RARBARIC DOCTRINE.

The general assembly Of the South
ern Presbyterian church is struggling
with the doctrine Of infant damnation.
For years there has been a loud AMI
insistent demand that the confession
of faith be revised and the church put
right upon the question.
Probably none Of the delegates to
the assembly, ministerial or lay, be-
lieves that any infants dying in in
fancy are lost. yet they hesitate to
revise a clause in the confession Of
faith, because it has stood for two
centuries and a half
The monstrous doctrine ceased to
be taught long before the close Of the
nineteenth century, though some Of
the blue lights doubtless believed It
A man who would advocate it today
would be hooted from the pulpit The
Southern Presbyterians are behind the
times.

PLEA OF BROWNE.

According to the attorney engaged
in defending Lee O'Nen Browne, the
Democratic leader who is or trial on
a charge Of having brfbed certain
members of his party to vote for Lori
mer for United States senator, no
crime was committed even If the
charge proves true.
The attorney claims that there is
no Illinois statute covering the cleo
ton Of senator, and that, consequent
Iy, Browne should go free The law
of Illinois would be exceedingly lame
If the members of the state legisla-
ture could be bribed for any purpose
whatsoever without fear Of punish
ment for any of the parties concerned.
Many scandaIous things concerning
city councils and state legislatures
have been brought to light in the last
few months, and many men have I'M
blushingly come into court and ad-
mitted betraying the interests Of the
people Of city and state for money.
Bribery has been common, very COM
mon.
The Illinois lawyer reached the CHI
max, however, when he affronted the
people Of Illinois and outraged every
sense of decency and justice by claim
ing that bribery is no crime in one of
the greatest states Of the Union.

roes are invariably of common birth.
The rise of Paulhan is case in point
He learned mathematics at a mechan-
les institute and how to apply them
in a smithy, then in the engine room
of a man-of-war, and after that as a
mechanic in a factory of motor ma
chinery. This brought him into tourh
with Captain Renaud at the Meudon
government factory for steerable ball
looms Working some time with him,
he found that to marry he must earn
higher wages, and became a chauffeur
at great auto races
Finally Paulhan began the conquest
of the air, and achieved worldwide

most French statesmen, gained a live

VICE PRESIDENTS WARNING.

Vice President Sherman is
staunch believer in protection as a
means Of insuring prosperity, giving
the business man, the farmer and the
workingman equal opportunity to
thrive The vice president upholds
the tariff law enacted at the special
session Of Congress. At the same
time he does not care to see any fur
Their downward revision.
In a recent speech at Kalamazoo,
Mich, Mr.. Sherman vigorously de-
Tended President Taft and the Repub-
Hcan party. He also sounded the fol-
lowing note Of warning:
I am not an aIarmist; advocate Civ
ing the new law a thorough trial,
but / submit the question wheth-'
er or not we have not gone far
enough, possibly too far, in down
ward revision if we are TO con-
tinue TO give adequate and neces-
sary protection to our own pro-
ducers.
It would be well IL the free trade
advocates would take into considera-
ton the fact that owing to excessive
importations the balance of trade is
going against us. Vice President
Sherman clearly sees that the work
ingmen and the manufacturers can
not thrive If unlimited quantities of
goods manufactured abroad are al
lowed to flood the markets Of this
country. To a limited extent this has
already happened 4 further reduc-
ton would be fatal.
The warning Of the vice president
is timely, and should be needed by
those who have not Investigated the
question for themselves.

MEMORIAL DAY.

With rapidly thinning ranks the
remnant of the gallant host that went
forth to battle half a century ago Will
assemble on Monday next to honor
the memory of their departed COM
rades. No ceremony is more tenderly
solemn; no services better calculated
to inculcate the lesson Of patriotism.
The sight of the grizzled veterans,
bowed down with the weight of years,
marching to the cemeteries to deco
rate the graves Of their dead is soul
inspiring The custom is a beautiful
one. and brings home to the rising
generation the thought that they
never die who perish in a great
cause
Memorial day has been set apart
for the Grand Army of the Republic.
Let US honor the occasion in a be-
fitting manner, and join the surviving
heroes of the greatest struggle In
modern times with crowns Of laurel
and wreaths of flowers.

DILEMMA OF AIAGNATEs.

1t is a condition and not a theory
that is confronting the railway mag
mates these days. In order to make
the increased freight rates stick, they
must put up poor mouth and show
that such action is necessary to keep
the stockholders out of the almshouse
On the other hand, most of the
great railroad systems have big blocks
of bonds to be placed in the hands Of
investors, and in order to dispose of
these securities it is necessary to show
that the roads were never in so pros
porous a condition as at the present
time.
Anyone who can Juggle the two
statements and make them both win
is entitled to the presidency Of almost
any big railroad company he can
name.

PUT A STOP TO TT.

