Saturday, May 10, 1913, The "Bryan Ricky" is the name of (be newest drink You could hardly fail to guess its chief make-up. Tlio i rebuke ", which tho peace monomaniacs administered to Dr. Ab bott is jji fact a bic credit mark for him. When Dr. Anna Shaw says that slio does not believe that thero has over been a bad man in favor of woman ! suffrage, docs she mean to offer belief in that cause as a great moral regen crator? Governor Sulzer enmo out of his f lVhfc with tho New York Legislature a badly mauled man. Tho Senato was five lo one against; him, and the Sen ate was Murphy's. The real boss hasn't been dofhroned yet. Opinion is said fo be gaining strength in Washington that-President Wilson will bo a candidate for a sec ond term. In that, case, what becomes of the party platform being a sacred pledge? And how about Bryan? , When a wife makes five attempts to ) secure a divorce, three times in her own State and twice in Reno, as a 1 Massachusetts wife is reported to have done, it is probable that tho wrong party to the marriago is doing the suing. Professor Tuft, in declaring in his first lecture at the Yalo law school i that "the new school of political thinkers, recently sprung up, cannot last." uses language woll calculated to stir up tho bristling hair on the Bull Moose back. it seems unaccountablo in the slow service from t lie pie-counter that the widow of the famous Gcn..Longstreet should be among the very first to bo ousted, and the American public gen crally will tender her a sympathy which is earnest and heartfelt, even though they can do no more. ) It seems that British Columbia needs a "blue sky law" to protect the poor, fl innocent whites against tho spiteful designs and operation of tho wily reds, The account of Indians' making a rich, get-away from white men in a . gold-brick gold mine is at once start ling aud a good deal of a joke. ol. iioosevelt now comes out in fa or of arbitration, .which is distinct progress. While Mr. Taft was Prcsi dent and proposed arbitration among the nations, and especially between the United Slates and Great .Britain ( ol. Roosevelt came out forcely and bcl 'ligcrently in opposition to it. "De world do move." Last night the Deserct News said: "There has been somo foolish talk in tho past here in Utah about church interference in politics." It might , fairJv aud honestly have admitted that such "foolish talk" had mostly come from itself, in denial of suck church iuterference, and have admitted' apo that its denials were as fnlso as they were foolish. It looks as though things wcro ri peuing in Mexico for tho unanimous recall of Mexico's "Graud Old Man," Porfirio Dia?;. by unanimous consent. ' For, the people must be getting worn out bv the bitter, destructive strife, and it txcnis as tliough all tho parties ( and interests could uuito on him aud come under his rule ay before; but no such union can be hoped for under . any of the active faction leaders. The German fear, as expressed by Professor Mucnsterbcrg, that the cele ( bration in 191 " of the hundred years of . peace between this country and Great ' Britain may lead lo an alliance be tweeu the two pov.-ers "antagonistic to Germany," is far-fetched and unwor thy of consideration. There is no prop oeition for any closer alliance than wo already have, and even if thero were, there is no ground for assuming that it would bo antagonistic to Germany. Germany jingoes are too touchy. Japan protested against the school management of Han Francisco, and Tolonel Rooevelt threatened the school board with the army and navy; it now protests against California's Stato log islation based expressly upon the terms ;of our latest treaty with Japan; it pro- tcBtod against our objections to Japa ' ucse raids on tho sea herds of Alaska, '! and we had to buy off tho sp.i1 pirates; and seems readv to protest against ' pretty much anything nud o very thing H that doesn't serve the special interests of Japan. How would it do fo toll Ja pan to lako a rest for a while? TAREET BIILIj JAMMED THROUCtH. The bill revising tho tariff was jammed through the Rouse of Kopro sentatives without opportunity for amendment, examination, or consistont revision. Tho fact that Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia pointed out to Presi dent Wilson that Iho bill was incon sistent,, contradictory, and very much in need of amendment, had no influence upon tho leaders of tho JIoupc. As Speaker Champ Clark said, thoy have tho votes, and they passed the bill without any chango whatever, save such as tho Ways and Means -Committee itself brought forward, and these changes were very few indeed, Tho voto by which tho bill passod was 2S1 against 138. Tho Democrats who voted against it wero the- eight Representatives from Louisiana and Charles B. Smith of Now York, the lat tor representinc in part tho city of Buffalo. Six members, nominally Re publican, voted for tho bill, including Representatives M. C. ICellcy or one of the Pittsburgh districts; A. R. Ruploy, elected by Pennsylvania from the Stato at large; .!. W. Bryan, elected at large from