THE NERMoUuTAM AND COLORADO CATHOLIC: JUNE 3, 1909

vailing unrest of the people The dornlha'ins
voice in the life and teaching of our Blessed LOiu
was for the uplifting and betterment OF our rac'
by the suppression of pride, avarice, greed Seii'SA
ness and the other unholy ambitions, passions anu
desires which encompass US.
There are multitude of people in our towns
cities and rural districts who confess Ohil'.'
the cant has it, who continue to indulge their III
cnations for the seven deadly sins and make ~
effort to conquer their evil appetite
The modern sectarian church Is too often Sol'
of religious club" merely social lnstltu'lon
place of meeting for pleasant intercourse place
for the well-dressed few to congrcgate. but from
which thousands of Woodworking and Well-mean-
ing men and women are barred because they are
poorly and unfashionably dressed.
And the sectarian pulpit is silent, face to tace
with these sins and abuses, And why! Because
the preacher who would raise his voice to protest
AGAINST the established order of life, OF the nXeu
habits of the churchgoers, would lose his consre-
CATION and his stipend.
Herman Gault says: Diet us arouse the puDhc
conscience" as if conscience was simply doing OF
something living dormant and but awaiting the
toucb of magic voice to waken it to life 1he
reign of graft so much deplored by Mr.. Gauit' is
the direct result of our neglect to "bring up the
child in the way he should co. for seven when he
is old. he will not depart from it"
We would remind Mr.. Gault that 1t Is Impossible
to arouse corpse, and that the hope of the future
lies in returning to the Catholic Church; that the
dead body must be born again before 1t can rise
out of it's corruption and decay. We would also
remind him that the heather professors OF our uni
versities are preaching no new negations; their
opinions were old in the days of Epictitus and
Lucian; these opinions were held, taught and ma
terialized by Robespierre, Danton and Marat' who
we're submerged in their own blood by their dis
ciples whose shout of victory was: mi D1eu' nj
Maitre-No God No Master"
Either our republic will, in self-protection, be
forced to provoke quarrel with some foreign
neighbor or strangle the preachers of lust and
license who are disgrace to our civilization,
menace to our institutions and foul sores on the
thing mscalled education.

PAVING AND PARKING.

In city like Salt Lake, where the streets have
been laid out with more than generous proportions
the question of paving is serious one 1t is we'll
recognized fact that streets of thirty-four feet
width are usually adequate to accommodate the
traffic of city in its residence districts and any
width greater than forty feet is waste of money
and material. These things have been worked out
in older cities of the east and it would be economy
for Salt Lake City to profit by the experience of
those cities. The paving of streets of American
cities Is development of the last twenty-five years.
and those who have devoted their attention to the
subject have formulated their experience into plans
and have laid down some four or five fundamental
principles. The width of the roadway, as WEI have
stated. is one of them
Another principle laid down is that where
streets more than forty feet wide. the extra
space should be utilized curb park; the center
park IS recognized less satisfactory. These curb
parks must be constructed by the city in order to
secure uniformity The center parking idea is
condemned except very wide streets, on the
ground that it leaves two roadways that are
entirely inadequate to accommodate the traffic. that
is, two roadways of twenty feet each will not ac-
commodate the traffic of one roadway thirty-four
feet. The experience of many cities shows the side
parks to be far desirable than the center park
the sides to be of equal width and uniform.
The best method of collecting the cost of street
paving and parking is said be to arbitrarily raise
the assessed valuation of lots in the paved district
suitable amount rather than to assess the improve
mcnt as special taxes An increase of about So per
foot front on lots on paved streets would provide
for the cost in about twenty years. but the other
method of special assessment has been in practice
here it would probably be we'll to maintain it. The
lots may then be arbitrarily assessed at a higher
valuation, in addition to the special assessment,
which arrangement serves to produce more revenue.
Under the increased assessment plan, a taxpayer
whose property was assessed at $1,000 and was in
creased to 81 100 would hardly notice the increased
tax yet vast amount of improvement work could
be carried on with that assured income.
Salt Lake is getting many miles of paved streets.
It needs more than it has. but it would be we'll to
look into the experience of other cities in the mat
ter of parking and decide the question of side parks
or center parks on that experience, and not on an
opinion not backed by authoritative knowledge of
the subject The advice of the greatest authorities
is easily attainable, and this information should
ainly prevent any serious mistakes in the matter.

UPLIFT THE STAGE.

President Taft and several members of his of
fetal cabinet besides several senators and members
of the house of representatives. last week visited
theatre in Washington and, finding the play not
to their liking, got out at the end of the first act.
but stopping long enough to tell the manager their
objection to the play There hysterical dis
play of shocked modesty or anything of that kind.
The gentlemen concerned simply wouldn't stand
for the performance, and they got out of the thea
ire. We have never heard it intimated that they
are not men of red blood or clean morals. The play
simply did not appeal to them.
They certainly have shown the rest of Us how to
elevate the stage to uplift it. to purify it. If the
rest of the country wants to the stage elevated,
here is the opportunity No one doubts that there
is room for an uplif and then, but it is all too
plain that the stage is managed by men who attempt
to give the people what they want A poorly staged
performance, be it so pure and innocent, will
not attract attendance. The people do not want
that kind. But put a performance with proper
scenic effects and capable actors, and the public is
tions are believed by the managers to be wanted
by the public, and they, poor men, after the
favor of the public, and supply it with what they
believe it wants
The only way to uplft the stage is to uplift the
demands of the public from that stage. The action
of President Taft and his co-worlers shows one
way to get at the managers heart. The example
ought to be followed by a great many other stage
lovers 1t is worthy of emulation.

