Z HOMER. PATRIOT.

y Homer. patriot. has begun an
Ctner suit to block the ar-uisit1oa cf
Big Cottonwood water by the city.
Patriot H1mer's complains alleges
that certain members OF the efty cOun-
Gil who voted for the agr cement by
which the city is TO secure the water
are members of the MormC1 church
and as sucn viii profit bv the eight
year extension of the power compauv's
franchise; that therefore. they are
barred by law from voting on the
question and the agreement is conse-
quently void.
Leaving the legal questions to the
Reorganization of the courts, does M
Homer's attitude entitle him to be
classed with G. Washington, 7. Jeffer-
son and other patriots as an enthus-
iastie suburban contemporary de-
clares?
\ patriot is one who loves his coun-
try and works constantly for it's we'll
fare. T. Homer doubtless loves his
country-eyery American does that
Possibly, too. he loves his city, though
he has a queer way OF showing il. But
We question whether he has any notion
OF working constantly for its welfare
as a genuinely patriotic citizen should;
and these are grounds for the doubt:
II by any misfortune T. Homer,
patriot, should succeed in his suit, the
city could not by any possibility get
the Big Cottonwood water in time for
use next year. Every citizen knows
what that means.
The Utah Light & Railway company
would be relieved OF any obligation to
give a four-cent car fare or to main
tain its lower rates for electric light
ing, At the same time, the light and
railway company would be free to
operate under existing franchises for
over forty years longer.
For at least a decade Salt Lake has
suffered annually for lack of water
i'm the summer. Not until now has
there been any prospect of getting
permanent relief. With The Big Cot
tonwood supply turned into the mains
and with the other plans under way
the city would have a supply Of pure
water sufficient for a population of
100000. without this water. the city
must drag along for at least two years
more. probably longer. suffering
financially and commercially; crippled
in its growth, and paying interest or
money which it cannot apply to the
Improvements for which it was Dor
rowed.
And II this happens, as a Wiz If the
suit is successful, who viii be RESPONSE
BILE?
Why, II. Homer. patriot, will be
responsible.

cUMMlNs VS.. SHAW.

Governor Cummins OF Iowa and
Secretary Of the Treasury Shay are
engaged IN a heated newspaper con-
troversy over the question as TO
whether or not the secretary said the
reason the French reciprocity treaty
was rejected was that it gave the
French everything and the United
States nothing. The matter seems TO
have resolved itself into d question of
veracity.
Secretary Shaw denies that he said
ANYTHING OF the kind. Governor Cum
Minis retorts with a quotation from one
of the secretary's newspaper organs in
which the editor, who heard the secre-
ta-ry speak, ccmmends him for saying
what he now says he didn't say. Up
20 date the governor has rather the
better OF the argument. but the secre-
tary may come back with some hot
shot at any moment.
The country, of course. is wildly in
terested in the matter We fancy that
it is being discussed at every cross
roads grocery store in Iowa and I'm
every other state OF the unioA. Moth
ers are talking about it TO their chill
dren, fathers are arguing it over with
their sons, friends of life long stand
ing are falling out about 1t, brother is
being set against brother, husband
against wife. maiden against lover.
For our own part We must decline TO
take sides with either disputant until
We are more thoroughly familiar with
the merits of the controversy The
question is one that cannot be settled
offhand. II Secretary Shaw really did
make that remark about the treaty
some awful punishment should be
measured out to him IL Governor
Culnmins is accusing the secretary
wrongfuIIy the nation should rise in
revolt against him.
We advise our readers TO withhold
their judgment. pending the arrival OF
further details. In the meanwhile il
might be good idea for President
Roosevelt TO sound the wsIriors-the
Russo-JaDanese affair being off his
hands-With a view TO ascertaining
whether or not they cannot be brought
TO an honorable peace. 1t rs greatly
to be feared, however. that even the
presidents notable power as a peace
maker VIII hardly be equal To this
task.

TRYING FOR RECORDS.

