"During the past year there came

The proposition for the celebration
of the three hundredth anniversary of
the discovery Of Lake Champlain is
exciting some comment. This ami
versary does not occur until 1909 but
the 'propriety of a commission to ex-
anime into the ways and means at this
time cannot be questioned. The reso-
luton carries with it only mileage and
mere expenses for the members thereof
and no DOUBT a town like Burlington,
for instance, would gladly aid In the
matter Of financing such celebration.

TWO KINDS OF AMERIcANIsM.

the majority had decided a question OF
ofiice-holdng by declaring in favor OF
q candidate, in the manner provided by
law, the business of the minority was
TO yield as gracefully as possible to
the decree of the people
But fashions change. The new
tangled "Americanism' Is different
from the old-fashioned brand. II, for
instance, the people OF Utah send a
man Of their choice to represent them
in the United States senate, the So
called Americans set IN mo-
ton both heaven and earth In order
to annul the choice OF the majority.
That no irregularity has taken place;
that there IL no real foundation for
complaint, cuts no figure. The people

preference contrary TO that OF the
apostles of the new "Amerlcanism,"
they must suffer for II, il money can
buy engines Of torture and tools TO

lawful manner, select a congressman.
their choice must be contested to the
bitter end. The people have no political
rights that ambition Is bound to re-
spect. That is northumberland.
Verify, times change.
we are all anxious TO pull for the
material development of Utah. But, az
long as this new, falsely so-called
"Americanism' hangs like a pail of
smoke over an the interests OF the
State. the progress Will not be IN pro-
portion to the natural advantages OF
this region. Let us have a return TO
the old-fashloned Americanism OF ma
jority rule. America has developed 4

POLES TO GO TO LAW.

The fact that the Prussian govern
ment more than century after the
| partition OF Poland IL encounterlng
serious difficulties IN subduing the part
| Of the nation II absorbed Is another
| illustration OF the truth that people
standing on It's rights cannot be en-
tirely conquered. The Poles lost their
| liberty as q consequence OF Internal
dissensions. in which one class was
arrayed against another. This weak
ened the nation for defense against
surrounding enemies and gave land
hungry nations an excuse for inter-
fering I'm the internal affairs OF the
unfortunate country. The Poles suf-
fcred loss Of national autonomy as
consequence Of their national sins.
The Prussian government Is now
threatened with one OF the most re-
markable law suits on record. Two
questions are involved, ono relates
to the legality Of certain land trans
actions; the other touches the schools.
with regard to the land question, II
Is stated that IT had It's origin in the
policy Of Bismarck. He obtained
from the Prusslan Diet an appropria-
ton Of s25, 100000 to buy Polish es-
among German farmers. II Is claim
ed that since 1856, 500. 100 1000 moro
has been appropriated for the same
purpose. Polish constitutional law
yers now claim that those measures
are In violation OF the Prussan con-
stitutlon, because the grants have
been made In order to force the Poles
OFF the land into the towns. Further
more the Poles themselves have been
taxed TO the amount OF 350,000,O0
marks. IN order to buy them out. and
this they claim is contrary to both
law and equity
The school dispute turns chiefly
around the question OF language. The
prussian authorities have for years
tried to suppress the Polish language
In favor Of German. At first religious
instruction was exempt from the rule,
but recently this exception has also
been disregarded, and the children
are required TO receive all instruo-
lions in German. The situation has
been represented In a cartoon, In
which the teacher Furnishes the chill
dren for praying In Polish. The par
ents punish them for praying In Ger
man and the priests beat them for
neglecting TO pray. The whole coun-
try Is In foment. Recently an un-
popular teacher who threatened his
scholars with arrest. woke up to find
his house In flames and tho family
at the point OF suffocation. In some
places II has almost come TO blood
shed.
As already stated the Prussian gov
eminent Is threatened with lawsuits
for alleged illegal acts OF oppression.
A great number OF distinguished law
ycrs. II is said. have been retained on
tho Polish side. and numerous wit
ncsses will be called Contributions
to meet the expenses are promised
from all parts Of Poland. Ii the Po-
lish question thus is brought before
the courts, great interest In 1t will he
aroused all over the world.

their profession as wives and mothers,

the women who use their brains and
their souls TO love with, as well as
their hearts, and who WELD an extra

thing they are thinking OF, or seek to
attain. That intangible thing that we
