DID 1T STOP THE BLIGHT

Some time in the coming summer-or
the present summer. if you are critical
about the March sunshine-thousand
of people from all over the world will
go to Oberammergau, in Bavaria, and
witness The Passion Play.
Just now most of the newspapers and
magazines devote space to that event,
and everything related to it in history
and purpose is recited. With one ex-
ception.
1t is stated that the play originated
in the seventeenth century, when the
peasants, in order to avert a recurring
blight on their flax crop, made a vow
to Heaven that they would portray,
every ten years, the sufferings of
Christ"
They have kept their vow. They
went on for about two hundred years
with no more spectators than cared to
drift in from the surrounding villages;
and then the fame of it went abroad.
and people from every land under the
sun now plan ten years ahead to go to
Oberammergau and see the Passion
Play. The thing has been caught with
cameras, and on many stages the story
of the play and the scenes related to
1t are presented by lecturers.
But we don't find anywhere whether
or not that blight to the flax crop was
averted.

SALT LAKE DIDN'T WANT 1T,
ANY. WAY.

Salt Lake doesn't care where they
put their prize fight. The precise loca-
ton of the place where Mr.. Jerfries
shall punch all semblance of humanity
from the countenance of Mr. Johnson,
or where Mr.. Johnson shall demonstrate
the inability of man to come back"
+. is a matter of the supremest indiffer-
ence to the people of this beautiful city.
Our people didn't want the fight, any
way.
prize fight is an awfully demoraliz-
ing affair. Maybe there is no more
danger to the men engaged than there
is in the annual football scrimmages at
Cummings Field. Maybe the struggles
of two men forty minutes on a mat is
a more depressing spectacle. But salt
Lake is modern and conventional city,
imbued with all the sentiments of the
twentieth century civilization; and she
promptly hastens to despise the whole
business, and turns her back in virtu-
Gus scorn at the argument that it would
have brought a barrel of money into
the channels of trade.

six months. All the Kids" and the

Naturally the newspapers would have
been forced to print the things engag-
Ing the general attention. That could
not have been escaped. And every boy
and girl in town would have been more
familiar with mits and left hooks and
upper cuts by the time the fight was
over than they are with arithmetic.
OF course prize fighters are men of
unimpeachable character. Let that go
without saying. But it is a necessity

PASTOR cARvEH's VIEWS.

AT Ogden Sunday last Reverend j. E.
Carver delivered a sermon in which he
is reported TO have expressed himself
in opposition to the whole movement
for foreign missions. 1t is added that
he said the heather were better left
alone.
Wen. that may be. Byron. you know,
said the heather were indebted to
civilization equally for rum and holy
water" And it seems to be the con-
sensus of Travelled opinion that the
heather learn all they shouldn't know
of visitors from Christian nations, even
If they don't learn much of the things
they should know.
But as we understand the missionary
movement, both cloth and lay, the war;
rant back of the labor and the money
contribution required, is that Christian
izing the world advances the world;
that Christianity has helped to de-
velop in all races the qualities COM
monty recognized as desirable among
men.
It is disclaimed that they are trying
to make the world Presbyterian-for ex-
ample; or Methodist. or Episcopalian.
or whatever. 1t is declared that all
these churches, indeed, compose their
differences in the united effort to con-
vert the world to this universal re-
ligion which is better for the world
than any other religion, or no religion.
And if they are right about that we
can not entirely subscribe to the views
of Chaplain Carver. You see, one of
the tests of confidence in a doctrine
is the desire to have the next fellow I'M
derstand it, and share its benefits. We
is the right political party, and we are
working all the time to convince men
in other parties that they would be bet
ter in the Republican party; and that
all government-city, county. state and
nationals better in Republican than
in other hands. Our Mormon friends,
in the matter of religion, believe all the
world should and will be Mormon, and
they are working very industriously to
that end
Now, il Christianity betters the race,
then members of Christendom-even if
they don't exactly indorse everything
that goes on in the churches, or that
is printed in the books-are in a man.
ner bound TO help advance Christianity;
to help convert the world to that big
faith; to make the world healthier and
buster and freer and happier.
That is the solvent, after all: Hap
pierl
1t doesn't seem to be so much a claim
that we are any more in the confidence
of God than are the heather, as it is
claim that the study and practice of
this cult tends to the betterment of
men. And if that be true, then-within
limits-even the foreign mission field
should be cultivated.

be done in this country, of course

GOOD MEN GOT TOGETHER.

There is a cheering bit of news from
Brigham City. TO the effect that the
quarrel between opposing political par
ties in the city government have been
composed; and all the councilmen and
the mayor have concluded to quit quar-
relling and serve the city.
OF course that is the proper course.
We would not care to characterize as
child's play any dispute engaged in by
responsible men; and they are respons-
ible men. But without question the in
terests of the public suffer when there
is a partisan deadlock between the
executive and the legislative branches
of any government, whether it be city
or state or nation.
There are other towns in Utah where
the example of the Brigham men could
with profit be followed. And ii will be
a happy day when the subsistence of
their strife can be chronicled

SOME STRIKING ADVERTISING.

