NO PLEDGE NEEDED.

QUITE A NUMBER of good Demo-
- Gratis hereabouts have conceived
the idea that it would be a good thing
for the Utah delegation to the st. Louis
convention to go pledged to work for
the nomination Of NJ Hearst for presi-
dent. Others believe it would be well
TO commit the Utah contingent to the
nomination of Judge Parker.
Just why any pledge should be made
in advance does not yet appear. Mr..
Hearst has the advantage Of a well-Or-
ganized propa ganda devoted to his in
terests, and he has a certain degree of
popularity in the west easily explained
by his activity in behalf Of the party
during the last two presidential cam
paigns, and by the sentiment which
has been aroused in his favor by the
newspapers which ne controls. Judge
Parker, while not appearing as a very
active seeker for the nomination, has
had fair degree Of publicity through
a press bureau organized for the pur-
pose, and number Of eastern news
papers of influence which have es-
poused his cause.
In spite of the work done for both
candidates. however, neither Mr..
Hearst nor Judge Parker has aroused
enough enthusiasm here or elsewhere
to justify the committal of the Utah
delegation in advance Of the conven-
tion- In the absence of some specific
issue identified with the personality of
a candidate. there is nothing to be
gained by pre-convention pledges.
In 1896 the issue of the year was not
made until Bryan spoke in the conven-
ton which nominated him; in 1900 *
was a foregone conclusion that Bryan
would again be nominated because the
issue was certain to be the one he had
made, and with which he was most
conspicuously identified in the public
mind.
This year, however, it is practically
certain that Bryan's name viii not be
considered in the convention. and the
campaign issues will be mapped out on
new lines. No one man in the Demo
cratic party today stands out conspic-
uously as the natural, inevitable can
didate. 1t is only certain that a man
must be named upon whom the divided
Democracy. can unite, and just what
man viii furnish this element OF
strength and union Is not discernible
this far in advance Of the convention.
Mr.. Hearst. with his strong following
among the union laboring classes, still
lacks the support OF the more conserva-
tive Democrats who win have much Ia
do with the -party's- success or failure
at the polls Judge Parker. though he
has the advantage OF a safe record, OF
clean character and high standing, is
still an unknown quantity in that his
career in politics has been limited to
his own state and outsiders are not d.
rectly familiar with his qualifications
for the Office.
Under the circumstances, it would
seem wise to elect a delegation from
Utah unDledged to any candidate.

FIFTY OBSTINATE FARMERS.

IT Is A. GREAT PITY that condem-
nation proceedings against the
stockholders in the South Jordan Canal
company, who are blocking the Utah
lake reservoir proposition, cannot be
instituted and successfully carried
through the courts. Fifty obstinate
men are preventing the Inauguration
Of a movement that would result in in
calculable benefit to the Salt Lake val
ley and to the state. More than this.
they are making impossible the car

proposition, one that would bring
LOCO. 900 acres Of land under cultivation
and add from S25, 600 to $50, 600 900 to
the taxing values Of the state.
All that was necessary to the inau-
guration OF these enterprises was the
consent OF the South Jordan people to
accept something like three second feet
Of water less than their present actual
right. They have been getting more
than their rights. 5S.7 second feet, but
that is all they are honestly entitled to.
and the people who have charge Of the
measuring should carefully see TO It
that that is all they get this year. All
Of the other companies have agreed to
accept fifty second feet but the South
Jordan company. with persistence
that is far from commendable, has re-
fused to join the majority.
As far as is known at present there
Is no way by which the obstinate ones
can be forced into an agreement. The
water they have is unquestionably
their own. and II they are so far lack
ing in patriotism that they will insist
on the last inch OF their rights. they

world uncounted millions today are
turning their thoughts toward an

drawn for the guidance of those who
go down to the sea in ships. But every
one of those lines begins at the same
place. every one ends at the same
place. The world has many so-called
Christian religions. The adherents OF
each believe theirs is the only sure
road to heaven, theirs the only path
worth travelling. And every one Of
them stars from the life and the resur-
rection of Christ; every one ends in
eternal joy and peace and rest and
happiness.
Every believer in the Christian re-

Nazarene during his brief journey

GREAT eUNHERY.

HE GUNNERS in the American ma
4 w have been demonstrating again
the fact that they are the best marks
men in the world. Records of the. tar
get practice by the Kearsarge gunners
at Pensacola have just been made pub
lie. With a thirteen-inch gun these
experts scored six bullseyes in seven
shots in FIVE minutes and twenty sec
onds- With an eight-ineh gun ten
bullseyes in ten shots fired in five min
utes We're scored. The men behind a
five-inch gun made a record of eigh-
teen bullseyes in eighteen shots in two
minutes.
At the navy department II is stated
that these records have never been
.eoualed, everything considered. in the
American navy. AS far as the best in
formed officials know. no foreign naval
gunners have ever approached them.
It might be a good idea, in the interest
of peace. to let ali the nations of the
world hear about the gunnery practice
Of the Kearsarge. There is hardly a
battleship in the American navy that
cannot show scores almost as good.
The Kearsarge hasn't the only first
class gunners I'm our navy.
And the best of it all is that our
gunners have showed that in an actual
engagement they do not lose their
nerve. With shells and solid shot
raining around them they continue to
let their own shots go with the deadli-
est accuracy. Montijo discovered this
at Manila, Cervera discovered it in
Santiago bay. Neither admiral had a
ghost of chance to get away with a
sound ship. And no wonder. Our gun
hers are the kind that win sea fights.
