If the vote polled by Alton b. Par
ker is less than that polled by Bryan
in his last campaign. it is safe to
say that the democracy of the country
will again sweep back to the Bryan
/ sentiment, after having tested the
strength of the conservative ideals as
represented by Parker, Should Par
ker's vote be greater than Bryan's, it
will perhaps be a signal for a perma-
nent conservatism in the party and.
it will remain for the socialists, with
the aid of the ultra radicals from
ties to fight out the issue of govern
ment ownership, which is the next
American people. There is no use to
speak the words government owner
ship" with bated breath and awe
struck countenance. II is one of the
great problems of government and 1t
is now up for solution. If Parker
fails to hold the confidence of the
radical democrats, it is safe to say
that u government ownership of rail-
roads, telegraphs, telephones and coal
mines, democratic platform, four
years hence, after the people have
paid for few more $5,000,OO0 war
ships, will sweep the country com
pletely. The splendid results of mu-
nicipal ownership of light water and
other public utilities. is urging for
ward with irresistible force the grow
ing sentiment in favor of government
ownership. 1t is an educational pro-
cess and cannot be attained at
bound. Rottenness and fraud in
dealing with the people and in throt-
tling helpless Industries by exorbtant
rates and unjust regulations are all
carrying forward the educational
campaign slowly, but with certainty
1t remains for the election on No
vember to decide on the next spon-
sor for this great principle

Splendid and beautiful is that un-
faltering patriotism of the little
brown Japanese, which, from the
fartherest corners of the world bark
ems to the faintest call of his old
Nippon. to offer his life for her
safety. 1t is not the blind idolatry
of the unthinking pagan which thus
appeals to the Jap. but it is a love
of country and a high national life,
made strong and adhesive by thous-
ands of years of history and tradi-
tion. 1t is not fear of the wrath OF
a ruler. but rather love that Is
amazing in its self-sacrifice. The
young men now speeding back from

Secretary Hay has been busy for
several days explaining to the Assocl-
ated Press that it is no reflection on
John Barrett, minister to Panama,
for the president to order the sec
retary of war to go TO Panama to
investigate the trouble which Barrett
had just declared did not exist. II is
no reflection on Barrett, of course. 1t
is Just mild way of telling Barrett
that the president didn't believe a
word he said and would not risk the
interests of the United States in his
hands

II is shame that there is not
more enthusiasm over the election of
a president. Two such admirable
American citizens as Roosevelt and
Parker are entitled to good per-
Torrance from the jumping-jacks n
which they pull the string. 1t is dis
courteous to the candidates, If moth
ing worse, to spend so little money
and makes so little noise.

Nobody is being deceived by the
enforced civility of two or three of
the whiskey peddling joints just pre-
ceding the election. They are still in
existence with all their accustomed
viciousness suppressed for a time in
the effort to deceive a few people un-
til after the election. After that, If
they still have right to do business,
they will be more brazen than ever,
because of their temporary triumph.
II the city authorities and the respec-
table saloon men will cooperate with
the moral element in the city. in
abolishing the dives where women,
boys and Indians are fed on tarantula
juice. they need have no fear of the
prohibition vote. Otherwise, they
may well be alarmed. Decency is al

II the attack OF the Baltic fleet on

sian empire by England. Ii it was

fear of Il Japanese war vessel. the

because of Russia's culpability in
turning such incapacity and irrespon-
sibility loose upon the high seas with
such engines of destruction at its dis
posal. No commerce is safe in the
presence Of those bloodthirsty, war
mad brigands of the north. The
would-be Christian nations should
drive Russia back from the east
coast of Asia. restore Manchuria to
China, re-establish the sovereignty
and independence of Korea and force
the slav to confine his depredatlons
to his own territory. The powers are
too cowardly and too jealous to en-
force even the common international
rules of decent warfare. The rever .
ence for a throne and puppet crown
is stronger than the fear of God or
the love of the rights of man. Rus
sia has insulted every doctrine of in
ternational rights and every establish
ed precedent regulating and guaran-
teeing the individuality of nations,
and yet no word of protest is spoken
by the christian" powers.

