SANITY IN EVERYTHING.

David S. Rose, mayor Of Milwaukee,
is a temperance man. He is a man Of
excellent character, and correct life. AS
a business man, as a lawyer, as an
American citizen, he stands the peer of
any other man in America.
He recognizes the evils Of the saloon
business, but he doesn't believe prohi-
bition is just the best way-or at all a
good way-to correct those evils.
When a man Of that sort speaks in an
unpopular cause, it must be because he
has a message that thinking people can
afford to hear. He will speak on True
Temperance" at the Salt Lake theatre
Tuesday night of this week.
What our people want is a solution
Of the problem. They do not care to
make any mistake. They regard the
matter far too serious to select a wrong
method in its handling. It is not their
way to permit intolerance and fanatf-
cism to blind them to argument prop
erly advanced by any reputable man.
Utah men want sanity to guide their
counsels, and reason to inspire their &C
tons They are willing to hear the other
side.
We shall expect a very large audience
at the theatre Wednesday night.

TWO YEARS AND FIVE MONTHS
ON THE ROAD.

Two years ago last March a letter was
mailed at Adams street AMI Fifth ave
nue., in Chicago. addressed to a EIan in
North Fairfield avenue of the same
city, about three miles away. The send
CT put on two 2-cent stamps, which was
ample postage. and dropped the letter
in the mail box.
And the letter reached its destination
about a week ago. 1t was two years
and five months on the road. And it
didn't have very far to go. either.
We mention this incident, because it
happened in Chicago.
The Chicago pOstoffice handled about
a billion Of letters IN the two years and
five months occupied by this one in
travelling three and a half miles And
it was by no means the only one that
tarried by the way.
CUriOUsly enough. no one called the
postmaster of Chicago a horsethief be-
cause the letter didn't come
