PULSE OF THE PUBLIC

Editor, The Times: The dam
ger of fascism and nazism Is
from within our own midst. 1t
has its roots in an outworn
social economy and ignorance
OF universal principles; support
ed by people who deep down in
their hearts don't believe in 1t,
but who have, through false and
nefarious propaganda, fallen VIC
Tins to race and religious hat
red as means of way out; an
old world formula designed to
dynmite democracy out Of exist
ence.
Poverty in the midst OF plenty
doesn't make sense. but race
and religious intolerance doesn't
either, because that is an alta
vistic emotion. retarding and not
promoting progress.
The essence of life is love and
the governing principle of love
In wisdom.
Love has many aspects. Self
love is the first and lowest,
natural TO primitive and quasi
civilized people up to a certain
point, after which it is time to
get acquainted with universal
love, the highest aspect which
30 comparatively few people
know anything about. This N
the reason why It is so easy to
convince many that nazism and
fascism is the perfect way, not
withstanding that 1t Is the way
back to barbarism.
Heed The Masters Iniunc-
ton" Love Thy Neighbor as
Thy Self" is a universal and
patriotic way. and nazism and
fascism wouldn't have a chance
because universal love accom-
panied by wisdom will expend
the ideals of all the other
phrases of the love principle to
its highest. hottest. most devins
point in the human spirit.
To say we must reject part of
the people to save the other part
is not only cruel but silly; laugh
able II il were not so tragic.

HOROSCOPE
SUNDAY, JUNE 10. 1889

This is not an important day
in planetary government, ac-
cording to astrology, but it is
rather lucky for women and
their minor interests.
Under this sway parents may
have difficulty in directing their
children who may be head
strong and inclined to ignore the
conventions. Churehgoing may
be avoided while this configura-
ton prevails.
The date should be lucky for
informal entertaining and for
outdoor recreations. 1t is prom
Using for short trips, unless air.
planes are the means of trans
portation.
Although the stars presage a
remarkable increase in travel by
air and many new safety inven-
tons there may be an increase
in the number of fatal accidents.
This should be favorable rule
for aged persons. Their advice
will be much sought and several
elder statesmen will perform i'm
portant services to the nation.
Care in diet and in the safe
guarding Of drinking water is
enjoined. Epidemics affecting
the digestive tract may be prev
alent.
This is a promising date for
romances. The young may en-
gage In whirlwind courtships
and impulsive marriages, but
divorces are to be less common
than formerly.
Persons whose birthdate ii is
have the augury of a year of
happiness and success. There
may be an urge toward extrava-
gance in dress and entertaining.
Children born on this day
probably will be very ambitious,
kindly and charming. These
subjects of Gemini may have
varied talents that interfere with
concentrated activity.

IRON one OF the readers Of
L this column and a member Of
the Stadium high school class
OF 1909 there comes a commune
cation concerning the recent
thirtieth ann versary of the
group. Thirty years is a long
time The boys and girls who
took that commencement seri-
ously now are getting along

Many of the group have gone
on TO places of greater privilege
as well as responsibility in the
field of education; several are
still on the Stadium faculty
roster; others have passed on to
enjoy the elysium which is the
reward of a useful life. And
if you ask the "Naught Miners"
they will tell you that they can
conceive of no more useful life
and none more deserving of
reward than one spent trying to

They did not always think so.
AS some of their own children
do now, they thought the men,
bers of the faculty were a bit
old-fashioned - nice enough as
school teachers but not equal
to keeping up with the pro-
gressive ideas of the new gen.
Grafton that was then coming
on. Looking back through the
perspective of the years they
get an entirely different picture
of the men and women who
guided and pushed, and in some
cases almost kicked. them
through four years of high
school work.

Charter Applied for by
Ely A. f. of l.. Group,

Several representatives of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor were in the
city yesterday in the interests of the
organization of the the miners employed
at both the Pioneer and Zenith mines.
They stated that charter for the
employees of the mines had been APP
piled for and a series of meetings were
being arranged in the near future for
the discussion of matters pertaining to
the organization.
The first of these meetings will be
held on Sunday afternoon at the Com
munity Center. The delegation made
the statement that the larger part of
the miners of Ely had signed the
membership roll and that more would
sign as soon as the organization was
perfected.
A rumor as to the excessive cost of
membership in the A. F. of L. has been
circulated and which was declared bunk
by the committee on organization.
They stated that the cost to the men,
bers is $10O for the initiation fee per
member to be sent to headquarters and
cost of $500 for charter and sup
plies enough to operate the union for
one year.
The per capita tax to the A. F. of L.
| is SO cents per member per month.

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE
YOUTH OF ELY

"As YOU all well know, winter with

We people here in the northlands do

sibilities of this winter wonderland,
but I have an idea, that think would
work out very well, if everyone unites
in cooperation.
My idea is to more fully use the adj
vantages of this snow mecca. To ex-
plain it further, why don't the young
people here organize a Winter Sports
Club? I see no reason why such club
wouldn't be a wonderful success. OF
course, the details could be worked out
at the first meeting, but suggest that
any boy or girl, who has either a
toboggan, sled, or skis, and who is be-
tween the ages Of, say, Is to 25, would
be eligible to join. They could easily
pay small dues, such as 10c month OF
so, to finance weiner roastS and such

FORSEE ADDED
MAIL SERVICE
Chances Good for Extension
of Service, Inspector for
Postoffice Believes.

Prospects for the extension of the
city delivery service, which would mean
the addition of another carrier, look
bright, according to Acting Postmaster
John A. HarTi.
Service would be increased to include
James, West Chapman, North Camp
and North Chandler streets, all of
which now have sidewalks.
Hugh w. Fleming, inspector with the
postoffice department, was in the city,
Wednesday, among other things gather
ing information material concerning the
proposed routes. Fleming indicated
that mail service in areas where new
sidewalks have recently been built is
highly probable.
Recently Acting Postmaster Harri pre-
pared map showing the location of
new sidewalks and sent it to the post
Office department asking that residences
bordering such newly constructed walks
be included in the delivery service.
