J' 1 EDITORIAL PAGE OF THE JOURNAL 70VXVAL rUBLlBHIXO 00. c. . jaoxiov. jvo. r. cakkoix AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER THAT SALT LAKE CRITICISM. JUDGE POWERS of Salt Lake has a silver tongue be tween his teeth. It is sometimes tipped with tobasco. Hut he is something more than a mere forensic debater Ud champion of the hustings. He not only tells how the thing is to be done, but he can do rf himself. Personally he is a thoroughbred, full of magnetism, with a soft and in sinuating handclasp and a gift of blarney that the most enterprising might envy. At the same time, politically speaking, if there is a man on the backbone of the Rockies who can turn a sharper corner, who can bedevil in issue, upet a political fence or play upon a public prejudice with greater facilitv than he, we do not now recall either his name or his postoffice address. A far-sighted and fasci nating old codger is Orlando W. Powers. It is not always given to the average mortal to see exactjy what he is driv ing at. Sometimes it seems to be immediately apparent -when it is later discovered that as a matter M fact he was looking very far ahead with a very vital but not obvious purpose all the while in view. And so in the derogatory remarks concerning the Oregon delegation, which he uttered and to which The Journal gave full publicity, his remarks must not be construed too liter ally or with both eyes glued too strenuously to the local end of the line. The judge's home is in Salt Lake, not here, and what he said was doubtless intended more for local con sumption in Salt Lake than it was for local consumption in Portland, although he is in no wise adverse to turning a catchy phrase in either place. Judge Powers is not yet a back number, not by a long shot. He can come' nearer to catching things coming and going than most men, and if he has the Gentile population of his adopted state at his back and by one clever stroke brings the Mormon into line, who so apt to make it as he, and who so likely to do it with pic toresque force and deftness? And yet, when all is said and done, one would be surprised if the Salt Lake delegation had received the remarks of Mr. Pence except with heat and indignation. They were in bad taste and utterly unjustifiable. The Salt Lake delegation to the convention was a remarkably fine body of men. It was one of the strongest numerically of all the delegations. It came here at the very beginning and stayed to the end. If it made an effort to secure the permanent headquarters of the congress, it did it openly and above board. It made a substantial and attractive offer one that could not fail to have appealed to the business judgment of all the dele gates. That offer should have been met on the same basis. That it was not was due entirely to the bad taste of Mr. Pence, whose speech no one can defend. But we hope that whatever soreness exists will speedily pass away. So far as Portland has been dragged into it, it is totally unwarranted. Threats of retaliation on the fair, we feel, are but an ebullition of passing temper, for that is .too great an enterprise and means too much to the whole west, including Utah, to be taken seriously. When the smoke has cleared away and time has been given, for reflec tion, we feel sure that everybody will again see things in their true proportion, in which case the outcome of it all will be perfectly satisfactory to everybody. i A NEW DEPARTMENT. ENLARGING ITS WORK of publishing news, The Journal is inaugurating a mining department, which has the purpose of giving mining news. Oregon's best mine operators have complained that the daily press does not exercise the same judgment in printing mining news that is found in choosing news from commercial, bank ing, sporting, agricultural or lumbering industries. Propor tionate space is given mining, but the accuracy of reports, diligence in following development and equipment, produc tion and exploration, is not up to the average news standard. Accepting this criticism, it will be the object of The Journal to attain the same efficiency in mining news wit nessed in all other work. This end is possible only through co-operation of the best mining interests. If mine operators appreciate accurate news, there is no reason why they should not open to newsgatherers the same generous funds of information made available in other industries. If this is done, The Journal will be as accurate in its mining news service as in any other department of its work. After fulfilling its duty as a news purveyor, The Journal will ever be ready to give a helping hand to mineral develop ment. Latent resources will be made known wherever their presence is satisfactorily attested. When the paper may be a guide to the prospector, ushering him into mineral areas inviting development, it will be found on pioneer duty. Its purpose is to publish the real, genuine news, not the boomy, frothy, unreliable stuff that too frequently passes for such. THE MINING CONGRESS PATENT WEAKNESS. i I w UT IT WAS without form and' void." , In the beginning there must be chaos, but the precedent set by our Creator early in mundane affairs has established the' rule that organization, form, sys tem, must precede progress. No exception exists in favor of a mining congress. At the close of its seventh annual session the American Mining Congress leaves the impression that it is