| should, for as a result of the Republican
blindness the Utah county people are
beginning to take the same view as
Jones. The feeling is particularly high
among some of the beet growing farmers
around Lehi and other districts of Utah
county. Many of them have been kept
in line with the Republican party on this
very issue; and they are the more bitter
because the Republicans played fast and
loose with them.
The effect is being seen in Sanpete
county. too. There it has been the prac-
tice of the Republicans for at least two
campaigns to point out to the people the
prosperity of the parts of Utah county
where beets are grown, and ask them II
they would not like to have a taste OF
such prosperity themselves. OF course
they would, and these innocent, guileless
Republicans have assured them that the
first Republican legislature under the
new state would appropriate a bounty to
build a factory IN their midst. The ar
gument has been effective, but, alas, It
will not be so any more. If Sanpete and
Sewer get sugar factories under the con-
stitution they will have to get them be-

idea that they would like to engage in
the cultivation of canaigre root. 1t will
be remembered that the banner Republi-
can legislature, the memory of whose
monumental folIies have not faded from
the public mind, made an appropriation
for canaigre. But that, too, will be hope
less, and the bounty promoters will have
TO go out of the business.
But what of the Republican party:
Where will it find such an issue as boun-

wide and warranted not to shrink from
washing or exposure? 1t is a lamentable
fact that echo answers "where?'

Westward from the mainland beyond
where the sun sets in the blue sea, there
is forest growing up from the rich |
earth of cline made for all good and
perfect things. It is there that birds of
beauteous plumage and flowers of rarest
hue grow wild and free, without the hand
of man to rear them up or tear them
down. The beasts Of the field lie down
together and live in perfect peace. When
the great orb of day rises out of the east
the air is filled with the sweet carol of
birds and sleeping Nature wakes to greet
the dawn. There are no clouds in the
sky, and only the dew Of night, which is
the mist of Gods tears, falls upon the
earth and feeds the flowers. over all

scene, fair-haired woman reigns, and
every leaf that fiutters in the breeze or

petals of the tiger-hlies and turns them
to the sun as heralds Of its coming.
There is no land so filed with milk
and honey, no forests half so deep and
cool, no streams so crystal clear nc !

Blending into the glistening sea are white
and glistening sands spangled with peb- |

hurricanes, no winter blasts to mar the /
