less of the Sultan who had

ing, the people swarmed
through the streets of Fee

it was an important

merely a two-line des-
patch that an uprising

A Trip to Paso Robes
LORIN WHITE,
San Francisco

Arriving at Paso Robles at $3.50
o'clock we had our supper and went to
bed. Next morning / made the ac-
ouaintance of the boy next door and he
said he would show me the big spring.
He went to his fathers stable and got
two horses and when we had ridden
about two miles we reached the bed OF
the Salinas river. We went into an old
barn, and there in the corner was
pool of inky black water. My COM
panion then said to me: I'm the mid
die of that pool Of water there is
large spring about foot in diameter,
and If you stand in the middle of the
spring you will not sink into the water
above your shoulders" We then went
in swimming and Frank said: GO out
and stand in that spring and If you go
to sink TIL hold you" and then
walked into the middle and stepped
into the spring. I shrieked: I'm go
ing to sink; save mel" But I did not
sink. There 1 was, standing in the
water up to my shoulders. l was
standing on the water and could feel
the sand hit my feet very hard. We
then climbed up on the rafters and
dropped feet first into the spring. We
would sink few feet and then shoot
to the surface like cork This is all
rather hard to believe. but if you jour
ney to Paso Robles DON'T fail to go to
the old barn and swim in the sulphur
spring.

l was eating pie in a grand old palace.
Music was playing for me.
There were knights in waiting, and
Wonderland Alice,
And all were as nice as could be.
All my friends were there with me
And all were eating their fill
We were merry as larks, for, you see,
No one contradicted our will.
When the meal was gone, the dishes
cleared.
We danced to our hearts content,
And none there was who laughed or
jeered
At a joy that was heaven sent.

Dear Santa, / am very glad

And now again to you / write.

That you may step right softly down.

PLACE IN EUROPE / SHOULD
LIKE TO VISIT MOST
BY MARTHA sTANYAN,

The place / should like to visit most,
although it might not be the choice
of others, is Holland. l have always
been fond of reading about it, and
it makes me proud to think that many
of our forefathers who helped to build
up the great nation of America came
from there. / think the Dutch costume
prettier than any other costume in
Europe, and the little Dutch maidens
with their thick braids of fair hair,
the quaint caps and aprons, are very
picturesque l can see in my mind a
picture of the pretty Dutch windmill,
with the wind wheel going around
gently swayed by the evening breeze,
while in the background is blue,
crystal lake Across the green fields
comes little Dutch boy to call home
the cattle, and his sister is close be-
hind him, followed by a flock of white
geese. Let us follow them home. They
wander slowly along through the green
fields, the boy occasionally breaking
the silence by CHEEKY whistle as he
drives the cows in front of him.
Finally the children reach their home,
little white farmhouse, and pause
at the gate. Then man, presumably
their father, opens it, and the boy
drives the cows in. Let us follow them
into the stable. The cows have each
a separate stall and are well cared for
are so immaculate that any lady could
sit on them without the least fear of
soiling her gown.
Next the children go into the house.
where they are told to sit down to
supper The father, who is at the
head of the table, says grace, and
then such a Gathering OF dishes and
spoons you never heard The dishes
are of pretty blue china, inexpensive
but neat, and the snowy tablecloth sets
them off to perfection. First a bowl
of porridge is set on the table and the
children eat 1T as though it We're the
best chicken in the world Then come
mush and pure cream, and also nice
home made cheese by way of dessert.
After supper the children go into the
bedroom and sit on low stools and study
their lessons. The sun is just setting
when they finish, and they go to the
lattice window, and, leaning their ell
bows on the sill, gaze across the fields
at the blue, crystal lake They see in
the distance a little sailboat, making
a pretty picture as it is outlined
against the evening sky. Finally the
girl, who is named after the good
queen says: Come Peter, 'tis time to
father, who is smoking his pipe in the
kitchen, and say: Come, father, tbs
time to be going" $50 tbs, so it's"
cries the old man, and, putting on his
tall hat, he takes chlld by each hand,
while the mother takes the hand OF
the little girl Then they set out for
the little Dutch church, which is situ-
ated in the village.
After church they visit one OF their
friends, and while the fathers are chat
ting over their pipes and the mothers
are talking together the children are
amusing themelYes by dancing the
Dutch clog, or clinken. The family
goes home early and sings merrily as it
passes through the dark fields. The
moon shines down upon them and one
The San Francisco call., 1910-12-18

