Before adjourning congress passed
a so-called "anti-jug" law. 1t pre-
vents any railroad or express COM
pany from acting as the agent Of
buyer or seller, and requires that
every package of booze shipped must
be plainly marked on the outside
cover. You can order your liquor
from outside the state, but, as a
contemporary says, cit cannot be
shipped as bananas, elephants or
monkeys" The penalty is $4,000.

RAILROAD MAKES GOOD
ON DAMAGE BY FIRE

BY payment of S112.73l Al to five
or six British and American insur-
ance companies, the Rock Island
railroad has effected a compromise Of
four big damage suits arising from
the destruction by fire Of ll,000
bales of cotton on the grounds of
ihe Traders Compress company at
Chickasha. April II. 1907 The fire
Rns caused by a spark from switch
engine
The Federal circuit courts dis
missed the suits here on motion of
plaintiffs, after written stipulations
of the compromise had been filed
and the biggest damage suit of the
Southwest had endeG.
Several ether suits have been
pending in the state courts, but these
are supposed TO have been compro.
missed also The Rock Island is said
to have paid out fully 100000 in
settling the cases. The cotton de-
strcyed was worth approximately
s55a 900. and damage suits to that
amount were filed after the fire.
The insurance companies got into
the fight by paying the owners of
the cotton for the loss sustained,
and then took over all claims for
damage against the railroad.

UP TO THE ENGLISH PEOPLE.

After all, there is color of right in the
position of the English lords. They
recognize this new taxation policy as
a departure from established methods.
Of course the innovation is at the ex-
pense of the members Of the upper
house. It strikes at the land-owning
gentry. 1t strikes at hereditary privi-
lege. Because of these. facts, the lords
declare they viii not accept the re-
sponsibility Of making the change. They
have defeated the budget. and viii go
to the country" If the people of Eng
land shall indorse the action Of the COM
mons, then every Opposer Of the plan
has still the creditable recourse Of as
senting. He has taken the one way
against which Englishmen cannot OBJ
iect. He has recognized the right Of
the people themselves to settle the mat
ter.
And whatever the people shall say
in the elections that will soon be held
must become the law of the land If
the popular voice indorses the action Of
the commons, then the budget will
stand. The lords will have to bear a
greater share in the burdens of the ma
ton than they have borne in the past.
They viii be given less privilege. They
will lose a certain prestige they have
for centuries enjoyed.
But no one can say they have as yet
exceeded the right Of Englishmen.
1t seems exceedingly likely the COM
mons win be sustained in the elections
If that shall transpire, a better quality
Of service will exist in Great Britain.
And the upper chamber so dear, after
all, to the heart of the Englishman, will
in accepting the result-be more firm
ly founded in the national system than
at any time of all the past.

A REAuTlEuL INTERIOR.

When one speaks in warm praise Of
the interior Of the new oregon Short
Line passenger station here in salt
Lake, it must not be understood that
any criticism of the exterior is enter
tanned even as a mental reservation.
The exterior Of the place will be all that
could be desired when the whole place
is completed. Some people who don't
know what the plans contemplate have
been dissatisfied with the building from
the beginning. They win be better sat
isfed as time goes on.
But we did want to speak Of the in
terror. 1t is not yet completed, so far
as the decorative features are con-
cerned. But even now it is a place Of
which salt Lake people may well be
proud.
The great paintings at either end of
the building are noble in conception, and
admirable in execution. There is the
strength of truth in both of these pic
lures. Many Of our people have not
seen them. 1t is a treat everyone may
enjoy-freely.
Probably nothing finer than that
Discovery of the Valley" at the south
end of the big passenger room, has ever
been placed on exhibition in the west.
It lifts the commonplace railroad sta.
ton into the neighborh0od Of art. And
it infuses a sort of solemn joy into the
sentiment Of the beholder.
That at the north end is purely prac-
teal The driving of the last spike in
the transcontinental railroad was more
important than NapOleon's crossing the
Alps; or than Marlborough's achieve
ment at Blenheim. 1t was a greater
conquest; and it involved no slaughter
OF men. no destruction Of property. no

Fun Or PHILOSOPHY

This man Murphy, who manages the
play they call ''The Top Of the World, %
sends out a few cards by way of telling
people he is coming. And he has the
wisdom 10 put on something besides the
announcement Of his proposed visit. For
example, he prints the following:
Did it ever occur to you that a mans
life is fun of crosses and temptations
He comes into the world without his
consent and goes out against his win,
and the trip is exceedingly rocky.
The raie Of the contraries is one OF
the features of this trip. When he is
little the big girls kiss him. When he
is big the little girls kiss him.
If he is poor he is a bad manager. II
he is rich he is dishonest. If he needs
credit he can't get it. If he is pros
porous everybody wants to do him a
favor.
If he is in politics il is for graft If
he is out of politics he is no good to
the country, If he does not give to
charity he is a stingy cuss; if he does it
is for show.
If he is actively religious he is a hypO-
critic. If he takes no interest in religion
he is a hardened sinner.
If he gives affection he is a soft speci-
men. If he cares for no one he is cold
blOOded. If he dies young there was a
great future for him. If he lives to an
old age he missed his calling.
To which he adds the statement that
this world is just one thing after an
other and there is no rest for the weary
unless you see his show.
The effort seems in the direction of
either fun or philosophy. We are not
entirely sure which. But it matters lit
tie whether one is to be entertained or
instructed. The fact remains that the
manager Of a show has called the reader
out Of WEAKNESS and preoccupation, and
kindled a smile on the ashes Of frowns.
and fixed the name of his show on the
memory. All that is good advertising.
because it gets the result the advertiser
desired-and better than that, it gets a
favorable notion about it. One is more
likely to see the show, because Of the
philosophical fun of the advance notice.
One is more likely to be entertained by
the play-and Dy tnaJ same token, more
likely TO get his moneys worth out Of
the entertainers.
Long age there was a song which
Philip Phillips used in his evangelistic
meetings. One verse urged the reader,
if he could not make a great speech, to
make a simple, entertaining, restful,
helpful song. And then it adds:
Though they may forget the singer,
They viii not forget the song.
Which IS what the manager Of the
show wants. He may placard his name
on a four-sheet poster. But what he
wants is that the show shall succeed.
Therefore, the emanatiOn of the man.
ager must be philosophy.

tribute to any bloody-handed conqueror.
It is not quite so closely confined to
local topics as that opposite. for the in
terest attaching to the railroad extends
to the uttermost parts of the nation. and
involves characters and fortunes and re-
suits in every corner Of the world. But
it was a Utah affair. and belongs In the
stately company where it has been
placed by the railroad people.
In addition, those art transoms along
the western upper wan deserve the
praise they are daily receiving. They
simply are triumphs Of the craft which
employs stained glass as its medium of
expression.
Salt Lake is being vel served in the
erection and completion of this depot.
It helps TO enrich the town. 1t is in
keeping with the buildings OF private
construction. It viii be in their class
when the finer structures are completed.
And it is a pleasure to express appre-
citation Of it.
