Show DAILY 4 STATE JOURNAL UTAH STATE JOURNAL THE FOOLISH AGITATION. OGDEN, UTAH. Will some well informed Democrat be kind enough to enlighten us as to the value of the work now' being done in New York by the people? The paramount issue of these days is the restoration of the old ideals of the Democratic party and the Democratic principles of the people of the United States. Not only has the constitution been rejected, but all the institutions which 'the fathers founded have been endangered by the Republican methods of the last eight years; and, futher-mor- e, the very existence of this nation as a republic is threatened. Today we are swiftly gravitating to the condition of France, which is merely a republic in name and is largely ruled by militarism and a vain and foolish aristocracy. Above all else rises this mighty question. It is larger than tariff; it is larger than the money issue; it is larger than reorganization; it is larger than reiteration of any or all platforms of the past; and it is infinitely larger than the individual views of any leader, however much trusted by Democracy. To stay efficiently the effects of Rebublican rule, a Democratic victory is essential. From the place of a minority, Democracy can only unavailingly protest against the evils. From the place of power, it can eradicate them. The Repulican party is torn by dissensions. The president is not popular in New York; a fatal schism exists, in the party in Wisconsin; the farmersareat war with the stand pat tariff idea in Iowa; and a strife exists between Republican leaders which is most dangerous to their party success in Illinois. While these things exist, the Democracy with united purpose should be moving on to a certain victory, as triumphant for the party as necessary for the people. That man is lacking in either judgment or devotion, so it seems to us, who spreads strifes and bitterness among Democrats in the face of the enemy. Our first duty is to rescue the institutions of this republic, to restore the integrity of government, to abolish militarism, and to eradicate the tendency to imperial aristocracy in the land; and then, and then only, will it be time to discuss the minor differences between Democrats. Once more, will some Democrat tell us what can possibly be gained for the people of the United States or the Democratic party, by antagonizing any Democrat no matter what his views may be upon anything less than the vital question. ? .

Just think how hot flower it is at Chicago these days. First, there is the consarned temperature along about 100 in the shade; then there is the blasted humidity about 70; and then there is the somewhat warm proposition presented by the advocates of an plank for the platform. How would you like to be chasing your two hundred pounds of good American meat around from one sweltering delegation to another sweltering delegation, melting down four collars a day and shedding oceans of good costly perspiration in order to prevent the Republican party of the United States from making a grotesque spectacle of the Republicans of Utah? That, in proportion to their weight, is the present fate of the Utah delegates. Instead of all which, you can sit on a hearing the clink of the ice in the pitch r, talking to your friends about the trials of George and Reed, and extending to them over the range and into the seething Mississippi valley, your sincere condolences. How grateful you ought to be to your enemies for their great and successful fight against you, antecedent to the recent state convention! And how they must be hiring cheap niggers to kick them all over their several townships for not letting you get yourself into this entanglement! Once more, Senator Kearns, here is to you! It is an Irishman for luck every time! anti-polyga- cool-piazz- a LAW, NOT RAGE. The cruelest of all cruel discussions is that in which some people of bad taste are indulging at the present time; debating whether the burning of the General Slocum, to the destruction of hundreds of innocent lives, was the act of Providence and if so what human sin it was intended to punish. The All Ruler of the universe has made !iis inexorable laws. They govern the elements. They control humanity. No human creature can subvert those laws, and no human being can antagonize them without producing suffering for himself or for others. . UTAH The steamer Slocum went up in a holocaust, carrying hundreds of lives out of this mortal sphere, because the element of fire seized hold of inflammable material; and that clement of fire, acting according to the natural law, found scope for its operation because of human recklessness. The Father of All does not visit innocence with pain; but He leaves us in a world of law, to govern ourselves according to its operations and to be guided in our knowledge of these operations by the experience which comes to us from personal observation and from traditions which have been handed down through the centuries. The Sunday school children of New York were punished by mans disregard of natural law, and not by the rage of God. MINES FOR OGDEN. er chain to drag the average Salt Laker into a mining investment. But during the thirty years since that time millions have poured into the pockets of Salt Lake people the city has been beautified, its business institutions enlarged and maintained, as the result of the dividends which have come from the profitable mines owned by residents there. Mining is growing to be more and more of a certainty, because of the greater care in business management and because of the more advanced scientific method adopted in prosecuting mining work. Many good enterprises are represented in this city; but the most of them languish because of a lack oi support. If our businessmen would interest themselves in the legitimate and well officered propositions which are presented by our local mining men, it seems reasonably, if not abso- great HOW TO SPELL JUNE 22, 1904.

Tha True Patronymic of tha Great Scotch Poet In the review of Mr. Millar's Liter ary History of Scotland" in the Spec tator of Sept. 12 the writer says: The fathur of Burns spelt his name, but not Burns' or 'Burness,' 'Burnea.' There la, I think, ample evidence to the contrary, as appears from the following facts: .hen a certain Walter Campbell moved from Argyllshire to j Glenberyle in the Mearns early In the seventeenth century he assumed the name of or Burness.

The poet always signed himself Robert Burness" in his letters for about two years after his fathers death In 1784 the last extant letter with that signature being one addressed to Mr. Aiken, April 8, 1780. After this date he appears to have adopted the spelling with which we are all familiar, Robert Burns.

The Park City Record says that the people of Utah are satisfied with the Hon. Thomas Kearns and that the next legislature will elect him to the senate, notwithstanding the few of a sheets and the opporavings weekly sition of his political enemies. That would be a hundred to one shot, except for the fact that there aint going to be no Republican successor to Senator Kearns. It will be a Democratic legislature, and Joseph L. Rawlins or some other Democrat will take the place. The papers tell of the Russian battleships attacking Japanese transports laden with sick soldiers. Yes, they were probably somewhat sick after the attack.
