UNLESS SOMEBODY ELSE BACKS DOWN

II UNLESS either Manderfeld of the Salt Lake
Route or State Engineer Beers, have been
Kidding" and should back down. Cedar City will
have a branch railroad between this place and
Lund pretty shortly. The people of this section
of country have been waiting forty years for Just
such an offer as was submitted through Mr. u T..
Jones recently, and they are not slow to seize it,
Those ties will be Forthcoming as soon as the
State and the Salt Lake Route can arrange to
make use of them and it is now up TO our North
ern friends to grid up their loins and go to work.
The wagon road which separates the settle
ments on this side of the great basin from the
rails of the Salt Lake Route is hard one to main
tain. and about the only way it could be made
passable in all kinds of weather and for all sorts
of vehicles would be to apply heavy coat of shale
or other appropriate surfacing material. This
in itself would be expensive, but it would not even
then solve the question and bridge the chasm, for
there are all the towns from Parowan to Saint
George that are camorng for better connection
with the rail road Already the road from Paro-
wan through the Parowan Gap to Lund has been
designated as State road, and before it is good
highway much of it will also require surfacing.
But line of railroad from Lund to Cedar City
which is central point-the whole problem will
be solved until such time as road can be project
ed down through the settlements. 1t will place
sqa 10 cps s!q} no uo3oes s!ql liz IoJ lq5!sIJ qua
valley, on the hard, well-graded state highway,
from whence it can be freighted in either direction
conveniently and economically. 1t is question
with which Engineer Beers has been wrestling for
long time, and this, seemingly, is the solution
he has arrived at.
The building of this road is the reasonable
rational course and judging from the express
ions heard thus far, will come very nearly receiv
ing the unanimous approval of the people of the
southern counties. At any rate there are enough
heartily in favor to make the furnishing of the
ties foregone conclusion, if the other interests at
work will perform their part of the compact.

THE THIRST FOR OFFICE.
HEDAR CITY has certainly produced spe-
cifc for that Unsuitable thirst for office with

NEDAR CITY has certainly produced a spe-
Y cifc for that Unsuitable thirst for Office with
which many towns are afflicted There is no such
thing as surfeit of office-seekers here The only
difficulty here is to find men competent who are
willing to accept of office. Since the three polit-
ical parties held their precinct primaries and NOM
mated their city tickets, there have been no less
than four designations from the tickets, besides
number of destinations of nominations.
1t may be that some of the other towns of the
country would be glad to learn of the remedy we
have developed here, and as we see no object in
preserving the secret We pay our mayor and
each councilman the princely sum of 500 per-
annum; the recorder gets about three times that
amount and the treasurer the same as the coun-
cilmen.
Cedar City is getting to be quite town, and
there is good deal of business connected with
the administration of the affairs of the munich
pality, particularly when water systems are be-
ing built, extended and repaired; street improve
ments made, clean town contests conducted, and
the other little incdentals looked after, including
the catching and prosecution of the illicit liquor
dealers, which is one of the most pleasant and
refreshing pastimes of the mayor and city coun-
Gilman The city marshal for staying up all hours
of the night as long as he can hear a war-whoop,
as well as being on duty all day, receives the mu-
niicent emolument of $50 per month, and the
watermaster and supervisor, for wallowing like
hippopotamus in the mud and water hunting for
and repairing leaks in the city mains, receives a
like bequest The remedy is most effectual we
can assure you. And yet the Lord knows our
taxes are high enough, and we do not feel like any
greater expense was warranted.
The question is, what are we going to do about
it? Under the present conditions the man who
accepts of office in the city is phanthropist and

there would soon be great deal more. AS only
so many trips per day as the traffic warrants need
be made, it appears as if the road econom-

But regardless of whether it pays dividend or
not it is the thing this part of the country needs
to develop it, and the people cannot think of pass
ing up this opportunity of getting road.

THE people of Cedar City as we'll as the stu
dents of the B. A. c. are assured a genuine treat,
or series of treats, by the strong and fascinating
Lyceum course that has been arranged for the
present school year at the B. A. c. Some of the
numbers on this course are of the very highest
class that it is possible to get in any city. They
are brought here at very heavy expense, and
the people should show their appreciation by their
liberal patronage.

