THE MORMON STATE.

Tie p5.itical situation In Utah at
present indicates very pcainly what is to
be expected when that territory is admlt-
ted, as 1t will probably be in November.
Bach party has Mormon candidate for
governor AMI many OF the remaining can
dictates are OF the same persuasion. The
fact that a majority OF the voters are at
present Moilnons sufficiently accounts for
this crIoice, for at this critical moment
neither party would nominate a man 30
certain to be defeated as a Gentle candi-
6lJte would be. The Republican party
has three Mormons out Of ten candidates
and the Democrats have six. Each side
has a Mormon canitiate for the United
Stakes senate. The Republican candi-
date for governor 10 Heber NJ Wells,
whose father was General Wells, the
most famous leader the Mormons have
had The Democratic candidate is an
older man, John T. Caine, who Is
Manxman ty Ibtiuh. but who has been in
Utah and In the Mornon church almost
eve- since tine territory was organized. 4
People who know much Of the singular
persistence OF the Mormon faith have
never placed any dependence on the re-
iterSted statements 10 the effect that
religion and pocTtlcs had been flnatiy
scparNted In Utah. It is evident enough
u.Aat the struggle through whiSa the
Mormon church has passed has bound ITS
people together in far more indlssolu-
Bile union than they would have been like
ly TO reach under more seemingly favor
ahle conditions. The Mormon leaders
for the most part can be pretty safely re-
lied upon to make feacty to their church
a test Of pclltasal desert. There are, how
ever, sumo not impossible consequences
Of Nae newsy.acqulred power which may
in time bring Utah around to normal
conditions. In the first place, that re-
Taxation OF pubic dgsfavor which came
with the renunciation of po.ygany, puts
the Mormon into more agreeable relations
with the rest of the world, and permits
him to feel less set apart from 1t. This
Is a result which wiz be felt stiil more
strongly in the next generation than in
this. always supposing OF course that
there Is no RETURN to this perniclous Gus
tom. In the second place, the Mormons
are depending somewhat upon the adop-
tion of woman suffrage to give them
the power they covet, And It is rtason-
ably certain THAT II amy attempt were
made to re-e'Jtabtish polyguny and the
women voted on It without coercion, 1t
woud oe defe1ted overwhelmingly.
Ever since the excision OF the hldeous
growth that was ehpping It's life, Utah
has been gradually gaining as com
nunity. Mlormlonism may and probably
wil survive for many years-perhaps for
cenburaes to some. But 1t wlil cease
before long to be ineSttIcalbcy interviewer
with politics.

AN ENCOURAGING SIGN.


One of the signs of the times and a
fact THAT points wltA considerable signl-
flcanhe to the drift OF many vital issues
now before the American people Is the
frequently recurring actions of many pub
Kc men wtio are every day throwing aside
their hong sustained crLinky and impgoc-
tlcab,e theories and honestly proc.aimlng
their desire to be counted among tho
people who think and act In a courageous
manner, In The last month several in
stances OF this kind have been made pub
lie. II would he well II our public men
generally were more disposed to deal
with current issues In this frank and rea-
sonaItre mny There are many things that
seem TO be absisrtctly right and desirable,
and yet are not attainable. No matter
how good a theory may be In itself, Il
counts for nothing II It is seen to be
impracticahe. It Ia all very weE to talk
about living up to convictions, and work
ing consistently for given prop )sltions,
but une SOBER truth is that In politics
more than In anything else the logic OF
circumstances Is the decisive force. The
capable and experienced Statesman knows
that at is a waste of time to urge
measure or policy that rs antagOnlzed
BY prevailing conditions 1t Is not so
mueh matter of courageousiy batting
for a favorrte doctrine or sentiment as
OF finding way to accomplish pItactlcal
results Thus 1t happens that great lead
eris OF pahties and potent figures In the
work OF 1esgsfatlon pursue a more or less
devious COURSE and incur the charge OF
Inconsistency or insincerity. when in fact
they are honestly doing their best to
prom1te the interests OF sound and bene-
fetal government. The standard OF duty
and responsibility in poitics Is not that
OF stubborn adherence to certain view
and ahbitrary proceedings for It's en-
forcement. There IS often necessity for
comprumte. cor postpoae-neit, for re-
versai OF position; and the most success
ful statesman Il the one VINO best under
s.ands the art Of adjusting himself to
obese requirements.

parted. however, the reverend father OF

THE COST OF IRRIGATION WATER.


The Denver Field and Farm says: "The
last report of the Geological Survey
places the average first cost of water
for irrigation throughout the western
states ait $S.15 an acre, while its value,
wherever the right can be obtained with
out land, is $26. Applying these, figures
to the total acreage als ascertained by the
last census, the total cost of irrigating
the lands from which crops were obtained
in one year was $780, 900 and THE total
value Of the water right was $9I, 1000,
the increase of value being $64,SOl, 900, or
2l8.8 per cent of tine investment. The
later sum may be taken as representing
the value of THE supply utilized.
'The average annual expense of main
tanning the water supply was $lT an
acre, or an aggregate of $3,794,OO0, this
being required in keeping the canals
and bitches in repair and free from sedi-
ment. The estimated first cost of irri-
gated lands from (which these crops were
obtained was 81, 100000 and their present
value, including improvements, $296,S5O,-
900, showing an increased value of $2l9,
100000, or 2S3.OS per cent. of the invest
ment in the land, not taking into consld-
GRAFTON the water The average value of
the crops raised was $11.S9 an acre, or a
tOta1 or $03,U0I,UOO. IneSe nSureS nave
been introduced to exhibit the cost and
value of irrigation in the arid regions.
THE value of the utilized water supply
can scarcely be estimaited until more ac-
curate information is obtained concern
ing the total amount of water and the
acreage that 1t can be made to cover.
BY making certain assumptions, however,
a rough estimate can be arrived at. TAX
ing 1.-THE average first cost of water at
$S15 an acre, and it's present value at
$26 an acre, the difference, $17.S5, may De
assumed as the value of THE water as
1t ficws i'm the stream. If one cubic foot
a second wiz water 100 acres, then the
value of one second foot is 81, ,7S5. Taking
the figures given as the total quantity
OF water probllbly available, 100000 Sec
ond feet, the total value or this water is
$642, 100000. These figures obviously have
no claim to accuracy but merely in
dlcate that, cacucutated on the most con-
servatlve basis, the water supply Of the
arid country must be ranked among the
most important among its undeveloped
resources.
