crime committed in that section in
the past twenty years. The country is
sparsely settled, but. nevertheless, il is
rich in mineral grazing lands and timber
These are the reasons the Utahns desire

cessibie to Arizona as il is to Utah. and IL

There is a strip of country in northern

for the eastern part of Nevada on the
same grounds. that il is nearer the seat
Of Utah government than TO that OF
Nevada. If they want the strip let them
pay for Il in good, cold cash.
The Miner is disingenuous, to put the
case as mildly as possible. II is not
true that the strip in question has not
been a rendezvous Nor criminals; it is
not as accessible to Arizona as to Utah.
IF it could be reached as easily from
Arizona as from Utah there would be
no earthly reason why it should be
taken from Arizona and given to Utah.
The strip cannot be reached from
Arizona except by the aid Of flying
ing that airships are in common use in
that section of the country.
The canyon of the Colorado separates
the strip from the rest of Arizona.
This canyon, as is generally known, IS
of vast depth. No man can descend
one side Of it and ascend the other. To
go from Utah into the strip one has
only to step across an imaginary line.
The value of the ground is not suf-
ficient to warrant fight for it on that
account Very little of it can be
adapted to any human purposes ex-

TIE THIRD VERSE.

ONE OF OUR ENGLISH cousins. Sir
" Howard Vincent, a member OF
parliament, wants us to amend The
Star Spangled Banner" by striking out
the third verse. He says that verse is
extremely 'distasteful to the English
people and that its elimination would
be a strong factor in increasing the
good Will of England for America. We
had never thought of the third verse
of THE Star Spangle6 Banner" as be-
ing offensive to the English. In fact
We had never thought much about the
third verse at all.
Furthermore, we don't believe very
many Americans have thought about
1t. 1t is perfectly safe to say that not
one American in a hundred could repeat
that third verse or even give the sub
stance Of it. This reflection is based
on the fact that The Herald has re-
Gently asked at least a hundred in
telligent and patriotic Salt Lakers
about the third verse of THE Star
Spsngled Banner" and not one Of them
could repeat 1t.
Few of them, alas, could get any
further with the first verse than "Oh.
say can YOU see by the dawn's early
light" This, however. is no reflection
on their patriotism. They all know the
tune, even if they cannot remember the
words. Sir Howard made a mistake
when he brought up the matter. The
only result will be that Americans will
study THE Star Spangled Banner
more than they have ever studied. We
are going to do our part toward
familiarlzing them with the words Sir
Howard objects to, and we present
them herewith:
And where is that band which so vaunt-
ingly swOre
That the havoc Of war and the hattle'
confusion.
