A PEACEFUL REVOLUTION.

As near as can be judged from
distance. the meeting Of the zemstvos
representatives In st. Petersburg
marks the beginning Of new era for
Russia. This viii certainly be the
case, II the recommendations adopted
by this gathering obtain government
sanction And this does not appear
impossible For the meeting would
not have been called, had not the Car
intended to encourage a movement for
reform
At the preliminary gathering Of the
Zemstyos a program was agreed on.
This is very liberal 1t declares that
the abnormal conditions IN Russia
are due to complete enlargement Of
government and people and the alb
sence OF the mutual confidence so nee
essary to national life. 1t demands i'm
partial administration Of justice, and
says that for the unrestricted express
sion Of public opinion and the free ex-
position and satisfaction of popular
needs, It Is essential to guarantee free
dom OF conscience and speech and OF
the press and also freedom OF meeting
and association. 1t, finally demands
national representation. and n legls-

pared to grant these demands, the
country will at once be placed among

DANGER OF CLASS HATRED

President Roosevelt In introducing
Mr. Wagner author Of 1.-THE Simple
Life to an audience at Washington,
said mfny good things, as he always
does, when addressing the public One
Of these contains warning against
placing class interests before the inter-
ests OF the people What he said on
this point can be addressed to certain
Don Quxotes not far away who never
are happy unless they are engaged in
assaults upon imaginary enemies, He
said, In part
mo republic can permanently exist
when II bec0mesfa republic OF classes
where the man feels not the interest OF
the whole people, but the Interest Of
the particular class to which he belongs
or fsnces that he belongs, as being OF
prime Importance. In antiquity repub-
lies failed az they dld because they
tended to become either a republic OF
the few who exploited the many or a
republic Of the many who pundered
the few, and IN either case the end OF
the republic was never In doubt, just
so IN one case az In the other and no
more 50 in one than In the other We
can keep this republic true to the
principles OF those who founded and OF
those who af:erward preserved II; we
can keep II republic only by remem-
berlng that we must live up TO the
theory OF It's founders, TO the theory OF
treating each man on his worth as
man. neither holding II for or against
him that he occupies any particular
station In life, so long as he does his
duty fairly well by his fellows and by
the nation as a whole"

NOW FOR THE SCHOOLS,

The anti Mormon organ continues
It's peculiar warfare upon the best IN
terests Of Utah. Some time ago Il
mournfuly regretted the lack Of moral
courage" to assist in administering a
body blow to the Church, and almost
Ia the same breath protested lbs limo
ctnco as TO any hostile designs upon
the religious denomination TO which
80 many prominent and excellent clu-
zens OF Utah belong Then 1t cried
out with a loud voice against church
influence" Coz the transparent purpose
OF creating factions among citizens,
nelghhors and friends aud causing strife
aud contention where unity OF purpose,
good win and confidence ought to pre-
Vail, I'm the interest Of all And while
pursuing this sneaklng course, Il re-
peatedly denied that any attack had
been made upon the Church IL was
necessary, We presume, IN order TO re-
lain the decent portion Of the new
party IN The ranks, to juggle with the
facts and keep them mystihed Now
the attack 90 made upon the schools,
also under the cover OF falsehood
It is alleged that the schools are suf-
ferlng under Mormon control and
must be rescued. but as there Is no
such control now aud as none Il aimed
at, the only possible conclusion is that
the assault Is upon the schools them
selves. To throw them into the vortex
Of partisan, politics would certainly be
a body blow to the schools
It is not true that anyone here con-
tends for Mormon control Of the
schools. What we maintain IS that
neither religion, nor politics should be
made a test Tor positions connected
with the education Of the children, be-
cause that is a matter IN which all citl-
zens are equally Interested The only
qualifications. we hold, are expert
ence and ability to perform the labor
that IS needed 10 sustain our schools
among the foremost in The country
This must be kept In view For Utah
will not take a back seat IN Intellectual
assemblies as would almost certainly
be the case were the schools 20 be
given away by political bosses, as tips

Fortunately, the scheme is laid bare

by the very best Of sentiments 10 has

The influence Of American friendship

progress Of any country
some fear was once entertained that
the erection Of The statue OF the Prus-
sian king IN this country, was an effort
to bud German culture on American
institutions, But tho sentiment Of Ger
mans IN this country Is so thoroughly
American as to preclude any danger OF
such an attempt. were there any danger
connected with It. That sentiment Is
well voiced In the following commu-
nlcat0n to the New York Evening
Post, By German Amerlcan
There Is no room IN this country
FOR statues Of kings or emporOrs may

set by the slowness with which he rec
ognlzed American independence While
Frederick no doubt admired washing

William desires 10 present TO The United
States a statue OF an illustrious Ger
man, let II be- Steuhen or Herklmert
These would be the statutes which AM

THANKSGIVING.

