son IN the administration who is able

IS the city auditor and he has been since
jan trying to put forth some sort OF
report on the city's standing at the close

Mr.. Snyder's report for April gives a
total balance in the revenue funds at the
close of April as Sf6O, .OS, and in the

WHOSE WIFE is SHE?
Two Claimants of the Hand of Mrs
Prestin.


Herbert PresJin may lose his wife as
result Of his imprisonment in Salt Lake
and Weber counties on suspicion of be-
Ing connected with the murder Of Deputy
Sheriff Seymour l. Clark When he was
liberated from the Weber county jail on
Wednesday he found another claimant
for the hand Of his wife IN the person
of John JOsephs of Ogden, who claims to
have married the woman in this city sew
eral years ago.
Originally the woman in the case was
a Miss ShurtIiff of Ogden. Her first hus-
band was o. P. BelnaD of ogden. From
him she was divorced. She was then mar
ried to John Josephs, so JOsephs claims,
although there is doubt on this point. She,
it is said. claims this was a mock mar
riaEe. However that may be they were
considered man and wife here for some
yea rs and were never divorced Last July
the woman was married in this city to
Herbert PTestin-
On the face Of the returns it would seem
that the woman has three husbands living
in Ogden. From the first she was di-
vcrced so that he may be eliminated from
the problem. It looks like a contest be
tween the other two for the hand Of the
woman. Prestin had no sooner reached
the fresh air outside his cell Wednesday
when he was handed a package Of papers
to prove that the woman he supposed 10

great men, which is literally speaking
volumes. The only redeeming thing
about Weems is that he wrote Of
Washington, and it was for this that
Lincoln appreciated him. l do not
know whether Washington could tell
a lie or not, but l do know that both
Weems and Sparks could and did.
biographers have been on speaking
terms with verify and did not seek to
elevate their hero into a demigod by
placing him on a tall pedestal Of eu-
logistic lies. George Washington was
very much Of man, and it will pay
the world to forget Weems and
Sparks and get acquainted with the
first president as he was.
Such an omnivorous reader was Lin
coin that he actually walked miles
to borrow a grammar in order that
he might read that He doubtless
would have read the Congressional
Record if he could have got it.
The only people who read the Con-
gressional Record nowadays are the
members whose speeches are printed
there. They never get a chance to
deliver the great bulk Of these
speeches in congress, so the Record is
the only outlet for their pent-up elo-
quence. The government printing
Office thus becomes the legislative
safety valve. Still, that is hardly a
truthful figure of speech, as there is
no steam behind this oratory. AS for
gas, it never explodes without fire
and there is not a scintilla of fire If
these speeches. It is fortunate for
Lincoln and the world that the Record

was withheld from him. Think about
trusting, furnishing, eager eyed boy
being turned loose to wander in that
desert!
There is one other advantage in the
Lincoln style of education. 1t at least
left his Individuality unimpaired. He
was not put into a hopper and ground
into the semblance Of every other
young man that went through the
same mill. He remained as God made
him, not as some board of trustees
and professors tried to make him over
He was not subjected to the deaden-
ing process Of educational uniformity.
If there is anything that has made
this Anglo-Saxon civilization worth
while it has been the work Of those
who dared to protest and revolt, the
Independent, the reyolutionist and the
nonconformist. We have stood up for
our individuality, the dearest gift of
God to man. Variety makes life bear
able. The whole movement of art, of
civilization, Of progress, is away from
the stupidity regular, spiritlessly uni
form, deadeningly monotonous, that
would make all men on the same intel
iectual pattern. That all who go
through the average university hopper
do not have the divine spark quenched
is due to the fact that their God-made
individuality is stronger than the man
made mOlds in which they are placed
If one may order a suit Of clothes tc
fit his individual shape, why may he
| not order an education also fitted tt
his needs? Why is an embryo poe1

indeed had little formal schooling of
any sort. And those Who taught him
were better fitted for mauling rails
and boys-than they were for teaching.
According to his own word, there was
less than year all told of even this
Indifferent instruction. AS matter Of
fact, however, Abraham Lincoln went
10 school all his life, and he had bet
ter teacher than any of these himself.
He was as hungry for knowledge as
the average growing boy is for food.
He literally devoured books, any kind
of books, including the Bible and the
dictionary Books were as scarce then
as new novels worth reading are now.
AS result this lad with the starving
mind read and reread many times ev-
cry book he could procure: AS Shake
speare, Aesop, the ARABIAN Nights
and the prophets were among his au-
thors, it can be seen how much better
off he was than those who are flooded
by latter day fustian.
Indeed, the neagerness Of the future
presidents schooling was by no means
an unmixed evil. What he did get he
| digested. Like Franklin, he tried to
reproduce it, thus gaining style of
his own. Such mental appetite had
he that he even devoured the statutes
: of Indiana with as much eagerness
as the schoolgirl of today reads Laura
Jean Libbey. At least l presume that
schoolgirls read her. Somebody must
or she would not write.
1t is said that Lincoln also read that
impossible book, "Weems' Life of
Washington" which has spread more
misinformation about the Father OF
His Country than is told about most
