REFORMING The CALENDAR.

Another change in the calendar has
been suggested, and the plan is said
to have made an impression upon the
pope. It was through the Roman pom
tiff Gregory that our present method
of dividing the year into Ss6 days with
an extra day every fourth year, was
adopted. The Catholic church. at the
time the Gregorian calendar came
into common use, was supreme in many
countries, and the wishes Of the pope
were readily carried out. There were
some rulers, however, who declined to
follow the lead Of Rome. Great Britain,
for instance, did not adept the new cal
endar until the 18th day OF February
1882. yet we celebrate the 22d because
at the time Great Britain adopted the
Gregorian calendar we were eleven days
behind the Catholic countries. and in
order to catch up 1t became necessary
TO call the 18th the 22d. Russia and
the Mohammedan countries still cling
to their ancient methods, principally
owing to religious prejudice. Russia
is now 10 days behind the rest of Eu-
rope. The followers of Mahomet have q
system peculiarly their own for mark
ing time, their clocks being reset daily
Until recently the Gregorian calendar
was supposed to be the very acme Of
perfection. so the latest proposition has
been received with more or less sur.
prise. 1t is now proposed that the yeal
shall contain exactly fifty-two weeks
New Years being regarded as a day
apart from the numbered days OF tn,
month, and also leap year day wheI
it occurs. The result Of amending In,
calendar in this manner would be tina
the year would always begin on Mon
day, July 4 would invariably fall OF
Wednesday, Christmas on Tuesday
Washington's birthday on Thursda,
and Lincoln's birthday on Sunday
Another feature Of the proposed in
novation is to observe Easter Sunda,
on April Z, making unnecessary tn,
elaborate calculations now used to de
termine the proper time for the OBJ
servance Of this Christian festival
There is some doubt as to the acqui
escenee of Plus x in this part Of tn
program. In fact, It Is doubtful If an,
Of the great nations OF the world woul,
adopt the new calendar on the spur 0
the moment. The present agitation
simply serves to show the possibilit,
Of a change some time in the future.

CHANGING THEIR METHODS.

The prosecution of some of thu great
corporations under the Sherman law
has accomplished considerable good in
spite of the fact that the supreme court
has failed TO render an opinion in the
cases. Some of the smaller concerns,

NO SEEING AMERICA FIRST.

The transatlantic steamship com
panies and the shopkeepers and hotel
keepers of Europe are sure of a rich
harvest of American dollars this year.
Cabin accommodations in every steamer
leaving the port Of New York between
April 10 and August / have been sold
to tourists from this country who &C
abroad to spend their money. The rush
is so great that people who put in
their applications for berths or state
rooms six weeks ago failed to get their
names upon the passenger lists. Some
of these people may know something
about the land of their birth, though
the percentage is doubtless small. It
is a notorious fact that many of them
upon being questioned about the Yell
lowstone national park. the Yosemite
valley, the big trees and other wonders
of this country by Europeans who have
Travelled, show a woeful lack of knowl-
edge. There are many places in Eu-
than the wonders of nature at home.
The slogan of "See America First" is
evidently not being needed to any great
extent by the wealthy class in the east
ern states. 1t should be. Before going
abroad each and every one of them
should be able to talk intelligently
about his or her own country, and not
be confined to telling the foreigners
about the single city in which they
happen to reside when they finally take
the ocean voyage. AS a matter of fact,
the eastern. people are growing more
provincial every day. When they cease
chasing the almighty dollar for a I'm
tied length of time and seek rest and
relaxation, instead OF coming to the
boundless west they fight for passage
to Europe. Perhaps that is one reason
tween the two sections of the country.
The advent Of the American men and
women with money in Europe is a god

publican's special cable service from
Paris, it is stated that the gay capt.
tai is already filling up with Americans,
and that there is great rejoicing IN
consequence. The pilgrims pay the top
prices for everything they buy, and are
easy victims for that class of Parisians
who make their living by looking after
tourists with more money than expert
ence. While the amount of cold cash
taken out of the United States 'acn
year and spent in Europe cannot be
estimated, it will doubtless run into the
hundreds Of millions. Taken in con-
nection with the sums secured by the
titled Europeans who capture Ameri-
can brides, the total will probably reach
an appalling amount. No other coun-
try on earth could stand such a drair
upon its cash resources and avoid q
financial crash. The one consoling re-
Election Is that the United States Is
more than passing rich, and that some
of the poor devils over the water would
probably starve without the American
dollars being constantly tossed into
/ their laps.

