ENcAMPMENT NOTES.

Five thousand people a day were con-
Quoted through the Temple grounds.
Every courtesy was paid them, and the
thing about which they were most Curl
Gus of all salt Lakes possessions didn't
prove a disappointment.
Many an old soldier cooled his feet
in the running water at the curbs in
the pauses Of his march on Wednes-
day. They will never forget that fea-
ture of the city which latest entertained
them.
1t was the first time the soldiers ever
were able to countermarch on one street.
Never housekeeping when they
marched in Pennsylvania avenue in
Washington-have individuals in the
ranks been able TO see their own COM
rades marching. And they like it.
There was an endless succession of
interesting stories of reunions. It is
unfortunate that they could not be pre-
served in permanent form. For in no
other phase of the whole weeks activ-
tiles was there so great a demonstra-
ton of accident contributing to the
happiness of men.
Incidentally, the town was on its good
behavior The saloons are said to have
been busy. But there was very little
drunkenness. And that form of cele-
bration was confined to the legion that
doesn't wear the bronze button.
In thanking the men who helped to
bring the encampment to Salt Lake
Governor George A. Black should not
be forgotten-and he viii not. He con-
tributed a very valuable service-both
then, and to the end Of the meeting.
Free baths were given many old SOL
diers at the Y. NJ. c. A. And that was
one Of the many little things which
helped to win favor for Salt Lake in the
estimation Of the veterans.
Five theaters filled to the doors every
night is a record of which any city of
a hundred thousand may we'll be proud.
And that is what Salt Lake has seen
in the week just closing. Furthermore,
the people who attended the shows re-
port themselves as mighty pleased.
Here is a funny thing: Two different
men declare they were cured of eczema
by their bath in the lake. That is a
new one. But it may be a suggestion
of value
Throughout the week strangers have
kept off the open end of street car plat
forms. So that it becomes evident the
fellow who forgets to leave "gangway"
is a local character-and ought to be
suppressed.
Good pictures Of the living flag should
be on sale in day or two. That was
a spectacle never to be forgotten.

THE WAY TO IRRIGATION.

If these gentlemen who attend irri-
cation congresses. and the other gentle
men who read what happens at such
places, do not quit quarrelling about
methods, the task of watering the desert
will be difficult
Some insist that private corporations
and individuals be permitted to build
reservoirs and construct bitches: others,
that the government withdraw all water
reserves. and hold them for later de-
velopment by national initiative.
But there is reason to believe the
parching earth doesn't care a great deal
whether water reaches it through a pri-
vate or a government ditch. And if the
desert can be made to bloom any
quicker by encouraging private capital
to utilize the blessings of the streams,
then all hail to private capital And
if the government has fully conceded
that putting water on the land is a
work Of immediate necessity, then let
the government go ahead.
Utah, for example, isn't over and
above particular. The only requirement
of our people is that the water be sup
piled to the land-that the land may
bear foodstuffs and fruit-to the feed
ing of the nation.

BEVERIDeE cUssED HARD.

An interesting story told by the wash
ingtOn correspondent Of the Cincinnati
Times-Star recalls the fact that Sena-
tor Albert J. Beveridge Of Indiana once
lived in Kansas. After the future sena-
tor had finished school he went north
and worked in a logging camp, and then
decided to come to the Sunflower state.
He was persuaded to stop at Dighton,
and there entered the real estate bust
ness. One day there was trouble at
DightOn and a necktie party was being
arranged for a certain offender. Bever-
idge mounted a dry goods box and talked
the lynchers out Of the idea, literally
saving the intended victims life.
The Times-Star story gives Beveridge's
version:
What was your hardest struggle in
life, SENATOR Mr.. Beverage was asked
one day.
ITO quit cussing," said he; Il learned
how to swear hard enough to impress
the lOggers, and IL was years before I
could break myself of the habit. But
It helped save my life one time. I was
in a little cow town in western Kansas
when a mob undertook to lynch a drunk
en- man for stealing a mule. I believed
him innocent, and I managed TO out
cuss the crowd. And then the man who
preferred the charge came after me and
/ cussed him out so that ne put his gun
back in his holster and went away"

THE HERALp.REPuRLIcAN.