an em phatically vague body. Motives giving it birth are appre ciated by the entire mining world, but the manner of at taining them are not commended by all interested in this industry. Until one attends the sessions and listens to the proceedings, the complaint of conservative technical mining men is not appreciated. Then does it become ap parent that the functions of a technical and popular or ganization have been blended unsatisfactorily ; that in seek: ing to enlist the masses of mining men there is manifest failure ; that in commanding the attention of legislative or executive branches of the government, or in bequeathing to constituents any definite line of action, little is achieved. The criticism is voiced by a multitude, not with an an tagonistic purpose, but in the hope that faults exposed will be corrected. That the magnificent industry of mining, as outlined in production of coal, iron, petroleum, gold, silver, copper, lead and less prominent fruits of delving, and in the varied reduction and refining processes employed, is entitled to equal consideration with commerce or other executive departments, becomes conviction whenever stud ied carefully. The American Institute of Mining Engineers, not being a political organization in any respect, cannot labor for such recognition. No other organization within the mineral world exists, save the mining congress. Its need is patent, its duties herculean, its results are mediocre. That a national mining congress, clamoring for recogni tion of its cause in the president's cabinet, should have a membership of barely more than three hundred (few of them attending sessions), and an accredited representation by delegates chosen without particular regard to the min ing industry of less than 700 (a third of those attending), is the first evidence of failure on the part of the existing organization to interest the mineral world. Adoption of resolutions in a hasty manner, and without mature consid eration of leaders in the industry, explains again why the thought of the congress receives little attention. Endeav oring to operate on a popular basis, the success of which would make a fataHy unwieldly legislative body, spanning the continent with the attenuated thread of membership, dependent upon the uncertain and limited revenues raised at present, and delivering its work into the hands of no organ ized subordinate bodies for propagation among the people, the congress seems able to achieve little. In its ranks are a dozen stalwart, faithful workers. What has been done is to their credit, from whose minds came the first thought of mining's urgent need. That they will ultimately upbuild their institution is assured by the serene manner of work amidst sd many difficulties. To them it is suggested that the congress should be a representative body, composed of delegates from organized subordinate associa tions. District and state associations should be the na tional body's constituents. Membership in the national as sociation should be through intermediates. Thus influence would be spread immeasurably, and the clumsy, waddling organization now the solicitous care of a few would become a victorious Champion for mining's full recognition every where. Such a body is the Brifish Columbia Mining asso ciation, and such are other organizations benefiting mining through popular channels. Such must become the Ameri can Mining Congress if it is to achieve its purported aims and manifest purposes. THE SAINT AND THE HEATHEN. ONE OF THE MOST interesting things published this year, especially to people who have read Emile Zola's works, and particularly his "Lourdes," is the leading article in the September Century, entitled "The Rus sian Lourdes." The large lesson of it is that this is an intensely prac tical world. , The prophet of the Slav empire at the beginning of the twentieth century was St. Seraphim of Sarov. Before re sponding to the tocsin of war sounded by Japan, tens of thousands of reserve soldiers rushed to the shrine of Sarov, and along lhose Russian plains there have been, since the melting snows permitted last spring, streams of devotees and pilgrims traveling hurriedly and toilsomeljr to bend their knees at the shrine of St Seraphim of Sarov. Meanwhile the heathen Japanese are battering down the forts around Port Arthur. Richly jeweled images of St. Seraphim, framed in gold and solid silver, gifts of St. Pe tersburg and Moscow to General Kuropatkin and Admiral Skrydloff, are among the Russian army and navy in plenty, and yet they cannot beat the heathen. St. Seraphim was canonized on August 1, 1903 ; the young czarevitch was born two weeks ago ; and yet the heathen Japanese are battering, if they haven't actually battered, at the walls of Port Arthur, and have sunk all but a few Rus sian ships. At this canonization of St. Seraphim there was one of the greatest campmeetings ever held. We have seen many campmeetings in this country Methodist, Baptist, Chris tian and of other denominations. But there, at this func tion, was a campmeeting of more than 100,000 people. There was ten myriads o? peasants, artisans, smaU trades men subjects, men who do not think. The imperial fam ily was there. The army was represented there brilliant, resplendent, in gold and shining raiment. The navy was also there, glittering equally. But where is Russia's navy now? And what is Kuropatkin going