THE COMING CELEBRATION.

/ In few days the people of this state
viii begin to celebrate the semi-cen-
tennial anniversary of the entrance Of
the pioneers into Salt Lake valley. 1t
viii be participated in by those who
came here fifty years ago, and they will
be the tie that binds the present to the
past In a few years they will all
have passed away. and then all viii be
but memory and tradition. When that
time comes celebrations of the colon
ization of the state will be largely per-
functory, while that of this year viii be
one of rejoicing and of giving thanks.
Even now the advent Of the pioneers
is so far back in the past that many
have no realization of what it really
was. In a very aDpreciative article on
the forthcoming celebration, the Kan
sas City Star says:
On the oath of July there will be OBJ
served ut Salt Lake City the semi
centennial of Utah, the fiftieth anniver-
sary Of the arrival OF the first Mormon
train a Salt Lake, in 1S47-
Young people whose ideas of what
sort of a world was in existence fifty
years ago are indefinite, must not sup
pose that the word train in this con-
nection means a railroad train. Far
from it. 1t was by q wagon and OK
train, the slowest method of human
progress-slower even than going on
foot-that the pioneers of Utah adj
vanced day by day, mile by mile, to-
ward Zion.
1t is said that of the 1000 who came
10 Utah in 1S47, about 800 are still liv-
ing These. though they rode in the OK
wagons as little children. are aging
men and women now. If they were tall
enough TO walk beside the wagons, or
TO drive the oxen, they are really old
now. To these the celebration viii be
most interesting in its secondary fea-
ture, The Parade of Progress when
there VIII be presented a pageant illus
tratiVe OF the advance of Utah in fifty
years. There viii be, beside, 4 parade
of floats which have been dipped in the
water of the lake, and which viii gilt
ter all over with saline crystals. There
viii be a parade. too, of 10000 children
and the pioneers Will march, seen but
not seeing.
But the most interesting thing of all
will be the Parade Of Progress" for it
is long and wonderful way that Utah
has come. The march of the Mormoas
across the plans fifty years ago was by
no means a triumphal progress Those i
who made ii were really fusitives, in
search Of a continuing city" in this
world. They were seeking a resting
place so far away that there could be
no pursuit. The first advantage, they
deemed was remoteness. In Salt Lake
basin, surrounded by mountains. and, |
when they entered it, a sort of No /
-Aan's Land they deemed that they |
had found refuge. Tt was, it seemed, /
saif- banishment from the civilized |
world, but they were willing and ready !

TROUBLE WITH JAPAN.

There is no reason in the world why
/ there should be any trouble between
I Japan and the United States over the
annexation of Hawaii to this country.
Japan protests against annexation
! fearing the rights of her subjects in
the islands Will be jeopardized thereby
It is her duty to see that they are pro-
tected in them, and they will be- This
government can have no desire to work
a wrong against single resident Of
the Hawaiian Islands, no matter what
his nationality may be.
The talk of war with Japan seems
to come chiefly from the annexation
lists, and some OF it looks very much as
though it We're for the purpose of ere
ating pronunciation sentiment
among the people. 1t has earmarks
that have been worked from time to
time to stampede congress into rec
ognition of Cuban belligerency or in
dependence. Japanese, in a position to
know, say their country wants no war
with the United States, and expects
none. That is the sentiment which pre-
walls in this country. unless it be among
the jingoes.
This is indisputable: Japan has a
right to insist that the rights of her
citizens resident in Hawaii be respected
in the event of annexation, the same
as she has if there is no annexation
But her right extends no further. The
question of annexation per Sc is no
concern of hers; and the government at
Washington is under no obligation
whatever to consult Japan's wishes in
the matter or her prejudIces. though
naturally it would prefer to have her
cheerful acquiescence in the annexa-
ton of the islands, than to have her
sullen acquiescence in their annexa-
ton But there is no moral or legal
obligation to make annexation pleasant
to Japan.

TRANs-MIssIssIpp1 CONGRESS-.


The Mississippi congress meets
today 1t is an important body, and
VIII discuss questions that are of vital
Importance to the west, questions that
concern this portion of the country
more intimately than any other. but
that are not antagcnistie to other por-
tions, they being problems which do
Tot directly confront them. The pur-
poses OF these congresses is TO directly
further the interests of the west. and
whatever furthers the interest of one
section Of the country, if it be not at
the expense of another section, fur
theirs the interests of the whole: it is
taking care of the minutes. and that
done, the hours viii take care Of them
selves. 1t does not follow that because
a proposition is advanced and argued
for in the congress that it will ALWAYS
be for the best interests of the west. or
that its adoption would be wise. But
it is discussed there. and has light
thrown upon it, and by those who have
paid special attention TO it: this of it
self is much.
The congress is anything but a holt
day affair, it meaning for all who at
tend it as delegates much labor. Yet
the delegates should not pay too as
siduous attention to their labors. else
they may become irksome; then. again,
all work and no play makes Jack a
dull boy.
The delegates to the congress are

which they come. They are our guests.
being here by special invitation. and
are more than welcome. and it will be
the pleasure of our citizens to make
their visit as pleasant and agreeable
as possible. The city is honored by
their presence, and all possible will be
done to show its appreciation of the
fact

THE LAWS TO BE ENFORCED.


