PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
AND "C0LLIER'S WEEKLY r."

In the ISSUE of Golfers" for January 30th,
there viii be found on the editorial page the fol-
lowing criticism OF an executive order changing
the name of a certain mountain range in eastern
Utah;
Nothing attracts the president more than the
history of the United States and the preservation
of Or forests. It seems like the irony of fate
therefore that in matter affecting both of these
great interests he should have been led into mis-
take which will need to be undone either by him
or by his successors, The great explorer, Robert
Caveer de la Sale, was honored by Mr.. Roosevelt
in the year 1908 by an executive order naming af
ter the famous Frenchman a salt mountain III the
deserts Of eastern Utah. Because of his saliency
in helping on the story of western growth, La Sale
is to have a permanent position the tall top of
the salt mountain. The error was natural in It's
origin. This mountain has not remained for all
these years anonymous. On the 18th day of Au-
gust, 1776 it alrady had name, and this
was La Sal (the meaning of the Spanish term is
'salt0 which was given TO the mountain by Father
Silvestre Velez de Escalante, the first white man
to cross the great Colorado river of the west. He
was striving TO aid Spain to extend her foothold
in North America from the beginnings made by
De Soto in Mexico. Escalante's memory is chiefly
lost but traces of his work remain in line too def
mite to allow La Sal permanently to become
La Sale There is an Escaante river and an Es-
calante valley, and this salt mountain must ever
remain in history associated with the Spaniard's
efforts to extend his country's power"
While the too great desire of the President to
change at times the face Of nature as well as the
nomenclature applied thereto. undoubtedly leads
him into many erroneous deductions, and is there
fore subject to some criticism, it is not apparent
in the present instance that he would have been
guided any nearer Alright had he applied to the
critic Of Golfers whose knowledge of the sub
iect is certainly not so great to give unwonted
value to his criticism.
The mountains in question had the name La
Sal" or Salt mountains. prior to Ftaher Esca-

WE EAT TOO MUCH.

One of the msought blessings which came with
the financial panic eighteen months ago is the
discovery that We have all along been eating toe
much entirely too much. This may be startling
not to say dismaying information to the fellow
who has struggled with the high cost of living dur
irg all these eighteen months. and finds himself
lying abed Sunday morning in order to escape
buying a breakfast But seriously, the doctors
nearly all tell too much but they all have
prescription handy of a medicine guaranteed to
give a appetite.
One of the discoveries of the panic that
sCme 400 fewer persons died in Chicago last year
from pneumonia than the year before and this
good record is said to be due the fact that there
was less food per inhabitant consumed in Chicago
last year than the year before. Right or wrong,
the statistics gathered the subject to show
an intimate relation between pneumonia and easy
times We of America have prided ourselves on
our strenuosity, especially during the past decade.
And all Of us are prone to measure physical
and mental capacity by the amount of food we eat,
We Judge we are pretty well if we can stow away
three squares per diem, and feel all right for the

THE BUSY DUKE.

recent article serves to throw new and dir
ferent light upon Prince Luigi Amedo of Savoy,
better known in America as the fortune-hunting
Duke of the Abruzzi, whose contemplated marriage
to an American heress a few months ago the
cause of many jokes from the never-serious Amer
lean jokesmith. And the duke had good many
uncomplimentary things said about him before the
proposed marriage was finally declared off
But it appears that the duke is a worker; that
he is really of some account in the busy world.
Strange as it may seem, the duke has, according
to the article before us, rendered some very i'm
portant services to mankind. He has followed the
occupation of mountain climbing for ten years,
both in Europe and Africa not the mere climbing
of mountains for fun, but with scientific purposes.
He is said to have explored, mapped and prepared
descriptions Of the mountains in which the Nile
river has its sourse work never before attempted,
and work of more than ordinary value and inter
est to the people of the world. And he did this
work without any extra remuneration. Surely the
popular conception in America of the members of
the royal families of Europe is all wrong, or else
here is duke gone wrong.

same performance on the following day. And
there are hundreds of patent medicines guaranteed
under the food and drugs act which are sure to
give The taker of one dose an appetite that will
prove that he is perfectly well.
However, if steady eating of large quantities
of food is to bring pneumonia upon US, it would
seem to be better to fall back on the teachings OF
the early theologians who held as the Catholic
church holds today that gluttony is one of the
seven deadly sins, than to consider big appetite
the sign of perfect health In the light OF the
statistics from Chicago, it would seem new field
is open for medicine that will destroy appetite,
that the American people should learn small
lesson in elf-control.

