FOR OUR SUPREME DEVOTION. There is no other city between the mighty seas that has better natural opportunity for as a center of homes and development commercial power than has Ogden. The great shipping point for fruitful valleys, the inevitable railway center, the ideal location for homes with abundant water, and with scenery so majestic as that by day time and by night time it thrills the soul with splendid aspirations; Ogden has such place and such surroundings as that she only needs to build upon the foundation which God has made, in order to be a metropolis. To her natural advantages, she adds a business energy and fervor the like of which have not been exhibited elsewhere in this state. It is .no unkind reflection upon Salt Lake City to say that Ogden far outclasses her in possession of rustling and aggressive business men, just as she outranks the capital in the possession of natural advantages for city building. It should be the part of duty for every Ogden citizen to strengthen the natural and acquired advantages of his town, by a personal devotion as gratifying to himself in the long run as it will be useful to the community. Whatever of differences may exist in politics, in religion, in business rivalries, upon one thing we may all well be united and that is to build the greater and the fairer Ogden to make of this city the best governed, the most homelike, the most prosperous of all the municipalities within the intermountain regions. That is a cause for the supreme devotion of every citizen. A GOOD DIVISION. While one section of the Republican press is engaged in claiming that Judge Parker represents the Populistic and anarchistic elements of society, another section is laboriously proving to the American people that all these forces are rushing to the support of Roosevelt While one section of the Republican press is engaged in demonstrating that the money powers are supporting Judge Parker, another section immersed in the labor of showing that all of the conservative and capitalistic people are devoted to Roosevelt. There is not much difficulty in segregating the facts from these absurdly contradictory claims. First, Judge Parker represents united Democracy; and the purposes of the united Democracy arc shown in the platform adopted by the party at St. Louis and in the resolution which accepted Judge Parker's telegram on the monetary standard. In addition to this party strength a large conservative element of the people, including many individuals possessing money, will support Judge Parker because they consider that he is a safe and strong man, while they consider. Mr. Roosevelt an unsafe and strong man; and a great many former Republicans will support Judge- Parker because they believe in giving instant stay to the dangerous colonial policy which has been foisted upon the American people without their consent. Some individuals who joined the Democratic movement in 18 and 1900 because of the supposed radical tendencies of those years, may now default upon the party and support President Roosevelt instead of supporting Judge Parker. That they will do this because of superior confidence in Roosevelt is not certain; but rather because of indignation at the Democratic party in adopting a "safe and sane" policy and in making a safe and sane candidacy. Our political population is somewhat mobile. Many rich men and many poor men are somewhat easily transferable from one party st to another, according to the way and prejudice may direct. And the people of the United States will witness some considerable transference of this character in this - self-intere- year 1904. of the bound by party Republican party, not strictly in the man safe a desire presidency. rule, which Theodore Roosevelt is an unsafe man, and he will attract all those elements of the Democratic party, not bound by strict party rule, which desire an unsafe man in the presidency. And there you have it. And it is a good division. and he will attract all those elements DIPLOMATIC. NOT WARLIKE CRISIS. The war talk in England against Russia seems to the rest of the world for a moment to create a crisis. And yet when one remembers the almost incessant incitement by Russsian newspapers for a declaration of war or provocative war action against Great Britain at the time of the conflict in South Africa, one is inclined to believe that our British brothers will pause as did the Russians five years ago. Like the czar of Russia, King Edward of England is for peace. All the influence of his personality will be thrown against the war party in England. Civilization would not approve the act of Great Britain, if it were now to take violent measures against Russia already involved in a serious strife as was Great Britain herself involved with the Boers. Any question which may arise concerning the seizure of English vessels by Russian ships can be settled by diplomacy as such question would be settled if there were no war between Russia and Japan. There is another strong reason why England should discreetly pause. Any demonstration by her against Russia in this hour would probably provoke other European powers to similar activity; and a general conflict might ensue. The wise heads of Great Britain, foreseeing this possibility, will support King Edward's splendid policy of peace making and peace maintenance and will exhaust all other means before inciting to a conflict whose progress would involve all the great nations of Europe and probably result in a new alignment of political boundaries. As Great Britain was permitted to fight it out with the Boers for three years without having to meet any other European power; so probably Great Britain will permit Russia to fight it out with the Japs. The crisis in Anglo- - Russian relations is a diplomatic crisis and not a warlike crisis. THE RACE QUESTION. linaffactad. The strike of the butchers and packers has had little or no effect on the local market further than that no eastern meat has been received for several days. The choice cuts" which come from the east are not a large factor In the local markets. Several of the hotels and restaurants are the principal purchasers of the Imported meat, but for the home domestic trade it la not much in demand. So far it has had absolutely no effect on the provision market There Is no diminution in the receipt of ham, lard, salt pork, etc., and the price Is In no way affected. POSTAL CLERKS WIN. An Interesting game of baseball was played on the tabernacle square last evening between the Southern Pacific mechanic sand the railway postal clerks, which resulted In a victory for the latter by a score of 10 to 9. Both teams played winning ball and It was nobody's game until the last man was retired. Both pitchers were effective and had good control. as follows: The batteries were Hollingsworth and Watson for the mechanics. Rlover and Dobbs for the postal clerks. TREASURY 8URPLU8 IS APPROACHING ZERO MARK question. It looks as if the brutal threat made by the convention at Chicago had been intended to awaken the fires of prejudice as well as to justify the extinguishment of a part of the representation of the South in the national congress and in the electoral college. It is easy for a Northerner who has never been in the South to utter great platitudes of unselfishness about the man and brother. But the North does not accept with any greater generosity the negro population, when it assembles in large numbers, than does the South; and the philosophy with which the North bears with the question is just about such philosophy as one man shows in enduring the toothache in another man's jaw. Indianj. is one of the Northern states which has a considerable negro population; and it is no where near as patient with its black people as is any Southern state. The following paragraph is taken from the Indianapolis Sentinel: Another young white mac was shot by a negro yesterday because a party of young men who were swimming in Pleasant Run refused to yield the place to a party of negroes. Have we not had about enough of the Not only that, but ) bad nigger importation? is it not about time for the negroes to remember that, while they are entitled to have their rights respected, it is very important that they respect the right of others? The people of Indianapolis are getting exceedingly impatient. Negro desperadoes haunt every dive and alleyway. The city is full of disreputable negro joints of all kinds. A growing impudence and disrespect for others is so clearly apparent that it does not need to be pointed out. The authorities should make a special effort to clear out the bad nigger element and it ought to be done speedily. 1 The Princess Chimay,the notorious American beauty who ran the matrimonial gamut in Europe, is now obliged to wear a mask. Her complexion has turned purple from using cosmetics and not a royal purple either.
