NEW YORK SPREADING.

While the geographical boundaries of the city
of New York are pretty well circumscribed by
water, that the city is spreading out no one can
doubt Last Monday morning pair of tubes con-
Meeting the city with jersey City, N. j., we're
opened to traffic with an elaborate celebration The
effect of the opening is practically to place the
whole north end of New jersey, and country fifty
miles distant from the center of the metropolis, in
a position to take advantage of the opportunities
offered by the city to transact business and to live
away from the city with its distressing noises. 1t
is said the time between the Hudson Terminal build
ing in New York and Exchange Place in Jersey
City is only three minutes.
The system of underground railroads comprises
some twenty miles, and the arrangements are such
as not only to accommodate the traffic of today but
for many generations to come. The entire work is
of metal or concrete so that there is no danger of
fire. and ventilation of the tubes is provided by the
cars themselves, which, running at high rate of
speed are expected to drive out the air in front of
them and draw in a supply from the surface
behind them.
The completion of the tubes is proper subject
for congratuation of the builders and the people
who will have to use the tunnels to get to and from
the city. The benefits conferred on the people of
the city are no less important than the benefits
derived by the inhabitants of New Jersey. Ger
tainly with the completion of other underground
tubes now in process of building and in contempa-
ton New York will soon become the greatest cen
ter of population in the world. Already it has
claims to being the greatest city in the world
claims which any loyal citizen of the metropolis
will verify without blushing

DENATURED ALCOHOL.

-Four revenue agents and seventeen inspectors III
the denatured alcohol department OF the INTERNAL
revenue bureau have been dismissed because there
was nothing for them to do. The reason there was
nothing for them to do is that the manufacture
of denatured alcohol has not reached the lmpor-
lance which a wear or so ago it was expected 1t
would When it was announced that everybody.
especially. farmers, were free to distill as much
alcohol as they wanted to, provided it was denat-
ured, without having to pay the enormous tax I'M
posed heretofore upon the fluid, it was supposed
that advantage would be taken by farmers to sup
ply themselves with cheap fuel and that the new
industry would add thousands of dollars to the
value of the farm products and that the waste
caused by the loss of unmarketable fruit and vege
tables corncobs, cornstalks, melon rinds and SIM
liar useless substances would be eliminated through
the manufacture of denatured alcohol.
But for some reason, the people in position
to take advantage of the law taking the tax off the
product have failed to do 1t is probably not
so difficult to make alcohol from the waste prod
ucts of the farm as it is to make good butter but
for some reason, probably lack of profit, the IN
dustry has not come up to expectations. Coal and
wood are still the greatest used fuels, and coal oil
and gasoline have not been displaced by denatured
alcohol as a medium for furnishing light and
power If the law again revised to permit
the making of alcohol that was fit to drink, no
doubt the four revenue agents and seventeen IN
spectors would find their jobs open to them again.
Alcohol for fuel and light sounds good, but apple
jack and corn juice have a more appealing title
1t seems to be the universal opinion that alcohol
was made to drink, if to judge by the failure
of denatured alcohol to up to expectations
and confident predictions of its promoters.

LIQUID GAS.

1t has been known for q great many years that
a gas, if subjected to sufficient pressure and suf-
fciently low temperature, would become a liquid.
The air we breathe has been changed to liquid by
this process, and the modern Illuminating gas has
also been resolved into liquid. To make prac-
teal application of this principle has been the sub
iect of much thought and experimentation among
scientists for number of years. with the idea of
producing liquid gas as a commodity of CONNER
cial value. The constantly diminishing supply of
the earths natural fuels and the constantly increas
ing price at which these commodities are sold has
served to intensity the interest in the proposition
to manufacture gas in liquid form for producing
heat and light.
The report of the United States consul general
at Zurich in Germany, recently transmitted to the
state department at Washington tells the story of
the progress made in that country with the manu-
facture of liquid gas a commercial commodity
From this report it is learned that the first plant
for the manufacture of liquid gas was established in
1904 in Augsburg, Bavarian city Success has
followed the enterprise great many installations
for heating and lighting having been made. Some
of the German railways also have adopted the LIQUID
gas as a means of Illuminating passenger coaches.
Another plant was established in 1907 near Zurich.
with apparatus sufficient to make nearly five hun
dred pounds of liquid gas day from crude oil The
product is described as transportable LIQUID, which
is simply evaporated used. A tank of the liquid
gas in the house will furnish fire for cooking and
heating, as well as light.
1t has been nearly century since the theory of
changing gas into liquid advanced, first

EXTRAVAGANCE.

