AMERICANS AND AM eRlcA.

Wondsrs at HouAe That Far ourpaa1
Thoss Of Amy Fereisn Land.
Every year many thousands of I'M.
American Americans go to Europe I'd
see scenery infinitely inferior to our
own, upon which they have never
looked. We say there are no ruins in
this country. and cross the ocean to ad-
miro crumbiing piles less majestic and
less interesting than remain in Ameri-
ca We read Of famous gorgcs and de.
files abroad, and ere eager to zee them;
unknowing that in q dcsolate corner Of
the United States is the greatest nat
ural wonder of the wosld-a canyon in
which ell the rest of the worlds famous
gorges could be lost forever. And not
one American in ten thousand has ever
looked upon its grandeur.
OF course, we know the Sahara. for
that it not American; but you vii. aecls
far to find anyone who is familiar with
an American desert as absolute and as
fearful We are aware Of our giant
redwoods in California-the hugest
trees in the world-but did you ever
hear of petrified forest covering thou
sands Of acres? There is one such in
the United States, and many smaller
petrified forests Do you know that in
one territory alone We have the ruins
Of over fifteen hundred stone cities as
old as Columbus. and many Of them
far older? Have you ever heard Of
towns here whose houses are three-story
caves. hewn from the solid rock?
It seems to me that when these and q
thousand other wonders are part OF
America, we. who ore Americans,
shoald be asham ed to know absolutely
nothing of them If such things ex-
listed in England or Germany OF
France. there would be countless books
and guides overfowing with informar
ton about them, and we would hasten
on excursions to them, or learn all that
reading would tell uA-C F. Lummis.

by ofice-boys and young men of slender
salaries. aad at the same table with .
reporter, sat sallow-looking youth.
and this is the order he gave: Rice
and milk. and stewed cranberries- ;"
The order In itself Is not startling. but
Just imagine mixing the rice and ber-
ries together in the milk!
The next order that was given was:
"A cup of coffee and piece of lemon
pie That sounds all right, but the
purchaser. instead of pouring the milk
into the coffee. calmly spilled IL 1~er
the inoTensive piee Of pie and began
sn,ashingit with his fork until IL looked
like floating island" This wss topped
on with plate Of ssewed prunes and
the inevitable cigarette
That youth should be able TO deveuf

THE SENATE CoMMITTEG-s VISIT.


The Senate has authorized its Committee
on Territories to visit the four dependen-
cics, Utah, New Mexico, Oklahoma and
Wyoming, during the recess of Congress.
The committee announces that it viii not
start until after the November elections.
That viii leave but three weeks in which
to make the trip and the investigations
these latter referring to the propriety of
the admission OF the territories into the
Union as states. AS fully two weeks of
the time will be consumed by travel. the
Inquiry will necessarily be restricted and
the observations limited However. the
gentlemen should see and hear enough dur
ing the hurried visit to enable them to act
intelligently with reference to the depend
encies. Il is doubted II they will add TO
their knowledge concerning Utah. Some
members Of the committee are familigr
with this territory from personal observa.
ton and q fairly good acquaintance with
the people. Others have been enlight-
ened within the year, Utah having
figured somewhat prominently in Congress-
all through the session. A large and in
telligent delegation Of our citizens ap-
peared before this very same committee
last winter. and much literature OF an edu-
cstionai and instructive character has been
spread before the committeeman. About
Rll the committee would expect to do here
would be to see for themselves the visible
evidences of the prosperity, development
and advancement OF the territory. and that
can be done from the car windows and a
visit to two or three OF the more prominent
cities. However. we take it thai the case
Of Utah will not be decided BY anything
the committee may hear or see here. Our
case is unlike that OF any other territory.
the question involved being other than
that Of natural ability to maintain a state
overnment.
We believe the committee win in their
hasty visit see and learn enough to con-
vince them that Oklahoma, New Mexico
and Arizona should be promptly erected
into states. There is misapprenension
on the part Of the average congressman
regarding these territories. The feeling il
that they are poor in purse and
uaturai1resources, and semi-barbarous
as TO population. 1t will not
require much OF "a visit to overcome that
impression. and establish the opinion that
the supposedly weak ard semi-civilized
commemorative are really solid, energetic
communities, their people not only worthy
