The Domestic Science movement
Is emphazing several points with
great force that are worthy the at
tention Of every housewife. One
of these is that with competent train
Ing any woman should be able to
save probobly laundry work. The
Domestic science experts say they
know In their own acquaintance a
great many women who are doing
that. They are perfectly good house
keepers. yet they have half their
time free either for social life, for
literary and study club work or for
philanthropy. A great many Of
them use II in some money earning
occupation outside the home.
II is the testimony OF these active
housekeepers that they could never
in the world have done IT, had 1t not
been for the training they had had
in domestic science. Also they could
not live on their husbands incomes
at present prices. had they not had
domestic science training.

Afraid of
Themselves.

The attempt of the legislature to
missioner to see that the law is en-
forced Is a sad reflection upon the
democratic party. 1t is said that the
reason thereof is the inability of the
respective counties and municipalit-
les to enforce the law. The last ell
ection swept nothing but democrats
into Office, and if the enforcement of
the law is in jeopardy the democrats
are to blame. They should have
selected men that can and will en-
force the law. But after all we do
not believe the charge they make
against themselves We have con-
fldence in the men elected and be-
lieye they will generally give as
good an account OF themselves, or
better. than a Prohibition Commits
sioner will give of himself.
We are against the scheme from
the outset, and trust the members
of the Legislature from this county
will vote and work against it. 1t
will carry with il good sized salary
and there will be ne end to contin-
gent expenses in Salt Lake and Og-
den, and we see no reason why the
outside counties should be put to
such an unnecessary expense. We
would advise that citizens through
out the county drop Senator Funk
and Representatives Carbon, Smith
and Jones q line asking them to vote
for state wide prohibition to be en-
forced by the paid officials of the
yarious cities and counties, and to
cCt out the creation OF commits
sioner to draw a good big salary. and
spend the peoples money for contin-
gent expenses.

The Young Man
In Politics.

One of the newer men prominent
in political life this year, is Keith
Neville, 33 years old, said to be the
youngest governor Nebraska ever
had. 1t is not often that a man of
33 gets to be either a governor or a
Congressman.
Very frequently you hear il said
that a certain candidate is a young
mans candidate. Tho younger SET
in cities and towns frequently take
the bits in their own teeth and get
out to land some favorlte.
Youth is great winner in bust
ness and science nowadays. But
politics is kind of elderly mans
game, in which depends knowledg,
of human nature does count a lot.
In so far as political success de
pending on winning enthusiasm the
young man has a great field. His
warmth of sentiment, his expansive
friendliness, win loyal support. His
associates will get out and work
hard with no expectation Of personal
reward. They land great many
young fellows in the early stages of
political career before their minds
are mature enough to grasp the
political issues at stake.
But it takes a long head to stay
in the game. The politician needs q
I keen intuition as to how ideas are
going to strike the common people.
| Every day he is compelled to con
front some new proposition. His
instinct is to dodge and stay on the
fence as long as he can. But when
the roll call comes, he has got to line
up one way or the other. Frequent
ly he gets on the wrong side.
Success in politics depends equal
ly on the art of handling men. 1t is
great gift to be able to reconcile
hostility and appeal to opposite types
of people. Only by long experience
or an exceptionally keen institution
can man reconcile all the conflict
ing antagoisms that block the path
of an aspirant to a governorship or
congress. A governor of 33 yeras of
age is an interesting figure. He may
have a big future ahead of him and
again some single mistake may end
il all in a day.

We Miss
Him.

Senator George Sutherland of Utah
was defeated at the recent election
and will not be a member of the
Senate after the 4th of March. His
absence will be loss. Progressives
and radicals generally, and people
unfamiliar with the Senate were ac-
Customed to think of him as a stand
pat Republican. That designation
did him an injustice. He was al
ways courageous and very able. In
looking at new measures he was new
or unrriendly, but merely discrim-
mating. \ slight line upon him is
furnished by an incident which oc-
Cured in the Senate during one of
the closing days of the year. I'm
auimous consent was asked to set
Friday January 3, as the date for
a vote on the bill prohibiting the
manufacture and sale of liquor in
the District of Columbia. Thereup-
on this colloquy;

Naval Careers For
Young Men.

