MOAB COUNTRY LOOKING UP,

No matter whether or not the boats
were able to navigate the Green river
and the Grand. The country around
Moab is coming to the front. Here is
an item from the columns of the Moab
Times:
On Wednesday T. W. Branson and A
NJ. Rogers located an oil and gas placer
claim Of 100 acres about twelve miles
up the river, which shows a very en-
couraging oil flow frem the upper oil
sands and an immense flow of natural
gas, which burns with clear flame
1t is an easy and comparatively cheap
problem to pipe this gas to Moab, and
from appearances there is a sufficient
quantity to supply a town of much
greater population than Moab with
light. fuel and power for years to come.
One OF these days the people there
will be in quick communication with
the rest of the world. Their products
will be carried swiftly and cheaply to
market. The valleys that now are dry
and covered with sagebrush will be held
by the serried ranks OF bearing fruit
trees; and the homes of the nation will
prize the apples Of Moab.
We have every faith in the people of
that now Isolated community.

Of It not already q part of the city
has asked for annexation. is a good
time TO work for the securing of the
rest The city has more than hun
dred thousand population. II those
southern sections are not included IN
the count. the city win not get the ben
eft Of all legitimate enumeration And
they will not be included In the count
If their present status Is maintained
until the federal census is taken next
spring.
Those towns are right now In the
city. The city is entitled to the broth
erhood which their annexation would
express. They are entitled TO the bene-
fits and the service and the protection
which the city can and does insure.
Let them all follow in the honorable
lead Of Waterloo. Let them be made a
part-a very honorable and very de-
sirable part-of the city.
And all the world will know that
Salt Lake has increased in size from
fifty-seven thousand in nineteen hun
dred to double that number In nine
teen-ten.
It makes all the property Of Salt
Lake worth more. It makes invest
ments here more desirable. It takes of
half the burden the dealers in real es-
tate have to perform. It is for the per-
manent good OF the city.

1.-THE GAY MI sIciAN."

When a company is as good as that
which has been presenting the light
opera called '"The Gay Musician" al
the Shubert, it deserves more than
passing mention. There is nothing par
ticularly attractive about the theatre
And people who have known the his
tories Of the various theatres here are
not prepared for anything very good
inside. But the unexpected happens"
The play is worth while.
In the first place, It is a play. 1t
has plot enough to follow all the way
through. It wouldn't make bad com
edy, without note of music. But 1t has
oceans of music. There is as clever a
creation. considered as melody. as has
been presented to the public In years.
And the company, both as singers and
as actors, are worthy the best sort of
presenting. They have been tremen-
dously handicapped by the little stage
Of the shubert; but they have carried
off their triumphs with the utmost pa
thence. and have simply electrified a
succession of audiences with well-ren-
dered solos. with a singularly good.
strong and true chorus, and with a pro-
fusion of pretty gowns that would
make fair excuse for even a weak or
hating performance.
So clever. so capable, so we'll trained
and so successful a company deserves
the biggest stage, and the most luxu-
rious Of surroundings.

THEY HAVE TO WORK.

Wilton Lackaye, one of the foremost
men on the American stage, believes
that 1t is a good thing men have to
work. He doesn't seem to regard as a
curse those words which the Lord pro-
nounced upon Adam just outside the
gates OF the Garden of Eden. Here is
a scrap from a recent monologue Of the
actor:
The socialists are obliged to assume
that a man will work If he doesn't have
to, and that is not true. 1, for one, will
not. I am the most indolent man in the
world, and yet have had to work hard
every day of my life since l got big
enough to do anything. Why? Because
that was the only way 1 could get what
wanted. I didn't want to beg and l
didn't want to steal. so had to work.
Well, it has been the dream OF my life
to lie under tree and read a book and
think lofty thoughts about the plays I
shall produce. and that's Just what I'm
going to do If the socialists pull It off.
And IL wasn't a curse. The working
man is the best man. It is his only
chance for health and happiness. It is
his only sure road to get good out Of
the world. If he doesn't work. he rots.
Re deteriorates In both body and mind.
And yet. so strangely is humanity
constructed that If men could get what
they want without working. they would
all be idle. These young millionaires
who make shipwreck of life are not so

ROYALTY ON MINERALS TAKEN

Minnesota must have had some wise
men at the head Of affairs In the build
ing Of that state. It's initial laws re-
quired the payment to the state Of roy
alties for all minerals taken from Min
nesota soil. And here Is the result of
It:
The western commonwealth adopted
the forehanded policy Of exacting roy
alties from ore mined on state lands,
and provided by legislative enactment
for the investment of the revenue. Ac-
cording to Attorney General Simpson,
the income from the fur is now $780,
600 annually, and during the next fifty
years the principal may be expected to
aggregate S250, 100000
II that sort OF law were in effect in
Utah, no matter how small might have
been the rate of royalty, the treasury
Of the state would be enriched beyond
the limit of any present need.
The collection rests on the theory that
the property of the state is the possess
sion of the people: and that the people
have right to benefit from any Of the
earth's natural resources that are ex-
tracted and applied to private use.

