RUBBING 1T IN ON JUNGLE
HENRY"

We fear that our old friend Col.
Henry Watterson of the Louisville
Courier-Journal is losing that fine
philosophy and sweet serenity that
once silvered his impetuous nature.
Listen to this ill-natured snort from
the headwaters of Bitter Creek:
Like a boy with new boots, brass
heels and toes, the New York World
disports. itself in the nomination of
Woodrow Wilson. 1t is "A New Birth
of n Freedom" says the World. 1t is
certainly a scoop" for the long-leg-
l.ged if not the long-headed boys of
the Golden Dome. They are so pleas
ed, indeed, that they include William
Jennings Bryan in their exultation.
We plead guilty to all the counts
in the colonels indictment. The
World feels about Woodrow Wilson
as Colonel Watterson felt when he
said in the Courier-Journal, July 13,
1911:
Woodrow Wilson stands before the
people today as the rarest of phenom-
ena, a public man who, elevated to
office, faithfully keeps his pre-elec-
ton promises.
The World feels as Col Watterson
felt when he said in the Courier
Journal October 8, 1911:
No democrat of modern times AS
come into the running, Samuel J. Til
den alone excepted, with half at once
of the equipment and claim of the
eminent governor of New Jersey. He
may be fairly described as the intel
! lectual, not to say moral, light of the
democracy of the new day which is
dawning upon us.
That is what Col. Watterson believ-
ed of Woodrow Wilson before he
quarreled with the governor about
Thomas F. Ryan's money and democ-
racy. That is what the World still
believes, and it is an interesting fact
that the democratic party in conven-
ton assembled formally adopted
Woodrow Wilson's opinion of Mr.. Ry-
an.
Gov. Wilson has not changed since
| Col. Watterson eulogized him as an
other Tilden, and we advise the colo
mel to readopt his former opinion of
| the democratic candidate.
AS for the World it will continue to
disport itself We regard Gov. Will
sons nomination as a magnificent tri-
umph of American selfgovernment.
This man had no bosses behind him.
He had no corrupt corporations be-
hind him. He had no political ma
chine behind him. He was nominated
by the sheer power of public opinion,
because he best embodied the issues
that confront the American people.
He owes his nomination to nobody
except himself, and to nothing except
his own mind and character.
1t is an inspiring thing to see a
great political party cast aside its
professional politicians to name for
president a scholar, a student, his.
torian, college president who has
stamped his personality upon public
life and yet has held but one political
office. 1t is a magnificent thing to
see the republic reaching out with
sure and certain touch to the man
who is pre-eminently fitted to meet a
great crisis in it's history.
If Col. Watterson had held himself
laloof from the Harvey-Wilson contro-
lversy he would now be disporting
himself with the World His new
boots would be as resplendant as
ours, and the Star-Eyed Goddess
would be in better company. than she
has been keeping for the last six

