SEEMS TO BE NECESSARY.

At a recent meeting of Socialists in
Unity hall, a number of attendants ex-
pressed themselves in condemnation of
religious organizations which require
obedience of their communicates. The
prevailing opinion was that each per-
son in the congregation should be a law
unto himself.
That is a very fine notion, But it
doesn't work in practice
Numbers of those in the meetings
would probably go farther. and hold the
same privileges for the citizen; insist
that no authority should dictate to them
what they shall or shall not do. Which
also is a pretty theory, but fails when
reduced to practice.
We know Of no great work of the
world, requiring human interposition,
that has been accomplished without or
ganization. And organization implies
authority. And that implies obedience
The Society OF Jesus-commonIy called
the Jesuits-sent their work over the
continent of America. Its priests blazed
the path which later the trader and still
later the pioneer followed. Marquette
was at Chicago long before the first
settler and left Indian converts and
chapeis all the way from Detroit to La
Crosse, on the Mississippi river,
The men sent by that society obeyed
orders implicitly. If they had not they
never would have succeeded.
The Methodist church was a strong
organization-in the best sense of that
term.
Party organizations are subject to the
same rule. There must be some waving
of the general right in order to secure
the general unity of action toward a re-
suit desired by the many. A party
without leaders can no more effect re-
forms than a mob can defeat an army.
Possibly it is because absolute indi-
vidual independence is impossible. Pos
sibly it is because men need to be led
even when they think they are capable
of personally conducting the affairs of
their generation. But the fact remains.
Big work of any kind is done, and al
ways has been done, by organization.
Organization means authority on the
one hand, and obedience to it on the
other. These things seem to be neces-
sary.

FISk'S PRICE OF LIES.
(PhiladeIphia Recordl

7
James Fisk, jr., had, been a peddler
from his bOyhoOd days through New
England towns. His father was a ped
dler, and James had been brought up in
that life, absorbing all the bluff, nerve
and hashy display characteristic of the
travelling vendors of Yankee notions
and tinware, who were conspicuous IN
the early days, before merchandising
had developed to a perfect system. 1t
may be said of Fisk that he had been
a prince Of peddlers, and his wagon was
spectacular in appearance, and to
which he drove four well-groomed
horses that always attracted a large
crowd of rural admirers wherever he
went.
A story of an incident of the days
when he was travelling with his father
illustrates Fisk's standards of moral
honesty. An old woman charged Fisk
senior with having misrepresented the
value and quality of piece of calico
sold at 1215 cents yard.
We'll, now" said Fisk, junior, 81
don't think father would tell a lie for
121a cents, though he might tell eight of
EN- for a dollar"
James junior had graduated from a
peddler to a merchant and had accu-
INFLATED $4,000 when he came to Wall
street.

RULES FOR THE HUNTER.

There is a good deal besides hunting
in the lessons to be learned from Col
onel Roosevelt's South African letters.
People have been reading them in the
magazines recently; and they rise from
the perusal feeling that, if this is not
the first lion hunter, it is the first who
has perfectly presented the story. And
out of a bit of comment-intensely help
full to the reader-one finds this:
The dangerous game of Africa are the
lion, buffalo. elephant rhinoceros and
leopard. The hunter who follows any
of these animals always does so at a
certain risk of life or limb, a risk which
it is his business to minimize by cool
ness. caution, good judgment and
straight shooting.
By the way. that is a pretty good rule
for the man, young or old, who goes
hunting for any of the things desired
in life; and the hunting grounds for
most are here in the region immediate
ly about us.
Goodness, caution, good judgment
and straight shootingl"
That is a good list of guide posts for
everyone In business, in politics, in So
cial affairs. in every organization. they
Will be found helpful. Careful follow
ing of them viii lead to success. Neg
lect of either will as certainly lead to
failure.
And of the number, the essential, after
all, is the last. Straight shootingl Don't
waste shot. Don't shoot till you are
ready, till you are certain of effective
results. Never shoot till there is need
for it, and then shoot straight. There is
time for shooting. and a time for run
ming. But the man who observes eau

THE WESTERN PACIFIC.

Now there are five roads into Salt
Lake. The completion of the Western
Pacific-for it is completed and practi-
cally in use-makes Salt Lake a rail-
road center not to be despised.
And no one is going to despise the
Western Pacific railroad. The course of
it is pretty nearly directly west from
Salt Lake to the crossing Of the South
ern Pacific at Winnemucca, New;
thence on west to Beckwith. in Plumas
county. Cal; then to Oroville, in Butte
county; then on south through the Won
derfully rich country which has Marys-
vile as a center; across the river and
through Sacramento. and then on south
to Stockton, and due west again to Oak
land and san Francisco.
The Western Pacific will be an ad-
vantage to Salt Lake in many ways. It's

THE NINTH AVENUE CAR.

If Salt Lake had been an ordinary
city, there would have been some sort
of celebration over an event so impor-
tant as the opening of the Ninth avenue
street car line. But here, where inn
provement follows fast on the heels of
the one preceding. the extension of the
street car service to the higher lands of
incidents of the hustling city. But it is
a big incident whether or not it attract
ed the general attention.
For a part of the way the Ninth ave-
nue. line follows the course of the Sixth
avenue cars. and the people in the north
of the city are even better served than
before-which is putting the case rather
strong. But there is a good deal of
country to the north of Sixth avenue,
and it is filling with amazing rapidity.
a good many Salt Lake people have not
within the past two years been up there
at Inspiration Point, where the road
comes around from City Creek canyon,
bends east, and runs to the fort And
they are denying themselves a pleasure
which is so inexpensive and so rich in
payment that everyone should make the
journey.
A world of paving has been done.
Streets have been opened far and away
beyond what was thought to be the linn
its of the city few short years ago.
Houses by the score have been erected.
Lots have been bought by the hundred.
Some are being held for a rise, but for
the most part they are either now being
improved by the erection of homes, or
they will soon be so enriched
The elevation is fine. The view is I'm
tied only by the circling rim of the hills.
The air is pure, and the soil is all that
can be asked in garden and orchard

to the effective service of the cit", and

CAN THE FARMS BE MADE
BETTER?