OF COURSE THE WIVES PAY.

City Prosecutor Rogers complains
that when he has secured conviction
Of men for wife beating. or for those
outbursts Of temper which make arrest
necessary, the wives come In and pay
the bill, and take the obstreperous hus-
bands home.
OF course they do. In the first place.
next. It is the best thing the women
can do. In most Of those cases, the
husband is the bread winner. He is
the natural protector Of the family
And even II he does make rough house
of it once IN a while, yet there are some
compensations. He provides money
and confesses to a love for the chill
dren. He works. and he brings home
the food and the clothing.
Maybe he wastes more than he
should. now and again. But these are
like the mistakes Of the rest Of us.
They are the exception TO the rule. And,
being the exception, the wife is winner
to have the husband In the home,
rather than In the Jail.
Furthermore. the presence Of the
husband about the house at mealtime
and during the night makes for respeo-
liability. and good form. 1t is con-
cession to convention. A woman whose
husband is in jail, even for beating
her. is at a social disadvantage.
Mr.. Rogers may complain till he is
somewhat from ordinarily attractive
features; but the wives will continue
to come and buy their husbands free
dom Just as long as they can.
And, down in his heart, we don't be-
1ieve the prosecutor blames them for
It.

CAN THE CAPITOL BE BUILDEDY

Surely the people Of Utah want a
capitol building. We do not believe
there is any question on that point. If
the people, deceived and misguided by
Jealous and envious men. declined to
vote a tax for that purpose, they by
no means held to the opinion that the
capitol was not needed.
Utah's citizens expect to have a state
house some time. They are willing to
have It now. II It be possible for the
governor TO find money enough to make
a beginning. then we believe the state
will sustain him in taking that step.
AS has been shown in the past, there
are several hundred thousand dollars
that can be applied to that work. 1t is
the money of the people, and must be
expended in the service and for the
benefit CT the people. In nothing could
the people be better served than in CIV
ing them a state house commensurate
with the extent and the Importance Of
the state.
Within the next few months the bat
tleship Utah viii be launched. and de-
livered 20 the service of the nation.
Utah is getting the recognition her
merits deserve. The hostility against
this state has nightly abated since
that day when the New York Times
could say: utah is a community Of
criminals"
And the people Of the state owe It to
themselves to help in the growth Of the
nations good opinion. The country ex-
poets this state to have capitol build
ing. Il is the most important act that
can be taken. There is money enough
for at least a definite beginning-the
adoption Of plans, the excavation, and
the laying Of the foundation.
We trust that action will commend
itself TO the good judgment Of Governor
Spry.

FIGHTING THE BIG LAWYERS.

In reading the accounts of the big
steel-oonspiracy cases in Massachusetts,
one is wildly reminded Of the recent
hearing before the interstate commerce
commission in Salt Lake. The railroad
side Of that difference OF opinion was
represented by many Of the biggest
lawyers in the United States. Don't
think for a minute the cheap men were
sent here to conduct that case for the
railroads. The best they had came to
Salt Lake; and they did all that law
yers and very capable men could do.
Believe that of them. Give them credit
for that. And II they lose their case IL
viii be because no man nor set Of men
could have won It. It will be because
the right and justice Of the case was
against them.
There in Boston the states attorney,
with an assistant whom he had ap-
pointed, met the twenty high-priced
lawyers. and combated them Every
man at the steel trust table was far
better paid that both the states at
torney and his helper.
Here IN Salt Lake the strong array
of railroad counsel was opposed by a
lawyer who wouldn't be In Salt Lake
if he were drawing the income from his
practice that either Of those men OPP
posed TO him is drawing. Mr.. Babcock,
Of the Traffic Bureau. helped as an at
torney in that hearing-and helped ef-
fectively.
But the preponderance of numbers
was against the peoples representa-
tives, and in favor of the corporation
side In both cases. And numbers, in q
case OF that sort, means strength.
The average citizen, looking at the
trials. realizes the fact that much dis
play Of force was never called until
needed; and that the fact of the peo-
pies counsel being outnumbered so
nightly is pretty good warrant for the
belief that the equilibrium had to be
established; and that where the cause
was weak, the counsel had to be strong.

