Cutting down expenses Isn't easy-no; Not if We are simply

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

From the New York Press.
 It's not so very dangerous to propose to a girl unless you are single.
 A mans idea of showing good manners is to somebody who is richer than he is. A woman can have lot more fun plan ming a trip with her husband than he will ever let her have taking 1t.
 After hats and clothes spring is the most poetic to a girl because it will soon be the hammock season.
 The reason children can believe in fairy stories is they aren't half as big lies as they hear told ct the dinner table.

 And let none shake his trust, A nations love has reared tomb

A PEST. The linger-long brother Delights to take chair And while you breathe invective And wish he were not there, He says, T have a good one You'd like to hear, I know" And then he tells a story You heard ten years ago. The linger-long brother Picks out your busy day To come and let you study His fascinating way. A vile cigar he's puffing- The smoke blows in your facef To murder such a nuisance Would be a deed of grace. The linger-long brother Has lots of time to kill And makes you an accomplice, Though much against your will. Some say he should be punished Just how I do not know, But to his execution

SMALLPOX SPREADING IN
SALT LAKE.

For the week ending last Saturday,
Is new cases OF smallpox and new
cases of diphtheria, in addition to 10
cases OF scarlet fever. were reported
In Salt Lake. The Republican oil
that city had complained that disease
was spreading like plague. and the
next day one OF the employees Of the
Republican was discovered to be af-
nIcted with smallpox. This is either
evidence that the Republican told the
truth or that the paper has been pun
ished for malicious Misrepresentation.
All accounts agree that there are
twenty-four houses under quarantine
for smallpox in Salt Lake and that
the disease is quite beyond the con-
troll OF the health authorities. Salt
Lake must begin to check Its small
pox epidemic or the city will be quar-
antined by other cities.

a WARNING TO ALL POETS.

In dread that some one with poetry
IN his make up will sharpen q pencil
and write column OF two OF rhymes
on June for this paper, we here"itn
anticipate the conspirator by repro
duclng part of Lowell's vision Oh
Sir Launfall:"
"And what is SO rare as a day In
June?
Then II ever come perfect days;
Then heaven tries the eartn, II 1t be
In tune,
And over 1t softly her warm ear lays
Whether we look, or whether we
listen,
We hear life murmur, or see IL giisteh'
Every clod feels a stir of might,
An impulse within 1t that reaches
and towers.
And. cropping blindly above 1t for lieht,
Climbs to soul in the grass and
flowers.
soThe touch OF life may well be seen
Thrilling back DER hills and valleys,
And there's never a leaf nor a blade

To be some happy creatures palace
The little bird sits at his door in the

Atilt like blossom among the
leaves,
And lets 1is illumined being o'errun
With the deluge Of summer that 1t

His mate feels the warm eggs be-
pnofb her wings
And the heart In her dumb breast
flutters and sings.
He sings to the wide world and she
to her nest
In the nice ear of nature, which song
is the best?
These lines, SO often quoted. should
make the poetaster keep his place
and save the newspapers from world
OF worry, for Lowell has said all there
Is to be said on June, and he has
framed his thoughts in sweeter words
than the ordinary mortal of poetical
promptings can hope to command,
June Is the time of year when ma
ture sounds an awakening. There is
restless desire to be astir, and the
fellow who has a flow Of music In
his soul is inclined TO inflict that
music on mis- neighbors II he is
not forestalled. Hence our excuse
for repeating. "And what is so rare
as day in June?"

AMERICAS GREAT RAILROAD
DEVELOPMENT.

Statistics concerning railroads re-
Gently issued by the Prussian minis
try OF public works, are condensed
by the Railroad Age Gazette. The
statistics are compiled for the year
1907. 1t appears by the statistics that
in Europe there are 199,3S5 miles of
railroad. as compared with 26S,05S in
North America The old world Of Eu-
rope, Asia and Africa has. collectively
271,19S miles Of railroad, as compared
with the new worlds railroad mileage
OF 32O,G69.
AS the figures state, North America
has "a per cent more miles of railroad
than has Europe and nearly as much
as the whole Of the old world. During
the year 1907 Europe increased its
railroad mileage 2,917 miles, while
North America increased by 1857
miles. The greater portion of the new
mileage in Europe was laid in Russia,
l,625. France followed with 431 miles
and Germany came next with AL
miles. Russia will probably continue
to do far more railroad building for
several years to come than any other
European country, because Russia has
the greatest area Of territory and has
Jagged behind for many years In the
development of It's Interior transpor-
tation facilities.
The growth OF railroads in Asia is
notable. reaching 1923 miles, and it
is the opinion Of the statisticians that
this growth will continue, particularly
in China. The Chinese are awaken
ing to the necessity OF railroad con-
struction. and with their newly devel-
oped spirit they are insisting on do

