along and jumps his claim. Is not the

anything except trouble and confusion,

There is no guarantee that congress
will pass the bill suspending assess

an effort will be made to pass it,
Our own opinion is that when con-
gress reassembles and the house takes
up the measure-it has already been
passed by the senate-sOmebody will
make the points that have been made
here. and the bill will fail Certainly
there does not seem to be MUCH reason

done That is, all that could under any
circumstances be done has been ac-
complished. If congress has the power

who have made blanket locations for
the purpose, eventually, of capitalizing

The act, if its consututionality can
be established, would not help the or
binary prospector in the slightest de-
gree. The Herald hopes that the meas
ure will fail of adoption. The purpose
for which il was originally intended
cannot now be made effective.

BRUCE CLAIM SHATTERED.

The claim of George Hollamby bruce
to the Portland dukedom and estates
viii probably be thrown out of court
as a result of the exhumation of the
coffin said by bruce to contain a roll
of lead instead of the body of T. c.
bruce. The casket actually did con-
tain the remains OF a human being, a
bearded man such as t. c. bruce was
in life. bruce was DTuCe and not the
Duke OF Portland. if the mute evidence
of the casket and its contents is to be
believed. And in. what position does
this put the witnesses for the COM
plainant?
Robert Caldwell, an American. was
one of them. Caldwell swore positively
that T. c bruce and the Duke of
Portland were the same man. He
swore that when the duke grew tired
of playing the role of bruce he decided
to die as bruce and have a mock fu-
neral. According TO Caldwell he him
self was present when roll of lead
was put into the coffin. that was said
~ AbAAAoAAl LAAN bOhg VI tAAN my NAAiNoA
bruce. Unless in the meanwhile some
interested party has transferred the
roll of lead from the coffin to some
other place and substituted a corpse
therefor Caldwell is as spectacular a
liar as ever was heard in a court of
law.
The substitution of course is posi-
bic. but it is not at all probable. And
yet it is difficult to understand the
twist of character that would make it
possible for man to go into court and
perjure himself as Caldwell apparently
has 1t has not been shown that he
was 10 receive any money for his
crime He was in no way related to
the plaintiff in the action. And he
must have known, if he knew anything,
that before the court proceedings We're
over the bruce casket would surely be
opened and its contents exposed. There
was no way 10 avoid this. The Eng
lish were a long time recognizing the
fact. but they did recognize it at last,
with the result as stated.
The coffin was opened" says the
authorized statement, ''and found TO
contain the body of an aged, bearded
man: the plate on the coffin bore the
name, Thomas Charles bruce. "

it is to be hoped, very much wiser.

and controlled by the metal producers
themselves, and organized and govern
ed by just such men as are present
here, who have the ability. the energy
and the manhood to say 10 the present
owners Of the great smelling trusts or
monopolies, You must deal fairly with
the mineral producers. You are enti-
tied to a fair working charge, but you
cannot expect it all. You should en-
courage the industry by giving to the
prospector and miner what it is worth

! charge.
Later he was more explicit. After
saying that the smelter trust would be
told that if it did not deal fairly with
the producer an Independent smelter
would be in operation within thirty
miles of Salt Lake City no later than
Jan. l. 1909. he added:
4 have reasonable grounds and en-
couraging assurances for the statement
[ make to you that within the next
ninety days. or as soon as the financial
situation will permit, ground will be
broken and the construction of a new,
free and Independent smelter begun. If
il should be constructed 1 trust that
you Will give it your support. for it
means a great deal to the upbuilding of
one. if not two, of Utah's greatest in
dustries'
No more important statement was
made at the Commercial club by any
of Saturday nights speakers. The i'm
mense value of an Independent smelter
to the miners of Utah, Idaho and Ne
vada is apparent to all who have even
a slight knowledge of the situation. AS
matters stand at present the miners are
absolutely at the mercy of the trust.
They must sell their ores to the trust
at whatever prices the trust sees fit
to pay. The trust can arbitrarily fix
the prices for treating ores. 1t holds
the producers in a grasp of iron.
In common with all fair-minded peo-
pie The Herald is willing for the smell
ter trust to make a fair profit That
much it is entitled to, but not a cent
more. An Independent smelter of large
capacity would quickly bring the trust
to reasonable terms. The movement
is entitled 10 all the backing the min
ing operators and the business men of
the city and state can give it.
The Herald sincerely hopes that hard
times will not prevent the building of
the proposed Independent smelter. Such
an institution is so badly needed here
that it is surprising that it has not
been erected and placed in operation
before. We wish all success to the plan
and predict that it will be carried to
completion with the least possible de-

Thanksgiving Day In Paris.

