She went upstairs languidly.
Martin Hodge, entering his room
at eleven o'clock that night, found
many notes and cards there, by way
OF congratulating him on his nomi-
nation, but he forgot to look at them;
there was nameless bunch of vio-
lets there too.
Nv.
The weeks going on, and the cleo
ton approaching, there joined the
ranks of Martin Hodge and Heating
all that which marked the new in the
first congressional district The new
is stern, sometimes trife coarse;
it is accustomed to make things with
it's hands. 1t is the product of the
spirit of manufacture. Martin Hodge
was unquestionably master of that
party, who, taking a cue from Keat-
ing, called themselves ''The Chumps."
Judge Hayden, allied with the
high OF yesterday, whose spirit still
Informed the high of today, was a
product of that cultured element of
the life which, brought out of the
East, cleared the wilderness and
made the land TEEN and, resting from
labor In the days before the manu-
featuring began, took out the culture
and polished it up again.
The situation burst on Heating
with a pang. He stared at Hodge,
Hodge for whom he was wearing the
soul out of him, but with whom he
must inevitably rise. The thing was
plain, the result indubitable. If
Hodge won, Hayden must fall. He
wondered what Martin thought,
stalking yonder, his jaws set, his
eyes calm, his mind uncomplicated.
The Chump had not turned pale
when the knowledge came to him.
He had not smiled. He hand not
shrunk or leaped forward. He had
just gone on. He had become some
thing of speaker and with Heating
stumped the district. His eloquence,
If such it could be called, was a
sort of a staccato of ideas, each pro-
PEELED at his hearers and brought
down upon them as though it were
some blow
Late in the summer it began to
be apparent that Hodge could win.
Unless some sudden change in public
opinion should occur the election
would mean the fall of Hayden.
At last, when the lever was beyond
all doubt in Hodges grip, there came
a night when Heating received a
shock. He was in Martins store,
when The Chump suddenly came in.
There was something in the latter's
manner which made Heating afraid.
Where are you going?" asked he,
not knowing why he felt angry.
ITO Judge Hayden's," said Hodge.
The ground seemed to be wavering
under Heating. 1t was surely Joke
He went to the door and saw the back
of Martin yonder where The Chump
strobe toward Hayden's house. Keat-
ing went into the store again little
dizzy. He could not believe! He

TAR IN THE JOINTS.

Il is perfectly clear now why the
board of works wanted Pat Moran to
leave expansion joints between the
pavement. and the curb. The board
puts tar in the spaces. and the small
boys dig out the tar and have fun
with it.
Which makes the board solid with
the boys. OF course when a little fell
low goes home with tar in his hair
where he has been adorned in the
process of becoming an Indian. and be-
ing iariated and shot by his Buffalo
Bill companions his mother does not
take the boy view of expansion joints.
She may enter measurably into the
joys and sorrows of her offspring. But
she doesn't care to have him supplied
with tar by the board of works. And
if she could have her way I'm the mat
ter she would poke the board I'm the
expansion joints, and keep them there
till all the tar had vanished.
Also, a boy never takes Just the view
of his mother. To him the board of
works is a philanthropist. Gentleman
Bountiful. And the little fellows are
hunting all over town withssharp sticks
for some expansion joint not yet dis
covered by other urchins And when
they succeed in making a find they
chew what they can. and save the rest
to have fun when school opens.

DANGER IN THE DANGER
MARK"

Doubtless very many readers of The
Republican are reading the
Chambers serial story entitled The
Danger Mark" now running i'm the
Saturday Evening Post. It is very
impressive story. Evidently it is writ
ten by one who knows his subject very
thoroughly It deals with the lives Of
the very rich, and presents them and
their affairs in a light not at all COM
plimentary. Above all it shows the
system Of American aristocracy a very
bad one for the young man and young
woman. If Mr.. Chambers is as true
in his facts as he is in his art-and
he seems to belt were easier for a
camel to pass through the eve or a
needle than for a good girl to be found
past the age of twenty in the upper
circles of Atlantic seaboard society.
So that some several gentlemen have
thought they saw themselves and their
families pictured in the rather graphic
sentences of Mr.. Chambers. And they
propose to enjoin the Post from print
ing any more installments of the story.
and also hold publisher and author re-
sponsible in damages for libel.
And that appears to be the real dan
ger mark. No man of Mr.. Chambers
standing would paint close to living
unless he had the facts with
which to defend himself And no paper
of the standing and financial rasnovsf
bility of the Post would print libel.
In the trial Of any libel case the facts

and the publisher. And it would be

phasizing Irrigation engineering. as
mat IS certain to be an important pro-
tession in this section of the country.
Their region needs irrigation more
than it needs an answer to the Sphinx.
Il will be worth more to Wyoming-and
through those people, to all the world
for its young men to be good engineers
than to conceive a new nebular hvpo-
thesis. They would be very proud Of
broadly and thoroughly educated men.
But for some hundreds of years Wyom-
ing viii be better for men and women
who can meet the demands of actual
life than for any other sort.
And that is true of Utah, as well Our
people, in every part of the state, are
proud of the work of the Agricultural
college. They know it is helping u
reclaim, the desert, to bridge the
streams, TO conserve the forces of ma
ture. and turn them into strength and
beauty for the sons of men. Our people
are proud of the State university be-
cause the main effort there is directed
along practical lines. What is best
worth while in other courses is cared
for-splendidly. But the young men
are more devoted to work that will
make their wage value higher than to
the potter studies.
When all the desert has been re-
claimed, when all the streams have
been harnessed, so that not an impulse
of their strength nor a suggestion of
their moisture is wasted; when the
mountains shall have completed their
final contribution to the Golfers of man,
and the earth has learned to yield the
maximum Of its fruits and flowers and
grain-then the fancy studies of the
cloister age may be encouraged again.
But for the present-and for some
hundreds OF years to come-practical
training will be best for the student
and for everyone else.

