H Upon Mr. Harrimans return from the northwest, he should be invited to the limit of courtesy and urged to the limit of politeness to remain here long enough for a conference with a committee of the city council and the Weber club, on the subject of a viaduct on street over the railroad tracks. Twenty-fourt- h If the city administration and the president of the Weber club will at once take steps in this direction it is possible that a result may be secured to Ogden which will be justly regarded by all the people as a lasting triumph. That Ogden has been so long without this viaduct has been the great misfortune of her citizens. Recently one man lost his life for the want of such a bridge; and, aside from the sentimentalities that clustered around his lovely life, Louis B. Adams was in a money sense worth more to the city and county every five years than the entire cost of As a producer and shipper he the viaduct. was worth more to the railway companies than the money which the bridge will cost. Ogden is welding more and more closely together all the population and business interests of this county to make the Greater Ogden. With the sugar factory located just west of the city, with the large increase of traffic attendant thereupon, it is now necessary that the viaduct should be built. No delay should be permitted. As stated, the right time to act is now while Mr. Ilarriman is in the west. If for any reason he shall fail to return this way, it will still be appropriate to advise him of the needs of Ogden in fact the courteous demands of Ogden in this respect, while he is in this part of the world and the impressiveness of the subject can make its better effect upon his mind. What is needed is a bridge across the railroad tracks, stretching from Wall avenue to a point a short distance east of the river. Then a street should be opened from Twenty-firs- t street to Twenty-eigstreet along the east bank of the river, this street from the north and south connecting at Twenty-fourt- h street with the viaduct so that there would be no necessity for teams to cross the railroad tracks at grade between Twenty-firs- t and Twenty- -' ht . eighth. There should not be an$ delay in making this effort. A prompt conjunction of the city authorities with the business men of the Weber club would bring about a result most satisfactory to Ogden and in the end to the railroad companies.' It is possible that in concert with the railroad companies more extended improvements than this one viaduct may be secured and the committee should labor to that end. If successmuch be benefitted will more that ful, Ogden and that much more grateful for the benefit. But there should be no failure to get at least this one bridge over the tracks. The railway advan-tangeo- , us companies which have done so much for Ogden and for which this city has done so much will no doubt be glad to join in this work necessary for the business of the community, the safety of human life and the protection of the railways from costly legal responsibilities. UTAH STATE JOURNAL, SATURDAY, that he may not receive unjust condemnation. This is a courteous and proper statement of the case. Surely the legitimate saloonkeeper" is as much interested as any other citizen in dissociating his own business from the odium which will naturally attach to it if his business and that of the dives are bound together so that an attack upon the dives must be considered by him as an attack upon his own business. Zeitgeist makes another point of great importance; and it may well have enlargement to the public attention. The business men of the city engaged in other pursuits than liquor dealing (and even some of the legitimate saloon-keepershave failed to receive their share of the patronage which has been bestowed upon Ogden by the employees on the cut-of- f; for the reason that many of these employees spent all their earnings in the dives instead of spending their earnings with the legitimate business houses of the city. Some of these men know nothing of Ogden as it is, but judge it entirely by the dive into which they were inveigled and where they spent all their money, only to be sent to their work penniless, shattered, and digusted. On the cut-owork, too, there were scores and perhaps hundreds of first class men looking for permanent location. Such men might have been added to the population of Ogden, bringing their industry and their earnings here, buying homes and contributing permanently to the community. They were lost to us because of the evil fame which was spread abroad concerning Ogden by the return of their fellow workers who had fallen into the traps of the dives. Zeitgeist points the moral. He shows that it is as distinctly to the advantage of the legi- DECEMBER er for the price of a ONE Thats about the way they are going; now at BURTs.

THE REAL POINJ. The article from ' Zeitgeist, appearing in todays issue of this paper, expresses the views of one of the most progressive merchants of the city. It shows clearly that he does not oppose saloons which are operated within the law, any more than he opposes any other legitimate business. It also demonstrates that he recognizes the disadvantage to the city of having establishments ostensibly for the sale of liquor but in reality as traps for the stranger and fences for the criminal. Surely the discrimination is broad enough for every one to appreciate. Under the law and under the general sentiment of this part of the country, the legitimate saloon" is a business house and entitled to the same protection that other business houses demand and receive. Under the law and the general sentiment of this part of the country the illegitimate saloon " is a dive and is not entitled to any favors or protection at the hands of either officers of the law or the public. The correspondent makes the distinction plain, and he asks the legitimate saloonkeeper" to clear himself from association with and support of the cause of the dives in order There is still a good deal of nonsense in the dispatches about the Smoot case. The latest is a statement that if the taking of a secret oath shall be proved, the junior senator will b$ unseated." In the testimony voluntarily given by Apostle John Henry Smith and thirteen other members of the church before Judge Anderson in 1889, it was candidly stated that the witnesses had taken a secret oath, but inasmuch as they averred that the oath was not in any sense treasonable to the United States government it could have no bearing whatever upon the case then at issue before Judge Anderson. So this is not the point which will determine the Smoot case. Setting aside the charge of polygamy, the case will probably stand or fall against the Hon. Reed Smoot uponjthc inquiry whether he owes a higher allegiance to the revelations which come from God to the prophet, seer, and revelator of the Church, than he does to the earthly laws of this country, 4 Mark Hanna advised the Republican committee to stand Pat. It is also requested to stand Perry. 1 VdC JR-- Sterling presents the DramaUe Comedy Novelty Success of the Past Three Seasons the Artistic Comedienne Rose Melville...

J The governor of Utah has stepped to the front of the stage just in time to catch the lime light. In the language of the day, it was up to Heber M. Wells and he responded to the cue. He has notified the Utah Fuel company that it must cease to carry things with such high hand in Carbon county. And that is enough. The Utah Fuel company will act according to the suggestion, or it will get into trouble with the state authorities, including the militia. If the company's officers, its guards, and its bad men" fail to heed this courteous and emphatic intimation of the will of this state, they will probably find martial law declared in ,the district which they are terrorizing, and some of them will be run into the guardhouse. The fuel companies have abused their privilege; they have abused the confidence of the state; and the right man to tell them to stop short was the governor. q Odv Saturday, Dec. fiT" g; It should be read by all who are interested in the permanent well being of the Greater Ogden. one. uC Make your sel ections early.
