ARMY OFFICERS CRITICISM.

There has been some feeling raised
in Wisconsin and Illinois upon the
criticisms by regular army officers
directed at the officers in the militia
or National Guard Thus, Brigadier
General Potts of the regular army re.
ports that the officers OF the State
troops in the middle west Hare well IN
In the theory of soldering. but don t
know beans about the practical sides.
about caring for their men in camp.
handling them in the field and en-
forcing discipline and supplying their
soldiers with what they need. General
Potts did not say, "don It know
beans,' this being an Interpretation by
the Milwaukee Sentinel of what he
really means. General Potts says fur.
ther, MS quoted in the report issued by
the War Department:
The officers OF the State troops can
tell you in detail OF tho most advanced
tactics OF modern warfare and military
topics, but put them In command of ac-
tual troops in the field and they become
helpless. They ere lost when In com
mand even Of single company.
Which we believe to be a fair and
expression Of fact and
expert opinion.
Colonel Foreman Of the Illinois
militia concurs in General Potts IS strict
ures, saying that they arc entirely iusti.
fled; and other army and militia Of
ficers who are in position to know
and to judge from competent military
training, agree entirely with General
Potts's opinion
As we have frequently stated, the
great waste Of health and lives Of vol.
unteers occurs through the Ignorance
and IncffIciency of the volunteer Off
GERS when volunteers are called for, as
they were in large numbers in the Civil
War and in less numbers in the war
with Spain.
But the National Guard officers
ought really to have a good deal of
proficiency by reason Of their study
of military affairs, their duty Of get
ting practical hold of the essentials
Of military life, and their experience
often io the field and in connection
with the exercises where they take part
with regular army commands in the
execution of general designs. So far as
Utah is concerned. we are fortunate in
having at the head of the States Ma
tional Guard, General Wedgwood, a
man VINO bad real experience in war.

THE BIDS ON THE CAPITOL.

! The bids on the construction of tn,
Utah State capitol were opened in this
city on Tuesday. There is considerable
difference in the figures of these bids
especially on the completed work, with
fixtures, The bids "without fixtures
run pretty even. The James Stewart
| Company is the lowest bidder on the
with reasonable closeness from ono to
another
The structure has been illustrated in
its elevation in The Tribune, and as All
know, it will be an elegant business
headquarters for the State. It is to be
hoped that it will take no great time
for the examination Of the bids and
checking up Of the different points
thereon, so that the contract may be
AWARDED without delay, and actual work
begun.
1t has been evident for good many
years that Utah was suffering IN its
business relations and prestige by
reason of the failure to have its own
structure in which to transact the pub
lie business. This is almost the last of
the States TO take the step Of building
a capitol for the business head
quarters of tho commonwealth, 1t has
rented for the past sixteen years, and
it is high time that it had business
headquarters of its own, The move for
this construction is commendablc in
every way, and there is no question but
TINT the State will be proud Of the capi-
tol afterit is once built and occupied.
1t is impossible for the State TO pro.
vide in its rented quarters the needed
facilities for transacting its business
and store away with safety its archives.
In the new capitol it will have fire
proof vaults where everything of value
Will be safe, and where the State
records from the first will be entirely
secure. This is Il great consideration.
Another great consideration is that the
and arrangement will be
such as to allow Of the transaction Of
the public business with the utmost
,elerity and convenience. II is, indeed,
that great State like Utah
should have allowed itself to drift along
so many years without any lively inter
est in the construction Of State
headquarters. But the delay will be in
J largo degree compensated for by tho
elegance of the structure and the iu-
of modern convenicnces
which it viii contain.
The people of the State are to be
upon the progress being
nade in the procedure for the construc
ion of the State capitol, and after the
,ids are awarded there will be no delay |

THE BALKAN RELIEF CONCERT.

The arrangements made for the
great concert in the Tabernacle or
Tuesday evening next for the relief OF
the sufferers in the Balkan war by
wounds, disease, or the ravages Of bar
harous cruelty, are practically com.
plete. The tickets are on sale at var
ious business places in this city, and
the sales thus far indicate that the
concert will be attended by thronged
house.
Colonel James A. Irons Of the Twen-
tieth q. S. Infantry, is at the head of
this humanitarian move. and he is sup-
ported by Governor Spry az president
of the Utah Red Cross society. and
other prominent citizens Of Salt Lake
City and Of Utah. The Commercial club
is taking an active part in furtherinc
the benefit. and is cooperating with
Colonel Irons in asking liberal support
from the public
The prices of admission are very rea-
sonable and the programme is an ex-
cellent one. The numbers will be rem
dcrcd by the best of local talent. and
many of the wealthiest citizens of Salt
Lake City arc leeenly and generously
interested in the move. II cannot fail
to be a success; and Salt Like City will
do itself honor by taking part in this
concert, and those who attoud will also
be sratificd by receiving an unusually
fine musical treat

MAGNIFIED TOO MUCH.

