WHERE LIVING is HIGH.

If you complain of the price Of food
here in Salt Lake, how would you like
to live in Sweden?
They are paying thirteen and four
tenth cents for a two-pound loaf of
bread In Stockholm. We of Salt Lake
are paying five cents for a one-pound
loaf Of bread.
One time a man on the street car
was complaining of the high price Of
living here in Salt Lake, and Tom Hob
day retorted that it was worth more to
live in Salt Lake than elsewhere. But
we don't believe any resident Of Stock
holm, however loyal to his home city.
could make the same point.
IN Belgium the two-pound loaf costs
six and fourteenth cents; in England
eight cents; in Germany nine and three
tenth cents; IN Russia eight and eight
tenths cents, and in France seven and
three tenth cents. So that, excepting
the latter country, we Of Utah don't
suffer much IN comparison,

BRING IN ALL THE PROOFS.

But the Ballinger inquiry is a differ
ent matter. Let Congress go to the
bottom Of that affair. Let everyone who
has evidence against the secretary of
the interior bring the proof. Let there
be no possibility Of any man saying,
afterward, that he knew compromising
incidents that would have convicted Mr..
BaIIinger Of improper conduct in con-
nection with forests. or coal, OF land
in the states or in Alaska, or anywhere
else on the face Of the earth.
Bring IN all the proofs, and let the
people examine them. Let the most
rigid inquiry be made as to every step
in the progress Of the secretary from
the time he took public Office down to
the present,
Frankly, we do not believe there is
any wrong in the conduct Of Mr.. Balm
ger. We have read carefully every one
Of the Collier articles, all the CLAWS let
tiers. all the matter so far printe6 in the
controversy. And we find nothing more
than suspicion, jealousy, the desire for
observation-disclosures possibly a wish to
discre6it other men now or formerly
connected with the administration of
public affairs in this country.
But let the proofs be brought forward.
The accusers shall have their day. If
they prove their case, the secretary will
be condemned. If not-of course moth
ing will happen. If not, then the people
who have been making the charges will
go right on making them, and others
like them.
There is no convincing the muck

KEEP ON WISHING.

Don't stop just because Christmas
has come and gone. Keep on wishing.
There really wasn't any reason for
your peace on earth and good viii to
man" at that time, which doesn't stlll
exist. If you could in the Christmas
feel kindly to your neighbor, and
even more moderate IN your antipathy
toward people you don't Ike why can't
YOU feel so now? Why can't you just
forget the petty little things which Of
fend you? Why can't you see there was
real profit in the better temper, the bet
ter attitude toward all your neighbors
and keep 1t up, now that the day OF
conventional demand has passed
Christmas morning a busy and sue
cessful professional man sat down at
his telephone, and called up twenty
men OF his acquaintance, and wished
them Merry Christmas" He didn't
speak much more than a kindly in
0uiry as to health, and the going OF
the day. He only remembered if there
had been illness, or a bereavement in
the family of the man he called, and
alluded sympatheticaIly to that, with
the wish that all future days might be
brighter.
It didn't cost him a cent, but it
brought 10 the men he called Just what
the most expensive present would have
brought-the conviction that he thought
of the recipient. And that is the soul Of
an presents. Christmas or other 1t
NAV have seemed a little thing, but it
was a very gracious thing, and win not
at all be forgotten by either Of the men
who were called.
But it is noted by him 70 whom the
telephone Christmas greeting came that
the man who sent the message always
does wish happiness to his associates, to
his friends, and to the world. It is his
fixed and established habit. While he
is very earnest and very successful, he
impresses you constantly with the no
ton that he has good will to all men,
and that he wants peace on earth, and
IS doing his share in getting and keep
ing 1t.
There is a habit to cultivate. 1t is
good thing for a New Year resolution.
Just make the good wishes a standing
order. Cultivate good viii TO man, and
YOU will do your share in the honorable
and glorious work Of bringing peace on
earth. And that, you know, was the
best thing the angels could wish man
kind even in the happiest hour that
heaven has ever known.

FUNNY CHRISTIAN PAPER.

