ARMY REORGANIZATION.

One of the most important bills now
pending in congress is that for the re-
organization Of the army. But there
is one feature of the measure to which
particular attention should be directed.
While the bill provides for the doubling
of the army, it arranges for a proper
tionately slight increase in the number
of officers.
The present system calls for three
officers to a company, namely, a cap
tain, a first lieutenant n one second
lieutenant, and in none of the bills be-
fore congress is the increase in the
strength of the companies met by any
like increase in the number of officers.
1t is believed by men of military ex-
perience that an additional lieutenant

be, to its full strength, although add

FOR THE GOOD OF T A

The Herald's New Years edition will
contain a comprehensive. conservative
and reliable review of the development
of Utah in every important line of in
dustry.
The special edition which will be
issued next Sunday morning will con-
tain more valuable data concerning
this state, arranged in more systematic
form, than has ever been given to the
public in a Utah newspaper before.
Special writers have been engaged
for the various departments. and capa-
BILE representatives of The Herald have
personally investigated the leading
branches of business to be treated and
the result of their investigation will be
given.
Many of the articles will be taste
fully illustrated by the artists of The
Herald, who will display their best
work in this edition.
Special attention will be given to
mines and mining. and it will be easy
TO form an estimate of the advance
ment of the region after perusing The
Herald's summary of the work already
done and the programme mapped out
for the coming year in the leading
camps of the state.
But the review and the estimates of
mining and other interests will not be
confined to Utah alone. All the sur
rounding states. the whole intermoun-
tain section, will be accurately and
amply treated.
Thousands OF copies of this edition
win be scattered over the world. 1t is
to the interest of The Herald, as it is
TO every other business institution Of
the state, to hold out inducements to
investors and homeseekers. but also
10 present the facts fairly and truth
fully, that one who come to investi-
gate may so away disappointed. What
ever helps the state helps every legiti-
mate enterprise in the state.

HI SToRM-STARTER.

The New York Journal, whose anti
Roberts editor, Mr.. Arthur MacEwan,
has been the Salt Lake Tribune's spe-
cial correspondent for many years, is
taking the lead in the agitation so vic
ously begun and SO adroitly shifted
by the Republican organ of Utah.
There was a cartoon in the Journal
the other day, the same issue, by the
way, that contained thai interview
with Judge Goodwin of the Tribune, in
which Mr.. Roberts was compared to a
Mohammedan taking his ease in his
harem.
This is in line with the statements
made in the Tribune during the last
campaign concerning Mr.. Roberts. In
fact, it seems to be based on the Trib-
une-s suggestion that Mr.. Roberts was
trained from childhood in Asiatic
methods" and that "he would feel more
at home in a Spanish cortes or a Turk
ish court than he would in the Ameri-
can congress-"
Nearly every appeal being made to
the prejudice of the east is a repeti-
ton of some of the stock arguments
of the local Republican organ which it
wore ~threadbare in the old days and
rehasned for a special purpose in the
late campaign.
For instance, they are saying that
Utah's congressman-elect has been tax
ing new wives since the manifesto for
bidding plural marriages was put
forth, and since the state constitution
was adopted. This story was started
by the Tribune.
They are claiming, wherever protests
are being made, that plural marriages
are being contracted in the Mormon
church today as if no manifesto or
constitution had ever been ratified bv
the people Where do they get this
story? The Tribune told it and vouched
for it, both before and after Mr.. Rob
erts' election.
Wa it concern for the welfare Of the
church that caused the Republican or
a to give these tales TO the world?
Was it a desire to save the elders and
high officials of the organization from
disgrace that prompted it to throw
these brands on the fire?
There is something peculiar about a
soicitude that resorts to such methods
L save q church and a people from
Humiliation and shame"

R~osebery's Tact.

The Scots Pictorial says that on one
occasion Lord Rosebery was entertaining
a large party and had among other rural
guests a farmer who tasted ice cream for
the first time Thinking that something
had gone wrong in the kitchen, n de-
string to save his fellow guests the pain
of his own experience, he whispered to
his host that the pudding by some mis-
chance a got frozen. His lordship list
ened gravely, without moving a muscle
of his face, tasted the pudding, thanked
the farmer and then called a servant.
After some little conversation he turned
to the farmer, with a relieved expression,
and said: It's all right, Mr.. -; they
is frozen on purpose Thereafter the
farmer partook of his portion with evil
dent relish.

