SQUI RES Secretary, FALL IN, AND FORWARD MARCH! Republicans of Utah can, by scanning the list of delegates from Salt Lake county to the state convention, see just how much there is of what has been called the insurgent faction. The gentlemen at the head and tail of that entefprise have attracted attention wholly out of proportion to their voting strength. They have been imposing upon the people. With the help of the American party on the one hand and the Democratic party on the othen, they have been able to con- eee vinee « quite a number of people that {hey were a movement. And that is not the case. In scanning that list we call to your attention the fact that neither Mr, Love nor Mr. Lawrence nor Mr. Benner Smith nor Mr, John Q. Critchlow nor ihe india-rubber bottomed Mr. Irvine has been selected by his neighbors as delegate to the state convention, One or all of them may appear there, for they should be able to get proxies. But the significant fact remaiys that they were defeated in the primaries. Their own people, who know them, did not believe they should be selected as delegates to either state or judicial conventions. And there is a very good reason for it. The men who lead the insurgent movement-or perhaps led would be the better word, since it is just as well to observe that the insurgents are in the past tense-are men of average ability. They are not so big as they thought they were, but even in >the hour of their overthrow we are willing to concede that they are fairly smart men. If there were any good reasons for their attitude of protest agains t the Republican party organization, they would have rallied. about themselves a very powerful following: But there is no good reason for their activity. were but leaders of a great and growing movement. That a protest far too lond to be ignored was commanding attention. The result of last night's primaries makes clear that there is no following for the gentlemen who posed as leaders. There is no general acceptance of their dictum that the party is in a bad way, and falling to pieces. Republicans of Utah, no man need believe there is defection. No man need believe there is danger of division in the party. The voters of the city and of the county have gone to the primaries in unaccustomed numbers and have recorded their faith tn the party and in the organization of it. They have rejected every one of the insurgents, and thereby spoken their resolve to stand by the Republican party without wavering or dispute. Republicans of Utah, we are united. We go forward to victory, confident of the right, proud of the party, devoted to the state and the nation, and never more firmly resolyed to present a solid front to the cohorts of the enemy-no matter what name he may bear. Since Utah Wasatch... Washington .. Way ee than mass. last night's primaries, there are no insurgents in the Republican party. And for all the future there is a strong, united, brave and resolute marching straight to the front. IT WAS A GOOD INVESTMENT. With the reports that come from the cadets, the men and women who gave the money io pay for the trip begin to realize on their investment. They find that their efforts were not wasted; that their sacrifices were not in vain. They find that the public generally takes the same view of the incident that was taken by the committee originating the project-the committee that brought it to completion. Those Salt Lake boys, in their present organization, compose an entirely unique feature in the great celebration at San Francisco. The thing is striking. It impresses the people- not only of California, but of every ether section of country, and even of the world. No one can look at them without being impressed with the conviction that a city which can turn out such a body has much to its credit. People will think better of Utah and of Salt Lake than they ever did before, No matter what may haye been their opinion in the past, they will think in future of this proof of excellence when anything against this city or against this state Is told them. They will believe that good fruit can not well grow on bad trees; and they will know this is good fruit. It is immensly gratifying to note the welcome extended the Salt Lake boys by General Funeton, and officers of the regular army. That assigning them to the model camp at the Presidio is a distinct honor. It means much in the way of appreciation. Army men do not commonly go out of their way to smooth the pathway of civilian organizations. It isn't military; but here seemed to be warrant for an exception. And they have conferred an honor on the cadets that ts reflected upon every resident of Salt Lake and of Utah. Let us hope that succeeding days will simply add to the good word that has in the past been recorded. A VERY FOOLISH ARGUMENT. In its recent attack on the men and women who are working for temperance reform, the Tribune fell into the old error of claiming that unrestricted sale of liquor makes for a prosperous city, and that enforcement of liquor laws kills business. The same line of argument is advanced always by the people who oppose restrictive measures, and any society has just able exhibition. attention, and every concluded a very notIt has attracted much deserves it. Many very impressive products of the seulptor's art were shown. One that seems, in the printed reports, to have been most interesting is that of ‘‘Musie in the Home," as revealed by J. Scott Harley. It is a portrait group of William B. Dickson and his family. They live in Montclair, New Jersey, and Mr. Diclkson is president of the Carnegie branch of the United States Steel corporation. The group is in a great bas relief; the mother with two of her children at the left, a girl with violin in the center-though she does not dominate the group, particularly; and another grown daughter at the piano at the right; her father turning the musie for her. That ts the picture, Very rarely has a sculptor caught so much of refinement, coupled with domestic delight; artistic inspiration with practical this work more. human viewed The two interest by so many smaller as in ai Baltt- children are grotiped about their mother in a fashion which reveals her care and love for them, and at the same time makes them definitely a part of the music idea in the whole presentation. The girl with the violin is extremely graceful, and the two at the piano are very true. But better than the accuracy with Which the sculptor has caught form and line and movement is the message of music in the home. One catches all the uplifting influence of such a motive on clear-souled, pure-hearted people. One realizes the strength it brings the children for the battles that are certainly awaiting them, no matter how carefully they may be nurtured in their youth. One gets the lesson of the parents' interest in what interests the children.
