Will PRESIDENT M,KINLEY
COME?

Tomorrow the committee to invite
PRESIDENT Mckinley to attend the Pho
neer Jubilee celebration will wait upon
him and formally invite him. will
the president accept the invitation and
come? To have the president honor
the occasion with his presence would
delight not only the people of this state
but of the entire inter-mountain re-
gion. They would feel that the section
of country in which they live was rec
ognized as an integral and important
part of the Union. President Mckinley
is not unacquainted with Utah, hav-
ing been here when a member of con-
gress. So it cannot be said that he is
unacquainted with the west. But upon
the occasion of his former visit the
state had not emerged from the terri
torial condition, the old issues that had
so long torn the people asunder were
still alive. Now he would find prom
Using territory become a great state: a
once divided people united and happy;

a great commonwealth where prosper
ity should reign and poverty be I'M
known, and where material advance
ment should be surpassed by moral and
intellectual achievements. He would
find not only in Utah but in each and
every of the states of the inter-moun-
tain region a people who love the

they differed from their brethren of
the east on many questions that still
they do not differ from prejudice but |
from deep conviction. The people of
the west believe that the people of the |
east have a misconception of them, and |
this is largely so; but have not the
people of the west misconceptions of
the people Of the east as we'll? Each
section sees the mote in the eye of the
other but fails to detect the beam in
its own. The people of the west be-
ieve that visit to the Pioneer Jubilee
and somewhat extended tour of the
west by President Mckinley would
give him and those with him, and
through them the entire country.

1t is sincerely to be hoped that

THE MAYFLowER's LOG.

The surrendering of the log of the
Mayflower to the ambassador of the
United States at the court of st. James
was an act of distinguished courtesy
towards the whole American people and
was evidence of a desire for peace and
good will. There is undoubtedly more
sentiment in the whole affair than
question of rightful ownership, and the
pretense that Massachusetts, had any
right to it because it had to do chiefly
with her history, is all nonsense AS
well say that every document in En-
gland or other European country re-
lating to the settlement of America be-
longs to this country. But the sur
render of the log is a matter of con-
graduation, and now that it has been
surrendered there appears to be a ques-
ton what institution shall have the
custody of it. The manuscript will ar
rive on the 18th inst. it is expected.
and will likely be handed to President
Mckinley. BY him it is expected that
it viii be turned over to Senator Hoar
and by HIM to Governor wolcott. To
whom viii he turn it over? That is a
question that is agitating all Massa-
chusetts. Just how agitated Massa-
chusetts is is shown by the following
from the Boston Herald. Says the
Herald:
To whom will the governor give it |

TALES OF THE DAY.
Mckinley and Senator Mason

President Mckinley really likes to see
Senator Mason. Not long ago the presi-
dent asked Senator Mason to tell one of
his stories. says. the Washington Star.
The senator responded by telling a story
which convulsed the president with
laughter. 1t illustrated the fact that the
pie which the president had to distribute
won't go around by long odds. 1t was
this:
Pat Mccarthy gave a dinner. to which
he invited three or four of his neigh
bors. Pat had allowed his wife to cook
only one chicken. When dinner was
served Pat took possession of the cary
ing knife. and in a most hospitable tone
said to Mrs. Dugan:
What part of Their fowl will yez
have?"
"a leg if yez phase" was the answer.
AN what part win yez have? Would
veg loike some av Their white?" Pat in
qHired of Mrs. O'Hooligan.
AN a leg will do me-" she answered.
AS each answered the part of the fowl
she desired was given her.
What part will yez have, Moike
Walsh?' Pat blandly inquired of his
neighbor.
s'Oi balave Oh will take a leg, too" said
Moike. in his most modest way, wishing
to follow in the footsteps of the rest of
the company.
''Begorra,' said Pat to Mickey. what
does yez think Dim carving-a spider?"
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1897-05-09

that Governor Bradford gave or willed
the manuscript to any person or So
ciety. However, the Bradfords. whose
name now is legion, will make no claim
so far as they themselves are con-
cerned, but will, if called upon. signify
their deslre 10 nave it placed in the
state library.
The Pilgrim society will claim that
Plymouth is the place where the manu-
script should be kept, for was it not
written there, and is Is not history
OF the Plymouth plantation? Those op-
posed to such disposition assert that
there is no proper place in Plymouth
value.
Pilgrim hall is not ire-proof brild-
ING and the only other place in Ply
mouth is the register Of deeds office
d pace, they say, wholly unfit for the
housing of such a manuscript
Inc Boston public library claimants
contend that it should go there. and
set u0 the statement that the manu-
script probably belonged to the Prince
ilDrary; now in the public library. The
Frlnce library was left in the custody
OF deacons of the Old South church
py the Rev. Thomas Prince, formerly
pastor of the church. Some thirty
years ago the Prince library was given

trust All or Pastor Princes DOCKS Dear
his bookplate mark. The Bradford
manuscript has this mark on the fly
leaf. Hence the, claim that it really
belongs to the Prince library and
should be placed with it in the public
library.
Again, there are those who claim it
should be given TO the commonwealth,
and placed in the state library. AL
though written at Plymouth, the iden-
tity of Plymouth has been merged into
the state, as has largely its interest.
These claimants place no faith in the
Prince theory, asserting that these
were facts of the manuscript bearing
the Prince mark, does not show con-
elusively that it belonged to Pastor
Prince There is nothing to show that
the manuscript was not loaned to Mr..
Prince. and not given.
So the battle has commenced, and |
the end is not yet.
To the country at large it will seem
that the manuscript should be placed !
in the custody of the state of Massa-
and that the state library is |
the proper place in which to deposit it. |
While the manuscript has a greater
interest for Massachusetts than anyone
else, still the whole country has an in
terest in it, and it was out of Difference
TO the whole country that it was sur
rendered.

CASTLE GATE HIGEWAYMEN.

The officers of the Castle Gate Coal
company have abandoned hope of re-
covering the money that was stolen
from Cashier Carpenter by the two
highwaymen a week or so since. Could
the highwaymen who committed the
robbery be apprehended and convicted
they would feel that much had been
done. 1t is more than probable that the
money that was stolen will never be
recovered, while it is far from certain
that the robbers will ever be appre-
hended and convicted. Even their
identity does not appear to be known.
1t has been suggested many times
since the robbery that the gang of
outlaws that infest the southeastern
part of the state should be Cleaned
out" The suggestion is all right, but
thus far it has not been accompanied
with plans and specifications for car
rying it out. Surprising it be admitted
that the men who dwell in the San
Rafael mountains and who at times
sally forth on predatory expeditions of
one kind or another are all desperadoes
(they cannot be outlawed except
through legal process), how are they
to be cleaned out?" They must be
charged with definite crimes, and even
after these charges are made an eff
fort must be made to arrest them be-
fore severe measures towards them can
be undertaken. They may be the worst
men in the world, but notwithstanding
this they cannot be shot down as dogs.
If they resist officers sent to arrest |
them such shooting down would be
justifiable; but not otherwise The law |