EXPORT TRADE WITH CANADA

The new Canadian tariff has not pre-
vented the United States from export
ing many millions of dollars worth of
goods to Canada since it went into
effect.
The farmers. millers and manufac-
turers of this country have further
demonstrated their ability to meet
competition anywhere there is a mar
ket worth p%atronizing. The American
farmer has never pleaded his inability
to do so; the manufacturer has made
this plea for a quarter of a century. or
ever since he tasted the flavor Of the
high tariff imposed for war purposes,
back in the early SOS.
This Canadian tariff law provided
that goods entering Canada from Great
Britain and her colonies should enjoy a
tariff rate % per cent less than that
collected on goods from other coun-
tries. Part of the schedule became
effective Aug. 1, 1897, and the balance
Aug. 1, 1888. But no serious results
seem to have followed. At least. our
exports to the dominion have continued
to increase as if nothing had happened.
Since the 1st of last August the ex-
portation from this country has been
made under every disadvantage the
Canadian tariff discrimination was
capable of creating.
A comparison of the tables. both for
the months in which the figures this
year have beer tabulated and the cor
responding months for last year, show
the condition of the trade.
The figures of the treasury bureau of
statistics covering the details of he
export trade are now available for the
months of August, September and
October. They show tina in those
three months in 1898, in which the full
% per cent tariff reduction in favor Of
| Great Britain and her colonies was in
operation, exports from the United
States to Canada were larger than in
any corresponding three months in the
history of u with that
country.
The exports to Canada from this
country have never increased more
rapidly than since this hostile tariff
schedule became effective. We pay for
INC pLikl1GSS VI COlllpCl4AlS Win liz
"pauper labor of Europe and are able
to do a big business at a profit.
During the first three months of this
discrimination against produce from
the United States in 1897, our exports
to Canada increased nearly $4,000, 600
over the corresponding months of 1896.
And in August, September and October
of this year, during which time the
! discrimination in favor of Great Britain
was double what it was during the
same months last year, the increase
over the corresponding period in 1897
was over $4,000. GOO.
The higher the rate of discrimination.
the more rapid the increase of business.
it seems. Who can say, after studying
these figures, that the United States is
not able to compete with any civilized
country in any market of the world?
And who Will ever again believe the
campaign cry of protectionists that
American manufacturers are less able
than American farmers to compete
with the people of other lands?

An Ogden correspondent requests a
brief sketch of Secretary Hitchcock's
career as a public man. 1t is neces-
sarily brief, as he has only been a pub
lie man by virtue of the personal
friendship which exists between him.
self and the president. He was born
in Mobile in 1885, removed to Tennes-
see in early manhood and subsequently
located at st. Louis. He remained there
ten years, and embarked in a CONNER
cial venture in China. 1t was success
full, and he returned to st. Louis
twelve years later with a fortune. It is
upon his experience in China thai his
friends lay particular stress in assert
ing his qualifications for his new posi-
ton. But familiarity with oriental af-
fairs has not always been regarded as
particularly beneficial to the admins
tration of the interior department.. For
surely the president is not contemplate
ing a complete change in domestic
matters. The new secretary is repuoted
to be quite wealthy, and a vigilant
guardian of corporate interests, and
this, rather than his Chinese ideas, may
have recommended him for the place.

were 1920 who were neither absent nor

this year was 1914, a splendid showing
that speaks well for the pupils and the
management of the schools.
1t goes to prove that the best of in

E STATUTE.
A Man May Be Imprisoned For Being
Run Over By a Train.
indianapolis Journal.)

indianapolis Journal.)
The lack Of care and attention given
by legislators to the wording of new
laws became apparent in a discovery
yesterday while looking through the
volumes of the revised statutes. Deputy
Attorney General Merrill Moores was
looking over a copy of the statutes of
1894 yesterday, when he suddenly re-
marked to a reporter: y don't suppose
you know that il a man is knocked
down and run over by a railroad train
at a crossing he may be imprisoned Tor
from two to fourteen years" The re-
porter confessed that a. yet ne had
not heard of any such wise provision
for the safety of the public. although
islature was an uD-to-date body. and
generally fairly aching to PASS reform
bills which would make the state the
leader in progressive legislation.
'.Well,'' continued Mr.. Moores. there
is such a statute, and l will show it to
you" He thereupon turned to the re-
vised statute of 1884, section 2295. and
read as follows:
Whoever, being an engineer, permits
his locomotive to run upon Or across
the track of any other railroad before
the lOCOIlIullN6 anu liam oh@i' OO4iAAS
upon the other track, have. passed over
such crossing first, shall be fined not
more THAI 81, 900 and imprisoned in the
county Jail not more thar one year.
nor less than three months. And If any
person be killed or injured by reason
of such crossing, he shall be imprisoned
in the state prison not more than four
teen years, nor less than two years"
Just who might be imprisoned under
the statute is not clear, even to the at
torney general.