to do in Manchuria? The emperor and the court visited the haunts of the her mit, St. Seraphim, and drank and iSVed themselves with water from the miraculous spring beside which his hut was built. His uncorrupted remains were placed in a costly golden casket beneath a massive silver canopy of monu mental proportions, both the gifts of his majesty, the czar of all the Russias, who so far has failed in a single instance to beat the heathen Japanese on land or sea. The lesson is new, and old. It has been repeated a thou sand times. Prayer and worship and devotion are well, and count, no doubt; but intelligence and practical effort and powder and money are what win battles, either in war or in peace. St. Seraphim is a worshipful figure ; the campmeeting at Sarov was an entertaining and important function ; but the heathen Japanese are beating down the forts around Port Arthur, while St. Seraphim still reigns in Sarov, and seemingly only there. A PLAINLY DEMONSTRATED FACT. Sunday, August 28, 1904. prudence is exercised, that the treasury will be exhausted, or that the bad-debt collector will be knocking at the city's doors. , An interesting feature of the situation is the discovery that the loss of revenue from the monthly fines collected from the,gambling-hjuses has very little to do with the city's financial embarrassment. When Sheriff Word an nounced his determination to drive the gamblers out of business, a wail arose. from Mayor Williams and his apol ogists. They declared that without the revenue derived from gambling the city would be bankrupt before the end of the year. A harrowing picture of the consequences was drawn. Employes must be dismissed in all departments of the city government, salaries must be reduced, and the public service must be crippled. The morning and evening organs of the gambling trust painted in vivid colors ihe loss and inconvenience that must result. In the light of the information now at hand these predic tions need cause no further alarm. Figures obtained from the city auditor show that the loss of revenue from gam bling fines during the six months ending December 31 will not exceed seven or eight thousand dollars, or considerably less than one-half of the expected shortage, even as that is reduced by the auditor's latest estimate. This should dem onstrate conclusively that the city's partnership with the gamblers was as needless as it was illicit and immoral. The partnership has been dissolved through the intervention of Sheriff Word, and the city is still able to do business and to meet its obligations. It is true that economies must be enforced, but the very fact that this can be done without lessening the efficiency of the pjublic service is strongly suggestive of needless ex penditures in the past. If thrift and prudence had been displayed during the earlier months of the year, there would be no need of tightening the purse-strings now. Complaint is made by the city engineer that his force cannot be re duced without defeating needed street i improvements, but his protests would carry more weight were it not for the strong suspicion of extravagance which has attached to the administration of his office. If his subordinates paid more attention, to the business for which they are employed, and less to machine politics and affairs unconnected with the department, it would be easier to regard their services as indispensable. This temporary stringency in the city's finances will be beneficial rather than injurious if it brings about a more businesslike administration of municipal affairs and if it results in removing from the city payroll some of the dead heads who now encumber it. THERE SHOULD BE AN EARLY DECISION. ELSEWHERE in this issue some facts are published relative to the anticipated shortage in the city's funds. While it is evident that substantial econo mies must be put into effect at once if expenses during the remaining four months of the year are to be kept within receipts, it is also apparent that the situation is by no means an alarming one. Even on the basis of present ex penditures, which will admit of very material reduction, the shortage would not exceed $18,000. Some contemplated improvements must be postponed until next year, but the delay will not be serious. There is no danger, if reasonable IT IS HIGHLY IMPORTANT that the suit brought to test the validity of the local-option ' law should be pressed to an early decision, so that in case the decision of the lower court is adverse to the law there may still be time for an appeal to the supreme court before the Novem ber election. There may be some question whether the duty of defending the suit devolves upon the attorney-general or upon the district attorney, but obviously one or the other is chargeable with it. The measure became law through the vote of the people, and one or the other of these officials should see to it that the will of the people is not set aside without just cause. In a suit of so much impor tance to the whole state the decision of the trial eourt is not likely to be accepted as conclusive, whatever it may be, and an appeal to the supreme court will be necessary to set tle definitely the question at issue. The complainant seeks an injunction restraining County Clerk Fields from calling a special election in November to determine whether this county shall adopt prohibition, the ground of the