I- FLAT WHEELS.
People living along the line of the Bamberger electric road from
the south limits of the city lo the station on Twenty-fourth street
complain that the noise of flat wheels on the passenger trains is get
ting on their nerves' and proving a nuisance late at night when any
well behaved electric train would have some regard for the rights of
those who desire lo sleep.
I BIRDS OF A FEATHER.
Charlie Chaplin had a fight with Louis Mayer, manager of Mil
dred Chaplin, wife of the comedian, and from whom he is separated
Jack PickCord, brother of Mrs. Douglas -Fairbanks- took Chaplin
in charge.
hi the one knockdown and dragout, those "movie" stars staged
an event which gave emphasis to the fact that decency and respecta
bility had left them.
The entire group is in disrepute and in need of fumigation.
K STRAY CURRENTS.
On North Washington avenue and at points along Lincoln ave
nue, south, of Twenty-sixth street, water pipes are bursting in the
street, close to the electric railways and the city officials aiv causing
an investigation to be made to determine the cause.
One theory, is that stray currents from the electric lines are en
tering the -water mains and producing what is known as electrolysis,
which is robbing the pipes of their metal by the action of electricity.
The stray currents are thought to be due to improper bonding
of the rails, and the responsibility for correcting the defect rests
with the companies using the electric force.
I CLEANING THE CITY.
Beginning Monday, April 19. an entire week will be devoted to a
spring clean up in Ogden, during which landlord and tenant will be
expected to rid back and front yards of the accumulated rubbish
and garbage of the winter.
The city is participating in the clean up by 'offering to haul to!
the "dumps" small piles of rubbish placed on the curb, but there
should be no abuse of this privilege. Those who have a wagon load j
or more of garbage should hire their own teams. The aim of the
city is to give service to the homes which, with only a wheelbarrow
or two of ashes and other refuse, would be put to big expense in
hiring a team for each small heap of rubbish.
The city is to be divided into districts and the yard cleanings
should not be wheeled to the curb until the date set for each par
ticular district. Compliance with this order will prevent unsightly
garbage piles' remaining on the streets over a longer period than
- really necessary..
If : EVERYBODY IS INJURED.
I
One of the first effects of the switchmen's strike was" to throw
8 out of work thousands of packing house employes in Chicago.
I Strikes on our railroads always have a disorganizing effect on
all industries. For two years orders for goods have been slow in de
livery", and the present disruption of traffic will add lo the diffi
culties in obtaining supples of all lends, and, if the tie up continues
any length of time, business and industry generally will be seriously
interfered with.
; This is one bad feature of every large strike. The conflict is
not confined to the parties directly involved, but spreads until the
entire public is injured. But neither side considers the right of the
public and even public sentiment is disregarded except as it affects
, employer or worker.
There should be some way found to settb labor troubles without
, resorting to widespread disorganization of industry. The history of
j strikes is that both sides to the trouble suffer injury and seldom is
! any grievance adjusted through the clash of forces.
; ' Today the atmosphere of the whole country is surcharged with
unrest. Everywhere there is talk of strike and- here and there, radi
calism is advocated. This is a period when sensible men high in the
councils of labor or capital will avoid by all possible means the in
creasing of the tension.
Those who think in the terms of dollars, and are inviting a clash,
should take a day off in order to get their ears close to the ground
and catch, the rumblings of a mighty upheaval which promises no
i god for any one.
Ii FROM HOMES IN THE STARS,
j At midnight April 20, when Mars is approaching the nearest
p&int to the earth, the wireless operators of the world are to listen
for messages from the Martians.
When the day arrives on which word comes from the heavenly
bodies- that day will displace Armistice day as the greatest in all
history.
Our earth is insignificant compared with some of the celestial
bodies. There is no good reason presented in support of the con
tention that human intelligence exists on no plant other than earth.
With active minds on Mars it is possible that for years the inhab
itants have been signaling to us and have been puzzled at our stu
pidity in not catching the messages.
Mysterious wireless waves have been received of late, and scien
tists of the learning and practical experience of Marconi are hopeful
that the messages are from out of space.
Now if, on April 21, there is positive information that Mars is
I talking lo us, we shall await further disclosures with deepest, in
terest. The man of strong religious convictions will aslc, first of all:
. What do the Martians know of a Supreme Being? Has a Christ
appeared to them?
The man of letters will inquire as to the literature of Mars.
The scientists will seek word as to the discoveries and re-,
searches.
Doctors will ask as to the physical structures, the ailments and
j? cures.
And, if the people of Mars are 500 years ahead of us in civili-

