AT THE RISK OF. DOING Harm.

We are not entirely sure that it is
wise to say of the new Suderman book,
Song of Songs" what of right ought
to be said of it,. Should the condemna
ton prove a spur 70 curiosity, and
readers of the criticism become readers
Of the book, then what shall be here
said is error. and the writer shall for
ever regret it.
But one gets to feeling friendly in
terest in his readers: a sort of fatherly
regard for them; a wish that they may
all be happy And out of that comes
suggestion Of a good book now and
then-like 1.-The Post Girl" or the Eve
leen Stein poems. Why not, with equal
care and love for these readers, warn
against the books which in reason and
good morals they should not read?
From beginning to end the Suderman
story is a lying indecency. OF course,
the modern generation of readers is not
made up of prudes. One may read
"Strathmore," and Brand" and "Su-
perman." But there is limit beyond
which decent readers need not pass.
And they can't read the Song of
Songs" without passing that limit.
Here is a woman left desolate by the
desertion of her father and the insanity
of her mother, and beginning battle
with the world at the age of sixteen.
There seems to be about twenty years
between that and the closing of the
book. And it is a rather tamely told
recital of her infidelities. her utter and
needless departures from virtue, her
curiously persistent SHINING. There is
no warrant for half the incidents. They
begin before the middle of the book to
appear a Catalogues working out of
the authors idea that no woman in the
world is pure and virtuous; that all of
them are looking-more or less intently
for safe and alluring opportunities to
go wrong. Mother, maid or wife-it is
ali the same.
And there is no moral at the end of
it. This is not another 'Sister The
resa," who atones in beautiful service
for a too imprisoned youth. Here is
simply a sordid marriage with the man
whose mistress she has been-and to
whom she has been untrue a host of
times. And that is the last step of deg
radiation in a degraded career-a career
the reading of which leaves one with
sense of having shared the smut of it,
the gratuitous sin of it. About it all
clings what old John Antrobus cafis
''the wicked stencil of the harlot's
room" Simply bestial, simply animal,
simply sordid, it carefully declares its
heroine a type of German women; and
it makes the book pretend to mirror the
woman of all the world-and there is no
virtue in them.
Besides which, 1.-The Song of Songs"
is indifferently written or badly trans
lated far better story could be made
by any reporter in Salt Lake.

With both boys and girls fifteen seems
to be the danger year. And the lesson

Defeating THEIR PLAY
GROUND.

Los Angeles people have just dedi-
Gated another playground for children.
They had flag raising, number of
races and exhibitions on the new de-
vices provided, and some speeches by
members OF the council and the play
grounds committee. They made il
quite an affair
When they were through, the grown
ups went away, and the children took
possession of their new realm-the hap
piest little people imaginable. And in
their JOY at the provision the city had
made for them, the people Of that city
found their sufficient reward.
Salt Lake is coming Up to the very
same situation. Never behind the other
leading cities of the country, Salt Lake

THE REBOUND FROM PiNcHo1

Mr.. Clifford Pinchot is admirably
equipped to win the plaudits of the
crowd which doesn't know. And con-
sciousness of that has made him over
play his hand. There is going to be a
rebound from Pinchot as a result of
this investigation by the Congressional
committee.
When it is all over. the Ballinger ad-

MANKIND SEEMS TO NEED
RELIGION.

One of the facts rather forcibiy inn
pressed by the activity OF missionary
| workers in the city during most of the
past week, is this: Mankind, after all,
| needs a religious faith. Some men
seem able to get along with a very lit
it monopolizes their whole life But
here and everywhere human nature is
about the same. And everywhere
when he allows himself to be honest
with himself-man recognizes nature as
too big for him.
He may understand nothing, he may
understand great deal But whether
much or little he sees beyond the
frontiers Of his cognizanee a limitless,
boundless space that he does not I'M
derstand. and never can. In daytime
and in night, in sorrow and in joy, in
prosperity and in adversely, the mo-
ments come when he knows there is a
force greater than man. And he is
happy who can invest that force with
! lovable qualities, and make himself
over in the image of the God he has
enshrined in his heart.
Here are many men yesterday indif-
ferent to the heathen in distant lands;
caring nothing whether those heather
were happy or miserable, bond or free;
and today wishing even those heather
were more fortunately circumstanced;
wishing they might have a loftier con-
ception of the great Force that rules
| the universe. And in the backwater of
that flood of sympathetic sentiment,
the hearts of the Indifferent are melted
and made clean.
They didn't much like the God that
had been presented to them from boy
hood. They could better get along
without Him than they could without
their reason. So they kept their rea-
son-and lost their God. But in the
broadening, blessed gospel of a uni
versal SaVior-a Savior who knows no
peculiar people, but loves all; in the
light of a religion which knows no
geography; in the music of an anthem
which every human being may sing
the average man finds he can best ex-
ercise his reason by going back to his
God!

DRY. Minneapolis isn't safe for any dog
that doesn't stay at home. Omaha sim
ply does not tolerate the chasing and
the swamp barkings. And Portland peO-
pie say they can't remember when any,
thing of that sort offended their eyes.
Meantime, the dogs don't seem to

There is the order to make an end of

ONE THING THAT Puzzles.


Generally, everything the state of
Utah does is right. Usually everything
done rests on sound reason and good
Judgment. But the states continued
willingness to get along without cap
itol building, and without homa for
the Governor-there is a phase of public
thought which is not easily understood.
TO say that the state doesn't need a
capitol will not settle the matter. be-
cause the state does need capitol And
to say that if the Governor doesn't like
TO hunt his own house, other men who
are willing to do so can be found-that
does not settle the matter of a guber-
Material mansion. either.
Our state pays the Governor four
thousand dollars year. and he
is general manager OF a business
paying out three million dollars a
year, and directing interests of
vastly greater value, and shaping
the affairs of men over the whole
face of the commonwealth. And
either Governor Wells or Governor Cut
Ter did. or that Governor Spry is doing,
would be worth FIVE times the money to
any concern engaged in a business of
similar Importance.
Out of his salary the Governor is re-
quired to spend a good deal of money in
entertainments that really express the
attitude of the state. He could not
forego the expenditure in many cases
without inflieting injury on the good
name of his state. And yet not even his
home is provided him!
We don't know that either the present
or any former Governor considers that
he should have house at the expense
of the state. But there seems no escape
from the conviction that the man who
is Governor ought to have home at
the states charge. And it ought to be
good one.
In the matter of the state capitol.
there is an absolute demand. One may
pass the question of a gubernatorial
will be good fellows" and not mind it
much even if they are neglected. But
there isn't a record of the state which
is not an eloquent plea for secure es-
tablishing in a building of the state. In
some of the offices there are no vaults
at all. In others there are vaults that
will neither protect from fire nor de-
fend against the burglar. And even
they can be in rented quarters, they are
scattered all over a large and growing
city.
We believe the Governor is warranted
in beginning work on the capitol Of
Utah. If our people were poor, the case
would be different. But they are rich.
They suffer by comparison with Mon
tana. and with Wyoming. and with
Idaho. These Utah people are home
owners themselves, and yet they have
permitted their state to go without that
very necessary evidence of place i'll ma
tional existence.
Here is a site for the best capitol in
the west. Here are the people worthy
of fine building. Here in the posses
sion of the state are funds that may be
legally devoted to the work of capitol
building-an enterprise contemplated in
the very constitution of Utah. And we
trust the advisers of Governor Spry
may provide him with reasons inducing
the beginning of that work which is
confidently believed to be necessary for
the continued good repute of the state