petition being the alleged invalidity and unconstitutionality of the law. If the issue is joined at once and the proceedings are hastened in the trial court, there will be time before No vember to secure a decision in the supreme court, which would doubtless consent to give the case immediate consideration. THE EPOCH OF PERFECTION By ISRAEL ZANGWILL THE long working period wu over, and iter many thousand years the epoch of perfection was dawning. On May 1 at 4:14 a. m.. one min ute before sunrise, the last germ of evil died in the heart of the last Imperfect roan. It was the day which Tolstoi had de scribed In his "Resurrection." though It was really a festival of nature. But now It shone forth In a new glory of holiness. As the sun rose over the spotless earth the last policeman made his last round, and In that very minute 20.OUO.000 human beings woke up snd without turning over In bed for an other nap plunged Into their cold bath. That the other part of the population of the earth was still sleeping In their beds was because even on the perfect planet the sun could not rise at the same time everywhere, but every human being living along the same meridian arose from his bed as punc tually as If he were a marionette, and those living along every following meridian did exactly the same when the proper time came. The noise of these millions of human be ings plunging Into their bath was the wel come greeting of the earth to the dawn of perfection. At I o'clock all the world sat at the break-, fast table enjoying homemade bread, fruit and milk. There were no newspapers. As crime, intemperance and politics grad ually disappeared the volume of news dwin dled down to nothing, but it was not so much the absence of news as the lack of advertisements which had killed the papers, and there was no longer any necessity of advertising, as distribution had become per fect and all inferior goods had disappeared from the market. The best soap, the best poem, the best bicycle ruled without rivals, for manufac tures of all other brands' stopped manufac turing as soon as they found that their com petitors were able to produce a superior grade. . Even the charitable- societies had disap peared, and no appeals for help wore made to the public, as there were no more poor people In the world. A Journal of ethics and a list of ther names of those who had died had taken the place of the newspapers. In form and appearance It was not unlike Addison's "Spectator," but Its editors did not reveal their Identity. The only news was the occasional acci dents, devastation by those powers of avll, fire, water and earthquakes, which even man In his state of absolute perfection could not prevent. These- evil elements were the only reason why ministers and churches still existed, and If It had not been necessary to pray for rain ones in a while we should have been rid of the ministers, too. The lack of doubt and uncertainty had caused some stagnation of love affairs. The thorns of sorrow had been removed from the rose of romance. Frank, sincere declarations of love had taken the place of nirtatlon and courting, and the course of true love ran ever smooth. As all Imperfections, all struggle for ex istence, all Jealousy and hatred wers things of the past, literature had almost disap peared, and the only subjects left for the dramatists were sickness and death, and, with nobody having anything to repent, even the death scenes had lost In dramatic force, and the parting from even this perfect earth was far from as hard as one might have Imagined. Little by little people ceased visiting the theatres until a bright manager had the Idea to produce a play which he had found in an old chest, which, with Its description of feel ings long ago dead, once more called to life , the waning Interest. Then old houses were searched from roof to cellar for plays which might have es caped the Puritan bonfire, and every new play found added to the Interest In dramas. Atavistic Instincts In these perfect people were still strong enough to make them revel In passions which their forefathers had felt. And thus on the stage men loved and hated, fought and built Intrigues, and the resurrection of the drama brought about the rescurrectlon of the church, and the preach ers woke up and began to thunder against these representations of sin on the stage which they pronounced almost as bad aa If they had been real. The attacks of the ministers brought out a number of pamphlets defending the stage, and thus new impulses were given to litera ture. ' But, as always, the truth was undoubtedly on the side of the church, because the step from acting to reality is indeed a very short and easy one, and the resurrection of art car ried with It the germs of resurrected life. Brave spirits began to say that the soul does not 'find Its nourishment In the calm ness of the elements, but In their uproar; that continued struggle for existence In a universe full of pain and suffering and pas sion was better than the attainment of per fection; that even the heavenly music of the spheres became flat and shallow, and the lack of contrast was unbearable. If humanity did not turn back on Its path one of the new prophets said the extremes would touch, and we would have to begin evolution over again as plants. And thus a sect of heretics arose who gave the devil his due and sent a deputation to Satan to bring