We don't wish to discriminate: but
it would be something to the advantage
of Salt Lake if the picture and story
of the automobile that climbed Ensign
Peak were sent to every man, woman
and child in the United States, Canada,
Mexico, and the islands of the sea. And
if there are people in parts of the earth
not above specified, it would be help
full to send copies of picture and story
to them, too.
That is rather a striking notion-the
automobile at a mountain peak 1t may
be easy, and ii may not. But the pic
ture of a car there, with the city and
she valley and all the world far below
that ought to catch the eye and hold
the attention OF men and women,
whether or not they are interested in
motoring.
And Salt Lake would in every case
get a word of helpful advertising wher-
ever the description fell.

THAT WOULD HELP SALT LAKE.

That is a wise man who can determine
from statements of people authorita-
lively representing the Moffat road.
whether or not that line is TO be ex-
tended to Salt Lake this year. But
such an extension would be a blessing
to the city and the state.
There is a tremendous volume of bust
ness for east-and-west railroads, and
it is getting bigger every year. If all
the roads into Utah We're double tracked
their entire length they couldn't any
more than take care of it. And they
are not entirely double tracked, and
are not likely to be soon.
That road. completed according to the
published plans-the repeatedly pub
lished plans, by the way-would make
transit in better time from the east.
and to the east from this mountain
country.
What the state needs is the building
Of more railroads. And that is especially
true q the region to be traversed by the
Moffat line.

HE DIDN'T NEED THE sHoFER.

Any of you good people ever read
Thackeray? Rather old? Oh, yes.
Dates back TO about the middle of the
nineteenth century. But it is doubtful
If there are any new best sellers
which better portray human life and
the motives Of it.
That is particularly true of Vanity
Fair" Your grandfather read that
and remembers il, too.
The thing is brought to mind by the
telegraphed story of young Mr.. Cudahy
of Kansas City, who enlisted the aid
of his shofer and savagely punished a
man he found in the family home either
late on Saturday night OF early on Sun
day morning; We are not sure which.
And the Thackeray way is the better
story.
Captain Rawdon Crawley, your
grandfather win recall, was the hus-
band of Becky Sharp, and he had been
arrested for debt. 1t was not the first
time. and there had been a curious CO.
incidence in feasts at his apartments
when he spent the night in a debtors
prison. But never until this night was
he able to find a friend until next day.
You see, there We're no telephones or
telegraphs or messenger-boy services in
London then-your grandfather will re-
mind you.
But on that particular night Captain
Crawley was able to find a friend within
the hour. Some happy circumstances
carried to a brother officer the news
of Rawdon's trouble, and he hurried to
the bastile with the funds to discharge
the execution. And Crawley, after an
hour or so in the society of his brother
officers-the thing was not considered
dishonorable-went home. And as he
came to the door of his rooms he found
that within his home his charming wife
was entertaining the man of all the
world he believed responsible for his
arrest So Rawdon pushed in the door
your grandfather will tell you what
a splendid big fellow he was; and after
looking them over, comparing their
table TO the bread and water he hadl
had in jail-and instituting a number
of other reflectiOns-Captain Crawley
waded in and trimmed the 'other man"
TO the queens taste. And Mr.. Thack-
cray. your grandfather will be careful
TO tell you. makes the point that when
Becky Sharp saw what giant her hus-
band was, she fell in love with him all
over again, and was sorry she had ever
flirted with the other fellow, even if
he did have plenty Of money.
1t is of record that Mrs Cudahy hates
her husband. partly because she hates
him, and partly because he called 10
his aid the shofer when he came in to
punish the man who was spending the
evening-or the morning-with her. And
there is the touch of human nature in
the incident. Crawley didn't ask any
one to help him take care of his wife.
If he couldn't do it himself, he didn't
do it at all. The man was worthy of
the best woman in the world because
he could protect her against the world,
and because no one in the world could
take her away from him. And Mr.
Cudahy loses his wife fcrever-and her
respect and the respect of pretty nearly
everyone else-because he had to have
the help of his hired man to maintain
the sanctity Of his home.
The Thackeray version would have
been better. Your grandfather will tell
you so.

