ORDER MUST BE RESTORED.

Foolish F'ilipinosI They have now
made it Impossible for the United
States government to let go of the
islands.
Our national supremacy must be
established there at whatever cost,
since war is on.
The old flag may be hauled down
whenever and however the American
people want it hauled down. But the
American people never yet asked for
it to be lowered under fire, and, by the
great horn spoon, they never will.
The Filipinos have made a fatal mis-
take and they must pay the penalty.
We do not need the Philippines. The
islands fell to us by the hazard of war.
This government never declared its in
tention of holding them. We were
merely waiting for the administration
to wake up and declare a policy.
But the Filipinos have made our
duty plain.
We cannot drop the Philippines and
run because Aguinaldo has bit the
hand that fed his people on the first
fruits of freedom.
1t We're disgraceful to withdraw the
army until the last remnant of insur-
rection is stamped out. American au-
thority acknowledged and every rebel
migrate hanged.

1T NEVER RECOILED.

Referring to Andrew Jensen, Edna
L. Smith and Alma Eldredge's candi-
dacy on the Republican ticket last fall,
the Tribune asks:
Did the Tribune come out next
morning after their nominations and
state that while it was ready TO defend
their Republicanism, it never could en-
dOrse their personal characters. and
then in a day or two begin to abuse as
enemies of the Mormon church all
those who dared to criticise their repu-
tations?
1t did not. The Tribune never re
cOiled' for an instant It never refused
to support them. It abused only Dem
ocrats who We're involved in the sys-
TEN which has been in vogue in Utah
for a half century or more. It ques-
toned only the motives of Democrats
who supported members Of this class
on their party ticket. It held that they
were whipped into line" hy some
apostle or other.
Yet the Tribune, claiming to work
for a certain reform, was supporting
candidates similarly situated. 1t may
claim that it had no evidence. It need
ed none. It wanted none. 1t had fully
as much as it had to substantiate its
charge that plural mar
riages are still being contracted in the
Mormon church and that the elders
thereof are solemnizing them in open
and persistent defiance of the law. 1t
even declared editorially that J. NJ
president of the Agricultural
college, was in the same boat, but it
Let the matter drop. It isn't asking
the legislature or the governor to make
a change. That wouldn't be good poll
tics
Since our neighbor seems to hold the
opinion that others are whipped into
line to support their party tickets. we
desire to know, and repeat our ques-
ton:
What apostle whipped P H. Lannan
INTO his support of the Republican
ticket last fall?
What apostle is whipping P. H. Ian
nan into most deathlike silence in
he Tanner case. while his organ is
having so much to say about Roberts?
When it comes to questioning mo-
ives, our neighbor should remember
is beam.

OUR FOUNDING HOSPITAL.

SOME GOOD SHORT STORIES
Stories of Mr. Dingley.
Pittsburg Dispatch)


