THE BIG PHEASANT
.::- DRIVE CALLED OFF.

~ m slad the English pheasant drive
was abandoned" said Assistant At
torhey General Charles H. Morris, who
wrote the opinion given by Attorney
General Garnett that under the state
otEacts the shooting was legal though
out of season. THE abandonment pre
serves the spirit Of our game laws,
though the letter of the law did not
forbid the drive he continued
Il was afraid that the idea might
be gained from the statement concern
ing the opinion that anyone could cap
.turc and domesticate wild game birds
and thus acquire the right TO shoot
them on his own game preserves at
any time. Such is not the fact. Mr.
Ballard purchased his birds in Eng
lahd and they never We're wild birds
IN TINS country. They were domestic
fowls from the outset so far as our
game laws were concerned, although
ne could not have permitted them to
run wild off the preserve for any per-
lod Of time and then recaptured them
and continued their Identity as do
mestic fowls But under the state OF
facts presented to us, those were do
mestic fowls and the owner had the
right TO XIII them at any time he saw
mt. He could go out and wiring their
necks, If he desired
From this, however. it must not be
gathered that man may go afield
during the open season, capture game
birds and take them home and domes-
ticate them, so that he can kill them
out of season. The proprietorship in
wild game birds is in all the people,
and no individual can by any means
divest the people Of this ownership
and acquire the exclusive ownership
in himself. | doubt whether he could
pick up eggs of the wild birds, take
them home and hatch domestic
brood from them.

no one will be misled to his own un-
doing"

who was then a classmate of his and
and afterw9rd was a fellow graduate
Of the Law Glass of 1914. While in
school this young couple became very
much attached to each other and be-
fore leaving school they both wisely
decided to- have some future under
standing and the fact that they are go
ing to marry is positive proof that they
planned something like this while in
school, Mr. Kirk is to be highly com
plimented in securing Miss Brink for
bride because she was the only girl
in the law class of about 200 students

HOW DRY WE'LL BE.

Bulletins have been issued to Utah
agents of all "common carriers, - rail
roads and express companies, by the
traffic officials of these companies,
giving strict instructions not to re-
ceive consignments of liquor for ship
ment into territory declared to be dry.
These instructions are in accordance
with the provisions of the Funk bill
passed by the last Utah legislature,
Accordingly there will be no further
shipments through and out of Utah
points except as provided for by the
terms of this bill.
Under the rules and regulations of
the interstate commerce commission
any package consigned to common
carrier for transportation may be
opened for inspection by the agents OF
the carrier and heavy penalty is pro
vided for against any consigner OF
freight or express matter that is i'm
properly classified, there being evident
intent to evade the law.

rity and innate goodness of mankind.
Vanderbilt, in terms of worldly wealth.
was worth many millions of dollars; his
conduct on the Lusitania when death s
hand was near, proves that he was
worth far more than that.
Meanwhile, it would be interesting to
know with what heart and in what
manner Ebert Hubbard met his fate.
AS close student of human nature and
a philosopher ON life, Hubbard has for
years stood out as picturesque and
distinctive character. His friends are
sure that he met death manfully.
Doubtless among the humber and less
conspicuous victims of the Lusitania
there were equally admirable demon
strations of courage and manliness. In
the second cabins and the Storage there
doubtless were many willing to sacrifice
themselves in an effort to save their
fellows. Danger breeds courage in the
hearts of true men and such disasters
as that of the Lusitania bring out rare
human qualities which otherwise might
have remained hidden.

VANDERBILT'S LAST WORDS.

Attention has been called to the last
words of Charles Frohman as he went
to his death with the ill-fated Lusitania.
"Why fear death?'' he said as the
ocean liner took its plunge; death
is the most wonderful adventure of
life
Equally heroic and perhaps even
wider appeal, says the Desert News. is
the last recorded utterance of Alfred
g. Vanderbilt, multi-millionaire. who
also went down with the Lusitania.
T" Come said Vanderbilt to his valet
as the boat begin to sink after the
shock of the torpedo; come, let us save
the kiddies.'

London yesterday while presiding at a
meeting of the Waifs and Stravs So

way no millionaire s millions could ever

Salute to the Flag for Schools.

At given hour in the morning, the
pupils are assembled and in their places
in the school. A signal is given by
the principal of the school. Every
pupil rises in his place. The flag is
brought forward to the principal or
teacher. While it is being brought for
ward from the door to the stand of the
principal or teacher, every pupil gives
the flag the military salute, which is
as follows:
The right hand uplifted, palm up
ward, to line with the forehead, close
lit. While thus standing with palm up
ward and in the attitude of salute, all
the pupils repeat together slowly and
distinctly the following pledge:
~ pledge allegiance to my flag and
to the Republic for which it stands
One nation indivisible, with liberty and
| Justice for all. - {:
| At the words, as pronounced in this
pledge, "To my Flag each one ex-
tends the right hand gracefully, palm
upward, toward the flag until the end
of the pledge affirmation. Then all
hands drop to the side. The pupils,
still standing, all sing together in unison
the song "America -"My Country,
'Tis of Thee.'
| In the primary departments, where
the children are very very small they
are taught to repeat this instead of
the pledge as given for the older chill
dren:
~ give my head and my heart to God
and my country.
One country, one language, one flag.
In some schools, the salute is given
in silence, as an act of reverence, un-
accompanied by any pledge. At sig
nal, as the flag reaches its station, the
right hand raised, palm downward, to
a horizontal position against the fore
head, and held there until the flag is
dipped and returned to verticle posi-
ton. Then, at the second signal, the
hand is dropped to the side and the
pupil takes his seat.
The silent salute conforms very close
~ to the military and naval salute OF
the flag.
Principals may adopt the "silent sa
lute' for a daily exercise and the
"pledge salute for special occasions

Senior Milan said that the forgeries

was another reason why people
should feel treasured. He also said
differences were perceptible from the
legitimate Vera Cruz issue, the first
being defective. The lat

cry, but both were good.