1t viii be the aim Of the new paper to
deserve the approval of all good people.
For the judgment of others we are not
greatly concerned.
We believe that salt Lake is destined
to be the most populous city from the
Missouri river to the Pacific. The land
and the mines and the men are here.
Time will furnish the only required fac
tor. The paper that can fifty represent
such people and such a country must
be progressive in the best sense OF that
term. 1t must reflect always the best in
the community. 1t must oppose the
worst. 1t must be truthful, and fear
less, aud clean. Readers may be as
sured The Herald Republican will an
swer that demand.
Only one purpose inspires endeavor
here. and that is the advancement of
our state to the splendid place where
the God Of Nations prepared it to stand
We hold there rests in the soil and the
niines and the manhood of Utah all the
elements needed for the making OF a
state greater in population than any
other west of the river, bigger in pro-
ductiVeness, and more effective in ex-
pressing the essentials of American
manhood. And there can be no prouder
work than assisting in realizing to the
fullest those matches potentialities.
In politics, this will be a Republican
paper. The spirit OF fairness which has
characterized both the Inter Mountain
Republican and the Salt Lake Herald
will be preserved. And no deserving
man shall suffer in these columns be-
cause OF his politics. or his religion.
With a high regard for the people of
this community, with a deep apprecia-
ton OF the opportunity afforded by this
new and vastly strengthened paper,
with a sincere desire to serve the pub
lie honestly and well, we advance con-
fidently on the new field. asking no
favors we do not deserve, and fairly
sure Of getting whatever we may earn.

WHAT KIND OF IMMIeRANrsq

In another column appears an ad-
mirable poem by Herbert Kaufman, a
contributor to The BoOkman. It is en-
titled 1.-THE Stainless Banner and it ex-
presses the question: What kind of i'm
migrants should be welcomed by the
United States?"
There is nothing ungracious in the
poem. True, the grade of foreign con-
tribution to Americas citizenship is not
so high as it was hundred years ago.
But there is this similarity: The quality
Of enterprise is found in both cases.
Those venturesome heroes who left Eng
land or Germany or Holland or France
for the new land may have brought
money. Most Of them were men of fair
fortune. But what was Of more worth
to the new nation they helped to build
was their enterprise, their progressive
ness. their power of initiative.
And that quality is found in the i'm
migrant of today. The very fact that
he is here is proof of it, Fellows with
out it remain at home, and bear the
ills they have"
Maybe the immigrant himself will not
be especially helpful. But his children
are better. The Irish who came over
in the fifties We're far from pleasant to
look upon. But there is not finer race
in the world, and none better looking,
than The sons and daughters of those
rough old Celts-who got here just in
time for war-and bore their brave part
in it.
America will do her duty to the immi-
grant. And experience proves the i'm
migrant win be loyal to the land that
receives him.

In all the strength and vigor and eff
fectiveness of young manhood, they
moved until all became as one. And
the regiment was unit.
And now all have dropped away. a
man at a time, till this veteran re-
manned alone Of all the thousand.
How many regiments have vanished
utterly? How many have sunk under
shot and she'll, or the sabre's stroke,
or withered away in the hospital, or
closed eyes and crossed hands in the
quiet Of peaceful days when the home
succeeded the strife of wartime?
One by one they have vanished. But
the lesson of their lives will remain
when the last survivor of all the regi-
ments shall have passed away.

is THE SOLDIER sUPREME2

For a year Salt Lake has been pre-
pairing to receive and entertain the sol
diers. For a week our people have We'd
with each other giving honor to SOL
disrs. On Wednesday men and women
quit cheering the marchers-to weep!
The fife and drum made better music
than choirs of angels ever voiced on
perfumed night" And the bands that
played martial strains were in demand
ell the time.
Yet the war in which these soldiers
engaged closed over forty years ago.
Is there any association in the coun-
try, from ocean to ocean. that could
bring together so many men? Is there
any organization for which salt Lake
would give so much money-whether or
not the dollars ever came back? Could
scholars have walked the enthusiasm
that greeted those veterans? Suppose
all the richest men in the nation-the
men Of whose multiplied millions we
all read-had gathered at the monument
and walked down to Seventh South.
Would they have made the deep impress
sion on heart and soul that was made
by the men who once were soldiers?
Does a carriage draw as much at
tention as a common? VIII an armful
Of dividend-paying mining stock catch
the eye as quickly as does a musket, or
a drawn sword? Does the best-dressed
man in the country win the favor that
IS assured the genuine soldier in a uni
form?
At the peace congress in Mohonk last
May there was a surfeit Of dove-taIk.
Eloquence disarmed the nations, and
epigram demolished the Notifications.
There was nothing but plowshares and
pruning hooks in the workshops of the
world. And good men slept through the
sessions, while women talked to each
other of salads. and how they made
their gowns. All Of a sudden a little
minister got up and said:

his speech they were cheering him. At
the close he had the whole peace con-
vention standing up and yelling for

membered about The Hague was that

giant who can be summoned TO mag

The war spirit has been in the world
since the first two men fronted each
other. And it seems likely to remain
till the last two shall have settled their
differences.

