1T HAS THE RABIES.

The Smoot organ must have antici-
| pated a very sultry day yesterday, and
correspondingly it INDUCED in the
! froth of rabies to an unusual extent. It
reiterated the falsity that DR.. Paden
had been abusing and vilifying Utah,
and that The Tribune had been defend
ing him therein, This is such stale
fslsehood that it is surprising to see
ii come forth again even in fit of
rabies. For Dr. Paden denies the
things charged against him, and The
Tribune believes in his denial That
is a plain statement of the whole mat
ter, and still, basing its evil.spoken
bigotry upon q falsehood, the organ
states foolishly that because of The
Tribune's disbelief in the organ Is lies
it is an impertinence for this pa
per to call attention to the Chicago
Land Show and invite the people OF
Utah to say whether the State shall be
represented thereat,
Again, The Tribune recently called
attention to the great work being done
by the University Of Wisconsin. where
the Agricultural College and the Uni
versity are united, and spoke of the
contention that is proceeding in Oregon
as between the Agricultural College
and the University, which is, to GER
tain extent, paralyzing the efforts of
both. We have had something of the
same sort in Utah. Our conclusion was,
and has been for long time, frequent
ly expressed, that it would be better
for the State of Oregon and for the
State of Utah to unite in each its Uni
versity and Agricultural College. In
view of the great fame that attaches
to the work Of the Wisconsin Univer-
sity, where these institutions are con-
solidated, we contrasted the work of
other States which have separate insti-
tutions for the University and the
College, and stated that
in no such State was either institution
ever heard from outside the State s
boundaries. And this is held by the
Smoot organ to be an "uniust blow
at Utab's two great educational insti-
tutions!''
With every new depth of degrada-
tion to which the Smoot organ de-
scends, we charitably conclude that it
has reached the extreme; but it ap-
pears that it is able to find new depths
and new degradation with every sue
ceeding issue.

The organ made much Of the criti.
cisms which Senator Gallinger of Yer
mont put upon President Wilson. In
that editorial Senator Gallinger was
represented as a great hero, putting to
discontinue the President of the
United States. And yet in another edi.
torial In the same column, it finds that
Senator Gallinger is cheap skate, who
knows nothing about Congressional pro.
cedure or public propriety. Speaking
of the franking scandal in connection
with the sending through the mails un-
der Congressional franks of a docu-
ment which had been altered after the
Senate had authorized its use as pub
lie document, the organ says:
The effort to blacken Senator Lodge
and others who properly used their frank
ing privilege TO disseminate information
as TO the Injurious effects OF free sugar
can have no effect among those who
know the custom, Upon those whose
readiness to think evil is accentuated by
,cconcomitanB ignorance, an Impression
will be created The matter is being
sent thus broadcast for consumption In
the rural districts where the uninformed
are easily Impressed. Unfortunately, IL
is aided by others whose round of daily
duties should equip them with at least
the elementals OF governmental informa
ton but which apparently has not done
so.
That is the organ s view. 1t is also
dirty slur on the Associated Press
service. Whether it is Smoot s view
or not is not certain, though it NAV be
presumed to be so. But it is not Sena-
tor Gallinger's S view. When Senator
Gallinger was on the stand in the lob
by inquiry, this falsely styled "cus-
TOM was brought out. Senator Over
man asked him for his opinion on the
act of changing public document aft
er it had been ordered printed by the
Senate, Mr.. Gallinger replied, 81
would consider that absolutely indie
fcnsible, if not criminal And yet,
for the purpose Of excusing that in
defensible if not criminal act. The
Smoot organ holds that Senator Calm
ger is an ignoramus, who does not have
any idea of the "elementals of govern
mental information.
That is, Senator Gallinger is great
statesman and champion when he as.
sails President Wilson; but when he
denounces an act in which Apostle
Smoot is said to have part, Mr.. Calm
ger is guilty of fconcomltant lgnor-
ance'' and knows nothing about the

