preciable disturbance of the level of

The gyroscope seems to be perfect

nary excess OF load upon one side of
the a r AS many as three dozen
people stood grouped at n side of
the center line of the car, but the
floor was maintained level. Mr..
Brennan stated that he has placed a
load of two tons on the edge of the
car and subsequently removed it,
without affecting the stability beyond
recovery.
While the speed of the al as
spoken OF above is very moderate, ii
is stated that much higher speeds can
easily be obtained. The a can
negotiate grades of 1 in 10, and with
an addition to the motive power
amounting to about four tons weight
it is asserted that grades of / in 6 h
can be taken.
Mr.. Brennan has been carrying on
his work with the financial assistance
of the British war office, the Indian
government and the government OF
kashmir. 1t is reported that he has
received altogether about $4,000
from these sources.
The advantages claimed for the
gyroscope mono-rail principle seem
to be largely supposed economies in
track construction, increased facility
in laying tracks in rough country and
in constructing bridges, and some
advantages in ease of running due to
the elimination of a portion of the
faults of alignment of track.
1t is stated, also that higher speeds
can be attained by these cars than by
the ordinary type, and that the cars
may be constructed and operated OF
much greater width, making them
commodious.

Two Catholic women, sisters in one

And they say they believe there are

city in the United States more beautiful
than is Salt Lake. They place Wash

of the list. They are inclined to think
Detroit is in some respects more i'm
pressive than is this city. But they find
it at least with no others to take the
place Of precedence.

doubt, one of the most beautiful if not

SAVED. BY THE COURT.
(COsmOpOlitanD

A supreme court judge tells this story
about a famous character around the
minor courts. Tail, gaunt and gawky,
he had a fund of ready Irish wit and a
dignity of presence and carriage which,
combined with a booming bass voice.
was humorous in itself. All the judges
knew him and were lenient with his in
fractions of court rules.
The character, who was a lawyer of
the shyster class, was defending a case
in court one day before a justice who
was particularly fond of him. He went
to luncheon with his client. When court
resumed after luncheon it was evident
that he had enjoyed his midday meal.
Realizing the situation, the justice
leaned and said:
This case is postponed until tomOr-
row. The counsel for the defense is in
no condition to proceed with it."
The lawyer rose to his feet INSTEAD
lily and gazed earnestly at the court.
Then his deep voice doomed out:
Your honor, have known you, man,
boy and child, for thirty years-on the
binch and off the binch-and it is the
first time in all these years / have
known you to make a rulin' in accord
ance with the Jacks"

ONLY ONE oE lis KIND.

In all the world there probably is only
one political party which seeks to make
capital by advertising that its state is
twenty-five years behind its sister
states. And that is the so-called Amer
lean party of Salt Lake
Not only do they openly say that, but
they pay money to have it scattered in
an advertisement. They place that paid
statement before the public: Utah is
twenty-five years behind her sister
states"
People used to say of Sockless Simp-
son that he was the only one of his kind
and that one was enough. That is the
exact truth about the party managers
who would commit all their following to
a declaration against the good name of
the state they live in.
But it is not true. Like far too many
other things put forward by the man
ayers Of the American party, the claim
is not founded in fact Utah is not
twenty-five years, nor one year, behind
its sister states-in any respect. In
many particulars this is the best state
in the Union. And it is being pushed
forward by the men who love It too

TOOK OATH ON CITY DIRECTORY

The prisoner had just recovered from
the effects of long debauch when he
entered the Sixth district station house
at Eleventh and Winter streets. thor
oughly remOrseful, and the savings of
three months sqUandered amidst the en-
Elements of the Tenderloin-savings
that had been designed for a summers
sOJourn at seashOre and the mountains.
It was inspection day at the station
house, and Captain Francis Callahan
was present to look over the winter
uniforms of officers and men.
The repentant imbiber of strong Iiuuor
advanced to the desk and told House
Sergeant Boyer in a husky voice that
he was DESTROYS of taking the pledge.
No more strong drink for him. His bib
ulOus days were over.
The different street, house and patrol
sergeants and many of the men of the
district stood in the rOllroom in full
uniform waiting for the ordeal of in
spection. The man who had spent his
substance in riOtOUs living stood with
trembling limbs and eyes which he had
great difficulty in keeping open.
Captain Callahan stepped forward.
Want to take the pledge?"
Il do" replied the penitent
The captain took a huge volume from
a nearby rack, placed it upon the desk,
requesting that the penitent place his
right hand upon the book. When this
was done, while all the assembled Off
GERS and men stood at attention, the
captain said:
You do solemnly swear that you will
abstain from all intoxicating liquors for
a period of twenty years?"
The answer to the oath was i'm the af-
firmative, but the penitent had been
sworn upon a copy OF the city direc-
tory.

BIG jim HILL,s WORDS.

