INFORMAL RECEPTION.
State officers and Employees Tender.
ed Reception by Acting Governor.

ed Reception by Acting Governor.
Oklahoma City, Okla. Sept. 10
An informal reception was rendered
the various state officers and EN-
ployes by Acting Gov McAlester Sat
urday afternoon Most of the officers
called on the lieutenant governor and
rendered their respects.
AT . o'clock the heads of the vari-
Gus state departments were sched-
sled to congregate in the executive
offices and make suggestions as toI
what official business they desired to
have attended to by the acting COVER
nor in the absence of Gov. Cruce. In
stead Of discussion of serious mat.
tcrs of statecraft, however, an inter
change OF jokes and political yarns
were made the chief feature of the
occasion. Col. McAlester. who is
sometimes called the "old war horse
of Oklahoma democracy" sat upon
the edge of the governors desk and
handed good-natured jibes at mem
bers of the supreme court and other
officials. The acting governor warn
ed all officials present that they need
not come to him urging pardons or
paroles.
"The criminal court of appears can
see to the matter of letting criminals
out of the penitentiary," said the act
ing governor.
Justice Jesse Dunn of the supreme
court told a story at the expense OF
Col. McAlester in the presence of the
assembled officials.
During the constitutional conVen
ton campaign" said Judge Dunn, who
was democratic campaign manager on
that occasion, "I visited Muskogee and
interviewed the late Chief Pleasant
Porter of the Creek Indians. asking
him to line up the Creeks for the
democratic candidates for delegates
to the constitutional convention. The
chief told me that Jim McAlester
had been to see him and asked to
have the support of the Indians for
Nc Alester as a democratic candidate
for governor. The chief told me that
he asked Col. McAlester why he ex.
pected his support
Haven't We always been
friends?" said the colonel.
Yes, jim, We have always been
good friends replied the chief, you
have never borrowed any money from
me. and have never borrowed any
money from YOU. and neither of us
has ever asked the other for a IA
vor: why should We not be friends? "
Col. Sidney Suggs, state highway
commissioner, furnished life to the
occasion by perpetrating some of his
inimitable jokes, poses and stories.
The acting governor asked Col. Suggs
how the good road movement was get
ting on
Fine. fine, fine" replied Col
Suggs. The farmers are all anxious
for good roads. They are anxious to
be put to work so they may be in bet
ter shape to pay taxes"

HOME INDUSTRY WEEK.

Home Industry week will begin on
Monday, April 3rd, and will be made
as active ms diligent and earnest, ac-
tive effort can make it. The activities
will be under the immediate charge of
Mrs. Olive Havens, president and pro
moter Of the Utah Ho-Le Industrial As
sociation, under the auspices of which
the week s exploitation will be held.
The general plan is to have the
merchants display Utah made goods in
their stores and show windows; TO have
the manufacturers show their products
and let the public know what they
make In this way the public will
have no difficulty in finding Utah-made
goods, for these will be on view every
where.
The association referred to has for
its chief purpose the promotion of the
trade in Utah manufactures Of every
sort 1t is engaged in Statewide
movement for this purpose, and it
seeks the aid OF every merchant and
manufactures, as well as of every
huver. Thus will industry be widened
and given employment, and the com
munity will prosper by its own in
dustry
The week will he made boost week
in every progressive sense. Not only
will the efforts be along the lines indi-
Gated, but the cooperation of the Utah
Pure Food and Industrial exposition
will be invoked, through its exhibit
at the Auditorium during the same
week The two efforts Will run along
together, and each will help the other
Every accessory in the way of decora-
tion and tasteful display win add to
the attractiveness of the association s
efforts.
While doing all this to aid and ex,
tend home industry, the association
will also keep in mind and insist upon
the point that the Utah products must
be of satisfactory quality, Without
this, those in charge of the movement
recognize that their efforts would be
hopelessy handicapped. They know
that Utah products can be made the
equal, If not the superior, of any, and
they insist upon it that these must he
made so. With this as the firm founda-
tion for their efforts, the promoters Of
the Home Industry Week viii be pre-
pared TO enter upon the labors of chat
week with an enthusiasm and effective
ness that cannot fail 10 win deserved
success, We mention this a week
ahead, so that all who are concerned
may have fair notice, and that those
who contemplate purchases may wait
little and see whether Utah manu-
facturers cannot offer them the thing
they need, in better quality. purity, and
soundness than they can get otherwise.

ORIGINS AND APPLICATIONS.

