Although the importance of the under
class football team has not reached the
height In Utah which It has attained
among the larger colleges OF the east.
1t is rapidly gaining and bids fair to re-
ceive its just recognition In the near fu-
ture. The great trouble that has con-
fronted the freshmen in the past at the
university has been the lnck of proper
methods of training. For the most part
the men who try for the team are mex
perienced and need more attention than
the regular varsity men. It has taken
all of the coach's time In the past TO
look after the first team and It has not
been the good fortune of the athletic
council TO get man who has the ability
and time TO give the underclassmen

the trusts and the tariff towards the
high cost of living. There will re-
main many other elements. Wrong
taxation, including failure to tax
swollen inheritances and unused land
and other natural resources held for
speculative purposes, is one of these
elements. The modern tendency to
leave the country for the town is an
other element; and exhaustion of the
soil and poor methods of raising and
marketing the products of the soil
make up another element, as / have
already shown. Another element is
that of waste and extravaganza, indi-
vidual and national No laws which
the wit of man can devise will avail
to make the community prosperous
if the average individual lives in such
fashion that the expenditures always
exceed his income.
National eXtravagance-that is,
the expenditure of money which is
not warranted-we can ourselves
control, and to some degree we can
help in doing away with the extrava
gance caused by international rival
ries.
These are all definite methods by
which something can be accom-
plished in the direction of decreasing
the cost of living. All taken togeth-
er will not fully meet the situation
There are in it elements which as yet
we do not understand. We can be
certain that the remedy proposed by
the democratic party is quack rem
edy. 1t is just as emphatically a
! quack remedy as was the Quack rem
edy, the panacea, the universal cure
all which they proposed 16 years ago.
1t is instructive to compare what
they now say with what they said in
! 1896. Only 16 years ago they were
telling us that the decrease in prices
was fatal to our people, that the fan
in the production of gold and, as a
consequence, the fall in the prices o.
commodities, was responsible for our
ills. Now they ascribe these ills to
diametrically opposite causes, such
as the rise in price of commodities.
1t may well be that the immense out
put of gold during the last few years
is partly responsible for certain
phases of the present trouble-which
is an instructive commentary on the
wisdom of those men who 16 years
ago insisted that the remedy fol-
everything was to be found in the
mere additional output of coin, sill.
yer and gold alike. There is no more
curious delusion than that the demo,
cratic platform is a progressive plat
form. The democratic platform, rep
resenting the best thought of the ac
knowledged democratic leaders a
Baltimore, is purely retrogressivt
and reactionary. There is no prog
ress in it. 1t represents an effort t.
I go back; to put this nation of 100,
I 900, existing under modern con
ditions, back to where it was as
nation of 25,0OO,000 in the days o
the stagecoach and canalboat. Sucl
an attitude is toryism, not progress
ivism.

The Life of a Town.

1t takes live men to make a live
town. Dead men are only fit to in
habit cemeteries. If they are really
decently dead, dead all over, we ten
derly lay them away in the sleep of
the tomb, but if they are only dead
in all enterprise and spirit, outside of
the narrow limits of their own self
ishness, and yet persist in walking
around, moving their calloused
hearts and consciences where real
business is wont to pulse and throb
with vigor, they are really like the
drone bees, in the way until they are
stung to death and dragged outside
of the hive of legitimate industry.
Twelve really live men are worth
more to a town generally than a
round full thousand of such useless
material that lays around like rub
bish in a rushing stream that is ach-
ing and foaming to turn mills and
factories. Yes, live men bless and
dead men curse town.

Conditions Are Improving.

Business conditions are getting
brighter every day, in the Pacific
northwest. The lumber industry has
never been more prosperous. So
heavy is the demand for lumber that
the price of logs is advancing stead
ilyS The supply houses also report
a brisk sale of mill machinery and
equipment. Cities large and small
all report important building opera

several states have heavier crops
than ever before. To move them, the
railroads are adding to their rolling
stock So material is the increasing
freight business of the Oregon-Wash-
ington Railroad & Navigation Com
pany that it is adding 100000 ad-
dition to its freight house facilities
in Seattle.

THE SOCIALIST SERPENT.

If President Taft carefully goes
over his expansive bosom with fine
toothed horse rake he may find a
socialistic serpent harboring there.
A week ago Secretary of the In
terror Walter Fisher publicly recon-
mended free grants of coal lands to
municipalities by the federal govern
ment He at once follows this by a
regulation under which cities may
have practically free water, by aid of
the government. He proposes leases
on water power on public lands, the
service and prices to be controlled by
the state authorities.
1t does seem as if some of us
statesmen are hurrying to get right
into socialism.

CITY OF MUNICIPAL OWNER
SHIP.

1From the Topeka, Kan, Capital.)
The Chanute Tribune prints
story of the experience of that town
with municipal ownership of public
utilities that probably gives Chanute
the premier place in Kansas in its
successful operation of such plants.
For seventeen years Chanute has
conducted its own waterworks. 9th
er cities in the state have been in
the business longer, but Chanute's
waterworks are nearly paid out. The
total debt against them is but $24,-
600, and at the same time it is as
serted by the Tribune that the water
rate in Chanute is lower today than
in any other city in Kansas.
This same claim is set up by the
Tribune for the gas rate. Chanute
owning and operating its gas service,
formerly produced the gas from its
own wells, but latterly has been
obliged to buy the gas that it sells to
domestic consumers. Nevertheless,
it charges the lowest price in the
state, if the Tribune statement is
correct, collecting 3 cents a thou
sand feet. The net profits in the
last calendar year were $S,926.SS
on a business of $S1, But the
real profits are several times the
figures given, when it is considered
that the plant furnishes to the city
free gas estimated to be worth SIS,
600, in the way of fuel for the mu
nicipal electric lighting plant and the
water pumping station, as well al
100 street lamps. The gas plan
debt is but $1,000.
The Chanute electric lighting plan
is the child of the gas plant
furnishes the main lighting system o
the city and was built and paid TO
out of the proceeds from the gas sys
TEN. Chanute's electric light rate
the lowest in Kansas, except the rat
at lola.
1t would be difficult to persuad
any resident of Chanute that munic
pal ownership of public utility me-
nopolies is a freak idea in view {
this experience reported by the Tr
bune.