The death of Admiral Dewey con
centrates attention on one of the
great naval careers of American his
tory. AS our young men read the
dramatic story of George Dewey's
life, with its thrilling climax at Man
lila Bay, a great many of them will
be fired with the ambition to enter
this career. If the United States
should be drawn into war, a great
many young men now obscure would
in day become figures of history,
Those who long for money maxi
ing will not choose navy life. Re-
publics are ungrateful, and most of
our heroes have never received much
financial reward
But there are many solid advant-
ages in a naval career The strict
discipline OF these little Kingdoms
on shipboard produces a very self
controlled and we'll ordered type OF
character. The Navy men are alert
mentally, and erect physically and
morally. Their drill makes them
quick thinkers. The possibility OF
war makes very brave and resolute
fellows. Any family with a naval
officer among its boys is prouder of
him than of the money makers who
stay at home and enter business.
Naval officers say that the navy
has a more democratic spirit thar
the army. The various grades of
the shipboard life meet in close
quarters. and artificial distinctions
could not live long.
American sentiment had decided
that an increase OF our navy is neces-
sary In these times OF world anarchy,
and we need many bright young
fellow- In our ships. They should

Follow George
Y. Smith.

A member of the legislature is re-
ported to have 'hot-footed it to a
prominent attorney in Salt Lake for
assistance in the preparation of a
bill for introduction in the legisla-
ture. When asked what was the sub
iect of his bill he said he did not
know, but would like the attorney
to make a commendable selection
and get it in proper form. This
member evidently thought it neces-
sary to introduce a bill. II he will
forget it. and follow George Y.

service to the people OF the state.

Magazines And
Postal Rates.

The magazines have been protest
ing bitterly at Washing ION again c
the proposed increase OF POSTAGE on
their issues that are shipped more
than 800 miles. They argue that q
two cent stamp carries 4 letter from
Maine to California, and they cam
thoir publications should go any
where on the same basis. 4ls ua
parcel post has been established on
zone basis, the rate being depend
ent on the distance a package wa
carried. No one has claimed thai
this was unjust.
The magazines are exceedingly
bulky. The labor handling them
must be very large. and 1t is greatly
multiplied by the distances covered.
The magazines reply that the ad-
vertising in their columns originates
a great deal OF mail business that
tends to increase postal revenues.
But inasmuch as so much mail bust
ness is done at loss, there is a ques-
ton if these publications are entitl-
ed to any special favors on this
ground.
1t is hard for the average man to
see just why the magazines are en-
titled to any special favors. If q
private corporation We're running the
post Offices, the cost of carting these
great bundles all over the country
would very soon pay a charge pro-
portionate to it's value.
II is necessary for the commercial
unity of the nation that letter post
age rates be low all over the coun-
try. High rates for long distances
would impede business. But a low
rate of magazines is no such neces-
sity. The standard magazines would
be widely taken anyway, even If the
readers did have to pay a bit more
for postage. And there is a raft of
trashy publications that would be
put out of business, with no one the
loser.

dailles to the effect that a bill pro-
posing joint Finance committee

troll for all state institutions was
being considered. leads one to ask as
10 whether or not the Journals"

that the Journal" published a Salt

ornor was against the joint board of
control. which would "liliely settle
the matter"

a report in a Salt Lake paper please

hand 1t is apparent from Mondays

lnion on such an important matter

soon develop sufficient backbone to
voice its opinion. In the meantime

The Press and The
Taxpayers.

1t Is remarkable fact that taxpay-
ers who pay the bills for all legisla-
tive action have least to say as to
what shall be done.
Laws creating new Offices, COM
missions and burdens for taxpayers
to meet are framed up by men who
do nothing else and very few of them
pay any taxes.
These experts are at work contin-
ually getting up new political de-
vices and members of the legislature
meet them face to face every day OF
the session.
Legislators seldom or never have
chance during 60 days sessions of
meeting the taxpayers who finally
pay all expenses and whose bust
ness is affected
1t behooves taxpayers to form
leagues for their own protection Just
as strong as the organized body of
experts who get up new laws and
try to put them over.
Those who sweat and bear burd-
ems Of government are only heard
through tho state press and news
papers are flooded with plausible de-
mands from the army of organized
ofIicialism.
