A WoMAN's DAY in ILLINOIS.

Chiefly because the women of Illinois
asked for it. the legislature of that state
enacted a law providing that no woman
in any factory there should be required
or permitted to work for more than ten
hours in any one day of twenty-four
hours. The constitutionality of the
law was contested in Judge TUthills
court, the plaintiffs contending that the
law impaired the obligation of con
tracts. and destroyed the freedom of
the citizen to make such contracts as
were desired. And the state has ap-
peaIed from Judge TuthilPs decision.
W.. Calhoun, the new United States
minister to China, closes a brilliant ca
reer at the Illinois bar-at least until
he shall retire from the diplomatic SER
vice of his country-by an oral argu>
ment of great power and ability before
the state supreme court. His contention
is that, where necessity drives, there is
no freedom of contract; that the woman
in need of money for the support of her
children, will agree TO work for twelve
or fourteen or even more hours, and will
keep her part of the agreement-and
that she viii do so simply because she
is forced to do so. Mr.. Calhoun holds
that il the employer would pay fair

WHILE NO ONE WAS LOOKING.

Those managers of the Saltair road
are pretty clever people. While all the
city was debating the merits Of the
proposed route down Main street, they
were getting a terminal-and in a much
better location than any one else had
thought about. Furthermore, by build
ing their station in the center Of the
block between Main and West Temple
and between Second and Third South
the ground now occupied by the Mccoy
livery stable-they get at least half a
block nearer the crowds than would
nave been possible by any approvablee
line that has been under discussion.
The place is admirable. A station can
be erected there that will answer every
demand of their patrons. and viii as
semble all the convshiences that COM
pany or public can desire. 1t gives per-
manence to the whole scheme of Saltair
attractiveness. 1t embraces all the de-
sirable features that had been either
possessed or suggested, and many in
addition. And it is not at the expense

DID YOU READ "WHITE MAeIc2"

Last week a story entitled white
Magic" was concluded in the Saturday
Evening Post. For the most part IT
was rather d tantalizing composition.
There was so much of power evident in
the work of the author that the critical
reader wondered why he frittered away
his time with reiterated passages set
ting forth the excellences Of the man,
and the almost unmaidenly attack" OF
the lady.
But in the very concluding chapter
the reason becomes evident. Mr.. Phil
lips wants TO present the character OF
a good wOman-and a good young wom-
an, too-who frankly desires a husband,
and as frankly proposes TO have the
one she wants. The processes neces-
sary to get him make her conduct equi-
vocal in a way, and yet there is so evil
dent a rectitude in the girls whole mo-
tive; such an absence of maudlin SEN
timent on the one hand or improperly
on the other, that the offensiveness
vanisheS
1t doesn't make the story any better,
and probably the author didn't intend
To have it pleasant at the expense of
recording the problem and its solution.
But it is a valuable contribution to the
literature Of sociology. The girl in the
story recognizes in herself a possible
mother. She has a beautiful and big
conception of life. She does not pro-
pose to have her possibilities shortened
by any haphazard marriage with less
than her mate. She looks into that fu-
ture when she shall watch the develop
ment of her children from infancy to
adult years and powers, and she pro.
poses that they shall have the best
chance a mother can give them, And
if it looks like immodesty in the woman
TO propose to the right man, and follow
him till he surTenders to her-then she
is willing 10 suffer whatever condemna-
ton the future generation feels justly
to be pronounced upon her. In the
meantime, she has taken the course
which she believes will be best for those
children-for that generation which
comes after, and will have its own
problems to solve,
Viewed in that light, one can excuse
a whole lot of what seemed mawkish
and maudlin in the early chapters of
the story. For not even all the talent
of David Graham Phillips could evade
the recording of some surprisingly I'M
conventional passages. But when one
sees the motive was to record an argu-
ment in favor of q big principle in hu-
man life, and do it in the form Of a
story, one forgives him-and almost
forgives the girl.
But at the same time. one feels like
telling the gifted author not TO do it
again.