CIVIC RIGHTEOUSNESS.

Not many years ago, when corporation
wanted anything from city council. whether it
a thing to which it was justly entitled or not,
the first thing it did was to get candidate nom-
mated who could be or was already bought up.
When the corporation got as many members of the
council it needed, it brought forward its propo-
sition and had it passed But in recent times these
details have been exposed very numerously in sew
oral cities of the land. New York Philadelphia
San Francisco and Pittsburg have each had their
scandal. say nothing of the revelations made
during the last presidential campaign of the opera
tions Of the corporations in Washington.
Strangely enough, the very fellows who have
been the most unregenerate in their dealings with
public bodies and all coming over to the
side OF the public in demanding publicity of ac
counts and actions. They have found that it
doesn't pay to deal unfairly with the people, and
have decided to take the people into their conf
dcnce III is the most striking development of
the past airs, and promises, good not only for
the publ "a +or the corporations as well.

Women and Occupations

There has been considerable amount
of discussion of late in the press and in
the magazines in regard to the number
of women who are entering the trades
and professions. Prof. Thomas, who is
connected with the University in
Chicago, has been writing very re-
markable, though provoking series of
articles for the American Magazine and
in the September issue of this periodical
he devotes himself to consideration of
this subject. Part is as follows:
ut is idle, indeed, to speak of the
exclusion of women from the occupa-
tions. They are entering them from
the top and from the bottom of the
ladder. The illy-conditioned are being
forced into them and the well-condi-
toned, those whom men have been
educating while deploring the use of
their education. are already entering
them at the top in considerable num-
bers. And they are finding new and
characteristic ways Of giving to society
that reserve of affection and nurture

for the child and the home. In the
year 1909 there was more than 5000, 600
women painfully employed in the
United States las against 23,753, 1876
men). The rate of increase between
1890 and 1900 of the number of women
so employed was much greater than
the corresponding increase for the
employment of men (for women 1913
per cent; for men 21.9 per cent and
the number of women gainfully EN-
ployed increased more rapidly in the
decade than the female population.
So, whether we wish it or not, the old
order is already changing rapidly. It
means simply that the old idea that all
women should live on the activities of
men and should limit their own inter
ests to the bearing and rearing of
children has gone to pieces"

A freight train of about eighty cars
passed through town this forenoon.
This train was manned by less than the
number of trainmen prescribed by the
law passed by the last legislature. The
operation of such trains without full
crew of six trainmen is in violation of
that law. Other states, we are in
formed, have such a law and the rail:
road companies obey it. Why should
not the railroad companies of Nevada
obey the laws of the state2 The ques-
ton is passed up to those who have the
authority to compel obedience.
Some of the farmers in this locality
have been trying the sideG oats, the
name being derived from the fact that
the head all grows on one side, The
straw,is almost las stiff as bamboo and
while the yield is usually heavy, the
oats never falls down. Some of the
farmers at the Island Ranch are saving
seed for next year. The side oats were
tried near Saltwater few years ago
with very satisfactory results. In
Colorado this variety will produce two
crops, the second sprouting and coming
on volunteer from the stubble. In this
country, however, the second crop is
cut for hay.-Fallon Eagle.

Serious Dilemma.

A student in one of the theological
colleges found himself face to face
with an examination in Old Testament
hlstory-a subject which he had en-
tirely ignored all term. Taking coun-
sci with some friends, he decided that
all he really needed to know was the
long list of the names of the kings
OF Israel and their dates. So he
crammed them each and all into his
bursting head. But, sad to relate, all
he was asked to do was to criticise
the acts of Moses. Not one act Of
Moses, good, bad, or Indifferent, could
the unfortunate youth remember, SO,
after much thought, he wrote as fol-
lows:
Far be it for one as humble as I
am to criticise the acts of the great
Moses; but, II you would care to know
the names of the kings of Israel and
their dates, you will find them writ.
