uec chance and inclination tj say ofeach other what ma with sincerityand judgment be said

Mr Igleheart says he vaked upThursday morning and grinned at therejection that no man on earth coulriake hint get up The expretwiaa typi-fies

AN ADVERTISING ASSET

Later in the present month the Asso-

ciated Advening Club of the countrywill hold a convention in LouIsvillet 1 one of the best policemen known tofane will address the meeting on ThePr pr Policing of a City a ValuableAcUrtibine Asset That will be agood convention for some Salt Lakemn to attend

In the time when all discerning peo-

r were applying hard names to theTammany society of New York thesimple fact was that the finest police

frce in the country was maintainedthere Graft may have had Its influencein the offices higher up But the manon the beat was Intelligent and capablelie vas brave and resourceful Helooked like a guardian of the people anda preserver of order And ha was Nonrnttor what the university uat gavehim his education whether Columbiacollege or the Bowerythe crossing polireman and the patrolman on the beatwere dependable-

Like tie Jingo Englishman they werenot looking for a fight But If one came

f up they were prepared for ItplentyThcy didnt carry clubs and they didntdraw them unless It became Impera-

tively¬

necessary And when they diddraw the logic was just what it Is inTexas when a man puns his gun Ithad passed the period of conversation-

We do not believe the Salt Lake po¬

lice force is all that it should be One

of the things which could be done byway of improvement would be to teachthe men to carry their clubs In theirbelts and not in their hands There aresome other things that could be done inbetterment of the force The necessityof that sort of thing will be conceded-

in the light of the Louisville lecturethE estimation of a police force as anadvertising asset

Salt Lake Is a pretty worthy city Thecasual visitor the man who Iis going tohelp fix the worlds estimate of thetown sees the policeman and udges

local conditions in a big measure fromthat worthy

Let Mr Barlow and Mr Bransfordtrd a few others who could have In

f uonop with the administration go to

I Ilsville and learn what a live poUee

ri <in may advise

FIRST AID TO THE WORKINGGIRLRather an Interesting prospectus is

that of the Chicago woman who isteaching working girls how to get alongwith their employers without either theemployer or the girl being any thethe worse for the engagement-

The promoter of the scheme proposes-to teach girls just how to be nice to aman in the office without giving himlicense to address her on the street Shesays there are many mothers of goodfamilies whose daughters have caught-the rage for working the fashion ofearning their own money The carefulmothers cannot keep their daughters athome and they dont want to let themventure unprovided into the jungle ofthe Chicago store or office

If the mothers had done their duty bythe girls there would be no need nowof a school of behavior If a girl hashad the good example of even averagemothers there is going to be little dan-ger

¬

for her when she gets out In whathas been loosely denominated theworld And if the mothers havebrought up their daughters badly itwill need more than any course In anrarcollege for those girls to fit them-selves

¬

for selfdefensePeople who travel abroad have made-

it clear to people who stay at homethat the American girlt perfectly safeeven in the capitals of Europe And that-is generally supposed to be a far worsejungle than the Chicago range Girlswho can take care of themselves inParis and Berlin should not be Im ¬

perilled tn any city on this continentThe prospectus of the Chicago woman

rather seems to be the evidence of aharmless way to make money by get ¬

ting rich girls to pay for some informa-tion

¬

which they already have But asthe girls will be In no way harmed bythe precepts they are likely to get atthe school ot behavior fare it fromany Utah man to protest

Go on Tell them the things theyknow If you can get them to pay youfor it be assured yon are good Andmay nothing worse happen the girlsthan to lose their tuition In the school-of behavior

A LESSON IN DIRECT PRIMARIES-On the fifth day of the present mouth

the city of Indianap 1 e selected twocandidates for the ofnca of mayor aRepublican and a Democrat The meth-od

¬

vas the direct primary And the-

best Judges in the Hoosier capital are-

a it especially pleased wth the resultHere is what the In1inapoll Newssay of the work

Workers and often of the bat attype have been zealous and active Therehas been rather more than the usual op-portunity

¬

for trades deals and doublecrossings We are all today hoping thatthe best men offered may be chosen Butthe point is that even It they are it willbe only after a demoralizing and corrupt-Ing struggle and then the men will aver ¬

age little if any higher than of oM when-we worked under the oonventlon systemWe very much wish that some of thefriends of the new plan could have bnhere during the canvass that ha justclosed They might have learned mush

And the News Is always a strong ad ¬

vocate for progress and advanced meth-ods

¬

of government Yet that paperdoes not believe the best man waschosen by either party and that which-ever

