the defenseess. And If we send thief to the
for term of months or years to
expiate his crime of Misrepresentation of the chat
tells Of other people, we should have some form of
punishment for the drunkard that would be pro
poronate to his offense. believe there was whole
some discipline in the old time whipping post,
barbarous it seemed, and for the sake of this
kind of an offender it is pity that such speedy
form of retributon could not be restored. Wher
society collectively makes itself the arbiter of the
rights of it's units, and invokes the traditional
laws to adjust differences that arise between
them it exercises a necessary and imperative
function but when society stands by and connives
at this form of robbery, and shuts its eyes t.
the spectacle of pauperized women and suffering
children, it is weak nay, almost vicious in its
indifference.
"When the chance of education of Christian
training of social recognition, Of proper clothing
of quality and quantity of food to eat are all sac
rfced to the unreasonable appetite of human
monster who has become lost to all the bette
instincts of life; when the family alter whic'
has been consecrated to love and devotion to com
mon cause, becomes a pandemonium of riot and
vice and degeneracy through the selishness of
one individual, then society should step in and
show its strong hand and adopt some remedy fol
this outrageous perversion. When we recall the
fact that the vice of the drunkard does not end
with his own life but that he hands down to
posterity the real physical defects that he has
brought upon himself that he often transmits
epilepsy, dpsomana, insanity and predisposi-
ion to crime the duty of society becomes NOR,
Imperative than ever"
Any person having acquaintance with Dr.
Middleton, would naturally expect a good deal of
him through the medium Of his book which w

reading it critically any will feel in the slightest
degree disappointed.

THE FARMERS ROUNDUP.

JIM ROM February 3 to IL, inclusive, at the b.
IL A. c. in this city, will be held the annual
Farmers Roundup and Housekeepers' Confer
ence the sessions of which proved so popular last
year. At that time the B. A. C. established new
record of attendance for the state, population con-
sidered, and everybody was enthusiastic over the
splendid instructions given. With the advertising
that the institution received at that time the
attendance this year should be far in advance of
what it was last year
Every single farmer and grower of livestock,
horticultural and housewife of southern Utah
should make it point to attend. The informa-
ton disseminated on agricultural and kindred sub
ects and on housekeeping and home economics,
are invaluable, and should be eagerly absorbed by
Ill our people.
The dates have been changed so that the
roundup will be over this year before any of the
early spring work commences, and there is no ex-
cuse for anybody failing to attend. Rates are
announced on the Salt Lake Route for the occasion
as well as for all the other round-ups to be held
contiguous to its line.
The good effects of the instructions given
last year have been plainly manifested in the
strides this section has made in an agricultural
way, and all we can say is, keep the good work
rolling. Next to increased capital, we need moth
ing worse in southern Utah than scientific train
ng along industrial lines-a commodity that the
3. A. c. through the medium of it's regular
curses, its winter courses, and its annual round
ps-is rapidly supplying, and its effects will soon
begin to tell in the development and progress of
the southern counties Of the state.

DIR. MIDDLETON'S BOOK.