SECRECY AND DIVORCE.

Secrecy as applied to divorce pro-
ceedings has at last reached the
courts in Washington, d. c. Fol-
lowing the bad example of the rath-
er notoriously corrupt courts of New
York state, Justice Gould of the dis
trict supreme court for the first time
has bowed to social influence and
wealth and caused the case of Frank
Ellis, just divorced by his wife, to
be kept under seal of absolute Sc
crecy.
Mrs. Ellis has been granted an alb
solute divorce from Frank Ellis, who
pays the costs. The Ellises have been
on the most intimate terms at the
White House, and were the first to
build on the so-called "millionaires'
row" in Sheridan Castle. They came
from Cincinnati, where they original
ly met the Tafts.
Following the filing of the petition
lOl ulNOlOC, II ain lColSllCu
from the Metropolitan Club and
Chevy Chase Club and left town.
The petition and bill were made the
subject of special orders by the court
and were locked in a safe pending
the taking of testimony, which was
done privately before a special COM
missioner and this record after peru
sal by the court was permanently
sealed.
The question which naturally
arises in the minds of the people in
the capital is whether a similar priv
ilege would be granted to persons of
less wealth and social influence seek
ing divorce, and if not, why there
should be one brand of law for the
rich and another for the poor.

WHY WOMEN SHOULD VOTE.

A country, people, must progress
if it is to continue strong. Woman's
suffrage is part of the progressive
toward a more efficient
and real democracy.
Tax-paying women need the vote
to protect their financial interests.
Mothers and home-makers need
the vote to enable them to secure
Legislation concerning sanitary con-
ditions, food supply, educational and
moral conditions.
Working women. need the vote to
give them power to effect legislation
determining the conditions and
hours of their work.
All women need the vote because
it is the accepted method of individ-
ual self-eXpression in matters con
cerning all.
The state needs to utilize directly
the knowledge and experience OF
women in those matters of socia
welfare in which they are especially
interested, just as it needs to utilize
directly the knowledge and expert
ence of men in those matters il
which they are especially interested
A representative government
should represent all classes of
community which cannot be definite
ly shown to be menace to the com
munity.

THE BENEFICENCE OF GRASS.
(John j. Ingalls,

Next in importance to the divine
profusion of water, light and air,
those great physical facts which
render existence possible, may be
reckoned the universal beneficence
of grass. Exaggerated by tropical
heats and vapors to the gigantic cane
congested with its saccharine secre
tion, or dwarfed by polar rigors to
the fibrous hair of northern soli-
tudes, embracing between these eX-
tremes the maize with its resolute
pennons, the wheat, rye, barley, oats
and other cereals, no less than the
humber verdure of hillside, pasture
and prairie in the temperate zone,
grass is the most widely distributed
of all vegetable beings, and it is at
once the type of our life and the EN-
blem of our mortality. Lying in the
sunshine among the buttercups and
dandelions of May, scarcely higher
in intelligence than the minute ten
ants of that mimic wilderness, our
earliest recollections are of grass;
and when the fitful fever is ended,
and the foolish wrangle of the mar
ket and forum is closed, grass heals
over the scar which our descent into
the bosom of the earth has made and

Kill the Fly.


Public interest in the necessity of
this campaign against flies is being
awakened in towns and cities by the
circulation and display of prominent
placards setting forth the danger of
the fly and the manner in which this
danger may be averted. One of the
most valuable and striking of these
placards contains this information:
Where is the fly born? In ma
nure, and filth.
Where does the fly live? In every
kind of filth.
Is anything too filthy for the fly
to eat? No.
(a) Where does he go when he
leaves the vault and the manure pile
and the spittoons? Into the kitchen
and dining room. (b) What does ne
do there? He walks on the bread,
fruit and vegetables; he wipes his
feet on the butter and bathes in the
buttermilk.
Does the fly visit the consumption
and typhoid fever and cholera infan-
tum patients? He does-and may
call on you next.
Is the fly dangerous? He is man S
worst pest and more dangerous than
wild beasts or rattlesnakes.
Where are the greatest number of
cases of typhoid fever, consumption
and summer complaint? Where the
most flies are.
Where are the most flies? Where
there is the most filth.
Why should we kill the fly? Be-
cause he may kill us.
How shall we kill the fly? (a)
Destroy all the filth about the house
and yard; (b) Pour lime into the
vault and on the manure; (c) Kill

Philadelphia, June 1-Pennsylvania placed thirteen men to Cornell's sev. en in the qualification trials of the annual intercollegiate championships on Franklin Field yesterday, but the strength of the Ithacans in the half mile, mile and two mile runs, it is thought, will pull them to a total in the finals today which Pennsyl- vania cannot overcome.

Cornell has no one for either of the dastes or either of the hurdle events.
