MY MOTHERS BIBLE.

M MOTHERS BIBLE.
On one of the shelves of my library
surrounded by volumes of all kinds, on
various subjects and in various lam
guages, stands an old book, in its plain
covering of brown paper, unprepossess-
ing to the eye, and apparently out of
place among the more pretentious vol
umes that stand by its side. To the eye
of the stranger it certainly has neither
beauty nor comeliness, IT'S covers are
worn, its leaves marred by long use; its
pages once white, have become yellow
with age; yet worn and old as it is, to
me it is the most beautiful and the most
valuable book on my shelves. No other
awakens such associations, or so appeals
to all that is best and noblest within
me. 1t is, or rather was, my mothers
bible-companion of her best and ho!i-
est hours, source of her unspeakable
joy and consolation. 1t was the light
to her feet and lamp to her path. 1t
was constantly by her side and, as her
steps tottered in the advance pilgrim
age of life, and her eyes grew dim with
age, more and more precious to her be-
came the well worn pages.
One morning, just as the stars were
fading into the dawn of the coming Sab
bath, the aged pilgrim passed on beyond
the stars, and beyond the morning, and
entered into the rest of the eternal
Sabbath-to look upon the face OF Him
of whom the law and the prophets had
spoken, and whom, not having seen she
had loved. And now, no legacy is, to
me, more precious than that old Bible
Years have passed: but it stands there
on its shelf, eloquent as ever, witness
of beautiful life that is finished.
When sometimes, from the cares and
conflicts of external life, come back to
the study, weary of the world and tired
OF humanity, SO hard and selfish and a
world that is so unfeellng-and the
strings of the soul have become untun-
ed and discordant, | seem to hear that
book saying, as with the we'll remem-
bered tones of a voice long silent, "let
not your heart be troubled, for what
is your life? 1t is even as vapor.
Then my troubled spirit becomes calm;
and the little world that has grown so
great, and SO formidable, sinks into its
place again, am peaceful. am
strong.
There is no need to take down the
volume from the shelf, or to open 1t.
A glance of the eye is sufficient. Mem
DRY and the law of association supply
the rest. Yet there are occasions when
it is otherwise: hours in life when some
deep grief has troubled the heart; some
darker, heavier cloud is over the spirit
and over the dwelling, and when it is
comfort to take down that old Bible
and search its pages. Then, for time,
the latest editions, the original Ian
guages, the. notes and commentaries,
and all the critical apparatus which the
scholar gathers around him for the
study of the scriptures are laid aside,
and the plain old English Bible that
was my mothers, is taken from the
shelf, Blessed, holy book, inspired,
That lit my mothers way,
Thou comforter in earth's sad hours,
Thou light in darkest day;
We cherish all thy promises,
Thy word renews our youth.
They're mama to the hungry soul
So full of grace and truth.

RECLAIMING THE LANDS.

This country is not the only one, it
appears, that is engaged in extensive
operations by way Of reclaimipg arid
lands and draining swsmps. The Italian
government is engaged in this work to
an extent that makes comparison be.
tween Italy and ourselves on this oues-
tion fair one. We find in the Spring
field (Mass.) Republican an account of
two of 1taly's important engineering
projects in this line.
One Of these is plan for three great
artificial lakes in the mountain range
of Aspromonte. These lakes would irri-
gate wide table land below the noun

Another enterprise of the same ma
ture is the construction Of reservoir
in Sardinia which is to drain $4,000
acres of marsh land and store upwards
OF 400,000,000 cubic yards of water. 1t
is expected that this great project will
reduce to sanitary conditions the whole
region around the Tirso river II is
also expected that this will provide a

his Office as a Democrat. He is now
serving his third term as Governor of
Massachusetts. He meets the Demo
cratic threat at Washington by a
prompt closing down Of his two mills,
giving exactly the reason that the
Democratic leaders in the National
capital have asserted would bring their
enginery of prosecution TO bear. Gov
ernor Foss invites the issue and dehes
prosecution. IT is up to the National
Democratic leaders now to make good
or to be ridiculous before the American
people.
1t will be remember that Governor
Foss a short time prior to the lnaugnra-
tion OF President Wilson, sent to the
Massachusetts, Legislature as an official
message a long tariff pronouncement
which was in most particulars directly
opposite to the Wilson-Uude
ideas. Governor Foss proclaimed most
distinctly and cmphatjcally in favor OF
protection on WOOL and on other
articles that the present tariff bill
puts upon the free list. Foss used TO be
a Republican, and it is evident that he
has not outgrown his protection ideas.
His attitude now is evidently that of a
rebel against the party principles as de-
clared in Washington, and he is in
plain defiance Of the threats that the
party leaders have made. The issue is
made as prominent as possible by bis
emphatic declaration and his square
meeting Of the direct issue presented
by Wilson, Underwood, Williams, and
other Democratic leaders. 1t will be
interesting to see if they have the
courage to take up the square issue that
Governor Foss thus presents.

SUGAR PRODUCERS RBsENTFuL.

