A Snake Story.

The family were at dinner when there came a tap at a door seldom opened. Winning no attention. it was repeated and again a third time, though more softly, and then the door was swung back and. behold. there was d snake. knocking at the portals of hospitality. Down upon it's head. in conformity with the decree of tradi- tion and with EZra's understanding of scriptnral direction. crunched a Brit ish boot. It was a mother snake. who having bravely overcome her fear of man, was seeking sustenance. not for herself perhaps, though she was starv- ing. but more likely for the little ones that were found in the grass by the brook. Thus for once, at any rate. did the craftiness of the devil succumb to the instinct of motherhood.-Geo E. NJ. Harvey in North American Re view

Tha "Macaroni."

The "macaroni" were exquisites or fops who in England and France led the fashions from 17SO to 17S5 and were distinguished by an immense knot of artificial hair worn on the top of their heads. A small cooked hat which perched ridiculously on their topknot satin or brocade coats aud small clothes fitting tightly to the body and silk stockings with ribbon Garter> composed the costume of these fash ionable gentlemen, who invariably car ried a long walking stick with tissrI>' attached and frequently bouquet tied to the handle and encouraged minr- ing and affected gait and manner. There was during the war for inde- pcndence a body of Maryland soldiers who on account of their shoUy uni forms were called "macaroni''

THE MILITARY SQUARE.
A Formation Borrowed by Wallace
 From the FIeminos

The greatest of all Scottish anniyer- saries is that of Bannockburn. fought
 in the year 1314. Apart from it's bear
 ing on the independence of Scotland. the battle will always have an excep- tional interest from the military point or view, as Bannockburn may be said to have been the birthplace of the British square. Proud Edwards army mainly consisted of cavalry, while that of the Scots, on the other hand, was almost exclusively composed of foot folk armed with the spear and these Bruce threw into ''schil- troms, or oblong squares, formation borrowed by Wallace from the Elem inSs, who had employed it with sue cess at Courtray to resist the charge of the English cavalry
 Hitherto the mounted mail clad knight had carried everything before him, but Courtray and Bannocllburn proved that he was powerless to break reSolHte spear armed infantry drawn up in "schitrom," or hedgehog. forma- lion, and these two battles revolution ized the tactics of the continent and of our own island. Proftins by the lesson which had been taught them at Bannockburn, the English applied the tactics of the Scots with brilliant success at Crecy and still more at ASincourt. As it was the Scots who may be said to have originated the British square at Bannockburn, so it was they again who at Balaklava were the first to discard it with their thin red line" and now, owing to our changed conditions of warfare, it is discarded togcther.-London Chron- irle

The U. s. government in it's Pure rood Law does not "intorse'' or guarantee any preparation, as some manufacturers in their advertise ments would make it appear. In the case of medicines the law provides that certain drugs shall be mentioned on the labels, if they are ingredients of the preparations. Ely's Cream Balm, the we'll known family remedy for cold in the head, hay fever and nasal catarrh, doesn't contain single injurious drug, so the makers have simply to print the fact that it com plies fully with all the requirements of the law.

FINANCIAL SUCCESS OF THE FAIR

At the beginning Of the present week
nearly three million people had paid to
enter the Alaska Yukon Pacific .exposi-
ton at Seattle. By the end Of the pres
ent week the attendance will easily ex-
coed the number of all the soults there
were in the United States at the time
Of the Revolutionary war
The management has paid off all the
debts, all the stock. and most all Of
the bonds. The city and the region Of
Seattle have vastly benefited by the
show. and yet it has cost them almost
nothing. The tide of attendance is In
creasing. and there are yet two weeks
in which to make money enough to re-
tire probably all Of the bonds.
There is a thing for our own Salt Lake
people to consider, Here is the place
for a national fair. Utah has much to
offer to the sightseer. All the world
wants to come to Utah. Most of the
world does come, one way and another

OF HE HOME.

tt was a wise statement Of the case
made by Rabbi Hevesh of the Congre-
CATION Montefore, in responding to the
greeting of his people. that the work of
the synagogue rests on the home. That
is true Of every church, Of every organ
ization formed for the betterment Of
the race. Without help Of the home
there will be little Of advancement
And the rabbi was wise, too, in the
statement that the home can get much
help from the church. The service is
mutual. The results are shared by both
parties. The home is better because of
the church. the church is better because
Of the home.
And there is the obligation Of those
who have guidance and control Of the
young. II they do well their part the
church to which they belong viii -four
ish splendidly. If they fail, there can
be no helpful condition anywhere.

WHO sETs John AsIpE2

Really, we fear the form Of the ques-
ton is open to objection. Familiar as
every one should be by this time with
the phrase Of local employment, we may
have gone wrong. The title TO the arti-
Gle should be: Who sets John apart?''
And it is open to a grammarian's criti-
cism, even then
But we find in the public press and in
converse with men on the street that
John Bransford has been 'set apart" or
aside. or whatever it is. for mayor Of
Salt Lake. Certain gentlemen have gone
to him and asked him if he viii accept
the Office Of mayor. And he has told
them he will.
Some other gentlemen have gone to
him and asked MIN TO be the candidate
of their party for the Office Of mayor;
and he has spoken his decision in that
matter.
Who gave these people authority to
name John Bransford for mayor? There
has been no convention as yet. The
people have not spoken. The only body

SHALL CALIFORNIA BE DIVIDED?

