WHERE UTAH GETS LEFT.

w ASHINGTON DISPATCHES re-
w port that Senator Smoot has
blocked the bill to make Price a land
office point. although the public lands
committee of the senate had reported
favorabiy on the bill after hearing SEN
ator Kearns on the subject. Although
the dispatches do not indicate the prob
able effect of this unforeseen obstruc-
ton, it would not be surprising if the
senate refused to take any further ac-
ton and left the state without addi-
tional land Office facilities.
1t is something of a coincidence that
a movement should appear in the state
legislature just at this juncture having
I'm view a further pOstponement of the
reservation opening. A resolution ask
ing congress to delay the opening until
June has been offered, setting forth as
a reason the alleged difficulty of get
ting into the reservation before the
summer months. Presumably this
move is in line with the Smoot- Howell
effort TO have a land Office located at
Heber City instead of Price or some
other point from which the reservation
IS readily accessible. The fact is. that
land Office at Heber would be about
as available for practical settlers and
locatOrs, as if it were at Green River,
Wyo, or on top the highest peak above
the snow line on the reservation The
natural point of departure from the
railroad for the reserve is Price. 1t
has been the freight and passeng ger
point for years, is closely connected by
a road which is open all the year round,
has good transportation and Quitting
facilities and is the natural place for a
land Office. Compared with Heber City
or any other point this side the Wa
satch range, it is incomparably more
convenient and much less expensive to
intending settlers
For that matter, if the land filings
are to be made this side Of the great
mountain range which is the western
boundary of the Indian lands. Salt
Lake might as well do all the business,
since it would cost the government less
and would be quite as advantageous as
Heber for people who have to file their
locations.
It looks now as though Smoot had
determined to rule everything pertain
ing TO federal business in Utah. or else
ruin the states chances of getting any
thing done to it's advantage by the
general government If this is his al
tentative. it is not difficult to prophesy
the result: the state will get left.

RUSSIAN NAVAL CORRUPTION

AN ABSURD PENALTY.

IT ONLY COSTS a DOLLAR to kill a
negro in the jurisdiction OF the su-
preme court of Hawaii. That is the
sum of the fine assessed against Ed
ward Geneau, master-at-arms of the
United States gunboat Wheeling. for
Staying a negro who rejoiced in the
title of Useless Harris
Harris and Geneau became involved
In an alteration. 1t was not ended
until Harris was dead. Geneau was
brought to Honolulu charged with MUIR
der in the first degree. The jury that
heard the evidence found him guilty
of manslaughter in the third degree and
recommended that leniency be shown
him. Supreme Judge Debolt looked With
favor upon the recommendation and.
as stated, fined the defendant the mag
nifcent sum Of 81.
The pay Of a master-at-arms in the
navy is something like $25 month. At
this rate Geneau will be limited to
twenty-five negroes monthly, or 800 a
year. He should manage to get along
very comfortably on this allotment.
And if he finds that it is insufficient he
win doubtless be able to find numerous
gentlemen south of Masons and Dix
on's line who Will gladly contribute a
few dollars a month to his war fund
There is a serious side to this cues
ton. A fine of 81 seems a ridiculousIy
Inadequate penalty for the taking of a
human life. If Geneau killed Harris in
self-defense he should have been ac-
Quilted: if any degree of blame at
tached to him whatever he should have
been fined much more heavily or sent
10 jail, or both.
The men OF our navy are in the navy
to fight, and if necessary. to kill the
enemies of our country in time of war.
They are not there to fight and kill
each other. The proceedings i'm the .Ge-
neau case win have a tendency to
cheaper life in the navy X viii tend
TO increase the humber and the serious
ness of brawls on shipbosrd and in
port. No other conclusion is possible.
1t is a pity that there is no legal
method of setting aside the judgment
of Judge Debolt and either acquitting
Geneau or furnishing him as he almost
surely deserves to be punished

