. 1 - THE OGDEN STANDARD, OGDEN, UTAH, THURSDAY, JULY 17, 1913. jj William Glasmnnn. Publisher AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER (Established 1870.) NEW TRAIL HAS BROUGHT SORROW That was a severe blow the Mir? land trail received, when the well equipped Indiana part brake tip into number of groups owing to the almost Impassable condition of the road fronr Colorado Into Utah While we are forced to admire the enterprise with which the people from Salt Lake southeast along the route to the Colorado Btate line have gone ahead to accomplish that which we were assured was next to Impos sible, still we find ample reasons why regret should be expressed over the campaign which resulted In the In dlana automobile tourists being per suaded not to follow the Overland trail but. Instead, to try tho experl raent of crossing this state on a new, and, necessarily rought and dusty, road Had the strangers come Into the state through Echo and Weber can yons., down which there Is a hard, firm, water-level road, with no danger points, and through which the scenery Is Indescribably fascinating for those who are from the prairie states, and had they made a side trip to Salt lake and then gone out of Utah by way of the orchard lined road from here to Brlgham City, a more favorable impression would have been made than Is now being Imparted by the desert dust and dangers of the Mid land route. One of the special correspondent B describes the dust-covered travelers as real heroes because they have so uncomplainingly endured the bar ships of the first fifty miles wlthlo the state of Utah. They may be h roes, but heroes, like common mor tals have memories to remind thm of the unpleasant things of life, and, In this case, Utah will profit nothing by the recollections except to be gratefully appreciated through the ef forts put forth to make up In kindness and courtesy for that which was lack lng In road facilities The tourists were to have made "9 miles the first day out of Grand Junction and 64 miles today That 1b almost equal to the running time con sumed by Frank Botterill. in covering the entire distance from Salt Lake to Denver, the latter part of June, over the Overland route, when a speed equal to that of the Denver & Rio Grande trains was maintained The . I comparison should leave no doubt In the minds of the Impartial that a blunder was made In Inducing ihe present automobile party to follow the Midland. on I WHAT WERE THE JAPANESE I LOSSES When A. W. Hadley of Ogden was at Port Arthur, on his tour of the world, ho visited the Important points of the siege of that fortress by the Japanese and took note of the losses suffered bv General Nogl's army. In a letter to the Standard he gave a copy of the Inscription on the granite 6lab placed on Monument Hill to the I memory of the dead, which stated that 22 183 Japanese soldiers were killed These figures do not agree with those published within the last week by the Portland Oregonian which are said to be reproduced from the rec ords of the secret archives lately made public The total losses of the U i Japanese at Port Arthur are placed at 105,000, with 19,000 lost In the capture of 203-Meter Hill alone. General Stoessel, In command of the Russian forces, is said to have had an army of 80,000 at the beginning of the war, but only 27,000 remained at the surrender and only 6000 were able to march. If that he true, then Runbla, In court martlallng General Stoessel. performed a barbarous act. Mr. Hadley. in his article In the Standard, cast some doubt on the accuracy of the Japanese official rec ord, by stating that many of the resi dents of Port Arthur who were on the ground at the time of the siege, placed the Japanese losses as high as 100.000. But not much credence Is to he given to these outside sources of information, as none other than the heads of the army could even ap proximate the losses in that terrible I SHOE AND I SLIPPER SALE 600 Par of Men's and Women'i fl!

DOING AWAY WITH THE "BARKERS" Haf you ever visited San Fran cisco? If you have not. no doubt you will in 1915 AS one enters the Ferr building, he Is compelled to walk be tween line of hotel ' runners," all I shouting their loudest the names of the hotels. There was a time when these runuers " would grab the hand f-atchol of arrivals and attempt to force the strangers to patronize their hotels. This rowdyism has been done away with, but the "barkers 1 continue their loud cries, which are most dis concerting to the timid. The Call of that city has started a movement to suppress the nuisances, which it cor rectly describes as follows. "In some parts of the world people are still lhlng In tho stone age, and not. like most of the civilized world, in the age of electricity. "Strange customs survive from for mer days In places where they would least be expected So, too, a twe wheeled ox cart may be found travel; i lng the same road with the automo bile. New York, metropolis of the na tion, still tolerates the bobtailed horsecar with its Jingling bell, crawl ing over the streets under which the subway trains shuttle to and fro like flashes of lightning. "San Francisco has within a few weeks driven Its last horse car to the barn for the last time, but it still tol erates practice which Is ap obso lete as the Btone age, and as coun trified as the bobtailed horse car. ' The 'barkers' at the ferry and rail road stations are a survival of almost antediluvian or primeval ages so far as the need of their existence Is con cerned. "There Is not an up to date city In the union where the barker has not been summarily suppressed He Is a nuisance and an annoyance to trav elers who are able to take care of themselves. He Is a source almost of terror to the timid, the nervous and the Inexperienced. "All that is necessary to abolish the barker nuisance Is to compel the cab men and hotel runners to keep still and to stand In order That Is done elsewhere. It can easily be done here and It should be, done at onco," THE MODERN SCHOOL AND VOCATIONAL FARMING. Dr. A E. Wilson paid the Standard a visit yesterday For more than tea years he was one of the leading teach en In our schools Ho still has a feeling as of home for Ogden and says that the city has n hold on his heart strings He speaks of the great im provements since he left here ten years aRo and remarks on the attrac llveness of the valley from Salt Lake north to Logan, somewhat doubting j that we who see It every day fully realize Its beauty. Dr Wilson attended the National Education asoclatlon meetings In Salt Lake, and says one of the things that proved most inspiring and pleasing to himself and fellow teachers was th atmosphere of music in this state ah uie iHsoeri rvuiBirai iun tmr -iu-vanced Utah Is In this art. I.efore visiting Ogden. Dr. Wilson sent to Logan where he taught In ih- Agricultural college. He was in tervtewed bv the Logan Journal am? much of what he told the Journal as to the school system of Los Angeles, wnere he Is principal of a hlph school, he repeated to th Standard His most important statement was in relation to vocational training, of which he said . "After a child has pased the sixth grade he Is given a chance to enter upon a vocational course, If so desired, and the schools are very well equip ped to give this sort of instruction For Instance a girl desires to equip herself to earn her own Iking and seo t6 the laundry business as one sho would like to enter. She Is allowed lo bring the washing of the family to ferhool, where there is a complete laundry equipment, and there she learns to use laundering machinery, In addition to doing the famllv wash ing So with the making of a dress or a suit The girl brings the cloth, and, under an Instructor, cuts out tho garment to be made and then makes 1' on the power sewing machines. She gets the dress made cheaply, and. should she desire to enter a ready to-wear garment factory, could do so with confidence. In order to serve the people who most need educational advantages the poor all sorts of plans are adopt ed. There are night schools, at which adults may study as well as the chil dren who have been shut out of tho day schools. There is even a nur scry department In some of tho schools for parents who are called away by their work and are compell od to leave the daughter of the house hold at home to mind the baby The baby is brought to school, deposited In the nursery, where It 1b washed, clothed, fed and put to sleep while the girl attends to her school duties "Any thing to serve the people and give them as large a return as pos sible for the heavy Investment thjty annually make In the school system. The money Invested In the school buildings and equipment la very large ly wasted if they are to be used but five hours per day during nlno I months of the year, bo wc aim 10 make the schools neighborhood at !
