"HERE's TO THE GOVERNOR. "

The insolent brutality of one of the San Fran
cisco supervisors, an expugilst and former bruis-
er, who sneered at a clergyman's protest against
the Jeffries-J ohnson fight, did much to disgust
the sef-respecting public with the gang" and
no doubt had much to do in assisting the Governor
of California to make up his mind to act" "Prize

bruiser; "why, it is not prize fight 1t is an ar

Where do we in Salt Lake stand on the CUES
tion of prize fighting? At Saltair few weeks ago
there was a "set-to" quite as brutal as the JEFF
fries-J ohnson fight in Nevada is apt to be. Here,
also, permit the moving pictures of prize fights
We dare say that already arrangements have been
made to display the films of the Jeffries-J ohnson
fight in this city. If prize fights have demoraliz-
ing effect upon the spectators realistic pictures
of them must have demoralizing influence on the
boys and young men who crowd to see them.
Richard was given to understand that Utah
would not tolerate his fight, yet probably 10000 Of
our people will pay money to enjoy the battle IN
the faithful films. In Congress, Representative
Walter Smith has introduced an anti-prize fight
bill which prohibits the transportation of any pic
ture or description of any prize fight encounter

account of betting on the same Is it not time for
our legislature to take hand in the game and
call the "standpatters" of pugilism in our state
and of fight pictures in our city?
Pugilism at its best was not better than cock

"Ships that sailed for sunny isles,
But never came to shore"

When perfect ship goes to sea she goes pro-
vided with spare sails, extra spars extra cordage
and spare stores or provisions-the additional ma
terials with which to reft or sustain herself and
her crew, should she be crippled in gale or dis
masted In a storm.
But immeasurably more beautiful than the full
rugged ship cleaving the water, more supremacy
valuable, attractive and pleasant to look upon, is
the fair young girl who has finished her convent
training, bids goodbye" to her teachers and COM
panions, and enters upon the sea of life.
She has been carefully, even tenderly prepared
for her voyage through life, every detail of her
education anticipated and wrought out, and now,
with the eagerness of the blind man on his way to
the pool of Siloe she enters upon her freedom But
before her stretches perilous ocean as that
on which the ship is sailing, and, if she be WISE
she will have care over herself and continue to
surround herself with the best precautions against
the possibility of every disaster. 1t is more than
an exceptional anomaly, it is an awful social mys-
terry, that, from childhood young woman has
been building up a character-a character of de-
Cency, of responsibility, of clean living-heped in
the meritorious work by her parents and instruc-
tors, and by the deep damnation of one false step
may destroy it completely 1t is pitable to reflect
that the good name which represents years of self
respect, careful attention and Christian lfe may
by one act of folly be blotted out in a moment.
1t takes years to acquire reputation it takes but
g minute to destroy it.
From the Catholic young girl trained in a con-
vent much is expected. 1t is the exception when
such a girl does not carry herself with the mien
and grace of culture and refinement. Vulgarity, IL
cense slang and loudness are so foreign to the con-
vent bred girl that society will not believe that,
where these social blemishes abound, there could
ever have been convent training no matter how
loudly she asserts her prerogative
The eye of suspicion is ever fixed on the young
girl who toerates familiarity, who is seen where
moral cleanliness ought not to be seen, whose
looks invite admiration and attention, and whose
conduct has about it a suggestion of impropriety
Even the girl who publicly chews gum comes under
the arch of criticism and proyokes innuendos and
remarks damaging to her responsibility. Loudness
in speech, manner dress is thing which
young girl cannot afford Delicacy is something

THE TELESCOPE.
CALLERS Rude Instrument the First

Callers Rude Instrument the First
Used In Astronomy.
The first telescope was pointed to-
ward the sky on Jan Z, 1910, when
Galilei first tried his rude instrument
and was rewarded by discovering some
Of the moons of Jupiter. No great
magnifying power was needed for this,
as at least one of the moons is large
enough to be seen by the naked eye
did not the nearness of the brilliant
planet prevent this. Lenses had been
known for long time and were at
that time in common use by near
sighted persons.
The name of the real discoverer of
the telescope seems to be unknown,
but the accepted story now is that
two young sons Of a Middebury op-
tician named Lippersley some time
between 1905 and 1908. while playing
with some lenses. happened to hold
two Of them at a distance from each
other and were surprised and delight
ed to find that the weather vane on a
neighboring tower seemed to come
near them when looked at through the
two lenses. In April. 1909. little
telescope made in Holland was offered
for sale In Paris.
The next month Galilei. then a pro-
fessor in the university at Padua
heard of this instrument and realized
at once its importance in the study OF
astronomy. From the description OF
the Dutch instrument he had one
made at once. and in August he as.
founded the people of Venice by show
ing them from the top of the cam
panile persons entering the doors OF
the church at MuraDo. This spyglass
was less than two inches in diameter
and magnified three times. From this
crude instrument of Galilei to the

THE TERRIBLE BATHoLITE.
Molten Rock That Bores Upward

Molten Rock That Bores Upward
Through tho Earth's Crust.
Batholite is a term invented by the
great German geologist Eduard Suess
to describe the gigantic intrusions of
molten rock which. according to him.
bore their way upward through the
crust of the earth from the eternal
depths below, cutting through the
strata and folds Of the mountains very

These batholites Turk deep In the

their way to the surface above them.
Generally they issue in the form Of
tremendous domes of hot rock. tower
ing up to mountain heights and often
giving birth to volcanoes. When a
batholite. as sometimes happens. does
not reach the surface its roof opens
in network of assures, lava pours
out and a whole group of volcanoes
appears at that point.
Suess has recognized the remains Of
| many cooled batholites on various
parts of the earth's surface, and he
says that the consolidated crust of the
earth, even at the present day. may
be exposed to these mighty intrusions
from below. The batholites bring up
with them many metals from the in
terror of the planet, and rich mines
are often opened in the bikes that are
thus formed

more prodigious in extent.
Sometimes they have been worn
down nearly to the general level. but

TIE LEGISLATIVE JOKER.
Easy Way In Which tho Intent of
Law May Be Chanqed.

Law May Be Changed.
"A joker in its simplest form con-
sists in word or a clause which. in
troduced into proposed legislation,
filches away from the public it's power
to establish such laws as it desires.
either by emasculating an enactment
or by perverting the essence and pur-
pose of it." So writes Samuel Hop
kins Adams in American Magazine,
and he cites these instances of how
the joker game is worked:
sometimes it is in one word. as
where the sale of piece of public
property to the lowest bidder was once
authorized. Sometimes it may inhere
in that elusive character. the comma.
as in the case of the tariff clause of an
old schedule providing for the free en-
try Of fruit plants. where somebody
carelessly allowed comma to creep
in between fruit and plants thereby
admitting millions of oranges and lem
ons into the country duty free and
costing the treasury hundreds of thou
sands of dollars in loss of imports.
Nobody ever found out whether this
was printers slip or a carefully de-
vised scheme. Certain it is that the
trainers of the schedule never intend
ed it.
again, the entire body of the pro
viso may constitute the joker by pur-
porting to carry one meaning when It
in reality carries quite another Con
gress still preserves the tradition Of
the Irish representative from Massa-
chusetts who proposed that March II
be made legal holiday in celebration
Of the Boston tea party Several
New Englanders whose zeal exceeded

associated with the supposed birth of
the proposer's patron saint than with
the destruction of the obnoxious tea.
