PROTESTANT PASSION PLAY.

The success which has come to Oberammargau
as the seat of the famous Passion Play, thousands
Of tourists making the trip to the outof-theway
village to witness the performance, has furnished
incentive to certain promoters who propose to give
a Passion Play under Protestant auspices" next
summer at Eisenach, in Sake Weimar. From what
point of view the enterprise is viewed the
commercial aspect appears uppermost. There does
not seem to be any special reason why Eisenach, or
the Saxe-Weimar district should be chosen for the
production under Protestant auspices" of the Pas
sion Play which cannot be advanced for such
performance In any other place, unless it be that
the apostate Luther attended school in Eisenach,
and for that reason furnishes a sort of hallowed
ground for Protestant play based on the life of
Our Savior Jesus Christ
The Passion Play at Oberammargau has been
carried on there for years and we believe little eff
fort made to advertise it. Its intrinsic worth
was advertised by a few tourists who happened to
it, and these got others to attend each attend
ant becoming sort of walking advertisement, until
the years rolled round it became known through
out the civilized world. The religious atmosphere
necessary to justify such a performance has been
maintained and is maintained to this day, the play
endeavoring to bring to their sacred parts all
the purity and innocence which animated the char
acters they impersonate, and which is essential to
make the presentation holy The attempt to COM
mercialze the Passion Play is little short of bias
phemy; at least it is offensive to all truly religious
people, whether they profess Professionalism or not

RAPID Development.
paralysis.

Few of us realize the rapid development that has
taken place in the heavier-than-air flying machine
since the first successful flights were made Ask
anybody who does not know to guess when the first
flight was made and he will probably guess ten
years ago. But we believe it was on November II,
1906, that M. Santos-Dumont made two ffhts of
between five and six seconds covering between fifty
and sixty meters at each flight, and we believe thes
flights, made only four years ago, were the first
really successful flights of the aeroplane. In the
afternoon of the same day, M. Santos-Dumont, to
quote press report of the performance "sklmmed
along at height of fifteen feet and at speed of
thirty miles an hour for distance of 315 meters,
when fear that his whirling propeller would strike
the cheering crowd forced him to descend" The
opinion of witnesses of the performance were given
i'll the press report, and it is said "the more en-
thusastic were certain that the aeroplane would
soon fly for miles"
How well this belief entertained four years ago
has been realized is common knowledge today
From flights of a few seconds the aeropane has
been developed that it remain in the air for
hours, and from distance of fifty to sixty meters
hundreds of miles have been covered.
Before the flights of Santos -Dumont, of course
many experiments had been made, notably by Pro-
fessor Langley at Washington and the Wright

THE ELECTION RETURNS.

The results of the elections last week do no.
furnish much cause for joy among hide-bomd par
tisans, but they show indisputably growing dis
regard among the voters for party ties and desire
for thorough overthrow of machine" politics and
politicians. The returns of the early fall elections
in Vermont and Maine showed the direction of the
political Winds and it required no very experienced
prophet to make good guess on what the results
of the November elections would be- The Democ-
racy triumphed in socalled pivotal states probably
not much on the merits of the men or their
measures, as the shortcomings of their op-
ponents. 1t was a veritable landslide a protest
against bossism, whether that be real or an i'm
aginary evil And the desire to separate Big Bust
ness from politics is manifested
Success at the polls has so long been held as the
paramount issue among the politicians that the
good of the country and the people has been some
what overlooked Legislation has been based more
on the desire to perpetuate the legislators in Office
than on the desire to place efficient laws upon the
statute books 1t has been the desire to legis
late except to preserve the confidence of the people
No matter how vicious in principle any measure
might be- if it contained the elements which made
for oratory, and logical defense, that was suf-
fcent. On the side, of course, the benefciaries
Of the legislation were compelled to 'divvy up the
swag" to perpeuate the party responsible in power
The time has come for definite separation of
Big Business and governmental affairs. Business
ought to rest upon its own foundations and gov
eminent should be Of the people, by the people and
for the people But the reforms fought for cannot
be accomplished if the people sit down and wait
for their elected refomers to institute them 1t is
truism that the people get as good government as
they deserve They must demand fulfllment of
the prediction promises.

