Show DAILY UTAH UTAH STATE JOURNAL OGDEN, UTAH. FRANK J. CANNON, EDITOR. OGDEN S ATMOSPHERE. The sentimental or business atmosphere of a city is all important to it. Boston has the musical atmosphere and people flock there from all parts of the United States to pursue their study in the art divine. Philadelphia has a medical atmosphere and it graduates hundreds, perhaps thousands, of young doctors for various parts of the United States in evfinancial ery month of roses. New York b as a atmosphere, and men with large prospects go there because every breeze and whisper is redolent of money. In our own state already are seen the atmospheric effects of things done and words said in the years gone by,and steadiatly and assuredly are being created the mosphere conditions which mark the community characteristics and distinctions. One of the reasons why the citizens of Ogden fought strenuously against the retention of the slot machines and why they object to dives is that they do not wish this place to acquire the atmosphere of the wide open town. Once acquired that atmosphere and that reputation will cling for a generation. Long after the cause which gave .birth to it would have passed away; long after the sports had gone to find fields of newer and easier fools; long after the political travails in which the levee participated should have been forgotten; the atmosphere of a wide open town would have clung to Ogden. Great business enterprises do not seek such places for their establishment. They like the atmosphere of steady, safe community life rather than the atmosphere of sport. Many a town has done itself an injury which has lasted a quarter of a century in order to gain two or three years of flush money. It has acquired the wrong atmosphere. What Ogden is striving for today is the railroad atmosphere, the business atmosphere, the steady atmosphere; and this will attract the right kind of people from all over the United States. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT MUST FIGHT FOR IT. President Roosevelt dearly loves a fight, and from present indications he will enjoy the one of his life next year. Instead of gliding easily and uninterruptedly into the nomination, it looks as if he would have to fight his way inch by inch to that glory. He is not the only strenuous man in the United States, nor by any means the most adroit. It appears to be quite certain that he has antagonized Senator Hanna, chairman of the Republican party of the United States, and probably the ablest field general who has led any force in politics during recent years. Senator Hanna, Senator Platt and other mas ters of political strategy will probably make the President's journey to his nomination as difficult and as exciting as a ride on the breakbeam of a runaway freight car. Their hope is to wrest the honor from him and to bestow it upon Senator Hanna, Senator Fairbanks, Secretary Hay or some other man not less eager as a Republican and a tool of the trusts but more reliable and diplomatic in their service. The old dislike of Republican leaders to President Roosevelt which was placed in evidence at the Philadelphia convention has in no sense received its quietus. Instead of making friends with these rivals he has further antagonized them. They made him against his own will and judgment in order to place him, as they hoped, forever beyond the reach of the presidency. The death of the lamented McKinley upset all their plans and so de moralized them that for the time being that it seemed as if Roosevelt would simply claim and take the nomination as his own. But now they are after him with as much subtlety as vindictiveness; and they arc masters of both. If he shall attain the coveted honor it will be after the hardest fight and the roughest ride of his hard fighting and rough riding life. His all too partial friends seem to think that the antagonism of the bosses of the Republican party will the more endear him to the people of the United States, since it is claimec that this antagonism is because of his lack of pliancy. Such an argument will not prevai with thinking men. President Roosevelt has been full of great pretensions and has mouthed many high sentiments; but at no point has vice-preside- nt STATE JOURNAL, defaulted upon the expectation of the trusts and the dominant interests and purposes of his party. The real reason why the leaders fight him is because of his monstrous selfesteem, his utter disregard of the feelings of others, his flamboyant declarations against the criminal partners of his party, and the with which he conducts irresponsible self-wi- ll the affairs of his high office. The chances largely favor his nomination at the present hour; but he stands every moment in danger and the work of one instant may so change the situation that his ambition will be doomed. ie THE CHIEF TOcTD EcATER. If reports are true President Ide Wheeler of the state university of California is entitled to be unanimously elected chief Lickspittle of the Society of Servile Sycophants. The Sacramento Bee says that he stopped a Christian Endeavor base ball game on the campus at Berkeley on Thanksgiving day for the reason that "the game would be an insult to the president of the United States who had set aside that day for the offering of thanks to God. This kind of toad eating may be gratifying to Roosevelt but there is nothing to indicate that it is acceptable to God. There is no way of proving the suggestion but possibly the Great Creator of the Universe would have been just as well satisfied to see some healthy youngster swat a baseball for a was to hear this unreasoning home run insensate adulation of Roosevelt. as-II-e The common stock of the United States steel corporation the trust, is now selling at ten dollars a share. One year ago it was forty dollars and six months previous to that it dollars. Needless to ranged about sixty-fiv- e say it is this common stock which was sold to the common people by the trust magnates. The whole thing was a common low down swindle. Before one dollar can be paid in the way of dividends upon common stock more than one half billion dollars of preferred stock held by the trust controllers, must receive a dividend of seven per cent, equal to more than 35,000,000 annually.
