and defeated the C%rumpaoker force bill.
He referred to the charges made against
him and dismissed them with a general
and flat denial. speeches In Congress
can accomplish but little, but we must
have mon with practical methods, who
AN bring relief to the Southern people.
He had been condemned for getting
this by asking, "What did you people
get before we went to Congress P" If
you did not get these you would get
nothing and revenue accrues in the treas
ury, and III 1t does not come South will
go to other sections of the Union.
When he went to Congress he eve
had been in office, but he has done some.
thing for State and people. Hemphill
and tombstone never got anything for
their State when they were there. Mr..
Latimer claimed the credit for the soil
survey now in progress in this State, all
of which Is in the interest of tho agri-
culturists.
Lawyers are not the only ones who
can benefit us In Congress. They can
make promises and fine speeches. Are
you going to turn out a farmer aud put
in one of these fellows because no can
make a speech ?" asked Mr.. Latimer.
buncOmDe speeches. count Tor but little
in Congress. Bring the Yankees down
here and induce them to invest their
money in our cotton factories and thus
build up our waste places.
Bic spoke with great confidence and
said that all the charges made against
him were absolutely false. Again he
told about the Alliance and the lawyers,
and said that he had been as true and
faithful to the Reform movement as any
one. He told of his ship subsidy speech

although 1t had the date, May 81, 1902,
printed on the back, it was published in
the Congressional Record, May 81, 1902,
clearly a typographical error, and he
also proved that on Mayer he attempted
to make the speech in the House, but
after speaking a few minutes was "called
down." and obtained permission to have
It printed. Mr.. Latimer finally declared
that he stood square on his record and
defied any man to touch it.

ONCE MORE THE BOOKS.

School Superintendent Ashton Of
Salt Lake county finds some fault with
this paper and some Of It's correspond
ents, for crucI2ing the action OF the
state school book convention, for not
having secured for Utah as good prices
on school books as some other states
obtain. Mr. Ashton admits that this
has been true IN the past. but says that
the convention has safeguarled the
matter for the future by the insertion
Of a clause In the contract with the
publishers, reserying TO Utah the right

RESTRICTION OF PATRIOTISM

The Mayor has ordered that there
shall be no use OF explosives OF any
character in any alley, backyard or
other confined place that there shall be
no discharge of cannon guns pistols,
revoNers or other firearms; that no ex-
plosiyes shall be placed on street car
tracks; that there shah be no bonflres;
that the sale Of toy firearms or explo-
sves to use in them shall not be made
to children, and that children shall not
be permitted TO use such articles.
These provisions are all wise. There
should be some other way OF celebrat-
ing the day Of days, than by endanger-
ing the limbs and lives Of the citizens.
Tut We think the influence Of parents
should be brought to bear upon the
children in tho right direction. II
there are TO be fireworks they should
be managed by experts. The discharge
Of cannon, guns, pistols and cannon
crackers by every small boy and in
any place, has become a dangerous
nuisance, with no patriotic meaning
underlying.

the report really admitted everything
that had been charged.
This attitude Of the committee pro.
longed the discussion, perhaps beyond
reasonable limits. Here Is the report
Of the committee, as given to the press
"The statement was made at the very
outset by Prof j II. Paul and others
that Utah had been paying more Tor
her books In the past than IN other
states, and the committee was appoint
ed for the purpose Of investigating the
matter The committee accordingly
telegraphed 90 various states, and made
such other Investigations az II could,
and reported yesterday. The report
showed that there was little II any
difference In the Utah price and the
price elsewhere, except in Missouri, In
diana and Kansas where the price OF
textbooks is controlled BY a state
law
supt. Ashton says that 10 the future
Utah viii get az good prices by reason
Of the clause IN the contract TO which
he refers, as these other states get; and
he challenges us to point 10 a single in
stance in which the convention has
failed to get as good prices as other
states.
II Is too early as yet 20 prove or
dlsprove this challenge, Time alone will
show whether the present clause in the
contract viii be more effective than
was a similar clause IN the contract
made five years ago.
As 10 the censure OF this paper for
not criticisng the city board as well as
the state convention, inasmuch as both
are said to have made similar con-
tracts, we may say that this censure Is
entirely misdlrected. We have receive
ed no Information to the effect that
any other cities get better terms on
books than this city gets. We did re-
ceive information that other states get
lower contract prices than this state
gets, and we brought this Information
to the notice Of the state convention
with the result az We are now in
formed, that this eyll will, In the fu.
