Mr.. Wells takes the View that the

All these improvements are causing

over the bright outlook.
But Twenty fourth street is not the
only section of the city where improve

This utter lack of any care for the

nasium and a place for proper amuse-
ments was the strongest and most
vital factor In awakening an interest
In the campaign for the bond Issue for
a new high school building. The prom
lse was made TO the boys and friends
of the high school, over and over, that
ample provision would be made In
the new building for a gymnasium
that could be used evenings as we'll
as through the school hours. Consult
the printed interviews and published
statements from the school authorities
to verify this and ask the boys of tie
high school II such was not their I'M
derstanding.
No grosser violation by school Of
fcials has ever been made than In
the failure on the partsof the Board of
Education to provide for gymnasium
with a part of the funds realized for
the bonds voted through such an un-
derstanding. All over this country
there are school buildings costing
from $4,000 to 100000 or more in
which gymnasiums are provided and
are used, as was promised to the Og-
den high school boys.
This Is only one more case Of the
boys being blamed and censured for
going to resorts Of evil effect to which
they have been driven by inefficient
officials and a sleeping public. Be
fair with the boys, Do not drive them
out of the only places they have In
which to congregate and be boys, but
do the right thing. Drive out the
school and city officials who are re-
sponsible for this condition and put In
officials who will provide attractive
and proper places TO draw and win
the boys away from the undesirable
resorts.

VERGlNG ON WAR.

State Senator Richard J. Welch OF

Francisco. Monday, to the effect that,
a short time ago, there was danger OF
conflict between two great naval
powers of the Pacific.
There is only one Interpretation 10

and. therefore. we have the fact dis
closed that Japan SO Indignantly re-

measure before the California Iegisla-

Does 1t not look as though Japan
has a chip on its shoulder and is
somewhat too much inclined TO resort
to the guns OF her fleet and army IN
settling misunderstanding?
II Senator Welch is correctly quoted
and II he has clear idea of what
would have occurred had Japan been
insulted by one of the states OF the

peace but for war.
