ALWAYS THE VIOLATION OF
LAW,

Death is not sent as a punishment for
sins. 1t is not inflicted as a result of a
curse, It comes because of a law dis
obeyed. And the violation of law
brings its own avenger.
It now transpires that the frightful
loss OF life in the coal mine at Cherry
Illinois, was due to the fact that a boy
under the legal age for underground
work pushed a bale of hay against an
open torch, and set the mine on fire.
The mine inspector was chosen with
out regard to the legal requirement OF
knowing the business, and there had
been no inspection since July, although
the law requires monthly inspections.
The law was disobeyed. And in the
train of that violation came the fright
full punishment.
Naturally, it does not fall on the Of
tenders alone. The effects of the retri-
button involve a multitude in no way
responsible. But there is the law
broken. And there must come the pen
atty because of a broken law.
And all society can do is to punish
the violator.

BUY SENSIBLE PRESENTS.

One of the best salesWomen in the
city says it makes her sick to see
some of the purchases for the Christ
mas season. They are so totally need
less. II she didn't know that some
thing of the kind goes on every year,
and yet that the people survive, it is
likely she would be utterly discouraged.
There are so many sensible, reason
able, necessary things to be had" says
this server of patrons. And she is
right.
Look at the advertisements. There
are columns of offerings OF the most
useful things which at the same time
are strihngIy beautiful. Surely it does
not detract from desra bleness Of a
present that it is useful. And surely
there is no compliment in giving some
thing useless to q friend just because
the thing is useless.
There is pleaty Of money in the coun-
try. Every one is prosperous, and Utah
people in particular are in position to
get what they want. But they viii not
prove the possession Of any excessive
sense by buying things that have no
practical value.
No matter to whom you intend giving
present. That person would rather
have something that could be used
something of actual utility than some
thing that is of no earthly account

Is THERE TOO MUCH CARD
PLAYING2

Every few days the statement is
made that the good women of the coun-
try are devoting too much of their time
and attention TO the practice of play
ing cards. The charge has been made
in Utah. News Of it comes from other
states. Here is DR.. Torrey, the evan
gelist, profoundly affecting the people
throw away their cards, and pledge
themselves never to play another game.
The trouble with their games seems
to be the same trouble that attaches to
card playing by boys and by men. 1t
means gambling. In some form or
other, the games that fascinate are
without exception the games on which
something of value is at stake. One
woman, a church member, declined to
accept an assignment of church duty on
a certain evening. because that was the
evening Of her card club. And she sim
ply couldn't stay away"
That is rather a serious symptom. tt
must mean that card playing has be-

Of influence. And it would be better TO
abandon the practice.
It isn't easy for women to exercise
their usual good influence when the
boys and girls of their acquaintance
know the giver Of counsel is a slave to
/ cards.
No matter what bad habits a boy may
fall into, he has some silencer for the
protests and the warnings Of the wom-
an who gets up-winner or loser-from
the card table to administer a lecture.
No matter how wild girl may be,
she need not stand silent before the ad-
monishings Of that matrOn who is
wearing the chains Of a card table

And the world is going to be in very
bad state when the women cannot ex-
/ ercise an influence for good.
Gambling hurts even the toughest Of
men. How much more debasing, then,
it must be for a cultivated woman,

HE HAD A SANE MIND.

In speaking of the transformation of
the Lincoln farm, in Kentucky, from
the untitled and raw condition which
obtained there at the time Lincoln was
born, into a place Of landscape beauty
and approved scenes, the Washington
Post permits itself to wander to an ap-
probation Of Lincoln. It isn't the first,
but it is one of the best brief testimo-
MES to the quality of the Great Eman-
cipator. It comes close to accounting
for his success. Here is a fragment:
Lincoln was unique. He did not have
big intellect like Webster; nor did he
have an exquisite intellect like Cal
hOun. Here is what made him great
man, a stupendous figure Of history
he had a sane mind, without a quirk or
fad; he was endowed with a common
sense instructive and infallible.
He had a sane mind. That was not
an uncommon bestowaL Many men
have that. The reason they do not eff
feet work to the limit of the possible is
that they do not use the powers they
have. They do not make use Of their
sane minds. They do things they know
they should not do, and leave undone
the things they know in their souls
they should And there is no triumph
in them.
What is true Of Lincoln is true Of
men now active in the conduct Of af-
fairs. It is as true of legislators and
executive officers at Washington, and
at the various capitals of the states. as
Of the men in business nearer home
When they make use Of the best
thought they have, they do better than
when they neglect to take counsel with
themselves.
Looking back over the times when
Lincoln Sc tremendously influenced the
action Of government, it is clear he did
the one thing that would carry him to
safety. Any other course would have
spelt ruin. The chosen action, attempt
ed at another time. would have been
just as bad. And people now can see
just what Lincoln with his sane mind
saw then. They can see that he made
use Of the best powers he had.
Aside from the question Of whether
or not the Lincoln farm should be i'm
proved" the Washington Post has
given its every reader a lesson. And it
is the simple one of cuitivating the
sane midland obeying its impulses.
For that way lies victory.