NEBEKER WILL
BE A CANDIDATE
Cache Man in Race For Gov
ern0r ship.
MAY STOP COUNTY FIGHT
monsoon AND THoRESoN CON-
TESTANTS FOR SAME PLACE.

Logan, Sept 2.--Aquila Nebeker has
been forced by his friends here and
elsewhere to enter the Democratic gu
bernatorial race, and ii is practically
certain now that his name win be pre-
scented 10 the convention by Cache
county. His friends here have never
given up hope of inducing him to per-
nit his name to go before the conven-
ton. and he mas finally consented to
let them have their way, although he
viii not make any personal effort 10
secure support.
Nebeker's action, which was taken at
the urgent solicitation Of friends today,
has simplifed matters here somewhat.
Joe Monson has been considered a pos
sibility for the nomination for secretary
OF state for some time, and yesterday
/. Z. Thoresen made formal announce
ment Of his candidacy for the same
place. This indicated that a sharp con-
test would occur in the county conven-
ton and that a divided delegation
would go to Salt Lake.
A declaration for Nebeker for gov
ernor, II is believed, will obviate this
friction and insure a united delegation
at the convention, and Nebeker's
friends believe that he viii get the
nomination. Offers Of support pour in
from ali sides. A very bitter feeling
has developed against MOylc here. and
yet il has no substantial foundation.
But leading Democrats who were ar
dent supporters OF his before now say
they won't vote for him. and his nOmi-
nation is feared for the effect that it
may have on the county ticket.

GOVERNMENT LETHARGIc.
Belief That Uintah Reservation VIII
Not be Thrown Open March |.

Vernal, Aug. 5O.-NViH the I7intan reser-
walton be opened on March J. as gwen OUT
by the interior department, Is Il question
that Is being asked in view of he slow
progress being made with aIotments by
Allotting Agent d. NJ Frost who is sup
posed TO be well along in his work, but
VINO IN reality has done almost nothing,
ii the reports received here from what
seem TO be reliable sources are true.
1t has been learned from parties who
are thoroughly acquainted with the
situation that il is very apparen. on the
surface that no energy Is being aispiayed
in getting things into shape for Inc open
ing, and there is a lurking suspicion that
certain influences in favor of delay are
at work.
A certain party. whose name Is withheld
Tor good and sufficient reason, bur who
Is IN the government employ, has made
the statement recently mat almost no
progress is being maze with the alIot-
mentS. According 10 this authority Al
lotttng Agent Frost Is unpepular with the
Indians and they absolutely refuse 10
recognize him as one having aut hority
10 act IN the matter. This. Il seems. does
not disturb Frost in the least, ana with
an expensive retinue and u fat salary he
Is simply resting on his oars, caring Vers
little whether the Indians ever consent to
the allotments. so long as the salary anu
expenses continue.
There is "A settled belief among those
in position TO understand the SITUATION
that a radical change in the conduct OF
affairs is necessary if the opening is to
be brought about on time. Whether this
change Will occur will depsEc upon
wheIh her the present dilatOry methods are
part of n settled policy TO delay the open
ing in tho interest Of a certain ring of
grsfterS whose influence has been so po-
tent on all matters pertaining ID the res
ervation for several years past
There is no valid reason why all the
preliminaries for the throwing open OF
the reserve should not be attended to IL
a very short time. anG any further delay
Is without excuse.
The main topic of discussion Just now
IS the result Of the recent Republican
convention. One of the big surprises that
most interests this county was the cleo.
ton of II. 2. Myton as one o. The pres
Dental electors. and above all, The sup
port given him by the UinIan county
delegation. MytOn. while agent a White
rocks, was the persistent enemy Of Ulntah
county. He had nothing but sneers and
contempt for the people here. and never
missed an opportunity TO throw il into
the people living here. No man in Clntah
county has expressed himself In more
vigorous language in denunciation OF
MyIon and his methods than f. S. Cot
le-t. chairman of the Uintah delegation.
and his action in supporting him IN the
convention is amazing 20 his friends here.
Truly, politics makes strange bedfeilOYs.'
Myton's name on the ticket viii lose the
Republicans a good many votes in tnts
