in case of favorable action a reserve
corps will be organized at the Col
lege in a few weeks.
According to the plan outlined by
the War Department, any college or
University in the United States of
high standing can enter the reserve
corps movement If it has one humid
red or over able bodied men ready
to take practical or theoretical mill
tary work. All uniform and equip
ment will then be furnished by the
War Department. While but two
years work is required, all men who
take a full four years course will re-
ceive nine dollars a month from the
government for the last two years.
In addition they will receive temper
airy second lieutenancy upon gradu-
alton for a period of six months.
During this period, when they will
be engaged in military manoeuvers
in connection with the regular army,
they will receive a salary of 500
month each.
Much of the theoretical work re-
CURED by the War Department will
be of such a nature that 1t can be
applied directly upon the college de-
gree. The advantages accruing to
the men participating are many.
Many men. because of their financial
condition cannot complete their edu-
cation. will be able to keep on in
school If they are furnished much
of their clothing, nine dollars a
month for two years of their school
life, and If they are guaranteed $500
for the first six months following
graduation.
This move, IL carried out, will
make 1t possible for Utah to furnish
the government with many officers
in time Of national trouble. The
young men receiving this training.
instead Of being drafted into the reg
ular army as privates, will be given
commissions as officers, upon regular
army pay.

The Modern
Thanksgiving Day.

According to the rhetorical proc
lamations issued by presidents and
governors. and according to historic
al traditions, Thanksgiving day is
a religious occasion. We are to meet
in our churches and publicly render
thanks to God for His goodness. AL
80 in private devotlons we are hum
bly, to express our gratitude.
The average American passes over
all this very lightly, He Is bit
ashamed of religious feeling. If
there is sentiment of gratitude in
his heart he would not confess 1t.
Thanksgiving Day is principally a
day for eating big dinner, unusual

Victims of Drug
Habit.

A determined effort is being made
to enforce the laws against habit
forming drugs. As a result the suf-
fering of these victims comes more
under public notice Unable to get
their supplies at customary places,
these unfortunates are begging for
them at drug stores and doctors Of
fees The number of so-called drug
lends is said to be larger than the
public realizes, A town OF 10000
people will ordinarily have a humid
red or two who have come under con-
troll of this dreadful habit.

their victory with a good deal of
noise. They ought to IL noises will
drown their own thoughts. Let us
see.
To help win his reelection the
Democratic president went back on
his own formally expressed ideas;
prostituted his own dignity; debas-
ed the sovereignty of the Great Re-
public, and assessed the people $780,
100000 per annum to gain the votes
of the members of some labor un-
ions.
1t involved, moreover, the most
corrupt bargain ever entered into by
a president of the United States.
For more than three score years
the one fixed principle of the Demo-
cratic party has been opposition to a
protective tariff. This year it bar
tered away this principle to the sug-
ar trust, the consideration being
from nine to twelve electoral votes.
1t went into control endorsing free
tolls on the Panama canal for Amer
lean coast shippers. At the beck of
the overland railroads vt reversed
that profession and rushed a meas
ure through congress levying the
tolls.
1t went into Office promising a
merchant marine which should be
worthy of the country, and was to
run and prosper with out subsidies or
bounties.
The sudden breaking out of a
great foreign war made clear how
much this country had suffered and
was still suffering for want OF such
marine, but the party in power wat
ched and waited two years, and then
passed bill providing for such mar
len to be run on the private account
OF the government.
The party went into power prom
Using not to disturb and legitimate
enterprise. and never rested until il
placed this country on a free trade
basis. That is. all except the sugar
trust and rice that grows luxuriantly
all the way from the swamps of
Georgia and Florida to the Pacific
ocean.
1t went into power promising alb
solute economy and though 1t pass
ed an income tax law which il
claims has gathered through taxation
from the men of property $25O,OOO,-
600 and has spent the last cent of
1t in the ordinary expense OF the
government.
1t promised the people better food
and clothing.
IL Permitted the brigands Of Mex
leo to rob and murder American
citizens at will, then went into the
late campaign claiming the people IS
gratitude and confidence because II
had kept the country out of war,
And the result justified Villas re-

OUTBREAK
DUE TO DIRTY MILK
SAYS REPORT

There have been several milk-borne
epidemics of typhoid fever in Califor-
MIA during the last ten years, all of
which would never have occurred if
the new pasteurization law, which goes
into effect October 1st, had been in
force at the time that these epidemics
occurred, according to the California
State Board of Health. This means
tfat the 382 cases in the milk-borne
epidemics at Palo Alto, Co.usa, Rich
mond, Taft and Maricopa might have
been prevented. In the Palo Alto cpl
dcmic alone, there were 226 cases
traced directly to infected milk sup
plies, and in the epidemic in the OF
fields, just brought under control
there were 112 cases and the source
cf the epidemic was found in dairy.
The epidemics at Colusa and Rich
mond were of minor Importance as
far as the number Of persons infected
is concerned, but had the source of in
lection not been discovered promptly,
these epidemics might have assumed
much greater Importance.
Tie following table shows the num-
|cer of cases and the number of deaths
tEat occurred in these epidemics:

ruling on the power of boards of
education to force the retirement of
teachers who have qualified for the
retirement salary. The Attorney
General stated in his opinion that the
law Clearly permits the compulsory
retirement for teachers for physical
and mental incapacity only" and that
compulsory retirement relates only to
disability and after Is years of SER
vice in California. Hoewver, the attor-
ney general holds that retirement for
disability can be had for the full sal
airy, $500 per year, in case the teacher
has taught 80 years or more at '-'e
time of retirement The or;-'on coh-
cludes by stating that ''s 1ar as COM
spelling the teacLer to accept retire.
want ;s c.ncerned, it must be appar-
ont that no board an require the
teacher to accept the retirement sal
ary."
On the other hand there is no law
which says that boards of education
may not refuse to employ teachers
who have qualified under the retier-
ment law. Their only protection
would be to have an age limit,of say
&C years, under which no retirement
could take place except for disability.
