Salt Lake City, Utah, June 19, 1903. Editor Truth: In your issue of June G, the services of Lieutenant W. C. Webb, Instructor of military tactics in the High school, are spoken of as unnecessary and in efficient. I suppose that the board of education has never imagined that the brief military training of the High o school would fit the cadets in any great measure for the exigencies of Commenting upon the candidacy of actual warfare though, of course, it Mr. Beveridge for the vice presidency must be apparent to any person that the instruction given would contribute at least something to the consummation urged by Washington and so de voutly wished for by every patriot, that in time of peace we should prepare for war. Military Instruction in the High school, I apprehend, is chiefly desirable in that it disciplines. . .i says: "Mr. presidency should come from the to west, but he should be picked by the Beveridge would not be acceptable west from tl,o the senate, where a good presiding Republicansmenof inthe the party.

The Republican candidate for the vice in favor of meeting and adjourning without nominating a ticket, has to the weight of numbers and now advocates placing a ticket in the field. As a starter he suggests the following slate: For mayor, Joseph L. Rawlins; for city attorney, William II. King; for city treasurer, L. S. Hills; for city recorder, Simon Bamberger; for city auditor, Elias A. Smith; for judge of the municipal court, B. II. Roberts. In this connection It may be stated that the suggestion has boon made that every candidate be informed that no contributions will be retime and more miles, ceived.

This will bege a habit of discipline and obedience to proper authority that the boy wil carry into the home, the workshop, and the office, and will display in the performance of his duties as an Amer lean citizen. For my own part I would welcome military training in every school not so much because it is military, as because it is an excellen thing that the community should im plant a few disciplinary lessons which are so often neglected in the home The important thing in education after all is not the ground covered, but the habits formed. The military instructor in the High school receives, if I mistake not, s of the scarcely more than of the High schoo! average salary teacher do the results not justify the outlay? But it is said that Lieutenant Webb is inattentive to his duties. It chiefly to say a word on this charge that I address you this communication. Lieutenant Webb went out with the Utah batteries to the Philippines and was under my command through out our campaigns. I found him to be one of the most thorough and painstaking soldiers I ever met In poin of efficiency, reliability and thorough ness, he had no superior among the men of the command. He had been a captain of infantry in the national guard prior to his volunteer service, and had one of the best companies in the guard, as was represented to me. Ignorance and inattention to duty are so far from his characteristics, as learned them under trying conditions, that I can but believe that your judg. ment is the result of misinformation Very respectfully yours, east To save many hours take advantage of service via the UNION PACIFIC AND CHICAGO, MILWAUKEE ST.

No other season, perhaps, in this locality presents such contrasts of color, form and variable beauty as the month of June. The verdure of heaths and copse and tree is beyond the power of man to paint with words. The drifting clouds In ever varying shapes and shades furnish a fit counterpart to Natures ver-decarpet spread out oer hill and vale. The clear noon sunshine beating down upon the children of the earth at play fills every pore of life with welcome gladness and quickens the pulse of being with high tides of great desire. The night is scarce less gorgeous than the day. Clear skies in which the quiet stars sparkle like jewels in a womans hair.

Some months ago, Truth began a crusade in favor of permitting all the book dealers in the city to submit bids to the Library board for new books desired. This movement was not supported by any other paper; In fact, some of them indirectly frowned upon it, but in the end the efforts of this journal have triumphed, as will be seen. At the meeting of the council on June 8, tho mater was brought up and it was ordered that each book company wishing to bid on books to be furnished, be given a list of same as they are needed. Tly this method the several dealers will be enabled to compete with each other and books will no doubt bo purchased much cheaper than before, thus saving the money of the taxpayers and enabling the hoard of control to secure many more than could have been purchased under the old system, where favorites were permitted to make all sales. o- - , spenoer Aaar.