Washington, and J. T. Nolan from ono of th'e San Francisco districts. The action of tho Democrats in op posiug tho Democratic revision of the tariff was chiefly on account of sugar, this accounting for tho eight votes from Louisiana, with tho voto of Mr. Smith from New York unexplained. The coast votes in favor of tho bill may havo been in rovengo for cutting the dnfv on lemons. The Progressive vote seems to incline toward tho Dem ocratic party in its vicious hatred against the R-epublicans. It is quite generally conceded in Washington now, precisely as Tho Trib une has urged from tho first, that enough Democratic Senators will refuse to be whipped into line, and can be fully depended upon to save the duty on wool, sugar, and probably a sufficient duty on load and zinc. The Democratic programme, as stated, is to divide these Democratic Senators so as to carrj' the programme of tho lead ers by means of a separation of the op posing vote. That is, Democratic lead ers hope lo carry free sugar, in spite of tho opposition of the two Senators (rom Louisiana, by segregating those two votes from tho Senators who op pose free wool, and as tho Democratic Senators from Louisiana would not care particularly about wool, tho hope is that they will vote for the Democratic machine bill so far as wool is con cerned. But it is not in the least like ly that this opposition voto would con sent to be so segregated. It will prob ably unite on a programme which will include enough votes to beat free sugar, free wool, and a destructive cut in the tariff on lead and zinc. For this purpose . probably enough Demo cratic Senators from Louisiana, Colo rado. Montana, and Oregon can be relied upon for the most part, and these aro more than ample to amend tho bill in the particulars slated. So that we expect to see the tariff bill come out of tho Senato in quite a dif ferent form from that in which it has passed tho House. WITHDRAWAL RIGHT CONTESTED. We are glad to see that the contest is on in the Federal courts against the legality of the withdrawal of public lands by Presidential order, prior to tho time in .1010, when this withdrawal was authorized 1)3' law. Presidont Cleveland and Presidont Roosevelt withdrew large tracts of public land without any utility shown in tho with drawal and without an' law authoriz ing it. Thero wero no surveys made of watersheds showing that the tracts withdrawn wero useful for the preser vation of tho snows and tho prevention of- floods or for any other utilitarian purpose. There seemed to bo an idea that there was a relation between the withdrawal of these lands and the pre vention of floods that tho investiga tions of scientists havo not only failed to sustain, but have absolutely dis credited. And the withdrawal of couH lands, so far from breaking up monopo lies, as it was claimed it might do, so as to preserve the coal for the use of the people, actually helped the monopo lists and deprived qompetitors of the opportunity to get coal lands, open coal mines, or furnish coal ju competition with the established combination. And so the withdrawals prior to 3010 were not only without basis of law, but were indefensible on any scientific or economic theory. The lands that are in contest will doubtless decide the general principle involved, and we trust that the courts may vacate all of the Presidential or ders that were directed, without law ful authority, toward tho withdrawal of lands from the operation of law. and throw those lands open, to tho taking of American citizons under the land laws, properly and honestly adminis tered. The suit arose over the filings of an oil company in Wyoming, the Govern ment seeking to recover 4000 acres of alleged oil land near Casper in that State. Tho Government attorneys al lege that the practice of withdrawing land by Presidential order dates back to the time of John Quincy Adams, and that therefore the withdrawal of thofo particular lands by President Roosevelt was legal. It is not easy to see, however, how an illegal withdrawal can be made legal because it has not been contested. As long as there is no law for it, the acquiescence of all concerned in the illegal order has no tendency whatever to validate either tho first order or other illegal orders made subcaquent to the first. While the matter is in tho court it will doubtless be carried lo the Su preme Court of tho I'uitcd State, uhere tho final decision will be made; and we trust that such decision may bo positively and sweeping!' in favor of tho law and against tho orders, from whatever source, withdrawing land when thero was no authority of law for tho withdrawal. GOOD RAILROAD POINTS. Two railrond itoms of unusual im portance wero enrriod in tho news yes terday morning. The first, was a dispatch from Den ver recitinc tho fact that President Miller of tho Burlington road had written in Bupport of tho Moffat road 's tunnel projected through tho main range Mile sido of Donvor, and stating that tho Burlington road would bo glad to use that tunnel in connection with tho Moffat road. This should give a great