WHEN is A TITLE?

If the only bone of contention be-
tween Mr.. Pinchot and Mr.. BaIlinger is
found IN Pinchot wanting the govern
ment to reserve the right TO mineral in
land even If discovered after patent has
issued, and Ballinger holds that the
patent should settle title once for all,
then they might as we'll quit quar-
relling. The people will be with Bal
Iinger.
1t is one Of the first principles of land
law that the owner in fee is entitled to
an within his boundaries, from the
center of the earth clear up to the sky.
He doesn't own a scum over the top of
his farm. He owns his farm. He can
dig down in that ground. or build up
on top of that ground-and there is no
one in all the world to say him nay. The
doctrine that after he has received his
patent, has become possessed of his
land. has improved it and worked it and
lived on it for years he still is not
owner Of any minerals that may be
found beneath the surface-that is a
theory which will never, never. never do.
Let all possible investigation be made
before title passes from government 20
the citizen. Generally, the presence of
the mineral below ground can be dis
covered, but not always If it can be
ascertained in any way, before-not
after-issuing the patent is the time to
find out. If it cannot be found then.
and the citizen receives his warranty
deed TO the place, he ought to have it
with all it holds. If there is a gold mine
down beneath his cellar, so much the
better for him
1t never will do TO cloud the title Of
land owners with a sleeping right Of
government or any one else to come in
and take a portion of that land or any,
thing in it,
Unless Mr.. Pinchot has something
better than that with which to over
throw Ballinger, the secretary of the
interior is safe in the approval of the
whole American people.

FOLLY OF POISONED CANDY

II Will be difficult to convince the peo-
pie of this state that the manufacturers
Of candy are selling poisoned goods. If
there is one thing which is good and
harmless, it is the candy that is made
in Utah. If there is one thing which
has to be "doctored' to make it in
furious to health, it is the common
candy Of local manufacture.
The charge that any person was
killed by eating the candy of Utah-bv
ttself-is absurd. Possibly poison couId
be put into the candy after it left the
factory, after it had been sold at the
store. But that could be done with a
biscuit. or spoonful of shrimp salad
or thimbIeful of beer.
Utah people are a little proud of their
candy. There is an industry which has
made some men rich. and a lot of wom-
en- happy 1t may add something tn the
income of dentists, but teeth will decay
even in the mouths of people who never
know chocolates. 1t is an industry
which consumes great quantities of
Utah sugar. and it is fast crowdins
competing candies out of the big cities
Of the Union
II Ism poisoned unless the people who
buy it at the stores add the noison
themselves. And man mean enoupb
TO spoil good candy ought to plead
guilty TO any charge his discoveries
can bring against him.

WHAT GOOD is THE FIGHT?

Every man who wants TO be Well in
formed should read the full report Of
the prize fight between Nelson and VOL
CAST on February twenty-second. Not
that it makes pleasant reading. but on
the same principle that doctors abili-
" to heal the sick depends upon his
realization of how bad and undesirable
as the sickness.
For more than an hour Of actual
fighting, not counting the forty minutes
divided into forty rests of one minute
each, two healthy and presumably sane
men slugged each other, each inf1icting
on the other all the bodily injury he
possibly could. Ten thousand people
paid from two to twenty dollars each to
see the fight. The participants went

injured. One viii wear black eyes for

MUSCLE THAT is WORTH WHILE.

over at the Orpheum this week are
four young men under the name of
-Four Readings''-whose real names
may be reading. writing or spelling, for
all We know. And whether or not that
is their name, the Readings are pre-
senting the best exhibit of athletics that
even the Orpheum has shown. The act
is so worthy that it has impressed
thousands. It is not the "show" of
muscular development that amounts to
defOrmity. Those men-and the boy
could strip in any gym or bathroom
without exciting the least surprise.
There are lots of boys waiting on table.
or Whetting a BARRIERS razor, with big
ger muscles.
But the things which a man needs
muscle for-that is the muscle these
Readings have trained. OF course, they
are quick, and, of course, they are
clever. But the thing they add 10 the
total of useful information is the ex.
ample of human strength trained for
use.
1t is q perfect joy to see them and
their work. 1t has a tendency TO send
patrons to the physical instructor, and
to stimulate the self-training of the
body. 1t makes one realize the value of
perfect health, and of exercise, and Of
attaining the possible in strength and
agility.
That sort of exhibition is a help.

