LIVING NOW AND THEN.

Speaking OF the higher standards of
living. someone has happened to re-
member the picture drawn by Benjamin
Franklin of the mode of living of some
workingmen of his day. In his auto
biography he relates how he got his
mates IN Il London printing house to
change thoir habit of breakfasting
From my example u great part OF
them left their muddling breakfast of
beer and bread and cheese, finding
they could with ME be supplied from
ncighboring house with a large por-
ringer of hot water-grueI sprlnkled
with pepper, crumbed with bread, and
bit of butter in II. for the price of a
pint OF beer-v;Z., three half-pcncc"
Compare this bill of fare to any of
our day. And yet there were intel
lectual giants in those days
In Philadelphia Franklin lived on a
vegetarian diet at a cost OF &c conts a
week. Tho consequence was that after
seven months of work he returned to
| Boston with every mark of prosperity.
| He was, ho says. better dressed than
| ever. having a Scnteel nov suit from
head to foot, a watch, and the pockets
| lined with near i've pounds sterling In
silver Fancy a workingman today
making a special note OF the fact that
he had new suit of clothes. u watch,
and SIS!
The standards of living have i'd
yanced almost beyond comprehension.
Most Americans are better equipped
with the luxuries of life than wcro the
kings of old. Many of them live as
kings. A contributor to McClure's Mag
azine says King Alphonso XIII has
steak and potatoes for breakfast, often
I preceded by eggs and sometimes fol-

A contemporary that has not been the
red-hot champion of the High school
bonds, says; I'VE understand that a
movement Is afoot for the selection of
what might be called committee of
safety. which will keep close tab upon
the proceedings of the board with re-
ming and construction OF buildings, and
generally bo a check on any wrong
doing in connection with the expendi-
ture of this money" Such a committee
should be dubbed the "bull-dozing COM
mittee." If formed, it should. on its
first attempted interference. be told
politely but firmly to mind its own
business.

BISHOPS OFFICE.

The new Bishops Office building that
of the most artistic and substantial
structures in the City 1t has ample
accommodations for the offices of the
Presiding Bishopric and some Church
organizations. 1t has all the modern
conveniences and is, in every respect a
credit to the Church. 1t is beautiful
addition to the many monumental edi-
flccs that now adorn the Temple square
and surrounding blocks In Its solidity
and elegance and its contrast 10 the
old buildings In which the offices were
located formerly, 1t indicates the ma
ress of the Church, and inspires the
Latter-day Saints with JOY and thanks
giving.
The very Church buildings are testi-
monies in stone. as 1t were, to the char
acter of the leaders and members or
the Church. A gentleman who passed
through the City last year. as so many
tourists do, called at the News" office
for a friendly chat, Looking at the
magnificent view across the street from
this office, he said, In substance: II
have greatly admired your Temple and
Tabernacle, and this building. and 9TH
ers anu I need no other testimony con-
cerning the character of the men who
planned and built them. Those who
erect such solid and beautiful struc-
he frnofrd nd
everywhere" There Ia truth In that
conclusion.
Some of the enemies of the Mormon"
people have tried to make 1t appear
that the leaders ol the Church have no
enterprise. and that they are too con-
servative for progress. They have tried
TO make you believe that but for their
own wonderful energy and financiering
ability. there would have been no Salt
Lake at all. The Church buildings
contradict that accusation and brand
the acousvls 5 as wilful pervcrters of the
TRUTH The Temple was planned and
the work on 1t commenced at a time
when this place was all but a desert.
The foundations were laio when oxen
were depended upon for transportation.
Work on the Tabernacle and Assembly
hall was started as soon as possible,
and other public buildings were erected
in due time, all under difficulties of
which the present generation has but
faint idea But for the enter
prise, the energy, the wisdom and
foresight of the Church leaders this
City would not have been built up to
the point where 1t looked good to the
later office hunters. Through the fore
thought of the Church leaders, work
was provided and homes were reared,
and gradually the place became at
tractive. OF late years the Church
leaders have been in position to erect
a number of largo. substantial build
ingS. The money paid out for these
enterprises has found its way to the
them to the stores and factories, etc.
The money has been put in circulation
and helped building up the City.
We say, without fear of contradic-
tion from anyone who knows, or has
any regard for. the truth, that the
Church leaders, from Brigham Young
10 the present venerable and beloved
incumbent of an exalted Office, have
done more for the building up of Salt
Lake and the State of Utah, and the
promotion of prosperity here, than all
their detractors put together. Their
works speak for them,

RAILROADS HELP INDUSTRIES.
Would Sell Coal for Fuel During
Shortage Trouble Times.

Western railroads have asked the in
terstate commerce commission to pass
on a complicated problem arising from
the recent coal shortage. During the
recent severe weather when the coal
supply was limited, the roads in some
instances disregarded the commodities
clause of the interstate commerce law
and sold their own fuel to industries
along their lines that needed 1t. The
roads preferred to take chance and
violate the law. rather than to compel
the industries to shut down for lack
of fuel. The law prohibits a railroad
from transporting and selling CONNER
cially coal and other commodities in
which it is interested financially
The western roads have been affect
ed little by the law because where they
own coal mines the product is sold at
the tipple. and so has passed out of
the possession of the carrier before
transportation begins. 1t is under
stood that the commission has de-
clared itself willing to be 1enient re-
garding violations, where strict observ-
ance Of the Law would work a hard
ship. To meet the situation in tn, fu-
ture an effort will be made to secure
the passage of ar amendment to the
law which WI permit a railr cad to
sell its own coal curing an emergency,

equipment, composed of swinging
arm with the transmitter and receiver
mounted in a fixed position on a yoke

age battery is used for operating the
circuits and the dispatcher's trans,
mitters.