If the people of a hundred years ago could come
back and look upon the things Of earth they are
conducted ii this day, doubt they would hold
up their hands and excaim Extravaganza" They
would find extravaganza in every walk of life-in-
dividuas living beyond their means and generous
government doing the same thing, and the people
all hustling to keep up pace that is killing. Some
time ago United States senator said that exrava-
gance was becoming national vice. No doubt he
was right But in our national expenditures, it is
a remarkable fact that while the salaries of legis
latve officers are higher than those of any other
country with which it would be fair to make com
parison the salaries of executive officers are much
lower than the same or similar officers of ether
countries. The president and his cabinet are al
lowed an extremely modest compensation when
compared with the salaries of the executive officers
of European countries While this condition might
indicate tendency toward economy in direc-
lion, nevertheless review of public as well as pri-
vate expenditures we believe will show that we err
on the side Of generosity rather more than on the
economical side of the question.
We might construct a homily, but refrain. The
richness of the country we live in has undoubt-
edy bred within us lack of thriftiness; we think
as the gambler "Come easy, go easy" And while
extravaganza may be a national vice, we may be
consoled by the reflection that enjoying life
as best we may and while we may not take care Of
the pennies there are enough bene6cent trusts to
take care % our dollars and thus save US the trou-
blc and bother of letting them take care Of them
selves

MUSIC OF THE ENC AMPMENT.

While preparations for the entertainment of
the Grand Army during the week OF August
have been going in all lines designed to make
the visit of the veterans comfortable the musicians
of the city have added the touch which will make
the encampment in Salt Lake unique. Harry A.
Montgomery well known among the musicians of
the city, has written the &c. A. r. March which
the committee music of the encampment has
designated as the official" march, The commit
tee of the encampment has been cooperating with
the musicians of the city, and arrangements are
making to have the visiting bands join with the
local organizations in the formation of an i'm
mense musical organization to play the official
march" Certainly it would be inspiring to see
and hear several hundred trained musicians take
up march with good swing. such as the "offi-
ciaE' march has, and parade up the street. 1t
would be inspiring, to say the least
The committee further contempIates band con-
cert with the best visiting bands united with the
local bands. While such arrangement would
probably not meet with all the success that a crit
cal musician might wish, especially if the music
selected we're of the difficult class there are
boundess possibilities in such an arrangement for
playing Marching Through Georgia" Dixie the
&c. A. r. March," or other well-known music of
the kind that appeals to ALL especially the guests
of the city
An evening of patriotic airs by the combined
bands of the encampment would appeal with mighty
force to the lovers of music which includes almost
everybody even if there should be apparent defects
to the supercilious musical Critic. BY all means.

miracle. He afterward restored to marriage It's

all time the unity and indssolubility of married

From the lips of Jesus Christ. the Son OF God.
the Catholic Church received the law on Christian
marriage; that law she has proclaimed from the day
of Pentecost until now; she will continue to pro-
claim it and to defend the sanctity of marriage
wherever and whenever human passions or the per-
verified will of man, assal it.
Supreme Court Justice Henry B. Brown, in his
address before the Maryland Bar association, was
mistaken when he started in answer to Cardinal
Gibbons that 'the Catholic Church offered no re-
lief to the married man who had made a mistake
and discovered when too late he had taken hell
cat for wife" The Catholic Church compels no
man or woman to I've in misery. When the mar
ried life becomes purgatory for the husband or
wife the Church consents, when the occasion de-
mands to separation. But-and here is the point
she prohibits under pain of communication the
remarriage of husband or wife until the death OF
one or the other. Until Jesus Christ speaks again
and revokes his legislation on marriage, the
Church's position on Matrimony must and will re-
main fixed and unalterable.

the order of nature. Why cannot God work through
natures agencies and forces 1t is asserted by IN
fdes that natural laws are nviolable. But, if lv-
ing force directed by human will can counterfeit
the forces of gravitation or other natural laws
then is it unreasonable to assume that living per-
sonal, Almighty God cannot hold in suspense or
counteract the forces of nature when in His wis
dom He deems it well to do so?
Christian theoogians freely admit that there is
an established order in the universe; that there
divinely appointed conditions of health and success
in human affairs which, if we neglect or overlook.
cannot prevent the consequences by prayer; that
what we ask in prayer we must ask in submission
to the will of God. But these admissions do not
exclude the duty of prayer, and its absolute neces-
sity for the man who seeks to reach the end for
which God created him.
Though it is not the ordinary Divine method
to regulate the affairs of man and the universe by
arbitrary miraculous interference with the estab-
lished order of nature, yet we cannot accept any
theory which shuts God out of his own universe
and denies his power and his right to control and
command the forces of the world. Our Redeemer.
in the days of His earthly life exercised such
control over nature that those standing by were
compelled to ask, What manner of man is this that
the winds and the waves obey Him. Are these
miracles of our Lord to be placed among "theologi-
cal figments 2" Underlying the protest against pray
there is the quiet assumption that there is no
living personal God who cares for his creatures or
needs their requests. Our Ogden friends argument
against prayer for rain, if valid would hold good
against all kinds of prayer. Those who speak of
prayer as if it was to teach God and make him the
instrument of human caprice, should remember
Paley's wise words: at may seem good to the wis
dom of God to give us, in answer to our prayers.
what it would not seem good to the same divine
wisdom to give us without prayer"

DOGS.

