Her Advice.
By SARAH ]. TUCKER

Two farms lay side by side, the one
belonging to old Charney, the other to
young Peterson. Peterson had inner
tied his farm with debt on 1t and had
no money with which to stock or work
it. The season for planting was com
Ing on. and Charniey was looking out
for hands. Peterson told him that IL
he would hire him for the whole sea-
son he would work for him. To this
Charnley agreed.
One morning in April Albert Peterson
was blowing In Charnley's field The
trees were just taking on that delicate
shade of pale green which is so beauti-
full while the air was balmy with the
first warm breeze coming up from the
south. Albert rested his horses. tied
the reins to the pillow handle and, lean
ing against a fence. looked out upon
the pleasant prospect. At intervals
came a few notes from bird or pair
of birds building a nest In treetop.
1t was music to Albert, who loved the
country and hated the city. He was
thinking about the latter and how he
should miss the former, for farming
had not paid his father nor did be see
how IL could pay him. SO he expected
In the fall to go to town and try for
position in some store or mandatory.
Suddenly he felt pair of hands clasp
ed over his eyes. They were not hard
and coarse, but soft and fine. They
must be a woman's.

and on the other side of the fence saw
a girl of nineteen.

"Oh. / was thinking how lovely the

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

A decision of no small Importance has
just been returned in United States
court at Utica, n. Y, by which the count
holds that fraternal order, having in
sured member at a certain rate, cannot
legally collect from such insured person
higher rate than the amount originally
agreed upon. In the case at issue, the
person had held an insurance policy since
1862 which called for monthly assess
ment of three dollars. Thirty three years
later, or in 1902, he was called upon to
did pay; and ten years later than that,
or in January of the present year, he
was charged $l4.70, to which he de-
INJURED and was forced to bring the case
into the federal court. As a result,
Judge Ray holds that the lodge in ques-
tion must accept the original premium
and at the same time keep the policy
in force. By virtue of this decision, the
sacredness Of the original obligation by
which company agrees to insure its
members is held inviolable regardless Of
the age of the insured, which seems rea-
lsonable, too, inasmuch as the insured
entered into contract with the fraternal
order under certain specified stipulations
and had every reason to believe that he
would be asked to pay only the amount
set up at the time of his entrance.
On the other hand, there is eontin-
gency in which the raising of rates would
be justifiable. That is in case of agree
ment of all those concerned If all the
persons having insurance in force should
consent to an increase of assessment for
some reaosn or other, possibly because
of decreased membership, in order to
protect the interests of all, that would
be defensible action. That, however
would be an extreme condition. Lacking
the likelihood of such a state of affairs. |
the decision of Judge Ray is bound to
have an important bearing on fraternal
insurance. The insured person is held to |
his contract, else the benefciaries lose
the chance of getting their rightful re.
turns. Why shouldn't the insuring com
pany be held to its contractl

There was a short silence. which the
girl broke:

DAUBED A POLICE OFFICER.
Who Tried to Interfere with College
Youths Antics.

Burlington, Sept. 25.Offieer Fraser,
who attempted to interrupt the hazing
exercises OF body of college students
last evening. was doused with a bucket
of paste. The paste was soft and sticky
and it was some time before the guar
dian of the law could assume his normal
appearance on Church street.
1t happened this way. A few sopho-
mores were putting 20 or 30 freshmen
through their PAGES. A crowd had col
lected on Main street, near the foot of
Church street. BY orders, by way of
wireless, two freshmen were industri-
ously posting rules on a telegraph pole,
contrary to city ordinance. Officer Fra
ser placed them under arrest, or di-
vulged as much to the freshmen. The
fellow freshmen objected strenuously,
but without avail Then, according to
time-honored custom in college, the
freshmen, and perhaps the seniors
helped. threw Patrolman Fraser on the
sidewalk, and without ceremony doused
him with paste. The officer scurried to
the station. washed and put on new
uniform. When he emerged, with
smiling front. the student body had
vanished.

THE uNIvERsITY's NEEDS.

IT appears that the apportioning Oh
public revenue mado to the Utah Uni
versity is insufficient for the needs of
that institution. 1t was supposed that
the assessed valuation of the State
would reach some $10,000,000 more than
it attained. and so the University is
short by the amount of money that
the tax on that S10,0o0,0 900 would repre-.
sent, and il will appeal to the Legisla,
ture for relief.
We think that the plea of the Uni.
versity ought instantly to be granted;
for there is no question Of the good
work that this great public institution
is doing for Utah, and the credit which
it is bringing to the State. The School
of Mines, in particular, is enjoying a
standing and repute which is alto
gether to the credit Of the State, and is
attracting nation wide attention.
The Legislature has always been
rather niggardly towards the Univer-
sity. There has not been that spirit
of generosity and support extended to
the University that one would naturally
expect, from the history of that insti-
tuition and from the sturdy claims that
are made constantly as to the great
things that the State is doing for edu-
cation. The State is doino a good deal
for education, beyond question; but it
is not good for the educational inter
ests of the State to skimp the highest
institution of learning in the State. the
capshcaf of our educational system.
We trust, therefore, that the Legis
lature will take a more broadminded
view of the work Of the University
than it has been disposed TO do in the
past, and that it will not only extend
the relief to the University that it
clearly needs. but will show spirit Of
appreciation and support which has
been too much lacking for many years
past. The University deserves we'll Of
the State, and the State ought to give
the University the strength and sup
port which it needs.

