"wHAT Ais UTAH ?"

We have received a large number Of
communications In answer to the ques-
ton, what Ais Utah?' They all
touch on charges that arc too vile to
treat OF directly we therefore With
hold them from publication, There is
no need to notice the yelpng Of every
hydrophobIc fee that drops venom as
II barks, and our friends should appre-
ciato the position we have taken In ig-
norlng attacks that cannot be paid at
tentlon 10 without loss Of sef-respect.
However as other papers refer 10 con-
ditions that are OF Importance TO the
state, which grow out Of the noise that
is made and the Misrepresentation
that are bruted abroad, we occasional
ly clip some Of their remarks, and
herewith take the following from an
editorial on what Ais Utah. in the
Iron County Record Of April 7;
1--WE have an unfortunate situation
here in Utah. In control Of TWO or
three OF the large newspapers Is a man
who ~ so selfsh--who is so blinded to
the public interests OF the state on ac-
count OF personal animoslties and polit-
zeal disappOin tments--that he prefers TO
ruin everything within his reach, rath-
er than to see the honors denied him
enjoyed by another In the furtherance
OF his schemes OF reckless ruin, he has
found n plant tool In the person Of an
other disappointed office seeker. and be-
tween the two they manage TO keep up
a perpetual furore that Is ans thing but
re-assuring They have a following
among the rabble and their shouts and
applause add TO the general din and
disduletude,
"The people Of utah have stood FOR
this kind Of thing for a long time. They
have borne patiently the abuse and
Misrepresentation heaped upon them
by this element, but there Is an end to
endurance, and Utah Is beginning to
get tired, We do not relish seeing sur
rounding states developed and assisted
by capital that Is denied us, We are
tired Of the perpetual jangle-we want
peace. Unless there Is a change and
the disquietIng element ceases TO retard
our progress, the citizens are likely TO
rise up In their majesty and put them
out Utah has many good progressive
citizens who will not always tolerate
the rule or ruin tactics Of the eN-sen-
ators and colleagues who are system
atically employed in misrepresenting
and tearing down Utah"

SEISMIC DISTURBANCES.

II Is evident that the earth is again
suffering from internal commissions,
which may cause disastrous outbreaks.
The reports from the districts in north
ern India shaken by recent EARTH
quakes, continue to convey alarming
news. According TO one report eighty
per cent Of the inhabitants OF Dharm-
sala were killed. The government has
dispatched from Lahore tents, food,
blankets, doctors, nurses, etc, for the
sufferers at Dharmsala, IT is also re-
ported that the viceregal lodge at Sim
Ia was damaged, as well as the public
offices The earthquake was severely
felt at Kasululi a second shock at
smla Tuesday evening caused such a
panic that the residents rushed from
their houses and slept AN night in the
open air Other reports are to the effect
that several places have been totally
destroyed and that many lives are
lost.
Reports also come OF disturbances IN
this hemisphere Earthquake shocks
have been felt in the islands of st.
Christopher, Dominica and Antigua,
and at Pomte.a-P itre, Guadeloupe. An
official investigation Of the volcano,
La souflere. revealed a rather alarming
activity Of that volcano The investi-
gators met with water green and boil
ing on tho north side Of the lake steam
rising from all over the lake for the
first time since the great eruption Of
1902 A sudden disturbance which
changed the color Of the water to a
dirty red frightened the investigators
away, Their report has increased tho
alarm.
The seismic disturbances occurring IN
90 widely different parts OF the globe
are "a reminder to all mankind OF the
instability Of all things. Even worlds
are, after all. fragile creations, subject
IN the immense forces Of nature which
again are con lrolled by the Living In
telligence, to whose wisdom and power
all things owe their existence and pre-
seryat!on.
The traveller who crosses the ocean In

the divine wisdom and power all is
safe untl the end, which Will come
IN the time appointed. 1t used to be the

TWO DOCTRINES.

