Provo Enquirer: The Democrats are
laying the foundation for a straight fight
on national issues, which Will draw to
their support national speakers Of prOmi-

take if they do not stand squaTely on
national questions that divide the two

Mt Pleasant Pyramid: The sporting
fraternity Of Salt Lake IS turning its at
tsUtiOn to cock fighting as d pleasant di-
version. It's but one step from cock
fighting to the Spanish bull ighting-not a
great one at that-and either one is by
odds more degrading and disgraceful than
prize fighting, which is bad enough and
is being generally practiced throughout
the state. Whittier are we drifting In this
great commonwealth anyway. and where

which has been falling in huge chunks

IRRIGATION.

The Western half of the United
States today supports population
ranging somewhere around five mil
lion. Much of this population has
been attracted by the cry OF gold and
the capital invested today in western
mines is enormous. Yet it is not a
1.-THE OF the amount which the value
Of the mineral Laden ore Of the West
warrants; only these minerals are
locked largely in the grasp of the arid
belt. Water is what is needed. Hills
and mountains OF extreme richness lie
undeveloped and desolate, surrounded
by barren deserts OF sagebrush plains.
Capital is slow to venture into such
places, even with great mineral wealth
in sight. Gold is not the only metal,
tons of which are locked in the rocky
bosorhs of the western sierras, but all
the family of baser metals are richly
represented and the question of trans
portatiop enters largely into their
mining. Railroads will pot follow
mining camps alone. But reclaim the
arid lands of the West; give to them a
settled agricultural population, and
railroads will quickly pierce the desert.
And here too will be source whence
to feed the men and mules that work
the mines; iced them at reasonable
rates. Many torrent of great volume
rushes down the slopes during the
period OF melting SHOWS and spreads
away in glistening stream across the
brown plain, but before crop can be
raised its volume has waned and its
bed become dry sand. Yet store this
water in mountain reservoir and it
would afford perennial supply, capa-
BILE of irrigating land whose fertility
has never felt the washing, weakening
power OF rain. Thsn, along with the
agricultural development would come
mining development.
There are many regions where irri-
CATION has transformed the agricul-
tural lands and railroads have been
quickly built, where adjacent mines
the necessities for man and beast and
transportation at hand-have been
simultaneously developed, adding vast
sums to our mineral output which
might have otherwise lain always
dormant.

The Yakima Republic quotes Road
master Snow as saying: 81 was in
Pasco for two days and the thermom-
eter registered ITO in the shade both
day and night" Its not often we can
find location where such an even
temperature is maintained.
The above was clipped from the
head OF the editorial page OF the Pasco
News of Aug. 4, and still, in the same
column OF the same issue Bro. G. I.
Giezentanner, editor OF that paper,
roasts us numerically for presuming
to offer them recipe for cooling a
room. We cannot see any consistency
in the position taken by our neighbor
co-worker for certainly Pasco is hot
stuff, at least such was our lasting inn
preston as we passed through the
place on the even tenor OF our way to
the state press meeting two weeks ago.
The thermometer at that time regis
tered ITO degrees under the electric
fans in the observation car on the
Northern Pacific flyer at midday. 1t
was eonfounded warm, no mistake.

Though this is the dull season OF the

Though this is the dull season of the
year, there is little evidence OF dizziness
in Washington. The lumber bust
ness is booming, the building traders
are more active than they have been
before for at least eight years, harvest
hands are getting the highest wages
paid since pioneer days, transporta-
ton lines are crowded with freight,
the mines are worked with unprece-
dented industry, the salmon catch is
picking up, and there is general pros
perity. The grain fields are not veri-
flying early estimates OF a prodigious
yield, but it will not be an unmitigat-
ed evil if farmers are driven to break
the wheat bond and diversity their
crops. Wheat and wool are moving
slowly, but there is plenty Of money
to be had on pledges OF either. The
fruit crop is fair, i'll many places ex-
cellent. The mercantile trade shows
slight seasonable dizziness which really
means that people are busy taking
care OF the harvest or on vacation at
the summer resorts. Unusual activ-
ity characterizes most lines of indusr
try in this dull season.

