Utah. Pub-usuiN- tJ Superintendent Chrlstensen r, i v i;: ' i I'. ' i : r of the public schools has complained to tho Board of Education that there is a woeful lack of chalk and other essentials in the schools. The superintendent refers to the fact that the supplies were ordered several months ago but the orders have not been filled. No more attention has been laid to filling the orders than if the schools did not open in September. The superintendent and the Board of Education should not forget that the sign of the trust is emblazoned over every school house door. By this sign America will conquer the world. It is both unpatriotic and ungrateful to complain of a shortage of chalk, or to criticise the price at which it is sold. The trust that furnishes school supplies must necessarily limit the production in order to raise the price. To fill an order quickly would mean an overproduction, which is not in accordance with the brand of prosperity that rules the world. While the pupils of the Salt Lake schools may be out of chalk, they should be made to understand that the condition is one of America the elements of prosperity. must furnish chalk cheaper in Europe and Africa than it can be produced in any other country, hence the shortage and high price at home. This lesson in patriotism should not be lost on the pupils of the public schools. They should learn Belf denial. The world had practically forgotten the old Missouri bandits when their memory was revived by the suicide of Jim Younger at St. Paul. It lacks but a few months of being thirty years since the famous raid was made on the bank at Northfield, Minn., by the James and Younger brothers accompanied by several of their desperate companions. The leaders in the raid were Jesse and Frank James and Cole, Bob and Jim Younger. After robbing the bank the bandits rode away. They were pursued by a posse and several were killed, among the number being Bob Younger. Frank James escaped and Cole and Jim Younger were captured. They were sentenced to the Minnesota penitentiary for life. Both men had been shot to pieces while being taken prisoners but they lived. A few months ago they were given their liberty on parole, but could not leave the state. The suicide of Jim Younger, at the age of 54, leaves only his brother Cole, who is an old man, still suffering greatly from his terrible wounds. Frank James is still alive and is engaged in keeping a small store in a Missouri town. The assassination of Jesse James by Bob Ford is well remembered. might be prevented by a little outlay of money, but the car company thinks human life is cheap, cheaper than getting fenders on its cars. The health department should compel this company to clean out its cars once in awhile. The majority of them are kept in such a filthy condition that they are an abomination. Tobacco juice, ends of cigars, peanut shells, dirty scraps of paper, and other filth are present in such abundance that a lady cannot enter a car without ruining her. skirts, and the general offensiveness is great. of the Assuming that only one-haand council charges made in the city elsewhere regarding the interference of the Mormon church leaders in political and bnsiness affairs are true, the aforesaid church leaders must have an exceedingly busy time. In fact, the wonder is they have leisure to attend to any church matters at all. Almost everything that happens in the council from the confirmation of a fireman or a police officer up, is traced by some people to the Mormon church authorities. Nothing, it appears, is too insignificant for them to take a hand in. . They must surely be verging very close to omnipotency and omnisciency, the way they are represented as issuing instructions about things. Its a pity, that some other members of the council who are supposed to be immune from church dictation hadn't somebody- to instruct them. They certainly stand in great need of it. lf The committee of the Commercial club which reported that 10,000,000 gallons of water daily could be ob tained ' from the wells at Liberty Park at a cost of $40,000 has been buncoed, clearly and squarely buncoed. In the first place not a quarter of that amount of water could be obtained from that source at any cost. In the second place it would cost more than $40,000 to bring into the water works system a million and a half gallons daily, from the Liberty Park wells. In the third place the water from the Liberty Park wells is only the percolation of irrigating water which comes originally through the canal from Utah Lake and is not fit ,for drinking or culinary purposes. It would contaminate the good water with which the system is now supplied. There are some advantages in being poor. The city has no money now to spend for water-antherefore cannot just now be jobbed into squandering anything on such a fool propoPresident of the Council Cottrell sition as the Liberty Park wells showed the small calibre of man he is unby his unwarranted and altogether just attack on Health Commissioner Just why the street car company is King and the health department.

The annual holiday sandbagging pro- ject of the Salt Lake newspapers goes merrily forward. Not content with the continuous advertising patronage of the merchants during the year, the syndicate press turns loose a horde of hold-u- p solicitors to worry and bullyrag the business men of the city and coerce them into offering gratuatous gifts in support of special holiday editions. Most merchants are led to the belief that advertising bills are high enough already without boosting them by contributions to fake' special editions.