The following paragraph is not in
the least flattering to American scien-
fists, but il has substance OF truth
in it:
American scientists came in for a rap
at the hands OF Professor 5. a. Arr
henius. OF the University Of Stockholm.
director Of the Nobel Institute OF Re
search and originator OF the ionic the

lack the time 20 become great scientific
discoverers. the professor tells the Paris
correspondent OF THE Chicago Daily
News" "The United States is splendidly
equipped with endowed laboratories -
says Professor Arrhenlus. THE trouble
with most American professors seems TO
be lack Of time for persistent investiga-
ton. They try to do too many things.
They should teach less and investigate
more. When gifted in the latter drec-
tion they should be well paid for this
kind of work. The Nobel institute is en-
tirely devoted 10 research work"
Professor Arrhenius is a high scien-
tific authority. AS an investigator and
proposer Of ingenious hypothesis he is
in the front rank. But he is little
arbitrary in his judgment. He should
recollect that our institutions for orig
inal research are yet young and that
though they are on a magnificent scale.
they have not had sufficient time to
make a deep mark on the scientific
world; and further, that in the prac-
teal application of scientific discov-
cries to the uses of mankind, the
Americans excel the world Nor should
he forget the telegraph, the telephone,
and other great American discoveries,
which, after all, entitle America to an
entry into the most exclusive scientific
society. Even great investigator
should not be unjust; but his criticisms
are received as chastenings, in the
hope that we may benefit by them,
and in time even surpass our de-

THE MIGHTY WORK,

Reports from the Panama Canal ex.
cavation show increasing effectiveness
On Saturday, March 11th, the amount
Of material excavated in the central
division amounted to S0,34l cubic
yards; great work for single day
There remains along the Chagres river,
between Gatun and Culebra, 600, 1000
cubic yards to be completed, and it is
expected that, by the middle of next
month, all the work in the central di-
vision, which can now be done, will
have been completed.
We find in the April number of Pop
ular Mechanics comparison Of the
amount Of the excavation from the
Panama Canal, with the amount Of ma
terial contained in the great pyramids
of Egypt. The drawing shows the three
pyramids to be mere mounds in COM
parison with the huge bulk of the ma
terial taken out to complete the canal.
The total excavation amounts to 2l4,-

THOSE AFRICAN TROPHIES.

Not long ago there appeared in the
Eastern newspapers roar from Ex-
President Roosevelt, that his trophies,
gathered in the African expedition and
turned over to the Smithsonian Insti-
tuition, were not receiving the consid-
Grafton that they deserved. No expla-
nation accompanied this complaint, and
the people of the country, not uLder-
standing what it was all about, paid
but little attention to it,
Now, however, comes statement
from officials Of that great scientific
institution, which explains that only
fifty of the thousands of skins Of man
mails sent back from Africa by Colonel
Roosevelt and his party are to be
mounted for exhibition. 1T appears
that Colonel Roosevelt knew about this,
and based his complaint upon it, The
officials of the Smithsonian Institution
consider that fifty stuffed specimens
viii be enough to interest the public,
and TO inform them sufficiently ae to
the trophies Colonel Roosevelt gath
cred in his African hunts. The re-
maindcr of the skins are TO be care
fully preserved. many Of them tanned,
and all folded away in store-rooms, to
be brought out for inspection only by
those who arc scientifically interested
in zoology, and in the expert consid-
Grafton Of particular specimens so pre-
served and stored away.
II is intimated that this programme
Of the Smithsonian Institution is so
distasteful TO Colonel Roosevelt, that
he will appeal to Congress, either per
sonally or through friends, to have
action taken which will give to the pub.

his trophies than the officials now plan.
it is understood that what he would
like to have is n new building, in
which all Of his trophies can be care
fully prepared and all put on exhibit,
so that the whole world may ser the
results Of his valor and skill. Whether
Congress will be disposed to 60 to that
length or not will depend, of course,
good deal on the Roosevelt influence
in coming administrations, for Congress
would not be likely to do this unless
it were officially recommended.

SHORT OR LONG BALLOT?

We note the following editorial
paragraph in an eastern exchange:
Los Angeles proposes to reduce the
number OF officials to he chosen at each
hicnniaI election to ten, the idea being
that 1t will be much more difficult then
for undesirable candidates TO slip into
positions OF trust when the people are
not looking,
There is a considerable tendency to-
ward what is called the ''short bal
lot" and there are various associa-
tions throughout the United States
having for their object the cutting
down of the number Of names to be
voted for by the people, leaving the
way open for many appointive posi-
tions. All such efforts show a distinct
distrust of the popular intelligence and
of the probability of just popular ac-
tion, and thus they show a distrust of
republican institutions. 1t is quite
true that the average voter is not able
TO know personally every candidate on
a long ticket, but. il there is any OBJ

matter how long it may be, he is pretty