COMMIEill
Editor Standard-Examiner.
In your paper of April 2, "W. D. Wat
son, In considering the "American
Plan of Eniployymcnt," makes the
following errors:
He considers the "American Plan of
Employment'' an April fool;, whereas,
the unions have fooled the people long
enough.
Ho states that other unions are not
getting a living wage; whereas, tho(
latest reports on the cost of living say
; that the C. O. L. has Increased S4 per
cent since 1914. Wages have in
creased proportionately; let Mr. Wat
son publish the wages he received per
day In 191-1 alongside of the wages he
is receiving today.
He states that "wc as union men
concede 'that the constitutional right
of every workman to seek and find
employment, upon terms and condi
tions as are mutually satisfactory to
himself and his employer, must not be
denied or abridged; ' " whereas,
unions require a man to seek and find
employment only through the union
and under union conditions, whether
these are satisfactory to the work
man or not.
He states that the public welfare
has always been regarded by the
unions; whereas the unions have
wholly disregarded the public welfare,
as a glanco at the coal strike and th.o
threatened railroad strike, and the
present sympathetic strike of the ma
rine works, which handle 90 per cunt
of the food supply of the city of New
York, will show.
He states that "I consider it my
privilege to quit my Job If I do not de
sire to work with another workman,"
and assumes that because it Is his
right that It is the right of workmen
collectively to quit a job as a body;
whereas, even If wc admit the right
fulness of collective quitting which
we do not we cannot Americanlzo
tho rightfulness of collectively forbid
ding others to take what the quitters
refuse to have.
He considers unorganized labor as
"selfish and indifferent" and "opposed"
to organized labor;" therefore, thoy
must be excluded from work; whereas
unionism is selfish and works for self
interest only, by first wanting all of
tho proflt3 produced by capital and
brains, as wqll as labor; and "second,
by requiring all 'employers of organ
ized labor to maintain union shops;
thus, by limiting apprentices and ex
cluding other workmen they monopo
lize tho opportunity to work.
He assumes that unions aro organ
ized for lawful purposes; whereas, if
unions are so organized, why i3 there
such a fight put up and such a tur
moil created in organized labor circles
when any law Is being considered
which is to regulate and properly pro
tect tho public against the most gigan
tic trust that American industry has
produced.
He assumes that all contracts on the
part of organized labor have been
faithfull observed; whereas, thero is
nothing on the union side of their con
tract to bind them, and tho unions op
pose any law requiring their incorpor
ation, and unions even refuse to fur
nish bond for tho faithful perform
ance of their contracts.
Ho assumes that the union shop
closed shop is not repugnant lo
American principles; whereas tho con
stitutional right belonging to cvory
man Is that ho may seek and find
work wherever and whenever he may
tlesiro.
Organized labor has rendered a
service to tho working man In many
ways, and can still be of greater ser
vice In our industrial life. It Is only
tho things in organized labor which
are menacing the public that we must
chock. This is what the "Amcrjcan
Plan of Employment" is doing. As a
motnber of tho 27,000,000 mostly un
organized workors in gainful occupa
tions. I heartily approve of tho Utah
Associated Industries plan. The S9
per cent of the unorganized workers
of this country must protect them
solvcs against the 10 per cent of or
ganized workors on tho one hand and
tho 1 per cent of capitalists on the
other. I endorse the "American Plan
of Employment." Yours truly,
A CITIZEN.

Hoover Raps Failure
of League of Nations
KINGSTON. N. Y.. April 10. Fail
ure of the United States to Join a
league of nations that would lesson
the dangers of future wars, Is like
"silently watching Rome burn." Her
bert Hoover declared in an address
here at a dinner of the social service
commission of the New York Meth
odist Episcopal conference. He said
there is an "ideal in a league of na
tions" fitting to American character
and American civilization:
"Not an ideal that wo should pre
vent war by arms," he added, "but
an ideal that It could be prevented
by negotiation, by arbitration and tho
ventilation of public opinion of the
world. The ideal is not dead in the
hearts of tho American people." j