INSURGENTS ALONE TO BLAME.

While the insurgents are doing their
best to block the efforts of the regular
Republicans under the leadership Of
President Taft to enact much needed
legislation, the Democrats are playing
politics and also dolag their best to
make capital for the coming campaign.
Every day some member of the House
hobs up with an attack upon the adj
ministration, banking upon the support
cf the insurgents to bring the Presi-
dent and his advisers into disrepute
No wonder Speaker Cannon Is unable to
control his Indignation and leaves The
chair occasionally to hurI defiance at
these treacherous nl=n who ara con-
tinually playing into the hands of the
members Of the deposition party. No
wonder the Republican leaders who are
endesvoring to carry out the wishes
of the party as expressed in the Chi
cage platform, should rise up in their
wrath and denounce these granger poll
ticians from the central west who have
betrayed every trust imposed In them.

There are doubtless many similar in
stances of the smaller fry getting in

in court at the present time have been
forced to abandon many of their prac-
tees. So the commercial atmosphere
will be clarified to considerable ex-
tent long before the supreme cour'

Peruna a Family Necessity.

4ARpsAIPs OF PIONEERS.

As illustrative of the obstacles placed
in the way OF those who endeavor to
open up a new section Of country and
build homes for their families, the I'M
fortunate plight of a number Of settlers
who located at Gainesville, In this state,
may be mentioned. These men had
little irrigation system by means OF
which they brought their farms under
cultivation. The severe storms of last
year destroyed the irrigation canal and
this season the needed water is lot
available. They cannot rebuild the
canal because the hillside has been
swept bare CT soil and left the rock ex-
posed. In order to construct Irrigation
works of a substantial nature, 1T would
be necessary to blast the solid rock OF
the hill and then cement the creviees.
The settlers cannot raise the m 'ney
and needs must give up their little hold
ings and seek new homes. It is learned
from the Richfiela Reaper that six Of
them have secured faFms on the Mans
field ranch near Teasdaie through the
efforts OF the church authorities, for
which they will pay in the course Of
time. OF the other families two have
moved to Grover and two still remain at
Gainesville. with no prospect of raising
crop.
1t Is seid that Colorado capitalists,
with an eye 10 the main chance regard
less OF the needs and necessities OF
others, are buying up these lands at
Gainesville, and. being possessed of
money enough TO rebuild the irrigation
canal, win reap a rich reward. The
amount Of improvements was not taken
into consideration, and the sums paid
ridiculously small. Bishop Hanks was
one of the distressed settlers. He owned
a well-fenced farm, with orchard,
houses, stables and barn, and was
forced to give It up to the Grand juno
ton spectators at $3.50 per acre be-
cause they would not purchase the land
Of the other settlers at any price unless
they could get possession of this fine
tract So the bishop sacrificed his hold
ings for the common good.
People who dwell in the cities and
towns have no idea of the amount of
the toll required, the hardships and
privations to be endured by the surrey
pioneers in their efforts to make the
desert smile. The first generation in a
new country rarely reaps the reward
of honest endeavor. It is the ones who
come later who are enabled TO enjoy
life to the fullest extent. Too much
praise cannot be bestowed upon the
men and women who have blazed The
trail for those who come after them.
The ten families who met with dis
aster at Gainesville have the sympathy
of the people of the entire state. The
adverse winds will not always blow
nor the storms break upon their devoted
heads. Being made of the right kind U.
stuff, they will seek out other place:
and build their homes anew. The true
pioneer never becomes disheartened.