No man deserved IL peaceful death
full OF years and honors, with chill
dren's faces round his bed, more truly

King, this humane and heroic per-
sonage has been one of the few re-
naming figures of ancient and hon.

nant commentary on the irony of
human ingratitude that this base re-
turn is his reward for having conf

the trueness oil man. 1t pervades his
whole nature and leads him at all
times, under all circumstances, to be
true, to be ready if necessary to sacri-
flee himself to principle. Sincerity
leads man to be steadfast in the
practice of truth and virtue. Sincerity
is the stuff that heroes are made of.
Sincerity is the one great element of
friendship. 1t embodies in it, love,
courage, constancy, truth, frankness,
honesty, fidelity, and every virtue OF
the human soul. 1t is nobleness of
nature that leads to the espousal of
the cause OF a friend, even to the dis
comfort OF ones self. The sincere
man is the true man.
Then above all things be sincere,
whatever the temptation. Say moth
ing to Others that you do not think,
and play no tricks with your own
mind. Be sincere with your fellow
man, which means be faithful and
true in your friendship. Judge with
candor reprehend with justice and
shield with kindness and mercy

Some German voters will support
Mckinley, and Others viii support
Bryan. That is, they will do as they
like. No statesman or editor, how
ever important in his own eyes, is
going to lead them around by the
nose. Four years ago the majority Of
the Germans voted for Mckinley and
the republican party. Conditions have
greatly changed since that time, but
the changes for the most part have
been such rs would tend to tie Ger
mans ever more firmly to the repub-
lican cause. The average Teuton is
a calm, level-headed sort of a fellow,
much given to looking out for his
business and his own personal affairs,
aad net inclined to sit up nights hunt
ing prescriptions for the imaginary ills
of humanity. He knows that the
country has been prosperous, having
enjoyed his full share of it, and will
pass by on the other side OF it when
the wild-eyed gentlemen come round
and triumphantly inform him that
the nation is going to the bow-wows.

Fables Of the Rail.

A industrious Organ Grinder was
busily engaged in grinding out. Coon
songs one day when citizen engaged
him in conversation. Said he: "Why
do you not soak the organ and EN-
ploy your great talents ia working
on the street for the munich pality
instead of annoying the POI ulace
with the hideous noises that
emanate from yonder box?" But
the organ grinder smiled craftiIy and
said: "Some time you will under
stand that the street are not paved
with gold and that an organ N the
hand is worth two in the pawn shop.
Besides it is not fair to take the
money OF the people for nothing and

ELEVATION OF POLITICS.

There are still cam paign blackguards
bat the breed is passing. Old methods
of !, conducting National campaigns
have been replaced in late years by
newer and better ways. The day has
gone when it was a sacred duty to lie
to help one candidate and hurt another
Among newspapers, political managers
and the electorate, the tendency is
towards alignment on the issues, the
great questions whose settlement al
feet the material interests of the coun-
try. Personal calumniation Of candi-
dates is in disfavor.
The campaign of 1892 was fought
out on its merits, and Harrison and
Cleveland exchanged friendly social
courtesies at the parting of the ways
in 1893. In 1896 it was gold and sill
yer, and, though tremendous force
was put into the fight by both parties,
there was no abuse and when the re-
suit was known, Bryan generously
congratulated Mckinley. This year
the issue is again gold and silver,
though in putting imperialism" to
the fore the Democrats seem disposed
to attack Mckinley personally. They
will Not gain vote by abusing Nc
Kinley, nor. will the Republicans gain
vote by abusing Bryan. 1t is not
question of men, but of issues. These
are expansion and gold, and there will
be no observation of them. Talking
to the point is the thing that will
gain the votes.
Honesty and fairness are best in
politics. The campaign liar and black
guard has been driven out OF the
newspaper Offices and he is worse
than useless to campaign managers.
Fairness and honesty in the contests
for offices is healthy and progressive
sign, for it betokens the approach OF
the time when we shall have greater
fairness and more honesty in the Adj
mipistration of the offices. In this
respect at least, neither newspapers
nor people are any longer the politi-
clans plaything.
Adams County news. [volume] (Ritzville, Wash.) 1898-1906, 1900-08-15

1t is certain that the managers OF
the great political parties will depend
comparatively little in this campaign
on the services of their eloquent
speakers. There will be some large
meetings with oratory on tap, but the
newspapers will be utilized more than
ever to present the salient facts of the
fight to the voters, and the voters
themselves, having kept well posted
for the last four years, will make up
their minds largely without assistance
from any quarter.