manage an opera company, or flock of
paper mills, or command an army. And
yet here he is charged with a RESPONSE
bility greater than all of them COM
bined.
He has moro units and items than
any corporation doing business in five
nations. He is expected to know the
evils that have grown up in the busi-
ness, and eliminate them. He is ex-
pected to know the losses, and the way
to avoid them. He is expected to buy
on the best terms, and hire men Of the
Shontz and Stevens and Paul Morton
grade-fOr two thousand dollars a year.
And with it all, he is expected to serve
ninety millions of people without delay
ing their mails, or Overcharging them
to the extent Of a postage stamp.
That is the cause of the postal de.
felt. The country doesn't supply ths
grade Of men demanded for the grade
of service. Naturally, bad and costly
and unfair customs creep in. Natural
ly, the nation gets robbed-and by the
time the robberies are found out, there
is a change in administration. The post
master general wearies of a Herculean
task with pigmy help, and-unable to
get better with the price at his COM
manufactures in favor Of some other
man who comes with a new stock of
totally untouched ignorance in the
matter.
That, probably, is the cause of much
more than national difficulties Cities,
too, entrust the management of their
big affairs TO men who couldn't get the
direction Of any store in the street.
States lay costly burdens on their leg
islators, and even heavier burdens on
their general officials. and expect re-
suits comparable to those Of the best
conducted and best paid concerns in
private business.
Sometime, somewhere, a change will
be made

LOSS AND AN OPPORTUNITY.

Very likely the suspension Of through
business on the Salt Lake Route will
result in a loss of money to Salt Lake
City in the coming summer. A good
many people who otherwise would have
gone from the east to California
through this city will now go by the
southern route all through the warm
months. Or, if they come by the Union
Pacific, it must be expected that a
number not much smaller than the
total will go straight through Ogden,
instead of stopping off and making a
special tip to Salt Lake. They want
to see this city, but not the normal
number will turn aside from the
through trip and make the journey
down here and back to the main line.
We are going to lose some of that Gus
tOmary business this year.
OF course, the usual travel through
Salt Lake will be resurned-and even in
increased vOlume-as soon as the direct
route to Los Angeles shall have been
restored to business.
Meanwhile, that suggests the advan-
tage of a railroad south from Salt Lake
to the Grand Canyon of the Colorado.
With the road to Los Angeles in ope-
ration, and a line down to that greatest
of natural wonders, thousands of new
tourists would come to this city. Thou
sands of people we will now have to
miss entirely would then come here, and
make the trip to the canyon.
Wherefore, good business for. Utah
viii dictate the early construction Of a
road south, either by way Of Marys-
vale or by way Of st. George, to the
marvellous country about the Colorado
river.
Gentlemen of the millionaire purses,
remember that fifty thousand people
last year visited the Grand Canyon
from the south-the poorer side. You
can bring a hundred thousand through
Utah every summer if you will give
them the road.

LET US HELP EACH OTHER.

If there were one thing more clearly
expressed than another in the banquet
of the Utah manufacturers, last Thurs
day evening at the Commercial club, it
was that the success of the movement
for the encouragement of Utah indus
tries would depend on reciprocity.
Each man must be as willing to help
others as he is DESTROYS that others shall
help him. Every producer and manu-
facturer in Utah will have to fix the
one principle in his mind; 1 will prefer
Utah goods above any other goods.
It is an interesting detail-and a very
important one-that the man so chOOs-
ing makes no sacrifice. That banquet
was pretty well served in the matter
Of foods and drinks. Yet it is doubtful
if the quality of anything on the table
could have been improved if the prod
ucts Of Utah had been discarded and
products of other states had been sub
stituted.
Utah is willing TO provide as good
goods as can be found, and to make the
price as low as competing goods COM
mand. That being true, it certainly is
the duty of every man who makes a
living in the state to give his first in
dorsement to the goods of Utah.
Each must help all the others.
After that, all must stand together
in bringing more men and women to
the state. The idle land must be re-
claimed and cultivated. The resources
of the soil will have to be developed,
The riches that have lain waiting for
the call of the husbandman will never
rise until summoned with the hoe, and
the pillow, and the intelligent labor of
farmers.
Those iches-measureless in volume
and priceless in blessing-will never re-
fuse to obey the summons Of labor.
And the growth of the farms will slim
ulate the business of every manufac-
turer in Utah.

