perating to Senator Borah TO find that
after he makes such fight as be has
made to get an amended homestead bill
enacted into law for the benefit of
homesteaders in this Western country,
that the General Land Office con-
strues the rights Of the home

pose as to the passage of this amended
homestead law that the department
would give the homestaders the benefit

the General Land Office is that home
steaders who made their filings before
the passage of this law are in a. class
by themselves, still held under the old
statute, and that only those who file
since the passage OF the Borah law are
to get it's benefits. All tnis is in strict

COURSE OF SCHOOL STUDY.

The Tribune is glad to see that the
gathering Of city and county superin-
tendents in this city the past week has
given the opportunity for a progressive
man to strike the note Of advancement,
as distinguished from keeping on in the
old routine. superintendent William N.
Peterson Of Weber county criticised
keenly the course of study In our pub
lie schools, holding that it should be
made up in relation, first Of all, to To-
cality, and that it also should be made
up in such a way as to put the child
in perfect touch with his environment
and to give him instruction and infor.
nation about those things with which
he comes in contact. 1t has been the
fashion hitherto in most school instruc-
ton to follow textbooks and chiefly to
impart theoretical "stufhng' about
matters that are Of little OF no inter
est or consequence to the pupil, and
that, as a rule, gave him large dose
Of boredom, Accordingly, there has
been moro or less reluctance on the part
Of pupils to go to school, since what ls
taught there has not been of special
interest to them.

BUSINESS AND TRADE.

The annual session of the American
Institute of Banking was held in the

than 500 delegates. Their presence had
noticeable effect on business, and
particularly on real estate. numerous in
quiries being received from them by
dealers concerning values, and strong
disposition TO investment was evident,
many Of the delegates agreeing that the
prices Of realty in Salt Lake are lower
than in any other city of corresponding

TRANsM1ss1ss1PP1 CONGRESS.

The Transmississippi Congress opens
its session two days hence, on Tuesdoy
of this week. Preparations for max
ing it the greatest session ever had by
this congress are practically complete,
and the public can look forward TO a
treat in the discussions, the papers, and
the addresses that will be read and
delivered,
The portion Of the United tatcs cm.
braced in the region west of the
Mississippi, which is represented IN TINS
Transmississippi Congress, Will soon be
the controlling part Of this Nation. 1T
! is already a grandly influential por-
tion of the Union, and will inevitably
take its place as the controlling factor.
Heretofore the control Of the United
States has been largely shifted TO the
region between tho Mississippi river
and the Alleghcnies. With the ncces
sion in population and with the admis-
, sion of States west of the Mississippi
river, this region is now coming to the
front in a way that could not have
been conceived of generation ago.
But it is all in the way OF progress
and in the westward shifting Of the
course OF empire, OF the forty-eight
States in the Union, twenty-five lie
west of the Mississippi river, leaving
twenty-six east of the river, being but
small majority of four against us.
The area of the region west of the
Mississippi river is much greater than
that east of it, and this region has
the great precious metal mines of the
United States. and has a superiority
in that respect which can never be
sources in iron and lead, and coal,
asphaltum and other deposits; it has
vast areas of fertile land, and the
plains and valleys Of the mountains
where agriculture is pursued by irriga'
tion show a yield per acre of all grains
and farm products Except corn) far
above the average yield in other parts
of the United States.
The northern part Of this area was in
ante-railroad times served as high up
Uue SllSSUuIl as L bcuiOu III -hOuN
tana by steamboat. When the improve
ment Of the river systems of this coun
try is fully made, the Missouri will un-
doubtedly be navigable stream up to
the Falls; and when all of the lands
are put to their best use, the popula-
tion of the portion of the Union west
Of the Mississippi will be in ratio COM
pared with the whole population, the
controlling factor. For, these States
have shown the greatest absolute in
crease as well as percentage of increase
in the last decade, and that percentage
will be well maintained just as soon as
we can get relief from the crushing
conservation faddists whose policies
have been hindrance for many years
past.
Altogether, this Transmississippi Con-
gress represents the great and vital por-
tion Of the coming United States, and it
devolves upon the delegates that will
attend this session Of the congress to
rise to their great opportunities and
give to the whole people Of the United
States q broader vision and q clearer
insight into the future as gagged by
the miraculous progress of the past.

