THE DECORATIONS, AND ALL.

It is good to note the practical com
pletion of the preparations for tho Ma
tional Education Association IS conven"
tion, which begins in this city on Sat
urday next. There is but one point of
incompleteness, and this can be sup.
piled by the citizenship of Salt Lake
City within the next three days, by a
prompt response to tho invitation of
the Entertainment Committee on the
part of those who are able to accom-
modate delegates with rooms and board.
1t is to be hoped that the response will
be not only hearty, but ample for all
requirements.
In the meantime we may be allowed
to say a word in approval of the dec
orations of the streets and especially
Main street, and the streets for block
on each side, as to the completeness,
appropriateness, and beauty Of the dec
orations shown, not only in the streets
themselves, but on the principal build
ings along these streets. 1t is not sur
prising that the National officers of
the Association who are here express
admiration Of these decorations, and
say they have never been surpassed in
any city where the Association has had
its convention All concerned in tho
getting up Of these decorations are en-
titled to praise by every citizen Of Salt
Lake, for they do the city honor and
are in excellent taste.
Already contests are brewing which
will call out great activity in their
settlement during the sessions of the
Association. These contests embrace
the selection Of officers Of the Associa-
ton, and fixing the place where the
next convention is to be held. These
contests will be keen, and will be
stoutly fought to finish. 1t is sure,
however, in view of the good will
which succeeds the settlement of these
contests, as shown heretofore in the
sessions of the Association. that the
convention will leave this city with no
heartburnings, either on account of the
enthusiasms in the contests among the
teachers, or in the hospitality of their
treatment by the people Of Salt Lake

OPIUM TRADE IN CHINA.

Word comes from the International
Reform Bureau at Picking, China, to
the effect that the proposed reduction
in the opium traffic in China has been
complete failure, go far as Shanghai
is concerned. Instead Of a reduction.
there has been at Shanghai an unre-
strained increase in the sale of opium
At meeting of missionaries in the
Union Church at Shanghai, a Mr.. w
h. Leveson was quoted as saying that
there has been a large increase in the
number OF opium shops in that Settle
ment. There has been more importa-
ton, he said, more sale of opium than
ever before, and there was no truth in
the statement that shops would be re-
duced and no further licenses granted
On the contrary. any one could secure
license in the Settlement for selling
opium who wished to do so. Mr., Leve-
son stated that the representations
made at the International Opium Con
"bosh,' The treaty article which en-
joins the reduction of the number Of
shops in the foreign concessions in the
same ratio as the reduction in China
proper, "was simply a sop to fool the
anti.opium party"
1t was averred at that meeting that
there was no intention of carrying out
the agreement to reduce the sale of
opium. There had been no Observance
Of the treaty in this respect, and there
would not be as long as importations
continue. 1t was fatty affirmed that
those who know the British represent
atives at The Hague knew no real ac.
tion was intended. If the importation
it was call bosh to talk about abolish
ing the sale of opium 1t was openly
stated that things have been getting
worse in the Settlement at Shanghai the
past year. The only attempt to reduce
the opium sales was by requiring that
those who sell should pay license for
the privilege, and any one can get Il
license who is willing to pay for it.
The condition of affairs seems,
therefore, like this; In China proper
there is an undoubted and genuine ef-
fort to suppress the opium traffic, but
in the foreign settlements, and more
particularly in the Settlement at Shang-
| hal, quite the reverse is the case. The
native officials in China have no iuris-
/ diction in the foreign settlements. Ac-
cordingly, the AntiOpium League in
! China calls upon the respective Chris
tlan governments which have control
| of their colonies in the foreign settle
| ments, to take immediate action to-
ward the suppression of the opium traf-
fic within those settlements. Unless
this is done, the foreign settlements in

older, has moro perfect practice and
command of his mental resources
than he had at any previous time of
his life. His knowledge is more cx-
tensive, his experience greater. His
facility for the use Of that knowledge
in the different fields Of application is
easier and more certain than ever be-
fore.
The plea which the British Judges
make for great age as the age OF
retirement is sound to the core, pro.
vided any age is to be fixed at all. a
man who is thoroughly at himself
at eighty. or more, is a Tar more
valuable man in all fields Of inteIlec.
tual cndeavor than at any other
period in his life; and yet those who
are feeble Of body, Or whose minds
fail, ought to be retired from the
bench at whatever age the infrmity
comes upon them. even If it be no
more than forty. What is wanted on
the bench, as we'll as in other walks of
life, is thorough knowledge, absolute
command of ones faculties, good
health, and with increasing experience,
mans efficiency as years 60 by IS all
the greater, as long as his health,
vigor, and faculties remain with him.

AGE OF RETIREMENT.

The question of age as applied to
the efficiency of Judges is one that
has been recognized by all countries
as important, and there is in most a
provision whereby Judges NAV retire
from the bench at stated ages. But
1t is certainty that no stated time or
age Is applicable to all men, some be-
ing good up to ninety years and even
beyond, while some fail at fifty, and
even younger. And so the question is
always one Of personality, rather than
Of stated age or time.
a recent Parliamentary inquiry has
been made in Great Britain on the
question of retiring judges at the age
Of sixty-five. The result has been a
practically unanimous negative from
the bench Lord Chief Justice Alver-
stone, who is in vigorous mental and
physical activity at seventy-six, thinks
If any age is fixed at all, it should not
be under eighty. He points out that
Lord Chancellor Halsbury performed
twenty years of admirable public work
after he had passed three score and
ten. Justice Phillimore, aged sixty
seven, says that he does more real
hard work now than ever, and, he adds,
cit is not so hard" He says that if
he were younger man he could not do
it. There is much reason for this, for

DEADLY AND VICTORIOUS.

