SCHOOL BUILDINGS VOTED..
No feature of I he bond election will bung more real satisfaction
than the voting of authority for the erecting of larger and better
schools.
The vote was a gratifying endorsement of broader and higher edu
cation in Ogden. By making available $500,000. the taxpayers of
Ogden have made possible the constructing of school equipment
which will place Ogden in an envious position among cities of the 30,-000-to-50,000
clas in the United States.
By careful planning, the board of education is in position to give to
Ogden ample room for all the children of school age and provide for
the increase which a grow ing city demands.
Tire Standard hop:s the architecture will be simple and that very
little money will ,be expended in frills; and that the essentials, such
as ventilation, light and general sanitation will be stressed in the mak
ing of plans of the new buildings.
The Standard has confidence in the board of education and the
officials who will be called in to help direct the new construction.
WIPING OGDEN OFF THE MAP.
Whoever is conducting government publicity work in Washington
should receive the attention of the publicity bureau of Ogdcn
Ever since the troop tiain carrying the Belgian veterans from Rus
sia passed through Ogden, there has been a failure on the part of the
man in Washington to recognize Ogden.
This should be overcome even though it be necessary to send a rep
resentative to Washington to tracr the cause of these slights.
Yesterday the famous fliers, who make up the Victory loan circus,
passed through Ogden without stopping. They gave an exhibition in
Reno, Nevada, a place of 10,000, and are to fly in Pocatello and
Boise. But Ogden is ignored, although it is the greatest intermoun
tain railroad junction and directly on the line of travel of the aviators.
With three to four limes more population than Reno, this city is not
deemed sufficiently important to hold the attention of the govern
ment maker of itineraries.
When The Standard last summer investigated as to why the Bel
gian soldiers were not allowed to parade here, after they were sched
uled to do so, but were transported 75 miles out of their way to march
in Salt Lake, the answer received to the questions directed by this pa
per was that the men were tired and could not be subjected to the
extra strain of parading in Ogden. When it was shown that the
journey to Salt Lake added to the fatigue of the weary men, then the
Belgian minister in Washington was made to accept the odium and
he did. That peculiar situation was never explained to our satisfac
tion. We do not aim to be contentious and constantly exacting, but we
do intend to learn why Ogden is being discriminated against.
An individual, who has not sufficient sclf-assertiveness to resent
being imposed on, can so lose caste as eventually to be spit upon, and
a city is not exempt from similar treatment. But The Standard pur
poses to sec to it that, when the spitting starts, some one high up is
sufficiently jarred to bring him to a better understanding of the re
spect due Ogdcn.
JOINT CITY AND COUNTY
BUILDING DEFEATED.
It is a source of disappointment that
the city and county building was re
Jcrtrd in the bond election on Wednes
day. The country districts voted al
most solidly against the bonds, and the
margin in the citv was small.
There apparently was concerted ac
tion in the small communities outside
Ogden, as the vote was almost 5 to 1
in opposition. The spirit that pre
vailed in the rural districts was
against any sign of progress in the
j way of building. The farmers became
I possessed of the idea that the court
house Is good enough, and so old man
"Good Enough," with all his deformi
ties, won tho day.
I But all the blame docs not attach
I to tbe country Ogden could have over
icome the adverse county vole, had the
tf.vpayers not shown an Indifference.
Notwithstanding proposals to bond
for $1,825,000, not one-third the eli
gible voters of Ogdcn went to the-polls.

LLOYD GEORGE'S
STATEMENT.
Lloyd George, most masterful of
.English statesmen, once more has won
over his critics. In an address in the
t House of Commons on Wednesday, the
premier explained the work of the
peace conference, and had he been a'
I representative from the United States,'
returned to give an account of his
I stewardship, he could not have spoken
, more to the point.
One of the stirring references in hi?
I Speech nave us a qlose-up view of
those who have been denouncing the)
conference.
"No bodv of men worked harder or '
I
jin better harmony," said the premier
than the peace conferees, and he j
doubted whether any body of men ever
worked under greater difficulties.
"Stones aro clattering on the roof."
declared Lloyd George, "and wild men
aro screaming throueh the keyholes,
while the enormous Issues depended
upou them which required calm delib
eration." Not a few of the stones thrown were
hurled across the Atlantic by wilful
United States senators, and among tho
wild men could be classed Johnson of
California and Reed of Missouri.
Tho premier spoke of the efforts
made to sow dissensions, distrust and
suspicion, and he declared that tho at
tempts had been failures as harmony (
had prevailed, and mutual regard was
constantly in evidence.
Lloyd George has met with the samn
nagging, rarnine criticism which pur
sued the American delegates across
the ocean and sought to discredit all
their work.

