PARENTs CAN HELP.

When the pupil feels that his parents
are against the teacher" he has a
small chance to get any good out of
the school When the pupil knows that
his parents are in league with the teach
er for obedience, and industry, and the
observing Of all rule, that child has d
better chance to get the good for which
the community is paying.
The point has not been better stated
than in the current issue Of the Gun
nison Gazette:
Parents can do much TO make or mar
the school life of their children. Nothing
will spoil a child's future career so read
lily as unfair criticism of a teacher, and
nothing will do more TO help make the
teachers work a success than the kuoWl-
edge that she has the good will and CO.
operation Of the parents. Every sensible
father and mother knows this and acts
accordingly
Time was when the bad boys FLASHED
with teacher, and then went home for
reinforcement-and got it. That was a
bad day for the teacher, but a worse
one for the pupil. And in the better
day of the present, only the wholly mis-
guided father takes up the grievance
of his.ch1d, and tells him the teacher is
wrong.

PRoeREss IN MILLARp.

We don't know exactly how many
people there are in Fillmore. but we
do know there is a newspaper there that
deserves encouragement, whatever the
present state of its revenues may be.
And that is because it is devoting its
columns to an effort to advance the ma
teriaI interestsNOf NIillaTd county. And
they call the paper the PROGRESSIVE
view.
In its latest number the editor has
given doubie-column expression to an
argument which his people certainly
should heed. He tells them of the ex-
ceIence of their land, and they know
he IS telling the truth. He tells them
they can raise grain and vegetables on
dry land as well as the same can be
done on the experiment farm below
Nephi. And they should believe that be
cause it is the truth. He tell them
they can use the irrigation water for
their orchards and gardens, and reclaim
all the deserts with the dry-farming
process.
Those are things the people will do
well to heed. It means the enrichment
Of the whole district. It means great
additions to the population. It means
the advancement of Willard county to
one of the best I'm the state. It means
that the God of all the world has given
to that people the materials out of
which prosperity and happiness can be
made through the industry and the in
teIlfgenCe Of men,
The state Of Utah need not be simply
dotted with farms and hamlets. Food
can be grown on every acre that dRsn't

market for all the food that the pro-
ducer doesn't need for his own sustain
ing. Instead of the dots, productivity
can-AND SOME DAY WILL-mark
ninety-nine hundredths Of the level area
of the state-and the dots viii represent
the unused portions
Papers working as the Progressive
view is working deserve well Of all

IN LATE SEPTEMBER

By EValeeu Stein.
Among the hardy marigOldS
The spicy gilliflOWeT unfOldS.
And in the elm a catbird scolds
With sauCy, Outspread wings.
To mellow sweets the pippins speed.
The sunflower discs are brown with seed
And round about them finches feed .
In Clinging yellow rings.
The latest poppy fires are dead.
But bright as blossoms overhead
In shining sheaves Of brown and red.
The frOst-upped pear leaves show,
While from their branches blackbir5
sing,
Or break in noisy ChatteTinE-
And slender silkeu CObWebS string
The tall grass down below.
Along the uplands, family seen
Across the fallOw lands between.
The winter wheat grows bravely green
Despite the coming cold,
And stUddinE all the stubble ground
In Nasseled shocks the corn is bound.
The ripened ears heaped close around
In piles Of purest gold.
To smoky wTeaths along the ways
The ueWly-kindled brush heaps blaze.
And filmy wells of purple haze
Mesh all the amber air.
Among the fIeeCes of the sheep
The yellow sunbeams softly creep.
And sweet cOntenment, wide and deep.
Rests gently everywhere

