The Sunny Way

Here Is a song for the country.
Wherever its blessings may fall;
There's sunlight enough in Gods heaven
TO warm up the hearts of us all.
Here is a song for the country
With beautiful banners unfurled;
There's still love enough all around us
To bless and to brighten the world
The same love that sings 10 our sorrow;
star In the shadows of night,
That whispers full sweet of tomorrow,
And lifts up and leads as 10 light.

A DIFFERENT HICKMAN.

In a spirit of fairness The Tribune
this morning feels in duty bound to
make a correction of one statement
that it has heretofore published. 1T
personally concerns Professor Josiah
Hickman.
A few days ago The Tribune accused
Elder Josiah Hickman with having
married in new polvqamy, connecting
him with a once Miss Chloe Palmer
who is now teaching school at Castle
dale, Utah. In this we were only par
TALLY wrong, just as we were in Civ
ing the name Of Miles A, Romney as
Miles P. Romney, Jr." In the Rom
ney case our presentations were accu-
rate except as to the mere matter of
initial. And now we have been wrong
with respect to Josiah Hickman. 1t is
true that this particular Hickman is a
polygamist; but when we said that it
was he who had married Chloe Palmer
precisely accurate as The Tribune
would have such outgivings to be, We
now correct; II WASH t Josiah that
married Chloe in new polygamy; it
was Francis. Francis and Chloe are
both teaching school at Castledale,
Utah, If you don t believe this story.
Just go down to Castledale and make
inquiry of either the cooling dove or
the lawless hawk, Francis Hickman.
Meantime it must be comforting to
citizens to know that their children
are being taught by Just such lawbreak-
ing perceptors all over this State, in
week day schools and in Sabbath
schools

SUPPORT THE LAND ENTRIES

a strong protest is being forwarded
by the Chamber Of Commerce of Sheri-
dan, Wyoming. in favor of Representa-
tive Mondell's bill allowing agricultu'
raj entries on coal lands The idea is
to give surface rights only, with no
right OF mining Many millions of
acres of land in the West have been
classified as coal lands and thus with
drawn from agricultural entry. Much
and good deal more is so poor in coal
that it would be Improbable to mine it.
The Mondcll bill, under the circum-
stances, is one of very great lmpor-
tance The withdrawal of these vast
tracts of coal lands from agricultural
entry means that thousands of would
be homesteaders will be driven away
and their settling of the West Will be
lost for years to come; for, it seems
an almost impossible task to get lands
once withdrawn. restored to public en-
try, even after the purpose or ostensi-
BILE purpose for which they were with
drawn has passed or been fulfilled.
The request made is that all who
are interested in this matter should get
up as numerously signed petitions as
possible, and forward them to Repre-
sentative f. ". Mondell, Washington,
D, G. 1t is a pretty late time in the
Congressional session. so that action
should be taken at once
1t is clearly detriment to the set
Element of the West to have these
wholesale land Withdrawals, and as the
Mondell bill promises mitigation of
a portion of the evils attending them,
the Western people should act vigor-
ously and Immediately in its support.

THE PILES STATEMENT.

The statement made by Senator Piles
in the Senate on Wednesday with re-
spect to the appointment of Mr.. Bal.
linger, first as Commissioner of the
General Land Office, and next as Secre,
tary Of the Interior. was entirely cred
itable to all concerned. President Roose-
velt and the then Secretary, James R.
Garfield, were anxious to have Mr. Bal
liDger accept that Commissionership He
was reluctant TO do so. He could not
afford to leave his business for that po-
sition. However, the opportunities of
President Roosevelt and the earnest de.
sire of Secretary Garfield, ovorruIed his
personal inclinations. and he accepted.
The friendship between Garfield and
Ballinger was very warm. They had
been classmates in college, and knew
and respected each other from their col
lege days IL is q curious travesty on
that friendship to find Messrs- BALM.
ger and Garfield now at swords-points
and denouncing each other as liars; and
vet there is not anything to say against
Mr.. Ballinger on that account.
1t appears, further, with respect
to the appointment of Mr.. Ral'tnger as
Secretary of the Interior, that President
Taft had formed such high opinion Of
Ballinger, both from the enthusiastic ap-
proyal of him by President Roosevelt
and by Secretary Garfield, as we'll as
through an official knowledge or his acts
while they were both in the official fam
lily in Washington under the Roosevelt
administration, that without solicita-
tion from any one, President Taft of
| fered Ballinger the Cabinet position
which be holds. There is no doubt. also
that he holds that position in honor and
fidelity. The noteworthy difference be
tween him and his predecessor is that
he insists upon having the backing Of
| the law for what he orders and does
while Secretary Garfield appeared to
think that insistence on having the
backing Of the law was mere formal
ity OF technicaIity that could be dis
pensed with whenever apparent need OF
inclination prompted. And this con
trast also is in no wise discreditable to
Mr. Ballinger
The statement of Senator Piles was
drawn out by some Misrepresentation
as to the means whereby Mr.. Ballingel
was appointed Commissioner of the Gen
eral Land Office. There is no doubt but

their own determination will be set

FOR CHEAPER COAL.

The governors of the Commercial club
yesterday passed emphatic resolutions
IN favor of legislation that will insure
to this city andsothcr Utah points cheap
er coal. The basis for that resolution
was, of course. the wcll.known fact that
unless we can get cheaper coal it is
useless TO talk about manufactures and
other industries and the building up
Of factories that will give us large pay
rolls. To be sure, we have the mine
payrols and smelter payrolls. but these
could be largely increased If we bad
coal at reasonable rates In the inter
est of manufactures and the building
up of nearly all industries cheap
er coal is absolutely essential The
business interests here sense this fully,
and there will be no dissent in any
quarter from the demand OF the Com
mercial club And not alone is business
concerned in tins proposition 1T is also
the concern of every property owner
and of every family.
The proposition TO see that legislators
are elected who will enforce fairer coal
rates on shipments within the State
is an entirely feasible one. Other States
fix rates, so why should not Utah do the
same7 in this, however, the club and
all concerned should avoid what we are
convinced would be serious mistake
here to wit, the formation Of n railroad
commission. Such commission simply
would be, under present control, a po-
litical machine that would work for the
continued dominance of the Church
party, distInctively, at present, the So
called Republican party, 1t would be
for the Commercial Club TO
enter into political wrangles in this mat
ter or to help IN the building up of
any party machine. That work is no
part of the Commercial Club purpose,
Its plan is for a law reducing the
charge for transporting coal within this
State, and to that everyone will neces
sarily agree. and 10 that The Tribune
gives its hearty support.

1t was an ilustrious assemblage TO
which this address was delivered. In

affairs but of the experiences and rec

parts Of the world, But it is not too
much to saw that Mr. Roosevelt told
them things they did not know before,
and made applications of known facts
IN way to make everything fresh and

GOLD IN FOREIGN BANKS,

we notice that by the latest reports
tho banks of Europe have recovered
their shortage in gold. That recovery is
practically identical with the amount of
gold shipped from this country to Lon
don, a short time ago the Bank Of
England was short upwards Of GI2. .OOO.-
600 in gold. This has now been all re-
covered, and n little more, The Bank
of France has recovered in part; the
Sank of Russia has also gained, and
the Bank of Germany has slight gain.
No doubt they will all before long have
more gold than they ever had before.
and they will get it from the United
States under the operation of our new
tariff law.
This law has turned the balance OF
trade that was IN our favor from up
wards of 100000 900, and reaching as
high as $50 100000 n month. to balance
against us. We are consequently rak.
