The progressive farmer and the cotton plant., 1904-10-18
Aunt Jennie's Letter.

Dina, our new field, and we hope
for more from the same section. Re
member that The Progressive Farm
er and The Cotton Plant are one
paper now and we are anxious to
have our readers in South Carolina
join our Social Circle. You have
read this department for several
weeks now, and besides we are nigh
bors, and / know that were you to
send US an occasional letter we
should be of mutual benefit to each
other.
The letter from L. L., written in
St. Louis, is of especial interest to
those of us who have not had the
pleasure of seeing the great show;
however, there are subjects nearer
home which would prove of equal in
terest and benefit to all of us. If
you do not care to write a long let
ter, just send us a short one telling
us whether or not you like our
Chats; and if not, why not, and how
we can best improve our department
or make it better for the readers of
the paper. We are here to serve
you; if you give us no hint as to how
you like things done and leave us to
use our W discretion, can you
blame us if we fail to please you
occasionally?
1 am delighted to know that the
Circle has walked from its summe
doing and has begun to get ready
for winter housekeeping. This
means long evenings with you cozily
ensconced by the lamp with pen and
paper ready to give the circle the
benefit of your thoughts. Autumn
and winter are retrospective sea-
sons; home with it's pleasures seems
dearer and nearer than in summer
when all nature beckons one out to
enjoy her lavish beauty.
Now I wish to ask a favor of our
lady readers and correspondents.
Can't you persuade the good man of
the house to join our Chat-or per
haps the big brother or son? And
you girls who think some man whom
YOU know to be the most manly man
YOU have ever seen: can'tyou induce
him to let us have the pleasure of
reading some of his lofty ideas or
receive the benefit of some of his
practical common sense2 Get him
to write for the Circle. And that
girl friend-have you told her of
our department and that it is simply
a social circle for mutual helpful
ness and entertainment? Now as
to the mothers who are never too
busy (they tell me) to read our
page-of course, we appreciate this,
hut we should like so much to have a
letter from them. If mother wants
to write us but does not find time to
do so. can't you let her tell you
what she would tell us if she could.
and you write it down and send it
Tn us2 We should know then that

THE STATE OUTLOOK.

UsT A WEEK from today the Re-
} publican state convention viii
meet for the purpose of nominating
state candidates. a candidate for con-
gresham, and a state committee to
conduct party affairs during the cam
paign.
Since the beginning OF statehood in
1925 there has been no such bitter pre-
liminary fight within the party IS this
year witnesses. Part of this is due TO
the complications growing out or Sena-
tor Shoots election and investigation.
and part Of 1t TO the natural anxiety
for office in the party in power.
Just who viii be named for governor
does not yet appear because the claims
Of the candidates and their supporters
are so far apart a. to Justify a sus-
picion that somebody has stretched the
truth all out of shape. Mr.. Cutler
backed by Senator Smoot and . num-
Der Of influential corporations, Cover
nor Wells with two terms behind him,
and Secretary of state Hammond,
who desires promotion, are all appar-
emily sanguine they viii be named
Obviously two of them are doomed to
disappointment in the convention, and
quite probably the successful one
there is likely to set-his disappoint-
menJ later at the polls.
The main point of interest TO Demo
Gratis, however, is the fact that no mat
ter VINO is CHOSEN. he is going to run
with handicap. Governor Wells mas
been governor for nine years and a.
good many people in and out of his
party think that is about enough gov
ernor for one man; Mr.. Hammond has
had a fair share Of public life. also.
and has besides. the prestige Of one
defeat when I,e ran for congress AR
Cutler is Senator Shoots man and
hailed as such by the Smoot contin-
gent. Possibly that may be an advan-
tage in a canvass just now, but TO an
outsider it looks like putting pretty
heavy weight on a green horse to make
him carry the SmOOt cOlOrs-
On the other hand, the Democrats
Will line up as one man against their
opponents; they have no inside fight
they viii name a good ticket Unham-
pered by any fractional feeling, and
they win go in TO win.
If the Republicans reconcile their
differences, they may have a chance 20
carry the state; but reconciliation now
is about as far off as the planet Jupi

MINING CONGRESS WORK.

CALT LAKE ought to give ". II. lib
- balls a unanimous vote Of thanks
for mis- work as chairman Of the COM
mittee which has been organizing TO
secure the permanent location Of the
mining congress in this city. There are
numbers who have assisted, and still
others who have been in sympathy with
the movement, but Professor Tibbals
has gone into the campaign with a Wig
or and intelligence that deserve special
recognition.
The results of his energy are already
apparent in the growing interest taken
in the plan by business men and others
Not only IS there a strong determine
ton to secure the headquarters, but
subscriptions for membership are com
ing in at a rate 10 show that this de-
termination is Of the cash-in-advance
kind, the kind that counts.
salt Lake may not realize her hopes
and some other city may carry of the
prize, but the indications of success
are most promising The delegation
from here to Portland viii be a strong
one. both in numbers and standing,
and the case for Salt Lake viii be pre-
scented by Judge .. W Powers, which
is TO say it win be presented
forcfbly. eIoquentiy and most per
suasively. It is worth noting. too.
that the effort TO get this congress has
been attended by a display of public
spirit, a union OF interests not always
harmonious. that augurs well for q
general revival Of work in common for
the progress Of salt Lake

SILL pIsRgPuTARLE.