CONDEMNS THE PROPAGANDA OF
FORCE,

Editor neutrality-suspicious. Nay l
have just little space in your columns
TO say a word concerning the meeting
held in Unity hall Sunday night, Janu-
airy 80? My absence from the city must
be my excuse for not making this state
ment earlier.
Lest there be any Misrepresentation on
the part of the public, and in justice to
the Unitarian church, it should be said
that neither the church nor its minister
was in any way responsible for the re-
marks criticised or for the meeting.
The meeting was arranged by the So
cialist local of this city, and the hall
was rented to them for that evening,
1t is undoubtedly true that the remark
about buying guns and learning to
shoot was unfortunate and, in my opin~
ion, entirely uncalled for. And while
the public may hold the Socialist party
or movement responsible for such
statement, it is a mistake so to do. The
Socialist party is no more responsible
for that sentiment than the Republi-
can party was responsible for the re-
igIOus views Of Mr.. Ingersoll, a distin-
guished member of that party.
In making that statement, Mr.. Burt
spoke for no one but himself. Nowhere
has the Socialist party declared in favor
Of any such policy as that of urging
wOrhngmen to buy guns and learn to
shoot. All its public announcements
are in the direction of urging working
men to the use of their minds and the
employment of their citizenship for the
promotion of their interests.
While it might have been wise for
someone to have taken exception to the
remark referred to, the only organiza-
ton with authority to repudiate that
statement is the Socialist local itself.
Personally I do not think the remark
was seriously intended by Mr.. Burt,
who is a good citizen and a good man,
but was spoken somewhat careIessIy in
the midst of an extempOre address.
This does not excuse it or lessen the
propriety Of your criticism, but 1 think
it states the facts in the case. Yours
truly,
WILLIAM THURSTON BROWN.

wages, the destructive long hours would
be unnecessary; and that whether or
not the long hours are needful, such
continuous labor is destructive of all
that is vital and valuable in the life of
the woman.
People of the United States are
watching Illinois with a good deal of
interest. If the law shall be held I'M
constitutional, the scorn Of humanity
everywhere will be the portion of that
state. If it shall be held that no man
can permit any woman to work more
than ten hours a day, the world will
think better Of the state which gave to
the nation another liberator-and which
has not forgotten his example.

OreamIand,

Afar in the realms of Dreamland,
As light as the zephyr's wing.
With a world of beauty around me.
Where no shadows float or cling.
The roses hue in the sunset,
The blue Of the sea I'm the sky;
The windows blaze Of glory,
Where the sunbeams roam to die.
Naught but the breath of beauty
Not a shade to dim the way,
Rosy and golden and starlike.
Like the dawn that heralds day.
Air as pure as the fountain,
On the cleft near Heavens own blue.
Where the mantle of sun and shadow
Rests the whole day through
Oh, afar in the realms of DreamIand.
The hours have passed away:
Oh. heart glad heart, there's a heaven
On earth If We find the way

THE TRUTH ABOUT THE DEFICIT

The United States pOstoffice depart
ment does a business Of two hundred
million dollars year. A postmaster
general is chosen at least once in four
years, and comes to his duties with no
preparation for them. He wouldn't
think of accepting responsible charge
of a mercantile house doing ten thou
sand dollars worth of trade. He
wouldn't at all undertake the legal di-
rectiOn of a railroad company, however
small. He would promptly decline TO

of a single right that the city would
feel called upon to defend.
OF course, a covered gallery artistic
in design and about ten feet wide, lead
ing from the terminal station directly
east to Main street, may be out of the
question because of the prohibitive
price Of the ground. But that addition
to the plan as published would make
the whole Arrangement ideal.