There are dogs and dogs. We rather like the one
kind but the other kind does not seem to appeal to
us. The first kind is a virtuous, knd-hcarted ami
NAL which loves its master and all that We have
read about more such dogs than we have met The
other kind is the breed that the streets bark
ing and yelping at every passing vehicle and gen
orally making nuisance of itself. We have met
MANY. many of this kind but have never read
anv nice sentimental stories about it.
Good dogs don't the streets loose; they are
too busy at home taking care of the children, guard
ing the property of their masters, protecting the
home and. doing all sorts of commendable things.
The other dogs run the streets, make nuisance or
themselves and disturb the peace of the people,
Dogs really have no more right to disturb the peace
than have persons. 1t is the duty of peace officers
to prevent breaches of the peace but the dogs are
permitted almost everywhere and all the time to
disturb the public peace, and yet nothing IS ever
done about it, 1t would be rather tough on the dogs
if they were all removed from this sphere, but that
seems to be the only way they can be prevented
from being nuisance. Maybe if the dog catcher
got real busy for a day or two the nuisance could
be reduced to a minimum.

CONSERVATION IN UTAH.

The movement started several years ago by
President Roosevelt looking to the conservation of
the natural resources of the United States has taken
practical form in Utah. Governor William Spry
has appointed a commission to gather data con-
corning the resources of the state in pursuance to
an enactment of the legislature of last winter. 1t
is true that during the administration of Governor
Cutler commission was appointed to do the same
thing, at the request of the President, but this
commission acted without warrant of law, and what
facts were collected, though of undoubted value
we're necessarily limited to those things which
under the observation of the members acting with
out any prescribed duties and without definite pur
pose. The law passed at the last session of the leg
islature makes it the duty of the Utah commission
to cooperate with the national conservation com
mission and with similar state commissions in
effort to conserve the natural resources. Data and
statistics relative to the states resources will be
collected and published for the information of the
public and for the use of future legislatures in the
enactment of laws for the protection and conserva-
tion of the resources of the state.
In a new country, in country with the vast
undeveoped riches in mines, oil and almost UNI
limited arid lands which may be brought under cul
tivation by irrigation or by the dry farming pro-
cess, such commission provide data which will
be of inestimable value in future years in the effort
to preserve to posterity some of the abundant re-
sources which make Utah the state of opportunities
The gentlemen appointed by the governor to serve
on the commission DR.. Joseph F. Merrill of
Salt Lake Dr. j. A. Widtsoe of Logan, O. J. Sails
bury of Salt Lake, LIE Roy Armstrong of Salt Lake.
George Austin of Salt Lake, and Thomas L. Allen
of Coalvile, who serve without remuneration. The
personnel of the commission is guarantee that
the important task to which they will devote their
attention will be thoroughly handled, and their con-
clusions and recommendations will be given the
consideration which they deserve.

is PRAYERA PSYCHOLOGICAL FIGMENT?"

My religion is science" said an Ogden teacher
to us on Saltair train last Thursday Every creed
in Chrstendom is being purged of the notion of
pable God, receiving in its stead juster concep-
ton of Supreme Being, too wise to be taught by
and too good to dispense curses and blessings in
a spirit of revenge and favoritism" He then went
to show how science had exploded superstition.

thropomorphic clements which were accepted in the
past and had won over to its side large numbers of

look upon prayer to God as a theological Pigment.
Ali of which is entitled to the same attention
which is given any assertion unsupported by proof
The purifying effect of science on religious belief
is like unto that of the shark on its prey that is
absorption and, for the sharks victim annihilation
and the Protestant creeds beginning to perceive
it. Thoughtful Protestants realize that the fight
is between the positivism of Christianity repre-
scented by the Catholic Church and the entire mega
ton Of the supernatural, of revealed religion on
the part of pure materiasm called science The
secs are encumbering the ground and like the Hes
sian troops in the revolutionary war for independ-
ence they are auxaries of our enemies, though not
recognized as subjects.
We cheerfuly welcome all duly attested facts
of science IN the natural order and admit our obliga
ton to give them place in the sphere open to
examination. But when the scientists undertake to
examine, analyze and criticise the mind of God in
his dealings with his own creatures, we question
their authority and competency to do so.
Our Ogden friend unfairly caricatured PRAYER in
order to disparage it Who would accept as his idea
Of prayer the conception Of God who "dispenses