CHRISTIAN ENDEAvoR ITEMS

The American Missionary, publish
ed by the congregational church
board. has in it's July number quo
tation from the writings of Editor
Frank Harris, in the Ocala Banner.
From the weekly Endeavor column
of the Montreal Daily Witness, Que
bee Canada, We quote the following
helpful thought: You will find as
you look back upon your life that the
moments that stand out, the moments
when you have really lived, are the
moments when you have done things
in the spirit of love-"
The sad news has come, but with
few particulars, of the death OF Mr..
Murray in Ocoee. He was the faith
err of Miss Daisy, a leader OF the
Ocoee Christian church society, and
Mrs. Florence Gore, for two years
secretary of Orange and Osceola dis
trict. During a visit to the Murray
home this spring the secretary found
how youthful and true was the Chris
tian spirit of this good man. We
know that many Endeavorers wish us
TO express here for them their SYM
pathy in this bereavement coming to
genuine Christian Endeavor family.
Miss Laura Lewter, secretary of
the Orlando Presbyterian Endeavor-
ers, has taken her vacation in several
places in Tennessee. A number of
the leaders of the society are away
for a while.
Such a fine message as this from
Mrs. Denning deserved being copied
In full, we think. Surely better
work" is a good prayer for everyone
of us.
Mrs. May Denning, junior superin-
tendent in Winter Park, and for Or
ange and Oscevla district, is spending
the summer in her old home town,
Bushnell, Illinois. She writes, after
arriving: 81 attended the C. E. last
Sunday, and will try and get some
new methods while here. Had quite
talk with the president along eff
cheney lines. Have received quarter
ly blanks from our state superintend.
ent and am sending them out to my
societies. hope can do better work
/ this year. Better work is my con-
slant prayer"
Jacksonville Congregational En-.
deavorers earned the money to send
a delegate, who was their new presi
dent. Mrs. Joseph Coffin, to the Kis
simmee state convention. They did
II by holding a rummage sale. This
plan may not be as good for the small
er c. Z. town centers, but some other
way may in turn suit them better
than IL would a large city like Jack
sonville. There will be fall district
conventions coming, and we do not
think IL too soon to already be laying
plans for the getting of finances with
which to send more delegates thar
attended last year. Try to get III
something new, if possible. The
Christian Endeavor World often has
splendid ideas.
In St. Augustine Mr.. Henry w. Will
iiams. former vice president, is now
AZ the head of the Memorial Presby
terrain church society, and Miss Mar
garet Mitchell succeeded Mr.. Redford
as secretary.

kIckING-THE GOOD OF IT

In the December American Maya
zine appears an interesting little ar
ticle entitled Kicking and the Good
of It." In the first place the author
tells about a man who compelled the
postmaster in his town to sell pos.
tage stamps with the gum side up.
There is rule in the postofiice de-
partment requiring this. The point
Is that IL postage stamps are handed
out gum side down they are likely
to accumulate filth and germs.
Other stories are told after the
telling Of which the author goes on
to say:
There are two kinds of kickers:
those who Kick from anger and those
who kick dispassionately for justice
because they are good citizens. If,
through little carelessness or irri-
tation on your part you receive dis
worked and nervous public service
employee who is nagged by an i'm
patient public many hours every day,
you place yourself for the time being
in the first category, and do more
harm than good. II. however, you
notice an indisputable piece of injus-
tice to yourself and others,-an evil
dent example of many similar ones
and are willing to take the time and
trouble to bring the matter dispas.
sionately to the attention of the prop
er authorities, you join the second
category and are doing an act of
good citizenship.
do not argue with another's en-
ployee. He is hired by somebody
else, and you have no authority over
him. Do not wrangle with a hotel
servant, or shop clerk or car con-
ductor. You will only make things un
pleasant and get the worst of the
encounter. If you allow yourself to
become angry over the incident don I
do anything until the next day, and
then do not say to yourself Oh, well,
what's the use. and forget about 1t =.
Write briefly and courteously to the
highest possible authority the head
of the firm whose accounting depart.
ment persistently muddles your &C.
counts, the general passenger agent
of the railroad whose brakeman is
habitually offensive, the president OF
the telegraph company whose local
office frequently delays delivering
your messages; do not give opinions
advice nor make angry comments
merely state the facts specifically
and accurately. He will see the
point at once, and he doesn't need
your advice as he knows his owl
business better than you do. AND
he will be grateful to you, because
he cannot possibly know every littl,
detail, but he wants those details

