peoted.

Washington July 1S.--Actien Of the
greatest Importance to labor circles is
contemplated In direction given by the
President to officers In charge of public
works at the instance Of Secretary TAFT
This Is TO employ the governments own
officers to direct and punish violations of
the law Of 1903. providing except that in
case of an emergency, work upon gov
eminent buildings. ships and other prop
critics shall be limited to eight hours each
day for each workman.
An effort was made by the forces of or
sanized labor during the last session of
Congress TO secure legislation to this end
but so effective was the opposition of
the great contracting firms that prae-
tleally no action was had upon the pend
ing bill, though the House committee on
labor consumed many hours in listening
to powerful arguments on either side of
the question
No Means of Redress.
Heretofore 1t has been the practice of
executive officers where complaint was
made by labor unions that the eight-hour
law was being violated by contractors
building ships. constructing public build
ings, engaged in river and harbors and
other public enterprises to reply that 1t
was not their business; that the law was
binding upon the contractors and that II
the labor unions felt aggrleved and knew
of violations of the law they should pro-
coed themselves legally against the Of
tenders.
The labor unions asserted that 1t was
almost impossible for them to secure the
necessary evidence and that they had
not the money to engage in legal strug
gle with powerful moneyed interests.
Under the Presidents direction every
government officer in charge of inspee-
ton OF public work In progress is to be
directed to promptly report to the De-
partment of Justice any violations by
contractors of the eight-hour law, and
prosecution initiated by and at the ex-
pense of the government Is to follow.
The Effect VIII Be Great.
The effect of the order upon the cost
Of government work is expected to be
very great 1t is known that it has been
almost the rule for government contrae-
tors to work their men ten and twelve
and even more hours per day. If they
cannot do this they assert that they must
increase by 20 or % per cent the amount
of their bids, so that Congress must
either increase by like percentage the APP

respondingly reduce the amount of work

SAFE AND SANE COURAGE,

Mr.. Bryan seems to be never afraid
to say what he thinks should be said
by him. Much Of the fame which
he has gained has been attributable to
his apparent out-spokenness regardless
Of consequences to himself and others.
Doubtless in large degree he deserves
the plaudit; for his long and persist
ent fight for bimetalism, his deter
mined and protracted struggle against
imperialistic tendencies-as he chose to
designate them-both indicated that he
would prefer to express his views and
take chances upon such expression than
to allow concealment to prey like a
worm on his damask cheek. But, while
The Tribune does not wish to detract
from any deserved praise of Mr.. Bryan
for the quality Of his candor, it cannot
accord to him any other recognition
than that of "safe and sanen pru-
dence in his attack upon the Sullivan
forces in Illinois. Mr.. Bryan risks moth.
Ing, Under no conceivable circumstance
can this contest result disastrously for
him,
Mr.. Bryan waged battle for decency
in politics when he appeared against
the Sullivan forces in the National
convention Of the Democratic party
two years ago; and he lost. But the
very reason of his losing gives now
an assurance of his winning Two
years ago the dominant forces in the
Democratic party were against Mr.
Bryan, being inspired by belief that
devotion to conservatism might pos
sibly win for the Democracy at the
polls Parker WAS already the select
ed standard bearer; the aggregate
forces of the party were behind Parker;
Il pleased those forces to take the
Sullivan cohorts into collusion to aid
in the achievement Of their purpose;
therefore Mr., Bryan, whether right or
wrong was con.euding against the al

UTAH WINS ON FRUIT.

The gratifying word comes from
Boise that Utah has won on the com
petition for the best fruit exhibit at
the Fourteenth session Of the Irriga
tion Congress-the Sweepstakes and
the cup.
This is excellent; it pays for all the
trouble of making the exhibit. 1t will
enormously advance the prestige of the
State, and will cause greater attention
than ever to be paid to Embarrassing in
Utah.
Whether the cup that is awarded is
the Clark cup or not, may be doubted;
for it is understood that Idaho claims
permanent possession Of that; but the
main thing is that Utah gets the award
and the cup for the superiority of her
fruit exhibit in competition with States
whose fruit has reputation, prestige,
and fame that are worldwide; and that
is good enough.

INSIDIOUS BOTH WAYS.

The Deseret News afflicts itself with
serious sorry because some preacher
abroad has said that the Mormon mis-
sionaries in his neighborhood teach
their doctrines "insidiously' and "sur-
reptitiously.
In a vigorous defense against this
Habsurd accusation, - the Deseret News
quotes from another church publica-
ton TO show how open-hearted, how
supercandid, how fagrautly and brutally
direct are the teachings Of the church
and it's uthpieces-certain Of the
missionaries.
And yet let us see whether the charge
is not we'll founded in some respects at
least: More than sixteen years ago
there was promulgated as doctrine of
the church, law Of the church, a
teaching Of the church, binding les"

as the Woodruff anti-polygamy mani

from God; next, it was written by
prophet; next, it was edited by pres.

dents of seventies; next, it was sub
mitted TO all Israel, and by all Israel
accepted; next, it was submitted as the
law of God to the people and as the
teaching Of the church to all mankind
And yet from that day to this, that
teaching, if presented at all, has been
presented in what the Deseret News
well defines as an "insidious md sur

EMIGRATION PROBLEM.

The Commissioner General OF Immigra.

problems OF immigration. One of these
which causes much trouble and embar-
rassment is the matter OF distribution

Cornell university and special agent of
the United States census bureau whom
we have recently quoted. employed sta
tistics to show that there Is a general
movement among immigrants away from
the cities. On the basis Of his figures il
appears that nearly one-half OF those
who have arrived within the last hye
years are TO be~found outside the cities
OF $4,000 and over. Even without dis
putting his figures and statements. they
hardly strike at the root OF the matter.