MONG other acceptable gifts received on
~ Christmas by the editor of The Record
was a copy of Dr. Middleton's book, after
Twenty Years" being dissertation on the philos-
ophy of life in narrative form. 1t came at busy
time and it would be folly to undertake to criti
else or comment on work that we had not read
we deferred opinions until we had found time to
read it.
The purpose of the volume, the author states
in the preface, sis to discuss the philosophy OF
life in a concrete way, avoiding the tedousness
that must attach to dissertations on honesty and
charity and courage and the many virtues and
vices of society when presented in the abstract.
"An attempt has been made to weave into the
warp of narrative my wool of philosophy, with
what success must leave the reader to judge.
1.-THE question naturally arises, Are these real
characters and the answer is that in the main
they are. have reserved the right, however, to
vary my colors and to modify my pattern accord
ing to my own design"
The above gives very good understanding OF
the character of the book, and while it is interest
ing TO follow the narrative, and trace out and
guess at the identity of the various characters as
they are introduced the work is chiefly valuable
for its philosophical reasoning and deductions
AS an example of these, we reproduce the follow
ing excerpt showing the authors version VI
drunkard, and as time passes may make other
quotations from the philosophical pages OF the
book, with the consent of the author. In discus
sing one of the characters of the book the author
says:
"A drunkard is worse offender against socie-
ty, in my judgment, than thief. His delinquency
is more imminent and far-reaching in its conse-
quences than the crime of the man send to jail
for petit larceny. The thief does not apprehend
the goods of poor people, because they have no
chattels of commercial value to him. He takes
from those who while they may feel the chagrin
of being defrauded are yet possessed of all the
necessities of life. But the man who wilfully
takes the money which is the product of his toll
and which by the laws of God and nature belongs
to helpless wife and dependent children, and
appropriates it to his own selfish, unrighteous
purose rs one who robs the needy and csefpeoie

TOO MANY LAWS TO ENFORCE

TyHIS nation as a whole, and almost every
state in it-this one not eXcepted-suffers
from too much law making Senotor Root told
the American Bar Association that in five years
from 1909 to 1918, inclusive, Congress and the
State Legislatures passed 62,014 laws. No one
knows how many thousands of laws were in force
before 1909, but the 62,014 new ones repealed
many of those previously in force, and amended
many more, with no end of resulting confusion.
Relatively few of the laws are vicious enough to
work direct HARM but hundreds of them are harm
full ndirectley, for they are unnecessary, inconss
tent, and impossible to enforce.
Next Monday the Utah legislature will go into
session for sixty days term. Of course the ma
jority of the legislators, and especially the new
ones, will want to go on record doing some
thing. There are other senator's and representa-
tves who are chronic bill spinners, who through
force of habit reel them off by the rod, and the
legislator who keeps cool head, and has club
ready to kill new and needless legislation, is about
the greatest benefactor the state has.
We do not mean to assume that all new legis-
lation is bad, or that the door should be closed
hard and fast against all new bills but each leg
islator should wait to become fully convinced that
there is need for certain measure before intro
ducing or supporting it. 1t is the history of each
succeeding session of the legislature that the time
of the assembly is largely taken up in the con-
sideration of silly and unimportant measures,
without which the state is better off, and the
slaughtering or side tracking of these redundant
bills forms no small part of the work Of the legis-
lature.
Be moderate and considerable, Mr.. Lawmaker,
and do not permit your anxiety to do something
to lead you into doing lot of useless and sense
less bill writing.

The Red Cloud chief., 1915-05-20

the crown prince had set out for the
capital Of a small kingdom in the
west OF Europe, under stringent in.
structions to offer his hand to the
monarch's daughter. .
"The manner in which he did so Is
well known. Harshly ignoring the
conventions of love.making, he blunt
ly approached this young princess in
a ballroom, and, in bare words, asked
her II she would become his wife. The
girl, no doubt under equally strict
%compulsion, gave her assent. adding a
profession of fidelity and submission.
The crown prince instantly turned
away, and that was all that ever

courtship.

which she desired to consult me.
Her majesty received me In her

| being present, a mark OF confidence
which touched me profoundly. We
had not met for six years, and ] was
distressed to perceive the change
which had taken place In this exalted
lady. Her finely cut features bore the
marks of suffering, and the exquisite
gayety which had formerly distin-
guished her had become overcast.
Doubtless the sad fate OF her rela-
tive, the king Of Bavaria, had done
something to effect this alteration, but
the chief cause, l more than suspected,
was the anxiety given to her by the
conduct of her son.
ut Is needless for me to repeat to
you the kind expressions which the
empress was pleased to make use OF
on thus meeting me again. 1t was her
first words on the subject of the
crown prince which reused my alarm.
"T have hoped, NJ. rAmbassadeur.