¬

is elected the city will be In thehands of less than the fittest man

After all is there any better waythan the good old convention Of courset is open to objection Gentlemen with-

a ficulty for controlling the actions ofdelegates will continue to be chargev iih defeating the will of the peoplerat that seems to be in effect what Indinapolis has done by the shortcut ffa primary election

If the best people would go to thepolls the primary would give them anideal government

A nd by the same token if they would-go to the polls the convention and theelection would give them the same te

sultAfterall It seems the best way for

tr3 people to get the right man formayor Is for the right people to takeadvantage of the opportunities the lawhas placed at their disposal The loud-

est¬

complaints against wIcK0 t pelttMans come from men wlo considerthemselves far too clean to have any-

thing¬

to do with politics And so longas they feel that way they are nevergoing to be pleased with the monclete 3

SCENES AT CAMP CUTLER-

It Is not easy to keep militiamen upto grade In time of peace Howeverstern the bearing of officers howeverwilling the men the one thing whichgives warrant for the assembling ofstate troops at Camp Cutler is wantingTire Is no war The sentry may walkhis pot never so faithfully He maychallenge every latereturning soldIerand even bring an officer to the haltnow and then But he knows perfectlywell that his vigilance may be relatedwithout danger of the camp being sur ¬

prised bv a ravening enemyThis year Utahs soldiers have a pan

ticularly pleasant camp They are onh gh and beautiful ground They areat the tot of nvurtajns that typifysolidity art pfmarence The boys are

in good health They are ambitious tosatisfy all the demands contemplatedby the national government in the Dick

lawToachieve the very best results they

should have five more companies beforethe end of next January If there beany change in the organization whichwill make the addition more liliely thatchange should be made now

Camp Cutler is an immensely Inter-esting

¬

place even if there IIs no dangerot war It could be made even moreimpressive next year by the addition ofcompanies required under national law-

sTHE WIDOW WHO WAS MERRY

If you want to conserve tIc moralsof the people dont tell them a play Isimmcrol They will all want to see itAnd all the nation ie turning conserva-tor

¬

these daysThere was The Merry Widow a

play It held the boards at the SaltLake theatre one entire week and itmade a good deal of money The houseswere filled at every performance TheMerry Widow was a tremendoustriumph-

The story Is a beautiful thing There-is a little kingdomlike that of Graustark or Zenda The reigning prince ofIt Is a handsome and lovable young manHis coffers are empty and the king ¬

dom must have money or national ex-

tinction¬

is assured So his ministerstake him to France where they hope tohave one of his officers marry the richwidow with whose millions they knowthey can keep their governmental barkafloat The widow doesnt care for theofficers but evidences a decided par ¬

tiality for the prince She refuses manyotters to marry finally stating thatwhen she marries she must give up hermillions And although she Is very fairand very clever not one of the princesentourage seeks her for anything lessthan her gold But when tho prince Isassured of the new fact he begs her tomarry him and she consents She isconfronted by the amazed followers ofthe prince who do not want him tomarry a penniless womad and she tellsthem she must give up her fortune toher husband And all live happily ever

afterWhichIs tidy enough as a plot But the

author has seen fit to adorn the storyof the course of that true love withsome of the rankest Indecencies thathave ever been revealed on any stageThe dinner scene at Maxims Is theapex feature We dont think anyonein the audience who had witnessed suchscenes in real life woulft admit to thewoman beside him There was an aban ¬

donment of decorum by women a totalloss of reserve an ignoring of modestywhichpardon the strong word dis-

gusted¬

even the experienced people inthe audience It was just a shade toobroad too evident

Surely that sort of thing does not ap ¬

peal to refined people And yet no playhas made a bigger fortune in these lateyears than has The Merry Widow

Now why-It isnt because the public will not

pay for clean drama and good musicYou saw how the erowds fought forseats at Madame Butterfly and Pe¬

ter Pan It cannot be laid at the door-

of the composer or of the author forhere were the peopleby the thousands-And they have repeav their Indorse ¬

ment wherever the play has comeYou can prove on paper that good

men and good women will discourage abad play But there were the multi ¬

tudes You cant explain them away

REGARD FOR MRS TAFTThe people of the United States regret

that Mrs Taft is not in the best ofhealth In her ease the usual consid-eration

¬

for women is added to by thehigh esteem in which this lady is heldWives of public men are more In thelimelight than they may realize AndMrs Taft has won the hearty good willand esteem of Americas greatheartedpeopleThey hope that the New Bngland sum ¬

mer may restore her that she may re¬

turn to Washington with strength forth4 work they know she desires to doAnd they send to her whatever herstate their loving approval and theirgood will

