so far that the psalms were mumbed instead of
being sung; while the noble invitation, "Oh come
let us sing unto the Lord new song" an
swered by "Pll be pill I'll be pill I'll be a
pilgrim in the sky" But it was when the soprano
entered upon her piece-de-resistance," "Oh, for
man oh, for man oh, for mansion in the
sky" that people began to notice the absurdity of
the whole thing and pleaded for an excision of the
hymn book.
What to do with the soprano is very serious
problem. She is constructed on super-sensitive
lines and brittle as glass. She must be dealt with
very carefully and given her own way she'll
leap the fence and disappear. If the churches would
form a union and boycott her she might come down
from her high perch and promise Ito be good We
almost regret that little Johnny's eyes deceived
him when, looking at the conductor of the choir
while the superb soprano in the middle of her
solo. he said to his mother: Mamma, why does
that hit the woman with his stick" "He is
not hitting her. whispered Johnny's mother
keep still" well, then. what is she holerin
for z"
The theory of a choir ought to be leadership
and direction in the giving of praise to God and
not the exploiting of performance for the en-
tertainment of the congregation The leadership
cannot be too good: the better the choir the more
useful its work As to solos, they can serve a good
purpose if they are separated from operate thrills
and vocal flunlmery and the words distinctly pro-
nouDced

WHAT is A TOY PISTOL?

The question, What is toy pistol! is naturally
suggested by the fact that paper cap pistols are be-
ing sold pretty generally over the city by retail
pistols the state law against the sale of toy pistols
is being violated If paper cap pistols not toy
pistols, it is hard to say just what the intent of
the law on the subject is.
Section 1921 of the Compiled Laws of Utah,
1905 is in reference to selling giving away toy
pistols. 1t reads
ANY one selling or giving away toy pistol to
any person in this state shall be guilty of mis-
demeanor."
The punishment for msdemeanor is set forth
in section 1905, where it is provided that mis-
demeanor is punishable by imprisonment in
county Jail not exceeding six months, by fine
in any sum less than $500, or by both"
ct is the general opinion among those familiar
with the enactmets of the legislature of Utah that
it was the intention of the law regarding selling
or giving away toy pistols to put the paper cap
pistol out of existence in the state. At least this
was the effect of the law for number of years.
but the pestiferous little agent of tetanus has
come back and is already in quite general use
among the small boys in their premature celebra-
ton of the Glorious Fourth.
We don't know that any innocent person selling
or giving away paper cap pistols should be given
the benefit of the limit fine and Imprisonment
provided but all those dealing in the prohibited
article should be warned to cease handling them
and failing to take heed of the warning should be
given the punishment merited

KENNESAW MOUNTAIN.

A bill was recently introduced in the legislature
of the state of Illinois calling for the appropriation
of twenty thousand dollars for the erection of
monument at the battle-ground of Kennesaw noun
tain in commemoration of the charge of the Third
brigade, Second division, of the Fourteenth army
corps of the Army of the Cumberland The battle
of hennesaw mountain was one of the great bat
ties of the civil war; and the ground thereabout
has been sanctified by the blood of the brave
Thousands of graves there are of soldiers of the
blue and soldiers of the gray, and nobody can tell
one from another. The monument proposed would
be fitting tribute to one of the notable incidents
in the great battle.
What makes this proposition worthy of special
notice is that the bill was introduced in the Hi
nois legislature by exConfederate soldier and
that the bill was passed unanimously by the sen
ate at his solicitation. Surely nothing could more
fittingly express "the union of hearts and the
union of hands, which prevails in the one-time
antagonistic sections of the country than the adop-
ton of bill by an Illinois legislature at the in
stance of former Confederate to commemorate the
heroic deeds of the great Americans who fought
and died that the nation might live

FREE LABOR EXCHANGES.

The British government has formulated a plan
to bring work and workers together and to do
away with the enormous waste of effort among
employers and employees, the first in trying to get
men and the second in trying to find job The
plan follows closely the plan put in operation in
Germany, which, reports say, has been found to
work well. 1t does what it is intended to do-that
is, bring about knowledge of labor conditions in
the different portions of the empire. The coun-
try is divided into ten areas. each with clearing
house. and central clearing house in London.
There will be about ten labor exchanges in each
division, with facilities for sending workers from
one section where it is congested to another where
there is a demand for men, In Germany it has
been demonstrated that the saving in time lost
than pays the expenses of keeping the ex-
changes including the railroad fare necessary
to send the from one point to another The
exchanges are under joint committee represent
ing the employers and employees, which arrange
ment has entirely removed the suspicion that tbe
labor exchanges were to be operated as a sort of
assembling place for strikebreakers
Everybody who wants Job is entitled to annlv
to the exchanges; it costs nothing to make appli
cation for work, and nothing when the lob is So
cured And the job is not made secure bv weekly
contributions to the labor agency The adoption If
the German scheme in England came about ha
cause the Sc eme worked SO well in GERMANY. and
there seems TO re no reason why it will not work
as well IN the British empire. Perhaps even in free