Now, The Herald-Republican con-
fesses to a little timidity when it comes
to cIiticising the farmers. But when a
farmer himself comes in and points out
some of the means by which the agri-
cultural sections can be made better, it
is time for this paper to lend a hand.
And this is what one of the best
farmers in Utah county suggests:
There should be a law requiring every
farmer to destroy all noxious weeds that
grow on his place, along his irrigating
bitches, and on the highway in front of
his farm. Many of the older states
perhaps all of them-require farmers to
destroy all weeds of a harmful nature
Canada thistles in particular; and if
they do not, they are prosecuted and
fined. Such law would be helpful to
the whole people of Utah.
There are numbers of weeds that
should be laid under the ban by law.
Besides the various kinds of thistles,
there are the northumberland to
wool, among other objections to it; bur-
docks, wild oats and whiteweed.
No farmer should be permitted to al
low them grow on his farm, because the
seeds are carried to the land of his
neighbor, and the area of the pest is
widened the damage of the careless
man is inflicted on the innocent neigh
Dor, both far and near.
L. ELL
safeguarding the course and care of ir-
rigating bitches. Until that time when
we shall have closed bitches of metal or
cement through which to carry the wa
ter for irrigating, the law should forbid
any farmer permitting water to run
from his ditch upon the highway. There
are country roads in Utah that would
be excellent nearly the whole year
round. if it were not for careless land
owners who permit water to habitually
run upon the highway from their care
lessly maintained bitches.
And the law should require every
farmer to take care of his fences, so
that no loose wires could imperil his
neighbours stock, or the passage of ami
mails in the public road.
A law of this sort, strictly enforced,
would make every rural neighborhood
attractive in appearance. 1t would re-
suit in a better-because "a cleaner
grade of wheat. 1t would make haul
sing of loads an easy instead of a diff
cult matter It would make every high
way safe and Clearly.
Talk TO your prospective legislators
about it, The farmer is right Such a
law would be for the good Of the whole
state of Utah And that is what all of
us desire.

KENTUCKY HARDsHELLs.
Detroit News.)

Captain Tracey, who lived down in
Kentucky, was a good old hardshelI
Baptist, who occasionally would tell d
story at the expense of the brethren.
Years ago they were not so conspicu-
ously orthodox on the temperance ques-
ton as they are in our time.
"On one OCCASION" said the captain,
the brethren in my region were about
TO have a grand church gathering, and
all the faithful in the neighborhood
were expected to exert themselves to
entertain suitably and Hospitality the
visiting brethren. Two of my neigh
bors met each other just before the
grand gathering. One of them said:

o6EYING ORDERS.
Nondon Telegraph.l

Seamen are strict disciplinarians, and
a ships crew seldom even dreams of in
terpreting a commanders orders other
wise than literally OF the recognized
rigid type was a certain English cap
tain.
One day, while the ship was in a GER
tain port, the captain gave a dinner to
some town acquaintarces, and as the re-
sources OF the ship were not great, some
of the sailors were deputed to wait on the
table to reinforce the insufficient num-
Der of stewards.
As these men were not used to such
work. each one was told exactly what
service would fall to his share.
The hour came. and the dinner went
merrily on. Presently, however, one of
the ladies wanted piece of bread. There
was none near her, and the finely disci-
plined stewards seemed to be quite blind
to her need. She turned her head and
spoke softly to the man at her elbow.
Bread, please" she said
He looked regretfully at the bread. and

completion is matter of pride to our
citizens. 1t opens a field entirely new
to both sections. Passengers viii reach
San Francisco in as quick time as by
any other line, and through a region in
every way delightful, besides possessing
the charm of novelty.
Salt Lake is proud of such bond of
union between the capital of Utah and
the capital of California. And the deni-
zens Of the Golden state have two rea-
sons for coming to Utah where they
had but one before.

The WAY YOU LOOK AT IT.

They say there is a tribe of people in
Asia, far over to the neighborhood of
Thibet, who live by farming, and cult
vate their crops by the reasonable meth
cd of cursing. They don't water the seeds
when these have been put into the
ground. They swear at the sky until it
rains. They don't hoe the corn when it
has come up. They simply invent new
and terrible imprecations to induce it
to grow faster. And they don't pull out
the weeds. They just lash their mag
ination for a new variety of profanity,
designed to exterminate bunch grass
and pigweed.
The most successful farmer is admit
tedly the most profane. The one who
always loses in the competition of crops
is the one who tries by simple language
and gentle speech to get his corn to
grow as becomes the best of its kind.
We grieve to note that the New York
Sun inclines to the belief that we free
born citizens of the United States con-
duct our elections in the same manner
In fact, the paper over which Mr.. Dana
presided so successfully and left so pre-
maturely, makes a broad hint that if
the Thibetan people were to come to
any American city of size and listen to
the remarks made about each other by
the respective advocates of contesting
candidates, they would go back to the
plains Of Asia equipped with the equiva-
lent Of a shipload of new agricultural
implements.
Which is a very severe way of saying
that the people who won were the mas
test.
