THE VT. INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL.
What One Boy Who Has Been There
Thinks of 1t,

Julio Francis Ganmuzzo, lad from
Websterville, who is at the state indus
trial school at Yergennes, at the annual
graduation exercises this year, gave an
essay on "What the V. l. S. Has Meant
To Me-" from which we quote the fol-
lowing:
Most of the boys of this school have
been victims of circumstance; that is,
of poor heredity, or poor environment or
both. What can boy Of eleven years
dof don't see what else boy can do
except steal something.

Oldest sister took care of the house for

try.
Il used to skip school to hunt up what

a dozen times for staying out of school
by my school teachers.
THE officers soon got tired of going
after me, so they told me they would

school the next time / stayed out. The
next time came about week after they
told me. The cause of the next time
was that l was forced to stay out to
get what I needed to eat.
"The Vergennes industrial school, a

1t sounds as though l should have enough
to eat and drink and still go to school;

nobody to tell me that had dishonesty

ABUSE OF LEAVE TO PRINT,

1t is very curious, in view of the
various abuses which are perpetrated
under the custom Of the "leave to
print" in the Congressional Record,
that that leave to print has not been
abolished. A recent instance of this
abuse was that perpetrated by Repre-
sentatiyes \. ]. SABBATH, from one Of the
Chicago districts. In the hurly- burly
Of the procedure of the House, Repre-
sentative SABBATH was given one minute
Of time to speak. He began his speech,
pursued it for the minute of time that
was accorded him, and then had leave
to print the rest of it. Thereupon ap-
peared in the Congressional Record
forty-one pages Of small type carrying
that speech, comprising more than 100,
600 words; that is to say. volume of
words aggregating about as much as
six average President 3 messages.
We should think that that is about
the limit, and that Congress might very
fairly urge either stopping the "leave

THE BANKERS OPINIONS.

The views expressed through Tb,
Tribune yesterday morning bv Pres
ident Frank Knox of the National Banl
of tho Republic, are the same as those
expressed on Friday morning by Cash
ier Thomas w. Boyer Of the Continen
tai National Bank. They are precisely
in effect the same Us tho position taleer
| heretofore by The Tribune. Both
| Messrs Knox and Boyer appear to have
hope that the recommendations Of the
great bankers conference which they
attended in Chicago may have a good
effect in modifying the currency bill
along the lines proposed by tho bank.
ers. We gave these lines in an edi'
torial on Friday morning.
This hope, however. that the man.
ayers of the currency bill, which hns
been made distinctly partisan, would
consent to the notifications proposed
by the bankers, has been entirely
swepted away by President Wilson IS
arbitrary refusal TO consider these
propositions at all. We have comment
ed upon this refusal heretofore as en-
cecdingly ungraclous, and so far rs ap-
peared there was no excuse for such
peremptory setting aside Of the we'll
digested and excellent amendments
proposed by tho bankers in their Chi
cago conference.
1t appears, however, that there was
an excuse back Of that refusal, which
was not made public at the time. That
excuse is that President Wilson re-
ceived kilograms and letters from GER
tain members Of that Chicago confer
cnce of bankers, belittling the import
ance of the resolutions adopted and
stating that the action as reported was
by no means unanimous, and that there
were doubts that they expressed the
real sentiments Of the meeting The
fact that such messages were sent to
President Wilson merely proves the
statement that there are sneaks In all
forms of business. and that a man who
is a natural sneak does not cease being
so when he becomes a banker. Moth
ing could be more contemplate than
this back-fire that is reported, for, so
far as appears on the surface, there
was no disagreement on the resolutions
as adopted. The back fire messages
sent by the sneaks were not of the least
Importance so far as the principles
adopted by the bankers wcre con-
cerned, They attained Importance
merely because they gave President
Wilson the opportunity which he
sought. to ignore as of no consequence
the, recommendation made by the
bankers in that convention

SOME SPECIAL FEATURES.

The Wizard Carnival in this city on
Thursday, Friday, and Saturday WAS ~
complete, so satisfactory, and embraced
so many fine things, that it is difficult
for the mind to grasp ii all at once.
The night parades were the most spec
tacular but the Parade of Progress
on Friday forenoon wns great, and great
crowds enjoyed it. 1t was participated
in by representatives of the various in
dustries, by U. S. troops from Fort
Douglas, by the Commercial Club, by
the Native Sons Of Utah, by the United
Commercial Travellers, and by many
others, and it presented abundant pic
turesque features.
The aviation flights made by Silas
Christofferson were eagerly watched
Tor daily, and Mr., Ghristofferson per-
formed them with businesslilse expert"
ness that challenged the admiration Of
all observers,
The "Gulch" was the scene Of con-
stant merriment, pranks, and fun. 1t
was immensely enjoyed by vast crowds,
and was one of the most popular fea-
lures of the three days carnival.
All in all, the satisfaction which Salt
Lalters took In this carnival this year
has sunk deep in the public mind, and
there is no question of the future sue
cess of this great summer feature. IL
is timely, it is enlivening. it is exhil-
arating and satisfying, The city is
fully aroused to tho spirit Of it. Its
yearly oncoming will be awaited with
pleasant anticipations every summer,
and with the thorough cooperation of
the united citizenship, and especially of
the business men Of Salt Lake, whom il
will so materially benefit, there can
never be the least question Of the sue
cess Of this summer carnival. And
every year there will be opportunity,
as was so finely Illustrated this year,
for public spirited citizens to do fine
public service in this connection, with
out hope of reward other than in the
heartfelt appreciation of this excellent
work by comprehendiug fcllow-citizens
who honor and admire the great work