If that man is great who makes two
blades of grass grow where only one
grew before, what shall be said of the
manor men-who make two states
where there was before no more than
one?
Time and again the people of northern
California have declared they would di-
vide themselves from each other: that
the south might go. and the north would
take care Of itself. And they of the
south have declared they didn't want
to be in the same state with Shasta, any
way.
But it has remained for the state
board of equalization to lay on the last
straw. That body has increased the
taxable valuation Of the southern coun-
ties in biblical degree; Some thirty,
some fifty, and some an hundred fold. 8"
And there is war in the south.
For years we have been reading of
increased values in southern California.
Various people have told exaggerated
stories Of the multiplied wealth of that
region. The estimate placed on it by
the state board of equalization is much
more modest than many Of the reports
that have been given circulation. And
they are the first that the south end OF
the state has complained about
Can it be that southern California is
like the rest Of the world-just little
inclined to lie to the assessor?

WHAT is AN EXECUTIVE
OFFICER?

All an executive officer has to DO is to
enforce the laws as he finds them. Now
and then lawyers laugh at the justices Of
the peace-the primary grade Of tribu-
nals-who get cut Of enforcing a law
by declaring It unconstitutional. The
spectacle Of a justice Of the peace pass
ing on the consdtutonality Of a law al
ways amUses a lawyer.
But what shall you say of a public
officer, elected by the people, sworn by
the spirit Of popular government, paid
by the citizens. who admits the exist
ence Of the law, comedies its constitu-
tionality, and yet refuses to obey it?
That IS what John BransfOrd did.
He found a law on the statute books,
and fairly riddled it with his influence
and his official power when he backed
the stockade scheme. He not only re-
fused to obey the law, but he removed
from Office his chief of police who didn't
want to disobey. Then he appointed an
other chief of police VINO was willing 70
ignore the law.
They drove through the law as if
they were absolute dictators, and didn't
have to consider the statutes # a state,
The ordinances Of a city. There never,
il all the history o. IBIS nations CEN
fury of progress, has been a more gIar-
ing example of an executive officer de-
flying the laws of the land.
John Bransford could have been i'm
peached and n-disgraced-out of
office for his conduct of the stockade
matter.
And yet some people who put the
city i'm ali uproar" because of the stock
ade are out with Endorsement Of the
man who made the stockade possible
AND THE ONLY MAN IN ALL
UTAH WHO COULD HAVE GIVEN
1T STANDING IN THE COMMUNITY.
All an executive officer has TO do is
enforce the law. John Bransford not
only didn't enforce the law, but he
didn't let his subOrdinates enforce it.
He fired them when they refused to
join him I'm violating it.
Is that a good man for law-abidiug
citizens TO proclaim as their choice Tor
mayor again. If he is To be permitted
to pick and choose what laws he shall
obey, do you know what is the next law
that viii be made imperative by him?

SCHOOL OR FRATERNITY?

over at Denver the papers say one
hundred High school boys have gone
on strike" because they viii not be per
mittcd to join frateTnities. We under
stand something of the same kind af-
fects the youth of many other cities
But boys are men. after all. They
are reasonable creatures. And it would
seem that the boy has but to decide
which is the better for him-school OF
fraternity.
He can't puzzle very long over that
And if he can be a member Of but one,
he viii see that he better drop the fra
ternity, and stay in the school.
That is the part Of wisdom, and that is
the reason we believe the boys viii
adopt it.

obtained in a free country has been
utterly and entirely ignored in the mat
ter.
The American party is strongest in
the fellowship Of the men and women
who have been made to believe that the
Mormon church is trying to dictate in
the civil affairs of the city and state;
that it is trying to control the govern
ment in Utah. And if they believe that,
they are warranted in opposing. The
Herald-Republican doesn't at all believe
it to be true. But we have every re-
spect for the person who honestly does
believe it, and on that belief bases his
allegiance to the American party.
But is it any worse for the church to
set apart" a certain man for a certain
Office, without consulting the people,
than it is for Tom Kearns to do it? Is
the objection to be lodged in the man
who becomes dictator?
If so. there be men who would rather
have the Mormon church than Thomas
Something Kearns for a dictator-and
they have excellent reason for their
choice. But in truth. the head of the
Mormon church is not trying to dictate.
And THE MANAGERS OF THE TOM
KEARNS PARTY ARE DOING IT!
That is the interesting and the unde-
niable thing.
They make him their candidate. They
sign a letter, assuring him of the honor
if he will accept it. They don't ask the
people. They seem afraid to go into
convention, and let the people say who
will be the candidate for mayor on their
own ticket. They choose the mayoTal
candidate, "set him apart" and then
expect the convention to ratify the
choice already made.
Oh, you American party peo"' 10
like to pretend that you are ~, aid
every one else is bound, you have
good deal of amusing fact to explain
away.
