Show DAILY UTAH STATE JOURNAL, TUESDAY, 4 OGDEN, UTAH. J. CANNON. EDITOR. TZffi STATE TROOPS IN THE FIELD . The sending of troops to Carbon county bv the governor on the request of the sheriff is a most unfortunate necessity. Utah has been so proud of her record in the respect of the relations of employer and employee that this avoidable and miserable situation in Carbon county comes as a distressing shock to the entire community. With every possible sympathy and respect for organized labor, with a full recognition that strikes are sometimes not only excusable, but praiseworthy, there is a point at which the most devoted friend of organized labor must pause. That point is where strikers resort to violence, where they break the laws, where they discredit the orders to which they belong and do irreparable injury to the very cause for which they and the sympathizing thinkers of the world are striving namely, the securing unto labor of an adequate share of that which labor produces. Governor Wells has acted with his usual decision of character. Confronted by a situation, he did not stop to theorize or palter with it, but acted as he was bound by his oath of office to act. In sending troops therc it is believed that their very presence will avert serious encounters between the' strikers and the ife except as we breathe nostrils. It is a splendid thing' for us to extend sympathy to republics justly struggling against monarchies; or to legitimate insurrections of liberty loving people who rise in the majesty of human rights to oppose tyrannies. 3ut it is quite another thing for us to sever 'rom an already existing republic its territorial possessions, to set up a government which could not exist except by the virtue of our might, to demand recognitition therefor from all the civilized world, and, in so doing, to violate the solemn covenant made by our country to God and man. Nations, like individuals, are subject to the eternal law of retribution; and we shall in no wise escape its consequences.

Following is a resume of the situation: First, the miners made certain just de- mands. Second, the operating companies refused some of these demands. Third, the miners walked out. Fourth, the strikers resorted to violence to prevent the companies from breaking the strike. Fifth, the sheriff announced, to the governor that he was unable to cope with the situation and asked for troops. Sixth, the governor sent the commanding officer of the national guard of this state to the scene of commotion to make a careful inquiry and report. Seventh, the governor called out the troops and ordered them to Carbon county. From the foregoing it is quite easy for any man to draw the line between the just attitude of the strikers and the point where injustice begins. At that same exact point their own danger commences. There are two strong reasons why the majority of the people in this state will hope for an early and peaceful settlement of this question. One is because the' desire to see the interests of labor advanced by steady, irresistible and popular progress; and the other because any conflict of the state troops with strikers would injure the capital and enterprises of the state for years to come. and were a part of the land purchased. The action Is to annul the deed and fot damages. W. L. Uaglnnls and V. Gideon appear for the plaintiff and George Halverson for defendant A FLYING ROLLER RELIGION. The craze for the outre in religion is never ending. Possibly, it has its origin in the modern inclination to change and to faddism; or, more likely, it is founded in that deeper yearning implanted by nature in the human mind for some kind of association and fixed belief upon which a hope of eternal reward can be sustained. One of the most startling of the HOW WE TOOK PANAMA. It was under the administration of James Polk that the treaty between this country and New Granada (the government of New Granada having been since succeeded by Colombia) was presented to the senate and rati- I. Charity The banquet was a sumptuous affair, and after ample justice had been done to the choice viands the members assembled settled down to spend the evening with wit. wisdom and humor. Joseph Ches was selected as toastmaster. A number of toasts were proposed and happy responses made by the following gentlemen: Messrs. Cor-leHodge, Mead, Dallmore, Ballard, Custead, Roberts, Christensen, Wedell, Turner, Gideon and Forbes. The lodge Is In a prosperous condition and It Is probable that next year they will erect for their own use a castle hall Such evenings as that Indulged In last night do much to assist the order and provides foe the Knights a pleasant and Instructive that breath into its In transmitting that important document, President Polk emphasized to the senate the fact that New Granada proposed to guarantee to the citizens of the United States the right of passage across the Isthmus of Panama, over the natural roads or over any canal or railroad which might be constructed to unite the two seas. But this obligation upon New Granada was conditional and entailec the following obligation upon us: That the United States shall make a similar guarantee to New Granada of the neutrality of this portion of her territory and her sovereignty over the same. Lest there should be any doubt of the explicit character of this guarantee let the reader weigh closely the following utterance from the message of Prcsiden The guarantee meaning our guaranPolk. tee of New Granadas sovereignty does no extend to the territories of New Granada generally but is confined to the single province o the Isthmus of Panama where we acquire by the treaty a common and coextensive right o The guarpassage with herself. antee of the soveignity of New Granada over the Isthmus is a natural consequence of the guarantee of its neutrality and there docs not seem to be any other practical mode of securing the neutrality of this territory. New Granada would not consent to yield up this province in order that it may become a neutral state; and, if she should, it is not suf-- fied. ; ; : modern cults is that of Dowie and his Zionism. This man, not remarkably able, not possessed of exalted character, not having any of the external graces, has been able to establish himself as the divinely ordained ruler over the minds and property of tens of thousands of believers; the majority of whom are ready to sacrifice all earthly possessions, including life, in obedience to his behest. His methods are too well known to require elaboration. And, far more- - startling than the Dowie fad is the practice of the Flying Rollers, a band of religious fanatics who have established themselves at Benton Harbor, in Michigan. They are gathered from all quarters of the country, and are now awaiting the beginning of the millenium, which they predict will dawn in the year 1917. The intervening period of fourteen years is to be spent by them in preparation for the reign of righteousness. Their firm faith is that they themselves will never die, but that the women of their number must not bear children during this waiting period for such children would perish before the millenium shall dawn. They wear no hats nor shoes. Their hair grows to inordinate length and in tangles. They have taken possession of the streets of Benton Harbor, and are swarming in the surrounding country. Their leaders are known as Benjamin and Mary, husband and wife, who affect no special grace beyond that possessed by any others of the mystical band, but who are, in fact, the supreme rulers. They eat nothing but vegetables, and they call three and one-ha- lf hours work a day's stint. They appear to be gathering converts rapidly; and it is becoming a problem in their neighborhood as to whatshal be done with them by the practical, hard headed people, whose conservative ways have been greatly upset by their advent. WEAMER GETS FIFTY DAYS. Carl We&mer, arrested for frequenting a house of 111 fame, had a trial before Judge Howell last night He denied the charge, but the evidence was conclusive and he was convicted. In his possession a set of crooked dice was found. 'When asked by the judge where he got them he said he gave a man half a dollar for them. Being Interrogated as to whether he had examined them and knew they were crooked, he replied that he never looked much at anything for half a dollar. Judge Howell: "You can look at fifty days," and as the $50 Is not forthcoming. he Is still in JalL HORSES WERE POISONED.
