The parade moved promptly at 10
o'clock and il was nearly one mile in
length, taking forty-fve minutes to
pass the reviewing stand. Besides a
platoon of police and about One-half Of
the Salt Lake fire department, there
were $500 union men in line The floats
were fewer in number and less preten-
tious than on one or two previous Labor
day parades, but the showing of work
ing citizenship was larger than ever
seen in Salt Lake. More and better
uniforms were also seen, and the
marching generally was excellent.
Main street was thronged with spec
tatOTs long before 10 o'clock, and all
were seeking vantage points from which
to view the spectacle. Held's combined
bands furnished the first diversion for
the thTOngs when eighty musicians un-
der one leader marched down Main
street, where the line of march began.
The eight divisions had already
formed under the direction of r. E
Currie. grand marshal and F. W. But
Ter, chief aide, and with the arrival
of the band which was divided for
the various divisions the parade moved
at five minutes after 10 o'clock.
Parade Is Started.
The grand marshal was respondent
in white coat and trousers, red, white
and blue sash and black hat with pur-
pie plume and riding spirited bay
horse. Next came d platoon of police
men under Lieutenant r. L. Shannon.
The policemen furnished a genuine
surprise all along the line by marching
with a military air and, as a result of
their recent drilling. they actually kept
step and maintained their alignment,
except when an occasional small boy
got in the way. Next came the fire

Does it pay for boy to leave q

forty bushels of corn or oats to the

to learn how to breed and select his
seed corn and seed oats and prepare
his soil. so that by diligent and

The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1909-02-10

Senator C. G. Saunders has intro
duced one of the few sensible bills OF
the session providing that railroads
be assessed according to the value Of
the property they own in each pre-
cinct. For instance. the railroads
have miles upon miles of yards and
side tracks in Council Bluffs. These
terminals make necessary increased
fire protection, more policemen and
more light. All these expenses must
be born by the city, but the tax is
based only on the amount of main line
track. In this wise township,
through which railroad runs without
terminus, thus costing not one cent
of the public funds for maintenance,
might receive a larger amount OF
taxes tnan city which was obliged
to spend hundreds for adequate pro-
lection of terminals. The Saunders
bill appears to be fair one.

A NAVAL DISGRACE

1t is indeed pity that the clos
ing days of the great cruise around
the world should be married by the
court martial on an American captain
on a charge of drunkenness. The
humiliation of the officer coming home
as passenger Of the ship he so proud
ly sailed can hardly be imagined.
The .soffense is q serious one. While
this is time of profound peace, the
navy is primarily fighting organiza-
ton and its efficiency depends not
alone upon guns and armament but
upon the cool-headedness ana ability
of all its men, and especially of its
commanders.
1t is easy to condemn. but one
must also ask is not the habltual
custom of the navy largely at fault
for this mans deep disgrace? How
many thousand quarts of wine have
been consumed during this cruise
around the world7 Have not the
officers been expected to drink
Have not opportunities been thrust
upon them? Has not the United
States furnished them with liquors
and virtually demanded that the
officers drink in entertaining theil
distinguished guests?
Every man who has used intoxi-
cants knows that it liz impossible te
fix ones capacity for liquor. Even
the man who drank one key of bee,
in order to prove to himself that
he could drink second key. might
find himself intoxicated some other
day after. but few stems. Ones
capacity in this respect is almost
entirely question of physical condi-
tion. The man who drinks habitually
and tells you he was "never under
the influence of liquor" is liar
The case of the American captain
must have been an aggravated one
or nothing would have been said
about it. but it appears to US to be
both absurd and unjust to expect a
man to drink with all Corners. to fur
nish him with wines and liquors and
opportunity and then send him home
disgraced because on one occasion
he tailed to carry it we'll. The naval
standard seems to be that one must
drink hard and often. but never get
drunk.

! CONSTITUTIONAL QUESTION

1t appears that there has been some
adverse comment because Hon. j. P.
Conner has continued to fill his posi-
tion as Congressman for the term for
which he was elected. Whatever
may be the ACCESSIBILITY of having
Congressman assume their duties soon
after election, the fact remains that
they do not until the March 9TH fol-
lowing.
Until he assumes office and takes
the oath, the congressman elect has
mo more moral or legal right to dictate
the affairs of the district than anv
other man in it. For years it has
been recognized as one of the duties
OF congressman to recommend the
appointment Of postmasters and other
officers in his district and Judge
Conner, like every other congress-
man has the unquestioned right to ex-
ercise that function until the expira-
tion of his term. There seems to be
an Impression that the situation is
unique in the 10th District whereas
the opposite is the fact and the only new
feature is that the congressman-elect
should make any claim of right
or privilege until after March 4th.
1t is true. that wholesale resig-
nation Of postmasters for the purpose
of disappointment or in order to dictate

would be questionable and reprehen-
sibse politics and might, if plo5en, be
sufficient ground for opposition, other
wise, the came criticism tina twouId ap-
ply to Judge Conner must apply to

elect.
