Just Laugh.

Just Laugh.
Don't let's get too serious,
Don't let's get too gay;
There's nothing going to happen
To brighten peace away
We take events too sternly,
We grow too grave by half;
The country's coming on all right
Just laugh
Don't NOPE around and worry,
Don't think the end is near
There's nothing going to come along
That's worth single fear;
We take our days too gloomy,
We make our wheat all chaff;
There won't be any trouble
Just laugh
We argue and parley,
We scold and fuss and fume;
The old sun keeps on shining,
The buds bring the bloom.
Don't take things so logged sober,
Just medium, half-and half;
There's nothing gone to ruin
just Taught

THE VETOES.

Governor Spry, in vetoing the Badg-
er liquor bill. did not enter into the
merits of the measure except to point
out that the bill was unconstitutional
and to sign It would serve no good
purpose, simply involving the state in
litigation. perhaps at great expense to
the taxpayers.
The governor also vetoed the rip
per- bill. which was intended to take
the fire and police departments or Salt
Lake out of the hands OF the polite
ians of that city. Governor Spry
found the same objections to that
measure he did TO the liquor bill. No
doubt he would have welcomed the
opportunity to have signed a ripper
bill or a liquor measure regulating
tho liquor traffic. II either conformed
TO the requirements of the constitu-
tion, but he acted wisely In first con-
sidering the question of avoiding ex-
pensive litigation for the state, which
litigation in the end would have re-
suited In the, Legislative enactments
being declared null and void.

PASSING OF EARTHQUAKE.

There is peculiar interest In Mr.

predicted disaster on Mount Etna for
two years past. and was hurrying to

SOUTHERN UTAH COAL.

The government has published a re-
port on the coal fields of southern
Utah. The existence of coal beds of
workable thickness in the southern
part OF Utah has been known since the
country was settled by the Mormons
IN the middle of the last century. but
the isolation of the region has pre-
vented development and less is known
OF the coal fields OF southern Utah than
any others in the United States. Only
few small mines have been opened
In the vicinity Of settlements near
the coal outcrops, and practically the
entire region is unprospected. The
completion of the San Pedro. Los An
geles and Salt Lake railroad, however,
has aroused interest in this area, and
although the railroad is forty miles
from the nearest coal. branch limo
could easily be constructed across the
Bscalante Deser between Lund and

UP IN A BALLOON.

The escape from death OF the six
Pasadena citizens who went up in
Captain Mueller's balloon on Saturday
last and were lost to civilization ror
three days impresses one with the
foolhardiness of these balloon voyages.
The record OF aeronautics Is one or
fatalities. The professional balloon
ist never escapes without disastrous
experiences. Since the development
of the dirigible balloon airships and
flying machines. ayiators have met
with less risk, but even with the most
improved methods of navigating the
air, the daring aeronaut Is in imminent
peril.
Count Zeppelins airship might afford
comparative safety, although the
Count has had a few narrow escapes
from death, the Wright aeroplane is
supposed to be free from most or the
dangers Of ballooning, yet the wife OF
the king OF Spain, knowing the risk
to be taken, refused to give her con-
sent TO the proposed venture OF her
husband in the company of Mr. Wright
Neither the old way of taking a ride
through the air, nor the latest and
most improved method has any at
traction for the fellow who gets a dig

to the top Of a ten-story building and
is allowed to obtain panoramic view

AT THE TABERNACLE THIS
EVENING.

Clifford Pinchot, chief forester or the
United States, will be the speaker at
the Tabernacle thisN evening. He
should be greeted by large audience
for he is a great man. and added to
his greatness is friendly feeling for
Ogden.
He Is a thinker and, we presume. a
polished orator. However, those who
hear him will listen to one who Is cap
able OF making his auditors think
along original lines and think clearly,
for his is a master mind.
The Tabernacle choir Will be pres
cnt as an evidence of the esteem In
which Mr. Plnchot is held by those
who are directing the destiny OF that
body of singers. The program is an
attractive one and. no doubt, Will aid
to bring out a representative Ogden
audience.