The newspapers recently have an
nounced many attempts. and as many
failures. to swim the English channel.
Thirty years ago Captain Webb sue
cessfuIly ploughed the waters from
Dover to Brest. Nobody has ever
equalled his record, though scores
have tried. Thirty years is a long time
for any sort of record to stand in these
times of record making and record
breaking, but it looks now as IL Cap
tain Webb's feat would not soon De
duplicated.
The world will be no better off il
dozen people swim the English channel
every year No useful purpose was
served when Captain Webb accom-
plished the feat, unless the diversion
OF the thoughts OF some athletes into
harmless channels can be called uss-
full. Some people are possessed with
mania for doing the seemingly I'M
possible things. They hear that a
mountain presents almost fnsuperable
obstacles and straightway they set out
TO climb that mountain. More often
than not they lose their lives, but some
fool finally wins the summit and chen
year after year other fools try and
lose.
This year many lives have been lost
in the Alps because their owners
thought they could do what other
harebrained individuals had dom.
And so IL goes in many other absurd
performances. A man goes through
the Niagara rapids in barrel and
straightway -he water is all cIut.eled
up with fools in barrels: a cranx
jumps off the Brooklyn bridge and
gets a place in a dime museum where
fools may cape at him, and presently
the supply Of bridge Jumpers is far
beyond the demand, TO say nothing of
the graves filed by the unsucccssful.
A bicyclist goes about the country
Looping the loop. He has heard that
1t is the most dangerous thing he can
do, and because il is a dangerous par
Torrance hundreds of people flock 10
see it. So he goes on until he is
killed, but there is always another fool
waiting 10 take his place. there is no
real courage in such acts FoAnsrIj-
ness is not bravery.
If il could be shown that the r.
dividual who takes desperate chances
Of this sort does even 1.-THE OF good

PEACE.

Least considered but most potent
factors in the bitter war that came
10 an end with the agreement of the
peace ENJOYS at Portsmouth yester-
day. the mothers Of Russia and of
Japan must last night have poured
out their hearts in thanksgiving. In
different tongues, to different gods
they took their thank offerings, but in
the land of chrysanthemu-1 and of
steppe, in the home Of peasant and of
prince, the tenor OF the sentence was
the same:
THANK God, my boy is coming
home"
Many there are whose boys will
never cbme home In the ensanguined
soil of Manchuria, in the shifting cur
rents of the sea, in graves unmarked
and unmarkabIe lie buried the hopes of
brown mothers and white. Dazed
with their heart agony, peace holds no
hope for these mothers For them
there is no comfort on the finite border
of the dark river But even these
mothers viii find a passing relief in
the thought that other mothers VIII
not be called upon to share their
burden OF sorrow.
Statesmen in Japan will say their
ENJOYS conceded too much to a beaten
foe; newspapers in japan viii point
out that this or that should have been
exaeted from the Russian commits
sioners; Russian statesmen VIII de-
clare that all Sakhaliu should have
been returned. that Japan was given
too much IN Ma.nehuria, too much in
Korea. but the mothers of Japan and
OF Russia will breathe a prayer of
thankfuIness. out of fun hearts they
viii only say:
Thank God. my boy is coming
home"
No more OF the anxiety that racks
every fibre. no more eager scanning Of
the long lists OF killed and wounded, no
more pincbing and saving 10 supply
the food the bread winner has bcen-un-
able 10 give them Back TO the BAN
boo cottages, back To the huts on the
Eteppes. back TO the palace OF the.
sasnursi and the prince. the boys viii
soon be marching home; home to their
mothers and their wives, their sweet
hearts and their children. Back again
they are going. to take UP the broken
threads OF their lives, to bring happi-
ness TO places from which happiness
has long been absent.
Let US rejoice with the mothers. the
wives and the sweethearts. Let US

Reflections of a Bachelor.

A man would rather even go TO church
than be kept in the house by rainy
weather.
A bachelor gets very little real enjoy
ment out of a club because he can go
there any night he wants to-
It's mighty funny how a girl never
grows a wisdom tooth till she is in love
and temper till she is married.
When man IS nice to his sister Ii is a
sign that he does IL so she will help to
make some other girl nice to him.
The money a married man has TO put
into necessary things would buy a bach

The conviction of Senator Burton
of Kansas on the indictment charging
him of acting in the capacity of a paid
attorney in behalf of the Rialto Grain
& Securities Co. of st. Louis before
the postoffice department to prevent
the issuance Of a fraud order, should
prove a lesson to young men who have
political aspirations. Senator Burton
was looked upon as one of the ablest
men west of the Missouri river. AS
ar orator ne ranked among the best
and was frequently called beyond the
limits of his state owing to his abil
itA in this line Long before he was
chosen United States senator he
was regarded as one of the coming
men of the southwest. How unfortun-
ate that he should not have been sat
isfied with the highest office the peo-
pie of Kansas could confer upon him.
The salary of the office was ample
for his needs but thoughtlessly or in
tentionally he prostituted it for further
gain and must now pay the penalty
with a prison sentence and be forever
barred from holding position of hon
or and trust in the service of the
United States He made a sad and ia
tai mistake
