MAKE THIS A DAY.
Make this a day. There U no
train
In brooding over days to
come;
The message of today is plain.
The future's lips are ever
dumb.
The work of yesterday is gone
For good or ill, let come what
may;
But now we face another dawn.
Make this a day.
Though yesterday we failed to
see
The urging hand and earnest
face
That men call Opportunity,
We failed to know tne time or
place
For some great deed, what need
to fret?
The dawn comes up a silvery
gray.
The golden moments must be
met.
Make this a day.
This day is yours; your work
is yours;
The odds are not whj rs.r?
your hire.
The thing accompUshe-i
endures.
If it be what the days rea-To-He
who takes up "h-S daily
round.
As one new armored fjr tie
fray.
Tomorrow steps on solid ground.
Make this a day.
The Talisman.
the unoqualed loveliness beneath
them."
Then the description Increases in
loveliness as it portrays Arhrodite
rising to her full height from the
shell, "the mystic cestus glittering
round her waist In deep festoons of
emeralds and pearls, and stepped for
ward upon the marble sea-floor,
wringing the dropping perfume from
her locks as Aphrodite rose of old."
Then her dance Is described ns "a
miracle of art such as was only pos
sible among a people of the free and
exquisite physical tra'nlnir and the
delicate aesthetic perception of those
old Greeks even In their most fallen
days."
That same spirit was invoked when
those Russian girls were trained
says the Salt Lake paper, for the same
effect was sought for that ruled in
Greece, the effect that perfect phys!
cal beauty linked with exquisite art
always has and always will cast a
spell around savage and civilized man
alike. There were people In the the'
atcr watching those dancers and US'
tening to th wonderful music who
never once thought the scene sug
scstive. so perfect was the beauty and
the ar. There were others who
ought not to have been there, neith
er they nor their descendants for the
r.ext sfven hundred years.
INTRODUCING MYSELF.
tUARDlG THE CANAL.
Fy the time the Panama canal Is
completed it will have cost the TJnit
.ed States the sum of $400 000,000.
Surely such a piece of work is worth
guarding. Especially so since one of
the best arguments for the canal was
that it would be of great value to this
country from a naval standpoint
When the canal is finished the presi
dent may order a fleet from one ocean
to the- other and it won't be neces
sary for the ships to go around Cape
Corn. This will be of enormous bene
fit in time of war.
Tet there are many wno object to
fortifying the canal. They point to
the enormous cost of the fortifica
tiorj and hold the big ditch should
i-e made safe through an internation
al treaty. By the same sort of logic
its men cou'.d argue that banks
f's -z". i is away with expensive vaults
i re'y for the protection of their
c t ir. cp -rn the laws ariinst thievery.
A CITY OF LIGHT.
I'm not the fellow you read about
But only the man you know.
The chnp you meet on the busy street
Where the hurrying thousands go;
I cannot class with the ::starvlng
poor"
Nor yet with the "men of means,"
I'm Just the sort that you are your
- self
The salaried "in betweens."
I've never handled a spade or pick,
I'm hardly "a son of toll,"
I cannot plow for I don't know how
To "wrest my bread from the soil,"
I'm only nn ordinary dub
With commonplace things to do,
And so oh common-place friend of
mine
I'm singing' my songs to You. ..
If you've never made your summer
suit
Suffioe for the winter's chill,
If you've never gono with a soiled
shirt on .
save the laundry bill,
It you've never eaten a buffet lunch
To save u nickel or two.
If you've never worried about the
rent
These ballads are not for you.
Put you wl worry and puzzle out
Kach item of daily life.
Who work and fret in the fear of
debt
Along with your faithful wife.
Maybe you'll find In these songs of
mine
A strain that you know is true,
And thought I'm harldly the soul of
song
I'm singing them all to Tou.
Berton Braley, In December Pacific
Monthly.
THE COMMISSION PLAN.
ARE COAL MINERS CHEAP
Christmas will be a sad holiday this
year for the famil.es of the miners j
that have been killed In the numer
ous bad mine "accidents" in differ
ent portions of the country. So fre
quently are these explosions occurring
that the question arises as to their
cause. Are they really accidental and
an unavoidable feature of coal min
ing or are the disasters due to a cold
blooded policy on the part of the
mineowners? Could the accidents be
avoided if the owners would content
themselves with smaller dividends and
spend more money safeguarding the
lives of their employes. It Is evi
dent that sufficient attention is not
given to the safety of the men. Fol
lowing the Leyden disaster the state
labor commissioner of Colorado pre
dicted others disasters unless radi
cal steps are taken to safeguard lives.
He declares the mines are in a bad
condition.
Perhaps in the opinions of the Mor
ganheims who own the coal resources
of America, and are conserving most
of the coal for future profits, coal
miners are cheap and the supply in
exhaustible, while it would not do at
all to reduce the dividends.
THE RCSSLVN DANCERS.
Pavlowa and Mordkln, the great
Russian dancers, have been In Salt
Lake and their appearance brought
forth some criticism. There ' were
people who saw their dancing and be
lieved the first part suggestive.
In defense of the famous dancers,
a Salt Lake paper repeat part of
Xlngsley's discretion of Plelagia's
dance before Oreatea and the thou
sands in the great amphitheater.
