The boys are home again. The town
was up at daybreak for the boys were
coming home. The air was filed with
music-the boys are coming home. The
breeze from up the canyon sang the
boys are coming home. The birds up
in the poplars chirped the boys are
coming home; and every heart in Utah
beat the one sweet refrain. 1t was
written by the sunshine on the surface
of the lake. 1t cropped out in the
laughter of the children on the streets.

THE GRAND PARADE.
q magnificent Spectacle and Great
Outburst of Enthusiasm

Cheer upon cheer greeted the various
organizations Of the parade from the
dense crowds along the line Of march
up South Temple street to Main. Tbera
We're in all 1000 men in line. Down
Main the streets We're packed on both
sides. At the triumphal arch at the
intersection of Main and Second So1th
streets the jam of people was greatest
and here the enthusiasm reached its
highest pitch. So great was the crowd
and so great the pressure from the side
streets that all progress was blocked
Tor several minutes and it was Only
after hard fight and the combined eff
forts of the police. General Penrose. his
aides and marShals. that a channel
could be opened through the mass OF
humanity. People stood in the cutters
at the sides with water running over
their shoes and minded it not. They
hung on telegraph poles. they massed
in windows, they roasted upon every
conceivable projection. They cheered,
bands following each other so closely
that one could not be distinguished
from the other. played they knew not
what, and to cap the climax Of the Gin
and uproar the Kenyon hotel ired long
strings of cannon crackers. These
reached from the street 10 the too of
the balcony, and exploded in such quick
succession that all other sounds were
drowned. People ran to and fro in be-
wilderment, horses plunged and threw
their riders. the bands were smothered
and dumb, but nothing stopped this
rattle and bang till the ends of the
strings were reached and a regular
broadside of confusion brought the up
roar to an end.
At the Reviewing Stand.
The reviewing stand on Fourth South
street. opposite the north door of the
joint building, was filed with people
an hour before the parade was due.
The council and city officers had places
in the rear. but the front row of chairs
was reserved for Governor Wells and
his staff. They drove down as soon as
the train arrived and took their seats
A wait of forty minutes followed.
At 12:45 the head of the procession
appeared around the corner Of State
and Fourth South streets. The bands
all stopped playing when they came
within twenty PAGES of the stand and
the soldiers and civilians marched by
in most cases, with only q salute to
the governor.
Several times there was spasmodsd
cheering for the executive, but this
happened in only one or two instances.
Governor Wells was cordial in return
ing the salutes of all the organizations,
but his recognition of the batterymeD
was most striking.
When they came up he barred his head
and kept it bare until the last man OF
them had gotten by. There was no
pronounced cheering from the stand ex-
cept for the batterymen- All other fea-
lures were allowed TO go by without so
much as a ripple of applause.
The appearance of the artillerymen,
however, was the signal for an enthu-
siastic outburst. which continued as

Glory, Hallelujah" part of it. 1t was
after 10 o'clock before the meal was
finished. The crowds had been kept
away from the tables SO that it was
possible to form the batteries in some
order. All hands rose and gave three
cheers at the top of their lungs for
Ogden The cheers were returned with
interest Immediately.
March to Station.
Then the boys got ready to march
back to the station. There weren't
many people on the streets to cheer
them, but the lads marched as if they
were in the presence of thousands.
Their band headed the parade and
made the air ring with the liveliest kind
of quicksteps. The Junction City band
swung into line behind the artillery and
tksS came Cache county, blowing for

Finally the parade theory was aban-
doned, and street cars were placed at
the disposal Of the soldiers to take
them up to Lester park, where the
good women of Ogden had prepared a
breakfast for them. The band had a
car all to itself and on the way up
broke loose with Hot Time Johnnie
Comes Marching Home and other gay
and festive airs.
How They Ate Breakfast.
Everybody was seated at the beauti-
fully arranged and decorated breakfast
tables at $50 o'clock. The officers, with
Governor Wells and his staff and
Mayor Boyle had a table at the south
end of the park. The Ogden band
played medley of patriotic airs, and
then Mayor Boyle attempted to make
an address of welcome. Before he had
gotten beyond "Frien Is and fellow. cit

liens" the band broke loose again.
The mayor tried hard to talk against
the music, but his lung power wasn't
built to cope with the combined lungs
of twenty-five musicians. Governor
Wells responded on behalf of the state.
He said he was glad to be in Ogden,
and few complimentary things about
the city and the soldiers it had pro-
duced.
When calls came for Major Young,

were exceedingly brief. What he said
was: IF / were to make talk now,

nation upon them with the praise of
all people ringing in their ears.
The crowd was on the streets in
countless numbers at very early
hour. They moved about like restless
waves, admiring the beautiful decora-
tons and catching every stray bit of

