Spreading rails, caused by a rainstorm, was responsible for a train wreck near Park City. The engine was stopped In time to prevent serious Injury to the equipment, and no one was hurt.

John Wolf, of Plain City, became euddenly Insane while visiting In Salt Lake City, and began shooting at people on the street. Richard Done was shot in the leg, and several people had narrow escapes before tbe crazed man was disarmed and lodged In jail. A lynching was narrowly averted In Salt Lake one day last week, when a colored man stabbed J. II. Myers, a white man. The colored man fled, and later a crowd of angry men captured another negro, who was entirely innocent, and gave him a severe beating. Mrs. I Chamberlin, & social leader of Albuquerque, N.

Good music seems to make its way, like water, wherever charnels are ojwn for it; and if I have dwelt chiefly on simple melodies it is only because circumstances, not necessity, have hitherto in great measure limited the people's chances to these. It is impossible to mistake the look of joyful welcome on many faces when, for instance, the glorious themes of JVethoven'a concertos flash forth again and again, now from the solo instrument, now from the orchestra. The city food Inspector Is busy these days making the rounds of the dairies In and near Salt Lake for the purpose of making the dairymen keep their places of business In a more sanitary condition and to otherwise live up to tbe law in this and other matters. Andres Pearson was accidentally kicked by a horse at his home at American Fork last week. He sustained a broken rib and fracture of the breast bone.

Criticism, whether it comes from the reviewer, the preacher, the teacher, the moralist or the mother, should be of a constructive nature to have any rightful place in the building of life . Most of us draw our best strength for use in the environment in which we are placed from that inspiring source of hearnot the flattering ing the nice things ourselves. There few mark said about of us who do not are things, you at either or our own shortcomleast, recognize definitely is inherent within ings, and it part of that struggle of us which induces us to hide them or forget them and put our best self forward for the benefit of others in order to be able to get somewhere unhampered by their criticisms. And, somehow', it doesnt seem just right . for you or me to thwart that purpose. The law of suggestion is a mighty force working for good or ill upon this plane of our existence, and used judiciously and with the high moral purpose to aid in the development of humanity it cannot fail to bring the greatest happiness and strength into the life of the individual, the greatest happiness and strength into the life of the individual. I know that you can do this or that and do it well. Only try it. This is one of the foundation stones of success for your husband, your child, your friend or yourself. Fed from this sustaining source, hope, which is a large part of our working capital in whatever we may undertake, grows strong to do and dare and brings us into the full flower of achievement. Instead of striking the paralyzing blows of harsh criticism upon the only too apparent faults of your child, why. not try the more peaceful method of suggesting to him his more lovable traits?

In our generation women have forced their way into almost every department of life. After, you have let them work in your factories, in your fields and mines, in your bars and workshops, in your gardens and postoflicos uud counting houses, after you have let them practice medicine and study law, it is too late to turn buck, or to refuse them the rights of their new position. Those who object to female suffrage, who say that womans sphere is the home, should have kept her there. Too late to turn the key on her now she is not at home. The fact is, that, important as is the in some things, it does not stretch across the whole of life; sex has no meaning in polities any more than in dinner parties. Men and women pray in the same church anil dance to the same music. Both sexes have far more in common than they have points of difference. Why Should one sex he shut out of the polling booth? Why is Florence Nightingales opinion of the candidate for her constituency less valuable than the chimney sweepers? We suffragettes demand votes for women, not because they are women, but because they are Its nobodys business to inquire what sex a voter is,' any more than what color the voters hair is. Once get into your head that the claim of women rests not upon their petticoats but on their purses, not upon their being women, but on their being taxpayers, not on their being our rivals, but on their, being our comrades, and you will escape tangling yourself in a whole network of fallacies. fellow-citizen- 9.

NAVAL WARFARE LAWS Prof. George Grafton Wilson, who will represent the United States at the International conference to be held In London soon. to prepare laws to govern future maritime warfare, Is a man of but 45 years of age, though he has been a professor of social and political science at Brown university since 1891. For eight years he has been lecturer on International law at the Newport naval war college and since 1906 has lectured on that subject at Harvard. That he Is a brilliant man Is testified by the fact that he received hls appointment as professor at Brown at the early age of 28 after very little apprenticeship as Instructor. The average age of professional appointments is nearly 40. Previous to entering upon his career as an educator he had studied several years abroad. He was graduated at the age of 23 from Brown In 1886, received his master of arts degree two years later, hls degree of doctor of philosophy the following year, and then went to Europe to complete hls education. On the other side of the Atlantic be studied at Heidelberg. Berlin, Paris and Oxford during the years 1890 and 1891. Prof. Wilson as an authority on International law Is considered by experts as second to none In this country, if indeed In the world.

Theirhaving value Ilea in the fact that the lectures at Newport never consider questions upon which opinion Is agreed. They blaze new International law trails, and Prof. Wilson's work in this line has affected all recent writers on the subject. He Is frequently quoted and often these lectures are the only source for very modern subjects, such as the treatment of wireless telegraphy In war. BEAT CONVICT LEASE SYSTEM Fred L.
