I : 4 G O O D W I N-'S WEEKLY. Hl the labor of others, or to the lusty vagabond H who, under tho guiso of a right to free speech, Hj speaks treason and anarchy; no gentle treat- JH, ment is due, for a free people have the right Hl of self protection, and society has a right to H rest in security against those who proclaim their H rJght to overthrow it. B Imports, Exports And The Gold Drain ON tho twentieth of last month Senator Stnoot , made a little speech in the senate which de- Hl serves careful study. The substance, condensed, H is that during May of this year imports into H this country aggregated $1G3,G3,38G, an, increase H over tho imports of May, 1913, of $29,913,073. Tho H exports in May of this year amounted to $137,- H 400,572, a decrease of $33,040,228, compared with N May, 1913. Taking imports and exports together Hi they show a loss against our country for tho H month of $03,502,901, as against May of last year. H For Am-il and May v this loss compared with the H same lonths of 1913 amounts to $127,453,750. H The increased imported goods show how much H money our country took from American labor H and paid to foreign l.ibor. H Respite the great decrease in the rate of H duties, our custom receipts in the first eighteen H days of Juno increased $1,019,G15.09 over the H same days in Juno, 1913. Then a tablo of the H articles on which the Increased imports were H composed is given and they nearly all are H the products of labor. The increase of lace and H lace trimmings was 101 per cent; tanned skins H 401 per cent; woollen clothes 308 per cont. H Then the senator read an sxtract from the H "Washington Post tolling of a mighty transfer of H gold from tho sub-treasuries to New York and ex- H plaining that the transfers were made because H that ' for the past six weeks the country has been H loBing gold to Europe on a largo scale. Smce H May 1st $53,000,000 has gone out; sinco tho bo- B ginning of tho year $60,000,000." The final ques- H tion of tho senator was, "What is to come of it H Sonator Ilollis tried to break tho force of the H statement by saying that "tho movement of gold H was a very delicate matter and governed entirely fm, by the rate of exchange." H That is true when conditions are normal, but H when one nation owes another a debt which H must bo paid, thon the rule is suspended and it H is as when one individual owes another. H The only chance that tho Democracy has of H holding its (majority in tho house of representa- B tives after .March 4th, 1915, lies in the income H and corporation tax receipts, and tho rush of H this year's harvests to the old world. To this H may ho added tho number of votes Colonel Roose- B velt can draw away from the Republican party. H Our West IT will be a good thing for tho people of tho east when they learn that tho west of their H own country is a far bettor summer resort than B the can find on their own sea shore, or in re- M peated visits to the Old 'World. H Here in iSalt Lake City they can find more H than in all Europe. H We havo Salt Lake and "Utah Lake, each with- H in a few minutes' ride. H Wo have Pinocrest, where in an hour's H ride from tho center of tho city, all Uie clamor B& of the city, and tho heat aro shut out, and all H is peaceful and cool when the valley is sweating. H A fow hours' ride will take the stranger to B Brighton or up Ogden canyon where fires aro H needed each summer night. In hearing of the BB city are 'tho echoes of one of tho great Indus- ' trial enterprises of the world, something finer H than can he found in all Europe with Us thou- Vf sand years of effort, to produce. m ' Wo aro the half-way (house between Yellow- HKL. stone park and tho Grand canyon and only two days' ride from either. W have hospitals, schools, churches, hotels and leatres equal to the very best. God's un beams flood tho valley and down from the snows on tho near mountain tops and up from the lake, the breezes that come to us aro a tonic liko old wine. And this is but one place; tho west is filled with thorn and the people of the east who will not como to see for themselves, aro subjects for pity to us all. The Rainbow (Scon from a small valley surrounded Iby lofty mountain,.) No mortal saw it coming. All at once it shone on high, Its base was on tho onountain tops; its bright arc 'gainst the sky. There, panoplied in splendor, it seemed to stand r.lone, Supporting with its mighty arch, the clouds and heavenly dome. Hushed beneath tho valley rested, o'en tho vagrant winds were still, While the wondrous apparition stretched out from hill to hill; The great pines of the mountains, ceased thoir mighty tops to nod, And stood in reverence profound, as angels stand near God. Tho birds forgot to warble, the insects ceased