The News-Democrat says:


This is a good time to drop poll
tics and touch a note of human sym
pathy that will reach all humanity.
We find in reading the daily ac-
cumulation of the worlds news, an
incident In Denver, over the con-
temptation Of which We pause to re-
fleet.
A youth who had wandered from
the influences OF home was arraign-
ed before a Denver Judge on the
charge Of vagrancy.
II was the judges verdict that
struck us as being something out OF
the ordinary.
He didn't sentence him to jail, or
read him a stern lecture from the
bar of justice.
He simply sad. "Write home to
your mother" That was all.
Sounds simple like in these days
of stern realiasm, doesn't II?
But II was about the best advice
we have heard from the bench for a
long while, and II that boy will give
it heed. this will be his last appear
ance in court as a prisoner.
The world is not crowded with
boy criminals who have kept In
touch with mothers, back home.
There is something about the
strength of the influence welded by
the gray haired mother back there
that keeps a boy straight in spite OF
himself.
II is often the case that when the
boy leaves the old homestead, and
takes up his abode in the fascinating
glimmer of the city's whirl, the VS.
ion OF the mother and her tender In
fluence vanishes. and the letters that
at first were frequent, grow gradu-
ally less, and at last, quit entirely.
Then 1t is that he sewers the last
cord binding him to the better ways
OF life, and begins his journey along
the devious path that leads at last
to the place this boy found.
We are not a moralist. nor do we
pretend to preach, but this simple in
cident has served to call to our mind
fact that Is as old as the hills, and
as lasting. and It is. that the mother
is boys best friend.

THE CANADIAN TARIFF.

vestigatfon OF the Ballinger charges

treaty of peace with Canada; but IL

the front pages for weeks, and per-

and his northern neighbor are ready
to enter into trade compact, by
which the United States will enjoy
all the privileges of the most favor
ed nation in the exchange of commo-
dities with Canada.
We have one tariff plan. with a
maximum schedule for those coun-
tries which discriminate against
American goods. and the minimum
for those countries which let us in
on the most favored terms. Canada
has a general tariff rate. a special
agreement with England and a spec
ial treaty arrangement with France.
The United States will be put on the
same footing as France, 1t is under

been constant friction and mucf

Importance, than the question Of
whether Joe Cannon or Victor Muir

our natural resources Is more impor'
tant than the question whether Rich

are inclined to think the returning
Mr.. Roosevelt will regard the
Canadian tariff triumph as a cor
roboration of his judgment in back
ing Taft for the presidency, and the
insurgency and the Ballinger probe
as incidents of factional politics.
We expect Mr.. Taft to shine in
the colonial and foreign relations
most; for, as executive of the Philip
pines he learned much about our de-
Tendencies, and his trip around the
world put him in personal touch
with the situation everywhere, as re-
CARDS our interests. That is shown
by Mr.. Knox's calling the hand OF

are removed and central
is extended. Critics of the
federal system thought that our for
eign policy would be weakened by
he division of authority. We are
hnding that corruption in state gov
ernments and the twilight zone
between the state and national gov
have made our internal
policy a thing to be laughed at,
while the strength of our foreign
policy depends upon the size of the
men in the executive department.
The reason our internal policies
have been weak, is that they have
affected individual citizens, and it is
always bad politics to make enemies
of political influences. On the other
hand, influences have to a great ex-
tent decided the distribution of i'm
provements and appropriations. How
ever, this is the fault of congress
not the executive.
Before this term is out, we expect
to see the congressional comittee or
postoffices and postroads inauguratt
legislation, which will enable the
ADMINISTRATION to place the postof
fee department on a better business
basis; and we expect to see the Puget

IL IL remarkable how the same
simple incidents in the daily run of
the news will strike the editorial
fancy of widely separated news
papers about the same time, though
the style of the editors may differ,
and their political affiliations, en-
vironments, education and manner
of thinking may be as various as 1t
is possible to conceive. For instance
John Duncan-Clark, editorial writer
of the Louisville Herald is a Cana
dian, educated for the Presbyterian
ministry and a graduate in medicine.
He writes for a Republican news
paper. Yet We find that Friday
morning he composed an editorial
on the decision of a Denver Judge.
that is so remarkably like an edi-
torial in Saturday mornings News
Democrat in thought and verbiage as
to arouse our interest.
The Herald arrived in Paducah
about half past four Saturday after
noon and the News-Democrat was
published next morning. which re-
lieves our friend Duncan-Clark from
the charge of plagiarism. 1t is not
often We enjoy the privilege of COM
pairing the treatment Of a non-politi-
cal subject by a Republican and a
Democratic paper.
The Herald said:
write home to your mother
sounds a little more human, more
Christian and more sensible than
ninety days in Jail" 1t was the
sentence that Judge Calvin, of Den
yer, gave the other day to a youth
who had taken a few steps In sin.
The boy. under the law, was a
vagrant. The Judge made him hu-
man being, with a chance for useful
ness.
Few boys who keep In close touch
with a mothers love go far astray
The youth was but one of hundreds
who leave the family fireside for the
world struggle. He, as have other
boys before and will many others to
come. forgot that gray-haired wom-
an whose heart will always contain