A FREAK IN HISTORY.

When that lone Australian sits on the
ruins of London bridge and looks back
over the records OF the civilizations that
have vanished, his eye will light on no
more diverting passage than that which
records the activities of the suffragettes
of the twentieth century. He will dig
deep into the causes and effects Of that
strange incident. and viii drop the rec
ord at length into the hurrying stream
below him with the query-of necessity
addressed to himself: What were they
crying to do?"
For it win not be enough to take their
own answers. They say they are trying
10 get votes for women. Which is a
reasonable desire enough. But what on
earth has that desire to do with such
scenes as this-a cable report from
London?
The only divergent note here, as else
where, came from the suffragists, who,
after a term of comparative quiet, again
started to indulge in attempts to break
1lp the radical meetings. The Trafalgar
square crowd, however, was too great
for their efforts to have any erect.
They were more successful at South
port, where by climbing to a roof and
shouting through the skylights they
succeeded in interrupting Winston
Spencer ChuTchil's meeting, and at
Leith, where, aided by rOughs, they Gre
ated a diversion by attempting to storm
a meeting which Sir Edward Grey, the
foreign secretary, was addressing.
Fooled by the Leith police who
.NawraI fhn nuovv1 with hqfoUE the
women got their revenge by hurting
bricks through the windows Of the pub
lie buildings. Secretary Grey, whose
speech was not interrupted to any eX-
rent, spoke strongly for the reformation
Of the upper chamber.
Is it any wonder that Mrs. Pankhurst
goes home to England dissatisfied with
the passivity Of her suffrage sisters in
America? They retain the sanity with
which they were born, at least; and
they see no profit in such demOnstra-
lions a that Of their sisters in England.
And it is to be hoped they may long re
frain from such eXtTavagances.
That lone Australian on the ruins of
the bridge will have a lot the better of
us in the matter Of knowing just how
the struggle terminated. But it is not
believed he viii find in the record any
evidence that the most precious privii-
eye in the gift Of society win be be
slowed on any class whose sole proof
of right TO it is in the ability to exceed
all other classes in Iawlessness and I'M
seemlv behavior.

One wonders how the world kept well

GETTING CITIZENS FROM
CANADA.

Mr.. George Taylor, a member of the
Canadian parliament, rises to ask his
government what steps are taking to
prevent the emigration of Canadians
to the United States.
''The emigration in that direction is
larger than is generally suspected, %
says Mr.. Taylor. ct has been egtimat-
ed that there are a million. persons of
Canadian birth now residing perma-
nently in the United States. A careful
investigation a few years ago showed
that there were half a million in the
New England states alone" And then
he goes on to say that the movement
from the dominion to the republic is
going all along the line. even to the
Pacific ocean.
Which is more encouraging than had
been suspected. It means that there is
some compensation for the native
Americans who have gone to one pro-
vince or other north of the international
line. Of course, we would rather have
our own people; but the Canadians,
whether east OF west, are good citi-
zens, and valuable additions to the
manhood of the nation.
But, if Canadians can find good rea-
son for abandoning their own country
and coming into the United States,
there should be small reason for citi-
zens Of the republic leaving their ma
ton and going to the lands to the
north.
And that is especially true of Utah
Our people have every possible advan-
tage that can be offered in the domin-
/ ion. They should not do themselves the
/ injustice to go away from home.