The sugar producers who are MAX.
ing complaints in Washington certain.
ly have good cause. They claim and
are abundantly justified in the claim,
that assurances were given during the
Presidential campaign Of last year that
their industry would not be attacked
nor their prosperity destroyed through
such assurances were most certainty
given out.
The fact is that during all the cam
paign great stress was laid by all Dem
ocratic speakers and writers, and by
the President himself, upon the plea.
that no industrial enterprise or bust
ness in the United States had anything
to fear from Democratic success. This
was strongly dwelt upon in all of the
campaign presentations, either oral or
thinking that the Democratic party
would assail or destroy any American
industry was Que of the stock appeals
of the Democratic speakers and
writers.
But now the sugar producers find
themselves in extremity. They are
threatened, in Louisiana and Hawaii
especially, with the destruction Of
their industry altogether, and not only
this, they are practically branded as
reprobates for appearing in Washing
ton for the protection of their bust
ness and property. That the sugar
people have been badly billSed in these
propositions, and that they are grossly
insulted and held up as reprehensible
characters adds insult TO the injury.
Their cause is just, but the Democratic
party not only affords them no relief,
but .ieers at their distress, and points
them out as undesirable citizens.

GOVERNOR FosS'S DEFIANCE.

The Democratic leaders in Washing
ton, having thrown down the gauntlet
that they will prosecute any individual
or corporation that cuts the wages of
employees or closes down plants, giving
as a reason the tariff agitation or the
passage of the revised tariff law, Gov.
ernor Eugene n. Foss of Massachusetts.
who is also a Democrat, promptly
meets the challenge by closing down
his two mills in Massachusetts,, thus
meeting and also repressing demand
of his employees for raise of 20 per
cent in their weekly wages The
reason given is because Of "unsettled
conditions due to the pending tariff
bill - So that here is a square issue
raised, and the curiosity of the country
will be awakened to see whether the
Democratic leaders in Washington will
bring their threatened prosecution
against the Democratic Governor of
Massachusetts.
Senator Williams Of Mississippi, who
gave plain intImation the other day
that any manufacturer who closes his
mill or reduces wages by reason of the
unsettled tariff conditions or on the
ground that he cannot do business un-
der the proposed tariff law. should
be sent to Jail. has now an opportunity
to bring criminal proceedings against
his fellow Democrat who is Governor of
Massachusetts. 1t is au opportunity to
have square test of the threats made
in and by the National offcialdom of
Washington. Governor Foss is holding

MAKING 1T ALL PLAIN.

The Smoot organ yesterday morning
showed itself in need Of some elcmen-
tary instruction in the English Ian.
guagc. Referring to our statement,
"No such issue has arisen as to Justify
DR.. Paden in any assault upon Utah, y
it proclaims lack of understanding
This we can well believe, for its lack
of understanding is quito general and
frequent TO note Referring, however,
to the matter at hand, the trouble with
the Smoot organ is that it has failed to
understand the true issue all the time.
1t has insisted all along that DR.. Pa.
den said the things which it reported
him as saying. even though he denied
saving them. When it found itself un
able to substantiate its assertion that
he had said those things. it took refuge
in the assertion that if DR.. Paden had
not said them, other people working
with him had done so. This was so
plainly and ridiculously a subterfuge,
that it required no attention.
But referring to the wording as
There is no issue as to the justifying
Of DR., Padeu in an assault upon Utah,
as he has made none, Therefore, we
did not feel. and do not feel now, that
any issue of Justification could posi-
bly, arise Since DR.. Paden did not
say these things, there is no need to
Justify him in saying them We have
not at any time undertaken to Justify
DR.. Paden in saying anyth ng deroga
tory about Utah, for we have consist-
emily accepted his denial of saying
these things. Therefore, there is no is
sue requiring that he be justified in
saying them There was no difficulty
whatever in the expression save only
as contumaciously or ignoransIy made
by those who did not want to under
stand.
1t is curious indeed to see such will
ful perverslons, twistings, and squirm-
ipgs in this raden matter. The whole
issue is perfectly clear and plain. Dr.
Paden was charged with saying certain
things derogatory TO Utah. He denied
having said them. The Tribune ac-
cepted his denial, aud so disposed of
the issue altogether. But DR.. Paden IS
detractors keep insisting that some
thing had been said, and quibbling
about the matter III such way that
we had TO constantly bring forward DR..
Paden s denial
This denial has not even vet been
accepted IN good faith by DIR. Paden s
detractors, as 1T was accepted by The
Tribune. Consequently, we reaffirm
that there is no such issue as Justify
ing Dr. Paden in this matter, since he
requires no Justification. Those who
cannot understand the difference be-
tween The Tribune IS accepting the de-
NAL of Dr. Padeu that he said the
things charged, and the statement that
The Tribune justifies or supports DR..
Paden In saying those things falsely
charged against him, certainly assay

high in bigotry, prejudice, and the

The italian government s method for
the furthering Of this last.named enter.
prise ia that concessions for the Sar-
dinian reservoir have been granted to
private companies, the government re-
serving the right Co use power for the
public utilities at cost, and after sixty
years the entire plant, costing about
$20,000,00o, reverts gratuitously TO the
state. But the frst-named project is
conducted wholly as government
enterprise.
The development OF water power is
of special Importance to southern Italy
on account of droughts and the lack OF
large streams and of capacity for water
power available The rainfall is less
than in northern Italy, yet during the
rainy season it is expected to be suffi-
cient to Eli the three artificial lakes TO
be created.
Whether the example Of the United
States in it's reclamation projects in
this arid region gave Italy the hint of
what might be done. or whether Italy
proceeds thus through resumption of
old.time enterprise, is not important.
The important thing is that the work -
being done, and that in Italy, as well
as in the United States, the need for
government help in these enterprises is
recognized. and the results are large,
corresponding to the expenditures re-