Now would be a good time to take upthe question of starting work on thenew state house The building becomesmore and more needed as the city andcounty by their growing force morestate officers to take up rented quartersdowntown

Don Jaime of Spain is a wise man Hecouldnt have any more fun if he wereking And he might have to workTherefore he carefully checks hisfriends lest they should make a success ¬

The man who tried to keep his wifeand himself on a dollar a day is theonly one that is telling eastern peoplethat extortion was practiced In SaltLake encampment week

Neither the tempest of Monday northe biasing sun of Wednesday can dis-

courage¬

the Wizard of the Wasetch orthe little children of the living flagBoth have outplayed the elements

Probably one reason for sobriety inencampment week was the profusion ofgood drinking water The opening ofthe tire plugs about town was in thenature of an inspiration

Do you supposethe people who go tothe mountains in summer can build aroad up Big Cottonwood before theAuto club completes Its speedway to thellake Are there any bets offered

Everybody outside Utah now seemsunanimous in the judgment that SaltLake Is a city to be proud of Let not-

e discrediting voice come from ourown people

0Remember that there are many

churches in Salt Lake No man needstay at home today because he cantget the sort of gospel he wants

Moving sufficiently difficult on thefirst of May It is doubly so In the ebbnf a Grand Army enanpment

pleted in Uintah county we shall ex-

pect¬

to see more of our eastern neigh-bors

¬

John Hays Hammond is coming toUtah with President Taft And the Re ¬

publican clubs of the state will get to ¬

But when all is said and done thebest work of the past week was per-

formed¬

by the women and children

Three more weeks and school beginsagain Teachers and pupils should takeall the rest they can

The old soldiers will not counter ¬

Now let us get back to business andtake the barking dogs off the street

WHAT THE WOMAN THINKS

By ANGELA MORGAN-I am asked what I think of the unso-

ciable¬

husband who wont talk to hiswife and family when he comes home atnight and who spoils the pleasure of theevening gathering by settling into a noncommunicative calm too heavy to bebroken by the kindest persuasion or themost eager questionlrg

Such a husband I am toldno materwhat the anxiety ofhear the event of the outer world dis ¬

cuR almot Ignores wife and family

they feel in the important eventsof the because of stub ¬wordwhcbherefuse gtf and does notgive any reason for refusalgive any reason for such refusal-

He simply wont talk and that Is theend of the materOn the I the man couldtake the womans view he would realizeJust this That his wife has probably hadno chance to come in touch with matersoutside of the domestic or socialthat she craves a breath of the largerrealm and that her intellect feels keenlythewith ne of expansion through contact

He would understand that the placidatmosphere of domesticity in which shehas lived and breathed all lay needs to-

te fresh netl and invigorated l v 1 current-of new stimulating helpful thought thather mental life wl stagnate unless suchreviving forces enter it

He woull recollect that one of thestrongest reasons for their marriagewaithe need both of them felt for companion-ship

¬

not only the companionship of theaffections but of the mind and soul Hewould realize that a successful marriais impossible withoutthought contact of ideas the giving antitaking of mental and spiritual nourish-ment

¬

He would rouse himself to satisfythe higher longings of the woman twhom he has joine his Interests for lieAfter all pity so manybands forget and neglect all this Howunfortunate that thousands of womenmust resign themselves to the deadlevelexistence which is sure to follow a hus-bands

I can not help believing that the rea ¬son marriage often degenerates Into hum ¬

America in the PhilippinesXIVTHE FIRST FILIPINO ASSEMBLY-

By Frederic J Haskin

Manila The first session of the firstPhilippines national assembly was opened-by Mr Taf on Oc 16 1 The sec-ond

¬

of body adjourned onMay 3 Iftie The establishment of the as ¬

sembly was the most interesting and theboldest political experiment mde by theUnited States in the effort to educatethe Filipinos in the task of selfgovern-ment

¬

There athose who say now thatthe experiment baproved a failure thatthe assembly hs not Justified its exist ¬

ence and that should be abolished atonce But an examination of the rerof the assembly and of thecomplaints made against it by adversecritics does not warrant such wholesalecondemnation-

The promise of the assembly was madeby congress in rpol to political presure at bom was a party necessity-and it it work of aiding the partyto stay in power at Washington Whenthe time came to put the act of congressinto force wise men shook their headsin doubt but there could be no turningback Th census was taken the prov-inces

