A CONGRESS OF RACES.

The Eastern papers announce the
First Universal Races Congress- to
be held in London, at the University
there, next month. The purpose of the
Congress is to have attendance from
all Of the different races Of the world
that can be assembled, with the object
of discussing in the light of science
and modern intelligence and senti
ment, the general relations subsisting
between the peoples of The West and
those OF the East; between the whites
and those peoples Of variant colors,
these different races thorough under
sta nding, more friendly feelings, and
better cooperation in the work and
progress of the world.
There does not seem to have been
much noiso made about this Congress,
and the proba bility is that no very
great attendance will he had for it,
1t looks as though the idea Of it had
been taken from the Congress of Re
ligions,' which was held in Chicago
during tHe tClun DIAN fdlI in 1870,
which was the first commin Cling OF
tins sort. There does not seem to have
been any practical result following
that Congress Of Religions A number
Of representatives of the different eth.
nical and revealed religions Of the
world assembled, read their papers and
departed. That is all that it amounted
10. Nobody has heard anything about
that Congress Of Religions since, or of
any practical effects following it, The
idea did not strike deep in the public
mind; the developments in that Con
gress Of Religions had no effect upon
anybody, and resulted in nothing.
u is altogether likely that the Con
gress Of Races 10 be held in the Uni
versity of London next month will dis
solve in about the Same fashion. In
fact. less has been heard about that
than was heard about the Congress of
Religions prior to its assemblage in
Chicago. But each has insuperable
difficulties to overcome, the one in
rcconciling religions, the other in
conciliating races. The time may
possibly come in the history OF the
world when this sort OF reconciliation
is possible, but when that time does
come there will be no such sharp dis

wIcKERsHAM's OBJECTION.

Advices from Washington are to the
effect that the way will be made plain
and speedy for the admission OF New
Mexico and Arizona as States. The
reasons urged against their admission
heretofore have been absolutely unten-
able, and futile, even if they should
prevail, For, no matter what may
now be required of these common
wealtbs, il is a plain case that, after
Statehood, they can amend their con-
stitutions so as to place them on the
exact basis that they are now.
Arizona is objected to primarily be-
cause Of the provision allowing of the
"recall' of Judges. But Oregon has
The recall of Judges in its constitution,
and no ono has been harmed by it.
California is about to adopt the same
constitutional provision; and undoubt-
edly after Statehood Arizona will
adopt that provision, even if it Ia
forced out Of the constitution now. \
new objection TO Arizona was urged
by Acknowledgement Wickersham in
his address at Yale University on last
Monday. He pointed out that the con
stitution Of Arizona would be cut
terIy unstable, by reason of the fact
that IT. would be so easily amended.
Tc initiate such an amendment, as the
constitution now provides, but fifteen
per cent of the number Of persons who
had voted in the last preceding election
for Governor, would be necessary to
start the amendment going And then
it would require but majority of the
whole number of votes cast on the
amendment, no matter how small that
number might be, TO amend the consti
tution.
This objection of Attorney General
Wickershsm reminds us that, at the
last election in Utah, there were FIVE
amendments to the State constitution
proposed, and the one which received
the highest number Of votes was car
ried by vote Of less than one-fourth
Of the total vote cast. The next was
carried by vote Of about one fifth of
the total cast The next was carried
by an even smaller vote. The fourth
was earned by vote not much more
than oneeighth of the total. and the
fifth was carried by vote Of less than
one-eighth of the total vote cast. So
that, if thero is any validity in the
Attorney Generals plea as to Arizona
that plea has double force in Utah;
and yet the people here do not com
plain We doubt if the people of Ari-
zona would complain, and if they did
complain, why should it be matter of
anxiety to the Attorney General, who
is moi resident Of Arizona, and prob
ably never will be?
1t is all the more conspicuously con.

NO ILLEGAL MERGER.

Tho u. S Circuit Court for the Eighth
Judicial Circuit. sitting in ST. Louis
has banded down an opinion in The so
called Hartman merger case, finding
that nothing illegal was done. Judge
Elmer b. Adams, who wrote the opin.

recent decision Of the L. s. Supreme
Court in the Standard Oil case as a
precedent governing the case. The
Tribune. at he time this suit was instI,

that so.called merger.
Passing from the facts of the merger
to the results of it, the court finds that
no change in rates resulted upon the
completion of the merger, no pleas of
discrimination were made, and no con
spiracy is proved by reason of that mer-
that after the merger the rates for
transcontinental traffic were precisely

All these findings by the court com

The Tribune has urged the fullest
possible registration in preparation for
this election. That there is full reg
istration does not allow of the least
doubt. In one of ollr appeals to the
people to register, we stated that those
who did not vote last year would he
Obliged to register anew this year. The
statement should have been that those
who did not vote at the city election
Of 1909 will be obliged to register tins
year. The discrepancy, however, is of
no importance, inasmuch as the plea
was for the fullest possible registra-
ton. and the fullest possible registra-
zion has been made.
II is now Of the highest Importance
that a full vote he polled on next
Tuesday, June eth, on this question.
A small vote would render the decision
made, whichever way it turns, unsatis-

pie. Therefore, all qualified voters
should vote, in order that the com
munity expression may be delivered
without question.
We believe that the vote will be a

The Tribune hopes and advises that
every voter shall vote at the polls on

have been no party conventions, no
partisan lineup has been made, and
every one is therefore at liberty, with