PATTEN MADE A MILLION.

Mr.. Patterns great wheat deal melted him over
a million dollars it is said. A million dollars is
great deal of noney-equal to twenty years salary
of the president of the United States. How much
of it he considers that he earned do not know.
It was "legitimate' deal in wheat. Mr. Patten
got figures which satisfied him there was not enough
wheat in the world to satisfy the demand at prices
around dollar bushel So he bought; then he
bought some more. He did not the wheat
market; he simply took on all the wheat he could
handle.
1t was a natural calamity that the supply of
wheat should run short. 1t indicated that some
body would have to go hungry. That, of course,
was the opportunity to be seized. Mr.. Patten
seized it. He made a million dollars. That is, he
took million dollars from the great army of con-
sumers who have to eat wheat. He did not produce
a grain of wheat, nor did he make any effort to
supply those who need wheat He simply seized an
opportunity when his knowledge showed that the
supply of wheat was inadequate to the demand, and
squeezed millior dollars out of consumers. He
was very smart, but we fear the milk of human
kindness is not part of the contents of his blood
Still Mr.. Patten is not very much different from
anybody else who has knowledge of shortness of
products of any kind. There is not much sympathy
in the business world. 1t it wasn't for bargain
sales now and then the most of us would have to
ask for charity.

GROWING UP.

Nearly everybody can remember how III the days
of their youth there was sort of jealousy in the
town between the Northenders and Southenders or
the Eastsiders and the Westsiders. 1t was mostly
a good-natured jealousy which took form of base
ball games on the Fourth of July, among the grown
folks, but among the boys there was certain seri-
business about the matter that could not then be
explained. And we doubt if the explanation has
been found by great many people even to this
day.
And when we grew up our rivalries extended be-
yond the confines of our town, and the next town
was the subject Of much suspicion. But as the
years of discretion are attained and our outlook is
broadened we naturally lay aside our petty antag-
onisms and look with suspicion on the nations of
the world
The explanation of this we believe is in the fact
that we learn moro about our fellow citizens as VIC
grow older We have found out by social and com
mercial intercourse that the Northenders in the
town have the same ambitions as the Southenders.
and that our neighboring towns are doing their best
TO so live as to be worthy of emulation. In the
matter of international jealousies, we have not
broadened sufficiently to put these aside with our
other childish fears.
In the early days of the republic, some hundred
and thirty years ago. the means of communication
we're limited to the speed of horse and after the
revolution was ended and peace and independence
had been attained it took some ten or twelve years
to aay the suspicious of the colonies each for the
other and to weld the thirteen into an ndissouble
union. Human nature is naturally suspicious of
that which it does not know. The boy, you know.

THE STATE CAPITOL.

Next Tuesday the people of Utah will have
chance to vote for state capitol. incidentally,
though of very little Importance in the present is
sue, they will have a chance to vote against the
same state capitol. If there are any who intend
to vote against the proposition they have not been
very vociferously procaiming it. and about all who
are asked if they intend to vote YES" answer in
a surprised tone, why of course So it is safe
to presume that the proposition will carry-at least
in Salt Lake City And there is no apparent reason
why the whole state should not be of the same opin
ion-no reason why the count of ballots should not
indicate a majority "for" of 100 to l.
Governor William Spry this week issued state
ment in which he pointed out many good reasons
why the state should have its own building; the
present lack of accommodations, the difficulty of
doing tie states business with the various state
offices scattered over the business district of the
city, and the enormous rentals paid for these in
adequate and meager accommodations.
State pride should be an impelling motive in
deciding this question. Nearly every state in the
Union has state house, and Utah cannot afford to
lag behind in the procession. And it should be
big state house, entirely adequate to meet the de-
mands of the st ~ several hundred years. We
have the expert, + other and older states in
the matter of SIZE and we should profit by that
experience.
It is not political, religious or sectional ques-
ton that is to be decided It is question whether
the state government shall maintain a dignifed
position in the ssterhood. Besides, the state can't
afford to be without state house; can't afford to
pay rent for her Offices; can't afford to run the
chance of having her landlord set her out on the
street some day. There is apparent reason why
the vote should not be unanimous in favor Of the
state house, unless indeed, petty jealousy of the
wonderful progress of the capital city should mpel
The people of the backwoods to vote against it.

to recall the deeds of valor done under the trying

it is hard to realize the terrific sacrifices which they
endured. 1t is therefore proper that we should
honor the survivors and pay tribute of respect
and love for that mighty army of young men who
fought and gave their lives that the republic might
live.
And from it all may we learn the awful cost to
the world of war. What vast army of poets. phil
osophers teachers, preachers and noble citizenship
sacrificed themselves on the altar of war! How the
progress of the nation and of the world was ar

century has slipped by since the first call to arms
and more than forty years since the close of the
great conflict between the states. 1t was a mighty
war and there was bitterness and acrimony de-
veloped that took many of the intervening years to
assuage. 1t was a fight for principles which each
side in the conflict held dear to their hearts And

those mighty American armies there has grown I'D

A SATURNALIA OF LUST AND LICENSE.

Herman Gault the Anglo-French essayist, COM
menting on the atrocous and destructive doctrines
promulgated from the seats of learning in our uni
versities. deplores--in the North American Review
for May-thc dismal consequences of these heather
revivals of the alteration of lust and freethought
on the irreligious masses of our country.

Mr.. Gault, "by generations yet to come"

after death or for the safety of his soul, he
will not likely be much concerned about what "gen-

This is one reason for the numerical smallness and

1t is also the cause of the mad individual rush
