Wniskey bottles were found in meeting limine dedicated to the worship of (ioi) at Randolph. Neplii, I'rovo. and Huliust. A little j i rt at Kphriin, the daughter of tile Methodist, mill-isit-r there, had her face, hair and jieck covered 1 y tohaeco pittlo from a youu man ai that place. Lrhi hoys violently violent-ly entered ii residence ther and iissatilied u newly m.-ide groom ut the wedding reception, and in the presence of the hriilal parly, and. later, another p irly iht-iv of youthful drspentdotu repealed the act. A few weeks since at .Spanish Font soin young men nearly killed an old man hy blabbing him with a pitchfiii k, just because tit iioble old fellow insisted oil pro tectiug his 6-year old grandson from there being thrown into a water ditch. There arc being om milted murders, rapes, burglaries, burg-laries, robberies and petty theft." in every direction. So far. Springville has kept her skirl cionp ira'ively clean. As a rule, this city has not been annoyed by this wave of crime, by tlii torrent of loathsome oll'enes. However, Uo has now made start, and that starting poiut is the placing of a money value vipon the grave otfense ol iis.taultiug a maiden. It costs $10. There ii something lovely in womanhood that all admire, that all revere, thai nil worship purity. He tdieclnd in homely gowns, but with the covering of chastity she is attired in all that can hold the attentive re-fpect re-fpect of those with whom he ii walking along the pathway of life. Uob of her Urn, and life is changed forever by I lie-wonderful lie-wonderful chemistry of there Infinite Designer of theae temporal tem-poral homes, and hy tt .curious mechanism known only lo Orxl himself. She is detrded even ly him who bus despoiled her. "Take the liltU girl of tendff Years, scut on an errand by her parents. On the trip she hears words she ought not to hear. She reiuember!i them and uk at home what they mean, and fcometintes even before she lia9 laid aside her lint. The same with the little boys. Know, they will. Up to thig tints they liavo been innocent prattlers. They had been curefully guarded by parents against all associations associa-tions that tended lownrd too arly acquiring a knowledge of vil thoughts. Later, when having arrived at the age of discretion and capable of fully understanding all that is implied im-plied by the beasts who delight in despoiling the oncoming youth of purity, there is time enough if it must be know. , But the assault, whether it bo Against the person or against the ettHO ofbeariug of a child, fchould by no means be made the subject of a money valuation. It is prostituting the cense of honor of a whole community. It is bidding for the selection of a justice who later on, will low-T low-T the pric, for a political consideration, con-sideration, ot assaulting womanhood, woman-hood, and is establishing a precedent pre-cedent that may return and yet plague this people. The highest high-est price is now $10. Tho young men are by no lneaus the ones solely to blame. Their Vilcnens is opplaudcd.ty n class of ns degraded young women as tver hated those of their sisters whose thoughts are ure. These contemptible female fe-male caricaturer are ready to be snatched from the very door-iv door-iv nr.. of a temple hy lovers I 12.00 . . . - 1.00 .no who are ashamed to bo seen associating with them in divine worship, and, with them, singing hymns of praise. These female cartoons will even knowingly dance and attend 'lances with drunkards, who undoubtedly became intoxicated so th-y would not have a too keen real izing sense of the females with whom they associate. A severe disease needs drtic remedies, a caustic potash to bii lit out the ulcers. It is not needed to coddle the wart, the boil, nor to heal the body of the people from this unwIinlcsoiiM annoyance; but rather should there be applied that medicine which tlu.ll produce pro-duce healing results after the knife of the faithful stirg-on has cut the way for its euraiKe properties to perform their destined des-tined purpose. We all have the good name and fair reputation of Springville. Spring-ville. and Utah within our keep-iug. keep-iug. It is a great trust. The example here set hy our people, whether for good or evil, will heal or bruise. It is far belter to use gentler methods, nnlier than to publicly apply the lush. Belter still to bequeath to the lender youth an utter absence of these evils. Who cannot en joy the iiinoci'utly expressed thoughts of a child, without being benefited, refreshed? They are, an 1 should be, the pets of their neighbors. They belong to all of us. They are ours to look upon, ours to protect. Those who hav n little older grown yet more need I his protection, and it must lie given even though the beasts who would harm them be permanently per-manently placed on a reservation reserva-tion Keep whips from the collections col-lections of the children's toys, ubolish the bounties on birds, encourage respect for elders, cultivate in the tots a hatred for all forms of cruelty and brutality. It is far batter, and is exposing more humanity, than later on to ask us to cry with you because your son is to he hanged, or your daughter is not. to be longer named. Utah, if the ensuing 'months are repetitions of the past ones, must hang her head in shame. Iler people must confess that she is incapable of self government.? govern-ment.? If these fruits of unlicensed unli-censed licentiousness still continue con-tinue ripening, the strong arm of martial law must be invoked to write a new statute in blood, using such words that will, for a generation at least, be ho plain and so easily understood that all L'tonians will tdirink before they again care to snatch these dear destroyers to their anus. LET'S BUILD IT. It has been truly said that Satan always has a