GREATER SALT LAKE.
(By John p. Meakin.)
Editor Truth:

weeks, about all that has been said in
pulpit and in press by the greater
brains about greater Salt Lake City.
Rev. Goshen and Bishop Seaman
came nearer the mark in telling the
vital needs of this city and state than
any of the others.
The base of Utah's troubles may be
summed up in few brief words,
namely, a narrow-minded lack of men,
tai liberty. ~,
When vicious prejudice exists
against a people living in any part of
the world, no matter how beautiful
it's valleys or how propitious its nat
ural surroundings for the greater en-
terprises, strangers cannot be at
tracted to such a place or country,
and especially may this be applied
when the selection of home for the
family Is under consideration.
Thousands of thinking people are
not alert or keen enough to do their
duty in aiming to stay the cry of ig-
norant public clamor, but neverthe-
less, they dislike such conditions and
are afraid of locating where a reli-
gious war is continually raging, as
1t is in our city and against our
state.
People are not very apt to seek a
location for a home or a factory in
Russia, where abuse is continually
heaped upon the Jews.
Race prejudice and religious preju.
dice are the twin devels of human
life
Residents of Utah have sent, and
are still sending out a message and
hundreds are still shouting the same
old story that Utah is the one black
spot upon the landscape of our coun-
try, and then we gaze and we wonder
why people don't locate in Salt Lake
City.
The recent campaign for greater
Salt Lake has added to, rather than
subtracted, from the silly prevailing
ideas which exist in the east about
Utah and it's people.
We are anxious for more factories,
more smelters, more paved streets,
more homes, more people, but above
all and beneath all we need broader
manhood more mental liberty, more
of the spirit and the practice of the
Golden Rule. To the know 1t alls"
would say:
Hush up that spiteful tongue of yours,
Give him. your neighbor, chance
to grow,
Before you hang him, tell me this,
Why differs he from you?
You never made yourself, my friend,
Then why should you be proud?
And if you've only what's been given,
What right have you to crowd?
If you want a greater Salt Lake,
stop picturing by voice and pen our
city as "the mouth of hell" because
it isn't true; Salt Lake is the best,
brightest and cleanest city of its size
in America.
Stop abusing your neighbor, because
he or she doesn't belong to your
church. Turn the searchlight of rea-
son upon your own inner self before
you call your brother a fool.
Stop your vile abuse of the leaders
of the Mormon church, they are good
citizens, capable men, and are the
chosen officers of a church with a
membership of three hundred and fifty
thousand of as good a people as can
be found anywhere in the world.
The Mormons came here first, they
were the pioneers. Why not give
them credit for what they have done.
Stop and think for a minute; you may
find something to appreciate and to
| he thankful for; anyway, be decent

Report in Paris that Russian Ruler
Shot Himself.

A Paris special says: An unofficial ru-
NOR from st. Petersburg was published
here on Thursday to TIC effect that EN-
peror Nicholas made an attempt to COM
NIT suicide and wounded himself in the
hand. The rumor further says that the
emperor's design was frustrated by the
Intervention Of his mother, the empress
dowager.
The Shanghai correspondent Of the
Petit Journal states that Chinese BAN
dts have cut the Chinese eastern rail-
way at several places, preventing the
arrival Of Russian reinforcements.
Officially the authorities at st. Peters
burg continue to deny that Russia has
made any proposals to Japan. This is
literally true, as Russia has only made
known the negative conditions, leaving
the Intermediary to convey these condi-
tons on its own responsibility to Japan.
Diplomats in st. Petersburg are con-
WINGED that something is in progress,
but none Of those in a position to know
will acknowledge they are aware of
what is being done.
The Novoe Vremya Wednesday, for
the first time, admitted the possibility of
negotiations for peace, commenting on
the efforts of the British and French to
prove that peace is advisable both for
Russia and Japan. The Novoe Vremya
declares that the payment Of indemnity
by Russia is utterly out of the question,
as it would be Il question tending to
build up the strength of Japan, and that
Japan is not in a position to claim in
demnity. The paper asks whether dip
lomats, "who did nothing to prevent the
war, now will turn their attention to
bringing it TO a close on terms advan-
tageous to both combatants."

Engine Thrown from Track-En-
gineer Killed and Fireman Badly
Crushed-Passengers Escape with
a Bad shaking Up.

A Great Northern passenger train
westbound from st. Paul was wrecked
just east of Basin, Mont, Thursday af-
t~ernoon, presumably by the engine strik-
ing a rock that had slipped down the
mountain side. The train was running
along the canyon Of the Boulder River
when the engine struck the obstruction.
The locomotive was thrown from the
track, landing in the nearby river, badly
wrecked. Engineer John Webber was
instantly killed and Fireman Davis had
an arm and a leg crushed. Only the en-
CINE and tender left the track, the pas
sengers escaping with a severe shaking
up. Traffic was delayed several hours.
A Winnipeg, Man, special says: The
third section Of a Canadian Pacific home
seekers excursion train is reported to
have been ditched.
A wrecking crew and doctors have left
Rat Portage for the scene of the wreck.
The last report says none of the pas
sengers was seriously injured.
The following is the official statement
of the Canadian Pacific Company:
Thursday morning a colonist extra
train, westbound, consisting of twelve
coaches, was derailed near Dryden by a
broken rail. Eight coaches were derail-
ed and several passengers cut and
bruised, none seriously" .