est uniform and parade the plaza on
the arm of Madriz, and all the populace
will go into raptures at the exhibition
of fraternity. and the things for which
the revolution was waged win be for
gotten. n
Nobody will be the worse<3or tex
cept Zelaya, who lost his job of presi-
dent, and doesn't seem to have realized
enough money while holding it to pro-
vide a residence in Paris. Zelaya has
every reasonable resemblance to the
goat.
1t is the essential instability of the
Central American character that stands
revealed in the entire incident-from the
first breath of trouble to the proposal
for peace. A man of strong character
and some Imagination finds admirers,
and concludes he is a bigger man than
the one they have elected president.
And having wit enough to mistrust his
ability to keep them thinking so until
the next election, he starts revolution
to get by force what he might be I'M
able TO get by voting.
In the course of his alleged revolu-
ton lives are sacrificed; the whole in
tegrity of his country is perilled; inno-
cent people are made to suffer; for
eigners forced into the quarrel whether
they will or no are stood against the
wall at daybreak and shot to death.
And then the leader of the revolution
makes his peace with the government.
There is an even darker suspicion in
the whole affair. If the government is
willing to pay the revolutionary debts
to the amount of a million, how much
are they paying Estrada and his wise
associates to get their consent to sub
mission?
And are the interests of Americans
and others any more secure now than
they were before Estrada flung his
glove into the face of Zelaya and estab-
lished himself at Bluefields?
Wherefore, it would be the part of
wisdom for fhe United States to exer-
else a greater influence in Latin
America than is now the case. 1t would
be better for the people native TO that
soil-and It would be eminently more
advancing for everyone else who may
by right and choice have residence
there.

Horse, Dog and Man.

The horse and the dog had tanned a man
and fastened him to fence.
Said the horse TO the dog, For the life of
me, | don't see a bit of sense
In letting him have the thumbs that grow
at the sides of his hands, do your?
And the dog looked solemn and shook
his head and said, I'm goat if do.
The poor man groaned and tried to get
loose. and sadly he begged them, Stay

have use. by cutting my thumbs away!
You will spoil my looks, you will cause
me pain! All, why would you treat me
AS l am. God made me. and He knows

The dog laughed out. and the horse re-
piled. ''Oh. the cutting won't hurt you;
see?
Well have a hot iron to clap right on,
as you did in your docking of me!
God gave you your thumbs and all, but
still, the Creator, you know, may fail
To do the artistic things, as he did in
the furnishing me with tail!''
So they bound the man and cut off his
thumbs, and were deaf to his pitiful
cries;
Ana they scared the stumps and they
viewed their work through happy and
dazzled eyes.
"How trim he appears the horse ex-
claimed, since his awkward thumbs
are gone
For the life of me 1 cannot see why the
Lord ever put them on"
"still. ii seems to me-" the dog replied,
that there's something else TO do;

how do they look to your

But you didn't disfigure me, you

So they let him moan and they let him
groan while they cropped his ears away,
And they praised his looks when they let
him up, and proud indeed were they!
But that was years and years ago, In an
unenlghtened age!
Such things are ended now, you know;
we've reached a higher stage.

reason to regret that it doesn't come

county should be a violation of law
and subject to punishment. The
whiskey question is the knottiest one
chat has ever been before the people
to handle. Prohibition is a. failure
wherever it has been tried. There
may yet be some means devised to
stop sale of intoxicants, but so far
it has not been discovered. We are
of the opinion if the present mode
of handling men for liquor dealing
was reversed, and the one who
drinks it to excess was punished in
stead of the seller, the solution of
the question might be found. When
the gun seller disposes of his gun
and it is used by the purchaser to
commit murder it is the purchaser
and not the seller who is punished.
The same law should apply to the
one who drinks whiskey and com
mits crime.
After a thorough trial of prohibi-
tion in Linn county for several years
the courts are still being burdened
with illegal sellers, and dishonest in
formers are being paid a premium
for illegally purchasing and inform
ing. If the purchaser is better than
the seller we fail to understand how
it happens.
The writer passed through Kansas
within the past two weeks where pro-
hibition has been under rigid test for
many years. For the purpose of in
vestigation a number of cities were
visited and stops sufficiently long
made to learn the true condition.
Drunks were common and whiskey
and beer abundant. Under the laws
of that state drug stores cannot sell
intoxicants for any purpose and
doctors cannot prescribe it, yet the
traffic goes on. One u. s. senator
and congressman from Kansas have
introduced bills in congress to pre-
vent the importation of intoxicants
into a dry state from a wet one. If
this should become law the predic-
tion is that moonshining will become
common.
We do not pretend to advise a rem
edy with any hope of eradicating
the whiskey evil, but we do believe
the nearest approach to prohibition
would be to not allow it sold for any
purpose, medicinal, mechanical, or

ance lecturers who cannot bring ap-
proved credentials to show they have
not been drunkards, gamblers, ex-
convicts or wife-beaters in the past.
The majority of such lecturers are
self-confessed reformed drunkards
and general outlaws We believe
whenever a man parades his former
weaknesses before the public it is
safe to shun him. If he was public
drunkard ten to one he is a private
drunkard if he was a thief it is in
the bone and the opportunity is all
that is lacking to prevent him from
committing another theft; if he
whipped his wife while under the in
fluence of liquor the disposition is
in him and he drank as an excuse for
doing the deed he had in his wilful
heart when he was sober.
The remedy for villainy is an enig-
ma. The remedy for Illicit whiskey
selling a puzzle. Cain committed
murder and Christ made wine. Muir
der will always be committed and
wine always drank. Unfortunate,
but true. The example set will be
perpetuated Notwithstanding rigid
laws for their prevention.
