Speaking of speeches and their effects,
that man William Alden Smith is a clever
proposition. As a magnetic talker he is
one Of the very best in congress- His out
burst over the Bristow report leading. to
the nomination Of 'Uncle Joe'' Cannon for
president was not the first time Smith has
showed his ability to pick up crowd
and make it do his will. A year ago,
when the beet sugar Cuban reciprocity
debate was on, Smith made a speech
which drove the members crazy. William
Alden is g. very clever talker. In way
he is quite as eloquent as Bryan: and
with proper theme and occasion he is
as likely to start a stampede His method
is a bit on the Mark Anthony order; he
is just plain blunt man who loves his
friend and so forth. A clever, self-edu-
cated-and NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. man is
William Alden, and certain soon to grad
uate into the senate or some better place
than the house seat.

Indians of the Copper river country In
southern Alaska are reported to be perish
ing from disease and starvation and the
government has instructed General Fun
ston, in command of the military forces
in Alaska, to furnish relief. Our govern
ment has never treated the natives of
Alaska with proper consideration. They
are a peaceable, gentle hammered people,
hospitable to the whites and easy victims
Of the demoralizing influences Of frontier
| life Contact with the white has been dis
astrous to them in many ways, and yet
aside from the establishment Of a few
schools among them the government has
done nothing for their betterment. On the
contrary it has by unwise game laws and
in other ways made 1t much more difficult
for them to support themselves comfort
ably than it was before the Alaska spur7
chase. They have practically no tribal
organization and are not recognized as
having any rights of possession which the
white man is bound to respect. It Is time,
for the honor of the nation, that these
people were taken under the special care
Of the government. If this is not done
they will soon be extinct It is estimated
by the Alaskan authorities that disease
and starvation have reduced the Indian
population so per cent during the past six
or seven years. This is an appalling state

lions Of the democracy in the north,
The editor Of the Atlanta Constitu-
ton, who Is Georgia's national demo-
cratic committeeman, and one Of the
most influential democrats in the
south, declares that that time has al
ready arrived. Mr.. Howell says that
the southern democracy will stand
back and let the democratic presi-
Dental nomination go, without contest
from the south, to some man Of the
north. at the st. Louis convention, but
that will end 1t. After this campaign
the southern democracy will assert its
rights, and will let the whole united
country have notice that the forty

of southern democratic statesmen to

thereafter no point of availability is

An Honest Confession.

Democratic newspapers the country
over take pleasure in quoting from
the New York World. That paper is
one OF the greatest opponents OF De-
omcracy this country possesses, and its
utterances are regarded as little short
of inspiration. However the small
fry that copy from this great paper
are not big enough to quote indiscrim-
inately and honestly, hence none have
seen the following on the trust ques-
ton. The World says:
!. The antitrust law was framed
by Republican, was passed by a Re-
publican House and Republican
Senate, was signed by Republican
President.
>. The law remained dead letter
on the statute books during the entire
second term of Grover Cleveland, a
Democratic president. Through those
four years of Democratic administra-
tion all appeals and all efforts of the
World to have the law enforced were
met with Sneers, ieerS and open con-
tempt from Democratic Attorney
General, Richard Olney, who pretend
ed that the law was unconstitutional,
and who would do nothing toward
prosecuting viOlators Of it.
3. The first effort TO enforce the
law was made by Theodore Roosevelt
a Republican president. The first
Acknowledgement TO vigorously prose-
cute offenders and to test the law was

lander {. Knox.

court of the United States, given as Il

tutional and absolutely impregnable
! in every respect, as the World for
twelve years constantly insisted, was
due TO five Judges, every one of whom
is Republican.

court included every Democratic Judge

of Louisiana and Mr.. Justice Peck

guished Democrats not only voted

The women are said to be up in arms
against the proposed ordinance max
ing it possible to consduct billiard
halls Immediately over and adjoining
saloons. At a club meeting the other
day the matter was discussed at some
length and 1t was the prevailing opin-
ion that it is desirable to have the pool
rooms "wherc our boys will not be
coaxed through "A devilish saloon in
order to get into them. There is not
a great deal of objection to the pool
rooms but the women insist that they
should be as far away from the saloon
as possible. They take little stock in
the argument that when the saloons
and billiard halls are close together
they can be watched to better advan-
tage. and say that sufficient taxes are
being paid to furnish the city with all
the police force it needs. If the wo-
men take this matter up through
their clubs and make it a matter of
politics in the future they can make
it uncomfortable for some of the coun-
cilmcn-for women vote in Utah.

one of the first pieces OF road that
should receive the attention of the
board OF County Commissioners is
that between Logan City and the
sugar factory. Many visitors who
come to Logan want to see the fact
DRY and are unable to go owing to the
bad condition of the roads. How
ever. it is not this class alone to be
wholly considered. In the fall of the
year hundreds of beet haulers travel
that road. The character of the soil
Is such that with very little storm
the road becomes almost impossible.
These beet haulerS are all tax payers.
The Wellsville people would also be
benefited by the building of the road,
Furthermore, the factory is entitled
TO consideration. They are heavy
tax payers to the county, paying more
than either one Of fifteen school dis,
trictS in the county. Everything con.
Sidered, the stretch of road from Log.

business men of this city have sug-
geSted the idea of an electric road
connecting Hyrum and Preston, and
and say that they are willing to take
stock in such an enterprise. 1t is pro-
posed that the Hercules people be
given the opportunity of furnishing
power for the same and that some
amicable arrangement be made be-
tween the city and Hercules people
whereby the former may handle the
city light business without opposition.
1t is also Il part of the proposed
scheme that the county, instead OF
buying road building outiit,may join
with the movers in this enterprise
and use the new line for hauling
gravel. This scheme is being serious
" considered by various men who are
not visionary and IL is possible that
some effort may be put forth to ac
complish the desired end.