WELCOME TO WATERLOO.

Waterloo has asked for annexation
to the city OF Salt Lake. waterloo's
request viii be granted. The city viii
by no means make the annexation Diff
ficult for Waterloo. The means Of add
ing that populous and desirable district
to the city will be made easy.
Now there is still a vast territory
down to the south that should very
properly be within the city of Salt
Lake. bearing its share OF the city bur
dens, and getting its share Of the city
benefits. Part Of it is called Waterloo.
Part Of it is called Farmers Ward.
Part of It is Forest Dale. Some of them
are already densely populated. All of
them are getting more and more rich
in people and possessions. All receive
the benefits Of the city. We believe the
people of all of them can be convinced
it is the fair and profitable thing to get
fatc the city.
Now that Waterloo-or that portion

ATTENTION AND AFFECTION.

Appeal was made the other day fol-
home for a little boy Of five years
His mother is dead, and his father is
unable to give him the attention and
affection" he needs. He is healthy
and OF good stock. He win probably
be an acquisition to the family that
adopts him.
The incident arouses a train of re-
Election. That is what most children
need-affection, and attention. They
have their homes. and they never suf-
fer for food. They are comfortably
clothed, and have good beds in which
to sleep. Indeed, they have plenty OF
toys, and abundant accessories for
play.
Yet these things represent nothing
but money. They are desired. but there
is something else needed-attention,
and affection. That boy is rich whose
father takes him on the knee and tells
him stories. That boy is rich whose
mother has time 10 devote to him. They
need the attention, even in the richest
of homes: and It is the only way they
have to know that they are recipients
of affection.
Give the sons OF the rich the atten-
ton and affection this little orphan
asks. and they have a million-fold bet
ter chance to grow up as comforts and
blessings to their parents. Give the
sons Of the poor affection and atten-
ton, and they repay a thousand times
a day, and with each passing year, the
costly blessing that is iavished upon
them

COMING BACK FROM THE
CEMETERY.

Almost every day as the carriages roll
away from the gates Of the cemetery
the men and the women inside look
back on their relations with the life
of the man who has just been laid
away; and they are glad they were
good to him; appreciativs Of him, de-
serving of his commentator. They
look back on the days Of the living. and
find comfort for the day Of the dead.
J. W Foley. the poet. has expressed
something Of that kind in the follow
ing verses:
I'm glad I was always so good to her;
/ was Just up there IN the nursery
Picking up things-you know-that were
Left strewn about carelessly
AS child will do when she's called from
I picked them up with a mist and blur
In my eyes, and laid them all away
I'm glad was always so good to her.
And many's the picture that came to me,
That came TO me Ger Teddy bear
Or a doll or a whole tin infantry
Arrayed in a battle column there;
Picture on picture of girls and girls
zone year and two years and three) tnat
were;
OF pinafores and blue frocks and curls-
4
Dreams on dreams and they ride me
down.
Column and phalanx and voices call;
And grasses grow green and come sere
and brown,
And leaves bud. blossom and blow and
fall;
She had been six now-and seven-and
So tali-and so tali-how fair they were.
How fair they were and would have been,
Lot grIr. -
her.
It is a little child in that case; and
the tenderness Of remembering how tall
she would have been is one of the most
effective touches in all recent verse.
/ But the same principle can be applied
| in the case of the boy; in the case of
the woman grown; in the case of the
man.
And there is one of the Joys of the
poet. How wise he is-to put into
words the sentiments that grip at the
heart of humanity; the thoughts that
hold counsel in the general heart of the
race. What Mr.. Foley has done in this
Eugene Field did in his Little Boy
Blue" and Dickens did In mis- ''Dis-
missing the School" In lesser merit,
viii Carleton a few years ago did it In
his Fam Ballads" They spoke TO an
audience far wider than that Of the
farmer. They addressed themselves to
the great heart Of the human race. And
If they are denied the rank Of poetry.
they still are loved because they give
a tongue to the throbs Of the soul.
So live that you can "be glad you
were good to her''-or him, or whoever
as you come back from the ceme-
terry.
The Salt Lake herald-Republican. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1909-1918, 1909-11-21

much to blame as are those who permit
them to live In .tdleness.
For the very most part, fortunately
men have to work to get food and
clothing-and all the joys they desire,
And there is fairness in the proposition,
because by working they can surely get
what they want.
So that, whatever the work may be-
with plowshare. or pencil. or pen"-it
comes as blessing, and not as curse
Be glad you have work. and do 1t so
wen that you VIII receive the last
vestige OF the blessing-which means
happiness for you here, and Heaven
hereafter.