him back from his exile In the utmost darkness. SCHOOL HAS TOO MANY MEDALS TO COUNT By OLOF Z. CERVIN NAAS FLODA. Sweden When an Institution hat received so many gold medals and diplomas that it has ceased to keep track of them it certainly must be unlqus. If among these there be r nolo, medal from Paris awarded without anything on exhi bition, one can hardly mention any Letter proof of public appreciation. In the Important field of education Sweden has taken high rsnk. Modern botany and modern chemistry can almost be said to owe their origin to this coun try. Then came gymnastics the Ling system. A few years ago sloyd was born ss a school subject, and a new word was slipped Into the dictionaries of all progressive nstlons. That was here at Naas. the start made In 1872. And now In these latter days this same plsce has stsrted a new sub j.zt that bids fslr to take Its plsce In the front rank with a rapidity eclipsing even that of sloyd. This Is the games, the scientific use of gsmes In the schools and In the bringing up of children, and especially the song and dance game. Thin la what brought me to Nun. But first a few words about the school. It owes its foundation to Herr A. Abrahamson, a merchant of Oothenburg, who devoted to It the last years of his life and his fortune. His nephew. Di rector O. Holomon, has been from the be ginning the engineer in charge, the gen ral In chief, the man wnose fertile brain never wearies to find new means of instruction and to prevent the science of education from slipping Into a routine. The school is now a state institution, be queathed In its entirety by the founder. The location it one of the most charm ing Imaginable, in the midst of an estate of 3,000 acres with a large castls and a great number of buildings, fields snd forests, all of which are a part of the Institution. Nor thould one forget the chain of charming lakes snd the long, low stone bridge across It, the hills and rocks on all tides and the fresh sum mer sir. Being a normal school, only teachers sre sdmltted. Those from Sweden pay for board only. Foreigners pay a small tuition. The courses are arranged prin cipally for the tummer months. There Is one course of six weeks and a shorter one of four, for sloyd snd game courses. There are other courses for training teachers In school cooking. In gardening snd In needle work, with periods of vary ing length. Hare Is a surprising number of for eigners, especially English and Ameri cans. Sometimes ss much as SO to 40 per cent are foreigners. Esch comes and Is agreeably surprised to find so many compatriots. But even if he found none he would not long remain a stranger. It is the foreigners' constant surprise to find that nearly all the native students tpeak English, German and French with great freedom. An esprit de corps Is very soon establlthed. The personality of the director himself Is one of the main factors in making every one feel com fortable and at home Immediately. There sre no sad faces here, The day begins at 7:30 wltn a light breakfast. From 8 to :15 lectures for all students who understand Swedish, by the director. It Is always given In the open air under the trees when the wea ther permits. A short prayer by one of ths students and a song prseedes the lecture. It happens often during the lecture that ths director suggests a song. It makes a pleasant Interruption and then the worx goes on. mucn mora smoothly. They never sing With accom paniment. And they all sing. At lesst. It seems so. After the lecture the students march to their espectlvs places, singing as they go. At 12 o'clock lunch is served, snd from 1 o'clock to 5 o'clock It is work. Then dinner with a recess, when the students gather on the hillsides In cliques, little coffee cliques. At 7 snothsr lec ture, and prayer and tea at 8:M. After tea all students play on the campus, first various ball games. Including base ball and basket balL At 10 o'clock it is rather dark to see the ball and the song snd dsnce games begins. A little before 11 all maroh to the long stone bridge and sing the one song after the other In the evening, that dreamy twilight evening which nothing can describe. All lights are out at 11:10. How a public school teacher could spend a summer vscatlon morV profitably and more pleas antly It is difficult to Imagine. Saturday afternoons and Sundays are holidays, devoted to boating, tramps In the hills and forests and such otSsr en joyments as youth, and age, too, always know how to discover. A peculiarity of the institution is that there Is only one permanent teacher the director himself. He believes in keeping out of ruts. The assistant teachers of one year are selected from the students of previous years, it gives this school a marked character of freshness and vir ility, a vim and go, such aa It la a pleas ure to behold. The balance wheel Is the director himself, whose sleepless sye seems to be ever tsklng In what Is going on, awake after the ethers havs retired and asUr long before they begin to arouss themselves In the morning. Another peculiarity is the method em ployed In some of the lectures. One might think ths students were the lec turers, as they do most of ths talking. But It Is done by suggestions from the director. With a simple question he starts a discussion, and by careful pilot ing among all the subjects that ara brought up hs succeeds in stimulating the thoughts