have been paying bounties on import
cd sparrows' eggs. The ubiquitous

eggs somewhat freely OF late Some

tor as II they had come from San

Inquiry disclosed that the boys OF
adjoining counties have been collect
ing bounties from the charitable Salt
Lake county government. The COM
missioners have therefore decided that
unless Davis, Utah and Tooele coun-
ties join in the paying of bounties they
will revoke the bounties in this coun.
ty. The law makes 1t optional with
commissioners to pay them. and the
adjoining counties have not made any
provision for such payments
It was also decided that the eggs will
only be received and the bounties paid
at the sheriff's office from 2 to 8
o'clock on Saturday afternoon.
The commissioners approved plats

accusations, to determine how much
of truth there ia in these scandals.
Young people in a reformatory OF
industrial school cannot be reformed
by brutal treatment, and the authors
of the law providing for an Industrial
school in Utah never intended to turn
children over to master to be lashed
where their screams might be smoth-
cred by the walls OF prison. That
would have been step backward
back to barbarous cruelty.
The women have started this inves-
tigation. They should pursue the
same until the truth is disclosed. They
should not resolve to oust Supt. Fl. H.
Thomas; rather. they should resolve
to know the whole truth.

A SURPRISE AWAITS JAPAN'S
NEXT ENEMY.
(Morping EXaminer)


When the Japanese were ready
they made war on Russia. They had
planned for ten years or more to sur
prise the soldiers Of the czar, and they
opened the conflict by sneaking into
Port Arthur and then declaring that
a condition of war existed by blowing
up battleship or two, That is old
history now, but 1t Is brought to mind
by the story which comes from Japan
that the Japanese have airships of
their own which they are perfecting
without the knowledge Of the outside
world. They have monsters OF the
air which Will transport powerful
guns and a small army Of soldiers.
They are conducting their experiments
In secret so that when the army Of
the mikado Is ordered to act against
an enemy these appliances Will enter
into the struggle as a wholly uneX-
pected resource of the Rising Sun.
When the Japanese in the Hawaiian
islands decide to overthrow the gov
ernment and pull down the Stars and
Stripes, or when the overt acts Of
mobs on the Pacific coast force that
island empire to uphold the dignity
ing Of Its subjects, the clever little
brown men will have a feet Of war
ships off the Pacific coast, on board
Of which Will be airships and aero
planes to be released against the
frowning forts at San Francisco, and
when the ships are in the air. about to
drop high explosives, a cable message
will be received through some foreign
embassy, notifying Washington that
at that moment the Japanese are rain
ing down nitro-glycerine or some other
explosive onto defenseless San Fran
ciScanS.
The Japanese are the most danger
GUS enemy country can have, for
their real strength and, furthermore,
their real intent as to peace or war
can not be gauged. They possess an
excluslveness impenetrable, as was
demonstrated In their conflict with
the Russians. News from Japan on
the progress Of the war or the plans
Of campaign was old news during the
entire war. filtering through from the
front days after the movements had
been detailed or foreshadowed by tho
foreign correspondents with Kuropat-
kin.
When Japan discovers a weapon OF
war superior to that OF the weapons
OF other powers, that discovery is
buried in the inner recesses of the
intelligence of the empire, to be
brought forth when the emergency
emands. but TO inventions of all othe
demands, but the inventions Of all
other nations are advertised to the
world, either through public channels
or the penetrating ability of those set
aside for that purpose by other gov
ernments. When France llad per-
fected a field gun Of quick action and
rapid placement the reports had
scarcely reached the archives Of the
artillery arm OF the French govern.
ment when the secret was the prop
erty of Frances most hated and feared
enemy, Germany. But neither France
nor Germany can peer into the mys-
teries OF the extent OF Japan's pre-
paIedness for war, so perfect is the
veil that screens Japan's army from
the gaze Of inquisitive foreign eyes.
