GEN. WOODS GREAT LUCK.

Major General Wood is to no the
next Chief Of STAFF OF the L. s. Army;
in other words, lis commandcr-in.
chief, under the President. He will
bc in command, when he assumes it
next spring, until October Q, 1924,
when Gen. Wood becomes g. years of
age-a length of time seldom ap-
preached
Gen. Wood owes much TO his friend
and crony, Mr. Roosevelt. First Of
all, Roosevelt insisted on Wood being
made colonel Of the rough riders, when
he could have had that place himself,
and, indeed, was expected to take 1T;
but he insisted on Wood, taking the
subordinate position of lieutenant
colonel for himself. Later on, Presi-
dent Roosevelt advanced Wood con
merit above many older (though per
haps not better) officers. And now,
by reason Of that advancement and
those favors, Gen. Wood will be the
ranking officer of the Il. :. army for
upward of fourteen years. 1t is "A
pretty rapid advance from an assistant
surgeonship, which is out of the line
of promotion in the general service.
and altogether unexpected. But the
promotion and the result arc beautiful
examples of the effectiveness Of per-
sonal friendship under fortunate con.
ditlons, and an incentive to all. no
matter in what branch of the service
they find themselves, TO never despair

PROVO NEEDS CLEANSING,

We notice in our Utah County con
Temporary. the Provo Herald, of Tues
day evening, an article entitled bad
School Thieves' 1t tells how the
Brigham Young university ac thac
place is very much troubled over the
thievery that is going on therein q
good many things have been stoleh'
it seems, including the holiday money
of some of the pupils, one amount so
taken being given at $l4.5O. Doubt
less il is a serious loss TO the pnph
from whom it was taken. The city
marshal has been called in, it seems;
and still there is no solution TO inc
mystery, although there are plenty OF
threats as to what is gong 10 DC
done with the offender. or offenders,
when caught. Professor Brlmhal Is
quoted rs saying that 1t is nothlng
more than reasonable to expect that
there are students connected with these
thefts. He thinks that ii would bo
too much to expect that among so
many hundred persons as are gathered
Il
the world, there would he none
connected with the school who would
steal. None of the offenders have been
caught, however, although the authorl'
ties of the city have done their best,
Apparently in chagrin at the ineiiect"
iveness of the police force OF Provo,
the same issue of the paper quoted
from has a violent, vicious, and men
dacious editorial attack upon the city
police force of Salt Lake. Ii IS not
easy to see what connection there ought
60 be in the minds of the conductors
of that paper between the two cases
However, there they arc, both IN the
same number, and it is not unfair TO
assume, rs suggested, that chagrin at
local conditions has made it easy Tor
the editor, not daring TO denouncc local
failings, to slop over with respect TO
conditions in Salt Lake, which appar-
entity ne knows little about. Making
the Desert News account of the What
colt case the basis of It's editorial, the
Provo paper states that the police force
of this city are failing TO do their
duty. that some of the police force
"secm to have been eXcrting the power
of their official position to compel the
delivery of valuables TO men to whom
they do not belong standing in for
a divvy,' according to appearances. y
Nothing of this kind is true. AS
has been repeatedly and fully ex-
planned, the police force Of this city was
acting under the direction and super
vision Of the county attorney in the
case refcrred to. This has been
publicly stated right along, and is
undoubtedly the fact. Wherein,
therefore, is there any opportunity for
the police force to do anything by
way of ''standipg in for a divvy' in
this case, even if they were so dis
posed, which, of course, they are not !
The Provo paper is simply following
false light in this case, making itself
ridiculous, thrashing itself into rage
over its own local affairs and taking
it out on the police force of this city.
Which is a mighty poor way Of even
ing up; but if that is it's idea Of a
newspaper duty, we shall know where
to place IT. All that is necessary is to
let It's position be fairly understood.

A COINCIDENCE ONLY.

In its issue of Thursday, December
l6, 1909, the Herald Republican prints
what is purported to be special dis
patch from Washington. d. C. 1t reads
as follows;
Patriotic Utahns here In Washington
are clamoring for invitations TO the
yards of the New York Shipbuidlng
company. at Camden. New Jersey. on De-
cember % at 10 a. IN. More than sixty
applications for invitations have been
nlod with Senator Smoot. and he Is max
ing an effort TO accommodate all OF
them. Senator Smoot gave up his trip
10 Panama on the United States steamer
Dolphin in order that he might be pres
ent at the launching.
Upon the surface that appears to be
mere news item. However, let us
take peep into Andrew Jenson s Lat
ter-day Saint Biographical Encyclo-
pedia, The first biographical sketch
that appears in that valuable work
opens with the following sentence:

prophet OF the nineteenth century. and

Events Set for New Year.

Anniversaries of famous men will be
celebrated this year In greater mum.
Der Of cases than in any previous year.
More than dozen events of this kind
will be the occasion for celebrations
during 1909.
Among those whose names are asso'
ciated with the years ending in '09 are
statesmen, explorers, inventors, musi-
clans and men of letters, besides all
historical events of no little importance.
In 1909 the United States acquired the
territory known as the old Northwest
territory now comprising several of the
most prosperous of the Middle West
States.
The announcements of the exercises
commemorating the Tooth anniversary
Of the birth Of Lincoln on February IL
have not been fully made. These exer-
cises will take many forms in different
parts of the country. Congress will BET

have great meeting in Cooper Union,
at which DR.. Lyman Abbott will speak,
to read selections from Lincoln's works
and some of the most striking poems
about him in all the public schools OF
the city in the morning, and to give ad-
dresses by leading men in New York
City on Lincoln's life and character in
every school house in the evening.
The Tooth anniversary of the birth of
Edgar Allen Poe, one of the three fore
most figures in American literature will
be commemorated at the University of
Virginia, by the opening of Poe mu-
scum and a series Of addresses by Profs.
Fortier, Wendell and Charles A. Smith.
The Tooth anniversary of the birth of
Charles Darwin will come on February
IL, and "Darwinism" is now 50 years
old.
In 1909 was born a man whose inven-
tive genius did much to promote the
prosperity of those States. Cyrus Nc
Cormick, a native of Virginia, at the
age of 20 took up his fathers work of
perfecting mechanical grain harvester,
with such success that his machine is
practically the same as the one in use
today. Since 1850, when the machine
was 6rst marketed, the annual grain
product of the United States has in
creased from 5O,0O0,0OO bushels to 7o0, =
400, 900 bushels. McCormick's harvester
has revolutionized the wheat industry
and made possible the harvesting Of the
immense crops which have built up the
great west.
The same year is remarkable for a
number of other great men whose births
will be celebrated. Oliver Wendell
Holmes was born in that year, as was
Mrs. Elizabeth Barret Browning. There
will be centennial celebrations for all of
them. Alfred Tennyson was also born
in that year, and that event will be re-
membered in England by some ceremo-
ny. Felix Mendelssohn was born in
Germany in 1909, and the musical world
will celebrate his Tooth birthday.
In 1909 Robert Fulton operated the
first steam boat on the Hudson. One
hundred years earlier Henry Hudson
made his voyage of exploration up the
same river, which has been given his
name in honor of that event. Cham
plain discovered the lake which bears
his name in the same year. Their ami
versaries will be made the occasion for
celebra tions by millions. Omaha Bee.
