barrels of radishes for 5000

radishes yielded 81, 463 net. In
the spring of 1902 another
truck gardener sold 300 barrel

the same land. He harvested
his corn, sold his melons, and
afterward cut two crops of hay
off of the same land, and on
January 20, 1908, was planting
it again in potatoes. Straw

WHY SALT LAKE HAS FALLEN.

Mr. l.. II. Murdoch. section director
OF the United states Weather Bureau.
has an interesting article in the Ma.
tlonal Geographic Magazine, in which
he discusses the causes OF the fall in
the level Of the water OF the lake. He
believes one cause Is the Increase Of
irrigation. but this IS not the only
cause. Another IS the drought that
has existed for several years past. Mr.
Murdoch points out that from 1868 TO
1886 wet cycle prevailed From 1857
to 1909 a dry cycle prevailed During
the wet yearg the lake rose from 3 feet
IN 1864 20 10 feet IN 1858. Since 1887
the fan has been steady. the total de.
cline from the close Of 1856 to the close
Of 1902 being about 70 feet Tie pre-.

a MILLENNIAL IDEA.

IAN association OF all mankind" Is
the idea Of a Russian, Mr. Noyicow Of
odessa. lie explains this iden IN a
contribution TO the international Quar-
terly. On the whole 1t Is rather cur
ious to contemplate the fact that so
much thought Is given IN Russia to the
possibility OF uniting mankind IN a
brotherhood Russian authors and
s,atesmen have Of late years taken
the lead in measures for the advance
ment Of the cause OF peace and good
WIN on earth.
Novikow takes the view that "the
benefits Of organization increases DE-
rectly with the number Of those com
prlsed in It. Whence the Inference
nigh. be drawn that II the fifteen hun
bred million people that inhabit our
planet formed a single association they
would enjoy the maximum Of wellbeing

RELIGIOUS INTOLERANCE.

That Is how the Kansas city Journal
OF Feb. II characterizes the opposition
10 the seating Of Hon. Reed smoot in
the Senate. The Journal says:
1.-THE opposition 10 the seating OF
| Reed smoot as "a United States sena-
tor from Utah IS not likely to be sue
cesssul. The sole ground Of the fight
on Smoot Is that he Is Mormon ana
an Apostle IN the Mormon Church
| This is urged as conclusive reason
why be should not be allowed to repre-
sent Utah In the senate. Just what IN.
huence his belief In TIE inspiration OF
the Book Of Mormon or the prophetic
character OF Joseph Smith could rea-
sonably be expected 10 have on his
votes on currency measures or bills re-
lating to the government Of the Philip
pine Islands is not clearly apparent
"The opposition 20 Mr.. Smoot appears
TO proceed from that pestilent spirit OF
religious fanatlclsm and intolerance
which has caused nothing but trouble
and misery IN the world. II II can be
shown that the Utah senator-elect Is
engaged In any practice, religious or
otherwise, which IS In violation OF the
laws of his state or Of the United
states--if. for instance, II can be shown
that he Is a practical poygamist-- or
II II can be proven that he holds any
opinion or has been guilty Of any act
which would disqualfy any other man
from sitting IN the senate, regardless
of his religious belief, then he ought
70 be excluded But the fact that Mr..
smoot Ia a Mormon Is no better rea-
son for opposing or excluding him than
the fact that Mr. Cockrel Of Missouri,
IL a Christian would be for unseatlng
him The doctrines Of the Mormon re- |
ligi0n are unacceptable to a large ma
jOrity OF people; but their religious be- |
lief aid not prevent the Mormons from |
being admitted TO full citizenship, and |
Il ought not TOT estop them from send |
ing member Of their church 10 the |

presidency II they can get votes enough |
Religious federation Is one OF the |
foundation stones Of our government. |
Every enlightened statesman Of the |
country has frowned upon manifesto
lions Of the spirit which inspires the |
opposition to SmoOt To so great |
length have we carried liberation Of |
religious opinions Of all kinds that we |
have had at least one presdent-Jeffer-
son--who was an avowed infidel. When |
the time comes 20 pass on Mr., Shoots

is made against him that that ne Is
Mormon. the senate should promptly
give him his seat 70 which he has been
elected, and thus show to the world

has dictated the fight on him at least