Reckless automobile driving is re-
sponsible for the death Of another
resident of Salt Lake. VIII such
tragedies never cease?
The deplorable accident at the cor
ner or Fifth East and Seventh South
streets is only one of number of like
horrors Is there no way TO put a
stop to them?
These questions can best be an
swered by the city authorities who are
supposed to be interested in the pro-
lection of life as well as property.
Drastic action should have been taken
some time ago, when the racing and
chasing up and down the streets be-
gan. 1t has become imperative at
this time
1t is realized that the passing Of
laws or city ordinances will not pre-
vent all these accidents; that some
automobile drivers will get all the
speed they can out of their machines
and take the chances of killing some
one while so doing. These persons
can be arrested and fined for exceed
ing the speed limit, however, and in
the case of a second ofense the fine
can be made large enough to hurt
But there is one phase Of the auto
mobile question deserving Of the most
careful consideration upon the part of
the authorities. In this city girls and
boys, immature youths and women
are often seen at the wheel as the
machines go rushing by.
The Herald-Republican believes
that none but experienced chauffeurs,
or at least men Of mature years,
should be allowed to gauge the speed
of automobiles. Otherwise the dan
ger of death is ever present.
In order to become the engineer of
e passenger train it is necessary that
q man should have years Of expert
ence and not be one who INDUCES in
intoxicants, and the railroad trains
run OF we'll kept tracks.
With automobiles it is different.
Every Tom, Dick and Harry. in any
and ali stages of inebriety, is allowed
to pilot the machines through the
crowded public streets. There should
be a limit to these performances.
It has been proposed that each and
every automobile driver be compelled
to undergo an examination and re-
CURED to take out a license before
being allowed to operate the ma
chimes. Whether that plan will have
70 be followed in Salt Lake is a ques-
ton for the future:
But one fact stands out in bold re-
lief Life is not safe in the streets of
this city, and it is necessary that some
action should be taken in the matter.
The blood of. the victims cries out
from the ground. Unless the admin
istratiOn of the law is a joke, those in
authority viii give heed.

ssUTAH DAY"

The publicity bureau of the Com
merciaI club has evolved plan by
which it is hoped to increase the pros
perity Of the rural communities. It
Is proposed to set apart one certain
day upon which the citizens Of Salt
Lake and the people of the entire
state, If the latter can be induced to
join in, shall confine their food strict
ly 10 home products.
The plan can easily be carried into
effect, for Utah raises everything in
the fruit and vegetable line that can
be grown anywhere else under similar
climatic conditions, and the products
are generally of better quality at that
In the case of beef and mutton,
there is also an adequate supply.
There never was any sense in shipping
cattle and sheep to the eastern pack
ing centers and then having the meat
shipped back to US. the freight both
ways being added to the cost, and an
inferior article furnished. So we have
fruit and vegetables and beef and
mutton for a starter on Utah day
The butter and egg proposition is
somewhat different We import large
quantities of both, because the home
supply has proved inadequate in the
rast. There is no reason why this
should be so, and it is the plan of the
Commercial club to remedy the mat
ter so far as possible.
The same is true Of poultry. The

Thousands of colonists have come
into the west and northwest this
spring, and Utah has not been getting
her share Of them, according to fig

published by the New York Herald.
Between March 1 and April Is the

This compares with 49, 47 for a pc

PROTEST PROBABLY IN VAIN.

The preliminary bout has been
staged In San Francisco. It is a con-
test between the Ministerial associa-
ton and the prize fight promoters,
and will go the limit. No gloves are
used.
Tt is the intention of the Christian
people Of California to prevent the
Jeffries-Johnson contest on the Fourth
of July if the state and county off,
Gals can be induced to enforce the
law, which is more than doubtful at
the outset.
While this battle is going on the
Presbyterian general assembly has
SHE'D its castor into the ring and
called upon the members of the
church throughout the country to rise
up and protest against the champion
ship fight.
Prize fighting has been on the wane
for several years past. The revival of
interest is owing to the fact that a
negro of more than ordinary ability
as a fighter is champion of the world,
with only one possible rival for the
honor, Jeffries, the indicated former
champion.
Most men agree that the prize ring
is brutal and degrading, yet SO per
cent Of them would travel far and pay
dearly to see this fight of fights pulled
off. It's sort of fever in the blood.
The Ministerial association of San
Francisco and the Presbyterian as
sembly are right in their conclusions
and their arguments cannot be re-
futed. Nevertheless, the chances are
100 to 1 that the California authori-
ties won't interfere, and that the fight
will take place as scheduled.

The table shows a decrease in the
number of people coming into Utah,
Montana, Nevada, Colorado and Wyo-
ming, all other states gaining.
Such being the case. the publicity
movement of the Salt Lake CONNER
cial club was not undertaken any too
soon. The citizens of other western
and southern states have been work
ing along the same lines for some
time past.
In Wisconsin the state government
is making a systematic campaign of
advertising of the opportunities IN
that commonwealth.
In Minnesota Governor A o. Eber-
hardt is taking an active lead in the
land propaganda.
The Arkansas legislature has ap-
propriated $4,000 to set forth to the
world what that state has to offer in
an agricultural way. Another $4,000
has been contributed by delegates to
a land congress held at Little Rock
in March.
The boards of trade and the COM
rnercial clubs of Spokane, Seattle,
Portland and the other cities Of the
west and northwest are in the field
with their advertising matter, and
the home-seeker and capitalist will go
where the best inducements are Of
fered.
There is an unprecedented move
ment from east to west at the present
time. Now that Utah no longer hides
its light under a bushel, this common
wealth should be in the race from
this time on.

