Young, ex-offic- io coroner, who will determine whether an JUDGE WEBER RETIRING chief justice Weber, of the state supreme courts, has had a long and varied career as a public official, and practicing attorney. In 1892 he was elected county attorney in Weber county, serving two two year terms. He later ran for the post of State Attorney General on the Democratic ticket but was defeated with the party. From 1895 to 1918 Judge Weber continued in politics as one of the outstanding leaders; and at the latter date was named on the democratic ticket :for the supreme bench. Mr. Weber will retire to the private practice of law with offices at 424 Commercial building. Salt Lake City, and will also act as referee in Bankruptcy, a Federal position to which he has been recently appointed. dcmo-.crat- ic CHARLES R. MABEY jyiANY expressions of good will go with former Governor Mabey as he leaves the State House after four years of upright service as a public official. No one doubts that he has done his duty as he has seen it; and tho political paths are devious and we don't all see alike on public questions, our hat is off to our former Governor. He is a real man, a good friend and worthy rival. He has given Utah a first class administration. In line with our plea for political sportsmanship, therefore, appearing elsewhere, in this issue,, we wish you Mr. Maybe a long and prosperous future. THINKING COMPARATIVELY few men are physically lazy, but many men are afflicted with mental hookworm. Most men will work hard at any kind of play play that does not require much mental effort. Few men are idle, but thousands are intellectually flabby. Reading is of no value save as a system for killing time, unless you think of the ideas the writer has omitted. The writer that completes every thought or sentence, leads the reader as by a rope. The reader who reads to stimulate thought, receives a big benefit from almost any writer. How many minutes each day do you devote to downright hard thinking? The men who have made outstanding successes in this world have thought for hours and hours each day of their lives. We say a man is idle when he physically does nothing, but he is worse than idle when he no longer thinks hard daily. The unthinking will scowl at this statement and say that it is not true that they can get along without thinking. But the thinking man will smile and acknowledge that the test of achievement is how many hours each day are devoted to purposeful thinking By F. D.

Rugg of the Massachusetts supreme judicial court, and Charles B. Warren of Michigan, former ambassador to Mexico. The nomination of Mr. Stone meanwhile must await action by the senate which referred it to its judiciary committee. It is not expected to come before the chamber again for several days. The resignation of Justice McKenna from the supreme court after service there since January 26, 1898, was made known with unusual ceremony, Chief Justice Taft making the members include Dr. Widtsoe, who was a member of the Special Advisory Committee investigating for the Reclamation Bureau during the past year. They recommended a unit for construction oT this project, and that unit consisted of a dam at the Echo 0 site to store, with a capacity of acre feet of water a diverting canal to divert surplus -- water in the Weber River to the Provo River for use by canals diverting from the Provo River, and the diking of Utah Lake. The Echo reservoir is located on the main Weber River, approxis of a mile southmately east of the town of Echo. The dam proposed is of the earth filled type, with rock riprap face. As contemplated it will be about 123 feet high, and have a top crest length of 1800 feet. The estimated cost is approximillion dolmately two and one-hal- f lars. The construction of the dam and reconinvolves the relocation struction of approximately five miles of the Park City branch of the Union Pacific railroad and about four miles of the Lincoln Highway. At present 74,-00- three-quarter- both the railroad and the highway are located in the proposed reservoir bed. At present no construction has started and will not until Congress makes money available for the work, and contracts satisfactory to the secretary of the interior are entered into by the parties who will use the reservoir storage water.

Ordinarily, such an announcement would have been made at the White House, and felicitations such as were exchanged between the chief justice, speaking for himself and the remaining members of the court, and the response by the retiring justice would have been made public after the latter had left the bench and returned to private life. The unusual proceedings, however, were arranged as a mark of the deep affection in which Justice McKenna was held by his associates. After he had concluded the reading of. a letter to his colleagues the court and the entire audience in the chamber- arose and remained standing until, with bowed head, but firm step he had withdrawn to the robing room.

Those interrogated expressed deep regret over the death of their schoolfellow, and in evidence of this the campus flag has flown at half staff. Dr. George Thomas, president of the university, declined to comment on the tragedy further than to say that it was regrettable and that unless the student body takes some action looking to the elimination of all hazard from their hazings he will likely recommend to the faculty of the school that an order be issued forbidding participation in such violent exercises under threat of ex- Children Geneva.

P YOU do not keep dean internally your looks and health are undermined together. A dogged intestine breeds poisons that reach every part of the body. These poisons ruin the complexion and undermine health. Constipation brings on such ailments as headaches, bilious attacks and insomnia, each of which saps your health and vitality. Avoid Laxatives say Doctors Laxatives and cathartics do not overcome constipation, says a noted authority, but by their continued use tend only to aggravate the condition. Medical science has found at last in lubrication a means of overcoming constipation. The gentle lubricant, Nqjoi, penetrates and softens the hard food waste and thus hastens its passage through and out of the body. Nujol is not a medicine or laxative and cannot gripe. Like pure water, it is harmless. Take Nujol regularly and adopt this habit of internal cleanliness. For sale by all druggists. NtulJoI KB A. ULS. PAT. OPP. For Interned Cleanliness " |