of the students and havt them express Just what they would do, but do It with their own words and from their own standpoint. If this point of view is the reverse of the lecturer's, that may be quits immaterial. The main thing. Is to obtain a point of view and to make use of 4t. Each lecture begins with a written report of the previous lecture. That, too, is by some student. No one knows whsn he Is to report. It is de termines by lottery at the close of the lecture. It was my pleasure to sttend the clos ing exercises and some of these lectures. One was on the subject of the benefit of games in the education of children. The students answered, using their own ex periences aa a basis and proving each assertion with one actual example from some particular game or games, It was thus demonstrated that games bring out the qualities of obedience, a sense of fairness, persistence, self-control, brav ery, patience, alertness, helpfulness, comradeship, make the children prac tical, light hearted and healthy. Nu merous other qualities were mentioned. One method of employing the stu dents In teaching is to detail those who take the course In games to aot aa leaders for the others when sll students gather to play on ths campus In the evening from 8:30 to 11 o'clock. All should thus take part, but It is un necessary to make It compulsory they are quite willing to play, though some of these students ars school teachers whose hair has begun to turn gray. One evening a special performance was given when the "course In games" exhibited the old-time folk dance and songs, of which I wrote In a previous letter. This Included also an slf dsnce on the lawn In the moonlight with the trees and the shrubs -as a background, and a procession of singing nuns slow ly gliding to a awtnglng motion in and out along the path among the treea In the mysterious shsde of the evening. Nor must I forget what happened when I was In the sloyd room. Every one was busy sawing, planing, cutting, hammering. It was Itke a beehive. Then the leader started a song. Every one Joined in and I could hardly hear the factory sounds, though esch one kept pegging away. It seemed as I left ths room they were still singing as though they had Imparted to me a big piece of Hght-heartedness. I hope It will not melt too soon. VAST Between tks Two presenting ths From the New Tork Times. The Republican party has never been more faithful to Its historic principles of centralised government snd loose const ruction than since Theodore Rooae velt became president. Mr. Roosevelt is the government In a larger and truer Hill than has been the esse within the memory even of ex-Benator Henry O. Davis. Cannot anybody see tbst the course of the Republican party and of the national government would have been very different if President Mc Klnley had lived, or if any other than Mr. Roosevelt had been in that office? As for the constitution. It is true beyond the possibility of successful contradic tion that President Roosevelt dlsre gsrded It, overrode It when he made war on the republic of polombls without the authority of congress. It would be Im possible to construe that venerable In strument more loosely. It is to the law. to the people, to en lightened public sentiment, that Judge Parker would look for the forces that shape and guide our national oareer. Mr. Roosevelt looks to himself and to one or two advisers, with casusl and deferred reference to the nation's legls lators, snd. notsbly In this campaign year, to the sentiment of his psrty. There is a vast difference between the two theorise, between the two men. Between these theories snd thsee msn the American people are to make their choice, it doss not maks so much dif ference to Judge Psrksr whether he and his theories be chosen, but In our Judg ment It does make a difference to the American people. It Is they Who are really on trial. If the American nation had the mind of a butcher boy on an annus! picnic dsy, ws should expect from It no very hearty approval of Judge Psrker's speech. But can It he possible that sober-minded Americans, that those among us who have viewed with misgiving the superabundant ac tivities and overflowing spirits of the present administration, will pass this utterance by without oomlng at its grave meaning? Is there or Is there not. In these United States of America, an "enlightened public sentiment?" Wss BeoeeveM Wears XJvs make. From the Washington Post. Miss Alice Roosevelt now wears at times, as an ornament, live snake. The reptile is about two fset long, as large around aa a lead pencil, and Is known as a grass snake. The young women's idea Is. presumably, that society will take up the snake as a fsd, but there does not seem to be a wild desire to follow the example of the president's dsughter. who also wears a chameleon attached to the front of her waist by a fine chain. Miss Roosevelt discovered the snake hsnglng from a gas- fixture in a bird store, was delighted with It and bought It The next time shs wwnt automobile riding ahe wore it colled about her neck, where It remained quite contentedly. Its skin shines with a Jewel-like bril liance, and It waa thought to be a green chain. In aome Instances Mss Roose velt revealed its true character, giving sundry friends a little soars. For people to live happily together the reel secret Is that they shall not live too sauch together. English proverb.
