FOURTH OF JULY.

The day we celebrate is only little more than
a month ahead of us, and after it is all over we
shall once more read the statistics gathered by
Chicago paper and marvel at the fooshness, of our
celebration. There will be hundreds burned and
crippled and disfigured by our barbaric liking for
great noise and untold suffering will result.
Then will begin once more the agitation for a
sane celebration of the Fourth of July. which will
last through week and die out again. That
is it will die out again if the right effort is not put
forth to provide sane way of celebrating the
day. There can be no doubt that the children, the
boys and girls of to Is years old have ade
quate idea of the cause for the celebration To
them it is holiday i'll vacation time when they
have firecrackers and make big noise and have
good time. Far be it from to deny the boys and
girls good time. Rather would we point out the
danger of the present method of celebration and
point the way for better time than they can pos
siby have with the ever-present danger of injury
with fireworks.
First of ALL the day is holiday. The fathers
and mothers of the boys and girls arrange
picnic for their children, and thus have chance
to get acquainted with their family. Or band con
certs could be arranged to take place the parks,
and there could be speakers who might be persuaded
to lay their gifts of oratory aside and talk the
children and the grownups, too of the meaning of
the day. The subject is of infinite possibilities.
and the facts of the day would be grasped and
tanned by all. The Declaration of Independence,
the immortal document by which the patriots of 176
threw off the yoke of oppression might be we'll read
and its words pondered. But first of all. the foolish
waste of money i'll fireworks, the more than foolish
waste by fire resulting from their use, and the Grim
inal waste of life and the manning of the children
should be abolished

COMING WEST.

Westward the course of empire takes It's way
and westward this summer will come thousands OF
tourists travellers and homeseekers. The pTepara-
tons of all the western railroads making ndl-
cate that the western travel will be heavier this year
than ever before. There are several things which
make for this western travel Probably the first Is
the Seattle fair, which will or ought to- draw from
the whole country an attendance which will make
the whole coast country mighty profitable place
to visit Aside from the fair there is the national
encampment of the Grand Army OF the Republic
which will undoubtedly bring the greatest crowds
to Salt Lake that the city has ever had. These arc
the special things which will draw larger proper
ton of tourists to the western country than hereto
fore The really great reason why so many people
travel through the mountain country III the summer
time is the natural attractiveness of the region.
That attractveness is always present. The majestic
hills and the opportunities afforded in the thriving
towns and cities of the new country are features
which are of neverending delight. That the travel
should each year show increase is most natural.
Those who come one year and do not decide TO stay
go back and tell their friends of the wonders here.
And those who come to stay write back and their
relatives and friends come to visit them.
As long as there is room for visitors and set
tiers they will be made welcome i'll the west, and
that there may be ample provision for this summer
thousands of tourists the railroads and people of
the country are already making preparations to re-
ceive them. 1t will undoubtedly be the greatest
summer for tourists that Salt Lake has ever en-
joyed and the railroads will undoubtedly be taxed
to their utmost to handle the crowds. with the
early start in preparation.

THE UNI PIRE.

The umpire is a necessary evil else he would
have been put aside long time ago The great
American game of baseball calls for an umpire just
the same it does a pitcher and catcher and he
Is gust rs much part of the home team he is of
the visitors Unfortunately. the umpire is only a
human being He is not infallibe. and he no doubt
does make bad breaks in his decisions and they
especially bad if the home team gets the worst
of it. If the visitors are handed bunch it is
very unfortunate, but the usual baseball crowd can
stand that kind of mistakes. But if the poor UNI
pre is called upon to make close decision on the
bases, and he is within five or ten feet of the play
it pretty certain that he can see the result of the
play better than some loud-mouthed fanatic on
the bleachers who bawls the umpire out. Already
this season there have been crowds who thought it
the proper thing to "go after the umpire.
though Just what they expected to accomplish by
their actions is ceaer unless, indeed il was to
put the umpire hors de combat.
Admitting that the umpire does sometimes make
mistakes, it is very likely that, taking the year
through, team suffers more than another:
the law of averages certainly will hold good here.
The umpires all chosen for their ability. As
rule they know all the fine points of the game, and
decide questions of law or rule fairly. 1t is the
close decision the bases that stirs up the crowds
And it is the close decisions that help to make the
game interesting. If there were none of these the
patrons of the game would soon tire of it. And in
the matter of close decision, the way to put an
umpire in such condition that he will make
bum" decisions is for the crowd to yell at him. and
to invade the field. And the best way to spoil
great and glorious sport and drive patrons of the
game away is for players to violently protest the
decisions of the umpire The patrons go to see the
game, not to hear Raging contest.

AGAIN THE CHAIN PRAYER.

Notwithstanding repeated denunciation and the
unmistakable pit-marks of superstition deceit and
absurdity on the face of them such chain prayers
this circulating among the people:
The Prayer: oh! Lord Jesus we beseech Thee
to have mercy on all mankind and keep from
sin by Thy precious blood, and take to be with
Thee through eternity Amen 1t is said that all
those who write this prayer, commencing on the
day they receive it, will on the ninth day receive
some great Joy 1t is said that those who do not

repeated this prayer were delivered from all calami-
ties. Do not break this chain. 1t sent to me by
a friend. ! send it to YOU as friend Make
prayer when YOU are. writing"
Then follows: From friend to a friend. Will
you kindly copy this prayer and send it to of
your friends, and see what will happen!"
o There is nothing very Objectionable in the
prayer itself. but the promises threats and condi-
lions attached to its recital or non-recta alb
surd and foolish Only those having spiritual
thorty and jurisdiction have the right to prescribe
prayers for the faithful and attach to them the
promises and spiritual benefits claimed for this
prayer.
To all those receiving this prayer, anything
like it. our advice is to throw it in the fire and to
pay no attention to any religious prayer circular
or appeal coming unsigned and from unacredited
sources.
