MR.. BOOTH.TUCKER'S PLAN,

We have previously referred. in
these columns, to the colonization
scheme Of MIR Booth-Tucker, who will
no heard In this city on Sunday night.
His idea Is that Congress should create
a colonization bureau with authority to
advance loans to bona dde settlers, lie
firmly believes that the remedy for
many social evils Is n removal Of the
surplus population Of great cities to
the land, Many others have expressed
similar Views.
According to the bin which Mr. Tuck.
or has caused to be drafted, and which
Senator Hoar has introduced, the
Bureau OF Colonization is to provide
for the selection, organization and pre-.
pOration Of duly qualified persons to
settle uuon and enter under the home.

served, IN appropriate quantity, by or

colonization purposes; and to designate,

forming TO the public land subdivisions
OF not less than ten nor more than

THE LEASING OF sALTAIR.

llshment Of rigid rules as to the man.

beach and the railroad to responsible,
reputable and capable control, the prop.

III PORT ARTHUR FALLS.

AS near as can be- made out from
the scanty war news the Japanese are
perslstently directing their efforts
against Port. Arthur. In all proba-
bility success there would mean a
81 eedy end Of the war. The fall OF that
Russian stronghold would be almost
fetal blow to Russian prestige In east
ern Asia. That Is the view expressed
by Il, j. Dillon in Contemporary Re-

Arthur does not mean much to Russia,
territorldlly considered, yet the effect
Of It's fall would be what the fail OF

THE PLAIN TRUTH.

The st. Paul Globe Of recent date has
a long and well written special from
this city, from which we make below Il
brief extract. There are many inter-
esting paragraphs in It that we do not
care to copy, as they are quite personal
and their repetition In this paper might
be mlsconstrued The statement In It
concerning the general, "tacit under
standing" as expressed by President
Smith which certain individuals here
pretended 10, be angry at, will be rec
ognlzed as a well known fact, and the
hypocrisy Of It's denial will be patent TO
every well-informed resident Of Utah,

President Joseph +, Smith, however

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP.
New York World.

The tremendous majority by which
the people Of Chicago have Endorsed
the principle of municipal ownership OF
street railroads Is not a cool verdict up
on the comparative merits OF public and
private enterprise, Ii ls a revolt
against intolerable corporate abuses.
The street railroad companies of Chi
cago for years kept the city In a state
OF siege. The citizens slept with arms
In their hands, ready to jump up at the
sound OF the alarm bell and hurry to
Springfield TO head of legislative raids
upon their streets, or invade the City
Hall with rope haters TO scare council
men out Of schemes Of robbery. At last
they have said: I'VE will NOT maintain
an enemy within our gates any longer

on by the general public with much

highly Of the appolntee as a good law.

honorable man. The same might be
truthfully said Of other candidates for
the position, but whose claims II is now
useless TO urge. Only one could obtain
the place. and the others will have TO

Governor has made a good choice, and
II appears to be satisfactory to the ma
jorlty Of the public as Well as to the
numerous friends of Mr.. Smith. We
congratulate him on his appointment,
and hope and believe that the antlcipa-
