Making a Commercial Club.

On another page Of today's Record appears a
call by the secretary for meeting of the CONNER
cial club. For several months the club as an ac-
tive commercial organization has been practically
mil"
This condition has been DUE according to sew
eral members Of the club, to the indifference Of a
majority of the members. While it is true with
nearly every organization, no matter of what char.
acter that depends largely upon the offic-
ers, yet no orgazation can succeed unless actively
supported by goodly number of its members.
In the conduct Of commercial organization,
as in any private enterprise, hot air" will accom-

Morning Glory, comes up shining in the morning
but willis with the approach of noon, is little bet

In a certain book, which men cite when want

what is needed is not "hot air. enthusiasts nor
men with enthusiasm that comes and goes like the
tides of the ocean, but men who plan and then
work; and then work some more.
Tomorrow night those who have been asking
what is the matter with the commercial club. will
have an opportunity to enlist in the cause. What
will you do; make il live organization, or will
you stay away and then criticize the commercial
club?

Amusements for the City.

Frequently we hear persons say that they do
not understand why so many people leave the
smaller towns and go to the cities The question
was answered by young lady of Cedar City the
other day. All she said was simply "it's so dull
here; there's no place to CO. | wish were in Salt
Lake"
This is the way great many people in the
smaller towns and cities feel about their own home
conditions, especially young people and others who
have frequently visited the large cities There are
so many places to go: the theatre each evening, or
the public resorts with their dances and other hol-
iday attractions; and on Sundays, the public parks
with their children's Fairgrounds their brass
bands. their inviting lawns. their lakes and boats,
their shades and lunch tables.
Do they get these things in the small towns
and cities? No. Then is it any wonder the arg-
er place attracts them. But they can get them IN
the smaller places If the people want them.
Right here in Cedar City we have a public
square containing five acres. On il is a sort of a
base ball park without grand stand. No seats
have been provided. though enough lumber for a
dozen would not cost the price of one railroad tick
ct to Salt Lake. The city has all the water il
needs to grow lawn but bare ground greets the
eye.
Then out on the west side are the grounds of
the branch normal school, some twenty acres or
more which have been partially improved. No
doubt this property could be secured for the use of
residents of the city. There is an abundance of
grass, but little else Without much effort seats
could be provided, band stand could be built and
our musicians given an opportunity to render
sacred concerts on Sunday afternoons while the
people enjoyed the music and the shade, and the
fresh air; and at very slight expense an artifc-
al lake could be made directly in front of the main
building, and on this boats could be placed.
difficult task does some one say? No doubt
it would appear impossible to the peSsimist. But
tasks as great as this are successfully worked out
by men in the CITIES while they partake of their
MONDAY meal at the COMMERCIAL CLUB.
Now let the business men take this matter up
and outline something definite. The city may not
have sufficient funds just now to have the work
done, but we believe there are enough wide-awake
philosophical citizens in the city who would
gladly give their time TO assist in providing

M WAY TO DO 1T.

When President-Elect Wilson made his
now famous speech promising to gibbet be-
fore the people and before coming genera
tons any man or set of men who might bring
on a panic for their own purposes a number
of conservative" Immediately arose to de-
clare that there is no machinery In existence
for the creation OF unnatural financial panics.
When outstanding loans are large could not
those 1874 men who control 134 banks. trust
companies, transportation and industrial cor
portations having a total capitalization of more
than twenty-five billion dollars call in loans
and tie up the money market? 1t has been
done. 1t is admitted that a few men caused
the panic of 1907 by starting a run on the
Knickerboker Trust Company of New York.
Morgan could not sit in his office and say
with effect "let there be a panic" but the
banks which he controls could call in enough
money to cripple seriously thousands OF banks
throughout the country.
They do not wish to do SO? 1t does not
matter; there is no reason why they should
have the power.

WHERE VOCATIONAL TRAINING PAYS

In the printing shop Of the public schools
of Gary, Indiana, there are thirty-hve pupils.
The industrial training of these pupils was
worth five dollars per capita in cold cash to the
school system OF the city. This is the way
they reckoned it out there and not by esti-
mating the cost per capita OF industrial educa-
ton.
Says DR.. P. P. Claxton. United States COM
missioner of education:
industrial work in the schools of Gary,
Indiana. made money instead OF costing money
during the past year. When the school au-
thorities in Gary came to sum up the results
Of the work in the trade courses, they found
that che three departments OF printing, cabi-

a profit of ss75.4S. This. is real value. too;

The Canal Work.