impetus to tho pushing of that tunnel, aud also to tho construc tion of tho road through to Salt Lako from its present, terminus at Steam boat Springs. Whon a great road liko the Burlington will com to the Bup port of a ponding cnterpriso liko this, that ought to mean speedy success. Another point was that given by President Bush of tho Denver and Rio Grande, stating that tho dolour lino of his road at Soldier Summit in this Stato would prbbabl' bo ready for run nine its regular trains upon by Octo ber 1st. This detour will very largely reduce the summit grado, which is now an extremely heavy one, and the im provement offectod by this detour will be very great. It will lessen tho cost nnd stress of tho haul over tho sum mit, and when finished will complete ono of tho good things promised by thin road for Utah tho present year. MORGAN'S PATRIOTIC OFFER. Col. George Harvoy, in detailing tho conversation which he had with John Piorpont Morgan before Morgan's final trip to Europe and Egypt, and after Mr. Morgan had given his testi mony before tho Pujo committee, gives information that is important to every American. It shows that Mr. Morgan had in him the essonco of patriotism in a Tomarkablo degree, in a degree that is worthy of emulation by every American citizen. In his talk with Mr. Morgan, Col. Harvey was commissioned to say to President Wilson that "if there over should come a time when ho thinks anjr influence or resources that I havo can be used for tho country, they are wholly at his disposal." This was un doubtcdl' a sincere, patriotic, offer, and it was not an offer to bo despised, for tho resources of tho Morgan house are something tremendous. It was an offer such as none but a liberty-loving, country-loving man would offor, a man patriotic at heart, and wholly devoted to tho Republic, Wo cannot doubt, inasmuch as Mr. Morgan in his will loft everything to tho discretion of his chief heir and executors, coupled with the suggestion that they wero to follow out his poli cies, but leaving them ontiroly free to do as they pleased, that they will bo not only willing but anxious to con form to tho message sent by Mr. Mor gan to President Wilson, if ever tho occasion which Mr. Morgan suggosted should ariso. This offer of Morgan's was an offer distinctly worth while, and it is ono that every American of great resources would do well to emulate. A QUESTION OP POSTAGE. There seems to bo no ond to postal complications in this country and in Canada. It will be recollected that President Taft was betrayed by mis calculation into tho incorporation in ono of his messages of tho ridiculous statement that it cost the Government from eight to nine cents a pound to handle second-class mail. When wc consider that tho express companies have long handled this class of mail at ono cent a pound, and aro now handling it at even less, and that tho Canadian postal authorities were hand ling tnis sort of mail profitably at a charge of three-quarters of a cent a pound, the wouder grows that President Taft could havo been so decoived as to incorporate such a statement in his message. But he was not tho only one who has erred the same. Our own post office" department furnished him the data upon which he founded his esti mate, and other authorities have been even moro at fault than that. But since our express companies have re duced their rates on this kind of .mat ter even below ono cent it is evident that there was an enormous error in tho computation that gave tho nine cent figure as the cost. We have now another complication from Canada in tho form of a uew postal regulation there which holds that Sunday papers mailed from the United Slates to subscribers iu Canada arc hereafter to bo regarded as week lies, with postage at sixteen ceuts a pound, unless tho recipients are sub scribers to tho daily edition as well as tho Sunday edition of the papers in question. In that case, the Sunday paper would bo considered as a daily, mailable at four cents a pound across the border. This regulation is sup posed to bo in the special interests of the Canadian newspapers, and lo carr3 what is iu effect a protect ivo duty against American newspapers and in favor of the Canadian issues. This, of course, will lead to diplomatic negotia tions, for our postal department will naturally insist that Canada shall not make any discrimination against Amer ican newspapers in favor of its own, but shall admit American newspapers to Canadian mails on tho samo basis that it admits Canadian newspapers. "Vo have here, therefore, the prospect of a very convenient diplomatic laugle, which will be a ailed of to the usual extent, with tho probability that in tho end the Canadian discrimination will be annulled, siuco if it is persisted in tho Unltod StAton can retaliate in liko manner and degreo. COMPARATIVE EDUCATION. Under tho impulse for tho industrial education of tho nogro rnco, as started by Booker T. Washington, it is really becoming a question whether tho nogro schools of tho South aro nob moro irnc tically Borvicoablo to tho nogro race than are the