This is lesson that is directly ap-

but that Utah could show results cor

THE COAL CASE DECISION.

The decision Of the U. s. Supreme
| Court in the anthracite coal cases is
| on the main question drawn battle.
| The court holds, however, that the col
lateral operations of the combine, where
the independent mines are controlled
by the anthracite combine, are illegal
But as to the combination Immediately
under the hands of the anthracite own
ers direct, both coal and railroad. the
court finds insufficient evidence to ad-
Judge violation Of law. The general
combination - charged, that is Co say, is
not supported by sufficient proof, and
the governments case as to those is
held to be "ipdefinite.' But as to all
the minor combinations, the control
of independent mines. and the connec-
tiou with the Temple Iron Company,
through which Il project to build a
competing railroad into the anthracite
coal mines was defeated, the govern
ment's victory is complete.
1t is fair to say, therefore, that At
torney General Wickersham does not
take too rosy view Of it when be
holds that the decision will mean the
breaking up Of the combine. although
the existence Of it and its alleged illegal
operations were not definitely and le
gally proved For, with the independ-
ent mines detached and the Temple
Iron Company free TO build or support
the building Of a competing road into
the anthracite coal fields, the oppor-
tunities for competition and for the
breaking of the combines coal prices
are presented.
Tho oppression Of the coal combine
has been so great that undoubtedly
tho relief thus afforded by the court
will be Of the very highest interest
and Importance throughout all the an
thracite coal regions. both as TO the
mines and as TO the markets for the
coal that is mined. When the effect
Of the decision is fully reached, there
will be no opportunity for any such
operations by way of bleeding the
market as has been shown the past
season. This manipulation has been
shown in the fact that both tho price
and the supply of coal have been at
the pleasure of the anthracite corpo-
ration, and that corporation not only
controls the supply but owns tho local
coal yards from which the people get
their coal; and it follows that the
local dealers have no independence Of
action, but are obliged to sell and
charge precisely as the combination di.
rects.
With the detachment OF the indie
pendent coal mines and tho opportu-
nifty thus opened for a competing coal
road, there certainly ought to be. as

BLEASE rs ACCLAIMED.

a good deal has been said about tho
pitifuI exhibition that Governor Bloase
Of South Carolina made Of himself in
the conference Of Governors, in Rich
mond, in declaring for lynch law
against negroes, and upholding his
vicious record as pardoner Of large
numbers Of convicted and admitted
criminals. In that convention Gov
crnor Blcaso expressly pleaded guilty
to the charge that he was an official
periurer, in that ho habitually disre-
garded his oath of office to enforce
the law. He declares openly that he
will not enforce the law, but will vio
late it and encourage others to violate
it IN the matter of lypching negroes.
The particular cause for this lynch
ing which he presented to the Gov
ernors is by no means the only cause,
nor in fact the chief cause. of the
lynching of negroes in South Carolina
or elsewhere. IT is merely a prctense.
His claim that he advocates mob law
only to lynch negroes who attack white
such scruples, and there is no reason
why he should make any false pro-
lenses about it. But he is not in favor
of lynehing white men who attack ne
gro women, He is not in favor Of
lynch law for whites, but only for
blacks; yet Judge Lynch should draw
no color line.
Upon his returning home from the
Governors convention, he promptly
pardoned a white man who had served
less than two years on ten-year
sentence for attacking white woman,
His course shows that he is extremely
tender Of white criminals, pardoning
them by wholesale, and is stern only
towards black criminals: and ne is
stern towards them on every allega,
ton made against them. while pretend
ing to confine his animosity only TO
the offense indicated. But why should
he not frown also upon attacks upon
white women when made by white
men! Why should he be so eager to
pardon white men who commit this of
fense9 There is of course. no sub
stance TO the Blease plea against the
negroes. 1t is outrageous altogether,
and vicious piece of anarchy, utter
! ly reprcheusible in anybody, and espe-
cially to be condemned in 4 Governor.
The only safety for all is the suprem-
aey aud the due enforcement OF the
| law.
And yet when Governor Blease got
| home there had been arranged for him,
probably 10y his incitement. great re-
ception, lie was acclaimed as the pro-
| tector of white women; there was a
celebration; lot of little white girls
arrayed in white welcomed him home
as the defender Of their sex, aud there
was a great iubilatioD, at which Blease
was acclaimed as the hero. So it ap-
pears that Blease is true represent
atiye of the public sentiment of South
Carolina; and since he is the sort of
man they want and are determined to
| have for their Governor, and voelfer~
| ously acclaim, that settles the matter
and it is idle for anyone to object to
the introduction of perjury and anarchy
into the gubernatorial office Of South
Carolina But the official life of such
a man is leprous in the body polite.