THEY WORKED WITH THEIR
HANDS,

one cannot well forget that Sunday
argument for the training of the hands;
for encouragement of actual bodily labor
It is a heritage of the young. and their
elders are taking it away from them
And the rising generation is weaker
and less capable because of its diverting
into the fields of lighter occupation.
Fifty years ago there was a spinning
wheel in every rural home, and looms in
most of them. Nearly every man out
side Of town was carpenter, OF black
smith; and most of them could very
handily mend the shoes Of their children.
Maybe the carpenters were not archi-
tects, nor the hlacksmiths capable of
running a foundry or rolling mill.
But the common things of their needs
they could provide.
And what was worth more than the
things they made was the fact that they
could make them. They were capable.
It trained them to resOurcefulness. Tt
educated them in the uses of time, and
the profitable employment Of their every
resource. They were potential Robinson
Crusoes, and could take care Of them
selves anywhere.
The war came, and the nation was
strong because its units were strong.
Wherever the men went, they could
make shift. They never were helpless.
When difficulty confronted them they
didn't run, nor confess defeat or inabiI-
ity. They had confidence in themselves,
even if the task were new-because they
had accustomed themselves to fight diff
ticulty, and overcome it.
Dr. Goshen is right in the statement
that as people we have gone too far
in idealizing the softer employments;
in giving ACKNOWLEDGMENT to work in
which young men may wear good
clothes, and in making generally unde-
sirabIe every sort Of physical labor
every product Of the hands.
Out Of that mistaken teaching our
young men have hurried to clerkships
IN the cities, and our young women have
scOrned to be cOoks-iiving on food less
fttingly prepared than they could make
It, And as the armies Of the food con-
Bumers increases, the army Of food pro-
ducers decreases-and the need of food
grows constantly-and so does the price.
No wonder the cost of living is high.
No wonder the condition of the masses
grows more difficult.
But the situation produces its own
remedy. Because Of that very lack Of bal
ance, the profitableness Of farming, of
hand labor in every form, increases. And
the men and women who turn to the
neglected fields and the ignored occU-
pations viii for generations reap the
biggest reward.

THIS IN ALL KINDNESS.

A gentleman of the Citizens party is
a good deal confused. He had expected
better results from his leaders. He be
lieved his leaders all were great men.
and above all, that they knew what
they were about And the gentleman
of the Citizens party was very sure
those leaders would never try TO violate
a law.
He had been prepared for a good
many other things, but he had not been
prepared for that. For example, he
knew that his leaders We're for prohibi-
ton last winter, provided that with pro-
hibition those leaders could secure con-
troll Of the Republican party.
He knew that some of those leaders
were against the stOckade. provided
that by closing it they could discredit
the Republican paper, And then
he knows that his leaders sent
Fernstrom and Hall to ask Mr. Brans-
ford. the father Of the stockade, to be
their candidate for mayor-providing
that they could get control of the city.
The gentlemanly member Of the Citi-
zens party has been a good deal dis
turbed by knowing that at least one Of
his leaders has been preaching prohtbi-
ton i'm the Citizens convention, at a
time when all e-leaders declared they
could elect their ticket in the city.
But it was reserved for the gentle
manly member Of the Citizens party to
discover at this late day that his lead
ers propose TO drive a coach and six
through the statutes of the state Of
Utah. He can read the English Ian
guage and he knows the law viii not
permit the duplication of candidates
names ON tickets at election. And he
wonders why his leaders insist they
have a right to do it. He knows they
can be arrested for trying to capture
Republican primaries with Citizens par
ty adhcrcnts; and ne wonders why they
insist on running their heads into that
moose.
Taken altogether, the gentlemanly
member of the Citizens party is begin
ming to believe that his leaders are a
set of bunglers, not over sincere. and
absolutely. certain Of defeat. So he is
asking himself why he should farther
follow so vain and scattering u lead.
Really, he has a right to the question
And we believe his best friends Will
tell him the answer is to get into the
Republican party, where alone effective
opposition to the American party can be
placed-and there remain.
The Republican is a citizens party.
after all-and the only true one Of that

I'm OTHER CITIES, TOO.