BRITISH EMPIRE NOT A
SOURCE OF DANGER.
Justice Howard of the New York su
preme court fears the growth of the
British empire and. in an article In the
New York Herald, warns this country
to guard against England, the Colossus
of the earth. He attempts a parallel
between the increasing mastery' nf
Britain and the Persian and Romao
empires, but tho Herald says editor
ially: The ancient empires did not consist
D Srles Of mutually dependent
-tales and colonies, linked together by
a common language and literature,
i ommon laws and great ideals of free
dom and human brotherhood. The;,
were made up of military conquered
nations of widely differing civiliza
tions and ideals, heavily taxed, con
trolled by powerful and harsh procon
suls and strong military organizations,
with a great monarch, such as Darius.
Alexander or Caesar, ruling over all j
8 figurehead of awe and Insatiable am
bition. Nothing like this prevails through-
out the Briti.-h Empire today. Britain
herself is a veritable and advanced de-1
mocracy. which extends to her remot
est dominions and colonies the fullest j
possible measure of self government
and extracts neither toll nor tribute
from any one of them, even in return
for the protection afforded by her
mlphty fleet to their coasts and com
merce. There Is no great emperor or
Caesar kaiser as he would be called
today in Germany at the head of the
British Empire threatening the world
with his mailed fist. The king-emperor,
who derives the latter half of his
title from India, is a symbol of figure
head, of whom it is said that he rules
but does not govern and who as the
titular head of a state has far less au
thority than the president of the r
Unlted States.
The executive head of the Brills',
government Is the prime minister, who
is removable, together with his fellov
ministers, by a voto of tho common .,
who aro elected on the widest exist
Ing franchise, and li Is Impossible for
tho premier or any other member of
the government to arrogate to uimself
dictatorial or autocratic authority. The
self-governing overseas dominions of
Britain are on a similar basis, with a
go crnor who nominally represents the
king, with the same measure of au
thority and no more
As for the possibly imperialistic ten
dencles of tho British people of that
there need be little fear Even in the
days of Joseph Chamberlain, greatest
of nil British imperialists, who as sec
retary of state for the colonies, more
tha ntwenty years ago, enunciated the
.'illiirimr docirines of imperial federa
tion and of free trade within the em
pire and protection against the world,
, i m fieri a 1 1 m tiuidi no advanci beyond a
modesl system of reciprocal preferen
tial duties between Britain and a few
Of her colonies And if a lesson were
needed bj Britain as to the danger of
imperial greed and insatiable ambition
she has had It In the result of Ger
man weltpolltlk. But she has amply
demonstrated thai her greatest desire
is to establish bonds of moral if not
political union with this country and
her people seem confident of the fu
ture of civilization if the United Btates
and Britain the two great English
speakinc nations are Joined In tho
task of preserving the peace of the
world To this end it may be believed
that she would gladly see us take up a
far larger share of "the white man's
burden" than we seem nt present dis
posed to do.

Soldier Players Are
To Be Seen Here
On Next Monday
With only one girl In the troupe, thp
Camp Lewis players, which company
has twenty-five soldier members, will
arrive in Ogden Monday for the n
gagement Monday night at the Or
phenm theatre
Many men who served at Camp
Lewis from Ogden are well acQUfl III
ed with tho players, all of Whom bad
military training at the big cnn'nn
ment. Serjeant A. W. Hartford ar
rived as advance man In Ogden yes
terday and made final arrangeini nta
for the engagement here.
Tho Camp Lewis playerc claim dis
tinction among traveling companies
In more than one respect. Not only
are all twenty-flvo of the boys ap
pearing in the show former profes
sionals, but they have all served at
least six months at Camp Lewis Most
of them have spent a year and a half
at that cantonment. Even for mana
ger, advance men. musical director
and stage crow, the boys did not need
to go outside the enlisted personnel
of the camp to find as good a3 could
be had anywhere In the theatrical
business.
In another way this show Is per
' haps the first of Its kind. In the whole
performance there Is but one girl. Her
j name Is Mar Reynolds and she plays
the lead in a one act play, "Fright,"
by the Russian dramatist, Itreve.
Mi s Reynolds Is a California girl of
great beauty and charm. She has
been a leading lady in stock in oak
land, for a year. Her present part
gives her ample opportunity to show
the dramatic ability which makes her
, one of the most promising young ac
1 tresses on the American stage. Miss
Reynolds has been in war work for
'the last two years, so that this asso
j ciation with so many boys In khaki
; is no new experience for her. Mary
says it isn't a bit lonesome for her
land she never felt so well chaperoned

Flying Men Go
Through Ogden to
Salt Lake City
Twenty -three officers and fifty -two
enlisted men of the Victory Liberty
loan flying circus, traveling in a spe
cial train from Reno, their last place
of appearance, to Salt Lake passed
through Ojzden yesterday on a South
ern Pacific train at 5:15 o'clock. The
train stopped in Ogden for only 15
minutes, or only long enough to be
switched to the O. S. L. tracks.
With the exception of five, all of
the men of the circus have been ov
erseas where they were connected
with the LaFarttr esquadrllle They
bear the emblem of the eSQUadlille

tjlt.th ambulance unit.
The train was In command of Ma-
Jor Carl Spatz. Lieutenant W. H,
Thaw was with the flier?. Among the
party there were only twelve licenfed
pilots.
Three of the Salt Lake Liberty loan
committee mel the men at Ogdcn and
continued on to Salt Lake. Most of
the men wore gold stripes on their
left .inns signifying that they had been
overseas for 18 months and more.
Fourteen planes of four different
irnd, Is were on tho train. Among !
them were five captured German Fok- '
kers, which had been turned over by
the- government to the circus to aid
in the loan campaign. There were
also five Curtiss planes, two S. E.
fives and two English spads.
f ollowing is the program that will
be offered In Salt Lake:
Two Curtiss planes will take the
air promptly at 1:30 o'clock this af
ternoon for a general flight over the
city, during which time they will drop
Liberty Loan literature and dodpers.
As soon as they have completed this,
two German Fokkers will rise and at
tack the Curtiss machines. A regular
battle In the sky will ensue as If they I
were over a battle fronL and the four
aviators will employ every trick in
use on the war front.
Then two S. E. Fives, English ma
chines will go to the rescue of the
two Curtiss flyers, and after the Ger
man Fokkers have been driven away,
tun Kncllsh Spads will go up and then
the trick flying will begin. The Spad
.mil S E. machines are well known,
for their ability to do trick flying.
It could not be learned yesterday
whether one of the machines would
make a flight from Salt Lake to Og
den md give the people an opportun
ity to witness some of the daring
tricks of the famous flyers.

the band you must keep up with the
