TWO NEW APPOINTMENTS.

The selection Of Dan Alexander and
John Jensen to be assistants to the
county attorney will be approved by
every one who knows the men.
They are two Utah boys who are
following a long line of example, and
are making good. They have worked
their way through all grades Of school,
worn apprOvable clothes all the time.
and have come home with a young
mans mastery Of the law. There isn't
the ghost Of a chance that they viii
fail. Because they have made so good
use Of their youth, they will make an
even better use Of their manhood, and
will certainly succeed.
Their success should be an inspira-
ton to every boy in the state. They
had about as much handicap as any
boy is likely to know. If they succeed
ed, no one need fail.
And besides all that, they have won
and kept a host Of friends. And every
friend congratulates the county that it
has in its service men of the quality
and the character and the equipment
Of Alexander and Jensen.

AT CIVILIZATIONS CENTER.

New York Dec I.-In care Of the So
ciety for the Prevention Of Cruelty TO
Children in Newark are four children,
ranging In age from 5 to II years, who
until last night had never seen a stair
way, who had never known what it was
to be washed, and who shrieked in ter
TOr when put in a bath tub, and who
were willing to leave a life practically
amounting to savagery only when they
were told Of Santa Claus and the mean
ing of Christmas. They were found by
Jared ". Kimball, superintendent of the
society, living in a rude hut Of boards on
the slope Of the Orange mountain in the
borough Of West Caldwell, within six
miles Of the center Of Newark.
Slept on the Ground.
When found the children were living
with their father, Archie Johnson
woOdchOppeT, and their mother, in an I'M
heated shack built of untrimmed boards,
without floors, il being necessary for the
four to sleep on the ground, a life they
had always been accustomed to live Three
of the children had neither shoes nor
stockings, the youngest child feet being
covered with the remnants of shoes cast
off by his mother and tied to his feet
by rags. None had Undertaking, one
child being clad in a Bingham skirt and
an old cloth cape, while the others wore
remnants OF trousers, and for covering on
the upper parts of their bodies had cot
ton shirts and pieces of overall jackets.
Terrified by Crowds.
Superintendent Kimball said that the
journey to Newark was the strangest in
his thirty years experience as the head
of the society. Passing through thickly
settled towns on the way, the children
were terrified by the holiday crowds in
the streets. Overcoming this by famil-
iaritv. they shouted and exclaimed at
buildings, calling attention to their height,
and as the structures grew higher as the
center Of Newark was approached their
cries of wonder increased.
When they arrived at the sOciety's ref
uge they were more amazed. They COM
mented upon the warmth of the building.
unable to explain steam heat. Told that
they must go upstairs, they did not know
what was meant and when the stairway
was shown to them they did not know
how to ascend. Eventually they began
the Journey on hands and knees, climbing
laboriously step by step to the top as If
ascending a high rock.
Afraid of the Mater.
The disrobing in the bathroom was ac-
connlished simply by tearing the rags
from the children, and they watched with
amazement the filling Of bathtub. They
had TO be put i'm the water by force, be-
ing convinced that it was either torture
CT a method of execution. After the eN-
perience, they wished to repeat it. Kind
ness they did not understand at first, but
Mr. Kimbal said that the four followed
him around wherever he went. The
clothing supplied by the society was
Source Of wonder to them, and the cause
of a pathetic show OF vanity MI KIM
In questioning them, it was found that
they knew nothing whatever OF. schools,
while the three RS were mystery un-
fathomad because undreamed Of A
chance question regarding Christmas re-
v-aIad that nona knew of it, and Santa
Claus was a delight to them.

WHERE WREcKs HRE THICK.

Take a map of the Massachusetts,
coast line. Note the sweep of Cape
Cod out into the sea and half way
back again. That whole region to the
north, the east and the west of Race
Point is crowded thick with wrecks all
over the floor Of the ocean.
Then follow the arc of the eiaw-like
land TO the south and west, and note
what little neck of land it is that
separates the waters of Cape Cod and
Buzzards' bay.
The wrecks occur up there around
Race Point, or in the effort of vessels
to get out of the ocean, and into the
Shelter of the land. 1t has been a
graveyard for vessels ever since there
was shipping on the New England
coast.
II the New Englanders had the enter.
prise Of the people of Utah, they would
cut q canal across at Buzzard's Bay
and send their ships down into the
sound without peril Of the terror at the
point of Cape Cod.
The papers are filed with the terrible
record Of the Christmas storm on the
coast Nine out of ten of the ships
that were lost would have sailed safely
to port if they could have had the free
dom of that possible canal where Barn
stable county is pasted on the main
land of Massachusetts,.

