KINGS AND PRESIDENTS,
New York Evening sun.

King Edward, In spite of his fondness
for ceremony, his love Of playing the
stage manager of court functions, has
a strong democratic strain In him. Was
he not the close personal friend OF
Gladstone2 And is he not spoken OF
universally If familiarity, as a good
fellow? It Is announced by very re.
liable English newspaper that wher
the list Of coronation "honors" was sub.
mitted to him by Lord Salisbury, he re-
fused to distinguish between the repre-
sentatiyes of emperors and kings and
those Of republics, on the solid ground
that II was the state and not the mar
who was honored By the ribbon to stick
in his coat. AS II Is contrary to Ell.
quette for heads Of states to take part

stow stars or crosses Of certain orders

eign military and naval commanders

sprlngfleld RepublIcan.

King Edward shows his usual good
sense In refusing TO draw any social dis
tlnctions between the titles Of presi-
dent king and emperor In the
bestowal OF decorations or favors al
the coming coronation. His own consti'
tutional position Is such that both he
and his family could at any time be
driven from the throne by a simple act
of parliament. Since King William
the Dutchman, came over from Hol-
land at the Invitation Of the wings In
1888, no monarch has relgned In the
British isles by divine right The fact
Is that our American Presidents title
to his place rests upon foundation as
solid as the kings, And az representa-
tive OF state he stands as high as
any monarch in the world

SUGAR FROM CACHE.

Sugar on the Salt Lake market, man
ufactured from beets raised In Cache
Valley, Is something new under the sun.
II shows what can be done by enter
prise and determination, backed by
sufficient capital. II demonstrates, TOO.
the capabilities OF the soil In this
State, and that they are not confined
TO one particular region.
II is quite possible that the success
which has been achieved In Cache
county in this respect. could have been
attained without the investment by a
few moneyed men which has led to this
consummatlon. But even If, by co-oper-
alive effort, the masses OF the people
in that locality had started such a pro-
Ject It Is certain that there would have
been much delay In its accomplishment.
and, after ALL It would be union Of
labor and capital, on the same principle
as that which enters into all the great
improvements Of the age
The power of acquisition Of wealth
which some men possess, Is turned to a
worthy and beneficial use, when their
gains are directed into channels that
prove of great good TO labor and to the
cause OF general advancement. The
building up Of manufacturing interests
IN this state is one Of the most praise
worthy OF human activities.
The capitalists who have laid the
foundations Of the sugar industry in
Utah are entitled to the praise and the
congratulations Of our people. They
win certtnly reap their reward In
spite Of all attempts TO cripple that in
dustry, II Is flourishing and win CON
tinue to bring prosperity to tn state
and good returns to all investors. We
wish success to those whoare engaged In
the agricultural. manufacturing and
commercial branches OF the work ana
believe that It win be maintained 10
their increased advantage.

Criticism Without Point.
[From the Rnrllngton Free Pres,

tFrom the Burlington Free Press.l
Southern criticism of President Roose-
welt has lost something OF its effect. since
the fact that Booker T. Washington has
been previously entertained by various
dignitaries. including Queen Victoria. has
been noted. In his autobiography. Up
From slavery" Mr Washington tells how
on his visit to Europe with his wife in
1899 he was a guest Of the University club
in Paris and was entertained at a ban
quet which was presided over by United
States Ambassador Porter and attended
by eN-President Benjamin Harrison Arch
bishop Ireland and others. In England
Mr. and Mrs. Washington were entertain
ed by distinguished members of society,
he says:
Through the kindness of Lady Aber-
deem my wife and l We're enabled to go
with a party of those who were attend
ing the International Congress of Wom-
en-. then in session in London, to see
Queen Victoria at Windsor Castle, where
afterward We were all the guests of Her
Majesty at tea"
No attempt was made by the Southern
white to dethrone Queen Victoria in con-
sequence of her hospitality to Mr.. WASH
ington, and perhaps President Roosevelt
will be allowed to serve out his term in
the White House in spite of his friendly
relations with him.

Rural Free Delivery Dec. 2.

Postmaster Cannon has this week re-
ceived instructions to establish rural free
delivery to begin Monday, Dec. 2, with
one carrier at a salary of $500 per annum,
including horse hire. Frank IL. Mark has
been appointed carrier and Stephen n.
Searle substitute. The route in detail
was given by The Phoenix some weeks
ago. The carrier will leave about $50
and go some six miles up the Con-
necticut, then across through the VII
lagos Of Rockingham and SaXtons River
into Westminster, reaching the River
road" near the Cobb place, then north
three miles to Bellows Falls. The length
of the route is 25h miles, and the area
covered, q square miles. The number of
houses on the route, exclusive of the viii
lagos which are not served is 1O9, with
a population of 45S. The instructions
of the department require that patrons
along the route shall put up suitable
boxes within a reasonable time or the
mail will not be delivered. Postmaster
Cannon has a sample of the boxes which
the department approves, costing 81.
The carrier will have a supply of
hostage stamps. postal cards, stamped en-
velopes, and blank applications for money
orders. The carrier is prohibited from
engaging in any business which will in
terfere with the perfect and prompt dis
charge of his duties He may act as
news agent, sell papers and take sub
scrptions The instructions are not in
tended to prohibit the carrier from per-
forming private commissions on his own
account so long as his regular work is
performed in a satisfactory manner and
time. The department will furnish
stamped envelopes with special return re-
quest for rural route No. 1. The postage
on drop letters" along the route is es-
tabllshed the same as in villages and
cities where free delivery has been es-
tablished, two cents. The carrier is to
have a stamp for cancelling these with
out bringing them to the main office,
where they can be delivered before reach
ing that office. Postmaster Cannon is
held as strictly responsible for compli-
ance with the rules by the rural carriers
as by the village carriers.

A Point Well Made.

LFrom the Randolph Herald and News. I
In his speech at the Fish and Game
banquet, Theodore Roosevelt brought out
strongly the essentially democratic ma
ture of the laws for the protection of fish
and game. He said 1t was not commonly
understood in that light, but it was
nevertheless a fact, that were It not for
these laws the masses would soon be
unable to find sport for their rod and
gun. Unrestrained by laws, the habltual
hunter and fisherman would sweep away
the denizens of the forest and brook.
Then 1t would be only the wealthy who
are able TO build and maintain private
preserves who would enjoy hunting and
fishing. The poorer citizen would be de-
MED the privilege altogether There is n
good deal of meat in this thought.
