Morally, financially, socially and industrially, there has been a marked improve ment The effect of reducing the crime was immediate. The population of the city jail has decreased so that | the contractor who fed the prisoners and formerly had a good thing, re l fuses longer to take the job Home life has been greatly benefited. Money that went for drink is now going for the comforts and necessities. Gro cers report better business and bet ter collections.

Not one of the evils pre- dicted by the opponents of prohi- biti0n may come to pass, but the benefits far exceed the anticipation, Thousands who voted against prohi, bition now have become convinced of it's success, and are ardent advocates of extending 1t until it becomes effec, tive throughout the nation"

5lmETALLIsM MAY
FOLLOW SILVER RISE.

The San Francisco Chronicle says
editorially:
There is reasonable ground for the
expectation that the money question,
which so many supposed was perma.,
nently settled by the United States
adopting the gold standard, will again
be reopened. The rapid rise in the
price of silver is directing attention
to the possibility, and evidence is ac-
cumulating which points to the ad-
vance being, in part at least, influen-
ced by the belief that the demand for
q great quantity OF basic money can
not be met by the present or prospec-
tive output of gold, and that a resort
to bimetallism will become necessary.
IF this opinion gains ground the
attitude of the classes with divergent
interests will become a subject for
speculation. 1t is not impossible that
the former opponents of bimetallism,
the So-called creditor class, may be ar.
rayed on the side of reconciliation of
silver, In which event 1t is not likely
that the contest, II precipitated would
be a prolonged one.

=. following article is taken from
last Saturdays issue of the Salt Lake
Herald-Republican:
Reorganization of the Western Pa
cific railway and construction of sew.
eral branches and feeders for the road
were discussed at a meeting of the
bondholders' committee and the re-
ceivers of the road In San Francisco
on Wednesday. E. w. Rollins of Bos-
ton, head of z. H. Rollins & Co., who
have the reorganization of the road
under supervision. declared last night
at the Hotel Utah that the. bondhold-
ers intend to make Of the Western Pa
cific one Of the best paying roads be-
tween the intermountain country and
the Pacific coast.
The reorganization plan, he says,
embodies the turning in of all bonds
to the holding company to be organ.
lied, and that the holding company
will then issue $2O,OOO,O0O In bonds to
build feeders and branches, one of
which includes a road from Salt Lake
to Boise through the Raft river coun-
try and the Twin Falls section.
This has been the alternate route
OF the Winnemucca Northern, which
has intended to build a road with the
aid OF the Western Pacific from Win
nemucca, Nevada, to Boise, through
the Jordan Valley of Oregon and a
number OF other rich valleys in Oregon
and Nevada. 1t is estimated that this
road will cost between S7,50O,000 and
100000. Mr.. Rollins also said that
the plans OF the reorganization COM
mittee include construction of a road
from a point on the Western Pacific,
north of the Oakland Mole, to the San
Joaquin valley. A number of spurs
and branch lines into the valleys of
Nevada and the different valleys in
California, which are at this time be.
ing devoted to the citrus fruit industry,
are included in the plans.
"As soon as the courts dissolve the
receiyership and as soon as the hold.
Ing company is formed" said Mr.. Rol-
Inns, I'VE will go to work and make
Of the Western Pacific one of the best
railroads in the west The road has
to beat the Southern Pacific from the
California fields to the east to get the
business, and while the operating de-
partment Is in charge. of the movement
of trains, the financial interests, be.
hind the new organization intend, to
take charge Of the operating end and
see that trains are delivered to con.
nections in Salt Lake half day ahead
Of competitive roads. which will mean
a day or two days ahead Of these roads
at delivery points. We are going to
make the Western Pacific a road
which will pay its own way, and at
the same time give service.
THE Boise line will be built, but
whether 1t will 60 through the Twin
Falls country or from Winnemucca, is
to be determined"

MOTHERS
DAY..

The second Sunday in May is Moth
ers Day. This year it falls on May
14th. The beautiful thought Of setting
aside one day in the year to be par
tcularly devoted to ones mother was
first suggested by Miss Anna Jarvis
OF Philadelphia, who founded the
Mothers Day International Associa-
ton to provide the necessary organ
lied support for the fostering of the
movement. Thanks largely to her eff
forts, Mothers Day has become q re-
cognized institution as the day on
which each of us should pause to &C
knowledge our depth of affection and
gratitude to the best mother who
ever lived" on which we should be
with her If we can, and. il we unfortu-
nRtely cannot, should make a point of
sending her message of affection and
cheer
In cooperation with the effort to
foster the observance Of Mothers Day,
the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany has provided special telegraph
blanks, appropriately decorated with
an artistic design of carnations and
bearing the legend Mothers Day." on
which all messages of those who wish
to send word of greeting to their
mothers on this occasion, by day letter
or night letter or in short telegram,
will be delivered.
The emblem Of the day is the white
carnation, and it Is the hope of the
Mothers Day Association that 1t will
be worn by every one as a tribute of
respect, not only for his own mother
but also for all the gentle and noble
motherhood of the land.-Churchill