The current of anecdotes that involve
the lamented chairman of the ways and
means committee has started. 1t will
probably not run long, for he was a
serious, Studious man, so engrosSed in
the immediate study of legislative af-
fairs that he seldom Joined the choice
wits of the cloak room, whence stories
emerge.
AS the leader of the house, it was Mr..
Dingley's privilege to move adjourn
ment, and the motion coming from him
always meant that the days work was
done. He was always in his seat ready
to move adjournment at any moment
when Mr.. Reed for any reason desired
to end business for the day. Some
times. however, he would be so busily
engrossed with his work that he would
miss Mr. Reeds eye or would forget
the message sent him by the speaker
Not seldom Mr. Dingley would look UP
with a startled air when Speaker
Reeds voice called out: The gentle
man from Maine moves that the house
does now adjourn And, indeed, some
times he was so lost in his figures that
Mr.. Reed would go through the form of
moving adjournment in his name and
Diminishing the house when he himself
was utterly Oblivious of it. Then Mr..
Reed would walk down the aisle. and
putting his arm around Mr.. Dingley's
shoulder. would tell him:
Come, Dingley, you have adjourned
the house. Let's go home
Here is another adjournment one, the
flavor of which is more delicious, when
it is recalled that all his life Mr.. Ding
ley was a total abstainer. During an
exciting debate in the house one day,
in which much time was being wasted,
Mr.. Dingley thought it his duty to in
terject a motion to adjourn. He made
his motion just after some wag had
sprung the ancient joke:
What did the gentleman from North
Carolina say to the gentleman from
South Carolina ?"
members:
It's a long time between drinks"
Just at that moment Mr.. Dingley, in
apparently complete unconsciousness of
the application, rose to his feet and
said:
Mr.. Speaker, then I move that the
house do now adjourn"
In personal appearance Dingley and
the speaker were the very opposite Mr.
Reed, big, burly. slow in speech and
lazy in action; Mr.. Dingley, slight,
wiry. quick in word and of nervous ac-
tivity in every gesture. Their habits,
too, were altogether different. Look
at Dingley out there" said Reed one
day, leaning back in his chair in the
cloak room, lazily putting away at his
cigar, and pointing to where Mr.. Ding
ley sat at his desk hard at work IN
bet he's at work figuring how many
pounds of tinplate have been imported
into this country from 1892 until last
week. And" added Mr.. Reed. after a

ADJUSTMENTS.

"Yon Yonson" is a favorite at the
Grand. A good Monday night audience
was inatendance last night and set the
stamp of approval on Mr.. Mulvey's lat
est offering.
The play is billed as a comedy drama.
which is probably as good a name for
it as any, for the comic element largely
predominates in the dialogue, while the
story itself is. of a serious and highly
dramatic character Ben Hendricks in
the title role was excellent in acting
and makeup, and caused tears and
laughter at will in the sympathetic au-
dience. OF the support company, Miss
Francis does well and is attractive in
appearance, and Miss Berlein, in an
Irish character part, is a great favorite
with the audience. Miss Norman does
a taking dance with Mr.. Hendricks in
the last act.
The story of the play is one of inter-
est. dealing with stolen patents, mild
vlllainy, Swedish innocence and hero
ism, and rather unexpected love cpl
sodes. OF course. Yon Yonson is the
central figure of all heroic scenes, a
fact which the gallery quickly learns,
and emphasizes with great enthusiasm.
4 comic quartette in the lumber camp
scene won many recalls last night, and
the scene, by the way, is a gorgeous af-
fair. showing the log-jam, snow, etc.
This play is one of the bes'- which
the Grand has presented for some time,
and packed houses will no doubt be the
rule over there all week.

AN AFFAIR OF OUR OWN.

The treaty has been ratified. BY a
vote of 81 TO q it passed the senate
yesterday.
This makes the Philippines the prop
erty of the United States government.
The Instruction becomes our own
affair No other power has any right
TO interfere The nation that gives aid
or comfort to the rebels or recognizes
their belIigerency thereby issues a
challenge TO the United States.
The Philippine imbroglio has been
removed from the highway of interna-
tional politics to the parental woodshed
of domestic settlement. 1t is nobody's
business hut our own.
There was only one thing to dO-and
the senate has done it. How any SEN
ator could have hesitated after the
night attack upon the American forces
at Manila Is hard to understand.
Now that the treaty is ratified, let
the Work of restoring order in the
Philip; nes proceed.
The supremacy of the United States
should be established beyond question,
if it taxes the most radical measures

GOLD WEATHER IN UTAH.