¬

divided into districts th electionheld and eighty Filipinos retureto compose the first assemblysembly corresponds t th lower house-of a state legislature whil the functonof the upper house ae dishargedthe Philippines commission which allthe executive branch of the government-

The assembly has the full powers o-

fcoordinata branch of the legislatureno action may be taken witout its consent The law provides

ever that if the assembly shall fail topass the appropriation bills the appropri-ations

¬

of the previous year shall remainIn force with the effect of law Thisprovision will prevent the possibility ofsuch a deadlock as cams about In PortoRico

The assembly at the close of both Itssessions solemnly adopted resolutions de-

manding¬

th immediate independence ofthe Phippin Islands Th last session

passage bill abolish ¬

ing the committee as a legislative bodyand substituting for it a senate of Fili-pino

¬

selection Naturally such resolutionsfound their graves in the pigeon holes ofthe commIssIoners desks But on ac ¬

count of the character of these enactmentsthey were given wide publicity andbrought general condemnation upon theassembly from American critics In theislands

One hears In Manila on every handthat the assembly wasted time that many

were introduced but few thatpMbUsthe time was wasted in thatuseless debates were prolonged until thenecessary bills were passed at the close-of the session with undue haste and with ¬

out proper consideration that thmem-bers

¬

played party polities a lokemore to party advantage than

far of the country and s onone adverse critic offered any arg

meat to support his attack onsembly that Is not offered at the closeof every state legislature or at the closeof every session of congress by oppon-ents

¬

of the party in power It wathat the assembly h permit ¬char W6 Mils and1 b intruthat only thirty othhd Thismade the public attack

uponw the Filipinos by an American whothat it proved the Filipinos un¬art1 eve partial selfgovernment A

Filipino retorted with the rec-

ord¬newsarof lat congress In

which about bins were Introducedand 400 laws passed and asked If theAmericans were fit for selfgovernment-

As fa as the Immediate Indepnencresolutions are concerned arbuncombe The members of the legisla-ture

¬

know the resolutions didnt amount-to anything but they felt the need ofdoing something to maintain their po-

litical¬

strength in their districts Tresolution Inviting the commission to cmmit suicide and providing for a Filipinosenate was passed with about as muchhope for its success as the house of rep-resentatives

¬

at Washington has when Itpasses the usual resolution providing forthe submission of a constitutional amenment authorizing the election ofby the people directly-

The faults of the Filipino assembly-were many no doubt but they afaultwhich differ neither In qualitytity from the faults of other legislativebodies all over the world The critics ofthe assembly appear to expect the

a semlcivlUMd people with npinS whatever In selfgovernment anwith no background of prlamentrusage to produce awould have none of the faults so com-

mon¬

irprtant m asurns arid the propriation-Is> were post TM uaUl the very last

minute There was aeffort to force the

governor to call an extra session Weit was found that the governor wafrin his declination to prolongthe legislature the bills were passedThere was a disagreement between the as ¬

sembly and the cmmL concerningthe bankrupt son1 thing long de ¬

manded by the business Interests of theislands A joint committee met to dis ¬

cuss i The Filipinos from the assemblydelare that they were not opposed to

but that they would insist uponsome amendments The commission corn ¬

mIte was soon convinced that thewoul Improve the act and

acceptedwas te the next day the bill

According to Acting Governor Fobthe assembly at al times showed asition to aid government In everpossible way in the administration afain Yet throughout all the session

upon reiterating the shibboleth-of independence As a matter of factthe immediate independence talk is nottaken seriously by the assemblymen whoengage in It A resolution demanding im¬

mediate relea from the rule of theUnited probably will be aannualfeature of the assembly proceedings Iis the safety valve through whicnextra steam will escape The passage ofthe resolution will be deemed each year-a blow for freedom and therefore Iwill be unnecessary to strike other blowsThe assembly IRel is intensely inter ¬

esting It is of eighty membersrepresenting those parts of the islands in ¬

habited by civilized Christian people TheMohammedan Mores and the wild nonChristian tribes are not within the prov ¬

lucof the assembly in any fashion Theassembly is divided into two importantpolitical groups Nacionalistas and Progreelstas There are only II Progresiataamembers of the conservative party whichIB favorable to the continued Americanoccupation and hop for independence-only as an and faraway goalThe Nacionalistas having so large a ma-jority

¬

are divided into smaller groupsand some members acting with the partyprefer to style tbemelve Independents
