1t turns over on its axis once in
twenty-five days. The center of gray
ity OF the solar system, including all
the planets, lies within the body of
the sun except when Jupiter and Sa-
turn happen to be both on the same
side OF the sun. man weighing PIT
pounds on the earth would weigh over
three tons on the sun and his own
weight would flatten and kill him.
Light travels 10000 miles per sec
ond and reaches us from the sun In
eight minutes. The light OF the sun
is $50 times more intense than that
of our calcium light and 1t makes all
other lights black by comparison. The
sun contracts at the rate of ten inches
daily, but millions of years must pass
before the earth will feet the effect
of this contraction. But ultimately
the sun will die and wander through
space as a dark cinder All the coal

If the earth fell into the sun it would
instantly melt like a fake of snow.
But for the atmosphere that protects
the earth the sunlight would within
a year cause all the oceans and seas
to boil like pot. The noise of the
explosions on the suns surface alone
would kill man placed within 5000
miles from its rim. Had an express
train started for the sun in 1850, it
would not be due there yet and only

One Of the things which the legisla
ture should do without fail is to adopt
a law reducing the record per cent
in the commission government law.
The dozen or so cities that have adop
ted the law did so with the firm
conviction that the Is per cent would
be reduced to a point within reason.
In other states the per cent is from
20 to s. per cent, the latter being the
maximum. A 80 per cent recall would
be about right and had this been
made N the original law instead OF
rs per cent there is reason to be
lieve taat in some OF the cities where
vote was taken and the plan lost,
it would have been adopted had not
the per cent of recall been practically
prohibitive. And there Az reason to
believe also that some cities were
restrained from voting on the subject
mad this not been the case--Cairc
among them. The Is per cent recall
has been the only strong argument
against the law.

THE STATE BOOSTERS MEETING

The Tribune welcomes most heartily
the meeting which is now on in this
city of the Western Development Asso
citation. This organization, of which
former Governor James H. Brady of
Idaho is president, was formed in Oma-
ha during the Land Show held
there early in the year. and embraces
representatives from the ten States of
California, Colorado. Idaho, Montana,
Nebraska, Nevada, Oregon, Utah,
Washington, and Wyoming. President
Brady OF the association is enthusiastic
on its possibilities, holding it to be
of potent promise III uniting the whole
Western and Coast region for the
purpose of directing the tide of immi
grafton and investment TO the unde-
veloped wealth and opportunities avail
able in the States named.'
1t is expected that steps Of prac
tical nature to give scope and direction
10 the work in view will be taken at
this meeting. The States are well rep
resented, and by men of standing and
influence, well able to speak for their
several commonwcalthS.
The Tribune welcomes these big
boosters to the city, and hopes for them
Il busy and successful meeting. 1t
asks them all to make themselves at
home, and to consider the city theirs.
It is an honor to it to have this first

strained raging of these fires that the
foresters had done nothing TO restrain
that sort Of disaster, by the clearing

this precaution should be taken in all

that forest fires are generally the re

it is necessary to patrol the forests to
guard against the starting Of fires; but
some positive as well as negative pre-

be the business of this convention to
decide upon and put into effect.

ELDER RoBERTs's SOUND TALK.

Elder Brigham FL. Roberts INDUCED
in some very plain and sound talk in
his address in the Tabernacle on Sun
day We refer especially to that part
of it where he said: ''There arc those
within the church who have at times
seemed to think that deceit and de-
ceptlon were necessary in carrying for.
ward the plans Of God. Dom do it.
You do the church to which You belong
a great wrong and great harm. The
truth must be sufficient. To doubt
this would be blasphemy.''
There is no doubt but Elder Roberts
spoke words of truth and soberness
more significant that he spoke them
IN the Tabernacle in the face Of n
Tabernacle congregation. They may be
considered In way as a continua ton
in even more pronounced form of the
address made heretofore by President
Francis NJ. Lyman of the Twelve. in
his speech of last fall in Idaho, where
h denounced those in the church who
had been betraying and decciving
women, and said that 'This skull
duggery must cease
1t is a decidedly healthful symptom
TO see prominent speakers in the Nor.
mon church in public and prominent
places give utterance to such words
as those spoken in the Tabernacle on
Sunday by Elder Roberts, and those
spoken in Idaho by President Lyman.
1t is distinctly gain to public good
faith and morals to have such
utterances made, and it is especially
good for the conscience TO have such
admissions of wrongdoiDg accompanied
with the excavations appropriate TO
them applied in force and direct judg.
ment. When the day comes when this
sort of talk will be universal, and will
be the tone of the authorities through
out, in place of the contrary as
specified by E.der Roberts, then indeed
will there be the full light Of new
and better day in Utah.
