WELCOME THE HERO.

One of the heroes of Manila bay will
reach Utah this afternoon over the
Short Line His welcome should be
warm and his stay in the state made
pleasant
The people Of this country appreciate
the work done by their heroes in the
army and navy, and they want to see
them, TO know just how they look and
walk and talk and dress. a visit from
a real hero of the war, and especially
one who fought with Dewey, is of far
greater interest than would be a visit
from the president or any of his pOlit-
ical generals. 1t is a proud moment in
the life of any American when he can
grasp the hand of a hero of one of the
greatest naval battles of the world.
And such an opportunity will come with
he arrival of Lieutenant Pearson to-
day.
How the fond hearts of his old father
and mother at Draper must thrill with
love and pride as they watch the well
come their hero son receives!

in a remote age, to which authentic
history does not reach and which
mythology invests with misty gran
deur. From the beginning Athens has
been that rock, and that rock has been
Athens. Around it as an axis Athen-
ian events have revOlved. 1t is the
world-famous Acropolis. The meaning
of the name is the upper city or cit
adel. The name has since been often
applied to the highest or fortified part
OF other cities. Still, when one speaks
of the "Acropoiis' always the great
rock of Athens is meant.
To that rock the Athenian poets and
orators always referred with pride and
reverence In the heroic age, when the
pagan gods were thought to dwell with
men and when men rivaled the gods,
it was the reputed scene of divine ex-
ploits. Neptune and Minerva, or, as the
Greeks called her, Pallas Athena, were
both DESTROYS to become the tutelar
deity of the nascent city. On the
broad surface of the rock they con-
tended for mastery. Their rivalry
ended with the triumph of the god
dess. From her the city was called
Athenae or Athens.
The Athenians believed they enjoyed
the peculiar and tender protection of
PaIlas Athena. Every religion has a
large part in determining the character
and acts of its followers. A people,

WHERE DOES IT BEGIN?

The St Louis Globe-Democrat asks
] the question. Where is the west?"
and answers it as follows:
As a geographical mark the west was
a continually receding line from the be-
ginning of the government onward un-
til a few years ago. when the Pacific
slope started to become widely settled.
\ hundred years ago out west meant
anywhere from Rochester or Buffalo
south to Gordonville, Va, or Green's
borough, y. c. The line moved slowly
for the next few years, but after the
introduction of steamboats, on the
rivers west of the Alleghanies and the
advance of the verge of the settled
area TO the prairie country the march
perceptibly quickened. When Daniel
Boone died in 1920 the western verge of
the settled area of the United States
had reached him in Missouri. Kit Car
son saw il cross the Rocky mountains
and ten years ago, when the state of
Washington was admitted. the westerly
line occupied the Pacific shore from
the Mexican boundary to Canada. The
old classification of the state has be-
come obsolete. The Mississippi and
mot the Alleghanies should be consid-
cred the dividing line between the east
and the west. While the population
center has not yet reached the Missfs-

change has not been in commercial and
military development alone, but in the

of the people. At the time Of Commo-

BITING ITSELF.

"Colonel Pat Lannan, the widely
known editor Of the Salt Lake Trib-
une," was interviewed il Washington
the other day by the Post Of that city.
1t was just after his personal organ
had likened the silver issue TO a corpse,
and had said that 1t is useless to make
another stand for silver in this coun-
try until conditions change"
In that interview Mr.. Lannan was
reported as expressing the same sent-
ments. and adding:
As for Colonel Bryan, while many of US
admire him and gave him our votes in
1886. II must be said that his prestige is
or the wane- His correspondence with
Perry Belmont caused a great man.-
people TO form the opinion that his merits
had been exaggerated But no matter
whether the Democrats name Bryan or
some other man, Mckinley IS going TO
succeed himself.
The Herald reproduced the interview
at the time, and lately had occasion to
repeat this particular observation made
by Mr.. Lannan concerning Mr.. BRYAN.
The Tribune notes the fact. and says:
How much longer is the Herald going
to repeat that faisehood2 Does the rene
tition Of u stupid lie give it sanctity?
The Herald does not claim that its
repetition Of Mir. Lannan's remark gives
1t sanctity. II does not believe that Mr.
Bryan's prestige is on the wane, or that
his merits have been exaggerated. But
we desire to respectfully call Mr.. Ian
mans attention 10 the fact that it was
not The Herald that referred to it as
"a stupid lie" The Herald uses more
respectful language, always.

WEAT WOULD THEY?