At 9 O'Clock the jam began at the
Short Line depot. People in squads,

After making a fair estimate of all

the value of some fifteen or twenty ne

AS TO INEQUALITIES AT FAIRS

We were surprised to see it mention
ed in an exchange that there was a di-
vision in the board of manager of the
state fair over the question of the mo-
ralities of the exhibition. There were
a part of the managers who favored the
usual demoralizing attractions of the
fair, such as gamblers. thimble-riggers,
fakes, side shows and the various eject
eras. Then there were Others of a high
er sense of responsibility who were
opposed to such vicious, corruping ex-
hibits and games. Of course men will
differ as to these things. Men of the
world will hardly be shocked at the
Midway Peasants or worried over
immoralities. But there are a great
many thousands of people in North
Carolina who will not condone such eX-
hibits or visit such shows of the baser
SORT. Because the immoral element
was some what eliminated it is COM
planned that the show was not so at
tractive and the attendance not so
great. We believe if a state fair can
only prosper by catering for low tastes
and by encouraging obscene and vul-
gar and sinful practices that it is time
it should die. From the S~tatesville
Landmark we learn that 1.-The dissatis-
faction on account of the elimination of
these immoral features of the manage
ment of the state fair broke out in the
meeting of the directors, where it was
asserted by some of the directors that
if these features had been allowed the
people would have been better enter
aimed and the management would have
realized more revenue with which to
pay off indebtedness. There were OBJ
iections to this of course and a pretty
warm debate ensued."
1t adds that there is a large ele-
ment that wants to be entertained
even at the risk of being h~umbugged.'
and we may add, of being debauched.
We were gratified to see that Mr.. A. w.
Cooke, OF Wake Forest, in a communi-
cation in the Raleigh News and Obser-
yer has taken strong but solid ground
against the plea for debased shows to
attract and corrupt, and pleads for bet

The Charlotte Presbyterian Standard
publishes an instructive statement in
regard to the growth of Presbyterian
ism in that progressive, e~nterprising
town. The First and Second churches
have raised for church work and build
ings in the town in seven years the
sum of 1892, 900. In the last four years
the First church has contributed to for
eign missions the sum of $40, 900. In the
same time the Second church has given
to home missions $4,000. In it's short
history the Second has added $50 MEM
bers. The Standard says that it is pro-
bable that more people ave joined this
church than have, united with all the
churches of any one denomination in
Charlotte. There are six churches in
Charlotte and three large chapels with
f1ourishing Sunday schools and with
$3.50 white members. The Standard
says: while the population of Char
lotte in the last twenty-five years has
increased 1923 per cent. the white Pres
byterian membership has increased $50
per cent"

There is a new question agitating the
football "rooter." The papers consider
this new agent of education and civili-
cation. The Messenger mentioned that
there was "a cheering section" added
at Yale University. They have the
great responsibility resting upon them
to ''whoop up" their boys who kick the
balls, and make a success of the other
wise doubtful game. The Hartford
Courant has IN editorial on the
"rooters" and it is of sufficient interest
to be quoted from. 1t says:
1.-THE arm-swinging and mouth-twist-
ing have been left to the IDIOTS among
the benches.
1T seems that the players are a fail
ure, and, hereafter, the battle is to de-
pend upon the lungs of the spectators.
This is more interesting than hopeful,
and we still venture to believe that the
Registers important announcement is
based on INSTRUMENTATION. The ridicu-
Gus performances of the 'rooters' are
the most serious drawbacks to the ath-
letic games of the college boys. The
racket is uncomfortable, and the spec
tacle of educated gentlemen making
such obtrusive asses of themselves is
humlliating. 1t confuseS the
players and it puts into places Of prom
inence certain pin-heads whose only
real claim to eminence is that they do
not know enough to keep still.
Better play the old way with heads.
