"AMERIcAN" CAMPAIGN euNco.

To read and hear what the Amer
leans" say about their prospects in the
fall election, an outsider might think
they expected to carry the city unani-
mously and get a vote of thanks
thrown in by the electors. To believe
their conversation, a stranger would
suppose that such matters as primaries,
a convention, and campaign effort were
mere routine. perfunctory movements
meant only to show appreciation of the
peoples confidence in the party of re
FORM" and that the two parties might
as well abandon any effort in the earn
paign now.
This show Of confidence is based on
the belief that the mass of the people
are ignorant and can be buncoed By the
same game. The American" campaign
slogan is public improvements They
point with exultant pride 70 streets
paved, to water main extension. to side
walks and other improvements as evil
dence that the party deserves TO be re-
turned to power. Such an appeal must
be based on the notion that the people
of Salt Lake know nothing of their af-
fairs, whereas the people know that the
policy Of improvement was inaugurated
by the Morris Democratic administra
ton; they know that the Big Gotten
wood water supply was secured solely
through the efforts Of Mayor Morris and
his associates; they know that the only
blot on the Cottonwood scheme was the
payment OF $4,000 to Pat Moran for
plastering a conduit that needed no
plaster If it was CONSTRUCTED properly.
and they know that most of the n'oney
which the Americans have spent so
cheerfully and recklessly came from
bonds issued by the Morris a 1mInIstl2-
ton and approved by the people On
Morris urgent recommendation.
Further, the people know that if legal
obstruction could have delayed the ac-
QUESTION of the Big Cottonwood water.
the city would still be waiting for that
water because Americans" instituted
ia suit. still ending. to annul the con-
tract by which the water rights were
obtained.

AS in 1876 and 1880, there are nu-

nomination in 19OS-Taft, Knox, Can
non. Fairbanks, all active candidates.
The receptive include Foraker, Hughes,
La Toilette, Shaw, Cortelyou, Cum

Roosevelt should give the wink, all
competition would vanish. His would
be the only name presented, and his
nomination would be by reclamation.

To Build Artificial Island,

The war department has determined

from submerged ledge and will lie
made sufficiently large to contain. be-
sides a battery to command the ap-
proacf to the bays entrance. quarters
and barracks for men and a parade
ground for drill, together with suita-
bic storehouses for provisions and am.

THE NIGHTINGALE.
Coleridge's Defense of the Songster as
Not Melancholy Bird.

wv q WCidUSuoiy 0Hos
The traditional view of the nightin-
gales song is supremacy given in the
familiar lyric by Richard Barnefield.
Here the poet finds the forlorn bird,
with "her breast uphill a thorn" ear
nestly pouring forth her melodious sor-
row: Milton in his juvenile sonnet
apostrophiZes the ineffable singer as
giving forth notes that portend success
in love, and when he comes to de-
scribe sober pleasures in I'll Pense-
roso' he appropriately finds the same
strains most musical. most melan-
choly." Against this Coleridge enters
Il vigorous protest in THE Nightingale;
Conversation POEM" Characteristic
ally advancing in the following pas
sage a general truth and a specific
criticism:
melancholy bird? oh, idle thought.
In nature there is nothing melancholy
But some night wandering man whose
heart was pierced
With the remembrance of a grievous
wrong
Or slow distemper or neglected love I
(And so. poor wretch. filled all things with
himself
And made all genti> sounds tell back the
tale
OF his own sorrow. he. and such as he.
First named these notes a melancholy
strain.
Annotating this, the poet further H.
Illustrates his philosophic acuteness and
| takes the opportunity of expressing
his loyalty to his eminent poetical pred
ecessor. This passage in Milton the
note runs, possesses an excellence far
superior to that of mere description
1t is spoken in the character of the
melancholy man and has therefore q
dramatic propriety. The author makes
this remark to rescue himself from the
| charge of having alluded with levity
to a line in Milton. charge than
/ which none could be more painful tC
him except perhaps that of having
ridiculed his Bible"
i In a letter to Christopher North
Wordsworth refers to the false no
