GREAT CORN CROP.

DEPORTS from the agricultural de-
N partment indicate that the corn
crop of the United States for 1902 is the
biggest in the country's history As
nearly as it can be estimated it will
reach d total of 1884, SS2, 900 bushels.
The greatest yield up to this year was
in 1900, when the crop aggregated g.
100000 bushels. Only once before
1900 was the total above the two bill
lion mark This was in 1899, when the
aggregate was 2,O7S. IA, 900 bushels.
OF the 1902 total, the arid and semi
arid states produced but a small pro-
portion. The Wyoming yield. for in
stance. was but $4,000 bushels, Idaho
raised $4,000 and Utah 227,00 Corn
has never fourished in this altitude.
The height above the sea level makes
the nights cold and retards the growth
of the stalks to such an extent that
they cannot reach a profitable matur-
ity. Still, other states raise more than
enough to supply the western de-
ficiency
Illinois alone raised 0,O70. 900 bushels
in 1902. easily leading all the rest of
the states. Others that produced $780,
100000 or more were Missouri, Kansas.
Nebraska and Iowa. Ohio and Indiana
were in the hundred million class. Six
states produced considerably more than
half of the entire yield, and with corn
at 40 cents a busheI or better, their
people should be materially prosperous
this winter.
1t may be interesting to know that
fully 80 per cent of the corn crop of
1902, great as it is. will be used in the
United States. Eighty per cent will be
required in feeding and fattening stock
and 10 per cent goes into the manrfac-
ture of whisky, corn meal and other
products of more or less commercial
value. The balance is exported.

THE DEADLY CIGARETTE.

HE HERALD would like to know
what has become of the movement
against the cigarette evil in the public
schools? The campaign seemed fairly
started when it was announced that a
society had been formed among the
teachers and some of the patrons of
the schools to prosecute tobacco deal
ers who sell cigarettes to boys in VIC
lation Of the law. No arrests have
been made nor prosecutions instituted.
This Is a matter which is Of vital
interest to every parent in the city of
Salt Lake. We prosecute the men
who keep their saloons open on sun
day-sometimes-and we make war
Theoretically the highwayman who
relieves pedestrians of a few dollars
or trinkets, but We allow a worse Of
fender to go scot free. The man who
sells cigarettes to children does infinite
ly more harm than the man who sells
a few furtive drinks of whisky on
Sunday. He is worse than the foot
pad. who, by force and intimidation.
earns a precarious livelihood after
dark.
autupIllleS are responsible
for the statement that the cigarette
habit among boys is worse than the
liquor habit among men; that Il
dwarfs them physically and ruins them
mentally, rendering them unfit to COM
pete in any studies with those who are
not victims of the habit Statistics
about cigarettes. with special reference
to their use by schoolboys, prove that
they are responsible for more failures
in examinations, more inattentiou 70
duties, than any other cause or than
all other causes combined.
There has been no decrease in the
prevalence of the habit in Salt Lake
since the organization referred to at
the beginning of this talk was formed.
Boys may still be found near any
school building in salt Lake pulling
away at villainous cigarettes with all
the airs OF confirmed tobacco topers.
Some OF them seem TO think the habit
manly. but many are shamefaced about

