THE INDEPENDENT, AND lLlFF
CHURCH.

Mr.. S. V. Peet, editor Of the Independ-
ent, takes note of the financial difficulty
Of nif church, as recently proclaimed
through the medium of the church pa
per, the Trumpet; and seeks to explain
the reasons. In the first place, the In
dependent recalls some wholly unaat-
tering passages IN the lives Of various
and sundry former pastors of Tiff, and
then boldly declares that there are far
too many Methodist churches in this
city, and that if the presiding elder had
the first CLEANS Of business manage,
ment he would close five Of the sane
tuaries where John Wesley is revered,
and give the three remaining a living
chance for self-support.
Much of which may be true. But we
live IN hope that the badness of the bad
may never come again, and that with
the growth Of the city there may be
people enough to take care of every
temple of worship that has been estab-
lished. We don't want to see any back
ward steps in any Salt Lake enterprise
And at the same time we quite agree
with the Independent in the sentiment
that all Salt Lake churches should be
self-supporting. It is not pleasant tc
reflect that there is need Of one of then
being supported by outside contribu-
ton.

man as Republican candidate for the
Office Of mayor Of whom every clean
and high-class citizen OF the HoosieT
capital was. is and ever will be,
ashamed. There is only one good thing
about him, and that is that the Demo-
crat selected by the Democratic direct
primary was a little worse as a man
and less possible as a mayor. And after
the primaries the Republican was elect
ed. And for four years the reformers OF
indianapolis are going to gnash their
teeth because Of the fruits of their pet
innovation-the direct primary.
1t adds to the public expense. 1t re-
suits in the choice Of the noisy and the
undesirable. It puts the burden on the
people who have complained of politi-
cians-and they find they don't like
what they get by it.
There are many mighty good men
here in the west who proclaim their de-
votion to the direct primary, and who
if they succeed in getting it, will regret
it to the day of their death.

The DIRECT PRIMARY.

Readers Of The Herald-Republican
must have been interested IN that
Washington Post article on the direct
primary system, which was printed on
the editorial page Of Thursday. 1t is a
clear statement Of actual results where
the system had had practical trial.
Probably no other reform" looks so
inviting on paper as does the direct
primary plan. Here is a system by
which all the people in a party may go
to the polls and by their votes, secret
and free, make choice Of the man they
want for their candidate. They are
going later to try and elect him against
the candidate Of the opposition. and
they are freemen enough to know who
they want for their standard bearer
That looks fair and fine.
In effect, candidates make canvass for
votes before the direct primary just as
they do before a convention; or before
the later election. There is no control
By bosses" a thing the professional pa
triot has always abominated in conven-
tions. The machine" is broken. That
is the way the thing looks on paper.
Ask the city Of Indianapolis how il
works in practice. There are a good
many other arguments against the di-
rect primary which could be suggested
but none is more interesting than the
practical experience Of that city.
For years the independent citizens
wanted the direct primary. They final
" got it, And then they nominated q

BOAST oE The BUNDLE.

This is the season when a man may
carry a bundle, and not be scanned with
surprised disapprovaI It Is not a badge
Of servitude, but Of love. 1t is publica-
ton to all who see that even in the busy
hours Of labor the thought has been
even more busy with the loved ones at
home. It is proud confession Of ties
that spur to effort, and obligations that
multiply the load. It is challenge to the
selfish, rebuke to the sceptic, and con-
fusion to that man who is centered in
self.
They hurry to the cars with their
arms full Of bundles, and no matter how
dense the crowd in aisle or platform,
every brother makes way. Out Of the
general contribution Of space, bought at
the expense Of temporary discomfort, is
provided room for the hidden glories
that shall burst magnificent in the
treasures Of the Christmas tree, or press
to blessed corpulence the hanging
stocking.
| Men who would not carry a parcel in
the street at any other time grasp their
/ treasure with care because Of the richer
| treasure to whom it is being taken. and
/ never think of the vanity which they
! confessed through the whole Of the van
! ished year.
And there is a brotherhood in this
| conceding Of purpose by all who join
! the procession that follows the lead of
/ Santa Claus. It is a fellowship big
/ enough 70 include every one whose
heartstrings are bound about the bless
/ ings Of home. It is membership in that
/ imperial republic where all the kindly
/ ire equal, and all the good are happy.
Bless the man who carries a parcel
/ and is not ashamed!

PRoHIBIrIoN in OKLAHOMA.

Washington Post: prohibition Is
failure in Oklahoma" said W. D. Card
well, a prominent lawyer of MuscOgee,
at the Raleigh, land the people will
repudiate it at the next election, when
we will submit to the voters a cOnsti-
tutional amendment providing for high
license and local option in lieu Of the
present statewide law. The prohibit
tionists were successful in the consti-
tutiOnal convention, and had absolute
control of the first legislature But
the police records of the state show
beyond doubt that the statewide pro-
hibitiOn law cannot be enforced.
"The appropriation of $4,000 for the
enforcement Of the law has been ex-
hausted and the police records, taken
from representative cities, show that
crime and drunkenness are on the in
crease. Notwithstanding that the Anti
Saloon league declares that the Okla
hOma law is the best prohibition law
ever passed by any state. The law
has been in force two years, but that
it does not prohibit, Will not, and can
not prohibit, is shown by the police
records.
an the first eleven months after the
adoption Of the statewide law, there
were $3.50 arrests for all Offenses. For
the second eleven months the records
show 1880 arrests for all offenses.
In the same period, arrests for drunk
enness for the first eleven months
numbered 1918, and in the succeeding
l
showing an increase of nearly 100 per
cent. In my opinion, prohibition places
a premium on perjury.
''The grand jury Of Garden county,
Oklahoma, said in substance that a
majority of the prosecutions in that
county were for violations of the pro-
hibitiOn law, and that perjury was on
the increase to an alarming extent
This is true, I believe. of every county
in the state. 1t is a matter of record,
also, that since the law went into eff
feet taxes have more than doubled.
Business men, taxpayers and property
owners are disguised with the present
| law, and are clamOring for a cOnsti-
tutional amendment providing for high
| license and local option.
Those persons who have studied the
/ problem favor strict laws in the con-
duct of saloons. They oppose the treat
/ ing practice, which unquestionably is
responsible for great deal of drunk
enness. and they favor the CLOSING OF
all saloons on Sundays, election days
and after - o'clock at night I am
/ convinced that It will be only a short
time when Oklahoma will return to
local option, coupled with high
| license"

Observation-Disclosures.

