THE REAL HINDRANCES.

the efforts of those who undertook to

a view of through. water traffic from
New York to San Francisco is probably.
erroneous or at least premature. 1t Is
not necessary 10 allegc that the TAU
road interests have been the chief fac
tor, or indeed any factor at all, IN
bringing about this result, even IT the
report of the failure to raise money
for the enterprise should eventually
prove TO he true, for a good many
problems enter into the case. First OF
all, there must he settled the question
of freights on the GsthmISn canal. The
contention made In some quarters, even
in our own country, that the United
States is bound by treaty not to give
preference to our own ships passing
through that canal is an evident fal-
lacy. All that we have engaged TO do
in that matter is to treat the ships
OF all nations on a perfect equality. but
clearly this may reserve our own snip.
ping from that equal treatment Be-
cause. since it is our canal. we may
do what we ike with our own. and IT
no discrimination is made as between
foreign nations that is all that those
nations can require under the treaty.
Since Congress mas so far failed to
legislate on canal questions that ought
to be settled promptly and that prob
ably will he settled at the coming #cs-
sion of Congress, il is too early 10 say

MAYOR BRANsFoRD TO QUIT.

The announcement that Mayor Brans.

mayor of Salt Lake City after his term

would seem. however, that he might
well waive the delicacy OF sentiment
which actuates him IN this, since his
foes have not been in the least scrnpu-
lous in charging all sorts Of villainy
upon him. falsely and scandalously, and
he has hitherto contcmptuously ignored
all such assaults. lie has paid prac-
ticslly no attention to those things

against advice that would have put him
in a different channel,
II is true that he was elected for a
term Of two years, hut it is also true
that until his successor is legally
elected and qualified be would be en-
titled TO hold over until lawful pro.
vision is made for his successor. That
is the general rule of the statute and

THE BIG BEAR HUNT.

1t will be remembered that when
President Roosevelt was in the last lap
of his Presidency he went on famous
bear hunt in the swamps of Mississippi
He came out of that hunt angry and
discontented, The speech that he made
in Memphis WAS so bitter. so Gcrccly
threatening upon the corporations, that
a good many have traced tho panic of
1907 TO that speech as its origin. At
any rate there seems 10 be no doubt
that President Roosevelt came out of
that hunt In a very ilI-naturcd frame of
mind. lt was the least successful hunt
apparently that he had ever taken part
in and he was perhaps disappointed and
sore accordingly,
1t IS interesting TO note that Thurs
day Of this week, November 23rd, is set
for another great bear hunt 10 which
Col Roosevelt has been invited. This
is TO be in tho Ocmulgcc swamps on
the plantation Of Mr. Monroe Phillips,
who has a huge plantation forty miles
below Macon, Ga, and who has for "A
long time been keeping in mind the
idea of this hunt, preparing for it and
saving up his bears for it, lie csti-
mates that there are at least two hun
dred bears now concealed in the Ocmu-
gee swamp, and he has invited some
eighty bear hunters to take part In the
sport of hunting them. He has eau
tiously framed his invitation 50 as 90
exclude every one except bona hdc
huu,smen. this with the idea, no doubt,
of preventing the hunters from shoot
ing each other IS has 50 often acct
deDtally happened in the hunting sea
son and hunting trips throughout the
country. There viii be good MANY
kennels Of bear dogs present and it is
eTpectcd that the hunt will be one OF
the greatest ever had IN America. We
dc not sec any note that Col. Roose-
welt has accepted the invitation 10 be-
present at this hunt. but II il hoped
thai he may be. and that his luck viii