"WE BELIEVE" says the Wall
W Street Journal, concluding an
editorial criticism of the president.
that the attempt to array the fnaH-
eial interests of this country against
Mr.. Roosevelt is unfair and unwise. 1t
is unfair. because he clearly does not in
tend any harm TO the financial or other
business interests. and it is unwise be-
cause open opposition from Wall street
might prove a very strong element in
his favor in an appeal to the country
at large in event of the issue being
fairly joined
The last sentence contains one OF
the most naive. confessions OF wrong
doing that The Herald has come across
in a long time. The Journal almost in
so many words admits that if Presi-
dent Roosevelt arouses the antagonism
of Wall street the voters Of the ma
ton will sustain him in any action he
may see fit to take Or, 20 put the
case differently:
Suppose President Roosevelt should
lay and follow a course in direct OPP
position to what Wall street considers
its best interests. Suppose it should
become known that Wall street was
bitterly opposing Roosevelt's nomina-
ton in 1904. In that event, the Jour
nal acknowledges that no power could
prevent the national Republican con-
vention from nominating the president
to succeed himself.
The general tenor of the Journals
editorial is Roosevelt. and The
Herald is willing to confess right here
that it has never read a finer eompli
ment to the Roosevelt administration
than that unconseiously conveyed in
the Journals utteranee. 1t is proba-
bic that the Wall street organ will be
calmer, now that President RooseveIt's
message has been given to the eoun-
try.
There was no hint in the message
of such hostility TO the trusts as would
indicate determination on the part of
the administration to secure their abol-
ishment. Nor will there be much Sc
rious effort to do away with the trust
evil so long as Philander c. Knox of
Pennsylvania remains in the cabinet
as attorney general.
Mr.. Knox made his legal reputation
as a trust attorney, and he is not GO
ing to be ungratefuf enough to srnite
the hand that fed him. Until he re-
signs or is removed, the country will
be pardoned doubt as to the serious
ness of anything that may cmanate
from administration sources which
manifests a spirit of hostility to the
mammoth combinations of capital and
corporations known as trusts.

PENSIONS FOR WORKERS.

T HE PENSION SYSTEM which Pres
ident Hartman has inaugurated on
the Southern Pacific indicates an in
terest in the welfare of the employees
of that corporation which other en-
pIoyers might emulate with profit. Mr.
Hartman believes that long and faith
full service should be recognized and
rewarded on this earth. His policy is
not only humane, but it is an evidence
of sound business judgment.
When men labor without hope of re-
ward they cannot put into their work
the whole heartedness that they would
put into it under other circumstances.
When employees are assured that in
their old age they will not be turned
penniless away from their fields of Ia
Dor; when they know that the poor
house is no longer a possibility in the
evening of their lives, they will give
the company all the best that is in
them.
The Hartman system is generous. II
provides that employees who have
reached the age of 70 years may be
retired on pensions which in most cases
win enable. them to spend the closing
years OF their lives in modest comfort
To belong to the pension class employees
must have worked for the company for
at least 20 years, if retired for age.
Pensions are also provided for those
who become disabled in line of duty.
The best feature of the system is
that the workers are not required to
contribute to the fund, directly or in
directly. The company assumes every
dollar of the expenditure This makes
u possible for those who desire to
leave the service to do so at any time
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1902-12-07

it. as though they knew they were
committing az almost objectionable
offense. All OF those boys can be saved
if prompt steps are taken.
Prosecute the dealers. One. convicted
dealer win be greater force for good
than all the anti-cigarette talks that
can be made in the school rooms in a
year The dealers are the responsible
parties There is a law. which says
they shall not sell cigarettes to boys
and it is violated every day OF the
year. It should be easy to secure a
few convictions. We do NOT believe the
work can be started too quickly
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1902-12-07

without pecuniary loss other than the
forfeiture OF a prospective pension.
It is wise and just proposition Cor
poratiOns and individual employers are
recognizing more every day the fact
that the laborer IS worthy OF his hire .
They are realizing that TO get the best
results from workmen some hope must
be held out to them OF comfort IN old
age. The average Iaboring man.
whether he is a skilled laborer or not,
in these times of high prices, rarely is
able to save any money.
When the time comes for him to lay
down his tools, he must be supported
by the often unwilling charity OF rela-
tfves or friends. or he must become a
public charge. II is 10 avoid this con-
tingency. so far as Southern Pacific
employees are concerned. that Mr.. Har-
riman has instituted his pension sys-
TEN. The Herald hopes the day is not
far distant when corporations that do
not have pension systems VIII be ex-
ceptions to the general rule.