their hum, And wondering man was silent, as if o'er awed and dumb. All nature seemed entranced, by some magic influence chained, As poised in its magnificence, the seven-ribbed arch remained. Wrapt I stood, nor once remembered Low cold philosophy Made of sunbeams and of rain drops all that glory .in the sky; Wrapt I stood until I fancied the mys tery I knew How was framed the wondrous struc ture, how was tinted every hue. For methought some artist angel, stray ing from his seat on high, Had sketched with seraph pencil that picture on our sky With living colors Crom the fount of the eternal given, Had sketched for us the glorious arch above the gates of heaven. A Bign to us, vouchsafed a space, then soon to pass away As dreams at night when lost In sleep around our pillows play. A type of peace and holy love, all glories in its blending To man, sin-stained and sordid, from God tho Lord descending. ROBERT II. TIDNEY died and was burled here early in the present week. His body should havo returned to Colorado for sepulcher for his life was worn out there. He was an old time printer and writer and an all-round loveable man. Wo havo in idea that tho shades of Eugeno Field, Rothaker and Arkin wero waiting for his coming, and that tho wel comes were soft music and loving words. hJhKHHES&biSHMNhhYJHH A Sneak Bill THE party in power had better not pass that Philippine Home Rule bill. Something over thirty tribes inhabit those islands. The trlbo that is partially educated learned its ideas of government from the ,Spanish officers who for a full century wero sent there to loot tho Islands. , Tho Filipinos aro a mixtures of Spanish, Chinese and Malays, a combination which invariably look to power to rule and given rule know no more of tho principles of self government than so many gray wolves. Tho United States should govern there, build more school houses and bring up a new raco of men to take control, or should sell tho islands to some other power. The (bill of Mr. Jones Is in truth mount merely to avoid a responsibility by a sneak. The Same Colonel WE take it that the colonel will after all ac cept the nomination for governor of New York. The wires tell us he proposes to make a canvass of Louisiana and 'Mississippi to try to break the solid south. Putting everything together it looks to us as though the colonel's contract with the Democracy in 1912 is still in force. It is as plain now as it was in 1912 that he will draw no votes from the Democracy; the 'best he can do for the Dem ocratic party is to get enough former Repuu licans to vote for him to repeat, in the election for congressman, -what ho did in 1912 so re duce tho Republican vote as to elect Democrats. This in tho north. It he goes south ho will not reduce the Democratic vote 5 per cent, nor will be add anything to the Republican vote, unless the Democracy in those states decide to count in a few more colored votes. But what claim has he on tho colored vote of tho south after what ho has said about the need of disfranchising colored southern voters? His discussion of tho tariff in the north will leave intelligent voters between laughter and tears, for what part of his own record can ho call up that gives him an excuse for becoming a tariff champion? Then in 1912 it was thundered in his ears from all over the east, north and west, that the greater number of votes he could obtain the more certain would bo the olection of IMr. Wilson, which would mean the smashing of the tariif. Did he- care? Not at all. And what is his po sition now, except to keep himself In the lime light and in a mental sense keep the country in such an uproar that for the sake of -peace one or the other of the great parties and he does not care a penny which will nominate him in 191(5. Meanwhile ho will this year do what he can to keep fcr Mr. Wilson a majority of Democrats in both houses of congress. The only square thing tho Progressives have done this year has 'been in "Utah. Hero they havo united with the Democrats, for so long as they claim to bo Progressives there is no other place for them to go, for they understand that the original intention of their party was to de stroy the Republican party; that tho colonel might compass his ambition to again attain to tho presidency or raise hades all his life. Mean while how about that sore throat and enlarged spleen? The Flag 1 WHILE discussing tho flag question people should keep in mind that certain rules should be observed. The army is tho special '" custodian of the flag on land. In the army it is "$ raised with a salute at sunrise and lowered the same way at sunset. This wo believe is tho universal rule. Of course it has no reference to the flag that is half-masted for the distinguished dead. i