public schools of tho South to tho white race. Tho public school system of tho South, liko that o tho country ovorywhoro, especially up to within very recent years, has been purely academic. Its foundation was tho idea of preparing youths for col lego, and it continued in that rut for generations, although it was "known that very fow of tho total mass of pub lic school pupil3 could over go to col loge, or evor wanted to go. And so gradually thore has becomo an awaken ing among public school educators, which may bo said to amount to this, that thoy want the pupils of tho grade schools to recoivo somo practical in struction which will servo them in their daily livos and in their struggle to got on industrially, commercially, and in general, successfully. Thero is no ques tion of tho advantage of this chango of view with respoct to tho public schools. But tho negroes really have tho advan tage bo far as thoir schools arc con cerned over tho public school systdm of tho South. They have been ostracised, and their education, so faT as tho pub lie school system is concerned, has been negleoted or denied. And it is now really a question whether this donial has not been of advantage to them in depriving them of tho old-style educa tion and substituting tho now industrial and practical education for the old, which was purely academic and imprac tical. In this now form of education for tho negroes of the South, Booker T. Washington has had great success in re ceiving funds in tho North for his in stitution at Tuskegce, Alabama. His success has made many imitators, and in so far as thoy conform to his practi cal methods and are honest in their processes, these imitators will doubtless do good in thoir degree. But tho sys lem of solicitation for tho support of such schools offers largo opportunities for fraud. For example, a spoaker at tho meeting of leading nogro oducators held rocontly in New York, detailed what ho called "a typical discovory," this being the finding of a "presi dont" of a much-advertised school, who was in tho habit of collecting funds in tho North for his "academy" in the South, but who, on inves tigation, was found to have no school at all, but that he used tho money re ceived to educate at his own home his two sons. This, of course, is merely a case of fraud; but there is no question of tho groat benefit and practical util ity of the industrial education of the negro in tho South under the auspices of Booker T. Washington and others who are working on lines similar to his. And wo have no doubt but that tho ex ample and influence of those indus trial schools for tho negro in tho South will havo an important modifying cf foct upon the curriculums of tho public schools for whites in that sectidn. THE "RIGHT" AND THE "LEFT." A good deal of comment has boen mado in tho Eastern newspapers about Secretary Daniels's order to abolish the term "port" and "starboard" in the United Stales navy, substituting "left." and "right" for them; and a good deal of doubt is exprcssod among those who understand tho matter best of the practical workings of that order. Rear Admiral Schroeder explains that the now order does not go as far as it had been supposed to go by those who have commented upon it. lie says that tho "right" and "left" order for the navy applies only to tho command giveu to tho steersman, and that it is a Fv'':wyv.ww';,hVrPgTT' ANNUAL MAY SALE COMMENCES MONDAY, i .

CAPITAL AND SURPLUS. $720,000.00. mistaken assumption to supposo that tho old expression "starboard" and "port" aro to bo abolished for all pur poses. But it would be interesting to havo Roar Admiral Schroedor go a lit tle further into tho matter. Even as ho oxplnins, tho order to tho stoorsman of "right" and "lefL" is llablo to be confusing. Suppose thoro are two men at tho wheel, as may ofton bo tho enso, these men facing each other; if tho or' dor is given lo tho steersmen "lar board" that moans something dofinilo as to tho course of tho ship, no mattor how tho stocrsmon may be facing; both will understand precisely that tho ship is to bo turned on tho larboard course to the degree that may bo indicated in tho order. To say "left" means loft to tho man who is facing tho prow, but is right lo the man who is facing tho first steersman. But "larboard" meanff larboard to both. Tho samo io true of "starboard." When thoro aro two Btoorsmon and tho ordor comes to work lo starboard both undorstand ex 'aclly what is meant, no matter what their own position is with regard to tho ship. But to say "right" is likely to bo confusing and may bo disastrous for a fow times until tho steorsmon got ac customed to tho now order. Wo foar that Socretary Daniol3 did not entirely think tho mattor out as ho ought to havo dono beforo issuiug the order, sinco "left" and "right" aro unfamiliar terms in tho navy, and may mean exactly opposite to the steersman or other crow ol! tho ship without re gard to the position that they them selves may occupy on tho ship, i Besides, what special point is to be (gained by introducing this sort of con I fusion into tho navy?