will not accept packages bearing charity" stamps
in addition to the regular postage stamps. 1t ap-
pears from the evidence before us that certain
postal employees in several South American and Eu-
ropean countries are unable to recognize the differ
ence between Red Cross stamps and postage stamps,
so the governments of those countries have been
compelled to refuse transportation of packages
bearing the extra Charity" stamps The depart
ment certainly was not under The necessity OF deslg
mating Christmas packages, but 1T did, nevertheless
and that announcement is sufficient to bring con-
sternation to those whose list of presents is not yet
made out.
But Christmas is coming. Let it be season OF
good wishes for the grown folks, and presents galore
for the children The good Santa Claus tries to see
all the children and those he cannot lind ought to

ing all our friends with present for which they
have little use and no desire Let's try to be sens-

A WONDERFUL FAILURE.

The attempt of Walter Wellman ard his crew
of five men, to say nothing of the cat to cross the
Atlantic ocean in an airship last week wound up in
a wonderful failure The America the airship IN
the experiment, made fight of approximately 800
miles, and the crew was picked up by the steamship
Trent, some 400 miles southeast of Sandy Hook
The failure to cross the Atlantic is not the most Re
markable feature of the daring aeronauts That
not surprising in the first attempt at such ire
mendous undertaking. TIE really remarkable fea'
ture of the whole trip was the ability of the air
ship to call assistance from the steamship and the
rescue at sea of the whole party, including the CAL
Although the wireless was not the means Of

the distressed airship, that having been accom-
plished by "Morse lamp winking its message ID
the darkness, a conversation of some two HUNDRED
words was carried on between the wireless operator
in the air and the wireless operator on board tns
Trent. This conversation is in the form of qles
tions and answers, and the airship operator gave
full directions to the steamship how to proceed
the rescue work. The conception of the plan, th
preparations to carry it out, and the failure Of
the daring aeronauts to accomplish their purpose
their rescue at sea and their return to New 1orS
together with the abandonment of their airshlP
constitute at once one of the most wonderful tan
ures and striking page in the history OF aer"

their angels always see the face of Ny Father who
is in heaven"
Even the heather gentle, in common with the
jew whom he despised, believed that particular
angels were commissioned to attend human beings.
Hesiod of the most ancient Greek authors, thus
describes those protecting angelic beings:
aerial spirits, by great Joye designed
To be on earth the guardians of mankind.
Invisible to mortal eyes they go,
And mark our actions, good or bad, below"
Cato, the Stole, Apuleus, and Plato have left on
record their belief in Guardian Angels, and so
WINGED the late Cardinal Manning the reality
of the existence of Catos "daimon,' or familiar
angel, that he wrote for the "Atheneum" very
learned dissertation on the "Daimon of Cato"
All history and much of geographic literature
IS repete with ndisputable examples of the friendly
warning or help vouchsafed to individuals by these
loving spirits and if we do not often expert
the influence of their tender care it is because
we are not worthy Of their friendship. How many
Of us ever think of our Guardian Spirit, or, in
prayer, ask his help or thank Him for what He may
have done for us?

CHRISTMAS is COMING.

Of course, the good people of America do not
need to be told that Christmas is coming. They
know it; or, at least that portion of the people
who insist ON giving Christmas presents to their
friends know it, and are already beginning to put
in sleepess nights That at least is the testimony
of one of these unfortunates it comes to us. The
stores will soon tell the people to do their shopping
early while the stocks full if you can't shop
early shop early you can. The fact that taxes
have just been paid and Thanksgiving dinner is yet
to be supplied rather dampens the shop early ardor,
unless forsooth the shopper has established an ac-
count and doesn't have to figure on the bill till the
first of the month.
The United States postofRce department also has

ing by. sending out notices that certain countries

ONE APPLE FOR $40.

After Spirited bidding" single apple grown
in Great Britain, weighing twentyseven ounces and
measuring sixteen and half inches in circumfer-
ence was recently sold at public auction in Covent
Garden, London, for $40. That is at the rate of
$3.50 an ounce, nearly FIVE times the market price
of silver The size of the apple is comparable more
to a small pumpkin than an apple. 1t was about
the size of an ordinary cantaloupe. 1t must have
been an unusual apple to bring such price, beside
which the market price of apples in Utah is but
mere pittance 1t was, in fact the record apple of
the season, and for this reason alone was adjudged
worth $40. We do not remember ever seeing any

GODS LOVING ANGELS.