the cute tricks of his babyhood, of
his first pair of pants, when she shed
her silent tears because he was
growing up"
Instead of the memories of the
humble home, with its rag carpet,
it's oilcloth covering for the table, its
decent economies and above all its
mother heart which filled it with love
and turned II from a rude habdtation
to a real home. the boy found the
bright lights, the clang of the me-
chanical piano. the rough comrade-
ship of other and old men who had
also forgotten their mothers.
He did as hundreds do. He didn't
have time to write home.
II he thought at all Of the lonely
evenings in that humble home, with
woman remembering his young
pranks and with heart aching with
longing for some word, the
thought was brushed aside by the
fast growing appetite for these new
city habits.
The young man that takes time
to keep the close sympathy of the
little boy with his mother, won't find
time to get into trouble. Better
than that, the very memory OF her
sacrifices and her love will protect
him from going to more glfttering
and dangerous paths of occupying
his time.
write to your mother" is about
the wisest sentence we have heard
from a criminal court for a long
time.
II has it's authority in a greater
law than that which any legislature
has ever framed-the law OF love,
which holds and protects when
other human barriers against un-
wise conduct fail.

Colonel Roosevelt has come out of
the African wilderness to the ancient
cities Of Egypt. From the very newest
land under the sun he comes to one of
the very oldest. From a region where
civilization has never been seen except
as a visitor, he steps into towns that
were gray with age when Moses lived;
towns that had a history and laws and
industries and a commerce before Jo-
seph came down out of the land of Ca
naan.

AN OMITTED QUESTION.

We look in vain for the following
question in the list BARRIERS were re-
quired to answer before they could re-
ceive license to shave in the state of
Utah:
Is it your habit to insert the index
finger of the left hand in the mouth of
the victim while shaving him?
And that is a thing that should have
been asked. And every barber who an
swered in the negative should have
been given a medal; and those who
said YES" should have been banished
to the far side Of the Jordan river.
There are a few things which cannot
properly be described in newspaper
print. And the habit of most BARRIERS
in taking liberties with the patrons
mouth is one of them.
Also, it is one Of the sound reasons
Tor the safety razor.

by the proprietors for $4,000, running
the length Of time the contract is in
force. Several insurance companies are
engaged in this line of business, and it
is probable that before long the custom
will be as common to insure the lives
Of competent men as it is to insure
property against loss by fire. 1t Is
said the system encourages contract Pc
sitions for men of value and that the
idea is as feasible as that in insuring
the honesty of officials by surety COM
panies.
While the plan is comparatively new
| il is none the less based on sound and
sensible foundation. There are some
officials of corporations that know more
about the business than the men who
own the stock, and some workmen in
mills and factories. whose technical
knowledge of the work to be done is

Andrew Carnegie attributed his great
success in the steel business to the fact
that he was fortunate enough to secure

THE FAME OF THE BRIDGES.

One Of the most interesting articles
of the month is that entitled ''The
Great Natural Bridges Of Utah." which
is contributed by Professor Byron
Cummings to the National Geographic
Magazine. 1t is a very valuable word
for Utah, because Of the standing of
the author, the Importance of the ma
terial he discusses, and the prominence
given it by the publication named. The
article is illustrated with seven pic
lures, and the recital of the wonders
of which those bridges form part is
immensely interesting.
The process by which such bridges
are formed is interesting. Let it be told
in Professor Cummings own language:
In numerous places over these bare
cliffs large cisterns have formed, into
which rush the waters from the sur
rounding rocks every time a storm
sweeps over this region. 1t happened
that in one place where a cave was
worn out of the side of the cliff one of
these cisterns formed back of it in the
cliff above. Gradually the cistern kept
growing larger and deeper and the cave
kept extending its area backward inch
| by inch until the bottom of the cistern
broke through into the back Of the cave
near it's floor. The rushing of wind
and water with every storm has kept
| charging the opening until the arch OF
| the cavern has become a graceful
| bridge having O. height Of forty-nine
/ feet and a span of 122 feet. There are
/ two similar structures near this where
| the cistern broke through at the back
/ of the caves near the top so that you
have the arch in front and an immense
/ skylight at the back. The architect has
not yet finished the contract. Here
natural bridges can be seen in process:
/ Of construction.
That is the quality of the entire ar.
ticle. It will add to the creditablt
things the world should know Of Utah
And It win be one of the factors II

wonderland of this marvellous southern
Utah region will become known t.

BIG. BUSY PITTsRURc.

Just now the world stands aghast at
the revelation of civic wickedness in
Pittsburg. a lot of men entrusted with
the public's business and the peoples
money have been convicted of betray-
ing the people and robbing the public.
But there is another side to Pitts
burg. The ratio of bad men to good is
not SO great as recent revelations
might lead one to think. It has become
the fashion to shout aloud whenever a
Pittsburg man violates one OF the Ten
Commandments. But there are a good
many people there who do not violate
that law at all.
Pittsburg is mighty busy. It's peo-
pie have seen grow TO marvellous size

of wealth. The spirit for increasing
values has taken hold on many, and the
dominant impulse has been to prosper;
stress of il. some weak ones have sold
more than their brain and Drawn. Just
that has been enough to make capable
men rich. Men who are not quite so
capable have had to piece out their
capital with crime They didn't mean
to do it. They would have preferred to
be honest. But they have been carried
of their feet in many cases by the ire
mendous current Of hurrying industry
and the marvellous increases of wealth.
It isn't organic. PittsDurg is honest