u Is beautiful custom that has
set apart one day Of the year for special
thanksgiving and prayers, and It Is ono
that shows tho sentiments by which the
builders Of this Republic were animat-
ed. and the religious foundations upon
which they reared the marvellous struc-
ture For the day was first observed
by the New England Puritans and
their example was followed 10 other
sections Of the country as the popu'
latlon expanded. and finally It came to
be national holiday, By force Of GUS
tom, without statutory enactment
II Is probable that the idea was sug-
gested to the Now England colonIsts by
the Hebrew holiday known as the
feast OF tabernacles" or feast OF IN
gathering This was observed at the
end Of the year. as The Passover was In
the beginning. and II was commemora-
tive Of the divine blessings received by
the people while In the wilderness, It
was to the Jews season Of Joy, and
good VIII to all men.
The need Of some similar expression
Of appreciation OF the bounieous gifts
Of Providence made itself felt among
the Pilgrim Fathers. In 1923 they SUI
fered from drouth and appointed a day
Of prayer, Rain came while they were
stlll praying, and the governor pro-
claimed q day OF thanksgiving. From
that time on days OF thanksgiving be-
came the custom throughout all the
colonies whenever the people wished TO
acknowledge any special blessing Dur
Ing the Revolutionary war day Of
thanksgiving was annually recommend
ed by the Continental congress, and
Washington and his successors ocoa-
sionally issued special proclamations
calling upon the people TO make ao-
Acknowledgement in a public manner to
the Creator for some peculiar mercy
Az the time OF the civil war PRESIDENT
Lincoln sent out thanksgiving procla.
nations regularly and since that time
such proclamations have been issued
annually
Every day brings new tokens Of d.
vine mercy, both to individuals and to
the nation, II Is but right that these
should be acknowledged, and that our
hearts should be opened TO fellow-be.
Iugs True JOY is not possible. except
as we are freed from seishness hatred,
enmlty, and similar feelings, and are
endeayorlng TO spread around us happi-
ness and good fellowship. That is one
OF the Thanksgiving lessons that Is re,
peated with the recurrence Of the day.

THE GERMAN STATUE.


The statue Of Frederick the Great,
presented by Emperor Wilhelm OF Ger
many. 20 this country has been un-
yelled. II is accepted as a token OF
friendship Of a great ruler for q great
Republic. Frederick. 1t Is pointed out,
by the Kaiser himself maintained a
friendly attitude towards the young
American republic during the course
Of her formation. thereby laying the
cornerstone Of the friendly relations
which have always existed between
our two countries" And the idea Of
placing the monument here was sug-
gested by "the splendid and cordial
reception OF my brother. Prince Henry.

WILL PLANT FRUIT TREES.
Farmers in Missouri River Counties
Realize Value of Trees.

hS0'& e~
Apple, plum and other fruit trees by
the thousand will be planted in Hand
and the counties bordering on the
Missouri river by the farmers and
t~ownspeople who have at last become
convinced that they can just as we'll
raise their w apples, etc, as to ship
them in from distant points. Now in
this locality an occasional person sup
plies a neighbor with homegrown ap-
Piles, plums and cherries of a fine quail
ity. This convincing argument sets
the recipient and all who hear of it to
thinking, and at once they declare
that they will plant an orchard. Most
likely within the next ten years This
section will be shipping apples out.
OF another thing many have become
aware-that of raising their own
wood. The cottonwood tree seems to
be a native on the prairies here.
Planted on cultivated fields and the
weeds kept down it grows to large
size in FIVE or six years.
There are certain poplars that seem
to be we'll adapted to the prairies that
grow even more rapidly than the cot
tonwood. The farmers will soon plant
these quick-growing trees in numbers
sufficient to grow their own wood.
There are a few pioneer settlers who
are profting in this line from groves
planted years ago.

LIKE WISCONSIN CASE.
Split in Republican Party In Rob-
erts County Is Brought to
Sunreme Court,

The supreme court has granted an
order to show cause, returnable Sept.
7, in an election contest case from
Roberts county which is similar to the
contest in Wisconsin.
Before the Republican state con-
vention the two factions of the Repub-
Iican party in Roberts county headed
by j. c. Perkins, candidate for secre-
tary of the state, and by David East
man, leader of the Crawford forces in
that county, became so warn in their
contest for the control of the county
that down the date of convention
came two separate conventions were
1eld, and two delegations and two tick
cts selected
1t was claimed that the Crawford
followers refused to go into conven-
ton when they found they were in the
minority, and went to another place
than the one at which the convention
was called to meet, and nominated
heir ticket, while the majority OF the
delegates were nominating their tick
ct at the place where the convention
was regularly called. The W fac
tons carried their case before the
state convention, and the Perkins del
agatiOn was seated.
Since that time the county auditor
If Roberts county has refused to place
the ticket nominated by the Perkins
faction on the ballot as the regular
Republican ticket, and it is alleged in
the application that he has declared
his intention of placing the nominees
Of the minority convention on the bal
lot as the regular" On this claim
the application has been made to the
supreme court, and it will have a
hearing early next month.
