PANIC OVER
PUBLIC OPINION

IL is time to end this panic over
lie opinion. both on the part OF the
public opinion. both on the part OF the
the legislators. Everybody, railroad
men included. is agreed that there
should be proper regulation OF rail
roads. The people are ready to listen
TO reason about what proper regu-
lation is. The legislators have al
ready given such a demonstration of
their responsiveness to the people
that IL should be a generation before
anyone accuses them OF being sus-
ceptible TO the subtle influences OF
the corporations. They lean over
backward in their erect, if somewhat
startled. virtue. End the panic over
public opinion, and let us have a lit

Down the dim corridors of all the

And all in vain its falling tears, and

Uplifted, to deity no higher than

Is there no Christ?

Who kindled heavens Joyous hopes

And rent asunder the tempted veil

No city of God; no land of blessed

Wait the coming of earths heavy

WELLMAN NEARLY
READY FOR FLIGHT
FIVE MEN ARE GOING WITH ICE
AUTOMOBILES ENGINES AND
WIRELESS APPARATUS TO
FIND THE NORTH POLE.

Chicago, March 22.-Modern air
navigation will receive its most thrill
ing and difficult test next month.
when Walter Wellman, Washington
correspondent of The Chicago Rec
ord-Herald, will sail for the North
Pole in the largest and best equipped
airship ever built.
Wellmans flight was scheduled for
last summer, but It was decided to
give another years work at the fac
tory in Paris to the great balloon
and its wonderful car.
Is AN EXPERT.
Wellman, who has made two un-
successful attempts at the pole by
vessel, has been studying airships
for years for the purpose OF employ
ing that means of transportation in
a dash north. He is now an expert.
The party will consist OF five.
Wellman will be the chief. The 9TH
ers are:
Maj. II. b. Hersey, well known as
an enthusiastic aeronaut. one time
member of Rooseveh's Rough Riders
and now a member of the Aero Club.
of Paris; NJ. CASTOR Hervieu. as aer-
onaut-in-chief; Maxwell ]. Smith,
wireless telegraph expert; NJ. Paul
Colordeau, expert mechanician.
THE AUTOMOBILE.
The plan is to sail from Danes
Island. Northern Norway, at which
place the parts of the balloon will
be assembled. The party will go as
far north as possible in the airship
and If it fails to carry them to the
pole they will proceed farther north
by an ice automobile, which they
will carry in the car.
Wellman has been in Paris all win
ter watching the finishing work OF
NJ. GODDARD, builder OF the airship
and he will start for the North in q
few days.
The airship, which has been build.
ing two years, is of the most practi.
cal balloon type.
The car is entirely OF steel tubing
measures 50 13 feet from stem tc
propeller. and contains an engine
room and cabin for the crew.
The ice automobile, or motor
sledge, is small, and designed solely
to haul sledges over ice or heavy
snow crust
Wellman is getting ready to see
how near he can get to the pole.

THINKING OF
CHARLEY

Bart Kennedy, the English move
list and sociologist. in the course of
bitter attack on the Senate. said
in Washington: "The Senate is true
to the American people. oh. yes
verp true to them. Very true. in
deed Whenever l think how true
the Senate is to the people the case
OF Mary Miles comes into my mind.
Mary's husband was a soldier. A
soldier out in India. fighting for his
king. And one day a friend said to
Mary: Mary, are your thoughts al
ways true to Charlie. away out there
fighting the hill tribes?'
Yes indeed, they are Mary an

spects an artistic treat and was fully

Arthur Hartmann's triumphs in

years have won for him an undisputed
place among the greatest violinists
of the present generation. In Berlin,
in London, in Holland, in Scandina-

of the most interesting features OF the
book, accurately depicting the life on
the plains over quarter of century
ago.
In the first act, the Virginian comes
as guest to the party at Uncle
Hewie's, in the hope OF becoming
better acquainted with the new school
mistress, whom he has previously
saved from drowning, when the stage
coach, in which she arrived, was i'll
danger of tipping over i'll the river.
His advances are spurned, but he is
persistent. In this act he renews his
quarrel with Trampas, the vilainous
range rider, and finally assuages his
defeat in love by mixing up the babies
left sleeping in an adjoining room.
The second act at Judge Henry's
ranch shows the Virginian promoted
to be foreman of the outfit, relates
his slow but determined progress in
the love affair with Molly Wood, dis
closes his well meant, friendship Tor
Steve, who seems likely to go wrong
under the influence of Trampas, and
ends with the Virginian's being sent
at the head of the vigilantes to cap
ture the cattle thieves.
The third act discloses the capture
of Steve and Spanish Ed. in the cat
tie thieves camp, and closes with
their hanging, and the last act brings
the characters to Medicine Bow for
the celebration of the Virginians
wedding to Molly Wood. Trampas
is here and drunk and threatens to
drive the Virginian from town. The

CHEER UP.

Cheer up! There is a good one
scheduled at the Orpheum next week
one of those bills that come eonce
in awhile and set the town atalkin'.
Two of the acts have the distinction
of having been deemed strong enough
to hold over at the Los Angeles Or
pheum for couple of weeks, and
then there are some others which the
boy wonder over on West Temple
was afraid were not coming to Salt
Lake.
Like the bill of the week of Jan. FL,
there are couple of headliners on
the elst. First place is given to the
clever little comedy, "A Bachelors
Dream" presented by versatile May
Edouin and Fred Edwards. 1t has
pretty little plot and some cute songs.
Incidentally Miss Edouin takes the
roles of Nurse Williams, a Red Cross
cherub; Lum Sum. a Cnlt
'Arriet, London Coster girl; Car
mencita, Spanish dancer, and Bet
ty just a jolly American girl. She
has a laughing song incidentally that
is a classic.

been seen at the State Street House
of Mirth, but it is predicted that in

novelty.