Wife material was scarce down in
South Africa, where Herr Justh was
engineering prosperously the while
he washed his own shirts and baked
his own ndigestiblc saleratus bis

ne was in urgent need of a good,
plain cook and laundress. So, when

and his photograph. also with his

THE art of being a good hostess
is subtle one Grace ana
compoSure of manner, and
certain necessary practical qualities
help to make the ideal hostess. Not
only does a good hostess possess the
gift of making each individual guest
feel at ease, but she remembers the
tastes and habits of each; and while
planning for their amusement. she
understands the secret of making
them thoroughly comfortable.
To be a perfect hostess is an ac-
compliShment which may be learned
by experience Those who are care
less. thoughtleSS. selfish. vague or
procraStinating cannot hope to win
the reputation of being good host
esSes. Although readiness of speech.
graCiOuSneSS of manner and charm
of bearing do much toward the sue
cess of hostess, those who may be
lacking in these qualifications make
up for them by having great consid-
GRAFTON for their guests. BY the
eXertions Of a tactful hostess guests
find themselves doing exactly what
they prefer, Everything seems
planned for their convenience and
pleasure. Guests never find them
selves bored. dull or worried while
in the house of conSiderate friend.
The English in their great coun-
try houses, understand the receiving
Of their friends to perfection. They
are the best hosts in the world.
They are said to be masters of the
letting-alone system. While every
thing is offered for a guests pleas
ure. there is no evidence that one is
being over-entertained. Everything
goes on with the utmost SmoothnesS
and with a delightful ease. The com
plete mastery of the situation is the

ry you"
Half dazed, Herr Justh took from
his breast pocket the photograph
Fraulein Bertha had sent him Then
she broke down and confessed ev-
erything. She was so plain she did
not dare send her own photograph.
So she sent the picture of a pretty
moving picture actress. And when
he asked for the moving picture
film, and sent the money, she had
to hire the same actress to act the
part. What else could she do? All
along she hoped Herr Engineer would
be satisfied with a good and faithful
housewife
And then Herr Justh simply turned
and fed back to his engineering job
and his handmade saleratus bis
cuits-a sadder but a wiser man.
When Fraulein Bertha, plucking up
her courage, followed him to Wind
hook and sued him for breach of
promise of marriage, all his pity for
her vanished He told the judge the
whole moving picture story. forti-

was nothing left for Fraulein Bertha

Easy rules about breakfast are
customary. If possible. a guest is
offered the option Of having tray

breakfast. When the men of the
family take an early train it is often

cereal, an egg and fruit are sent up
on a tray.

amusements are planned, it is sensi-
BILE to give hint about them. This
enables a guest to decide what
dresses to take for the visit.
Arrangements for meeting guests
at the station and bringing them to
the house should be made. Their
luggage should be taken charge of
and placed in their rooms. These
attentions are occasionally over
looked by an Indifferent hostess, and
an unfavorable impression is made
on an arriving guest.
A hostess is. of course. cordial in
her greeting. Friends arriving from
a distance are offered tea or some
pefreshment unless the hour for
meal is near Women guests are
shown to their rooms by the hostess
with as little delay as possible. Men
are shown to their rooms by a serv-
ant.
Before the arrival of a guest
good hostess sees that everything for
convenience and comfort is in a
guests room. There should be plenty
of towels. fresh water and new soap.
Most persons have the habit of
daily bath, and guest should have
the use of tub" either in her
room or the family bath room, if
there is no separate bath room for
the guest room. At the bedside
should be a light stand with candle
and matches. Even where there IS
the convenient electric light. every
one likes to have matches close at
hand. On this stand guest should
find at night a pitcher of iced water

If a hostess is wise she will offer
an alternative and give a guest the
option of choice of pleasures or
occupations. A good hostess remem-

Tennis. golf, motoring. driviE=
bathing or boating may be daytime
amusements. In the evening there
may be cards. music, charades
STORYTELLING or conversation. 4 good
hostess is careful that persons who
do not care to play cards should not
be expected to do 50. Everyone IS
not enthusiastic about bridge, and
it is unpleasant to be asked to play
on warm Summer evening. 1t goes
without saying that card playing for
money should not be allowed.
The hostess suggests the hour for
retiring. Early hours are kepl in
quiet households.
1t is not the custom to urge
guest to lengthen visit. Regret is
expressed that the time for depart
ure has come and the hope that the
visit may be repeated i'll the future.
A hostess should not be casual
about the arrangements for convey
ing guests and luggage to the sta
ton, remembering that to miss
train may cause serious inconven-
fence.
