There is not much likelihood that the
campaign of 1904 will be such a dis
graceful affair as that of 1902. The
people were made sick of York state
political methods two years ago and
are in no hurry to return to them. Yet,
so stubborn is political partisanship in
the heat aud excitement of the contest
and so blind to everything but its own
immediate objects, that the newspaper
that stood forth in its place and de-
cried all that shameless corruption and
debauchery in 1902 was execrated by
the fesh-pot politicians as a traitor to
the Republican party.

Messenger, the paper owned by Ed

BURLINGTON
AND MIDLAND.

The Burlington Colorado Midland
merger story has fairly started on the
rounds Of the press. Despite the fact
that some of the leading railroad papers
OF the country are beginning to air the
rumor the best solution OF the alleged
deal Is that furnished by local traffic
man I'm course OF conversation this
morning;
This story Is not such hot air after
all when you come TO look at IT," he
declared, while can hardly believe
that Hartman, Hin and Hawley have
taken off their coats for fight, because
big systems have grown out OF that
habit, nevertheless II Is not at all inn
probable that the Burlington and the
Midland have Joined hands. The Co
dorado Midland is supposed to be joint
ly owned by the Gould and Hawley
interests. Gould has been virtually
shutting out the Midland for some time,
but he realizes that Hawley viii want
a division sooner or later. Now comes
the chance. Hin and Hawley are both
camping on Harrlman's trail, and so
IA Could 1t would hurt Hartman II
the Burlington came west OF Denver.
Gould sees that the Moffat road is COM
ing anyhow, so making the best Of a
bad bargain he lets go Of the Midland
to the Burlington and Hawley inter-
ests with the haul west OF Grand juno
tlon coming to the Rio Grande Western
still. 1t Is not such bad deal after
all, especially az II may have the effect
OF heading off the building Of the Mof-
fat road, in which there Is now a strong
suspicion that Hartman is IN some
manner interested. There Is always
fire where there Is smoke, and there are
surely some very mysterious moves be-
Ing made right now in eastern Utah
that will bear Watching"

HON. JOHN HENRY SMITH,
Commends Speech of Powers and
PAYS Tribute to the Pioneers.

Hon. John Henry Smith was the next
speaker After commenting the words
OF Judge Powers, the speaker paid
glowing tribute to the Pioneers who, 81
years ago, completed their long journey
across the plains. Said the speaker,
mo finer body Of men and women eyer
penetrated the desert waste than these
Pioneers were, They came here to wor-
ship God unmolested, They came here
to build up the country When we
think Of their achievements we cannot
but say marvellous They were lnstru-
mental in building up not alone this
commonwealth, but before that had
lent their efforts to the building Of some
Of the best states IN the American UNI
ion They have been censured because
of the stand they took against the open
ing Of the mines. but when we consider
that they were dependent upon the pro-
duets Of the soil with which TO subsist
upon. there con be no question as to the
wisdom Of the course pursued"
The speaker expressed the hope that
those who had descended from the Pio-
neers would see 10 II that their honor
and integrity are ever sustained. LIB
erty said he, should be the watchword
liberty Of thought. speech and action.
lie trusted that the emblem planted on
yon hill (pointing to the northeasD
would never be lowered by a son Of
Utah.
Elder Smith said that the people Of
this state should have love OF God
and country burning In their hearts
continually They should be patriots
Of the first degree. They Aad descend
cd from a band OF noble, Godfearing
men and women, sons and daughters Of
Pioneers, many Of whom had fought
and died for their country. AS an Ann
erlcan citizen he extended greeting to
all present and hoped that liberty and
freedom would continue TO prevail. not
only in this state but throughout the
nnfiOn.

VIVID REMINDER
OF PIONEER DAYS
CONTINUED from page -

my friends, we should allow that we all
are nelghbors. Let us not forget that
we are all citizens OF the state of Titan.
and that Utah Is one Of the i5 states OF
this nation. Remember that which,
ever party wins, the nation sim lives,
the earth still reyolves upon its axis,
the sun stlll shines and the rains falleth
upon the just and the unjust The
pioneers had 20 make their state. We
must preserve IL. In 1871 Winter
Quarters was the frontier In 1904,
there is no frontier. In frozen Alaska,
the people are building homes. on the
torrid sands Of Arizona the people are
building homes. The frontier has been
obliterated. our great work is to make
the most OF what we have. Solve the
great irrigation problem and fill these
vallies still fuller than they are today.
Go out and find the millions of wealth
yet undiscovered We know not what
the future has in store, but the prob
lens we have now we should meet as
the pioneers met theirs. The surface Of
the state Of Utah has not as yet been
scratched, but 1t is ready TO yield Won
ders to the ingenuity Of man.
And teach our children the love OF
home, the love OF state, the love Of the
Union. My friends, | rejoice In paying
my tribute to the pioneers Of Utah, |
am one who so strongly believes In an
oyer-ruling providence, | am one who
50 strongly believes that God looks over
all His people that l can see Utah a
land OF peace and prosperity forever a
state of which not only we are proud,
but state that will become the pride
OF the nation
Peace, peace to Utah, Peace to the
dead who have gone before. Peace 10
the pioneers of Utah and all her people
