Show DAILY 4 UTAH STATE JOURNAL OGDEN, UTAH. FRANK J. CANNON, EDITOR. BRIGHAM YOUNGS NATAL DAY. No man is more secure of place in Ameri-ta- n history than Brigham Young, whose natal day is celebrated by hundreds of thousands of people on this June first. By the adherents of the faith which he professed and proclaimed he is honored as reverently as any prophet of any age has been honored by followers when he was living and believers when he was dead. By all other citizens who make fair esteem of achievement he is respected as the greatest community builder of his epoch. THE ARGUMENT IS ADMITTED. The Provo Enquirer tells us that it would have been an unprecedented proceeding for Senator Smoot to have met, from the floor of the senate, the issue which was raised against him. Certainly. And yet genius successfully docs unprecedented things. The Enquirer has simply stated one phase of the State Journals proposition. It was an unprecedented proceeding to elect an apostle of the church to the United States senate; and the contention of this paper has been that when the Republican party did this it should have made preparation for a defense by the voice of The Enquirer's plea Republican genius. amounts in effect merely to this: that Senator Smoot is commonplace, and that he could not after violating all precedents by being elected to the senate venture to violate one more. The Enquirer is not alone in these admissions which amount really to a plea of inability on the part of the junior senator to meet the conflict which he himself provoked. It is noticeable throughout Utah that those organs and those boosters, that indulged in such flaming talk of what Apostle Smoot would do when he should go to the senate, are now humiliating him by silence on the point or by making the apology that it would have been an uprecedented proceeding for him to attack the opposition, make a breach in their walls and carry the enemys camp by as' sault. Unhappily the United States senate does not appear to be bound in general by the rule which is set up for Senator Smoot in jiarticu-la- n The senate is now engaged in the un- of trying a whole precedented proceeding of the election of one man. people because Is it not plain that the chief argument of the State Journal has been admitted by the senator's friends? They pushed him for the place of senator on the statement that he would immedediately take leadership at Washington as he had done in Utah county and in ecclesiastical circles; his election provoked a conflict which was foretold by his political opponents and which his friends laughed to scorn on the ground that Reed Smoot would take care of any fight that might arise; and now his journalistic and other devotees having no other excuse to offer the public are claiming that it would have been an unfor him to do the precedented proceeding his boosters which during the camvery thing paign said that he could do and would do if elected. The State Journal has constantly said that Reed Smoot was a good man and a fairly able man; it has insisted that he was not a genius. To this last proposition the Enquirer now makes unexpected and candid confession. f LET OGDEN HAVE A BETTER WATER SYSTEM. Now that the water case has been decided against the city of Ogden by the supreme court of the state, it is time for the people to agitate insistently for a definite policy which shall make provision for the citys future needs. As, matters stand today the water company will not make larger investments in water rights and the improvement of the plant particularly as there is on the records an ordinance whose provisions the water company people feel arc confiscatory; and the city does not add to its water rights because it has no immediate use for additional water being without a plant and having no. possible immediate revenue. The general opinion favors municipal ownership and the almost universal experience of UTAH STATE JOURNAL, American cities ratifies this judgment. It is true that the usual cost of maintenance and operation of a municipal water plant is greater than the similar expense of a system under private ownership; and occasionally there are objections that a city water department is used as a political machine. But the great good .to be obtained more than countervails aginst these objections. The city will study the public need and make investments for the public benefit without the demand of instant dividend return; the ultimate large profits of a well conducted water system will revert to the municipal treasury; and so far as the claim of political manipulation is concerned that would apply equally to any other department of a city government. Some arrangement should be made at once. Either the city should establish a water system of its own with an ample supply secured to answer all needs of the people for another generation; or some conclusion should be reached with the present water company by which the danger of litigation and the threat of confiscation will be determined, justifying the company in making needed extensions and securing a large additional and fully adequate water supply. It is extremely shortsighted to allow this imperative need of the people to be subjected to the variableness of either political aspirations or the narrow demand for annual private profit.

An enterprising minister in Denver has been gathering from the young men of his church their views concerning the girls they would not like to marry. One youth writes that he would not want the girl who goes down town every afternoon, attends all the dances possible and between times goes to the Another objects to the girl dressmaker. who makes an idol of the man with money. A third insists that the really wrong girl is the one who is soft and easy and who runs' after a young man, makes all kinds of excuses to call upon him or get him to talk to her and who because she is so easy is joked about in her set. These are all very trite sentiments. It is true that the average young man does not want to marry a spendthrift girl neither one who is a spendthrift of time nor a spendthrift of money nor a spendthrift of her reputation; a sensible man does not desire to marry a girl .who is a flirt, nor one who is so easy that the first man to offer himself is sure that he can get her as a wife.

They are as pure and as loyal as their mothers were; and also, as their mothers were, they are superior to the men who court them or who through selfishness and superciliousness do not court them. If here and there one girl goes down town every afternoon it is usually because the man who pretends to be paying serious addresses to her desires to see her down town. If here and there a girl is too easy, it is because the man whom she admires has encouraged her in a formation of that manner. Far be it from the commentator to encourage the down town habit among girls or the soft and easy disposition; but even the down town or the "soft and easy girl is usually far superior in mind and morals to the men with whom she associates. Marriage is on the decline; but that is almost entirelv because the young men of today are too selfish to incur the responsibility of family, and not because the girls are too extravagant or too flirty or too soft and easy it is just because too many young men spend all their earnings on themselves, and because they prefer to flit around and spoil otherwise splendid girls who might marry decent men, except for the extensive habit of other men of brushing the bloom from the grape or the dew from the rose.
