If them evil reports are offset even In a measure, by the visit of these school boys to the Pacific coast a great good will bo accompollahed, a good whose value cannot be computed In dollars and cents. And the visit of the boys to San Francisco at this time, when visitors are present there from every state In the union, will have this effect. Sona of Utah win honors on every field. They brought rich trophies home from the, Philippines; they are carving their namea high on the scroll of fame In schools, in tha professions, in art. In all the avenues of legitimate activity. Furthermore the schools of Utah rank high among the beat schools In the nation. Illiteracy la eliminated to a g grater degree than In almoat any other state. Money la expended freely for education, and tha beat methods to be found anywhere are adopted and put Into practice. Then why should not 100 of Utah's school boys mak a good showing In the eyes of the nation In San Francisco? Three hundred neatly uniformed, healthy, manly, boyswill present an object lesson, a moving picture exhibition for .Utah that should work wonders In the way of rooting out unreasonable prejudice and directing attention to the good things In the state. By far the greatest work that any state can do, the greatest benefit any state can confer upon society, Is to produce good cltlsena.

In this Intsnce charges were made that dishonest means were bleng used to Influence the actions of congressmen In the matter of supplying the government with submarine boats. Congressman George L. Lllley believed these charge. He had a committee of the house appointed to make an Investigation. He made sensational charges himself. For weeks the reports of the investigation filled the press, and the end Is a complete failure to prove any charge. It is the fashion to talk of the corruption of public officials, especially of representatives and senators. Persons otherwise sane and reasonable, convince themselves that there is nothing In Washington but Immorality, bribery, dishonesty, corruption and a cringing to corporate wealth. The nations capital, seen through this atmosphere. looks much like a'Sodom. It Is a question in the minds of these cltlsena if anything good whatever can ever come out of Washington. This Is all wrong. There are more honest men In public life today than ever before. Ther is more disinterested patriotism among public seryanta than at any other period of the country's history. There is more being done, for the benefit of the public at large now than ever before. The outlook for the republic was never morn bright.