was evident to everyone at the time;
but in the teaching force il seems to
have made very profound impress
sion, an impression which was not re-
ceivcd to like degree by the general
public, and which il appears has caused
some slightly ironical comment in other
States. Of which the following from
the New York Evening Post is fair
example:
The teachers Of Utah are determined
that the children In that State shall love
The nag whether they will or no. What
Us more, they will have no trlnlng with
the subject on the part OF any teacher
who may lack faith in the efficacy OF
compulsory methods for instnllng the sem
limeDt OF patriotism Neither teacher,
nor superintendent. nor school board
no. not even the Legislaturc-ls TO have
any say in the matter If the recommen-
dation OF the Utah State Teachers As
sociation is put into effect. for it calls
Tor an amendment Of the State Consti-
tuition making the teaching OF patriot
ism compulsory In the public schools
rms might be regarded as an instance
OF that excess OF zeal against which
certain Wise maNimS warn us, but we
should remember the fearful situation
with which these Utah educators were
confronted. Two little girls In salt
Lake City school had declared themselves
Socialists and had refused 10 salute the
nag, a desperate case like this calls of
course, for radical measures. with the
Constitution of the State of Utah reouIr
Ing every public school teacher to ha nd
out patriotism to tho pupils daily in
doses OF prescribed size. II is uniIna gina
bic that there Will be any little Socialist
girls there so wicked as not 10 love their
country and It's flag. We regret to note
that the superintendent Of the Salt Lake
schools was nevertheless so callous as
to oppose the. resolution, and that II was
carried by only a small majority It Will
probably be necessary to supplement the
proposed Constitutional amendment by
another which shall require candidates
for positions In tho schools TO pass sne
cial tests or patriotic ardor before an
pointment.
We do not doubt but that the dis
cusslon will bring about a better feel
Ing and clearer understanding of the
relation of the public schools to patriot.

and the flag. The heart of the people
is all right on this question, and the
sentiment is practically unanimous on
the main point. Whatever differences,
there are, arise as to details, and in the

THE MoFFAT ROAD PUSH.

The people Of this community and OF
| the whole State indeed, will be de-
lighted at reading the special dispatch
IN The Tribune Yesterday morning from

Newman Erb, head Of that road, has
let contract for the grading Of the
first fifty miles of the road westward
from Steamboat Springs. Mr.. NJ, A.
Wogan Of Denver, is the successful bid.
der, and he will at once begin the
work. The contracts call for the grad
ing and rock work up TO the point
where the bed is ready for the ties and
rails, The establishment Of grading
camps will begin the first of the COM
ing week and the work will continue
throughout the winter.
This work will carry the grading
down the Bear river to its junction
with Fortification creek. in the vicinity
of Craig. The junction Of the Bear and
the Little Snake river some fifty miles
further on, forms the Yampa river.
which cmpties into the Green river
close TO the border between Utah and
Colorado
1t is announced that this contract,
which is to be worked out during the
winter, viii advance the time neces-
sary TO reach Salt Lake City bv one
year, and best of all, the letting of this
contract practically assures the com
pletlon of the road through to Salt
Lake, at the earliest possible time.

clares that the property is in excellent

that the Nation is not doing it's duty

up the whole question, says; "For sen.

depravity could hardly be reached by
any but man of disordered mind.
THE GREAT ELECTRIC MERGER.

The great electric light and power
merger which has just come to con-
clusion in this city is one Of the most
important enterprises in any direction
that has developed in this region. The
capital of the Utah Power & Light
| Company is increased TO S40.000,000,
and it has IN view the expenditure of
vast sums of money in the development
of new power sites and in the extension
OF its service. The headquarters will
be in this city, and it is expected that
the company will have its Offices IN the
Kcarns building, occupying the whole
Of the fifth floor Of that great struc-
ture, the most extensive suite of offices
occupied by any company in the West.
The understanding is that the Utah
Power g. Light Company will be the
head of the electric power and light
supply in this State, in Idaho. and Colo
rado. Its operations will be of the
most extensive character, and the eff
cheney of its operations will be so
increased as TO make its effectiveness
practically unlimited.
The incorporation is under the laws
of Maine. and the officers given in the
articles Of Incorporation are Il. NJ.
Leavitt, president and treasurer. and
Joseph Williamson, clerk. It is c1.
pected, however, that this temporary
organization will give place to a
permanent organization, of which
Colonel D. G. Jnckling Of this city, who
is one of the moving spirits in tho new
corporation, will be president Of the
company, and P. B. Sawyer will be its
general manager.
The State derives from the fling Of |
this Incorporation one Of the largest |
fees ever received. amounting to with
in % ceuts of $4,000.
The company starts with clear field,
md with the good will of all the COM
nunities which il will serve. The enter
prise of the men who have evolved it
Ind who will make it the servant of
he people Of three States is OF the
highest and most progressive order, and
must receive public commentator for
he large and beneficial practical form
which il has taken.

ITS MERRIMENT COLLAPSED.

In reply to ono Of its editorials. The
Tribune pointed out that in spite of the
claims Of that organ that it had fully
complied with the law, it had done
nothing of the kind, but had filed a
dummy list Of stockholders. whose pre.
tended interest in its ownership was
mere sham, and We jolied it ND by
saying that the alleged interest was
Pretcnse, closing with the old query as
to chief Of the original Tammany ,S

You get lt?" In reply the organ gives
forth an ill-bred, vicious ninp which
shows that its merriment has ent;roIy
departed, and that il has nothing but
venom and spite in its composition. and
that 1T gives way to those wholly in the
discussion of this question The "whcrc
did you get it, which we asked WAS
an entirely proper question in view
OF the wcll-known fact that those zen.
tlcmen have no such interests in that
organ as was pretended. and that sucb
interest is impossible. The reply of tho
organ is simply a dcspicable piece of