job for idle people, and the conditions surronding our city are such as invite our closest scrutiny into the prevailing disorders and the best corrective means lo apply. There are too many young men idle. Supposing that a circular cir-cular letter was issued to each young man in Springville and the circular contained questions to ho answered what would the general answers to be these queries? "How many days have you worked in 189S between January Jan-uary 1 and June 30?" What was the average wage paid you?" ''Have you worked whenever an opportunity was olferodl'' 'If not, why not?" Hero we liavo a mnvor, five councilmcn, four bishops, one minister, and a marshal, all selected from different walks in life, men of experience, who if they would get together for that putpose might solve the problem. It would be a good thing to have a large sugar factory fac-tory here, and many other concerns con-cerns that might give employ ment to our idle labor. Hut they have not yet seen fit to locate lo-cate here. Then the attention uiust be turned to something else. If we cannot secur the presence of large ones, we might by persistent effort build up n greater number of small ones. A few might be mentioned: Thoroughbred stock, starch, canning fruits and vegetables, silk culture, sugar making, more creameries, cheese factory, brass foundry, iron foundry, fruit culture, cul-ture, making pickles, vinegar, jelly, and there many more that might be suggested, 'filestores here are carrying in stock many tilings bought from beyond our ! borders that might be produced j here locally, then the entire ! money they represent might bo kept at home, and better than all else, employment would be given to our idle labor. It is u serious mistake to give up to the assertion that Spi ing-v ing-v i I It has reached the limit of her growth. We should never accept, t hat as a correct conclusion, conclu-sion, because if the same i approved it means that ail the young men who are naturally ambitious and energetic beconi -discouraged and go out into the world i.'nd Springville is left to content herself with the ctilU. This alone represents a money ioss amounting to many doiUr yearly. In this way Canada is estimated veaiiv giving to the United SlTues $l6,U(M,M)0. To stait the movement, the proper person should call lo-geihera lo-geihera small number of men and I'orirulaie a plan of action, and the ladies mighldo as much fur the women. Something on the plan of a small i;Musi i ial school might, bo the very best thing to look forward to. Not lo get, them all at tlm same calling, call-ing, but have them develop themselves by learning and then following a trade. Nver mind'about lf to 1 or the single gold standard. Let the oUice. seekers talk to oilier-, for we have no time to listen while mischief is brewing because be-cause our young people are idle. It is better to educate now rather rath-er than later on lo imprison, line or perhaps hang seme one who, if properly trained, might have proven a wonderful business busi-ness organizer. Soon this people will be called upon to divide oil' on the question of politics. ".To save the nation," and incidentally perhaps foist some undesirable person into ofiiee. It is very prroer 4jr'l-J''' decent book's shmflil feVjU-prr from public libraries", nrtd for that matter from private ones also; but touching the former, the wrong means are used to accomplish th end desired. Instead of simply excluding the objectionable volume, without comment or discussion, a set of high sounding resolutions must be adopted by the library board ami published to the world. Curiosity is an inherent attribute attri-bute of human nature, conse jquently the public generally, who perhaps would never entertain enter-tain a thought touching the book, are aroused to hunt it up, and by personal examination satisfy themselves as to the correctness nf the judgment of the board. Mr. Edward Everett Hale sums up the whole matter in a nutshell when he says: "Nobody is so happy as the nasty publisher of a misty book if the director of a public libary is foolish enough to say it is nasty." Hereafter, suggests tho St, Louis Star, let library boards simply exclude the book without comment, and the end .will be accomplished without bestowing upon the publisher n class of advertising that money cannot buy.

The blurred mental stale from I he first stage of action ol alcohol on the bruin is of short duration and quickly merges into an anasthetii: physical and in'mlal stale: when courage fails and fear and fcuspicion become nroininent- W'e tiuote from a noted man ! as to the general aptitude of the I use of alcohol m the com missiou I of crime: ' I am aware there is a prejudice preju-dice against any man engaged in the manufacture of alcohol 1 believe from the time it issues from the oiled and poisonous worm in t ;o distillery until it empties into the hell of death, that it is demoralizing to everybody every-body that touches it, from the source to where it ends. I do not helieve that, anvtxxlv can i contemplate the subject without being prejudiced against the crime. All they have to do is to think of the wrecks on either side of the stream - of death, of the suicides, insanity, poverty, the little children and despairing despair-ing wives asking for bread; and when you think of thejail.the alms houses, the asylums, the prisons, the scaffolds on either bank, I do not wonder that every thoughtful man is prejudiced preju-diced against this vile stuif called alcohol.

It covers the land with idleness, poverty, disease and crime. It, lills ymr jails, supplies your alins-liouses, and demands your asylums. It crowds yur penitent iat ies, and furnishes lli'.- victims for your ScuH'olds. It, is the life-ldood of the panihler, and the support of the midnight incendiary.
