Peace Conference, called by the
Gear to meet at the Hague this
week will not result In an inter.

The conference will have &C.

gratifying achievement Of the
century should it bring about an
understanding among the great
Powers that further armament
shall cease-this indeed, being
the purpose for which II is called,
and the most that 10 hoped for 1t.
Such q result will be hailed with
the profoundest gratitude by oil
thoughtful persons the world
over, and 1t would not be difhcult
for optimists to see in this step Q
reasonably sure promise Of con.

upon the highest civilization.
1t would also be q matter for
universal satisfaction should the
United States and Great Britain,
the two most powerful nations on
earth, be found working together

In spots, in blocks, in wavy lines,

Ia yellow, ecru, purple, too,

We love 'em, oh. we love 'em, for

SAYS LEAVE UTAH ALONE.

The New York Times yesterday
published three column article
in which Congressman Brigham
Roberts discusses the efforts being
made to exclude him from the
house of representatives. After
citing numerous alleged falsehoods
circulated about him, and arguing
that no one in Utah believes in po-
lygamous marriages now further
than to provide for the families
the result of plural marriages en-
tered into under the sanction of
the church and of the laws of
Utah, he closes bis article with the
following paragraph;
"In this city where | am writing
the city of Helen Gould-and |
mention that lady's name with the
profoundest respect and admira-
tion for her good works, her wo-
manly charity and withal her broad
mindedness, and only regret that
she has been misled in relation to
the conditions claimed to exist in
Utah-but here in the city of her
home, within any thousand feet
square, may be found more that
menaces the American home than
ever existed or, / hope, ever will
exist, in the whole of Utah. And.
knowing this, it looks just little
ridiculous to see well-meaning re-
formers so far misled by misrep-
resentations of Utah affairs as to
be found standing knee deep in
the swamp of social evils about
them vainly trying to tip-toe them
selves into position where they
can peek over the rugged SUBMITS
of the Rocky mountains to find
more desperate menace to the
American home. Leave Utah
alone. She is able, and will work
out her own salvation, if, indeed,
she is not already as far along that
road as any other state in the
Union"

A HARD-LUCK EDITOR.

Here is a wall from Editor Krall
of the Louisville Sun, up in the
northern part of the state, that
shows plainly that he is man of
sorrows and acquainted with grief. "
He ought to shut up shop and
shake the dust of Louisville from
his feet, for verify it will be more
tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah
in the last day than for a town
that will treat a newspaper like
that. This is the way Editor Krall
explains the situation:
"Our standing ads in this paper
this week amount to less than one
dollar, and local, all told, less than
Sl.75 for the weeks work. Now,
can anyone tell us how much we
will have for our weeks work after
paying for our paper, plate, rent,
ink, oil and other expenses? And
yet there are some wretched NOR
tails who will take a paper year af-
ter year and never think of paying
a cent for it, and even lie TO get
out of paying their honest debts
to the printer, May God have
mercy on such miserable beings
and deliver them from hades
LATER: Since the above was put
iu type, and just as we were ready
for press, a couple more small ads of
our merchants came in, thus rails
ing the amount little more. And
we believe their prices are below
Denver prices on the general line"

Religion Is altogether a matter of
faith; a matter in which the feelings
are involved, but with which the intel
leet has nothing to do.-Rev. S. w.
Reigart.
The mysteries we are called upon to
accept in our belief in Christ are not
greater than those confronting the
naturalist in the ordinary phenomena
of life.-Dr G. II. Combs.
The happiness or misery OF soul
will depend upon the relation OF its
environment in the spiritual world. A
soul that loves God will be happy any
where.-Rev. DIR. e H. Ward
Without character culture is white

ter is the only solid basis for racial
development. Races possess charac-
ters just as individuais.-Rev. II. H.
Proctor.
There is plan in every mans life.
and that plan was made by our heav-
enly Father. The highest wisdom
one can show is to wait patiently the
unfolding of that plan.-Rev. w. L.

The supreme court yesterday
handed down an opinion in min
ing suit by which that tribunal re-
verses itself in the esta blished pre-.
cedents on cross claims. The case
of Branagan against Dulaney, Sth
Colorado Statutes, page 40S, has
stood for years as an important de-
cision upon which controversies
between senior and junior loca-
tions have rested. According to
the opinion, this decision has been
looked upon us erroneous by the
best jurists, and the court now
takes backward step and admits
its error. Judge Gabbert wrote
the opinion, which is between TO-
900 and 1900 words in length,

WHAT is the matter with the
labor market? It's manifestly
short A year or two since it was
lamentably long. There are thous-

find it at any wage. Now every
channel of industry is crying out
for more men. Nearly every sec
tion of the mountains needs miners.
The populations of Denver, Colo
RADIO Springs, Cripple Greek
Pueblo and Leadville are increas-
ing more rapidly than atany former

does not come in corresponding
ratio to the other classes. Capital
is coming by millions, permanent
settlers by thousands. but working
men in the east seem to find salts