HOORAH, for Walter c. Mitchell of Parowan !
He not only profers the use of his sawmill to cut
ties for the proposed railroad at actual cost, but
agrees to subscribe for from one to two thousand
dollars worth Of the stock in the road besides !
Where is there another man in Iron county who
will duplicate this offer. Walter c. Mitchell is one
of the big of this county, and is deserving of
the confidence, esteem and support of the whole
people.

LIES GREATEST MIRACLE HAS COME TO THIS
CHILD BECAUSE "SHE DIDN'T KNOW
BY JANE whitaker

On the South Side of the city there
is little girl by the name of Georg-
ina. She is only IA and not tall for
her age and she wears dresses to her
shoe-tops now, though six weeks ago
they we're just below her knees, and
she wears her very pretty hair in two
braids down her back.
Until six weeks ago she went to
school every day with other children
of her age, and her teachers found
her a very modest child, with a gen.
tie, sweet disposition, and the neigh
bors who watched her passing with
her schoolbooks said, "Georgina is
good little girl; she isn't a bit fresh
like many girls of her age and she
never runs around; you never see her
out at night"
The neighbors still say that Georg-
ina is a good little girl, but she doesn't
go to school now. She stays at home
minding a little doll that she doesn't
quite know the meaning of, but that
she enjoys just as children enjoy dolls,
though this little doll is not a me-
chanical one, but very human, very
hungry and very enhancing little
baby boy.
The little doll is her very own and
she is its mother. The miracle of it
is beyond her comprehension and the
mother of Georgina wipes away
scalding tears when she watches
Georgina playing with her baby as
little girls of her age play with dolls.
And in the same neighborhood is
Tommy, boy of less than 16, that
Georgina claims is the father of the
little doll, and the boy doesn't deny
it, though he isn't bit more enlight-
ened as to how such a miracle oc-
CURED.
The tragedy would seem quite COM
plete with just those two charac-
tiers, Georgina, who is IA and the |
mother of baby, and the lad of Is |
who is claimed to be the father, but |
the tragedy goes still further, for the |
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1915-06-11


that little baby that came into the
world without single thing prepared
for it and without a single human be-
ing knowing it was coming, he viii
blacken irretrievably the reputation
of the little girl-mother, who has been
called good little girl by the neigh
bors and very modest child by her
school teachers, and he is bringing
into court three other boys who have
the greatest respect for Georgina
and trying to make it appear through
other witnesses that Georgina, who is
little mother at the age of IA, was
bad girl.
It isn't at all probable that he will
be able to blacken the reputation of
Georgina and it is quite probable that
he viii be forced by the juvenile court
to do something toward the support
Of the little baby that his boy is will
ing to acknowledge he may be re-
sponsible for bringing into the world.
But the tragedy goes still further.
Georgina was very little more than
13 when the beginning Of the miracle
occurred, and Georgina had a very
modest mother who DIDN'T believe in
telling her little daughter anything
about the miracle Of life. She felt
that ignorance is virtue and she
would have been very indignant had
any one suggested that Georgina
should be enlightened about this
thing for her own protection. She
would have told you that the child
couldn't do anything wrong"
And the mother of Tommy never
bothered talking to her son about
the miracle of life. Though she is
also the mother of four daughters, it
is her opinion that any girl who is
guilty of doing a wrong" act with
a boy is simply bad, and if she adj
mitted that her boy could do a wrong
act with girl she would say that the
girl must have led him on. But she
would never have discussed the beau
tiful miracle of life with her son.

This summer has been a most
strenuous one for the Ninth dis
trict's able representative in the
national congress Of law makers.
For about two months he was en-
gagged in road building, part of the
time shoveling dirt in the trenches,
loading pond scrapers, carrying a
chain for the surveyor, setting off
dynamite blasts, carrying water
for the work hands and running
endless errands. More than all
this, Mr.. Garrett contributed liber-
ally Of his money toward paying
for much Of this work. It's NIGH
ty nice, don't you think, to have a
congressman who will aid in these
}. bablic improvements with his la
Sbors and bis means? Garrett is
thoroughly awake to the needs Of
road improvement and may be
counted upon to dohis part, both
as a citizen and as a law maker.