He tella how the snow white ele
phant marched around the stage.
"Then a choir of nymphs swung round
bJm hand In hand and sang aa they
danced along the conquering might of
beauty, the tamer of beasts and men
and deities."
Then the rising of Plelagla from the
shell on the back of the elephant la
thus described: "Tee; whiter than
tae snow white elephaat more rosy
than the pink-tipped ah ell In whtcn
fee lay, among crimson cushions and
liver causes, there shown the
goddess, thrilling all hearts with those
(Ultclous miles and glance of the
ha all fa 1. playful eres and grateful
waving ef the tin bands aa the whole

strata! aa
The strings of lights on Main and
Court streets aid to the brilliance of
th. fe thoroughfares and the Pacific
Light & Power company is Int. tied to
credit for furnishing thJs illumination
without cost during Christmas week.
It would be fine if the business sec
tion could b well lighted all the
time. On Main street the merchants
are now installing cluster lights so
rapidly that it will not be long until
that street will have a truly metro
politan appearance. Also this paper
is informed that Court street people
are going to "get into the game" by
providing additional strings of in
candescant lights for their street and
by having them turned on every eve
ning. Go to It, gentlemen. Make Pendle
ton the City of Light.
By sending a man to America to
see America in 36 hours the London
Mail has shown a spirit of enterprise
that was unexpected. It looks like
they have "put one over" the New
York Journals and It will be up to the
Gotham newspaper men to get busy
and redeem their lost laurels.
Senator Lodge seems to favor every
thing that Senator Cummins does
only he does not want cummins to be
the leader of the senate.
If that Little Walla Walla irriga
tion suit is actually and finally settled
someone is liable to drop dead from
astonishment.
After so much consultation and dis
cussion surely the roads will be -good
In the summer time at least.
ON FALLING IN LOVE.
There's something the matter with me
And I guess it's a girl.
I met her last evening, and Gee!
But my head's In a whirl.
My heart acts peculiar aa well,
For It thumps as It goes,
And as near as I'm able to tell
It Is love, I suppose.
It wasn't so much what she said
Just the usual line,
But somehow It went to my head
Like a bottle of wine.
Perhaps I said something to her
But the Lord only knows.
What happened Is simply a blurr
And It's love, I suppose.
I'm ten different kinds of a fool,
But my foolishness grows,
I try hut I cannot keep cool
It la love, I suppose.
My folly Is easy to see
But my brain's In a whirl.
There's something the matter with
me.
And I know It's a girl.
Berton Braley, m December Pacific
Monthly,
(Duluth Herald.)
Did you ever notice that not many
business men go into city politics?
Did you ever notice. In the govern
ment of the average city, that busi
ness methods are about the last thing
thought of and did you ever think
that there miht be some connection
between that and the fact that ca
pable business men with valuable
business don't go into city politics?
There Is a very close connection be
tween those things, and the fact is
that it is the hardest kind of a Job.
In the average city, to get business
men, the kind who ought to fill most
of the places, to become candidates
for mayor alderman.
Why?
Too much politics. The business
man is afraid of politics, and Is more
than glad to leave it to the profes
sional party politicians, even though
he knows that politicians aren't com
petent to handle large public affairs,
and that he isn't getting the kind of
government out of them that he ought
to have. Rid government hurts bus
iness. Good government helps busi
ness. Bad business means high tax
es, waste, extravaeance, corruption
and poor service at heavy cost. Good
government means economy business ;
methods in public affairs, low taxes ;
and a full return in public service
f "T the tax money spent. I
True though this all Is. it Isn't j
strong enough to induce the business '
men to take hold of public affairs,
becans they are afraid of politics.
If a business man becomes a candi
date for mayor, he mut run as a re
publican or as a democrat, and he
knows rieht at the start that that
puts a lot of citizens against him be
cause his partisan label is different
from theirs they are going to call
him a horsethief, charge that he puts
sand in his sugar, weighs the holes in
his cheese and robs the widow and
orphan. No wonder he balks.
There Is exactly where the com
mission form of city government
comes in.
At one blow it knocks politics out
of the box. It absolutely forbids any
man to run for office as a republican
or a democrat. It refuses to put his
party label on the ballot even If he
wants it there. It throws politics out
of the field altogether, and settles the
whole business down on the sensible
bas's of fitness. No man who Is the
right kind of a man is afraid to eo
Into a contest where personal fitness
alone is the issue, and that's the pre
cise and exact and solo issue In elec
tions under the commission form of
government.
Then business men with level heads
and sound experience need no longer
fear any more Just city business.
That's the way it has worked out
In the cities where it has been tried.
For instance take Leavenworth.
Leavenworth was a blind pig town In
prohibition Kansas, and you can im
agine what kind of government It
had. Its chief revenue was from
blind pig fines, Imposed -monthly. It
adopted the commission form of gov
ernment, and elected a hardware mer
chant, a soap manufacturer, a lum
berer and a big drayman as commis
sioners. With the loss of 180,000 In
revenue from blind pigs, these hard-
headed business men kept the city
Bums, paia oit tzz.ooo n bonds, and
reduced the tax levy 126,000 a year

plying business methods to a business
mat had been run Into the ground
by politics.
Good husbands are made, not born;
a man la Just the raw material to
which hla wife puts the finishing
