WAR TALK AND PEACE FOES.

and peace talk in general, are futile
in Il world in which mankind has been
tearing itself In pieces ever since its
evolution out OF the original proto-

mat wars are made on sentiment, and
sentiment Is controlled by opinion, and
OPINION is formed by Instruction and

every other movement thrives on talk;
may be hundreds of years before duel

HAWKS VS. poIsoNs.

i & . 4 = It K u
The News remarked a few days
ago that the Marsh Hawk of our val
leys. while 1t occasionally carries Oft.
poultry and game birds, does so much
invaluable work in destroying field
mice. gophers. and other harmful
rodents. that 1t ought never to be
killed, especially by farmers. News Of
the battle with these rodents all over
the East shows that the ordinary
methods of trying to destroy the bur-
rowers ara expensive and unsatisfac-
tory
The total result shows that hawks
and owls more effectually keep down
the rodents than do all the labortols
and costly methods OF poisoning these
crop destroyers.
A press bulletin from the Kansas
state agricultural college shows that
since 1902 the demand for poison has
continued steady, and large quantities
have been sold, especially for the de-
struction of prairie-dogs and pocket
gophers. Up to the present time there
has been consumed about 200 pounds
+ of strychnine and over half ton of
potassium cyanide In manufacturing
poison, From 800, 600 to 10000 acres of
land, formerly infested with prairle-
dogs. have been entirely reclaimed,
while a partial destruction OF them has
been accomplished oyer q much larger

IT'S USUAL PAsT1NiE.

T.,
Tho anti Mormon or gan Is engaged
4 tn It's usual pastine Of viliacation and
lying, this time anent the reception
given to the visiting ladies' on Friday,
q at saltair. 1t charges that the arrival
Il Of the train about an hour earlier than
I at first announced was q. 9 Mormon
trick and that the Mormon" ladies'
were notified while the others were not.
All OF which Is the yeriegt rot.
Il lit Is true that there WIS some mis-
under tanding with regard to the time
of the arrival Of the train, and also OF
I the depot at which 1T was to arrive,
Il but we happen to know that that mis-
Understanding was general and not
confined to any such class as the anti
Is Mormon sheet always delights In
{ conjuring up for the delectation Of its
4 dupes. we happen to know that Mrs.
I Brixen, Mrs. Wells, Mrs. Gates, and
others were at the o. s. u. depot when
the train came in over the p. g. r. G.
8line. SO they must have played that
eMormon trick on themselves. The
Tribune knows that the ladies We're
not responsible for the train schedule.
1T also knows that every effort was
mad & to notify all the members OF the
committee. 1t simply falsifes, for
the good Of its cause.
But the paper does not stop at5vtlify-I
ing the Mormon" ladies'. It deliber-.
ately insults Mrs. Grannis, the distin-
guished president of the Women's
league, by insinuating that she left the
City in a rage because she had no op-3
portunity Of speaking at Saltair, the
time not permitting the carrying out OF
the program in full as at first intended.
The paper deliberately insults the lady
q by intimating that she is so full Of
vanity, conceit and thirst for revenge
that, because she was not asked to
speak, she Is going to wreak vengeance
by inaugurating an anti" Mormon"
crusade iii the national - societies Of
women. We refuse to believe that Mrs.
Grannis is the woman the Tribune
would have us believe she is. Women
of her ability, and experience, do not
go round the country dying to make
IA speech like green graduates from
colleges. 1t is an insult to insinuate
such foolishness. and we take the lib
8erty OF protesting against it, In behalf
9of Mrs. Grannis.
The exhibition of hatred at this time
blythe Tribune is but a manifestation
Of its general policy. The city never
was visited by anybody of consequence
but that contemplate sheet took occa-
sion to yilify the people that made 1t
possible for 1t to exist here. That is
the way it has 10 advertise this city
and state. Honestly. is 1t not time
for the broad minded people of this
city to rebuke that policy? We know
that many nom Mormon women sim
5cereIy regret this latest outburst Of
Tribune malice. And so do all who
+ have the good name, Of the city at
heart.

KEEPING OUT OF DEBT.


Leigh Mitchell Hodges in the North
American Review.
One reason so many folks find the
road of life uncomfortable Is the fact
that they're walking balefooted over
broken promises. There's nothing so
heavy to carry, so dsheartentng, so
weakening. SO nerve-racking as debt.
If it stopped with the hattening OF the
pocketbook, it would be bad enough:
but itsonly begins there. It weighs on
the mind. 1t places the victim to
in work and play. It
compromises manhood and womanhood,
and eats away at character like can
ker worm. The best and biggest vow a
young man can make is to keep out of
debt. There may come times when he
cannot keep his vow and fulfill his duty
to his own. Such times are not Of free
iquent occurrence, however. but when
they do come, the debtless man will
find It easier to get credit than 1t would
be Ii he had already exhausted his
credit. To keep out OF debt means
seif-respect and self-reiiance. It means
health and happiness and freedom
from that worst of foes, worry.

In regard to our schools, parents
have duties to perform, which they
can i'll afford to neglect. They should
show to their children that they have
an interest in the school. They
should examine carefully the reports
sent by the teacher, should see that
their children are in school every day
and punctual; should assist and en-
courage their children to do all their
school duties faithfully and well;
should cooperate with the teacher in
securing the prompt return of their
children home after school is dis
missed; should make friendly visit
to the school, and talk freely with
the teacher and principal in regard
to same.