The mournful record that we read in
the news dispatches from day to day of
accidents in the progress of air flights
is an accommodating grief to humanity. All
deplore these deaths, and especially the
deadly accidents that come to the most
skilled of the aviators Yet still, not
from these cases nor from any other
reason whatever, will the science of
aviation be halted, until full success
in navigating the air is assured, as we
firmly believe it will be,
In the meantime, IT is good to note
such signal triumph as in the early part
of June by Marcel D. G. Brindeione
des Moulenais, who, as the kilograms
tell US, left his station near Paris, June
10th, in biplane moved by an so
horsepower motor, his destination being
Warsaw, distance Of 1867 miles. The
trip was made in the competition for
the semi annual Pommery cup, which
goes to the aviator making the longest
flight across the country in Europe
from sunrise to sunset, in one day.
during which period he may stop as
often as he likes to replenish fuel.
Moulenais started from Villacoublay,
near Paris, and landed in the Johsn-
nesthal aerodrome, outside Of Berlin, do
ing the distance of GA miles in an air
line in seven hours and four minutes,
or approximately a mile in 81 As sec
onds. He started from Villacoublay at
4 O'Clock on June 10th, arriving at
Johannestbal at 1904 noon, which is
11:04 Paris time, making only one land
ing at Wanne, this between and 9
'clock This is the third attempt of
Moulenais to win this trophy, he hav-
ing been beaten in the flight from
Paris to Berlin on two successive years.
1t is stated that Moulenais selected the
most unfavorable day for his flight; he
landed at Wanne in wind that was
blowing sixty miles an hour. At Johan-
nestbal the breeze was so strong that
none Of the local flying men ventured
an ascension. Moulenais rested three
hours at Johannesthal concluding at 3
clock to abandon further flight; but
in few minutes he changed his mind
and made the start of his flight from
Berlin to Warsaw at 3;37 p. m He
left the aerodrome at a terrific speed,
flying in a gale. For more than an
hour he maintained an average speed
Of 110 miles to the hour, passing over
Posen, about $50 miles from Johannes
thai, at 4;55 p. m, He landed at War

time of flight IL hours and 10 minutes
1t is successful achievements like
this that spur aviators on to further
efforts and to more difficult flights,
and there is no question but that these
efforts will continue until the conquest

GETTING THINGS MIXED.

1t is curious how people who are or
dinarily fair.minded and square dealing
will squirm around and try to excuse
or Justify the acts of those with whom
they are in close friendship, or whom
they have determined to support. An
instance of this very human tendency
is shown in a recent editorial from the
Springfield (Mass). Republican. 1t
deals with the now notorious "white
slave" case in California, In which
Diggs and Caminetti are the alleged
criminals as follows;
The prompt arrest of Diggs and Cami-
nettl following their indictment shows
how perfectly able a State is to punish
offenders against morals without weakly
waiting for the Federal long arm. One
prime objection to stretching the inter
state principle to matters which the
States are competent to deal with IS that
either such debilLtating dependence
must develop, or the Federal laws will be-
come In great part ead-letter laws, TO be
enforced only when there is a clamor.
In the latter case law and politics would
become dangerously mixed. and injustice
would be done by erratlc treatment, one
case here and there being singled out of
many for prosecution under a Federal law
passed TO meet some real or fancied
emergency. In the former case the logi-
cal end would be a centralizing process
by which the United States govern
ment would be called upon TO keep in
motion a vast machinery Of courts and
police for the treatment OF minor Of
lenses properly punishable under local
laws, as well as for those special mat
ters which properly concern the National
government,
When one recalls that the indictment
against these two accused men made in
| the State jurisdiction is for different
| offense altogether from the so-called
S'white slaVe' infamy, one must be
surprised that paper like our Massa-
chusetts contemporary would consent to
what is clearly misrepresentation in
the case. The Federal jurisdiction was
invoked under the Mann "white slave -
law, since Diggs and Caminetti, both
married men, were alleged to have tax
en- two high school girls from Califor-
MIA over into Nevada for unlawful pur~
poses, and the case thus became an in
terstate one, and the Federal statute
would govern.
But the State case is quite differ
ent matter. These men are arrested un-
der the State law which provides pen
alties for men who desert their families
Diggs and Caminetti are charged under
that State law with the desertion of
their families, and are to be prosecuted
under the State statute which provides
penalties for such desertion. The case
Is quite a different one from that
brought under the Federal statutes; and
when our Massachusetts contemporary
undertakes to mix the two and to as
sumo that the State is taking up the
same offense and prosecuting under the
same charge as that embraced in the
Federal statute, it befogs the matter al
together, and undertakes, perhaps with
out knowledge, to give deceptive turn
to the whole case

opium trade, and it will be impossible