JOHN MEAKIN'S DISAPPoINT.

We don't know much about the case
of John P. Meakin and the T-pit,,

which properly could have been con-
ferred upon him was withheld on ac-
count Of his politics. or on account If

Because he has spoken good words
Oh every one. That is his religion. and

good words Of Utah. And a man who
always speaks well of Utah. and ra,ar
speaks i'll of Utah, and deals honestly
with all men, and harms nobody. and
lives uprightly-is fit to be minister in

1T is A CLEVER SAYING.

There is a tradition to the effect:
MANY true word is spoken in jest. -
Mrs. John Caine, at the breakfast of
the Ladies Literary club, uttered a
very clever saying-and was generous
enough to disclaim credit for its au-
thorship. She said that women have
been credited with having clean
thoughts, because they change their
minds so often.
Whistler said a bright thing, and a
companion at table, approaching its ex-
cellence. said:
Il wish l had said that"
''You will" said Whistler
Many Of US who have read Mrs.
Gaines bon mot will calmly appropriate
it in talks of the future. Because it
is so happily descriptive.
WOmens thoughts certainly are
cleaner than those of men; and maybe
the reason given is the right one. If
so, let no forbidding logic hamper the
change. Let the course of pure thought
flow unvexed by criticism.
The thing is founded in philosophy
Every change gives chance for better
ment. NeighbOrhOods which know no
change, communities whose annals
are tiresome," remember all the evils
that have passed-an accommodating
mass which stores the mind with moth
ing pleasant. 1t is better to change The
mind than TO poison it.
Women have the better way Their
minds are always full Of ever fresh ma
Cerial. And the bad has been forgotten.
We thank thee, lady, for that word.

THERE GOES ANOTHER IDOL.

Almost from the time Benjamin
Franklin abandoned Philadelphia for
the possibly better "house not made
with hands" the Pennsylvania Fenci-
bles have been regarded as the most
adorable thing in war. There was a mill
itary organization on which every
woman of the Keystone state banked
with ali her heart and soul. The uni
forms Of the Fencibles were just too
sweet for anything, and the walk of a
member under arms would have filled
the eye of old Won MOltke with admira-
ton.
But they couldn't fight. The mistake
the people of Philadelphia made was in
thinking the Fencibles could fence-or
charge bayOnet, or be real bloody. They
could do everything else required Of a
sOldier-march, present arms, stand
guard and make love. 1t was perfectly
understood that they We're organized to
defend their country, and were not sub
ject to being sent away from home.
Pennsylvania didn't want the Fencibles
sent into foreign parts. Pennsylvania
wanted them to stay there in the state
of Franklin, and of Valley Forge And
the Fencibles were willing to stay. They
were willing to drill, and stand guard
and present arms, and to fiirt. 1t was
rude and impolite for the distressed
city of Philadelphia to ask them to
suppress the mob. That was foreign
country, and they We're immune from
such an assignment
Those striking street car men didn't
care any more for the uniforms of the
Fencibies than they did for rainbows.
They didn't respect the guns-except as
so much spoils of war. They met the
F'encibles and crumpled them up. And
when the cruel war with the strikers is
over, the Fencibles will go out of bust
ness. They never can live after suffer
ing the indignity of having to fight
They viii teach Pennsylvania how to
appreciate merit by depriving the state
Of its ancient and honorable military
organization.
But what a splendid thing it would
have been for one or two or three of
those paper-cOllar soldiers to have gone
to the mat with some of the strikers,
How much better the strikers would
have respected them! How higher they
would have ranked in the estimation of
the world if they had simply made
their fight. no matter how muddy it
left them!
They had the chance to make the
women love them more than ever. And
by the reports there doesn't seem to
have been a hero among them.