Here are two remarkable incidents recorded by
Rev. E. Singleton, Anglican clergyman, in SER
mon he preached at Fosdyke, England, on XIII
Sunday after Pentecost:
Il believe" he said chat angels minister to u.s.
but people do not like to speak of their experience
of the ministry of angels in their own case, and the
majority of people dismiss the matter idle tales.
Yet it is quite true. [ would be bold enough to
ask you to listen to me when tell you two stories
not stories written to point moral written in a
book-notbing of the kind; they came to me from
the lips of the men whose experience they were.
q know the place well, place in my own coun-
try where I had living, and going down
tain part Of the country there is very long, steep
hill a most dangerous hill, called Crooked Wood.
A friend of mine who is a clergyman had occasion
to drive down that lonely mountain side, and the
night was pitch dark. He could scarcely see, and
when he came to bad part of the road he distinct
ly felt hand that took the horses rein and drew
it to one side of the road He went on few yardsl
and the rein became loose The next day when he
came back what happened? A tree had fallen over
that spot, and if he had gone on he would have
have been dashed down a precipice.
"The other case is one in which friend of mine
was delivered from the commission of dreadful
sin by the interposition of angel People do not
like to state their experience of these things, be-
cause they fear they might be laughed at but ,
ask you in all your dealings with God, with the
spiritual world and the ministry of His holy angels
to cultivate childish, simple faith in God.
Above all things do not be frightened if people
neer at your spiritual experience even if they
go so far as perhaps to express doubts as to your
sanity. Remember you have got Gods angels with
you invisible. Cultivate the thought and you will
find tremendous comfort in it, and gain in your
spiritual life"

If any one should ask u.s. 'Do you believe these
two strange stories told by Rev. E. Singleton in his
sermon at Fosdyke?" we must answer: "Most as
suredly we do for in our own lifetime, in our wan
behring's and travels in out of the way places, we
have experienced the tender protection of our
Guardian Angel We believe with our heart and
intellect, that one of Gods loving angels has many
times unseen but not unfelt by us tendery watched
over US, guarded us and brought us to a safe an
chorage. And because we believe this, we allow no
sleep to close our eyes till from our very heart and
soul we thank Guardian Angel and, in no spirit

we confess to have incurred debt and an obliga-
ton to that Angel of God which we can never pay

The Kings Dog
From the London Telegraph.

fTon the London Telegraph.
 Every one knows now who Caesar ss No more human touch was ever given to any event, great or small than the pres- ence of the dog walking with his late Ma1esty's charger in Fridays procession.
 For many years past everywhere that
 King Edward went Caesar iourneyed too, and when His Majesty went abroad he enjoyed the distinction of returning With him without going into quaran- tine Thus he was often seen by visit ors to the palace ensconced in the most comfortable armchair in the kings study and warning growl or a friendly war of the tail indicated the exact relatfon- ship which visitors might be permitted to take up In the royal presence. Silk up. holstered chairs had no terrors for Cae- sar. At private meals too Caesar inva- riabiy occupied place at his masters feet, where his otherwise frugal fare of biscuits was needless to say, frequently supplemented with the choicest dainties Failing notice for any period longer than a few minutes he would sit up and beR or give his master a decided tap on the leg. What is fl. Caesar?" the kinr would say, and, as plain as barkine c6uld make it, the dog would indicate his desire to sample the fresh course on the menu when the King went on a raiY- way journey Caesar always occupied the royal saloon and sat on or near to the assortment of newspapers and books un- til His Majesty was seated. And then he would r'ake an exceedingly demon strative fuss.
 As became a dog in his position, he had a boy to look after him and generally was bathed and brushed twice a week. As also became his position, he nevee went out to exercise alone, and when ho did take walk displayed an exclusive. ness toward other dogs which was really highly commendable. On the Riviera re- gently. however. he interpreted the lax ity of royal holidays rather too freely and threatehed to demolish, for no ap. parent reason a French poodle nearly twice his size. That was the only blot on his 'scutcheon.