knowledge Is Power.

| While it is an undeniabe fact that
knowledge is power, and the man who
thinks that just because he may be
little better informed than his fell
lows. he should have everything ac-
cOrding to his own notion, is in q fair
way to find for himself no end Of tr0u-
| BILE.
1t is common thing for people who
have a little information-quite a lot
of information as compared with that
possessed by many of their associates:
but still very little information COM
pared with what is to be known--to feel
that they are warranted in assuming
undue arrogance and in shaping mat
ters just as they please, and for such
people to learn that they have things
all wrong is often very difficult.
Knowledge is indeed more to be de-
sired than wealth, than much fine gold
and all that: but this does not mean
that the possessor of knowledge is JUS
titled in assuming too much arrogance.
AS a matter of fact the possessOr Of
real knowledge will do no such thing.
On the contrary such q man shows by
his conduct to his daily associates that
the very best evidence Of the genuine
ness of his claims to knowledge, or
rather the claims of others that he is
possessed of knowledge is unaffected
humility of demeanor toward his fell
lowmen, including even those who are
not supposed to have opportunity for
intellectual development.
Men of the widest and ripest OBJ
servation are generally aware that the
soundest and deepest wisdom as to all
matters of every day life are often found
in places that they, themselves, when
younger, would have never suspected.
And men who merely think they are
wise, most generally stand in their
own light by contemptuouS treatment
of possible sources Of information from
which they feel assured beforehand
that they can draw nothing Of value.
1t is not to be understood by any of
the foregoing that men who know are
to sit supinely by and let ignorance
have full sway. and there need be no
fear of anything of the kind. Just as
it is true that knowledge is power. it
is also true that intelligence will rule.
Intelligence will rule: but it will do
it in an intelligent way. That is. it
will establish it's supremacy through
reason rather than by force 1t will
not seek to anger shame or humiliate
those to whom it must look for assist
ance, and it will not seek any other
carriage than truth as the vehicle of
its mower.

THE COM EFT.

The comet which is now leaving the
sun and away on its long outward trip
is now to be seen in the west shortly
after sundown on clear nights. and will
continue in view for some weeks
The departing celestial visitor was
an object of much interest to tnou-
sands of people throughout this local
ity Saturday night. 1t was not to
be seen Friday night on account OF
the veil OF clouds over the horizon;
but Saturday night was clear. and
from about to 10 o'clock, people
surveyed the strange spectacle with
much interest.
Although the outline Of the comet
was unmistakable, 1t was just a little
disappointing in that it was less bril-
liant than was expected. The mead
seemed to be swaddled in a blur and
the tail, though of magnificent proper
tions, was outlined only in a great
shadow. This is believed to be because
of the light of the moon, which was
very strong.
The experts tell us that although the
comet is now leaving at a tremendous
rate, when the moon gets out of the
way, the fiery tail will be seen in great
brilliance.

The School Teacher.

There are teachers and teachers, and
if the writer felt himself competent and
was a good deal braver than he is. he
would undertake to discuss them
from all standpOints: but as such a
task would involve more wisdom than
one man could be expected To have, and
courage enough to suffice for crack
regiment. ii will be assumed for the
purpose of these remarks that there
is only one kind of teacher, and he is
the one who measures up to every rea-
sonable qualification.
OF all the public servants who nave
the hardest rows to hoe in this world.
including the country preacher, the
country editor, and the country school
teacher. the country school teacher
probably runs afOul of the most briarS
and thistles, and gets more unfriendly
criticism and less sympathy from those
among whom and for whom he labors.
The ideal school teacher is Il jewel
among men, or if she be of the other
sex, jewel among women. The pr
mess: to understand the things he is
to teach: to recognize the value of
thoroughnesS; to compel obedience: to
be strong enough or diplomatic enough
to overcome unreasonable stubborn
ness in parents as well as i'm children.
Somebody has said tnat men and
women are only children grown up. In
sense, the truth of that is so obvious
that il does not necessarily suggest
much. wisdom; but the saying was to
suggest the idea that the same unrea-
SOnableneSS, the same lack of wisdom.
the same egotism, the same willfulneSs,
that is 50 characteristic Of many chill
drcn continues to exist in grown ups,
and most experienced teachers have
observed that the parents who are able
to pride themselves on having been to
school through college. give more trou-
bic generally than the parents who
have had no educational opportunities
whatever. They know how they want
ii done, but they are unable to apprc-
ciate the fact that no one else. other
than themselves is capable of doing
things exactly in accordance with their
own notion.
All these things the teacher has to
contend with. and the more thorough
ly he understands and accOmpliShes
his work. the stronger and more unreal
! sonable the opposition he must en-
| counter The endeavOr to placate that
opposition by yielding to it, necessarily
destroys tn" efficiency of the teaching
as well Us the usefulness of the teach
| er, and of course, the really competent
| teacher will do nothing of the kind
