increase the export trade to bring
more money into the west with which
to purchase eastern farm machinery
and manufactures. There is the busi-
ness side of the question. Is it not ap-
parent that the west cannot be bene-
flied by irrigation without sharing its
profits with the east and other sec
tions Of the country? Is the west not
entitled to national aid for irrigation
as a matter of right?
The west contributes it's fun share
toward the expenses Of the govern
ment. The citizens out here pay their
taxes cheerfully and uncomplainingly
In all the years since the. west was set
tied it has received no recognition.
Only within recent months has it
asked for recognition and because it
does ask now, Mr.. Ray and some Of
his colleagues seem inclined to resent
the petition as they would resent inn
pertinence from a mental. It is time
these gentlemen understood that the
arid and semi-arid states are not ap-
pearing in the role Of mendicauts.
They ask only for what is just and
fair. Notwithstanding the fact that
they pay their share Of taxes they are
not demanding the return Of those
taxes in the form of gifts, as is the
eastern practice. What they ask is a
loan from the government on first
class security. There is absolutely no
chance for the government to lose by
the transaction. There is every chance
for it to profit. Good business. policy
demands the passage OF the national
irrigation bill.

To THE REV. Mr.. JOHN T. AXToN
The Herald desires to extend the
right hand of fellowship. The step
from secretary of the Young Mems
Christian association to gospel Ordi-.
nation lis not so deep as a well, nor
so wide as a church door but IT'S
enough, twill serve At least The
Herald hopes it viii serve. The Rev:
Mr.. Axton is entitled to many Of the
good things Of life. If an army chap
laincy is one Of them and he wants 1t
then he ought to have it. and so alrs
said.
For years Mr.. Axton has been doing
a great work in Salt Lake. Very large
~ through his efforts the local branch
of the Young Mems Christian associa-
ton has been built up from a strug
Cling society Of stragglers to a power
full agency for good. To accomplish
this result it has been necessary for
Mr.. Axton to labor increasingly, but his
heart was in the cause and it is not
surprising that all the rest should be
added unto him.
Comparatively few Salt Lake people
know what the Y. NJ c. A really has
done and is doing. 1t has saved more
young men from dissipated careers, it
has found more work for the unem-
ployed, more homes for the homeless,
more bread for the hungry than many
other institutions combined. 1t is not
too much to say that Mr.. Axton has
been the guiding and executing spirit
in all this. although he has received eff
hcient and constant cooperation from
hundreds of citizens. There is no cant
about Mr.. Axton and. by the way
there is no can't about him, either, if
the play is permissible.
He believes in physically strong as
we'll as spiritually strong young men.
His idea is that other attractions be-
sides psalms and prayers are necessary
to attract and to hold the youth. When
/ it comes to preaching attractive lit
/ tie sermons the Reverend Mr.. AxtOn
will not be found wanting. That he
successfully passed rigid examination
before he was admitted to the minis
try will cause no surprise to those who
are acquainted with him.
I His appointment to a chapIaincy
seems sure and, while his friends viii
rejoice at the fulfllment of one of Mr..
Axton's ambitions, they will feel that
the Young Mems Christian association
/ of Salt Lake has received d blow from
which it viii be a long time in recov-
I ering.

MR.. cLEws HEARD FROM.

THE PUBLIC has been waiting with
L intense interest to hear the hu-
manitarian view of the cessation Of
hostiIities in South Africa. 1t has come
at last in a letter to The Herald from
that we'll known DhilanthroDist, Mr.
Henry Clews Of New York, credit mer-
chant Mr.. Clews may always be de-
pended upon to look with pity upon the
suffering, to exclaim with horror at
the shedding Of innocent blood, and to
drop tears of sympathy for the widow
and the orphan. Hear what ne says
about the closing Of the war.
"A good deal of interest IS shown in
the probable effect Of the cessation of
the Boer war on the American market.
In the long run it cannot help being
beneficial The first effect. however,
may be for British speculation to spend
considerable energy upon kafir shares,
after which it win probably overflow
into Americans. The war has been
costing England at the rate of about
$500. OOO, 600 a year: and the release Of
such vast sums from destructive. puT-
poses to flow again into the legitimate
channels Of industry and investment
must act as a powerful stimulus that
cannot be confined TO the London mar
ket. British capital is always forced
to so beyond its native land, and it
/ is not at all improbable that the liking
/ for American securities may revive, in
view of the wonderful records they
have been making. The chief obstacle
win undoubtedly abe foreign prejudice
/ against American financing"
! There is the right view of the situa-
ton. It isn't worth while to consider
the restoration of the ruined Boer
homes or to picture the joyful re-
unions Of the burghers and their fami-
lies. It is true that burdens of anxiety
and distress have been lifted from
many an English heart and home, but
that is of little importance when the
influx Of British gold into this country
! is considered. Mr.. Clews has fairly
outdone his own inimitable self in his
latest epistle. It deserves to rank with
the worlds greatest literary efforts.
In closing. The Herald desires TO cal
attention to Mr.. Clews' advice to the
Wall street stock gamblers. II any

THE STORY OF 1sILvER JACK
"A Poem Which Is Credited to Senator
Jones.