$10O,0oo.000 is spent every year by
Americans upon travel in foreign lands.
1t would be a mighty good idea to keep
win gladly endorse any proposition that
promises to accomplish this result
1t is well within the bounds of truth
TO say that thousands of Americans
know Europe better than they know
their own land. We heard not long
since a story told by one of the prin-
cipals CT a meeting between an Ameri-
can and an Englishman in a railway
carriage in England. The American
was en- route home from one of his
numerous visits TO Europe and he
talked interestingly of what he had
seen in the out of the way places he
visited
"Ya-a-s." said the Englishman. final
ly. Il have seen all those places myself.
ye know, and some other places in
Europe, but 1 never saw anything any
where TO compare with your Yellow
stone park, your Mammoth cave, your
Garden of the Gods. your Great Salt
lake, your Niagara falls, your Yosemite
valley and a lot of other things in
America" The Englishman proceeded
to enumerate a few of the other things.
The American had not seen one of
them He had a hazy idea that the
western boundary of the United States
was somewhat beyond the city limits of
Chicago, but just how far he hardly
knew.
And he was ashamed to tell his fellow
traveller how little he knew of his own
land. But he acted. He came straight
back to the United States and began
to travel and see its wonders. He is
still travelling and seeing them, and he
started several years ago. A man might
travel for five years in the United
States and be busy all the time seeing
sights he really ought to see.
The reason more Americans do not
see their own country is that they do
not appreciate it until their hear some
outsider talk about it. Then they want
to see everything in it in about three
weeks so they may hurry back to Eu-
rope and loiter there for a few years
more.

THE ATTACK ON MILES.

e ONE HARD, SHEDDING is ahead
- of the bill which prohibits the
awarding Of extra pay TO retired army
officers above the rank of major when
they are assigned to active service with
any state militia. The house. it will be
remembered, passed the bill and John
Sharp Williams, the able leader of the
Democratic minority, wanted to resign
his leadership because the Democrats
did not stand solidly with him in oppo-
sition TO the measure
As Mr.. Williams stated at the time
and as is generally believed in Wash
ington, the bill is a petty slap at Cen
eral Nelson A. Miles. General Miles
recently was appointed to and accepted
the position of adjutant general of the
Massachusetts national guard under
Governor Douglas. The effect of his
acceptance was. in accordance with the
present law, to restore him to his full
pay as a lieutenant general i'm the reg
ular army Since his retirement he had
been drawing half pay
The cabal formed against Miles a
year or two prior to his retirement. A
cabal that was so strong with President
Roosevelt that he permitted the brave
old veteran who had given the best
years of his life to his country to re-
tire without a word of commentator.
seems determined to pursue the general
as long as he lives. 1t was understood
in Washington when the pending bill
was introduced that it had the earnest
support Of the president. The executive
who was perfectly willing To advance
his friend Wood over the heads of hun
dreds of veterans better deserving of
promotion, was unwilling and still is
unwilling for General Miles to get
either credit. glory or salary from the
government.
1t is pleasant, under the circum-
stances, to see President ROoseveIt's
friend and champion, Senator Lodge of
Massachusetts, rise in his place and
utter sharp criticism of the measure on
the ground that it is directed against
General Miles. Senator'S Spooner OF
Wisconsin and Platt of Connecticut are
other Republicans who spoke along the
same line. So did several Democrats.
In view Of the influence exerted by
these senators in matters of legislation
it is entirely probable that the objec-
tionable provision viii be stricken from
the bill.

Governor Cutters recommendation
that the state funds be turned over to
a board of commissioners in order that
they may be properly taken care of
would be timely but for one fact that
the governor seems to have overlooked.
The constitution provides that the state
funds shall be in the custody Of the
state treasurer But a little matter of
a constitution has never stood in the
way Of Utah's lawmakers. There is
the salary grab. for instance.

FREDERICK's SPIDER

On the ceiling Of one Of the rooms
at Sans souci, the palace of Frederick
the Great, is painted large spider,
with it's web. This strange decoration
has an interesting history,
The room adjoined the kings bed
chamber, and in it he breakfasted.
Every morning a cup Of chocolate was
placed there for him, and one morning
just as he was about to drink it he
recollected that he had left something
in his bedroom which he wanted. He
went to fetch it, and on coming back
to his breakfast he found that large
spider had dropped from the ceiling
into his cup. Immediately he called out
for fresh chocolate to be made for him.
Then the king was startled by the re-
port Of a pistol. Directly. the cook
heard the order for fresh chocolate he
blew his brains out. He poisoned the
first cup, and the king s rejection of it
made him imagine his crime had been
discovered.
It was in memory Of his escape from
death that the king had the spider and
web painted on the ceiling.