Sir william Collins some time ago
lectured before the Health Society,
London, on the man VS. the microbe.
lie emphasized the great truth that
cleanliness is the best possible protec-
ton against disease germs The sub
jet is one Of the greatest importance.
lie said, IN part;
People have lived together for 5000
years without learning TO make their
habtations clean, but at last they are
beginning to learn the lesson, and whcn
they have mastered II they Will have
conquered epidemics.
There are two doctrines today, one
teaches that the tissuesand blood should
be made insensible to the attacks OF
the vast army of germs by incubation;
the other teaches that the body can be
fortified against such attacks by tho
common rules of hygiene, Healthy
blood Is the most powerful gerrnicide
eXtant. Pure air, pure water, personal
cleanliness, model dwellings, sanitation
these are the things which dispose Of
disease.
The stamping-out process--namely,
the isolation Of cases of disease and the
pulling down OF slums-has been proved
far more satisfactory than the inocua-
ton Of new diseases to kill old ones"

ONE OF THE MARKS,

The preacher Of Righteousness always
becomes the object of the fiery darts OF
the adversary. This Is natural, The
officer, who valantly leads his followers
into the thick Of the battle must eX-
pect to become the target OF every
inarksmnn IN the ranks Of the enemy.
Never In the history Of the world has
there been greater need OF men with
divine message, such as Moses, or
John the Baptist. But those who have
such a message must be prepared to
encounter enmlty, This is part of the
proof OF their divine mission, II 1t
we're lacking, It would be much more
difficult to prove the authenticity OF
their message, because they would be
so entirely different. In this respect
from every messenger who has preceded
them. But the friends are multiplying
I'm proportion to the intensity Of the
hatred, and the missiles Of malice viii
do as little harm as cloud of arrows
shot at the sun.

DESERT NEWS PHONES,
SETTLE IT AT oNCEI

It appears that work is suspended on
the grading OF East South Temple
street, ard that another change is COM
lemplatcd, which is likely to be very
costly. The people Of this city are
not likely 10 forget the squabble that
took place some time ago in relation
to this matter and will be much dis
turbed II another wrangle occurs con-
tlnulng the unsatisfactory condition Of
the roadway.
The cutting down of the street as
ordered by the Board OF Public Works
entailed a heavy expense not only upon
the city but upon the Utah Light aud
Railway Company The cut made in
the street to establish the grade de-
termlned upon, proves to be very un-
slightly as well as mconvenient and 1t
is now proposed that a portion Of the
street that has been lowered to depth
Of about thirteen feet, will have to be
raised again.
IT is to be hoped that the Board Of
Public Works viii not plunge the city
nor the railway company into further
financial trouble, through this contem-
plated reversal Of its own arrange
ments. The people feel that II Is
about time that the street mentioned
should be put into a permanent condi-

There had been several schemes on pa

few years ago we suffered humiliat-
ing reyerses In South Africa. Fortu-
nately, IN our case our adyersaries had
not a large population to draw upon
and that population did not possess the
wonderful military virtues of the Japa-
nese. In the end. therefore, we were
able TO compel them to lay down arms,
But we do not forget IN the least
that we suffered humlllatlons because
we were unprepared, and because, In
our national vanity, we thought It un-
necessary TO make serious preparation.
Therefore, instead Of Growing over the
Russians or considering that they have

LET CONTRACT WITHOUT BIDS.

Several of the city contractors COM
plain of the action of the board of pub.
lie works in letting the work of lower.
ing the telephone conduits on Brigham
street to p. j. Moran without first ad.
vertising for bids. The work calls for
an expenditure of about $4,000 The
defense offered by the board is that
this work is incidental to the principal
job of paving the street, which is being
done by Moran. 1t is claimed that the
task of lowering these conduits may be
properly classed as extra" work. This
the contractors, who would have put
in bids, deny and assert that the board
might with equal plausibility assert
that the cutting down of a hill is a
part of the work of paving.
While the price charged by Moran
appears to be reasonable enough at
the same time it looks as if the matter
should have been advertised. Some
contractor might have bid $500 or $4OO
less, and such an amount is worth saw
ing. The law contemplates advertising
such matters, and the law should be
observed.