vital statistics, that we feel we shall
not see his like again.
And we shall miss Lou Kelsey. Lou
didn't need be missed, either. He was
the drum major of the oficeholders
convention, and did more to get John
Bransford city broke and sure to stay
tied, than any other man on the pay
roll, And thereby he attracted atten-
ton to himself. The Tribune people
had sworn by the beard of the prophet
that BransfOrd never should have the
Office again. and when it became evil
dent that there was some mistake
about that, the Tribune put vaseline on
its crow and swallowed bill, body and
spurs. But 1t demanded the sauce of
Kelsey's retirement. Wherefore, there
is a break in the ranks of the patriotic
band that fought. bled and dyed their
hair that Bransford might make them
solid for another two years.
And at that, we don't see that the
mayor is going to do any better than
give the place back to Kelsey again. 1t
looks like a shame to go out of town
to get an engineer. Lou has probably
learned the engineers business by now.
It might be cheaper to reinstate him
than to have another tyrO learn the
trade at the expense of the city.
And it would be so much more easy
to get around with the same old gang
than to have to make new acquaint-
ances

MADE AN HONEST WAGON.

Next Sunday will complete fifty
years Of married life for John NIohler
Studebaker and his wife, whose maiden
name was Mary Jane Stull.
The statement viii be perfectly I'M
derstood anywhere in the world. And
no one win ask, ''Who is j. NJ. Stude-
baker?" The world knows who he is.
The world knows that he has arrived
at great wealth, at the command of a
business which extends to every part
Of the world, that he has an army of
employees on every continent, in both
hemispheres-and all because from the
beginning the Studebakers have made
an honest wagon.
Doubtless it is not the only honest
wagon. Doubtless there are many hon
est wagons. But this is the honest
wagon that the Studebakers have
made. And because they have been
honest in every detail of their lives,
they have grown rich. And within
week the head Of the house will cele-
brate his golden wedding.
They were married on the farm home
Of the brides parents. A bunker
preacher married them. The bride
didn't wear any jewelry. Neither did
the groom. She wore no conventional
gown, and she didn't have any maids
Of honor. And there was no organ to
play Memberships wedding march as
the two high contracting parties"
came down the stairs and crossed the
room. Dunkers don't believe in mu-
steal instruments; and it Is doubtful if
they came down stairs, anyway. Al
though those old German Baptists
lived well IN Indiana in the old days
as they do still-it is more than likely
the Stun farmhouse was a one-story
affair.
But they were sound in health and
morals. They were honest and careful
After that, the opportunity came. The
Studebakers established the honor Of
their house, the fame of their wagons;
and the government bought-countless
numbers of them. And every one else
bought. And the wagons bear the
quaint old German name wherever the
roads are cut out, and do their work
faithfully and well.
1t is better TO make an honest wagon
and celebrate a golden wedding than
to rule an empire, or corner the wealth
of the world.

SALARY OF eoVERNoRs.

Do you know how much salary is
paid to the governors Of the several
states?
Well, then, do you know how much
is paid to the governor Of Utah?
Now that the teachers are here in con-
vention there really shouldn't be any
thing left unknown.
Governor Spry gets four thousand
dollars a year. And it is the judgment
of those who have watched him so far
that he earns every penny of it.
Six governors in the United States
get considerably more. They are, re
spectively, the governors of California,
illinois, New Jersey, New York, Ohio
and Pennsylvania.
Governor Deneen Of Illinois gets the
biggest pay of any. He receives twelve
thousand dollars & year, The rest Of
these named get ten thousand dollars.
Nine governors get less than does the
chief executive of Utah. They are, re-
spectiveIy, the governors of Maine, Ne
braska, New Hampshire, North Da-
kota, Rhode Island, South Dakota,
South Carolina, Vermont and Wyom-
ing. The governors Of Wyoming and
Nebraska each is paid twenty-five hun
bred dollars a year. Massachusetts
pays her governor eight thousand; and
it is the only one in the republic paying
that sum, unless you except Porto Rico,
the governor of which province receives
governor Of which province receives
the same-eight thousand dollars
year. New Mexico and Arizona each
pays three thousand dollars. Alaska
and Hawaii-which is pronounced with
"v." you remember-each pays five
thousand.
There-have you learned anything?

WHAT ARE THEY THERE FOR?

If the penalty clause is not to be en-
forced, what is it there for?
That question is especially pertinent
in the matter of Mr.. Moran's pavement
Of East First South street. He was
away over the time in which he
should have completed that work. and
much of the delay was pure stubborn
ness. Pat wanted one kind of asphalt
there, and the people wanted another
kind. And he started in to make them
sorry they invoked the plain letter of
the law.
OF course it did make them tired. OF
course they regretted seeing that half
block of street lying all summer un-
paved. while all the rest was completed
according to contract, and in the allot-
ted time
In general these penalty clauses
should be enforced. There are circum-
stances under which they may be

waived by the city in the general in
terest Of all the people. But this East
First South street case was not one of
the kind.
We beg to suggest to the new admin
istration that the best service of the
public requires that the penalty be en-
forced.
