I DID MUCH FOR THE
ARMY AND NAVY
Colonel Roosevelt has critlclrcd the
Army and Navy by referring to the
unprepared condition of our fighting
forces when the Spanish-American
war broke out. This has prompted hl9 j
unrelenting enemies to ask why he
failed to remedy the defects when he j
became President
B Roosevelt was so persistent in his j
H demands for a hetter navy and a
I stronger army that he was pictured
as a war lord by the very papers that
now see fit to denounce him for hav
ing failed to accomplish more
Roosevelt had to depend on con
gress to appropriate ihe mnner tn
Improve the country's flchting force?
What waB obtained came after con
stant reminders from the White
House. The voyage of the battleship
fleet around the world was for the
double purpose of arousing our own
pride In the process of the Navy and
to serve notice on Japan or any
other belligerently disposed nation
that the United States was ready for
any eventuality.

OGDEN MAN WHO STRUCK
IT RICH IN ALASKA
E J Ives is Just back from A I
with several well-filled bags of gold
He was a resident of Ogdcn In the
eighties, but early In 1900 ho WSJ
drawn to Nome b Ihe stories of the
wonderful riches of the placers ol thai
part of the northwest lerrltorj Then
j he returned to the ' States, but again
L in 1904 went Into the Yukon country
Finally, In the Iditarod excitement of
two years ago, he struck it rich and
when he was coming out of the vast
empire of the north, at the beginning
of this winter, he was one of 45" pas
sengers and one of ten who had made
a "raise."
This means that while there are
those who get rich in Alaska gold
mining, there are many who fall We
hear much of those who succeed bill
little or nothing of the failures. This
fact i pointed out bj Mr, Ivei him
self in an Intenlew with a Standard
representative and we emphasize th
point so p.k not to mislead our ven
turesome young men. who may read
the story of success, and reach the
decision 'hat a fortune awaits evei
daring prospector capable of reaming
ihe hardships of frontier life and the
rigors of an Alaskan winter.
We would not discourage an ambiti
ous young man from making a Journ -
Into the gold regions of the Yukon,
though we would remind him that the
prospects of getting ahead in the
world are as eood. it' not better, in
I'tah than In far-awav Alaska
I WHEN OGDEN IS HEATED
BY ELECTRICITY
The merging of all the power com
panies of tho intermountaln country
Into one organization, and that the
General Electric company seems to j
bear out the following from an east
I ern paper, written by that reform
writer, Mary Sullivan
'It takes pains, and art In the ti6e
at words, to make clear just why a
I water-power monopoly belongs in a
Wholl different class fTOlB any other
kind of monopoly, and no amount!
of clearness in the u6o of words will i
accomplish it unless the reader has
the imagination to see the relation 1
which water power i colng to bear i
to the civilteatlon of the future The,
most distinguished electrician In the
United States, one of the few men
whose unique qualities entitle them,
in a literal and exact sense, to he de
scribed aB geniuses, has said that a
time is coming In this countrv when
there will bo no such thing a run
nlng stream. He says thai every drop
of water will be stored In dams and
reservoirs, and Its fall toward the sea
will h permitted to take place onl at
I nigh nams wnere power Will D sen-1
erated for every form of labor In ev
ery household, not merely for running
railroad trains and factories but for
cooking and Ironing and the routine
duties of homes The man who has
thus pointed out, In an extraordlnar
detail of vision, Just what water pow
er Is going to mean to future gener
ations is Charles Proteus Sielametz,
and his office is consulting engineer
of the General Electric company, one
of the very concerns most likely to be
the fcreat monopolist of water power
ii if monopoly Is going to be permitted.
It Is said that the General Electric
company controls about thlrty-flve
per cent of the water power so far
developed In this country."
Hero In Utah. the day Is
not far distant when the
mighty forces of the consolidate!
power plants will be harness- ;
ed to tho railroads and made to do the
service of steam engines And a
well-posted Ogdcn electrician has said
that eventually Ogdcn homes will be
heated by electric current from our
near-by hydro-electric plants.
Ogden river should have half a doz
, 1 en power plants along Its banks from
the mouth of the canyon to the head
J waters.
K? TOO MUCH PROMINENCE GIVEN
S v PUGILISTS.
That the transition has been all too
jgf abrupt from "Oh, you Jack' " to
try A "Lynch him!" Is the comment of Col
lier s Weekly on tho Jack Johnson I
alfalr. That paper says:
They hove set out to 'Kef Jack
Johnson, and beyond doubt he will be
adequately and expertly got.' This
will be a good deed, but It will be a
mere detail in a story that reflects
less credit upon the dominant race
than might have been ossible. It Is
a story that exhibits the thoughtless
ness of many of us. the coarseness,
greed and toadyism of others It will
be recalled that In July of 1910 jacH
Johnson, trained in the noble craft of
prire fighting, defeated a white man
at Reno. Nev Perhaps it will also bo
recalled that white men buzzed about
him and fawned upon him during his
1 homeward ionrne . that he was met
by a huge crowd, half white men. at
the railroad station in Chicago; that
he was the honored guest at ban
qu'ts. thai he was deeded lands, and
Stuffed with money. anJ decorated
with diamonds. To crown It all. the
city of Chicago permitted him to
open a touch saloon, well knowing
that it would be a very tough salOOtt
They made him think that be was
aboe the law. (Crossing police- grin
ned "Howdy, Jack," sis he swept by
in his law -breaking automobile. i Well,
might he now quote Caliban's gibe:
When thou earnest first
Thou atrokedst mo and made t inucli
ot me.
"Punish him we must, but let US
not miss the point Could not civll'
ratlon have made a better uso of ,
that huge bulk of muscle?"
Tho truth is the American people
do too much honor to Ihe average
pugilist. The majority of the fight
ers are not of good breeding. We
recall the presence of "Young Cor-j
belt" In Ogden a number of years
ago. He w as then on the down track, j
but still somewhat of a hero In his
class. He was In the constant com-1
r-any of dissolute women, and after his
contest here he indulged in a de-1
bauch It Is all a mistake to hold
young fellows of such low habits up
to the young boys of our city, or any
Other city, as exemplars. And two
thirds of the prize fighters will be
' found to be none better than "Young
Corbctt." The newspapers arc some
what to blame in that they give loo i
much space to the working up of In-'
terest In each fight. The reading
public, of course, demands the prize
fight news, but the daily papers could
well afford to leave that feature of j
! the news to the Police Gazette Yet
w bat one does all must do, so that the
press today is shackled to the yellow
I journals. With prize figbtine given
minor recognition in the papers, a
Jack Johnson, by his vulgar actions,
j could create only the faintest ripple
! on the stream of time.