Last Thanksgiving was celebrated
by Americans in Paris In a manner
that was as TRADITIONAL as was pos
sible in face of few shortcomings,
such as almost complete famine in
pumpkin pie and a shortage in the
cranberry supply.
Dinners were enjoyed at home by
Americans who have homes in Paris.
but the 'floaters" who find them
selves far from their native heaths on
feast days had to trust their fates to
hotels and restaurants.
The American Art association at IA
Rue Notre Dame des Champs gave a
dinner for its members.
Hotel and restaurant proprietors
have long since appreciated the impor-
lance of Thanksgiving day as a 'tjour
de fete" for Americans, and they had
prepared the national dish" Among
these were the Athenee, Langham and
Continental hotels and Noel, Peters
and ChampeuX restaurants, which
were all crowded with Americans at
the dinner hour.

THANKSGIVING Hints,

Let no one else suspect that you have
little cause for thankfulness
Remember that every one has cause
to be thankful-if not for personal. at
least for family sectional and national
reasons.
Try to find the true spirit of thanks
giving in thinking of other peoples
happiness and so find at least a faint
reflection in your own heart.
Remember that there are more rea-
sons for the national holiday than
football game and big dinner.
Do not let the responsibility Of en-
Pertaining guests interfere with the
pleasure of their society.
If the unavoidable bitches In the
domestic machinery occur. console
yourself with the thought that, al
though the turkey was underdone. the
pumpkin pie was beyond reproach and
that If the cook forgot the celery she
remembered the salad dressing which
you had forgotten
And try for one day to be charitable
Tot only in deed, but In every thought

WILL HOLD NATIONAL CONvEN-
TON IN APRIL AT ST. LOUIS
CALL SAYS OLD PARTIES NOT
TO BE TRUSTED.

JOLIET, H., Dec. 2.-Chairman
Ferris of the populist national COM
mittee issued a call today for a pop
ulist convention to be held at St.
Louis April 2, 1908, for the purpose
of nominating candidates for presi-
dent and vice president and trans
acting such other business as may
come before the convention.
The basis of representation will
be two delegates for each congress
sional district and four delegates at
large for each state and territory,
besides one delegate at large for
each 1000 votes or major fraction
thereof cast for the peoples party
election in 1904.
The call says hope cannot be
placed in the promises of the two
old parties. The peoples party is
opposed to any system permitting
any class of citizens to paralyze in
dustries and bankrupt the indus
trious millions.

Thanksgiving Day In Old New Eng.
land.
A charming description Of a New
England Thanksgiving day fifty years
ago Is given by Mrs. Harriet Beecher
Stowe in one Of her novels. OF all
days in the year it was the one for
which new dress was imperatively
demanded. New ways Of making
squash pies and ounce tarts were
proper subjects for conversation for
some days before the feast. For a
week before the date fixed the children
of each homestead were kept busy
chopping mice meat and pounding Gin
namon, allspice and cloves in a wood
en- mortar, slicing candied orange peel
and stoning raisins.
All the members of the family came
home to eat their Thanksgiving din
ner. The courses consisted of turkeys,
chickens and chicken pies, then plum
buildings and afterward pies. After
the dinner the patriarch of the house
gave a recital of all Gods mercies to
them. speaking from the text, LET
children hear the mighty deeds which
God performed of DID," That there is
no present occasion for emulating their
fathers deeds is all the more reason
for observing Thanksgiving day.-New

Thanksgiving on the Continent.

Germany and Russia adopt the rath-
er sensible plan of appointing Thanks
giving days when they have some spe-
cial reason for so doing. though Rus
sia hasn't had much to be thankful
for in late years In Hungary Thanks
giving days or something analogous to
them used to be common, but have
now passed away, except on rare oc-
casions of national rejoicing. Then a
horse race of a particularly exciting de-
scription takes the place that football
occupies In the American observance
of the real thing In the way of Thanks
giving celebrations.

Dear Governor-we have read your

out from the world at present, we have
much TO be thankful for. The papers are
not pitching into US and calling US hard

with a larger measure of liberty. Our
appetite Is OF the never-get-weary kind,
and we don't have to take treatment for
insomnia.
We are not nervous concerning bur
glars and holdup men. and our diamonds
are the least of our worries Nobody
comes round and tries to work US on wild
cat mining stock or sell us gold bricks.
The coal man hasn't come after his
money, and we don't look for him. Snow
Ice, sleet and wintry winds are nothing
to us. We don't have to get up early
Sunday morning and fix for Sunday

Three times a day week in and week
out, we get beans, corn dodger and we'll
water, except on holidays when there's

In looking over these matters we feel
that we are blest far beyond the common
run, for which we are deeply thankful.