can see that this simple family is really
a world within itself and is happy the
livelong day
Now, having given you a peep into
Dutch life you can see how interesting
it really is, and when you think that
these intelligent little people grow up
into fine men and women, can you
wonder why l would like to go there?

OUR BALANCE OF TRADE.

The new tariff law has had one eff.
feet that was probably not expected by
its trainers. That is, it is rapidly wip-
ing out our heretofore magnificent bal
ance of trade. which has warded off the
shipments Of gold from this country to
Europe, to pay for imports, for freights
in foreign ships, and interest to foreign
investors.
The balance of trade in our favor
amounted TO only little over 100000.
900 in the month of January, 1910
which is the smallest export balance for
any January for seventeen years. Heavy
exports are rule in January. and yet
in spite Of this, the balance of trade
fell to the almost ininitesimal figure
stated.
For the seven months ending with
January, the balance of trade in our
favor was only little over $l90,000,-
600. For the seven months year ago
our trade balance amounted to almost
$335,000, 900, loss on this account of
something over $14o.Ooo.ooo.
1t thus appears that we are fast
reaching the gold export basis, and
when we do have to pay in gold in place

fits" 0f 1.-The best tariff law ever en-

MEDICoS ON TUBERCULOSIS.

The officers of the Salt Lake County
Medical Society are anxious to have a
full attendance of the members Of the
society at tonight s open meeting in
Barratt Hall. 1t is to be tuberculosis
study, with stereopticon illustrations
Papers by several physicians will pre-
sent the subject from various aspects.
The war against tuberculosis, which
is being carried on throughout the
civilized world, and which has been on
for some years past, would be enough
to rout any foe other than the insidious
and powerful one against which this
war is waged. The "White Plague
is recognized everywhere as the great
enemy of human life, and warfare upon
it is made more direct, more aggres~
sive and with more aid from scientific
detail and specialization than the war
fare on any other one disease. Cancer
would perhaps come next, and there are
glimpses of relief from even that great
scourge.
The tuberculosis societies throughout
the United States are especially active.
and great work has been done by way
Of establishing open air camps in favor
able localities. and in applying such
helpful and remedial agencies as are
possible. Such distinct success as has
come from these efforts leads to the
hope Of conquering this dread disease
and rendering it as amenable to treat
ment, as others that have been consid
cred quite durable. Up to the present
time, however, the complete conquest is
not achieved, but hoped for; and it is
gratifying TO see the medical profes-
sion taking hold of this matter in such
4 vigorous way as it is doing through
out the whole country. The meeting
of tonight is one that deserves the at.
tention Of every medical man, and it is
to be hoped that as many as possible
of the members of the Salt Lake County
Medical Society will be present.

THE SORT OF LEADERS.