MORMON CHURCH IS
TO AID REFUGEES
Salt LAke. Jan, 4. An application
for temporary assistance establishing ,
a new colony in Texas for homeseck
Ing refugees from tho Mormon colo
nies in Mexico bus been taken under
adv iseiucnt by the llrst presidency ol
the "Mormon church. The application i
was made h Junius Romney, H. S

,i refugee committee representing the i
Mormon colonists In Mexico. -J
Tho first presidency offered no ad- '
ditional Information on the matter '
yesterday Neither had the office of j
the presiding bishop anything to give.
It was ascertained, however, that the
proposition would be considered by
the flrsl presidency and n decision
reached at once. Just when the first
presidency will meet to consider tho
application is not known.
It is understood that the object of
the move Is to Bccure the assistance
of the church In establishing B new
colony in tho 1'nlted States near the
Mexican border, stationed convenient- ,
ly near the Mexican colonies, so that j
whenever a stable government is fix
ed in Mexico, the colonists may return
to their Mexican holdings
In the meantime, while waiting for
this result, it is planned, those set
tlers who are without homes may be
able to till the soli and make a liveli
hood in the proposed new colony The
aid asked of the church Is of a tem
poral character it being proposed
by the applicants to make the land of '
the new colony maintain its settlers
and eventually reimburse those who
assist In the project at the present
time
So fur as ascertainable the project
relates to about 6500 acres of culti
vable bmd embraced in the Arno tract
in ihe rvros valley, about 20(1 miles