S MIGHT HAVE BEEN expected,
A the Deserst News lodges and
evades it's responsibility for circulat-
ing a malicious lie about Senator
Clark and attempts to discredit The
Herald's editorial on the subject.
Among other things, the News
says It 4 lied to doubt very much
whether the senator ever wrote the
words which are placed over his sig
nature" The News may rest as
Bured that the senator not only wrote
the words himself, but he approved
entirely Of all that was said about its
cowardly system of circulating known
6alsehoods which it was afraid to
print on its own authority
Moreover, the senator had TOLERATE
ed longer than most men would the
constant, persistent. disTeputable pub
aication of matter by the News calcu-
dated to belittle his part in the initia-
ton and completion of the Los An
geles road. It was only under constant
provocation and after forbearanee had
ceased to be a virtue that he spoke;
and when he did speak through the
columns Of The Herald he meant all
he said and exactly what he said
The News whines that 1T has pub
lished more matter favorable to the
San Pedro project and given more
support to Senator Clark in pushing
the enterprise than all the papers in
Utah put together" That, of course,
IS plain rot, and everybody here
knows it The News has published a
good deal about the Clark road; but
T. has also been careful to publish so
much that was untrue of Senator
Clark's part in the project, so much
that was calculated 10 beIttle his
share in the, whole undertaking, 50
much that no reputable newspaper in
Utah would print, that it has been
placed in the list Of those knockers
who would rather discourage invest
ment in Utah and Salt Lake than see
a personal grudge pass unqualified.
It may be friendship for Senator
Clark to circulate as news a wild
flake" to tie effect that he had to
borrow money from a woman in order
TO complete his railroad; it may be
friendly to republish as authentic
every bit of vicious gossip about the
senator emanating from his enemies;
but If that is a sample of what the
News calls friendship, the senator is
not going TO sit still and bear it with
out expressing his opinion Of that
kind Of journalism
The Herald repeats that no reput-
able newspaper would have repub-
Iished the Chronicle article without
investigation or an opportunity given
Senator Clark TO say what he thought
OF it. The News did republish it. it
did give the story an air of anthem
ITCHY. and it was guilty. as charged.
of disreputable Journalism.

AREEpEp EXPERIMENT.

| y AN INTERVIEW with The Herald
yesterday. Elwood Mead. chief en-
gineer Of the government irrigation in
vestigations, discussed problem of the
utmost Importance to Utah. namely,
the experiments in drainage OF alkaIi
lands with q view TO their reclamation
The experiments being carried on in
cache county VIII eventually determine
just what is the best method OF drain
age, its cost, and the possibilities of the
land reclaimed. 1t needs no extended
argument to prove the importance of
this question TO Utah Where lands
have been irrigated over a period OF
years. the lower levels are reasonably
sure to become inpregnated with alkali.
Their usefulness is impaired if not en-
tirely destroyed. To restore their value
means the salvation OF large sums of
money to the people and the extension
Of the area Of arabic land.
For instance. there is an immense
tract Of land between the Jordan river
and the Great salt lake which is Of lit
tie value for crops because Of its alkali.
In location. proximity to market and
other conditions it should be worth
hundreds Of thousands OF dollars II 1t
could be cultivated successfully. If the
government experiments prove thai it
can be reclaimed economically, il viii
provide an immediate opening for Op-
erations on a large scale and eventually
add that tract TO the farming lands OF
the STATE It * IN no hoDpd the eNDeri-
ments under Professor Mead's super
vision win prove as successful as its
directors seem to think they will be.

1892 AND 1904.

D EPUBLICANS deplOre the apathy
II that has settled down upon the
campaign. If tley take the trouble to
recall the campaign OF 1892, tEeiT feel
ing viii change TO anxiety If not con-
sternation. The striking similarity OF
the two campaigns has been noted
Apathy was the chief characteristic
of the campaign Of 1892. The RepUb-
licans were in power as they are now.
\ short time before they had enacted
the Mckinley law whick was the chief
point Of attack on the part Of the
Democrats from beginning TO the end
OF the campaign. Labor troubles
PLAYED a prominent part in the con-
test-few have forgotten the Home
stead strike and the Pinkerton detec-
tives. Panic was settling down upon
the nation. Republicans were cock
sure OF a sweeping victory, and bet
ting odds were largely in favor Of
Harrison The battle-ground was made
up of New York, New Jersey, Con
necticut. Indiana, Illinois and Wiscon-
sin.
Note the parallel: This year apathy
s. pronounced. Republican appeals fan
upon deaf ears The party is IN power
ii all branches Of tie federal govern
ment Aside from the personality OF
The candidate, the -ini1ui-i'=s Of the
Dingley tariff constitute the chief
point Of attack of Democrats. Labor
troubles have broken out in all parts
Of the country, due in most cases to
reductions in wages. Again come the
Tumblings Of hard times from the
money centers. Three I1onths ago Re
publieans were cocksure Of sweeping
ali before them, and tke betting odds
stiu favor Roosevelt. The battle-ground
This year VIII be made up Of New
York. Connecticut. New Jersey. Della
ware. West Virginia, Indiana, Illinois
and Wisconsin.
IN addition 10 all this the most ar
dent Republican viii not claim that
Theodore Roosevelt is stronger man
than was Benjamin Harrison. Few
Democrats VIII claim that Cleveland
as candidate was stronger in 1892
than Judge Parker is this year.
Apathy always means trouble for
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1904-08-19

the party in power. The appeal to the
appetite for office falls fiat because
the Offices are ali gone The cry Of TIE
full dinner pail is this year known TO
be hollow moekery. The gamblers
cry to stand pat has no force be-
cause the American people are looking
10 the future The appeal 10 organize
IS resented because President Roose-
welt shows contempt for organization
leaders. The appeal to common sense
IS suicidal because common sense die
tates the election Of Judge Parker. All
present indications point 10 a repeti-
ton in 1904 of the Democratic land
slide OF 1892.
