What Is Your Position?

In the last issue we published number OF
letters from persons not residents of this part of
the country containing words of commentator
respecting The Record
Today, in another column we are reproduc-

each being the voluntary expression of the
writer, under the heading more kind words
from friends and strangers We want you to
read them. If you have not already so, turn to
the article and read it, read it carefully.
These letters and the many others we print
from time to time, show the estimation in which

abundant evidence that most of our citizens are.
But are you? If you are. what are doing to show
your appreciation? Do you subscribe for it and
pay for it as promptly as you should? If you have

The Measles Epidemic in Panguitch.

Last week this paper printed an article re-
spectng the measles epide mic at Panguitch, and
gave an account of number of deaths reported at
that place within short period, due, according
to our informant, to measles and other compli-
cations, not to the measles alone.
We. at this distance, have no way of deter
mining the truth of the information as it was
received by us. but it was from residents of that
place, and we had no reason to dispute the con-
dtions as stated to us.
Although the alleged distressing condition
was due to cause that would pass away as soon
as the contagion had passed, and under ordinary
circumstances no especial alarm should be felt
however the Panguitch Progress partially de-
MES that the conditions were as given to The
Record. but, in making an explanation, admits
most of what this papers informant stated to be
true, that dancing halls, the school and the the
atre were closed for considerable time because
of the epidemic of measles. AS to the number of
Deaths we hope they were as few as stated by
the Progress. According to our information, nearly
all the deaths that occurred from measles and
other complications were within very short
period, the singular feature not being the great
number Of deaths from n easles. or any other
source, but the several occurring so nearly to-
gether.
We are pleased to learn that the malady is
under control ana conditions in or neighborng
city are again taking on their usual aspect.

The Idaho Supreme Court


The Idaho Supreme Court has rendered de.
cision in the case os the Boise dapip News, it's
editor and one Of its stockholders Who is said to
have been the dictator of the pobYty of the paper
during the recent campaign, n which the indivi-
duals were fined and sentenced TO ten days in
jail.
The action of the court is the result OF an
attack on it by the paper because of the courts
decision in the matter of tho Roosevelt presi-
dental electors, preventing their names from be-
ing printed on the official boot
A number Of other newspapers are induIgine
in caustic criticism of the courts action, prom
nent among them being the Herald Republican
and the Tribune Of Salt Lake City. The first
named paper is particularly bitter and well may
it be, for it has been but about two years since
the editorial writer of that paper its business
manager and one of its reporters we're fined for
contempt of the United States District Court, and
there is now an appeal lying in the files of the
State Supreme Court from decision of the Dis
trict Court of Salt Lake county, in which the
paper was fined and its manager fined and sent
enced to thirty days in Jail Tor contempt of court
The course pursued by The Herald -Republi-
can at that time was most despicable 1t could
not find words to express it's denunciation of
Judge Lewis, who rendered the decision, the
attack made on the Judge being such piece of
villany as to merit greater penalty than the
court inflicted
With its experiences with the Federal Court
still fresh in the mind Of its management and with
another contempt case awaiting decision, it is
playing fine game at attempting to bring the
Idaho court into disrepute. hoping that by so
doing its own case may be Ininimized in the
local court.
The Idaho paper did not criticise the court
because of any delay in rendering decisions, nor
because of any of its decisions in any public or
private case that had ever come before it for de-
termination but, for political reasons only. made
vicious attack on the court. supplementing its own
opinions by letter from Theodore Roosevelt de-
,ouncng the court for it's decision in the elector-
al matter. It's attack amounted to a public
of the court, with charges of dis
aonesty lgaihst tc tr!s,
tion and colIusion 1t did not attempt totgive the
courts reasons for its decision but gave its own
views. according to it's own interpretations on the
question before the court, in every way contrivls
ing to bring the court into disrepute. n
We can see no grevious error on the part of
the court in either instance

Financial Problems Confront Congress.

Some of our statesmen in Washington are
beginning to realize that while this country has a
large volume OF money, after all it is not large
enough with which to transact the large volume
OF business required of it. 1t was the opinion Of
the Great Clay, Calhoun and Webster trio many
years ago that there should be 81 in money for
each thirty dollars $780, in property and as there
is one hundred and fifty billion in wealth there
should be five billion dollars 5000, 600, 000) in
circulation, whereas there is only little over
three billion dollars circulation and we have only
about thirtyfive dollars 1885, per capita in circu-
lation, where there should be ffty-five 1851 per
capita in circulation and there would never be
any financial panics such as we had in 1907.
France has the largest per capita circulation of
any country in the world. more than forty dollars
per capita, which is $40 for each man, woman and
child, and consequently France has never been
known to have panic in times Of peace. We
have heard the cry Of too much money! in the
country but that is not true there is not enough
money in the country to meet its business require
ments. and the sooner the volume is increased the
better it will be for the business and prosperity
of the country.
Our domestic commerce is about $50 600, 000,-
600 and foreign commerce about $40 600, 600 600
and IL is clear that 49, 1000, 600, 600, of money is
inadequate for even this great volume of bust
ness to say nothing of how we are ever going to
increase the country's business unless there is a
larger increase in the circulation medium. The
heavy tax or strain to which the money of the
country is subjected in meeting the needs of bust
ness keeps us within easy reach of panic any
time and in 1907 in the midst Of universal pros
perity the financial cord became over strained and
snapped and hence the panic.