On Monday evening the Deseret
News paid some attention to The Trib-
une, and did it in it's usually false edi-
torial way, OF this paper it said;
According to that sheet the Mormons
leaders. from the Prophet Joseph down
TO the present. are all bad. Their religion
is scnsuality and commercialsm, and
opinion OF that sheet, come from NaZar-
eth.
The Tribune has always said that tho
majority Of the Mormon people were
good citizens, good neighbors and loyal
to the Nation. 1T never has said that
they were all bad, as the News very
well knows. That is a bald falsehood
of the church organ, and uttered only
for the purpose Of deceiving its own
readers as to the true attitude of this
paper toward them 1t is fortunate that
as the days go by larger and ever
increasing number of members of the
church read The Tribune, so that this
particular falsehood on the part of the
church organ will count for little, ex-
cept as against the falsi6er itself,
The Tribune has contended that the
church leaders have been and are bad
but not call BAD as that term
may be accepted in its proper signif-
cancc. They have been partially good
men. There is 70 man on earth but has
his good points and characteristics.
rendering it to be an Impossible prop
osition to designate any man, or any
set of men, as being call bad. - But
as to the general character of these
men we have said that there have
ferent traits, but that not one among
them all was loyal to his country, to
his State. TO his county to his city. to
his people and to his neighbors, through
out all his mature life. The News
will not deny, for instance, that Joseph
and Hyrum Smith, in the Nauvoo
Times and Seasons, repudiated the ex-
istence Of polygamy at Nauvoo, and
caused the women Of the relief society
there to add similar testimony to their
own. Nor may it evade the truth
that Joseph F Smith, the present head
of the church, has declared upon affir-
| nation that Joseph was polygamist at
the very moment he thus affixed his
| signature, or that some of the women
deniers were plural wives. 1t is not
supposed, either, that the church organ
will attempt to show that the record of
the life of the late Heber C. Kimball
does not contain the names of plural
wives of Hyrum Smith. secretly claimed
| by him at the time he signed the Nau~
VOC denial jointly with Joseph. If, so
far as the home and the family-the
chief bulwarks of civilization-are con.
cerned the Deseret News will say that
Joseph and Hyrum Smith were good
men, The Tribune would like to have it
say so, They attacked the very founda-
| tions of virtue and the sentiment out of
which has come the greatness and pro-

TO REDUCE PRICES.

The movement in this city to fight
| high prices appears TO be getting on /;
sure founda ton. The meeting in Fed
GRAFTON of Labor Hall on Saturday
night made good progress Ill the work
A plan of procedure was reported and
agreed upon, and n good many shares OF
stock In the new company were sub
scrlbod for. The meeting further along
in the present week is expected to com.
plete tho organization, and TO offer an
opportunity To the people of this city
to subscribe to the enterprise, The
proposition IS 10 organize n general mer-
camille and industrial company, which
will enagage in the mercantile business
and such industrial work as The people
OF the city and State who subscribe to
the stock may approve.
The idea is to sell goods somewhat
on the cooperative plan, eliminating
undue profits, and sharing the benefits
among the stockholders primarily in the
lowering OF prices. and in tho division
among them of such surplus as may
arise from the prosecution of the bust
ness. There would be $500 shares of
stock at $40 per share, and each stock
holder will be allowed but one vote no
matter how many shares he owns, That
is, no one can buy moro than one share
Of voting stock, The details of the
proposition arc fairly worked out, and
appear TO be promising for practical re-
suits
Fifteen directors VIII manage the
concern, which TO begin with, will be n
large mercantile store in the center of
town. smaller stores in the residence
districts to be opened later on. There
is an eye also to extending the benefits
of tho concern throughout the city,
None engaged in a competitive bust
ness will be permitted to buy voting
stock in the company, and the affairs
of the company will always be in the
hands OF the stockholders.
The plan seems TO be n practicable,
feasible one. and in good hands there
would appear to be no reason why it
should not work out we'll, provided 1t
does not undertake to infringe upon
business with respect to which there is
no special complaint II should, in our
Judgment, coufine itself 10 dealing in
the necessities of life, which have risen
so tremendously, and against which so
much complaint is directed. If it un-
dertakes to do too much and cover the
whole field at once, 1T will not only
incur danger within itself, but active
opposition without. Along practical,
needed lines. the movement ought to
succeed. But those in charge of it
should be cautious, and should limit
themselves primarily to the trade upon
which the community is so much
aroused. and in which the community
will render its entire sympathy and
support.
