ADJUSTMENTS TODAY
TIME TO GET ACTION.

Il the city council has any regard
for the welfare of the city or for its
own reputation, it will get action to-
night on the delayed public works
which have been held up for various
reasons. II has been weeks since the
question OF sidewalk improvements
was brought up by the refusal of the
contractors TO proceed on the old terms.
These walks have been paid for, some
OF them nearly two years, the people
want them badly, the time for active
operations is slipping away rapidly,
and yet the council has postponed con-
sideratiOn OF the matter from week to
week apparently unable or unwilling to
10 business.
Much the same conditions govern the
sewer question and pipe laying in
streets which are to be paved this
summer In South Main street the
sewer contractor is delaying work be-
cause he thinks I've is entitled to a big
ger price on account of water encoun-
tered in eXcavating. His delay threat
ems to interrupt the street paving, yet
no definite decision as to the matter
has been reached. Every public con-
tractor now at work has been COM
PEELED 10 make threats of stoppage be-
cause he could not get paid for work
already done. The committees have
failed to act on resolutions referred to
them, council members have absented
themselves from the city, and a gen.
eral policy of delay has been adopted.
At tonight's meeting the council
should either formulate a plan for ac-
ton and go ahead with it. or else an
nOunce frankly that it is incompetent
to transact the city's business as busi-
ness men should.

The AMERICAN FLAG.

Utah, in common with other states
observes Flag day. That is June IA. It
is the day when the emblem of the
foremost nation of the earth hoists
upon millions of stats the Stars and
Stripes. The most beautiful emblem in
all the world will be lofted 10 the
heights on that day. as it is lofted on
other days that are not flag days. The
late Seth Taft of Wayne county, Just
before his shocking death at Bingham
canyon. introduced a bill. which after
wards was passed. providing for the
display of the flag by school trustees
on school buildings.
The inspiration that one feels in his
heart when he sees an American flag
is the inspiration which. on Thursday,
was the commanding spirit in the
breasts OF 200 Greeks who followed the
body OF countryman who was assas-
sinated at Bingham Junction. The
priest who delivered the sermon in con-
neetion with this murder, in impress
sive manner, pointed his hand toward
two flags, side by side, but one above
the other, the American in the ascend
ancy. This Greek priest said his peo-
pie wanted only the protection Of that
flag; they had come hither to earn an
honest living. thing which often 1t
appeared impossible to do I'm the father
land. The Austrian strikers who are
suspected Of having been guilty of lay
TO- rct- H.
entitled to . the privilege of stand
ing under the folds OF the flag
than are the Greeks. The father
said that there was no bitterness
between the two nations; that
it was his prayer to heaven that there
would be no race war between the two
peoples. So long, he said. as the Amer
lean flag foated over the land, so long
would the Greeks feel that they were
safe in their lives and property.
1t was a touching appear, an appeal
to patriotism. 1t was a manly talk, it
was a brave challenge TO the authori-
ties TO do their duty.
1t is scarcely conceivable that any
one who invites the harbor OF the
American flag can be denied, for, as so
aptIy put in The Corsair," "Our flag,
the sceptre all who meet obey
1t is safe to say that any one who
seeks the protection OF the national
emblem OF the United States of Amer
lea will get it. Aliens are as safe here
as they are in their own lands-s great
deal safer, so be it they obey the laws
the flag rides over.
