NEW PARK BOARD DECIDES TO ERECT
UNCLE TOM STATUES ON EVERY CORNER

walks of life But it has remained for
the Press club of Salt Lake City to
point out the fact that there are no
statues to slaves.
Resolved, that the Press club calls
the attention of your honorable body to
the fact that if there had never been a
slave there could never have been an
emancipation; if slavery had never ex-
listed in this country a great many SOL
diers whose names are written indel-
IDLY on the fair pages of the nation
history would have gone TO their graves
"unwept, unhonored and unsung," as
the poet 50 sweetly puts it,
Resolved. that the slave has not. been
given his due and that it is high time
he was given it. And nothing could be
more appropriate than the recognition
of all slaves through the hOnoring OF
the memory of Uncle Tom The subject
is one that carries with it strong heart
appeal The eye of the artist-and your
honorable body is composed of artists
will readily recognize in our suggestion
splendid possibilities for civic adorn-
ment. The statues should show a life
sized figure of Uncle Tom. On the ped
estal, or base should be figures i'm re-
lief, showing Eliza crossing the ice with
her baby the bloodhounds hot at her
hCSi>g thNlS SIOulQ De cures OF Little
Eva, Topsy, Marks, Phineas Fletcher,
Lagree and the other lovely characters
by whom Uncle Tom was surrounded.
Resolved, finally. that the Press club
of Salt Lake City. by way of further
aiding the commissioners in their work,
calls attention to the fact that on Mon
day evening, Feb. 5. it will present in
the Salt Lake theatre a production of
Uncle Toms Cabin" in which the eel
ebrated characters mentioned, and
many others, will positively appear.
The club suggests that your honorable
body and such artists as you may de-
sire to call upon for sketches of the
proposed monuments, attend said per-
Torrance, as the club is sure you and
they Will be greatly benefited thereby.
Very respectfully yours,

The board of park commissioners at
its second session yesterday decided
to erect statues of Uncle Tom, the ia
nous slave. at every street intersection
in the parking district.
This action was taken after a short
but animated discussion prompted by
the receipt of resolutions passed by the
Press club in regard to the matter.
The resolutions were read by Re-
corder Moreton and were listened to at
tentively by the members of the board.
4 think that the sentiments ex-
pressed are right, and l do not believe
that we could do better than erect the
statues as desired" commented c. H.
Griffin after MOretOn had finished. I'VE
have already dedicated ourselves to
slavery for the next two years by ac-
cepting positions on this board. and |
think that we could not do better than
to erect memorials to the cause for
which so many have laid down their
lives. The resolutions passed by the
Press club express a most beautiful SEN
timent. and / am in hearty accord with
it"
Chairman A. Fred Wey was of the
same opinion, as was also former Gov
ernor Heber NJ. Wells and former
Mayor Richard P. Morris. Mayor
Bransford thought that the board could
not do better than to approve of the
resolutions and order the statues erect
ed.
Mr.. Griffin said that he would like to
have statues, small ones, of the mem
bers of the board also erected in con-
nection with this scheme.
on his motion the board voted unan-
imously to erect the statues-provided

GERMAN AMERICANS AGAINST

Washington, Jan. 1S.-The senate

the various prohibition measures before
it and heard Senator Tillman on the
bill regulating the importation of liquor
into one state from another. He ar
gued that it was competent for con-
gress to take a hand in this question.
Mr.. Tillman admitted there was some
doubt of the right of congress to regu-
late the receipt of liquor from out
side states by individuals for their
own use. This he considered the only
doubtful element with the question.
He begged the committee not to de-
lay in reporting the bill
Get it into the senate" he urged,
land let the senate deal with it,.
Asked to discuss the wisdom of the
measure, he declined, saying that ANY
student of human affairs will tell you
that whisky is the most potent as well
as the most prominent cause of crime
and misery in operation in this or any
other country" And he believes 1t
necessary to invoke the power of the
federal government to perfect the regu-
lation of traffic in states which already
have acted in that direction.
