CALIFoRNIA's EXPERIMENT.

California is to employ 20 per cent
of its convicts the coming year on the
roads The scheme contemplates en-
ploying a larger proportion every sue
ceeding year until all but the shop
men are on the highways. The IN
quirer must not make the mistake or
confusing the California plan with that
which disgraced most of the states OF
the south for many years, and some
of them yet, viz: the gang system
under which contractors paid the state
so much per man for their labor, and
were in turn paid by the state for the
completed roads. In the California
instance the state employs the men
directly, and their hours are reaSon-
able.-Lawrence Journal-World.

FOOLISH PROPOSALS.

There is some very foolish talk
floating about in the newspapers about
the proposal that the United States
should vote the Filipinos their indie
pendence and then should agree to
stand by them If any outsider under
took to annoy them. How simple it
all sounds. But it might be well to
stop and consider who would be the
Filipinos after we had for while let
go our paternal but necessary hold.
There would be, of course, prompt
uprisings among the agitators* In
short time it would be as much Ques-
ton which was the government as 1T is
today which is the government of
Mexico. Nobody of intelligence can
doubt that the government" that we
did not stand by" would line up with
some foreign power and we would be
in it all over. That could not fail to
happen. People who theorize about
the Philippines and about Mexico but
who have never seen the people about
whom they weave their theories are
not safe guides to follow. The cold
fact is that they do not know what
they are talking about. Leaving the
Filipinos to walk alone and assuring
them that if they get into trouble we'll
be there to stand by them is as broad
an invitation to trouble as this country
could eXtend.-Hartford Courant.

THE IRON COUNTY
ELECTRIC LIGHT PLANT

After reading the editorial of last
week in The Record regarding the
present need of another electric light
plant at Parowan, we feel perhaps
that the necessity of such a move on
the part of our citizens has not been
thoroughly explained. We are some
what surprised, however, to learn
through this article that there are
Parowan people who are not sufficient.
ly acquainted with the situation to
understand why the proposed plant is
an absolute necessity.
The facts concerning the matter
are these: Our present plant is a
single phase, alternating current
plant of 80 horse power capacity, and
especially built for lighting purposes.
Experts have made a thorough ex..
animation Of it and it has been found
that by an outlay Of $4,000 the plant
could be put in condition to furnish
sufficient electricity to meet the de-
mands for pumping purposes, this sea-
son only. In other words, applica-
tions have already been made for
electricity this season, to furnish
which would take the entire output of
the plant, after charging it at an ex-
pense of $4,000. This sum will go a
long way toward installing the pro-
posed new plant, the capacity of
which will be 500 horse power, i'm
surfing sufficient electricity for at least
a number Of years.
The present will be the first year
electricity will have been used here
for pumping, and pump wells are just
in their infancy. It has been abso-
lutely proven in other places that /,
is by far the cheapest and best power
for the purpose; so it does not require
a very great stretch Of the imagina-
ton to look forward to the time wher
we will need other plants to irrigate
the many acres of rich, productive
land in our valley, which lie above the
artesian we'll belt.
Regarding our present plant, it l:
now in use two days in the week
with constantly increasing de
mands, and undoubtedly it will b
used to its full capacity in the neal
future in furnishing power for light
ing, heating, motor service, etc
However, it is totally inadequate t.
furnishing power for pumping ser
vices, and it would be very unwise
under the circumstances, to spen'
$4,000 in patching it up in order t.
make its capacity just equal to tn
present seasons demands.
The questions have not been settle'
on hastily, but only after securing tn
best expert advice.
Conditions here demand the ne,
plant, which is no experiment, but
MOVEMENT in the interests Of the val
ley and its inhabitants.

child life there are different kinds Of
amusements all of which should be
judiciously directed and supervised.
The children should be taught to be
honest and fair in their play, as a
habit of unfairness and dishonesty
acquired in childhood is likely to af-
feet their characters later in life.

the Sunday School teachers is one OF
the topics to be treated during this
session Of the conference. illustrated
the need and Importance of the pre-
paration by the careful manner in
which the skillful housewife prepares
for the making of good bread, Said
that imagination is very necessary in
the preparation of the teacher for his
work and to illustrate its absorbing
power related an anecdote of Sir Isaac
Newton. "Teacher should always be
prepared to explain all the particu-
lars in relation to that which they
have to teach, but if ever such should
not be the case, they should never at
tempt to hide their ignorance by pre-
tending to knowledge which they dc
not possess" II is important that
children should have full confidence
in their teacher and should love them
but such will not be the case if they
pretend to knowledge which they dc
not have. They should always recog
nize and speak to their students, ans
this they will do if they love them
Children are quick to notice lack o.
sincerity in their teachers. Told
story of little boy, who, when asked
by his father why he did not care TO
a very nice young lady, who was cal