If there has ever been a railroad man
with a broader view than that possessed
by the late Mt Hartman, that superior
individual is James J. Hill And he
tells the bankers at Chicago the truth
when he says the country needs more
farmers.
That is the lesson the whole country
must learn-and learn quickly.
James Patten recognized it, and made
a million because he bought wheat. He
didn't manipulate the market He sim
ply counted the supply and the demand.
And he saw there was not enough food
produced.
The thing has its value and its inter
est TO our Utah people-probably more
than any other. There are millions of
acres of ground in this state that can
raise fOodstuffs. Wheat, corn, root
crops and fruit can be produced here,
and that in spelndidly paying quantities.
The market is strong, and must be in
creasingly so for many years. The
trend of the nation viii be toward cuIti-
waiting the soil. This is solely and pure
" a measure Of self-defense. The peo-
pie will have to raise food, because that
will be the only way to get it. And the
business Of farming has become more
profitable than any other. Managed
with the same care and intelligence with
other businesses, and farming will prove
the best money-maker in which men
can engage.
The sooner farmers get &c work care
fully, scientifically, systematically, the
richer they and their children viii be
come.
There is money in the east-even if
there We're none hereto finance every
good irrigation project and every dry
farming enterprise that capable men can
present There is not enough food pro-
duced. There are not enough farmers.
It is the day of opportunity for the men
of Utah. Let them not neglect the
chances which have been placed within
their very hands.

BEeUILINe THE cREDULoUs.

The other day a member of the Ameri-
can party sat down and thought the
matter over. He is a tair man. He
wants all that is coming to him, but HI
doesn't want any more. He is a citizen
of the United States and of the state of
Utah, and he believes himself as good
as any other; but he doesn't pretend to
be entitled to any more than others get
justly.
And he found, on reflection. that he
had cut himself out of all other parties
in the belief that what is called the
hierarch was debating in political mat
ters. Because of that belief he had
really seeded from the nation at the
last election, and had refused to vote
for president Of the United States. In
fact he remembered he had tried to
keep others from voting the national
ticket, hoping thereby to lose the state
to Taft, so as to show the world that
what is called the American party is too
big to be ignored. And yet he recalls
that the American party WAS ignored
utterly; and that William Howard
Taft carried the state of Utah, and the
county and the city of Salt Lake, all by
good majorities. He had his little Sc
cession all for nothing.
1t occurred to him that, whatever
might be said of the aforementioned
hierarch, the managers of the Ameri-
can party certainly were debating.
They dictated as to who should be can
didates; as to what those candidates
should do; and openly published to the
world that elected officers were not re
sponsibIe to the people. but to the man.
ayers of the American party. And this
thoughtful member Of that Crganization
doesn't particularly like it.
Then he got to thinking whether or
not the original statement was true.
And to save his life, he couldn't see that
the liberties of the citizen-of any citi-
zen-were being trespassed upon - any
church. He began to think a
good deal of pretense and m,eresteA
Hake-believe in the cry. He is a we'll
informed man, and a recognized mem
Der of the American party. But ne
thought the thing out, and he couIdn' t
see that his state or his city was in any
danger from the hierarch. Unless it be
the Kearns machine is the hierarch.
A little reason, a little sensible
thought, will show TO the reasonable
that they have been gulIed by the Amer
lean party managers; and that those
fellows yell: Church influence just
for the purpose Of soaring men into
voting the American party ticket.
The begUiling of the credulous will
never be so easy as it has been in the
past. People are more reasonable.

so SAY HEY AL.

The writer of the subjoined letter has
been an American party voter ever
since that party was organized-until
last fall. Then he refused to follow the
anti-Taft leaders, and voted the Repub-
lican ticket almost entire. He is a man
of prominence sufficient to have been
included in what the financiers of the
Kearns party call their sucker list
the names Of men who give money with
out asking anything in return.
1t win prove an interesting letter;
Herald Republican: As a reader of the
Herald-Republican, L am glad to see 1t
take the position il has on the mayor
ship. The rank and file ought to have
a little to say who they want for mayor.
Halloran gives BransfOFd the nominal
ton for the American party!
What right has any one man to speak
for the party-or a dozen men? Urge
those with crowns to dispose of to wait
a little while, and tell them to give the
A SUBSCRIBER.
Got the right idea, hasn't he? Doesn't
like bossism and dictatorship in one
party any more than in another, does
he?
And that man speaks the sentiments
of a host of others. They Joined the
American party under the mistaken i'm
preston that the citizenship of the state
would be served by that action; and be-
cause he believed it would, after its first
city victory, become the Republican
party of Utah. He finds, just as thou
sands of others like him have found,
that the new party was not designed to
serve the people, but to fill the pockets
and fatten the grudge of a little clique
of men who propose to ruin where they
cannot rule.
Although the writer of the above letter
is a subscriber to The HeraId-RepubH-
can. and voted last fall for most of the
candidates on the Republican ticket, we
think he might have voted the American
ticket this fall if he and his fellow citi-
zens had been fairly used by the leaders
of that malevoIent organization. But he
cannot be sold and delivered by any
bunch of bosses that ever came down
the street.
Little by little the false pretense of
the American party crowd is being
forced upon the consciousness of men
and women who have been the unselfsh
and honest followers of the Kearns
campaigns.