Anarchy has no respect for either
goodness or greatness. It's deadly in
.iiuence is felt in every country in CELL
'tral Europe and is becoming danger
Gus menace to the free institutions
of this country. The continual how,
al discontentment being raised by
'soase OF our wouldbe political leaders,
is bringing about the same state OF
things as exist throughout Europe.
We should not deceive ourselves, once
under the accursed infuen ce. the life
of the president OF the United States
sIill be no more secure than that Of
the kings OF Europe.

SINCERITY.

OF all the evil spirits abroad in the
world, insincsrity is the most danger
Gus. 1t is more disgraoeful
than anything else. 1t is unreal and
makes mans life seem like merely a
dramatic representation. 1t is the
personification of ialsehood. at is q
shameful and unseemly thing" says
Seneca, "to think one thing and say
another, but how odious to write one
thing and to think another" The in
sincere soul is on the broad way to
perdition. The insincere man is
wholly unreliable, and no one can de-
pend upon his word, Insincerity is a
mask worn to hide the ugliness of u
bad nature. 1t is mild form of hy-
pocrisy, aye, it rs hypocrisy. "One
may smile and smile, and be villain"
Sincerity embodies all that is true
and lovely in man. sincerity is friend
ship. 1t is the way to heaven. "The
attainment OF sincerity in the words
|of Confucius, dis the way of man."
There is nothing more beautiful in
life than sincerity. 1t needs no quail
flying adjective. 1t stands alone en-
bodying all the virtues and blessings
nlI the acts Of man. Truth and fidel-
ity are embodied in it. 1t is an eyi-
flence Of Strength Of character~

There are three great trumpet
(cornet) soloists in the Royal Marine
Band of Italy, which will be at the
Spokane Industrial Exposition which
opens this year October 2. TO the
trumpets in Italy are assigned the
parts sung by female voices in the
great opera selections which they
play; so that these three trumpeters
are, in reality, equivalent to three
prima donnas. They all play so beauti-
fully that they afford the same pleas
ure TO listener Us that which he
experiences in listening to the famous
artists who adorn the stage of our
great opera houses every winter.
Signor Di Girolamo had not been
playing in this country q week before
he earned the sobriquet of "The
Melba OF the Cornet." His tone is
round, luscious and sympathetic, like
that al the loVlleqt Of human voices,
and he has the same control over his
slender brass instrument as a great
prima donna has over her voice.
Signor Tavani has dramatic tone of
wonderful power,A and his clarion,
silver high notes Soar far above the
whole band in the great climaxes of
the music. To Tavani are assigned
the parts taken in the opera by the
dramatic sopranos, and he never fails
to arouse the greatest enthusiasm.
Signor Palma is only twenty-three
years old, aud was ascelebrity in Italy
at the age of&fifteen. In force and
quality his tone is midway between
that of Di Girolamo and Tavani. To
him are given the contralto parts, ard
he is, likewise, delightful interpre-
ter of songs and high class popular
airs. In addition to these there are
nine other soloists and one tenor singer
with the Royal Marine Band.

There is no power of love So hard
to keep as "a kind voice; but it is hard
to get it and keep it in the right tone.
One must start in youth, and be on
the watch night and day, while at
work and while at play, to get and
keep voice which shall speak at all
times the thought OF kind heart.
Use your best voice at home. Watch
it by day us a pearl OF great price, for
it will be worth more to you in the
days to come than the best pearl hid
in the sea. 4 kind voice is lark's
song to heart and home. 1t is 10 the
heart what light is to the eye.

Never buy until you hive chance to

prove worthless YOU have no redress,
whereas if you (buy from the local

Toanyone wkG is thoroughly in ear
nest about country home-~make it
yourself. Xenophon, who lived in a
time when Greeks were Greeks, ad-
vised people in search of country
place to buy of slatterly and careless
farmer, since in that event they might
be sure Of seeing the worst, and OF
making OF their labor and care the
largest results. Cato, on the other
hand, who represented ap effeminate
and scheming race, advised tbs pur-
chase of a country home from a good
farmer and judicious builder, 20 that
the buyer might be sure of nice cul.
ture and equipments. 1t illustrates
rather finely an essential difference
OF the two races and ages-the Greek
earnest to make his own brains tell,
and the Latin eager to make as much
as he could out of the brains of other
people.
