specifications drawn by the city engi-
neer. Three thousand feet of the pipe
was in good condition and did not leak
And II the other ], 400 feet was not good.
the stavcs that were leaking could have
been taken out and now ones put in
TO stop the leaks.
IF this claim is allowed hope some
public-spinted man Will file an action
In court and enjoin the city from pay
Ing It. 1t Is the dirtiest fraud ever per-
petrated upon this public"
This is tho only comment necessary
on the outrageous financial methods Of

Mr.. Secretary, I have brought up

"One OF the most interesting incl
dental experiences that 1 had when
serving as postmaster-g general In P~esi-
dent Gartield's cabinet" said Thomas
l.. James to me recently. happened
one day when I walked into the cabi-

found there instead Gen. Simon Gamer

Wayne MacVeagh was Garfelds at
torney-general. seated at window
that gave d vista of the Potomac and
smoking a very large and black cigar.
After the senator had explained
that the president had been called
away for awhile. the talk became gem
eral. Finally, something led me to ask
the general II he remembered his first
visit to Washington.
Indeed. 1 do he said, and I'll tell
you all about 1t.
I first went to Washington In the
latter part of February 1928. 1t was
just four days before the Inauguration
of Andrew Jackson At my hotel. the
morning after my arrival, 1 met
Pennsylvania friend, and also a Demo-
cratic member of Congress from Penn
sylvania. My friend told me that he
had an adtudicated claim and that
there was a voucher for 1t in the state
department, but that he couldn't get It,
I replied that 1 was going to see Henry

I turned to the congressman.

I asked
"''I. Go to see that scoundrel!" he
exploded. II should feel ashamed OF
myself I regard him as the greatest
scoundrel and reprobate in America,
and shouldn't be afraid to tell him SO
to his face"
"Well. I urged my Democratic
friend to come along with us. proms-
Ing that he would find no monster in
Henry Clay. and finally he reluctantly
consented. At the department Mr. Clay
received us in his office. In fact, meet
Ing us at the door. / introduced my
friend saying that he wanted to al
just a little matter telling Mr.. Clay
what 1t was. and then I introduced the