BUT 1T DOES MAKE
A DIFFERENCE.

In recent issue of the Eastern Utah
Advocate, Editor Crockett spoke of the
building of a new line of railroad to
some coal mines in the neighborhood
of Price, and added: who cares how
the title to a few hundred or a few
thousand acres of coal land was ac-
quired?' OF course, Mr.. Crockett does
care a great deal how title to any land
is acquired He would be one of the
last men to defend taking it wrong
fully.
But the point is that he wants the
coal land to be developed And SO does
every one else. Coal when digged from
the ground is not annihiiated. It is
burned-and in the burning something
useful to mankind is done. It may be
used as fuel for railroad trains. It may
be used in factories. It may be en-
ployed in warming some mans home,
or IN cooking the food for labor. Wher-
ever and however it is used. the human
race. in some part, is served in the
using.
And to that extent Mr.. Crockett but
advances the view of all men. The coal
land should be not only in possession,
but It should be worked It's treasure
should be added to the sum total Of
mankinds wealth That can never be
the case when the land remains unused,
the resources undeveloped.
To let it lie. refusing title to anyone,
will not serve the interests of the world
after awhile any better than 1t viii now.
It's using will be helpful, whenever the
date. So that, Of course 1t looks good
to the people of Carbon county to see
a new railroad built to the new coal
lands. And It would be a good thing
for Utah if every coal mine in the state
we're being worked. And every iron
mine. and every piece of land and
mountain which has silver. or copper,
or anything else Of value to man. And
the same is true Of the streams.
They don't do any good lying there
in idleness. The sooner they are dragged
from their long rest and made to serve
the needs Of the race. the better for the
race.
And it Doesn't make a whit Of DIFF
ference to the coal.

HE NEW EDUCATION.

a mastery of Greek and Latin; to learn
how to puzzle out problems in higher
mathematics-prob which no busy
man in the world ever used.

A NATIONAL FAIR AT sALrLAKE.

Most wise men declared the Alaska
Faclfic-Yukon exposition could not be
success. They could prove it from
the time it was first suggested. And
they did prove ton paper.
But there has never been a more sue
cessful fair in this country. People
from all over the world have made it
d point to go to that exposition. even
u they never went to another. The
trains ON all railroads are loaded with
people going TO Seattle or people who
have been there and are going delighted
away. And they are not so much de-
lighted with the getting away as with
the excellent and instructive time they
have had there
The Herald Republican believes there
can be held a successful national fair
in Salt Lake. There is no city in the
world so well advertised as this. There
is no city on the continent which SO
many people want to visit. The
advertisement is already largely ac-
complished. With a we'll managed fair,
such as that at Seattle has proven to
be, Salt Lake could bring a million
visitors in one season.
Those visitors would have a good
time, because they could be shown
many things quite new to them. They
would help the people here, because
some of them would do just what hun
dreds of men are doing up north-they
would invest money in city or in state.
No man can calculate the volume of
dollars that have been added to the
permanent wealth of the state of Wash
ington because of the fair at Seattle.
What has been done there can be
better done here. It needs but the
united cooperation of our people. There
viii never be a better time than now
to begin. The government viii doubt
less hep. Statesmen from the west
find the fair is a good thing for their
region. Guardians of the treasury find
it is a safe thing for the nation to help
finance. And the city where a big fair
is held finds it a very great benefit in
increased population, and multiplied
capital
Five men could start a national fair
in Salt Lake. They could start it to-
day. And it would be a success.

HIGH SCHOOL FRATERNITIEs.

Shall the schoolboy belong to a fra
ternity?
Shall the schoolgirl belong to a
sorority?
These questions are being discussed
in many cities just now-when the be-
ginning of the school year draws close.
In Salt Lake public schools, including
the high school, the position of the
authorities is very clear. The answer
to both questions is decided negative.
1t is found better for the pupil-better
for the success of his school work-to
forbid the presence of fraternities in the
field.
An eastern paper makes thie CON-
ment on the subject:
Every well-wisher of Chicago schoc )
viii heartily support the school boal !
in its war on fraternities and sororities.
The idea of young girls and boys set
ting up social distinctions in public
schools paid for by the taxpayers is
tommyrOt.

trudes and Psrcivals to rank in a class

LORD sEREsFoRD's WIT.

The Emerald isle is proud OF Charlie
BeresfOrd and Charlie is proud of his
native land and countrymen. ''Irishmen
may have their faults" he says, but give
me an Irishman-the best fellow that ever
was. Could anybody tell more stories
than the Irish?
One of the best stories he ever heard
was about a fellow who was very fond
of shooting. He said: THE first bird
I ever shot was a squirrel. and the first
time I hit him I missed him altogether
and the next time I hit him I hit him
in the same place, and after that I took
a stone and dropped him from the tree
and he fell into the water and was shot
and that was the first bird 7 ever shot.
And Lord Charlie is never tired of quot
ing the story of the Irish member of tn
House OF Commons who compared a GER
tain whisky to a "torchlight procession
trickling down his throat.