swers to Mr.. Jerome could not have
come from a mind unbalanced. There
was a degree of mental swiftness and
intellectual strength in his conduct of
himself throughout the trial which can
not be consistently taken as evidence of
insanity. He is a fairly clever man.
Thaw has never contended that he
was insane the day before he shot
White, nor that he was mentally in
capable the day afterward. He was
sane then, on his own declaration. He
is as sane now. But no one win pre-
tend that he is more sane now than he
was then. Nothing has happened in
these months to make him more respon-
sible.
And nothing has happened to make
him morally a better man. No court,
representing civilization-and that is
what courts should do-can say that
Thaw- would not return to his habitual
course Of immorality-to a life precisely
like that he followed before the murder
If he should do so, no community has
assurance that he viii not again become
insane, and take the life of some other
man. Therefore, and on his own show
ing, it is not wise to restore him to lib
erty.
Stanford White was a valuable man.
Immoral he certainly was, but he gave
some compensation. He helped to beau
tify the world, to build and to perpet-
uate worthy ideals in structures that
viii stand for a century. It would be
a sad commentary on civilizations
ability to protect itself if that man
should be erased by a worthless, a NOR
ally depraved and a mentally unbal-
anced man. and then after two years
that murderer should become a hero
trtumphantly released-and thus be-
come the preferred type of twentieth
century manhood.
The court did right. Thaw should
spend his life in prison.

MUSIC IN SAND AND STONE.
Scientists Explain Apparently Super
natural Sounds.
philadelphia Record.)

Mans love of the marvellous and mys-
FERROUS has been gratified by discovery,
at various places and epOchs, of stones
and sand from which issued sounds ap-
parently from supernatural origin. The
phenomena exhibit so great a variety
that the vocal stones may be separated
into a number of distinct classes.
One of the most remarkable Of these
groups is exemplified by a sand hank
about sixty feet high, or the southwest
coast of the island of Hawaii Accord
ing to W. r, Trink tone like that Of
a melodeon is produced by moving the
hand I'm a circle through the loose sand.
If the observer kneels, with both hands
in the sand and slides down the bank
the sound becomes louder and louder
until it resembles distant thunder and
alarms horses tethered near by. The
Ioudest sound was produced when u ma
tive dragged him by the heels down the
bank, carrying a large quantity Of sand
down with him.
DR.. James Blake discovered by exam
lining with microscope thin sections of
the grains, which are of volcanic origin.
that each grain was perforated by
narrow canal which, as a rule was
closed at one end. These peculiarly
formed grains of sand appear to act as
resonators, the air inelosed in them be-
ing brought into vibration by the mu-
tual friction Of the grains. When the
sand is damp the sound is not produced.
because the friction is diminished and
many of the tabular cavities are filled
with water.
The singing sands of Mount Sanai
probably admit Of a similar explara-
ton. Wellsted describes the sand as
yielding beneath the feet of a Bedouin
climbing up the slope, not flowing down
in a continuous stream, but breaFing
away in large masses. At first the sound
resembled the faint tones of an Aeo.ian
harp stirred by a gentle breeze, but as
the motion became more rapid the sound

THE ENHANCEMENT AT SALT


Old soldiers and their friends declare
they viii always gratefully remember
Salt Lake, and their experiences here
during the forty-third annual encamp-
ment. They are glad they came to
this city. That is the general judgment
of the men whose good opinion the
people Of Utah desired 70 win.
Some experiences Of other cities have
been unknown here. No one needed to
walk the streets at night this year.
There were beds for every one, and
plenty to eat. And there were no rob
Der prices. Here and there a man may
complain, but investigation has always
shown that misunderstanding and not
extortion was the cause of it. Every
responsible man and woman here, every
one who represented anything definite
in Salt Lake, has sought above all
things 10 make the stay of the visitors
pleasant; to care for their comfort; to
supply their reasonable wants, and to
illustrate in this company the uniform
Utah courtesy to all strangers.
We think the people of salt Lake are
to be commended. They have proved
that no crowd can embarrass them
There was a general cooperation of
hOuseholders with the managing COM
mittees No discomfort was permitted
to stand IN the way of that service
which all felt was due to those who
came to the city during encampment
week. So that, at their homes, on the
cars, in the streets-everywhere the
general effort has been to entertain.
And the people have been successful.
And the Grand Army men have ae-
quilted themselves admirably. They are
men Of advanced age, but they have
marched, they have deliberated, they
have achieved, with an energy and
wisdom not excelled by any one. They
have given a great and appreciated les
son TO Utah. They have helped the
spirit of national loyalty in this noun
tain state. They have given vitality to
patriotism because here have been ten
thousand me who made definite express
sion of it on the field Of battle
The good word of these men and the
women who came with them will be
worth much money to Utah, and to the
cities of the state.

THAw AND CIVILIZATION.

The young man who killed Stanford
White and then defended himself with
the plea Of insanity, has been taken at

back to the asylum-to the prison for
Insane criminals.

tried him. he is probably as sane as the
average resident of New York. His an

"euEss I'm ALL THAT'S Left

Two old soldiers met. and as they
shook hands one asked for another COM
rade whom both had seen at previous
encampments.
Hes gone" said the other soldier.
Il guess I'm all that's left of my regi-
ment."
That is an immensely impressive
statement. The last one of a thousand
men who marched and slept and fought
side by side! They were bound together
by the closest ties possible to ina CINE.
