After being divorced for ten years, a Kansas City woman called on her former husband recently and took a shot at him. Not time nor change can alter a woman's love. It is said that there are a few $1,000 counterfeit bills in this State. It would be just the luck of some country editor to get one of them in payment for back subscriptions. Next time the United States offers to do a disinterested deed of rescue, the beneficiaries will understand that it expects to be paid sooner or later.

We don't want to do Admiral Sampson auy injustice, but his official letter to Secretary Long declaring that warrant officers should not be promoted to commissions com-missions in the navy because they have not the "social stand-" stand-" ing" that officers should have, comes very strangely from him. ' Sampson was the son of an ' Irish day laborer with whom he 1 worked on the roads until he went to Annapolis. The man who boasts that he takes ' no' interest in polities L thereby admits that he is not a good citizen.- It is the duty of every citizen to take an interest : in politics, not as . an office-seeker, office-seeker, but as an intelligent and conscientious student of the ' Issues which'involve the policy and the welfare of the country. The man who has nothing to do with politics has no right to complain if the Government is not wisely conducted. If there arerfaults of legislation and administration, ad-ministration, he partly to blame for them. ncil Resolves to Bond. Perfect' . . .., ratification of the citizens meeting ten days since, the City Council passed a resolution Monday night committing the city to bonding for the purpose of building an electric light plant. This means a special election in order that the bonds may be authorized formally by thecommunity. From the present pres-ent indifferent attitude of a large number of our citizens, it is not difficult to forecast the result. It is probable that an expensive bill for the election will be the only tangible result. The Independent is opposed to bonding while the Big pasture remains unsold, but it seems that the effort to sell it must again meet with failure. We would favor the bonding, however, how-ever, rather than lose the electric elec-tric lights. An electric light system would, in the end, unless un-less all the laws and conditions involved should act differently here than they do in other localities, lo-calities, be a source of revenue and might lead to the doing away with city taxes especially, if assisted by a revenue from a water system. In any event, a very complete and exhaustive campaign of education ed-ucation must be carried on to create a sufficient sentiment favorable to the proposition to carry it through. The work should be done mainly among the young voters who will have the burdens to bear, and who will be benefitted principally by all progressive action. Most of them have been abroad enough to appreciate and desire the new things; besides, they do not longer want to blush with shame when they think of the backward back-ward and unprogressive state of their native town. r. s , r-- . t. -iy Ago. In the street-corner mass meetings every day may be heard voices raised in argument saying, "When I was a boy, we had to use tallow dips for lights, and if they were good enough for me, they are good enough for my children." This argument is sometimes varied, but the meaning is always the same, and it is needless to remark that it is aimed at the electric light proposition. This is the most heathenish, unprogressive and un-American argument which could be brought to bear, and it is a sad comment on the state of some minds when it is said that it carries weight. But sadder yet is the fact that a few seemingly bright men are using it. Three thousand years ago the ancestors of this people were living in huts in Great Britain and Europe; they were clad in skins of the wild animals whose flesh they ate; self preservation was the only law they knew, and a crude form of idol 'worship their only religion. And they growled and fought at the attempts at-tempts of progressive peoples who wished to civilize thera. Savagery was good enough for them and their children, and tbey wanted to remain in that state; logically, then, should this people be where tbey are today, when their forefathers were content with huts and skins and raw flesh, and in a condition beneath that of the Lamanites? Logically, then, ought we to make any attempt at progress Jvhen what our futh-ers futh-ers had was good enough for them? In other words, then, if our fathers groped around in the semi-darkness of tallow . dips because they could do no better, we must of necessity do as they Do Not Trifle i with danger and remember every cough or cold means danger.

Why did our fathers work hard all their lives and endure privations pri-vations if not to better their conditions and make things easier for their children? ' No man of our race should use such an argument as that mentioned in the first paragraph para-graph without a blush of shame. We cannot shirk the responsibilities responsi-bilities civilization lays upon us. "Progression" is and must always al-ways be the watchword. - Unfair to Local Papers. Some wholesale houses are resorting to a new fad to secure patronage from retail dealers. With certain orders offers are made to supply customers with printed bill heads, letter beads, etc., free of charge, all of which is baneful to the interests of home papers and contrary to the principal of home trade. The country newspaper is deserving de-serving of all possible local sup port, and otters of the kind stated should be ignored by the home merchant. The word "free" simply amounts to a baft. Like all other inducements of its kind, the purchaser has to pay for all of the so-called gilts. While calling attention to this matter, we take occasion to refer to another diversion of patronage from the home paper. We often observe firms using business forms printed in Provo and Salt Lake. The withdrawal of such patronage is both unfair and ungenerous to the local newspaper fraternity. Such a condition of affairs possibly exists ex-ists in every vicinity, and the country press has a right to kick against such undeserving treatment, treat-ment, and condemn the same with the strongest adjectives that can be used. tHve a Kind Word. Don't kickl If somebody is prospering or getting along a little better than you, let him prosper. Dou't grunt and grumble; don't kick. Say a good word for him, look pleased and let it go at that. If you see your town is getting along nicely, feel good about it. Help things along. Shove a little, and try to get some of the benefit bene-fit yourself. Dou't stand around like a bump on a log and waste your time feeling sore because some other person has had the sand to forge ahead and prosper. pros-per. Do a little hustling yourself, your-self, but don't kick. If you are sore and disposed to say something some-thing mean, keep your, mouth shut. Don't kick!

We are helped when we help our brother. Be ready .to give a kind word; give it liberally; it won't cost you -a cent? and you may want one yourself some day. If you want to throw something at somebody, let it be roses, boquets or cologne. Don't throw mud, don't kick However, if you must kick, lead yourself around behind the smoke-house and take a good kick at yourself. The Young Man's Chance. A young man born in this country .today has reason to congratulate con-gratulate himself. He comes at a time when our young men have before them the .greatest duties and the greatest rewards. The very atmosphere of the land is instructive and educative. educa-tive. It is in the air that there are important things to do, and nobody lacks urging and incentive incen-tive to prepare himself for future 4tJies" e can 8ee on everv tiand fields which are sure to develop, into which he may enter, and, by striving with brain and brawn, secure himself high position. From farming to war the chances of success are innumerable, and the profits large. They are ready to hand for those who are just entering the' world as infants, and those who brave it as young men of age. The twentieth century holds something for everyone. Business is Business. The publisher of a newspaper has one thing to, sell and one thing to rent. He has the newspaper news-paper to sell and the space in his columns to rent. Can any one inform us why he should be expected to give away one or the other? He can, if he chooses, and he doej, as a matter '"fictKJeU8" a great deal of space rent free But it does not follow that he ought to be expected ex-pected to do so, if it be recognized recog-nized as a contribution, exactly as would be the giving away of coffee .or sugar by a grocer. Hut strange to say, it is not looked upon in that light at all; and yet everybody knows that the existence of a newspaper depends de-pends upon the rental of its space and the salo of the paper, just as a merchant's success depends de-pends on his selling his goods instead of giving them away. A Few Pertinent Ps. Persons who patronize papers should pay promptly for the pecuniary prospects of the press have a peculiar power in push-iug push-iug forward public prosperity. If the printer is paid promptly, and his pocket-book kept plethoric pleth-oric by prompt-paying patrons, he puts his pen to paper in Deace, paints his pictures of passing events in more pleasing colors, and the perusal of his paper becomes a pleasure to the people. Please paste this piece of proverbial philosophy in some place where all persons can see it and please pungle promptly. . AOoodThlng. German Syrup is the special prescription pre-scription of Dr. A.