AN INTERURsAN STATION.

Every day brings new reasons in
favor of a central station building for
electric cars in Salt Lake; and the Sc
lection Of the center of the block bound
ed by Second and Third South. Main
and West Temple gains-with reason
in the public favor.
In the first place, there should be a
central station. 1t viii be but a few
years until other interurban lines will
come into the city. While that to Sak-
air is the first country line now TO be
counted, it seems clear that the near
future viii add at least three electric
roads 10 the city's equipment. And the
interests of the travelling public demand
the establishment of a station. with all
a stations cOnveniences, in the very
heart of the city.
Probably Indiana provides the best
illustration in point. There is an inter-
urban station bringing business from
every part Of the state, and from which
the citizen can take car to almost any
town from Lake Michigan to the Ohio
river. And it is in the very heart of
the town. 1t is handsome building.
and offices in it are at a premium-just
because of the good location. That, of
course, is aside from the necessary Uses
of an interurban station. The point is
Success and popular Endorsement ap-
prove the central location, AND THE

Salt Lake is getting to be a big city.

who patronize the Saltair cars every
summer. 1t will feel the need many
times more when other lines are buiIded

What is the good of it? What is the
good of the training to which both de-
voted themselves for a month before

money each paid for trainers and rub
bers and doctors and quarters and
boosters?
Mankind now knows that Wolgast
can lick Nelson-or could on Tuesday.
But is that information worth what ii
costs in the vital part of what mankind
pays for it?

THERE is NO MONEY TO WASTE.

Once more The Herald-R Republican
desires TO commend the old Twelfth
ward school ground as an admirable To-
cation for the new East Side high
school building. The school corporation
owns ten rods fronting on East First
South street, just east of Fourth East,
and running south twenty rods. 1t may
not be enough for all requirements of
the school, but there are in many cities
bigger high schools than Salt Lake will
build, and they stand on less ground
than ten by twenty rods.
All that land belongs to the school
board now. No matter where the trustees
go, they viii not get a better location.
Located there. more than half the pu-
pills of the high school could walk. And
those who ride could have the advan-
tage of excellent transfer privileges.
In all human probability Salt Lake
will have to build another high school
within the next twenty years-maybe
sooner. That should be borne in mind,
because the history of this city in the
past ten years, the location and the
natural tendency-all favor the belief
in a very great increase of population.
When that time comes, the new high
school will have to be many blocks
south, and probably directly south.
But the big thing to remember is that
the schools own that ten by twenty rods
of ground in East First South street
The trustees will have about seven hun
bred thousand dollars with which to
build. They better build on that ground
without the purchase of an additional
foot than TO deplete their resources
when the children of the lower grades
are in so much need of school room and
school provision.
When Mr.. Christensen comes back
from his study Of high schools in east
ern cities, he will tell of big schools like
Wendell Phillips. in Chicago, which oc-
cupies less ground than this ten by
twenty rods on First South. And there
are no better high schools than Wen
dell Phillips. There is no campus, to be
sure; but the campus doesn't go with
the city high school these days. There
is a gymnasium, and all that sort OF
thing; but land in cities is admittedly
too costly to provide green fields and
running brooks, groves and outrageous
retreats for young men and young
women.
Especially when the smaller boys and
girls need so much that the trustees
cannot afford to give them
1t is reported that property owners
in various parts of the city indicate a
tendency TO sell ground to the school
trustees at q very big price. That is all
right. It is every mans privilege to
get all he can for what he sells. But
the trustees are absolutely independent.
They can get along with the ground
they have-and every one not interested
viii applaud them.
And we don't know of any one but the
interested parties who will approve
their action if they spend any consid-
cradle portion of that seven hundred
thousand for ground that is not needed.
