FOR CAUSE OF TEMPERANCE
General Sir Ian HamIieon,
Makes Striking Declaration TOT

was the principal speaker at .he ~
era, Assembly Of the -Presoy 'ei 'aL
church held In the Scottish capitai anu
delivered an address which was
e+ritine declaration for the cause %
temperance. Sir Ian, it VIII De -.

of the distinguished general. Incident
ally his pledge has had a most oenen'
cial effect on the rank and file OF the
army and has given new stimulus
to temperance in both services. IN
opening mis- address, Sir Ian said he
had come there to strike blow for
Scotland. He thought the finest stroke
for Scotland was that OF Bruce at
Bannockburn, when he raised his lat
tleax and crashed the casque of Sir
Henry de Pohun as If it were nut
shell. But he believed as fne a de-
liverance for Scotland was to be
gained by dealing stroke at another
sort OF cask-the cask OF whiskey. No
longer advancing at the head OF the
English army, that cask was in the
middle of their own camp, and 1t was

Continuing, the general said that
he thought that they in the army
were rather showing the way to the
civil population. He believed honest

cent who were temperance men, at
home there were 26 per cent, and
they were increasing every year. TO
put it in another way, the number OF
temperance men in the army, taking
the past two or three years, had In
creased at the rate Of $500 year.
From the medical department OF the
war Office he learned that during the
past twenty years the number taken
to hospital per thousand had fallen in
India to the extraordinary extent OF
from 10 to l, and in England from
2.6 to 7. The head Of the medical
service told him that, directly and in
directly, he considered that the great
er temperance was very largely re-
sponsible for 1t. Disease had de-
creased as temperance increased. 1t
was his opinion that the enemy were
on the run, and that they could afford
to be bold; and he believed that if
anyone could lower the drinking in
Scotland by 20 per cent he would do
more good than by adding another
province to our empire.

YELLoWsToNE's GATEWAY.

Salt Lake-The Gate City to Yel-
lowstone.'
This is the slogan adopted by the
Commercial Club of Salt Lake City to
be used in advertising calculated to
attract to and through this city the
thousands of tourists who annually
visit the greatest of all National
parks
Salt Lake City can, by every right,
claim Yellowstone Park as one Of its
chief attractions, and the linking to-
gcther of Salt Lake City and the Yel-
lowstone by advertising to be carried
on under the above slogan will in time
firmly fix this city in the popular mind
as the Gateway to the Park.
Tourists coming from Chicago and
the East, who recognize Salt Lake
as the Gate City to Yellowstone, can
include in their itineraries the unsur-
passed scenery of Colorado and Utah,
the magnificent cities of Denver and
Salt Lake, and, in fact, travel through
the scenic choice of the country over
routes Offering features and attractions
far beyond comparison with those lead
ing to the other entrances of the Park

PUBLIC MANAGEMENT.

A recent report Of the operating Of
the municipal ferry between the Bat
terry and Thirty-ninth street, Brooklyn,
during the year 1910 shows that this
ferry was operated at loss of S417,-
434S1. The city's investment in that
ferry amounts to 1888, ,626.l5. The
revenue for the year quoted was but
1899. And yet that ferry, when oper-
ated by private interests, was one of
the big paying investments of New
York.
Adding the public loss in operating
this ferry and Of the Staten Island
boats, the total loss to the city in its
ferry business in 1910 was $1,253,-
1925, And yet the city bought these
ferries from their owners on the the
ory that those owners were making too
much money, and that the city ought
to possess them as public utilities
whereby the city would not only gain
large revenues. but would afford con
cessions in price Of ferriage. 1T is fair
ly asked, in view of this showing, in
volving a comparatively simple service,
"CaD the more technical classes of
public service, such as the telephone,
the railways, gas, and electricity, each
requiring the highest of technical ad-
ministrative skill and years of exper-
ience, ever be considered as fields of
municipal enterprise OF this kind7''

the ferry service has been efficient and
honest; but the ferries being operated
by the city, there has been no incentive

SPEECHES BY PHoNoGRAPH.

We see in an Eastern exchange, an
editorial item to the effect that Gov.
ernor Wilson is going to speak some
of his speeches into a phonograph, from
which records will be made so that
the speeches can be obtained at any
place where they are desired
This opens up glorious vista for
the phouograph record makers; for
nothing can be more in demand during
the Presidential campaign than the
speeches of the candidates. Governor
Wilson s speeches are especially well
adapted to this sort of work, being
carefully prepared and delivered with
fine elocutionary effect.
President Taft 8 speeches ought also
to be we'll adapted to photographic re-
production. and his admirers also will
be able, with this new system of ad-
dressing audiences by Photographic
record, to obtain the latest political ut
terances of the President
Col, Roosevelt s speeches also should
be especially adapted to this form of
enunciation is vehement, distinct, and,
we should say, it ought to produce we'll
on record.
But what great field this opens
up for the distribution of campaign
and other speeches everywhere! The
people will be able to take home with
them and play through their phono-
graphic instruments, which are by no
means costly, the speeches of their ia
vorite candidates, and every commun~
ity can have political meeting with
q great speech from the Presidential
candidate as the central attraction al
most any evening in the week. Truly
the ingenuity of mankind makes for
the dissemination of knowledge and de-
sirable things. and also for The ex~
pansiou of the works of that ingenuity
in almost unlimited degree.