IT appears that the city officials
whose duty it is TO enforce the law
| have, at last, become aroused to the
necessity of enforcing it. 1t is said the
mayor has determined that the city
ordinances generally shall be enforced.
1t is stated that henceforth the saloons
must close on Sundays; that dives must
so; that winerooms must be closed;
that crooks of all kinds must go. If
all this is done it will have the hearty
Endorsement OF the people, and they
will stand behind the mayor and his
subordinates and hold up their hands
in their efforts TO enforce the laws.
The people will do all this, but still
the people Will continue to ask why the
ordinances have not been enforced
heretofore; why saloons have been al
lowed to be open on Sundays in open
defiance of the city ordinances; why
the VIII and wishes of the executive
officers of the city have for SO great
awhile been substituted for the city
ordinances in those very things that
are in greatest need of stringent regu-
lation. All thes questions the people
are asking, and many more. Who can
or who viii answer them?
Is this sudden awakening of the city
authorities to the very bad state, of
affairs existing in the city a result of
the Egan murder? 1t certainly looks
like il. Yet that murder was but a
logical if not inevitable result of the
state of lawlessness that has existed
for months. a state of lawlessness that
has been winked at and encouraged by
those city authorities who are now,
they say, determined to enforce the
laws. The condition of affairs that has
existed in this city for months past has
been an invitation TO crooks all over
the country to come here, for those al
ready here have felt that there were
none TO modest or make them afraid.
The mayors determination TO enforce
the ordinance, if sincere, is a most
commendable one. But he will be quite
poweriess to accomplish his purpose
unless his efforts are earnestly and
honestly seconded by the police COM
mission. On that body should be placed
more blame for the de9lorable condi- !
ton of affairs that exists in the city
than upon anybody else. To the chief
of police and his subordinates its word /.
is law if not gospel.
It is high time that something was
done to vindicate the law, and the 1
effort that is now promised should not 1
be spasmodic, to cease so soon as the |
Jubilee is over. but continuous.

THE COAL MINERS, STRIKE.

The strike of the bituminous coal
miners has now assumed such propor-
tons that it must cause apprehension
to the public at large. It has reached
that stage where the sympathy of those
not directly engaged in the coal bust
ness. such as the railroad men who
haul the coal from the mines to the
market, IS becoming so strong that they
may join the miners. Indications are
not wanting that this may be done. So
soon as this is done, all the chances
are that there viii be the usual trouble
attendant upon all strikes Thus far
the coal miners who are on strike have
conducted themselves in a very exem-
plary manner and have done nothing
to ALLEVIATE public sympathy; it is GER
tainly TO be hoped that they will do
nothing to ALLEVIATE it,
It is the sympathetic strike which
causes the trouble, for it brings into
a controversy active participants who
have little or no knowledge of the mer-
its of the case. and who, whether they
have any knowledge cf the case or not,
have no interest in the result of the
strike, save in so far as they will nat
uraily wish to triumph, having as
sumed the quarrel.
The discipline of the various labor or
CARNATIONS is complete and effective
enough up to the point where their
members are ordered out, but after
that it ceases to be: it is effective so
long as no discipline is needed, but in
effective just where it is most needed.
What will be the outcome Of the
present strike none can tell. Public
sentiment is very strongly in favor Of
the submission of the differences be-
tween the miners and the operators to
arbitration. This would be the best
way out, and would avoid serious diff
Guilty A general strike all over the
country. such as resulted from the diff
ferenees between Pullman and his en-
ployees, is to be discouraged and dep
recated above all things.

The defect of American education"
says the Omaha Bee, lis not that it
imparts its benefits to too many peo-
pie. but that it seeks to cram too many
branches of instruction into the period
which the great majority of children
are able to devote to their schooling.
The result is superficial instruction
that is not remarkabl bic when called
into requisition in practical life" So
far as the public schools are concerned
that is the truth in nutshell. There
is too much surface, not enough depth;
too much is for show, not enough for
use. There is a strong tendency in the
public schools TO make the pupil jack
of all trades, master of none. And this
is being more or less recognized, and
the recognition OF the fact cannot fail
to result in good.

things on their own pegs, so to speak.
For instance, in what year was Gladstone

pill
Don't remember? Well, you must go
about it in the right way. How many

Just so. Now add that to the result

Eighteen hundred and nine"
Well now you have it. Gladstone was
born IN 1863. Everything depends upon
going to work in a proper manner. The
memory needs bit of help, that's all
