A LETTER FROM
ENOCH RUSSON.

Oct. oath, 1907;
James M. Kirkham,
Editor Banner,
Lehi. Utah.
Dear Sir:-It is indeed a pleas
ure for me to pen a few lines to
acquaint you of my doings and
feelings.
1t has been some eight months
since left my dear mountain
home and loved ones, and wended
my way across the pond, into this,
the land of my birth, 1000 miles
away.
l realize that all of you who are
interested in the grand plan of sal
walton are anxious as to what we
boys are doing out here in the
world.
was sent to labor in what is
known as the Black District in Old
England, and sure enough, | can
tell you, it was rightly christened.
1t is composed of coal pits, smoke
stacks, and church steeples. The
air is continually dark with smoke.
A person can put white collar on
in the morning and by night its
ready for the washtub. can tell
you this is fine place for laundry
business. We had all need to
be thankful for our home in the
mountains. am laboring in a
district where it seems poverty
reigns supreme. Nearly every day
of my life while tracing from door
to door, | can behold sights that
make my eyes moisten with tears.
1t is a common thing to see
mothers with young babes working
at the anvil making chains and
sails from early morn till eight
and nine O'Clock at night, in order
to live, and only get from six
pence to shilling per day, aud
hundreds of men are working for
as low wages as two and three
shillings per day And you can
see hundreds of young ladies work
ing at the anvils, just az black as
any man | ever see passing coal at
the Lehi Sugar Factory. When
behOlding these things reflect
upon our condition. How much
better are our circumstances than
these poor creatures are here in
this land of my birth.
/ have been successful in finding
about 100 of my uncleS, aunts and
cousins since my arrival here, and
| have borne my testimony to
them, but l can tell You my rela
tives are like the most of the PEG
pie here in this district, they are
saved by grace. They think Jesus
did it all for them, and all they !
need TO do is TO believe in the
Lord Jesus Christ, and that's
enough.
There are a few of my relatives
that are investigating the princi,
pies Of the gospel, and l am very

work rather than by contract. Then we

fact that several schools are badly In
need OF new floors. but other matters OF

season was held by King Edward at st.
James Palace today and was more than
usually interesting because OF the pres
ence of a large contingent Of officers,
who served during the mutiny in India

and relief Of Lucknow. Some OF the in
fantry officers headed by Field Marshal
Lord Roberts, about dozen of whom
wore the Victoria Cross, formed an in
terestinR group at the function with
them being a handful OF civilians whosA
gallant deeds in 1857 led to the first be-
stowal of the Victoria Cross on non-mili-
tary men.
The king drove to St James Palacs
from Buckingham Palace In state escort
ed by detachment OF Life Guards.
The throne room formed brilliant
scene. being filled with members of the
royal family, diplomats and host of
peers, cabinet ministers and members OF
the house OF commons.
Ambassador Reid and ex-Ambassador
Joseph II. Choate were present.

UNVEILED 1T
RICHMOND, Va.

Richmond. Va, June 3.-An inter-
esting memorial OF Jefferson Davis,
chosen leader OF the Lost Cause" and
the first and only president of the
confederate states of America, was un-
veled here today as the crowning fea-
ture OF the Union of the Confederate
Veterans. The ceremony was made the
occasion for a grand military pageant
in which every veteran in gray, who
was physically able, participated with
an energy and enthusiasm which de-
fed the years that have gone since
he bore arms for the south. The
drawing aside of the veil which draped
the figure representing the veterans
beloved leader and the first gun of the
presidential salute, which Immediately
followed, was the signal for an out
burst OF cheering. which was swollen
to thunderous applause by the sons
and daughters OF the veterans.
Beautiful sentiment was heard on every
side and the thanks of the entire south
were offered by the orators OF the occa-
sion TO the United Daughters OF the Con-
federacy. whose work IL was that made
the jefferson Davis Monument association
a success.
The addresses were made by Gov. Swan
son OF Virginia, Mayor Mccarthy OF
Richmond and Gen. Clement A. Evans
The unwilling was done by Mrs. j. A
Hayes of Colorado Springs, Col. daughter
of Mr.. Davis, assisted by her two young
sons.
The monument Is the combined work OF
f. Valentine and William c. Noland OF
Richmond. The memorial typified the
vindcation OF Mr.. Davis and the cause
OF the confederacy, the leading inscrip-
ton being "Deo Vindice" God will vindi-
cate)
Around the moulding is traced this ex-
tract from Mr.. Davis farewell speech
when he resigned from the United States
senate on the secession of Mississippi
Not in hostility to others, not to injure
any section of the country, not even for
our own pecumiary benefit: but for the
high and solemn motive OF defending and
protecting the rights we inherited, and
which it is our duty to transmit uashorn
20 our children"

FEARING DEFEAT, G. D. P.
MEN TALK COMPROMISE
IN THE SENATORSH|P

The Republican state machine Is so
hopelessly involved by the tangle over the
United States senatorship that leaders
are making no secret OF their belief that
unless a compromise can be effected, Col
Robert III. I. Goddard will be the next
senator from Rhode Island.
And they are convinced apparently that
no compromise can be brought about, as
so far as they can see. both Col. Samuel
Pomeroy Colt and ex-senator George
Peabody Wetmore are In the fight TO
stay.
"Our attitude is not Colt or nobody so
much as ii is Anybody but Wetmore. "
said a prominent Colt supporter this
morning while discussing the senatorial
situation.

DIST. ATTY WILSON
Says GOOD WORD
FOR DEFENDANT 7

Albert 3. Cluxton, aged 19. an ap-
prentice seaman at the Newport naval
training station, whose home Is In
Pennsylvania, was arralgned before
Judge Arthur Brown in the United
States court this morning on a charge
OF sending obscene literature through
the United States mail He pleaded
nolo and was fined So.
United States District Attorney
Charles A. Wilson. in explaining the
case. stated that last summer a strange
woman approached the boy at the
training station, calling him by name.
The boy did not know her; but he
granted her request TO show her about
the station. The woman talked In
decently TO the boy; and she wanted
him to desert the navy and live with
her.
This the boy refused to do, but he
promised to write and visit her at her
Newport home. The letter he wrote
her was intercepted by the officials
and he was arrested.
Mr.. Wilson said that he had investi-
gated the boys career as far as pos
sible and had come to the conclusion
that he was worth saving. The offi-
GERS at the naval station told him that
the boy had their highest commenda-
ton and was considered one OF the
best boys there. He was simply led
astray by a wanton woman, Mr. Will
son said, and TO punish him as severely
as the law allows would be a great
mistake
Judge Brown inquired how long the
boy had been in prison awaiting ar
raignment, and when informed nearly
five months. he said that the lad had
already been punished too much. He
therefore imposed fine OF only $5.

NEW EXCUSE
FOR Gun PLAY
NOT ACCEPTED

Practising band music effects by dis
charging a revolver several times in a
public street is the newest plea in miti-
CATION OF a complaint heard in the dis
uict court.
This plea, or explanation of his misde-
meanor, was made this morning by Pas
quale Famiglatti, aged 25 when he was
arraigned for discharging a fire arm in
Charles street on Saturday night
Through Interpreter Frank Rala he said
he was musician: that he was to play
at shore resort on Sunday. and that one
of the band numbers was TO have gun
fire accentuations in some of its passages,
and that he was so eager to realize
how powder explosions would sound that
he procured a revolver and blank car
tridges and discharged them
1t did not appear that Famiglatu was
footing horn or beating tomtom at the
time. but possibly he was humming the
music. He was fined $50 and costs.
