THINKI..@.. FOR THEMSELVES.

a noble old Carolinian who was
about TO leave the state he loved and
the people whom he loved. p man who
had received every honor that his
state could confer. u man who fought
to uphold The law, and in three wars
had sired his blood and had risked his
LIE on many of his country's battle
fields. Il nian who had nothing to ask
OF the people. said with his face
turned to the setting sun THE peo-
pie are right ut heart. At times they
may be led astray by false ideals and
fictitious appeals, but four times out
Of five they are right, and always
they are right when left to think for
themselves"
This was big and sound philoso-
ply. The peoples hearts are right.
They want that which is good for
their homes, for their loved ones. In
the election which we are facing next
tuesday. we are willing to submit the
issues to the people. We believe that
they are thinking. There have been
few demonstrations Of excitement.
There seems TO be little definite idea
OF the sentiment OF the people, be-
cause the silent. honest. thinking ele-
ment. the farming class especially.
seems to be figuring the situation for
itself and not being pulled around
by the nose by the leaders of any
clique or faction.
We believe that the people of the
state resent dictation and the claim
that they are easily led around by the
nose. and it appears that the people
in this election are doing their own
seeing and observing and thinking.
Partisan appeals and the harangue of
the demagogue are not falling upon
willing ears
The people realize that there Is
such a thing as herding them and
riding them into offlce-and leaving
them hitched outside. The people are
not stirred now as they have been al
times. They are in q receptive. think
Ing mood. The Intelligencer believes
In certain men and in the views thew
advocate. but 1t does not wish to die
tate to the men of the state for whom
they should vote. We have our
choice and have good reason for It.
but If any reader chooses q different
man. he has our respect and best
wishes. We will not favor solid
party" ticket. The principle thing
to be remembered isl that we are all
members Of a big family. Sometimes
we may fall out about the things the
family neads, bat after 1t is ali over
we are members OF the same family.
just the same.
We urge. however that every man
who can write should, make out his
own ticket and allow no man to lead
him around by the nose. and we be-
lieve this will be done this year.

islands Of eagles that congregate there
and commit many depredations The
magnificent red sandstone cliffs that
skirt the northwestern coast became
a favorite haunt Of the eagles. and in
this inaccessible spot they increased so

They Seemed 20 Clash a Trife, So the
Court Made a Change.
II was formerly the practice Of the
supreme court to sit from IL noon until
4 O'Clock continuously on each day
that It was IN session. From time TO
time, as the afternoon progressed, the
Justices, one or two at time, would
slip out Of their seats, snatch bite Of
luncheon and return. Sometimes as
many as four or five Of them would be
Off the bench at once. They usually
had their luncheon brought TO them by
their messengers and ate 1t In the little
curtained recess behind the bench, and
as the argument progressed there could
be plainly heard I'm the courtroom the
clink Of knife and fork on plate and
what o. Henry has called "the crash
Of dishes on ths American plan"
One day lawyer pleading a case
made bold to enter protest He most
solemnly inquired II he could count
upon the continuous and undivided at
tention of even one justice to the thread
Of his argument "The personnel of
the court has been twice entirely
changed since began" he said plain
lively.
The court deigned no response but
on the following Monday It was an.
nounced from the bench that n recess
for luncheon thereafter would be taken
every day from to 2:3O O'Clock and
that The court would sit until 4:30

UTAH'S NATURAL BRIDGE.
fhe Secret of Its Origin Somewhat
PuzxIos the Scientists.

fhe Secret of lts Origin Somewhat
PuzxIos the Scientists.
What is thought to be the largest
satural bridge IN the world Is that of
southwestern Utah. known as the
George natural bridge. The total length
Of this great work OF nature Is about
200 feet; It's whdth-i. g.. the roadway"
is about thirty-fve feet; the span in
the clear is about ninety feet At the
base there flow, small water course
which, during The hot months, dwin-
dies to a mere Ifvulet.
Scientists are somewhat perplexed to
explain the rNans by which nature
produced this bridge. 1t is thought
hardly possible that II could have been
created by water erosion, unless, as
was most unlikely, there was very
large and swift stream flowing at the
point where tie brook now runs.
Some authorities are inclined to the
view that this bridge was due to vol
canic action. occurring at some remote
geological period.
Although long known to the Indians,
it was not until about fifteen years ago
that white men became familiar with
the sight OF II Mining prospectors
were the first ef the whites to see 1t,
since 1t Is located In the heart Of a
very rugged and inaccessible region.
The span Is composed Of a dark
brown sandstone of unusual hardness.
and the thickness Of the span is twen-
ty feet or more.
Engineers who have examined this
bridge assert that 1t is perfectly safe
and secure and that 1t is fully capable
Of sustaining tn immense weight. espe-
cially as the span is free from flaws or
eams.-Washington Star.