Senator Jones of Nevada will
retire from public life when his pres
ent term in the senate expires on the
18th Of March, 1903. He has been in the
senate for thirty years, and could re-
main thirty years longer if his life was
spared for that length of time. But I
am now % years of age" said Senator
Jones yesterday, and while l am still
In the full possession Of all my faculties
and my health. do not want to linger
sUperfiuous here. I think I had better
step down before I get to be too Old
When Don Cameron was in the senate
he and Jones became close personal
friends and their intimacy has never
been clOuded. When Mr.. Cameron re-
Gently celebrated Farmers day" at
Donegal, Mr. Jones was one Of the
guests. This calls to mind the fact
that the poem which Mr.. Cameron
thinks is the best poem ever written,
and which he quotes to every friend,
was given to him by Senator Jones. 1t
is the story in rhyme of Silver Jack, "
who was working in a mining camp
when a man of the name of Rob
ert Waite who was kind o. cute and
slick and tongueg," undertook to ridi-
cUle the Bible, and to say that the Sa-
viOr was Just a common man"
You're q Iiar," some one shouted,
and you've got to take it back"
Then everybody started. 1t was the
voice of Silver Jack
There was a hot fight, wherein Jack
slugged Bob and made him. confess
the error of his ways:
so the fierce discussion ended, and
they riz up from the ground
And some one brought bottle out and
kindly passed it round;
And we drank to Jacks religion in a
quiet sort of way.
And the spread of infdelity was
checked in camp that day"
There is a suspicion that the poem
was written by Senator Jones, and he
| has never denied it.

Maine Congressman Would Succeed
Speaker Henderson.

Washington, Sept. 19.-Representa-
tive Charles E. Littlefield of the Sec
ond Maine district, who already has
been elected a member of the Fifty
eighth congress, is the first to an
nounce his candidacy for speaker OF
the house in view of Henderson's with
drawal.
To Washington friend who sent a
telegram of inquiry, Mr.. Littlefeld
sent this reply: ~
IF General Henderson does not re-
turn I shall be a candidate for the
speakership. In that contingency any
thing my friends can do will be ap-
preciated."
Mr.. Littlefeld's friends will urge
him as the candidate of the younger
element of the house and also as a
representative of the antitrust senti-
ment in the Republican party.
They say that if any legislation look
ing to government regulation of great
combinations is passed at the coming
session it will be largely through his
efforts.
On the other hand, if nothing is
done, the organization of the next
house is likely to be fought out quite
as much on trust and antitrust lines
as on tariff revision and anti-tariff re-
vision, and the Maine representative
will be the recognized leader of the
growing sentiment in the Republican
party in favor of curbing the trusts.

Singh, who was declared a bankrupt
Sept. 4, the chairman said the princes
debts amounted to S471,600, of which

is a claim for s3,OOO,oOO against the
Indian government with respect to the
estate of the bankrupt's father.

to the ridiculous insufficiency" of his

in twelve marches, arriving within an
hour or two OF the advance party. Ny
supporting party of Eskimos returning
from Ganger brought down the instru-

the Polar sea with Hensen, four Eski-
mos and six sledges. Old foes COW
cred deep with snow and intersected
with rubble ridges and lanes of young
ice were encountered from the moment
we left the ice foot.
Marches Become PeriIous.
after six marches open leads, foes
in motion were encountered. Two ma
tives were sent back. AS we advanced
the foes became smaller, the pressure
ridges on a grander scale, and the open
leads more frequent. Each days
march was more perilous and our gen
eral course DETECTED west by the char
acter of the ice. Finally at SALT north
lat. northwest of Hecla, the polar
pack became impracticable and
further efforts to advance we're given
up. New leads and pressure ridges
with foggy weather made our return in
some respects more trying than the
advance. Hecla was regained April
29, and Ganger May 3. Leaving Gan
ger May 6 Cape Sabine was reached
on the 18th. A few days later went
north as far as Cape Louis Napoleon
to complete survey of Bobbit bay, re-
turning June 1. A proposed trip across
Ellesmere Land westward was pre-
vented by open water in Buchanan
bay.