It has been cold. bitter cold, in Utah
for several days. The Oldest inhabitant
has had to scratch his thinker for a
memory to even compare with his pres
ent experience.
Waterworks. power-races, canals and
streams are frozen solid in some sec
tons, and in this usually delightful
valley it requires constant vigilance
and never-resting labor to keep the
city in water and the lights aglow
At Payson, in the vale of sunshine,
where the springtime seems to linger
through the year, and nature smiles
in indolent abandon from her bed of
roses, the mercury fell to 10 below
zero.
Away down at Fillmore, close to the
border line of Dixie, where fruits ripen
and flowers bloom in every season, the
Thermometer registered liz below zero.
OF course, when such spells come it
is no surprise that the 10 mark was
passed on the down grade at Cotton
and Coalville. But there are heaps of
snow and miles of cold in Utah now.
It is a record breaker. 1t will do to

or else they lack them. If the former
assumption be correct, the administra-
ton has grossly insulted them. If they
are not Intelligent enough to discharge
the duties of their position, they should
be asked TO resign. If they are not fair
they should be forced to resign, and all
the other cases they have ever heard
should be reopened. If they are dishon-
est and corrupt, they should be sent to
prison.
Really it would seem that the only
way to satisfy the administration is. as
one suggests to pass a law providing
that no judges shall take part in de-
Gliding the fate of Dreyfus except those
who have confessed an unalterable be-
lief in the ex-captain's guilt.

FRENCH TRIBUNALS.

Every development in the Dreyfus
case is astonishing. Whether the
French ex-lieutenant who has just been
arrested for supplying foreign govern
ments with military secrets will be
able to throw any light on the perplex-
ing investigation remains to be seen.
Even if it fixed the entire RESPONSE
bility and exonerates the prisoner Of
Devils island, it is doubtful if the de-

CALIFORNIA; CLIMATE.

When all the land is bitten, and
all the streams are frozen up, and pow
erty is pinched with cold and traffic is
snowbound everywhere else, California
is smiling, blossoming, carrying a fan
and parasol and inviting the people of
other states to share her hospitality
and her climate.
Some Californians are even complain
ing OF the excessive heat. But, come
to look the situation over carefully, a
little too much sunshine is a good thing
to be able to growl about.
Just think of it. When people were
freezing to death in ST. Louis and in
other sections of the country, and ava
lanches We're threatening towns, and
stock was perishing from the Sierras
to the seaboard of the Atlantic, the Elk
aminer reported "a mild day in Cali
fornia, with the temperature at from IS
in San Francisco to 20 at San Luis
Obisoo with an average of about 60
throughout the state''
With this high temperature it finds
fault. even, and says:
with the weather back to normal
winter temperatures in the sos and the
prospects for rain good. California is
the state to live in. We tender our
condolences to our unfortunate eastern
friends. and suggest to them that if
they want to be in a place where it is
worth while to be alive, let them pack
up their goods and come out to Cali
forria''
That's all right. Climate is a good
thing. but it can become monotopous.
1t may take the place of clothing in
some localities, but it isn't good to eat.

One day a cOnvalescent soldier stole
his hat. and he bought another from

returning to his tent a guard on the

guard, you're inside the lines. Go
back" He saw the hat, but it was TOO
dark to. make out the features of the
wearer.
Lyman walked calmly on, oblivious
to the hail.
Go back there, Cabano," yelled the
guard, lifting his gun, ''or I'll shoot"
Still ignorant of his danger and with

his way. Then the Krag-Jorgensen

hours to complete the machine and

not invent a proper needle and had to
give it up.
Just as the kings warriors were
about to take him away to execute him,
he noticed that the spears they carried
were pierced near the head. Like an
inspiration the solution of the needle
problem came to him, and, while i'm

Thirty-three Democratic members of

Moses Thatcher, asking him to consent
to run for the United States senate.
Thirty-two members can elect.
But Mr.. Thatcher declined the honor.
In his speech of declination he stated
reasons which indicate a breadth Of
mind, an exalted craftsmanship. a true
regard for his people, an unselfsh am
bition that few men possess.
Taking such high ground, Mr..
Thatcher has endeared himself to the
Utah public still more, and has shown
that his love for his people is stronger
than his desire for honors.

Many queries are coming in concern
ing the Philippines. These islands have

was not until 1929 that Spanish rule
was finally acknowledged. To this day
