KILL OFF SOME OF THE DOGS.

The dog catcher at times isa much
detestcd officer. He invades yards
where pet dogs live andnow and then
sets a whole neighborhood against
him by dragging Fido to the dog
wagon. There is no sympathy, but a
great amount of hatred is poured out
upon his head In language unmistak-
able and the imprecatlons of offended
families abide with him. But-the
dog-catcher does some good and might
do more il the sentiment which at.

hunt for the cur that runs out in the
street and barks and snaps at passing
horses, wagons, automobiles. bicycles

There Is too much dog of the worth

OGDEN CAN GROW WITHOUT
THE RAILROADS.

A prominent ogden citizen wants
to know why so much prominence is
given TO railroad Improvements in Og-
den. He says there was time when
the railroad employees made up big
fraction of all wage-earncrs in the
city, but today the railroad pay day
is less important factor In the pros
perity of ogden.
We concedc the point that the rail
road pay rolls do not keep up proper
tionately with the growth of the city.
still the railroads are part of the
Industrial life of this community
which should not be underestimated.
The city can go on growing without
the railroads doing their part In the
development, but If all the improve
ments planned for the yards become
an actuality Ogden Sill go forward
by great strides and its expansion
will be beyond all expectations. That
is why the progress of events in rail-
road circles is closely watched and
carefully noted.

FATHERS AND MOTHERS ARE
APPEALED TO.

The Standard. having called atten-
tlon TO the spread of diseases which
come from immoral practices, has re-
ceived an address issued by A. l..
Walbarst. medical doctor, New York.
in which an appeal is made TO fathers
and mothers to do something to check
the ravages OF the diseases OF venery
which are claiming thosuands of vic
Tins in this country each year.
We arc convinced the time Is near
at hand when the newspapers of the
country must cast aside any feeling
of prudery and speak plainly on this
subject Doctors Will tell YOU there
Is more OF this loathsomeness in the
United States-and ogden Is includ-
ed-than the uniformed arc aware of,
and the plague is spreading so as to
be classcd as a greater menace to the
health of all communities than tub
erculosis.
When a smallpox sign goes up on a
porch, 1uGIe Is uIGdoAit5o ibl bipNieS
around. but the insidious work of these
uncomfortable diseases goes on n-
noticed. unthought of. because to the
homes unknown. and yet the destruc-
tive power of the germ Of smallpox Is
as nothing compared with this con.
cealed scourge.
The writer suggests that lectures be
given in all cities In two divisions
for men and for women separately, and
that the dangers that lurlt In the
pathway of the young, and the possi-
bilities OF even home-invasion. be
brought impressively before all. This
is a suggestion which should be acted
upon without delay.
When Theo. Schroeder formerly a
resident of Salt Lake, was in Ogden
last spring. he said he had made a
study of conditions in the large cities
of the east and the most appalling de-
prayity was disclosed, the worst fea-
ture of which Is the great number OF
diseased-wrecked men and women.
What is the remedy?
Publicity, confluence and prophylac-
tics, and publicity is the most essen.

BIG LEAGUES SCOUT
FOR BASEBALL TALENT
Ownere 7nd Managers Arc Looking
Through the Minors.

New York. A 6. 16.-Modern base
ball has provided field of activity for
the stars Of the old days who have out
lived their usefulness on the diamond
From the fact that the game Is crys-
tallzing into q decidedly commercial
business is this true.
The big leagues realize that future
success depends wholly upon the Sc
lection of young material to fill the
gaps Of tried veterans who yearly fall
by the wayslde. To secure this agents
are employed 10 scour the country for
everything OF promise that is available.
Naturally the seasoned judgment of
veterans who have served long years
of activity in the pastime is most de-
sIrable for the work OF tipping off the
magnates TO the men most likely to I'LL
their needs
This year the big league owners
have given far more attention to the
scouting proposition than ever before
Every major league club has one or
more agents travelling the minor
league territory Some clubs have as
many as half dozen; few have less
than two or three. In the old days
the work OF equIpping q team was left
almost entirely to the manager. He
studied his dope with religious feryor.
and when the drafting season came put
in his claim with the rest OF rival
managers for the players who showed
the best on dope
Dope Gave Them Lemons.
But official averages did not always
substsntiate the reputation Of the
fence breakers of little leagues. The
majors were handed too many lemons
b. the minors In this way. Shrewd
business men like Charley Comiskey
began TO send detectives throughout
the byways of the brush and so sue
cessful was the plan 70 md that other
clubs Immediately fell in line. This
season the scheme has developed to
such an acute stage that 1t has al
most become mania

