Reichstag Is Opened by Emperor Amid
Impressive Scenes-Poiicy Is
Outlined in Speech from
Throne

BERLIN, Nov. 30.-Emperor Will
liam opened the reichstag today by per-
sonally reading his speech from the
throne. The speech dealt largely with
domestic legislation, and contained the
important announcement that the gov
ernment has prepared measure eX-
tending the sick benefit insurance to
the working classes not heretofore pro-
tected, and creating a system of IN
surance for the dependent relatives OF
deceased workers.
The imperial insurance Organization
will be modified in important particu-
lars.
Says Fortlfy Finances
One of the principal tasks of the
government, the emperor said, was to
fortify the financial position of the en-
pire with the means provided by the
finance hill of the last session, and
this task would be accomplished
through the appropriation bill for
1910. which would be laid before tho
house.
"Our possessions over seas, in Africa
and in the south seas" said the em
peror, "are developing well. The
growth of their own incomes will re-
lieve the empire considerably of colo
nial expenses"
Reference was made also in the
speech to the proposed extension for
two years of the trade agreement with
Great Britain, which expires December
81, the trade treaty with Portugal, the
French German agreement over Moroc-
co, and the triple alliance which had
preserved the peace for a generation.
Triple Alliance to Stand
81 nourlsh the confidence" said his
majesty, that the three allied en-
pires will continue to act together.
using their strength for the welfare
of their peoples and the maintenance
of peace"
The opening of the reichstag TODAY
was as brilliant as usual. The mem
bers assembled in the white hall of
the palace, those not having the right
to wear uniforms appearing in even
ing dress None of the socialist MEM
bers were present.
At the conclusion of the speech the
eldest members of the chamber pro-
posed three cheers for his majesty, and
they were given heartily. The emperor
then withdrew, and the members pro-
ceeded TO the parliamentary buildings,
where their sessions were opened.

PROHIBITION IN BINGHAM

Some friends OF temperance believe
that prohibition may work well in
some states, but not where there are
many mining camps. Miners. they
think. will drink and nothing can pre-
vent them.
A telephone message 10 the News"
from prominent citizen Of Bingham.
Mr.. otto Capelle, would seem TO war
rant am entirely different conclusion.
MI Capelle stated that Of rs men In
the camp he had approached with
request 90 sign a prohibition petition.
100 had done so without any argument
on his part. Ho says he Is convinced
that out OF every ten men in Bing-
ham. seven are for prohibition, and
out Of every ten women. nine. He adds
that some men addicted 20 drink read
ily sign petitions 10 the Legislature for
prohibition. because they see IN the
closing OF saloons an aid 10 escape
from an evil which Is too strong for
them.
This we can readily believe. The
legislators cannot AFFORD 20 turn
deaf ear 20 such supplcations.

RIGHT 10 PETITION.

Does Representative n. A. McMilin
propose To- deny Co churches the right
60 petition the Legislature Boa favor OF
prohibition?
Ills view. if correctly rcported.' Is
that such petitions are "for political
effect alone" and that they should
not be heard because emo one knows
how many Democrats signed them.
The gentleman seems To- boz OF the
opinion that the Legislature has "a
special duty TO deny Co Democrats
the right of petition.
We would respectfully recommend
10 Representative McMWin that he
read the First Section Of the First
Article of the Constitution Of Utah
lie viii there see that among the
"inaliensble rights granted TO ciu-
zens of this state is the right TO -
sembIc peaceably, protest against
wrongs. and petition for redress OF
grievances AS this right is as i'm
alienable as the right to enjoy and
defend life and liberty. To- acquire,
possess. and protect property. we
believe the representatives of the peo-
pie win think twice before they treat
amy body of petitioners with discour-
tesy on the silly plea that there may be
Democrats among them.
The Prohibition wave is not poliu-
cal Il is both non-partisan and
nou-denominauonal. Men and women
OF an parties and churches are united
i'm this warfare against the evils OF
intemperance. The Anti-saloon
League is leading the movement
everywhere, and the citizens. churches
and other organizations that give
their influence to the furtherance OF
the cause are but following that lead.
Let % be clearly understood that this
is not an agitatlon that looks to the
furtherance OF the interests Of any
particular church. 70 IS entirely in
the interests OF morality. and there
fore has equal claim upon the MEM
bers Of an parties and denominations.
