WHERE THE FARMER COMES IN.

It will not be an easy task to con-
vince the farmers of Utah that Ding
leyism or Hannaism has helped them
out in The price of wheat, the chief pro-
duct of their farms. In Cache valley
wheat is worth 10 cents less per bushel
than potatoes are worth. Buyers will
not offer more than % cents a bushel
for wheat in Logan.
In Chicago the price has been vacil-
lating between so and IS cents. while
corn commands from 20 to % cents in
the middle west at the local stations
Whatever OF prosperity has come, the
trusts and the railroads and the ele-
vators are cleaning it UP, and the pro-
Queer is still holding the sack
The war and the mines put a lot of
money into circulation, it is true. But
the Mckinley administration has pro-
vided the ways and means for the IA
vored few to take more from the people
in proportion to the more they make.
Truly. there are spots upon the sun
of our republic

Virginia was to have an internal So
cial revolution of her own by legisla-
ton. The contest was only less bitter
than that in the field. and Jefferson's
work might easily have filed out the
fame of a smaller man. He was the
acknowledged and almost sole leader of
the radical reform party, which finally
swept away the church establishment
with every check upon religious free
dom, the old semi-feudal aristocracy,
with its bulwarks of entail and primo
geniture. and the complex barbarities
of the old legal system, for marvel
ously simple. compact. humane code.
Jefferson's victory Americanized Vir-
ginia and consolidated in that state
the Democratic party he was soon to
organize for the nation at large.
His aims were even more generous
and far-reaching than these great re-
suits. The effort to provide for gradual
emancipation was poorly rewarded by
the restriction actually secured upon
further importation of slaves into the
state: and the noble attempt to estab-
lish a complete state system of educa-

MEANT WHAT THEY SAID.

Hanna'S local mouthpiece is making
a great hit in its new role of inter
prefer, seer and revelator for the great
men Of history. 1t pretends TO know
what they had in mind better than they
knew themselves. and to see motives
behind their public utterances and ac-
tons which have never been revealed
down TO the time o1t neighbor essayed
10 do it.
1t holds, for instance, that George
Washington was really conquistador
at heart, and that he didn't mean what
he said in his farewell address; that
while Thomas Jefferson wrote the De-
claration of independence, there was
a condition precedent in his mind while
he wrote" that Hamilton and Madison
favored large standing armies, al
though they declared against them;
that they favored the subjugation OF
weaker peoples, although they deplored
it; that they desired TO have the United
States enter European, politics and
Oriental broils. although they warned
the people against policies that might
lead to such entan@lements
To prove its case against one it says:
james Madison was a lawyer quite as
profound as either Hamilton or Jeffer-
son, and he said: I am persuaded that
no constitution was ever before so well
calculated as ours for extensive empire
and self government p"
Evidently he used the word empire
10 mean dominion. but it is also clear
from his other utterances that he was
opposed to extending that dominion be-
yond the main land. So far as self
government is concerned, it is what he
would have asked for the Cubans and
for every other people found struggling
for independence from Spain.
We are likewise informed that st
was the mind of Hamilton that outlined
a plan for q cohesive union with power
enough conceded from the states, to be
sovereign, and still not to trench in the
least on the liberty of any citizen"
Docs any disciple of Hamilton favor
Philippine annexation on this ground :?
VIII it be possible TO take 10000. 600
heterogeneous peoples, occupying 1000
tropical islands in Oriental seas TO this
republic. and add to the cohesiveness
of the Union? Can such people be gov
erned without trelching in the least
upon the liberty of the citizen?
There is no reason to think that any
man who signed the Declaration of In
dependence, who fought for national
independence from George III, who
saw the disposition of French imperial
lists to claim the liberated colonies on
the ground of duty to humanity and
because, as Talieyrand put 1t. -'the col
onists were in the main ignorant, mex
perienced and incapable Of governing

Personal characteristics and Early

Thomas Jefferson gave immortal form
to the principles of our revolution of
1776 and he embodied in his own aspi-

significant internal revolution" of 1900
marked by his election TO the presi-

These are the two great facts that
stand out bold and clear against his
eighty-three years of varied activity.
Lee and Adams might have penned a
stately declaration of independence, but
neither of them could have made the
document speak that eloquent and in
spring faith which was so Ito shape
the destinies of the western world and

The Journal was favored with visit
from two young men, the uther even
ing. one dressed as a sailor and the
other as a soldier. They came in and
inquired for another sailor whose
home used to be in the city. They had
come in for the sport of the affair,
having but just taken part in some
treatricals. but their DISCUSSES worked
50 well that they kept up the part,
and answered the best they could the
questions piled to them by another
visitor. 1t was noted by one present
that the sailor in his low-necked cos
tune showed a remarkably white neck.
and the mustaches of the two were re-
markably nice ones for the genuine
article, and so on, but the observing
one kept still. gradually coming to
realize who the two young men were.
But the other visitor, however. did not
see through the disguise. and not until
after the two boys had left the office,
was he aware that they were not from
the ship and the ranks.