OGDEN ON THE ORPHEUM
CIRCUIT,

The remodeled-we might say re-
bWilt-Grand Opera House is now the
Orpheum. The outer walls are about
all that IS left Of the old playhouse.
That is the impression one receives
when within the building. The en-
trance is not the old dark passageway,
from the FIRST step at the portal Of the
house the change is in evidence, The
color scheme is beautiful and pleas
ing to the eyes. The soft colors give
back the bright rays from numerous
incandescents In restful flood of
light,
The sounding board, proscenium
arch, boxes, seats. carpets. curtains
all are So attractiyely new that Og-
denites will see in the Orpheum as
much TO wonder over and admire as
perfect stranger.
The people In charge Of the theater
are courteous. They seem to have
learned the art OF caring for the pub
lie. They are alert. gracious and
oblIglng aud every move conveys the
idea that uppermost In mind is the
thought that they are at the service
of the patrons OF the place and are
there TO please.
The duties of an employe of the
Orpheum circuit" is not in pamphlet
form. but 1t would not surprise us to
learn that the duties OF the most oh.
scure laborer about these Orpheum
shows are well defined and at least
orally communicated In series OF in
structlons from those who know the
secrets of success of Mr.. Beck and his
assistants.
Mr.. Garrett. one of the principal
stockholders. informs us that at the
Inatinees the children are cared for by
maids employed by the house, that a
list of the children and heir seats is
held in the box Office where telephone
communication places parents Ia In
stant touch with their little ones at
the play; that in case of sudden Ill.
ness, child is placed In the hands OF
those trained In the care of afflicted
children.
The aim is TO make the public feel

an atmosphere OF cheerfulness. Those
who go TO be amused are met at the
door with smiles, Wry faces are left

NATIONAL GUARD IN CAMP.
(Morning Examiner }

The annual encampment of the
National Guard OF Utah is over. The
militiamen were In camp a week, and
their officers bear testimony that they
acquitted themselves with honor. 1t
is said of them that their attention to
duty was without flaw. their work at
drill and in maneuvering Is reported
TO have been especially good
The officers declare themselves as
we'll satisfied with the showing made
by the militia, The people of Utah
have reason TO be proud of the regi-
ment Ogden was represented In the
encampment by Company B. and that
company came in for especial distinc-
tion. That Is gratifying to the people
of this city
The signal corps. one OF the most i'm
portant branches of the army In these
days of advanced methods of warfare,
took a conspicuous part in the en-
campment For the first time the
wireless telegraph system was used
as 1t is used In case of actual hostili-
ties, Under the direction OF Captain
Leroy Bourne. this branch of the ser
vice did credit to itself and TO its
commander.
Altogether. General Wedgwood Is to
be congratulated upon the high stan
dard of efficiency to which he has
brought his young soldiers. Should
the unlooked-for eXigency arise that
the country needs armed forces TO re-
slst invasion, Utah VIII be in posi-
tion to furnish regiment of men as
well drilled as any state In the Union.

RELATIVES FIGHT AGAINST

New York. Aug. 16.-An extra de-
tail of police are on guard at the bed
side of Miss Florence Goebe in VII
liamsburg hospital to make sure that
she is not captured and returned TO
her home II required much fighting
by the police reserves to get her to
the hospital. For some unexplained
reason, the young woman swallowed
a quantity OF carbolic acid, and when
an ambulance surgeon said that she
would probably die, her relatives said
she should die at home, while the doc
tors insisted that she should be sent
TO the hospital
Relatives and neighborS overawed
the two policemen accompanying the
doctor, and they called the reserves
to assist them. The young woman's 8
friends fought Vigorously to keep her
IN the house. and during the battle
the street filled with more than 1000
of the curious. After many blows had
been struck. the police carried the
suffering young woman out of the
house, and then they had to fight
their way through the crowd to get
her into the ambulance and to the

CLIFFORD PINCHOTS DEFENSE
OF HIS POLICY.

The Pinchot- -Ballinger feud Is un.
fortunate because IT IS engenderlng
much bitterness. but we are convinc-
ed OF the correctness of Mr.. Pinchot's
attitude, The animating principle to
the forest service, as administered by
Clifford Plnchot Is found in Mr.. Pin
chots speech at the Irrigation con-
eress at Spokane, which is as follows
1T goes without saying that the law
is supreme and must be obeyed Our
civilization rests on obedience TO law

for the benefit OF the men who can
hire the best lawyers and who have

necessarily favors the great interests
as against the people, and In the long
run can not do otherwise. Wise execu-
tion of the law must consider what
the law ought TO accomplish for the
general good The great oppressive
trusts exist because Of subservient
law makers and adroit legal construc-
tions. Here is the central stronghold
OF the money power in the everlasting
conflict of the few to grab, and the
many to keen or win the rights thev
wore born with. Legal technicalitles

not the law, should have the benefit