With the completion of the Panama canal
the American disposition to start nothing that
cannot be finished will have received a further
demonstration before the world. Al no time
since this great work was undertaken has there
been any doubt here as to it's completion. The
difficulties In the way were fully appreciated
and 1t was known that the project would call
for an immense sum Of money and for per-
sistent activity. But no ono questioned the
successful termination Of the work. especially
after the nrst triumphant attack upon the in
sanitary conditions that prevailed in the Canal
zone. Colonel Gorgas having cleared out the
yellow fever and malaria and found ways and
means of enabling white men to live and work
in those conditions, tho task that was ultimately
undertaken, by Colonel Geothals became physi-
cally feasible OF accomplishment. 1t was then
a matter OF organization and administration
together with an ADEQUATE supply Of funds. The
money has been forthcoming without check
and the engineers and administrative oflcers
have accomplished their part of the assignment
satisfactorily. As on indication that there Is
no slackening in the pace OF the work in the
Canal zone appears the announcement from
Colon that at the end OF November the con-
struction force on the canal was the largest in
the history OF the work. There was then under
employment 4o.15s men. On the construction
of the lock gates alone about 1000 men were
engaged-Washington Star.

one which calls for solution and which is
neglected only at the peril of the citizens OF

One of the most serious phases of this prob
lem is the control Of tuberculosis. The great
white plague is the most ~insistent and at tile
anne time the most insidious danger which con
fronts the world today. No city Is free from it
and In Richmond as elsewhere the danger exists.
The best way to fight this danger is by segre-
CATION OF those already in the grip OF the
monster. Many of them cannot be cured
entirely. Some OF them cannot be cured at
all. The best that can be done for those in
the last stages of the disease, in most cases.
is to provide a place wherein the unfortunate
can die in peace and In cleanliness. Some Of
them can be saved, however, and the COM
munity has no right to let them die. Too
poor to provide themselves with the necessary
treatment they must linger on in living death
until the end comes. unless their fellow citizens
come to their relief.
But 1t is not only the duty OF the citizens
Of the community to make the last days Of the
condemned comfortable and to save those who
can be saved, but to protect the we'll from dan
ger. Segregation is the only way in which
this can be done. In Richmond the Pine Camp
sanitorium provides a place for those afnicted
with tuberculosis. 1t takes them from the
community where they suffer and create a
danger to others to a secluded spot where they
are treated and sometimes restored to health
and where they are not a menace to the
health of the entire community.

system under the administration Of the re-
firing superintendent. The public school sys-

and the personnel of the teachers has been
raised. Mr.. Eggleston's work In the interest
deserves especial mention. The Virgtnian has
emphasized the need of this improvement in

nothing else could be said of Mr.. Eggleston. his
enthusiasm for this work and his efforts in Its
behalf would be sufficient to commend him to
all having the progress OF the State at heart.
Mr.. Eggleston goes now to q larger feld

chiefly of an agricultural nature and his ex-
~perience with the agricultural schools OF the
State and his knowledge Of agricultural edu-
cation should stand him in good stead. He
undertakes q work of great importance to the
country and the bureau of education will
find its work In this direction greatly facili-
tated by having the advantage OF the labors
of a man so well qualified as the former Vir-
ginia superintendent OF public instruction.

ALWAYS

The book-reviewer OF the New York Sun
has the following to say OF John H. Wor-
sham's volume "One OF Jackson's Foot Ca
valry":
Another interesting personal account Of the
War Between the States Is published by the
Neal Publishing company in John H. Worsham's
"One of Jackson's Foot Cavalry" The author
was a private in a Richmond company at the
outbreak of the war and remained with it to
he err. He restricts himself to the experiences
Of himself and his company and seems to have
kept a scrapbook or to have gathered materials
later, for ne furnishes many curious lists and
tables. These personal narratives, especially
those on the Confederate side, are always well
come, for they provide first hand evidence.
The Virotnian has already reviewed this
interesting volume, which is of especial in.
terest to the people of Richmond, where the
author lived and about whose soldiers the
book is written. 1t Is welcome everywhere
but particularly here.