unlawful TO
SELL TOBACCO

A circular letter Is now being sent
to every merchant In Cache County
by II. A. Peterson. Judge of the Ju.
venile court, calling their attention
to the law regarding the selling Of
tobacco to minors, and making the
request that this practice be discon-
tinued Immediately. 1t is the inten.
ton of the Juvenile officers to make
war against the use OF tobacco by
minors in this county and one of the
MIST effective ways Of Kidding the
youth of this practice which is be-
coming so universal is to insist on
dealers not to sell it to them. There
is a state law prohibiting all persons
under the age of twenty-one years
from even carrying tobacco on their
person, and ony one found guilty of
so doing, shall be guilty of a mis-
demeanor and are liable to fine not
exceeding 500. A copy of the letter
being mailed is as follows:
Information has come to us from
the officials of your town that tobac-
CO Is sold to minors by some of the
merchants of your town and that
boys OF tender years are obtaining
tobacco from dealers and are smok-
ing openly on the streets. Hence we
write you as merchant to impress
upon you the necessity of obeying
the law in this respect. OF course
We do not mean to say that you have
sold tobacco to minors, but We mean
to caution you in regard to this Of
tense. For no minor under the age
Of eighteen years has the right to
buy any tobacco, and no merchant
has the right to sell any tobacco to
a minor, even though he may bring
an order from his parents or some
one else. All boys under the age OF
eighteen years who break this law
are handled by the Juvenile court
and all those who sell or give tobac.
co to minors are likewise handled by
the same court. We have been a
little lenient in this matter, but this
occurs so frequently now among mer
chants that we thought in order to
be fair to everybody, to write the
merchants and inform them of the
law in regard to this matter, so II
anything should happen in the future
there could be no excuse as to ig
norance of the law.
The law as amended in 1911 reads

LAND EROSION sTUPENooUs

The surface of the United States is
being removed at the rate Of thirteen
ten.thousandths Of an inch a year,
or l inch in 100 years, according to
the United States Geological Survey.
Though this amount seems trivial
when spread over the surface Of the
country, it becomes stupenduous
when considered as total, for over
270,000,000 tons of dissolved matter
and 513,000,000 tons Of suspended
matter are transported to tidewater
every year by the streams Of the
United States. This total OF 7S3,000,-
600 tons represents more than $780,
100000 cubic yards of rock substance
or 610,000,000 cubic yards of surface
soil. If this erosive action had been
concentrated upon the Isthmus of
Panama at the time of American &C.
cupation it would have eXcavated the
prism for an So foot level canal in
about 70 days.
The amounts removed from differ
ent drainage basins show urercs ing
comparisons. In respect to dissolved
matter, the southern Pacific basin
heads the list with 1T tons per
square mile per year, the northern
Atlantic basin being next with 1870
tons. The rate for the Hudson Bay
basin, 2S tons, is lowest; that for
the Colorado and western Gulf of
Mexico basins is somewhat higher.
The denudation estimates for the
southern Atlantic basin correspond
very closely to those for the entire
United States. The amounts are
generally lowest for streams in the
arid and semiarid regions, because
large areas there contribute little or
nothing to the run-off. The southern
Pacific basin is an important excep-
ton to this general rule. presumably
because of the extensive practice Of
irrigation in that area. The amounts
are highest in regions of high rain
fall, though usually the waters in
those sections are not so higly min
eralized as the waters Of streams in
arid regions.

Senator Works said both Roose-

Harvester trust with the natural re-
suit that Mr.. Perkins had been one
of the chief Roosevelt hackers in

HYDE PARK NEWS

Hyde Park, Dec. S.-There were
many expressions OF sorrow and re-
greet heard here when the sad news
reached us Of the sudden death Of
Hon. David Eccles. Mr.. Eccles was
highly respected by all who were &C
qusinted with him here. Many kind
words were said of him and Of the
great blessings he has been an in
strument in bestowing. Few men in
Utah have done more In a financial
way for the common people than he.
GAS time passes and his great work is
7be.ter understood he will be loved
and missed the more. The sugar
beet industry of which he was one
Of the leaders, has added many thou
sands of dollars to Hyde Park. All
honor to David Eccles. He will long
live in the memory of the people Of
Hyde Park.
At divine services here today Mr..
Joseph Nielsen delivered a powerful
and convincing testimony to the d.
vinity Of the Book of Mormon and the
divine calling of the Prophet Joseph
Smith many Of the theories Of the
skeptics and disbelievers in the Book
of Mormon were discussed and then
criticisms answered with scriptural
passages, sound reason and scientific
proofs. We regret that there were
not more of our young people there
to hear him.
For several years past Hyde Park
has been blessed with an excellent
orchestra known as the BALKAN orch
estra. Lately there has been quite
a demand for these talented musici-
ans in other towns, and we could
not always have music Just when
needed. A new orchestra was formed
a short time ago with Mr.. Robert
Christoffersen as director and Will