Here is an editorial paragraph clipped
from the California Christian Advocate:
The Syrians in this country refuse to
be classed with the Chinese. They have
appealed from the decision of the immi-
grafton bureau to Washington. The
Chinese viii no doubt be relieved when
they find that they do not have to herd
with the Syrians. We would as soon be
caught with a Chinaman as any of the
SyTians we have seen in this part Of the
country. If the Syrians want to be as
ISOLATED with the ''fOinest crowd" we
suggest the Irish. That is our prefer
ence.
It is Of a kind with much other mat
ter seen in that paper from time to
time We don't just understand it-in
that sort Of paper. OF course it is
funny-excruciatingly so. And, Of
course, it is perfectly Illuminating as to
the relative value Of men made in one
image" That is, it must be illuminat-
ing, and funny. and perfectly under
stood by the editor who wrote IT.
But what idea is it intended to con-
vey to the rest Of the world?

EvERYeopY HELPs IN Dixie.

Down in Dixie the people are getting
ready for the erection Of a new college
building at st. George. They are going
to have an academy. And all over the
region the people are contributing
money, material and labor.
At Santa Clara on December twen-
tieth the citizens assembled and hauled
rock and fuel, and began the building
Of a lime kiln, the product Of which Is
to be used in the walls Of the new
academy,
Failure cannot possibly follow united
effort of that sort--anywhere. And the
Dixie people seem to be addicted to the
self-help habit.

THE POSTAL SERVICE DEFICIT.


OF course the people of the United
States don't expect their postal service
to make money. They regard It as one
Of the cOnveniences Of life. one of the
necessities, and they are willing to pay
for it.
But they don't want to pay needlessly.
When letter postage was three cents,
the postal department actually earned
little profit; and the reduction was
made because the nation didn't expect
the mail service to be self-supporting.
They wanted it improved and extended,
and were willing to pay the difference
between what the service cost and what
II could be made to earn.
But the postal laws were changed.
and the rulings Of the department were
altered. and the deficit has become
alarming. 1t has gone beyond twenty
eight millions Gin the red" And that
is more than the people of the United
States can approve.
Without doubt the vast increase In
cheap magazines has caused the deficit
It is not newspaper carriage. Both are
in the second class, but newspapers pay
almost all it costs to carry them. Mag
azines don't come near doing so.
And publishers Of newspapers don't
care a great deal what is done to better
the situation. They can stand an in
crease Of postage for second-class mat
ter. The magazines cannot, without in
creasing their sales price. And an in
crease in the sales price would mean
the instant retirement of about half the
cheap publications which have taken
the palm for yellow journalism from all
the saffron-hued dailies in the United
States. and exploded it in one pumpkin
colored aurora borealis with each re-
curing month.

SALT LAKES CONFIDENCE IN
HERSELF.

This is a city of about one hundred
thousand population. And the city en-
gineer reports that the city has invested
more than six and a quarter million dol
lars in public improvements.
There is a pretty good thing to tell to
your friends in the east.
Any city which has that much conf
dence in itself gives a pretty good
guaranty to the possible investor.

of finding the best place for money re-
turns, for stability Of values and like
Hhood Of advancement, the eastern man

mas a right to ask what the men of a
city themselves think of their city. To
US it seems that the men Of Salt Lake
answer that question most eonvincingly.
They have spent more than six million
dollars on street paving, on sidewalks,
and on sewers. That shows what they
think Of Salt Lake.
And no city with such an investment
in these three items can fail to invite
the investments Of substantial men
everywhere. Salt Lake is bound to be
the biggest city Of the whole mountain
country.

A BIT o NOTHIN'


Walter Muraski, we'll known
to every person in this neck OF
the woods as foreman of the c.
& N. w. section at Conover,
while in Eagle River Friday
waiting at the depot for the
north bound freight to carry him
home, unfolded a story of a
mammoth bull dog owned by
Jas. Oberholtzer. Says Walter:
Coming down this morning l
saw the dog on Oberholtzer' S
porch, and say, he was a whop-
per. Must have been all of two
feet across the back and had a
mug on him that would scare
the daylights out of me if I met
him after dark" Later on when
the train pulled out Muraski
and the writer were aboard.
When passing Oberholtzer's place
w after again saw the OOS
through the caboose window
and called attention to him, also
remarking that the dog must be
a good one to stay at home for
he (the dog was in practically
the same position as in the morn
ming when he first saw him. For
Muraski's edifcation we can tell
him that the dog never changes
his position, being a dead one
and is made of papier mache, or
TN other words is paper dummy
dog and thathis back isn't quite
two feet broad.
