One of these fine days this nation will be confronted with a serious problem in its present system of running down foreign rum ships. A British ship, carrying $250,000 worth of rum was captured after a chase of many miles and after some shooting had been done. One of these days a foreign ship will be hit and sunk, with probably some loss of life, which will place this nation in a very try- ing position. European nations do not consider it a crime to deal in liquors. We not only say it is a crime to make it and sell it, but it is also a crime to take a drink. Who is right? If the matter was decided by a world court, this nation would lose. Of course, we can do as we please in our own country, but when we step from terra firma upon the high seas, there is a moral question of personal liberty involved which some day may implicate dictating nations in war. It is generally held that citizens of any nation on board vessels belonging to that nation are upon national territory and subject to the protection of their country in case of trouble. Thus if an American, in an American ship, pulls into a Chinese harbor, it is held that the American is upon American territory as long as he confines himself to the I thought that annual expenditures ought to be reduct d toi dollars.

An article published in last weeks Citizen under thee Street Paving Plans Aired by Prominent Business It created no end of talk in the city and elsewhere where ill read. The article showed up some unpleasant things pen and which have happened in our paving districts.

The fact largest cities of the United States will not consider bids for products is sufficient justification for this city to relinquii pavements in preference for pavements which are muchck just as durable, and which invite keen competition by i tractors. In checking up on this paving, we find that Ogde down by a certain contractor, Salt Lake City by another ak lo by still another.
