COMMENCEMENT TIME.

The grandeur, the glory of the public
schoolsl Surely Utah has Just cause
for pride in them The parents and
patrons who witnessed the splendid
spectacle that was presented In the
Salt Lake Theater last night and In
the Granite Stake Tabernacle yester-
day, received ocular proof OF the
strongest character OF the mighty for
ward strides that are being made In
the education cf the youth Of this city
and country. and as a matter Of fact,
OF the progress that Is being recorded
over the entire state; for the high
standard that prevails In the capital,
obtains In marked degree elsewhere
within the domains Of our steadily
growing commonwealth, The people OF
Utah believe in education, They have
done so from Pioneer times, when the
first great struggle was FOR existence
They must ever do so. with them the
requirement OF knowledge Is an earnest
Of after life. 1t is no chld's play.
Graduating time Is about as serious
an epoch In the life OF the youth as
any. II may not seem So when viewed
from the standpoint attained twenty
years after, but at the time n certain
Iy carries with it the lndehnable sehsa'
ton Of steering into misty future,
not knowing what ships may suddenly
loom up ahead. what rocks may be
hidden in the course chosen, or what
direction the currents may take, To
many It means saying farewell 90 the
Joyful life Of student the companion
ship OF scholars and teachers, and the
entrance upon the battlefield Of life,
where victories may be won, but where
wounds and death may come, too, Life
Is serious, 10 all but fools, and the
point at which its course is set for
both time and eternity Is important in
deed,
Fortunately, no one needs to set out
on llfe's Journey without a safe guide.
No one who will follow this guide needs
to fear defeat, The world is full Of les
sons as We 80 along. The boy or girl,
who is open to instruction win see
these. Even the numerous wrecks
along the shores OF life are instructive,
for they tell the travellers what to
avoid. so as TO proceed in safety.
But history has still more valuable
Instructions for both girls and boys,
1t tells us that the great instruments
Of the worlds Advancement have had
mothers to whose loving hearts and
gentle hands they owe their character.
And thus It points 10 a pure home and
ideal motherhood, as the greatest
achievement Of the girl, IT teaches al
so that the great men OF an ages have
from the early youth devoted them
selves 20 the service OF the Almighty,
IT Is not true that II IS good or neces-
sary, 10 SOW wild oats first Precious
time is lost. Wounds are received, the
scars Of which will never perfectly heal
TO men like Moses, Joseph Daniel, Lu-
Their, Wesley Joseph the Prophet, and
others the world Is indebted for lis pro-
gresa But they all devoted their youth
TO the service Of mankind. That Ia an

SHORT WEIGHT DEALERS.

II is a good work IN which the scaler
OF weights and measures, Mr.. II. T..
Richards, is engaged The work is
that OF making dealers whether sta
tiorary or iunerant. comply with the
requirements Of the law In the matter
Of weights and measures, His In.
vestigauons show that about seventy.
five per cent Of the dealers are using
short weights and measures. This
means that seventy-fiye per cent OF the
dealers are plundering the public Some
Of the dealers say that they did not
know their weights and measures we're

ments OF the law. That may be- but

with, he should give 40 more warnings
but proceed TO the enforcement OF the
law through the courts.
When there have been a few such
cases, all the dealers win take notice
and heed thereof and govern themselves
accordingly. Even then It will be well
to visit them at frequent intervals,

JUDGE MAY DECIDE DISPUTE.
Cancellation Board Determines to Place Con-
:-nv.-sv Before Chairman.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, (SpeciaD.-At a
meeting of the anthracite board OF
Cancellation held here at the request OF
the miners, the operators presented a
plan for the settlement of the check
weighmen and check docking boss
questions which have caused so much
trouble in the upper coal fields.
The operators ask that the entire
controversy be submitted to Judge
George Gray, the chairman OF the
anthracite strike commission, his de-
cision to be final and binding. The
miners asked for time to consider the
proposition and action was deferred
until the next meeting of the board,
which will be hell here on August ~
In view of the fact that Presldent
Nichols of District No. I, U. M. w;
of A.. in a public statement, proposed
that Judge Gray or the entire striKe
commission be asked to settle the
question, it is quite likely that inc
whole matter will eventually be SUD-
mitted to Judge Gray: $780,, &
The grievance of the employees OF
Coke Bros. & Co., of the Middle Coal
Fields was also taken up by the board
The men claim that several OF tneir
number were discharged for loading
coal above certain size, when they
had never received notice not to DO
so. :, , 4,
The matter was temporarily settled
bv resolution, presented by the oper-
ators, beng adopted to the effect that
the suspended employees be relnstat-
ed Immediately and, as a compen-
sation for their loss, to allow them
20 per cent. of their average earnings
from tht date of the grievence, the
earnings of the month previous to
their suspension to be the basis OF the
calculation.
It was also recommended that a
compromise concerning the size OF
coal to be loaded be effected by joint
consultation between the men and
officials of the company.

CONSIDERED AN INSULT
Ba'tls.h'p Squadron Ordered to Smyrna
Until Our Claims Get Recognition.
MINlSTERLEISHMAN'S EFFORTS FUTILE.
The Radical Action Taken by the United
States 10 Ordering a Naval Demonstration
Against Turkey Was, II Is Understood, D.
termlned at a Conference Between the Presi'
dent and Several Members Of the Cabinet.

Washington, d. c., (SpeciaD.-Act-
ing on the request of the state de-
partment, the secretary OF the navy
has ordered Rear Admiral Jewell,
commanding the European squadron
Immediately to proceed with his Meet
to Smyrna. This action, it is admit
ted in official circles, means that a
naval demonstration is to be mace
against Turkey.
The orders were cabled to Rear Ad-
miral Jewell at Nice. His ships are
the Olympia, Baltimore and CieVe-
land.
SMYRNA was selected because: it at
forded direct cable communication
with Washington and is only about
400 miles distant from Constantlnople'
The trip probably will be. made III
three davs and when he arrives there
Admiral Jewell will put himself IN
communication with Minister Leish-
man and also report to Washington
Act Follows Delberauon'
This action was taken by direction
Of the President after deliberate con-
sultation with his Cabinet officers,
and is the result of Turkeys diiatory
tactics in landing several important
matters presented by Minister Lelsh-
man. Among these were:
Claims for damages to American
citizens in the Ottoman Empire.
A demand that American physicians
and dentists be allowed to practice
their professions in Turkey on the
same basis as other foreigners.
A protest because of the discrim-
nation against American schools IN
that country in favor of institutions
managed by Europeans.
Evasion Tantamount to Insult.
The state department considers the
recent evasion of its promises by the
Porte as almost tantamount to an IN
suit. For nearly a year Minister
Leishman had sought an interview
with the Sultan, in order to present
the matters referred to. Finally, alter
many postponements from time to
time, upon various pretexts,. the Sui
tan received our representative.
AS forcibly as permitted by the cir
cumstances Minister Leishman con-
viewed to the Sultan the instructions
he had received from Secretary Hay
and asked for an early answer. ne
was promised that the answer would
be communicated to him by the, for
eign Office on Tuesday. When that
day arrived he was told that he would
have to wait until Thursday. The
latter day having passed without hear
ing from the Porte, Minister Lelsh-
man so informed the state depart
ment
1t is understood that when the mat
ter was brought before the cabinet
the members agreed unanimously with
| Secretary Hay that something should
be done to show the Turkish gov/fn-
ment the dspleasure of this govern
ment Accordingly it was agreed that
Rear Admiral Jewell should proceed
forthwith to Turkish waters and re-
main there until the claims and de-
mands of the United States should re-
ceiye recognition.