ferries, nor does tho city provide for
any such exploitation or advertising.
The city simply does the ferrying for
those who apply for it, and that is all,
And then the city, of course, keeps up
full force, whether the business calls
for it or not, differing on both points
from private ownership; for private
ownership would exploit ferry advant-
ages, invite custom, and would cut
down the payroll when the business
fell short.
The question is Quo that must be con.
sidercd seriously in all propositions to
take over from private ownership the
utilities that may be termed public
utilities. and those who urge this TAX,
ing over should be able TO show affirm
atively that the public will derive ad.
vantage therefrom. AS to some mat
ters, such as the water supply, there
is no question but that it is better to
have public ownership and public op.
Grafton; but as to other matters, very
serious doubt arises, and these doubts

RECONSTRUCTED CHINAMEN

In note from Los Angeles we are
informed that 'inot a auene remains
in the Chinatown of Los Angeles !"
The Chinese Of that city having fully
sensed that they are entirely free from
the Manchn dynasty, and that the
badge of servitude imposed upon them
through shaven heads and the pendant
queue, need no more be exhibited
as badge OF that servitude, they have
thrown off their signs Of servitude al
together.
Not only do the Los Angeles China
men rid themselves of their queues,
but the Los Angeles Chinese Chamber
of Commerce has sent forth the direc
tion that, beginning on September 18th
next, every Chinese employee, clerk,
or agent of every Chinese store in
Los Angeles will be required to drop
his distinctive Chinese dress and adopt
American clothing, shoes, hat, shirt,
and neckwear. Nothing suggestive OF
the .Manchu reign or of the servile days
in China will be tolerated as a re-
minder Of that sway. The Los Angeles
Cinnamon are determined, as stated. to
'set the pace'' by insisting that their
countrymen in America adopt Western
ideas, clothing, customs, styles, aud
methods wherever possible, and they
will do all they can to push forward
this reform everywhere In the United
States, and also in China. These re.
forms even 90 to the prohibition of
the burning of red paper at funerals,

FALSE PRETENsE ON TRUSTS.

The amazing effrontery of the
Roosevelt campaign is nowhere so fully
in evidence as in its deceptive claim
that the Roosevelt candidacy is against
the trusts and the combines, and in
favor of releasing the people from
their the oppression OF these trusts
and monopolies. When we consider the
fact that Roosevelt was the man who
agreed in defiance of the law that the
Steel Trust should absorb the Ten
nessee Coal & Iron Company, and
guaranteed the lawbreakcrs in that
monopolistc combine immunity from
prosecution for their violation of law,
to the people as against the trusts on
Roosevelt 8 part is abundantly evil
dent.
When. added to this, we see that the
Roosevelt campaign, estimated now to
cost s5,000,000, this being so enormous
" in excess of any expenditures in
Presidential campaign ever made
heretofore in this country as to be
dumfounding, and when we note that
Mr.. Perkins, active spirit Of the
Harvester Trust and a member of the
executive board of the Steel Trust, is
treasurer of and is financing the Roose-
welt campaign, the effrontery Of the
Roosevelt claim of opposition to tho
trusts is SO startling as to be almost
beyond belief
When we add to this the declaration
OF Colonel Roosevelt that in his opin-
ion the Sherman antitrust law was
never meant to be enforced, a fair
measure of the 'trust-busting to be
expected from Roosevelt administra-
tion may easily be taken.
The situation moves the New York
Evening Post to the following derisive
bit of editorial irony:
The Progressive party has set its face so
like flint against Big Business that moth
ing could prevent its choosing George w
Perkins. founder Of the Harvester Trust.
Tor chairman Of it's executive committee.
Now, let the Steel Trust. on whose eX
ecutive committee Mr.. Perkins still sits,
and the Harvester Trust, and all the
rest of them. tremble. Unfortunately,
there was one man who could not see
the perfect Appropriateness of thus re-
buliing those swollen combinations that
have done SO much to impair our poit-

ORGAN ON "s1LLY STORIES"

We find the following boiler. plate
editorial item in the Smoot organ OF
yesterday morning
The Salt Lake Tribune's pitiabIe appeal
to some OF It's lesser journalistic breth-

a certificate for yeracity by republishing
the silly stories in prints about the State
government Is pathetic In the extreme.
Which reminds us. however, that a mouse
once liberated a lion.

no appeal either pitiable or otherwise
to "its lesser journalistic brethren in
the State" or to anybody else, for a
certificate of veracity, and as it has
not printed or asked to have rcpub.
lished any silly stories about the State
Government, we fail to see the pathetic
side of the allegation, and can only
judge that the organ has performed
one of it's quite common feats of set

and undertaking to make a point there
on. If the organ couldn Il from time
