This would be a curious psychological
phenomenon Il gentlemen had not had
similar experiences. When you find that
indignation has been tTiumphantly re-
pressed during seven months, and u
then suddenly comes from everywhere

a work Of art can fittingly be placed upon
a given location the opinion OF archi-

come and tell Us that a suitable spot
should be dedicated 10 Lincoln or 10 any
that appeals 10 the historical magma

There IS something I should like 10
bring to the attention Of the House and

the 1909 ''Wiltzius Catholic Directory"

The Splrit OF IS dominated the regu-
lar monthly meeting Of the United Ger
man Societies at Bessler's Hall last night,
Kurt FoeIckner presiding.
At former meeting plans had been
discussed 70 entertain the German mem
bers Of Congress at a banquet for the
purpose Of interesting them In the aims
and efforts OF the local society.
Preparations were well under way when
i was discovered that the national sOlons
Of TeutOnic extraction did not evince that
enthusiasm In behalf OF measures dear
20 the German heart and did not heed
their desires as was suspected from them
The executives OF the United German So
cieties thereupon met and decided to drop
the whole matter and 10 recommend TO
the society TO do likewise
Congress Is blamed
Gustav Bender. secretary Of the So
ciety. said that the German members Of
Congress only saw 10 il that they were
reelected to Congress, and that they did
not care what became Of the German
Americans Of this city. r. Bender sug-
gested that more could be accomplished
in the way q legislation through the
agency OF the German-AmericaD Ali
ance: that the members il Congress who
depended on the German vote for their
election would have 10 heed the alli-
ence's requests, and that therefore the
local society should in the future not pay
any further attention 10 these delinquent
Representatives
Mr.. Bender said that they had not even
responded 70 an invitation which had
been rendered 10 them 10 attend an en-
tertainmenJ some time ago.
Rudolph SaUr. a venerable member Of
the society. disagreed with Mr Bender,
and said that the German Representa-
tives in Congress had always stood in
the front ranks in the fight for the
preservation Of personal liberty, and that
il was not only wrong, out unwise, 70
reconsider the function which had been
arranged in their honor.
The motion 10 reconsider the motion
70 honor the legislators was unanimously
adopted. and il was the sense Of ths
meeting that in the future the United
German Societies viii never again enlist
the interest in their behalf Of those mem
bsrs OF Congress who heretofore pro
fessed loyalty to the cause OF the Ger
mans

Boston, Jan. s.-It's up to the State

eide whether it is advisable to send
Nevada Juvenile law breakers to the
school at Ogden. AT present the Ne
vada authorities are inclined to favor
the transfer of thSlr 'incorriSlbles
and an inspection of the local institu-
ton may cause them to take immeais
ate action.
While Mr. Joseph was here Wednes-
day he received a message from the
governor of Wyoming informing him
that committee from that state
would accord ii a favor TO be present
when the Nevada party is shown
through the Industrial school, in or
der that they too might come TO de-
cision as to how best to care for their
young people who require the disci-
pline Of such state institution.
The prospects are both, Nevada and
Wyoming, within a short time, will
be sending their young offenders 20
the Utah school, and eventually tie
states of the intermountain country
may look to Ogden as the only place
for the disciplining Of their extreme

tax Is to be collected in cash, no work
payment being permitted, the tax,
however, is to be 81 per, rather than
So.
In conformity with this regulation
the legislature appropriated 1000 to
be apportioned among the various
counties Of the state. $1,000 TO be
given to each county having an as
sessed valuation of PROPERTY reaching
$4,000.000, provided said county ap-
propriates an equal amount for the
building and maintenance OF good
roads. The county commissioners Of
each county are also empowered to
levy a five mill tax for road purposes
aside from the $1,000, which may be
taken from the general fund.
The state road commission Is re-
Quired to visit the counties and des-
ignate the state roads in the county,
the monies raised as above designated
to keep up and build both the state
and county roads. Weber county Will
soon be under the regulation, and It
Will become necessary for the county
commissioners to name a road COM
missioner. Just who that commission
er will be is problematical at this time,
but 1t Is stated by those who stand
close to the state and county admin
istration that John C. Child, of Roy,
is slated for that place. Child is a
good and faithful Republican, and it
is said by his friends, he is particular
ly fitted for such position. 1t is not
expected that the county road COM
missioner will attend to all the work
OF the road building and repairing, but
that he will appoint agents to aid him.
This Will give the commissioners con-
siderable OF a swing In controlling DO.
lltical patronage In each county, which,
of course, is expected to rebound to
the good of the Republican party so
long as it maintains its monopoly
on the offices.

COLLECTOR LOEB DESERVES
PRAISE.

The country is with Collector Loeb
OF the port of New York in his cru
sade against the defrauders who, IN
the employ Of the government or
Sugar Trust, have been underweigh-
ing sugar landed in this country from
foreign ports.
New York dispatches state that the
next step will be TO reach still higher
in the official list of those connected
directly or indirectly with the gigan-
tic frauds. After that he Will reach
for "the one responsible man."
Without his publicly or officially
saying so, 1t IS known that Collector
Loeb Is convinced that the ends of
justice will not be fully met until the
primary responsibility for the bribery
Of subalterns and others connected
with the service at that port has been
fixed upon. 1t is believed that evi-
dence pointing directly to at least two
men holding high positions with two
importing concerns Is now in the pos
session Of the collector. and Of Henry
l.. Stimson, who has been retained by
the government to prosecute the
sugar trust frauds.
The higher officials Of the Sugar
Trust must have been aware of the
frauds, either that or their subordin-
ates were guilty of robbing them and
the government out of millions of dol
lars
These disclosures are the direct re-
suit of the aroused civic conscience
which attended the administration OF
Theodore Roosevelt conscience
which remains active even after
Roosevelt has vacated the high Office
OF President.