The chief excuse given for the com
mencement of the litigation which de-
prives Salt Lake City of an increased
supply Of water this season is that COM
petent supervision of the improvements
ordered by the council was desired
Admitting, for the sake of argument,
that the superintendent does not possess
that technical knowledge of waterworks
that the non-partisan committee, COM
posed of Messrs. ]. Z. DoOly, P II.
Lannan, c. c. Goodwin ct al, pledged
that their mayors appointees should
have, it is nevertheless a fact that the
superintendent was to make the i'm
provements according to the city engi-
neer's plans and specifications
on the 21st of April. ten days before
the injunction suit was filed,
the committee on waterworks
filed d report which was sub
sequently adopted by the council as
soon as a vote could be taken thereon,
giving the city engineer the supervision
of the work and the right to inspect
the materials TO the end that his plans
could be carried out"
The only votes recorded against this
proposition were cast by Councilmen
Buckle. Robertson and Diehl-the three
Republican members.
Partisanship is rank indeed when it
would place in jeopardy the lives, the
health and the property of the people
for the sake of party advantage: and
it is getting desperate when. under
cover of a legal technicality, it pre-
vents the public from enjoying its
rights and necessities. On the false as
sumption that competent supervision
was not provided by the council
If the superintendent OF waterworks
cannot be entrusted to purchase ma
terials and employ men TO dig trenches;
if the city engineer cannot be relied
upon to furnish plans and specifications

TEN. and to pass upon the materials
used, then where are the pledges of
our partisan friends whose mayor
appointed both of these officials? And
what, if anything, can the board Of
public works add To the honesty and
of the one or to the technical
knowledge and experience of the other?

Woodman Threw Three Aces.
OKansas CITY Times.)

thdllSclS lily IlHtS.J
There was one Woodman in Kansas
City last week who had very good luck,
but very bad eyesight. He went out
to take in the town by gasliSht. About
midnight he blew into a well-known
Walnut street saloon, and. walking up to
the bar he asked for a drink OF the best
rye there was in the house. The stranger
had accumulated very good load of
various kinds of booze" and his stag
gering attracted the attention of a crowd
ct the other end of the bar.
The bottle Of the best rye was placed
on the bar and the Woodman filled tn
glass and then. as he saw several slot
machines on the opposite side of the
room he said:
I'm not going to pay 10 cents for that
drink. Watch me get it for a nickel.
He dropped nickel in the slot, the
cards We're shuffied by the machine, and
the result was pair of aces, which en-
titled the player to one drink. The Wood
man drank his whisky He was not salts

intimate devotion of the Athenians to
their divine patron was no less marked
in its results. Except among the He
brews, nowhere in antiquity was relig-
ion so interviewer with, and so lnflu-
entail over, daily life and thought as
among the Greeks. Athena was the
goddess of wisdom in its most compre-
hensive sense. Whatever the mind
could conceive and the hand execute in
creation of the useful and the elegant
was ascribed to her. She herself was
reason incarnate in divine form.
Though the twelve gods of Olympus
claimed the worship of every Greek at

transcendent personality, overShad-

resented and of which she was the

Grated to Juno, Corinth to Venus. Ath-
ems to Athena. Inevitably each city IN
time revealed something of the attrl-
butes of the being it most worshiped.
Not a single deity of the Greek Olym-
puS has one worshiper today. But When
their existence was believed in their IN
fluence was immense. In us passionate
faith in the broad-minded Athena,
equally wise and pure, the Athenian
intellect found its original inspiration.
Therefrom it received it's first impulse
toward the beautiful in nature and art.
Thereby il was made to differ in us

queen. No other city of any age dis
putes her crown. No other flashes with
so many stars.
As we trace her checkered history
through thousands of years down from
the huts of CecropS to the resurrected
royal capital of today, always present
is the dominating consciousness OF what
the Athenian mind has been and mas
achieved. The precious contributions
of Athens to human liberty at Mara
thon and Salamis. and even that pas
sion for liberty of which those victories
were the result, seem relegated to an
inferior plane. Her adventurous mari
time and commercial daring, which
found an occasion for exploits on every
sea, is almost forgotten. Omnipresent
and overshadowing is the realization of
that wonderful classic spirit which
made nature no less than human speech
tributary in the expression of great
thoughts and truths, and thereby pre-
served them as a legacy for all time.
AS college graduates look back, each
with grateful reverence to his alma
mater so do the nations look back to
her. for in the childhood of the race
she was the teacher of mankind.
Is it difficult to realize that her bril-
liant period was of so short duration,
inasmuch as it's light is so dazzling
and shines so far. 1t continued, indeed,
for generations, for a few brief centu-
ries, yet in comparison with the long
cycles of history, it was meteoric in
its splendor. Though succeeded by other
burst of lesser radiance, its real flash
ing had ended before the Christian
era.
Why destiny is so economical of great
epochs it is impossible to tell. There
have been few since man appeared up
on the globe. None Of them have lasted
long. They have come without antici-
patton and unheralded. Not contempt
raries, but men of later times. have
recognized their intensity. Not in the
present of their existence. but in the
after future, has their full influence
been felt. So was it with that marvel