There is asteady growth Of optimism
to be found in Utah mining circles,
which is in keeping with the unprece-
dented ore production Of the State, al
though there still remains regretful
absence of interest in the developme mt
of new prospects. Money is reported
easing, and there is tendency to be-
lieve that there will be a material in
crease Of exploratory work in the hills
during the coming winter. There is no
question but what the attitude Of the
Washington officials in the matter of
locating and patenting mining claims
has destroyed prospecting and retarded
the financing Of unpatented mining
propositions throughout the West.
Stock market conditions have been
very much improved, the lower priced
issues, coppers In particular, having
taken the lead in the East, and several
new high levels were attained during
the past week Utah Copper, Ray Con
solidated, Chino, Anaconda, and North
Butte were among the moro active cop
per stocks, a movement that is eonsid-
cred due on account Of Increased earn
ings aud the steady copper metal
market.
Local mining share conditions are un-
changed. Aside from a few limited
number Of supported stocks. the local
board is neglected. The majority Of
the stocks have refused to move for so
many months that the public can see no
logical reason FOR buying at this time.
The public never really participates in
anything but a rising market, and the
local mining stock exchange must first
experience something to move shares up
ward before old customers or new will
come into the market.
Metal conditions have been about the
same, Copper holds very firm at 17%
cents per pound, a considerable buying
movement for export having been re-
ported at this price lately. Lead has
appreciated slightly marketwise, and
increased ranges are predicted in the
near future, while silver has been firm
above SO cents per ounce. spelter has
risen materially during the past few
days, an encouraging item when 1t is re-
called that several Tintic companies be-
gan their initial zinc ore shipments

students will have the novel exper-
fence Of witnessing a winter foot
ball game here on Thursday when
two teams composed Of the mem
bers of Coach Richards winter
football class win engage in mortal
combat on Camp Randall field.
The game will constitute the
final examination in the course
which the new coach has been con-
Quoting since the close of the foot
ball season, and it is attracting
considerable interest inasmuch as
many of the men on whom the

ball team last fall will appear in
action for the first time.
One Of the elevens will be led

ers and thinkers In Wisconsin have
turned that state into an experimental
laboratory Of wise governmental &C
tioI. in aid of social and industrial Jus
tice. They have initiated the kind of
progressive government which means
not merely the preservation Of true
democracy, but the extension Of the
principle of true democracy into in
dustrialism as well as into politics.
Our demand is that big business
gives the people a square deal and that
the people give a square deal to any
man engaged in big business, who
honestly endeavorsf to do what is right
and proper. On the other hand, any
corporation, big Or little, which has
gained its position by unfair methods
and by interference with the rights of
others, which has raised prices or
limited output in improper fashion and
been guilty Of demoralizing and cor
rupt practices, should not only be
broken up, but it should be made the
business of some competent govern
mental body by constant supervision
to see that it does not come together
again, save under such strict control
as to insure the community against all
danger Of a repetition OF the bad con-
duct.
Don't Give Square DEAF.
'The chief trouble with big bust
ness has arisen from the fact that biz
business has so often refused to abide
by the principle of the square deal:
the opposition which / personally have
encountered from big business has in
every case arisen not because / did
not give a square deal but because
did.
tAll business into which the element
Of monopoly in any way or degree en-
tiers, and where it proves in practice
impossible totally to eliminate this ele-
ment OF monopoly, should be carefully
supervised, regulated and controlled by
governmental authority, and such con-
troll should be exercised by admins
trative, rather than by judicial officers.
No effort should be made to destroy a
big corporation merely because it is
big, merely because it has shown it,
self a peculiarly efficient business in
strument.
THE legislature should make it more
clear exactly what methods are illegal,
and then the judiciary will be in a bet
ter position to punish adequately and
relentlessly those who insist on defy
ing the clear legislative DEGREES. 1 do
not believe any absolute private mon
opoly is justified, but il our great COM
binations r properly supervised, so
that immoral practices are prevented,
absolute monopoly will not come to
pass, as the laws of competition and
efficiency are against it.

that the people will be able through
their legislative bodies. OF, failing that,

late the hours of labor for children