Down from the boys in the printshop
of the state industrial school at Ogden

But above all things we want to COM
pliment the school because Of the pro-
gram they have printed-not especially
that which they have prepared. There
is something about the printers craft
which illustrates the quality Of the COM
murity from which it issues. And on
that theory Utah-and all humanity

of the school at Ogden. The printing is
proof Of excellence in the printers art
It is the boast Of the instructor in that

THEY ARE EASILY FRIGHTENED


Who is paying for the congressional
lobby devoted to the Encouragement of
a central bank? What is the reason for
the fight on the central bank, even be-
fore any move for the establishment Of
such e bank has been considered? How
many men in the nation know just how
to reform the monetary system Of the
United States, and cOnfine all their
knowledge to the one attitude Of fight
ing a central bank?
The gentlemen appointed as q com
mittee to consider the matter are fairly
wen represented by Senator Aldrich.
Mr.. AIdrich has plainly said he is not
sure that the central bank is the best
plan. He has told Of existing condi-
tons; explained the weak places in the
present system; pointed out the perils
to be avoided in any plan that may be
adopted. And then he has asked for
cooperation by all the business men
Of the nation.
That isn't a position to be combatted.
In the first place, the central bank may
be the solution Of the whole puzzle. II
may not But the men who damn that
plan and advance no other have made
no argument. Their stock in trade con-
sists Of asserting that a central bank
would become a tyrant; that it would
dominate the business and the politics
of the government.
/ In general they act as If the bankers
Of the country were devoted to the de-
struction Of America; as If financiers
lived, breathed and had their being for
the sole purpose of wrecking fortunes,
! and sending their fellow citizens to jail.
Papers and patriots in various parts
Of the country rail at the notion of a
| central bank. It is stated by no one
| that a central bank Is even remotely
! contemplated. 1t is proved by no one
/ that such a bank would not be helpful.
/ Suppose the strenuous ones possess
their souls in patience, and help their
/ country more by serious attempts at
help than by savage efforts at hin
dranee.

81 NoT AT THAT coRNER.

III VIII not be questioned that The
Herad-Repubncan is In favor Of ex-
tending all possible encouragement to
the owners and managers Of the Saltair
line IN their efforts to increase business;
in their labors toward even more great
~ pOpularizing the resort at the lake.
Their added investment for electrifying
and double-tracking the line to the lake
Is to be commended. and in every FEAST
Bile way encouraged.
But they should not, we think, be al
lowed to add their business to the vol
ume Of travel on Main street anywhere
from North Temple to Third South, at
least. The reasons against that seem to
be sufficient.
Anything which adds to the attrac-
lions Of the city is TO be encouraged.
The lake is an attraction, and travel to
it is probably the biggest one induce
ment to people visiting Salt Lake, par
ticularly in the summer. 1t IS going to
be bigger every year. There viii be ad-
ditional attractions there, and on the
merous and more impelling they are,
the better It win be for Sal. Lake, be
cause it Will add by so much to the to-
tai Of business done in this city; the
total Of money expended here.
But the very fact Of the big business
expected is an argument against put
ting saltair cars on Main street. From
South Temple to Third South. at least,
Main street is pretty well occupied now.
Six lines. besides the almost constant
stream Of depot cars, now pass the
South Temple corner. To add the num-
Der Of cars that would be needed for
saItair travel would amount to a prac-
teal impossibility. 1t would make a
congestion and confusion at that cor
ner utterly destructive Of the public
safety, and bring in it's train a score
OF other objections that need scarcely
be noted.
The Saltair cars should come as close
to the crowd as they can be brought.
The nearer they are to the throng the
more travel they win get, But the
necessary numbers Of them would make
Main street far too crowded. It would
interfere with the regular and Iegiti-
mate city travel. 1t would produce a
menace to public safety in the principal
street Of the city.
We want the enterprise 70 paY-anc
pay big. But certainly some other
route will have TO be adopted than any
that contemplates the use Of Main
street anywhere from North Temple e
the south limit of the business district
And as to laying another track IL
Main street-that must not for a mo,
ment be seriously considered.

meals from the mantle shelf because Of
the memory Of Secretary Knox's kick
ing, bears about the face OF q benefac-
tor; and according to evidence now
safely reposing in the state department
at Washington he has since eighteen
ninety-three followed a course Of the
most absolute debauchery ever permit
ted to mortal man. His excuses are
about the only things In recent happen
ing which make a man forget how bad
the King of Belgium was; and his cruel
ties compel a sense Of shaPne that Nero
should have been remembered.
In the merry Christmas season it is
not we'll to point out Salt Lake men
who look like satyrs ana really are Sc
raphs; and others who look like Pa
triarchs Of Buckingham Yard and yet
are veritable vampires. But any one
can walk down Main street any day
and find that Shakespeare knew what
he was saying.
We are told that every wicked deed
writes its record on the eountenance.
And that may be true Of women. But
men may smile and smile. and still be
villains.

Of the basketball men from the fort at

from every contestant. And some of
them played Tuesday night as if they