UTAH WINS IN
oipi
Governor and State Engineer i
Report Success Attends
Presence at L. A. Meet
SALT LAKE, April 10- With the re
turn yesterday of Governor Simon
Bamberger and George V. McGonagle,
stato engineer, who composed the
Utah delegation at the convention of
tho Lcaguo of the Southwest In Los
Angeles, it became known that the
Utah representatives presented tho'
facts with regard to tho Ouray roscr
voir site withdrawal in such a manner
that tho league passed a resolution
that the site should not be considered
unless it was shown that the site is
absolutely necessary for the control of
tho flood flow of the Colorado river.
The rosolutlon was passed In liou
of ono supported by the Los Ansoles
chamber of commerce and others to
the effect that it should bo Iho senso
or the convention that tho Ouray site
should not be Interfered with in any
manner.
Inasmuch as there is no doubt In
tho minds of tho Utahns familiar with
the situation of the contrul 'of the
flood waters of tho Colorado, possible
through the construclion of the Ouray
reservoir, can be effected by means of
iirigation projects higher up on Iho
Green river and its tributaries, the
Utah delegation considers tho substi
tution of the new resolution as an im
portant victory for Utah.

DRAMA EXPERT
'in juncs
Elizabeth Marbury Hopes to
Be Delegate to National
Convention
By EDNA HUBER CHURCH,
International News Service Staff Cor.
respondent.
WASHINGTON, April 10. Tho
I drama of politics should be easy for
Miss Elizabeth Marbury, for she has
been for some time recognized as a
leader In the field of drama in Amer
ica. MIsh Marbury was born into the
Democratic party. Her father was one
of the original members of Tammany
Hall in the days of John BIgelow, Sam
uel Tllden and Abraham S. Hewitt.
Born in Now York and educated In
prlvato schools, Miss Marbury becamo
greatly Interested In litoraturo and the
drama, and sho has been for a num
ber of years one of the leading auth-
uits leprcacniauvc in mis country.
She has represented In this country
the leading playwrights of England
and France, and has been twice deco
rated by France for her services to tho
authors of that country. Many of the
successful plays produced on Broad-J
way have been produced by Elizabeth
Marbury.
The name of Elizabeth Marbury is
not unknown lo the men who fought
for their country. Hardly had con
gress declared war before Miss Mar
bury becamo a leader in the movement
, to make war as light as possible for
the soldier, sailor and marine. When
the armistice was signed she was sent
to France by the then Secretary of the
Interior. Franklin K. Lane, and trav
elled more than 4500 miles ovor
trenches and In and out of dugouts and
billots and tolling tho boys of the farm
movement and urging them to return
to develop tho unclaimed lands of this
country. At the ports of embarkation
and in tho huts of the American army
of occupation tho name of Miss Mar
bury becamo well known. She s.poko
and the men listened. No greater
tribute can be paid to her speaking
ability.
It i3 highly probable that Miss Mar
bury will bo a delegate to the national
convention at San Francisco, although
she is having some difficulty in that
matter. But Elizabeth Marbury can
account for herself in politics just as
sho has accounted well for herself In
every other undertaking, her friends
declare.

"Eyes and Voice" His
Guide for the Chorus
Raymond Hitchcock, who will a,p
pear at the Orpheum Wednesday,
April 11, in tho new version of
"Hitchy-Koo" says "the eyes and
voice" are his guide in selecting cho
rus girls "There's where you get tho
real true reading of human nature,"
he adds. "Of course, a good figuro is
the first essential and fine features
and shape of the head aro necessary
to good looks, but these points of value
without the charm of eyes and voice,
are like a watch withput a spring; in
other words, the spark of human na
ture's greatest endowment, the soul,
is wanting. A chorus girl with little
culture of schools, but possessed of
this spirit shows it in a grace of man
ner and a kindliness of voice and eyes
I call real beauty. She is always re
spectful and self-respecting, and that
is an asset of .personality thai goes
farther in pleasing Interesting people
than the cold cleverness of tho wit of
experience, which ices feelings and
hardens looks and voice.
"My aim to have a chorus of 'forty
under twenty' is based on this theory.)
It is the age period of zest and relish.'
and with the foundation of a good na-j
ture, as I have suggested, e way is
made easy for a stage performance in
a big show that does not offend from
too much maturity or bored familiari
