SO the good and grand old f . " V I r. t i T HT TRU -- 8 Pope, Leo XIII, is about to die, and before this goes to press he may have passed away. He has lived nearly a fuli century, and for more than a quarter of that time has been the head of the strongest religious orgacfzation the world has ever known. While he has occupied the chair of St. Peter sev&n men have occupied .'the presidential chair of this great republic. It has been a long and successful reign, and during that time the world has made great progress. Too much cannot be said in praise of the aged pontiff. He has lived a life of exceeding purity. He has been aggressive, and at the same time he has counseled moderation. There have been no religious wars or riots of any note ir which his adhere ents have taken par. As a diplomat and an executive he has been equaled by but few of his predecessors, and as a devout Christian he has not been excelled by any of them. He has been not only a noted personage of his time, but his beneficent influence will extend through all time. He has been a friend to America and a friend to liberty. He has helped to bring in closer touch all the Christian nations of the earth. Under his teachings the brotherhod of man has been strengthened to a living reality. Within recent months he has been visited in person by the king of England and the emperor of Germany, the two strongest Protestant nations of Europe. Fifty years ago such friendly demonstrations would not have been tolerated, and a hundred years ago they would have been characterized as .sacrilege by all parties concerned. His death will be a cause for world-wid- e regret will Catholic and Protestant which in be alike sincere.

Donatus Donnelly, who was fired some time ago for organizing a company to march to the defense of Ireland, got behind the speaker, waved an Irish flag over his head and called for recruits for the army of the republic of Ireland. This was too much. The police cleared the building. The affair was only partially suppressed by the papers. But the New York Sun printed the story on the front page. It is needless to say it has never been published in this city. o WATER SODA FOUNTAIN VS. FOUNTAIN. It seems difficult for. a soda fountain and a water fountain to perform their respective functions in the same immediate vicinity. The incompatibility between them is so pronounced that a divorce, absolute, is the only remedy so far discovered that meets the requirements. The soda fountain when situated in a drug store has been found to be the stronger factor in the contest. It is necessary- for the water fountain to vacate without alimony. The testimony of the beneficiaries of the two is not admitted in court; their rights in common are not considered. The overheated and horde of women and children, thirsty to say nothing of the men, are denied the privilege of a gratuitous draught of water without opportunity to enter a protest against the decree that the water fountain must go; even' the panting dog is obliged to move bn and forego the privilege of cooling his parched tongue in the water that formerly spattered so cheeringly on the pavement. To them all The Old Oaken Bucket becomes a sweeter, but a more distant memory. The water fountain at the corner of West Temple and Second South streets has had a hard struggle to serve the public for many years. On account of missing cups and broken cups its usefulness has been sadly abridged. Later, from some defect the water failed to flow and for several weeks the fountain has been only a joke, and a very dry joke at that. The end came last Monday morning when the irony of Fate by hot winds and scorching sun seemed to delight, in magnifyibg the old fountains troubles by meeting out an ignominious dismissal. The fountain was torn down and carted away. With plenty of water to spare and an army of employees to keep the means of its distribution in repair the city has seen fit to curtail without cause a most necessary convjenlence. Here is a splendid opportunity for the W. C. T. U. to inaugurate an aggressive campaign instead of a negative one and provide drink for those tfho - - thirst. . to |