You remember the Citizens Union in
New York? It has been there for a
number Of years. It is composed of
some excellent men who read all the
bad they can find about politicians, and
believe a little more than they read, and
who banded themselves together to re
deem the city from political-from par
tisan-controI. One of their most prom
inent members dropped out this year,
and the word went forth that the Citi-
zens Union had died. There was a good
deal of jubilation. For while that or
ganizauon had never elected any candi-
date it endorsed, or defeated a candidate,
against whom it Ieveled its javeHns,
it had offended by its assumption of
superior civic righteousness. And that
made men glad when they heard it had
disbanded.
But the news was premature. And on
receiving correction, the New York sun
says:
Yes. the Citizens Union is still alive
Somewhere, in a reduced, but yet Unmis-
takably vital, form it IS still continuing
to obscure fact, misinteTpTet public SEN
uiment and in a minor way peTpetUate
a nuisance which was once intOlerable in
its extent. To supply transformation, par
tial and prejudiced statements, ignorant
and absurd conclusions, still remains its
peculiar mission. If it has given over
the task of saving the city outright, if
it has ceased to tell every voter what
his real duty to the world is it has not
yet retired completely from the profit
able exploitation of the field of self
Righteousness.
OF course the Sun is more harsh than
we would like to be in characterizing
the Citizens party of Salt Lake. But
still there does seem TO be a comfort
in knowing some one has found use for
a portion of the language which has
been unocCUpied- for so long.

DENVER A SUMMER CAPITAL,

Among the interesting things in cur
rent news is the story Of the Denver
men who are working to get the national
government TO establish q summer cap
ital i'm their city. And there is not a
known reason why they should not sue
coed.
Every year the President Of the United
states has to get out of Washington,
because that. is not a climate conducive
to health, or helpful for work. And the
President has to work, whether or not
congress is IN session.
Health abides at Denver-almost in
as great degree as at Salt Lake. There
the air is fine, the temperature gentle
but invigorating, and the nights bring
that sort of sleep which knits up the
raveled sleeve of care.
Furthermore, it is in the center of the
nation. A President, called on to ad-
minister the affairs Of a hundred mil
lions of people. would be in the heart of
his home And the fellows who can run
to Washington with every little annoy
ance would stay away-to the vast help
of the nation, and the saving of carfare
on the congressional limited. Matters
of no importance would not be Consid-
cred. Matters worth while would not
stop at the trip from New York to the
summer capital.
salt Lake heartily seconds Denver's
suggestion of a summer capital at the
Colorado metropolis.

She walks i'm beauty, like the night

greatest value. The excellence Of them
can not be better expressed than i'm the

referring to the courage and the stamina

The biggest flood in the history Of Ka-

dollars. A pipe line system was used in
connection with it for furnishing the town
with water for culinary purposes, and this
IS also gone. 1t is a calamity for small

STATE FAIR MAKES $4,000
SECRETARY SIMPSONS REPORT
SHOWS PROFIT FOR 1909.
Permanent Improvements In Three
Years Have Amounted to Over
$4,000.

Des Moines, Oct. 23.-Bad weather
and increased expenses reduced the
profits from the Iowa state fair this
year but Secretary Simpsons balance
sheet shows nearly 100000 in the
treasury as a result Of the exhibition
This years fair cost $4,000 more than
the previous one and $4,000 of the in
crease went into premiums. Mr..
Simpson reports the total receipts as
$137, 1872 so, and the expenditures $107,-
353.57, leaving profit of $29,S2S.50 i'll
the treasury. These figures may be
changed slightly in the official report
to the board of directors next month,
but they are approximately correct.
Secretary Simpson mas also prepar-
ed list of improvements made at the
fair grounds during the past season,
showing that $r55,S99.11 was expend-
ed in betterments. OF this sum $780,
900 was appropriated by the legisla-
ture for the new steel amphitheater,
but the remainder all came from fair
profits. During the past three years
a total of $150,0O0 has been paid on
improvements from the fair earnings.
Last year the sum was SAL 900 and
the year before it reached $4,000.
Next years Improvements will not be
decided on until the board meets in
December, but it is not thought that
as much money will be available as
formerly. ,...