PERSIA ASKS INTERVENTION

The report is that Persia is seeking
the intervention Of the powers to save
her from being dismcmbcrcd by Russia
and Great Britain. 1t is an appeal,
however, that is likely TO fan upon deaf
cars, because there would seem to be
no interests powerful enough TO inter
venc. The possible exception might he
Germany, but Germany could be easily
quicted by Great Britain with the as
surance that the Bagdad railway would
bc allowed its route and terminal. And
so poor Persia is likely TO suffer, mainly
because she wanted to reorganiZe her
finances on an honest basis
Those VINO have been so fearful about
the invasion Of Tripoli by Italy have
here on even better opportunity for
tears than before Here is an empire
that was large and great at almost
the very dawn of human history. 1t
has survived a good many shocks and
undergone many changes Of rulers, has
lived under many conflicting, dynasties,
but all the time has been Persia, the
great. the mysterious, the land of ro.
nance, of .chlrary and of imagination,
It has Survived the conquest of the
Greeks. Of the Romans, of the Turks;
the Mohammcdan invasion left it an inn
pcrial entity: even the overwhelming
food of Tartaric and succeeding Tur-
CONAN invasions left it intact But now
1t appears IN danger of oblitcration as
an empire, Its splendid, romantic his
tory is about to come TO an end, not
through any fault Of its own, but
only because, after centuries of thleVcry
and graft in the imperial finances, an
American fnoncicr has been installed
10 insist upon honesty and business
like methods in the collection and dis
bursement of the public revenues and
has been able to enforce his views. 1T
is a pitifui end to tremendous and
long continued career, and there appears
TO be no voice raised in protest, no ef
fectual act done or even proposed to
stop the spoliation.
And this just as the sentiment for
peace throughout the world has greater
vogue and a mghtier influence than
ever before known among mon. it would
seem as though there ought TO be some
means to call halt on this unrighteous
invasion and partition Of Persia, With
no helping power in sight 1t looks as
though the ancient empire, with its
shining career, its contact with the
greatest things that have ever been
known among men. must be drowned in
a pool of dishonesty. iniqulty, avarice
and unscrupulous greed.

Election of School Directors.

Candidates for nominations for school
director under the provisions Of the new
school code will be required to specify
on their nominating petitions this fall
the term which they aspire to be elected
and when nominations are made the
length of term will be placed after the
name of the Office on the general election
ballot in November.
This ruling was made at the Office of
the Secretary of the Commonwealth in
response to inquiries from a number of
counties as to the manner in which
length of term for which men are to be
nominated is to be determined. Under
the provisions of the school code, direct
ors will be elected in group: For six,
four and two years terms. Each sspi-
rant for a nomination must decide and
announce the term for which he will be a
candidate and cumulative voting or con-
solidation of votes a man may receive
will not be permitted, it being the opin-
ion of the state officials that each term
constitutes a separate office.

THE word "Yiddish," the name of a
language used by German and other
Jews, being middle German dialect de-
veloped under Hebrew aud Slavic infiu-
ences, is an evolution from the word "Ju-
dah," or "Judea." When the Hebrew
race settled in Palestine portion of that
country was known as Judea, or in He
brew, "Ye-hu-dah." The people were
frequently referred to as Yehuds, and
eventually the Jew in general was called
"Yud." Later, after the exile from
Palestine, this was corrupted to "Yid,"
and the language, as well as other char
acteristics of the Jews, was described as
Yiddish. Recently the word "Yiddish''
has come into general use and is now
recognized as permanent acquisition to
the English language.-Punxy Spirit

THE people of the United States are
steadily deserting the country and the
farm for turmoil and delights of city and
town, according to statistics made public
by the census bureau. During the last
ten years the percentage of people living
in cities or other incorporated places OF
more than $500 inhabitants increased
from 4O5 TO 46.S OF the total. Twenty
years ago only 36.l per cent of the total
population lived in such incorporated
places. In classifying the 1910 census re-
turns the bureau calls that portion of the
population in the incorporated cities or
towns of $500 or more inhs bitants urban
and the remainder rural. On this basis,
in 1910. A., ,623, ,Sss or 46 8 per cent of the
total, lived in urban territory, and 49,
