A HANDSOME EDITION.

The special edition OF the Provo En-
quirer on the occasion of the Strawber-
nv festival, June 20, was not only IL
handsome production, but as valuable
as 1t was beautiful. 1t was the En-
quirer's first venture in the direction OF
Special" and the sequel must have
been most gratifying to all concerned.
The cover design was happy
thought--a large strawberry. a section
in the center depicting an ideal Utah
county farm. The half-tones. displayed
literally throughout the 40 or more
pages, arc of a high class of workman
ship, and the reading matter furnishes
the best of reference. For the most
part the descriptions are devoted to
Utah county and the Garden CITY,"
though other portions of the state are
by no means sighted, either by artist
or writer.

STILL NO LIGHT.

We are still In the darlk--except as
FAR as we may indulge in surmIses-
as to the real motive OF the censure ex-
pressed through the columns of morn
ing contemporary. OF the "News' article
a week ago on TAFT and Bryan. and this
mornings editorial in the Herald does
not throw any new light on the mys-
terry. The News" in venturlng the
guess that MIR. Taft viii be elected, and
expressing the opinion that, II elected,
he will make an excellent executive,
committed itself no more tn partisan
ship than many other independent
journals Of the country. and some recog-
nized Democratic papers. did in their
comments on the Chicago nomination.
The Cleveland Plain Dealer classed as
independent Democratic, says:
"rhe nomination OF william II. Taft
for president OF the United States IL
undoubtedly one Of the important
events of world history of 1908. 1t Is
important because of the likelihood Of
his election, and because the making of
q ruler for America ian undomocratic
expressionl Is a matter of consequence
to all the countries of the earth -.
William II. Taft Is undoubtedly quail
fled for the position of president of the
United States"
According IN the peculiar logic direct
ed against the News" the Cleveland
Plain Dealer. by venturing guess
about the likelihood of his Mr.. Taft'sl
election" and asserting that he is quail
flied for the position of president,
abandoned its position as an indie
pendent Democratic paper and became
Republican organ. And there are
many other independent journals that
passed through a similar catastrophe
II our morning contemporary is cor
rect. AHajiSA
The entire incident illustra ties, we be-
lieve, a condition that is very much de-
plored by all conservative citizens.
Through the auti-Church agitation that
has been going on here for years in the
interest of a regular plunderbund, an
element of suspicion and bitterness has
filled the hearts OF men and women of
all parties, and, as a consequence, inn
proper motives are looked for where
there are none; interpretations, entirely
unwarranted, are given to words and
deeds, that In any other section of this
Republic would be taken as a matter of
course and cause no comment. But for
this peculiar condition there would be
less strife in this beautiful region.

suck blood 1t is estimated that one
billion of money Ia n standing sum
now 80 held. Probably at the COM
mencement OF the panic this congcsted
sum was nearer two billions. IL had
reached that condition that n slight
circumstance deranged the business
conditions OF the whole country"
he this as II may, Il is certain that
true ethical education IL as much need
ed as currency legislation. The young
must be taught that the gain OF
wealth is less important than the de-
velopment OF manhood and woman
hood in the exercise OF the stern duties
OF life; that IL IS better 10 earn by In
telllgent labor than to obtain by
gambling, We need TO realize that
only usefulness ennobies wealth.

The death of the square piano is an
nounced in the decision of the piano
dealers, who held their annual session
in New York recently, not to accept It
any longer in exchange for newer Style
in pianos. For some years 1t has been
generally known that the square piano
was on it's last legs, 80 to speak. The
doom that has now overtaken 1t has
been expected. yet it's departure to
many Is pathetic. Memories and as

gathering place of the family and its

more than musical instrument. 1t was
a convenient piece of furniture for the
accommodation of newspapers, maya
zines and bric-a-brac that have now
no such general ground upon which TO
meet. In all its ways 1t belonged to
a different generation.

PROSPERITY COMING.

favorable to 1t. and not because any

has gone on during the period of de-
preston until the markets are swept
almost clean. To meet the demand of

The longer the delay in beginning the
more insistent the demand. 1t Is the
old story OF demand and supply. In
the face of demand which will soon
become loud preparations must be
made to meet II with the right answer.
They are being made. That Is where

rwo SEPARATE SPHERES,

An anti-Church print violently assails
our assertion that there never was
.Mornnon rule or Ecclesiastical rule,
in this State. or city We are referred
10 Mr.. Whitney's History for proof to
the contrary. But that excellent ana
tforoughly reliable source of inforina-
ton on Utah confirms tho position OF
the News" on this point. Even when
the large majority OF people here were
identified with the Church, and Church
members, consequently, held most OF
the offices. they did not perform their
civic duties as members of the Church
hut as American citizens. II IS Inn
portant TO understand this distinction
And we may say that those who do not
know that a member of church can
fiji civic office as an American citizen
without unduly mixing the duties he
owes to one institution with those he
owes to the other, have yet to learn
one of the fundamental principles OF
american government

Governor of the State But he did not

when the I,atter-day Saints first
came to Utah in 1877. their first atten-
ton was, necessarily. given to the crea-
ton of means OF existence here. 1t was
q norton OF the Church that came to
Utah, and the first organization was.
naturally, ecclesiastical. But as
early as in the spring of 1s49
call for a convention was is
sued, to consider the political needs Of
the people. ''utah's political history be-
gins with the opening of the spring of
1S4s, lWhitney's History Utah, page
SSs). There was then an ecclesiastical
organization. If the leaders OF the
Church had considered that organiza-
tion political as well as ecclesiastical, as
their opponents would have US believe,
they would hardly, at that early date,
have called convention for the organi-
zatIon of state. But they issued that
call as American citizens, and they adj
dressed it TO "all the citizens of that
norton OF Upper California lying east
of the Sierra Nevada mountains" and
not only 10 Church members. Can there
be any stronger proof for our conten-
ton that the I.atter-day Saints have al
ways made proper distinction between
affairs ecclesiastical and political?

on Wednesday that her end was near,

History of the Crime.

From PRESS of July 25th, 1907.
The most horrible crime commit
ted in Emporium for many years
startled our people last Thursday
afternoon when we stopped the
press to announce that Ora O'Dell,
of East Emporium, had shot his
wife, then turned the gun on him
self. While our town has become,
III a measure, hardened to the sud-
den taking away of our citizens,
this case being only the second
murder ever committed here. it
caused great excitement, regret
and Indignation. The only rea-
son the brute was not lynched was
tie hope of all that his wound
would prove fatal.
